To be honest, the bible is a supperb book of moral

Not if you actually care to read the whole thing.

(I'm not suggesting you should)

Well, alright then, I guess voting is over.

1st - ildu
2nd - Loominous
3rd - Clip

Thanks for all the votes and entries, it's been fun.

Great last-minute entries, ildu and loominus. Glad we got some more competitors before it ended. 

All right people, start your voting.

Bumping this now. If you want to skip in with a background, now's a good time to start working.

FoY, Ben Jordan 6, Sqaure John Boy, Drugbust and that sexy-looking Earl Mansin game.

I think it's better to focus on functional graphics, rather than good or bad.

A little over a day left, people. If anyone need to extend the deadline, don't hesitate to ask.

Deadline extended.

Less than a week left, folks. I don't like how this thread is slowly moving downwards.

This might be interesting for some, I know I've put it to good use:

[THE CELL]

Hello, here I am. Sorry for being a tad late, I was caught up in traffic. I'm not sure if this has been done already, but if it has, I don't see why we shouldn't do it again. Nothing turned up in the search results, though. I sat the end date to the 20th 24th, since most people submit their submissions right before deadline anyway. But if someone needs a few days extra, tell me and I'll extend it. Also, I stole ildu's fancy competition set-up. Just try and stop me!

Nice game, nihilyst.

Thanks!

(it's a theme park, lots of employees, no?) 

And a theme park can't be complete without a flower minister, right?

Right.

Amazing sprites, by the way.

SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) -- Steve Irwin, the Australian TV presenter known as the "Crocodile Hunter," has died after being stung in a marine accident off Australia's north coast.

Didn't come off as the biggest surprise, but this really sucks.

And PLEASE don't anybody steal my ideeas and make these games before me. I'll be so ashamed...  :'(

I'm sure some of those have already been thought up before, but never made. I recently was asking myself how hard it would be to make a game company tycoon in flash, and there's probably more people than me out there that's done the same. As for shop or train? Both taken, as you mentioned oil and farm was too.

I don't think an unique theme is enough for a successful tycoon game. So instead of worrying that somebody is going to steal your list, I'd concentrate on what is going to make your game stand out, instead of just being another clone.

Cyb Warez group (like razor 1911, myth, etc)

  Could be cool! Hire crackers, suppliers, couriers, demoscene people, ...worldwide!, bribe police, etc

This is a really cool idea. Of course, to have it stand out from all the other Tycoon games could be a challenge.

That made me lol.

In five years laughter will be obsolete and officially replaced by the acronym "lol".

A poor shack is the victim of progress. And nobody cares.

I was just watching "Son of Sam" yesterday, and they were playing "The Who" songs all the time. I think we just reached a new dimension of craziness.

In a communist country you would have been shot for being so stupid and useless to society and trying to steal money from your government.

Communism sounds great. Instead of taking care of a problem, you just shoot it.
