Thanks for giving me the hat. :) But Can I request a different color? Right now, Flags looks a little too much like a pig for my tastes. It's just not kosher.

Not sure what would stand out. I'm fond of dark blue. I'd happily take some shade of green, as long as it doesn't become hard to see against the green backgrounds. Black could also potentially work. I'm open to other suggestions.

Also, while there are advantages to top-down perspective, I'll miss the different positions and effects you can see from the more isometric view. (Bending down to plant a mine, swooping across to Rescue, etc.)
Mostly offline/inactive due to chronic health issues. PM me if you really need attention.

It's just a problem I'll have to deal with unless I can get ahold of a computer, which I guess I could go to the library occasionally to do. One of those problems with using a console rather than a computer. Blasted viruses that destroyed my computer. Right-clicking, as far as I'm aware, doesn't exist for the PS3.

Well, Peg-leg, Stumbles, Dies-to-a-Mine are already Blue, so please think about something else. We have an abundance of purple-ish players too ( Finds, Burt, No-Leg and Shiny), so yeah that is out of question. Black might work but I don't really want a black goblin, although I think some kind of green would fit here... or some red/brown/orange-ish, Thac0-like? Or you won't join that bandwagon either?

Yeah, but I have to admit, I was lazy doing body animations, because they took so damn long. Bending down was a preset which I did only once, and the rescue was just the same character standing, and the hanging "saved" player just fiddled there with like 5 strokes of line. I just can't keep up with drawing that much, or it will likely result in cancelling the game...(Dunno if you remember the word-guessing dungeon I made on the prev forum with absolutely custom gear for players. Yeah, the reason it stopped because I ran out of drawing enthusiasm, sorry. )


I'm missing a spawning location from Dies-to-a-Mine and Oh See that Shiny to get the party started!

Orange seems to be taken. Red wouldn't work with the hat. I'm fine with green or brown.

Runsaround, you forgot to make your move.

I think that won't work. C4 is already occupied by See Four.

^This. Sometimes I wonder what should I do to make people take things just a tiny little bit more seriously.

You need to force them to DM turn-based games. ;)

Hah, Burt looks great, all surrounded by bottles and bones and relaxing on a rock with a chubby belly. Love it! :lol:

I'm sorry, I got friends over the whole weekend and just saw you started the game and I was able to spawn so I just took a random spot on the map. (not to mention I used the phone)
But the people are gone and I got time to actually check things the proper way again.

But Shiny spawns at K8 *checks again* seems K8 is legit.

Maybe we should put Dies-to-a-Mine to a wait and move No-Legs onto active list? It has been almost three and a half days from the beginning of turn 0 with Runsaround online every day, running all around the place.

See Four is now my Avatar woot! I couldn't figure out how to take the green skin and convert it into orange on GIMP. But the 4 is there and I believe his affinity for all things boom is displayed accurately :P

Yay! I'm back from my first con ever!

Awesome pixel art guys, I love it!

Now I'm confused, am I waiting or not? Oh well, you can toss No-Legs onto B8 if I'm active, I guess. Otherwise, I can wait on the sidelines some more... as long as something goes boom, I'm happy!

I'm being nice and take it into consideration that it has been a weekend, and updating weekends might not be good for everyone. Still, Runsaround, if you happen to come by, please do post the location where you enter the game, you have time until monday passes over the US too, which should be around 7 hours from now on.

I will make an update in the morning, if Runs fails to appear then No Legs is jumping in. Please note guys that updates will come generally at night time in Europe, that is earlier afternoon in the US. I'd like to make an update daily except for the weekends, that is free for everyone - if each active player posts however, then I'll squeeze out extra, but don't force each other... :)

That being said, to make up for the lost today, I'd like to update tomorrow in the morning and at night too. I'd like to ask every active and waiting players to be on their toes, because I already forsee numerous explosions... :D (If the shortened length between tomorrows updates results in people not being able to post in time, then the next update will appear on wednesday evening, as scheduled.)

Thanks! I tweaked a picture I found and wrote the 4 on his head :D, let's see if he's a bomb miner or bomb magnet :P

Finds to E6! "You know what I miss? I miss my sculpture I had of you guys. It was magnificent. It is a shame that this map does not have a monument to our DEATHS."
