Hey robalan, long time no talk.

How the heck are ya?

Evan · **Reply #3 on:** August 16, 2005, 11:36:11 pm

Heh, new mods, eh?

Congrats everyone.

I'd be interested in running for that peer representative thing. I work for the PEOPLE.

robalan · **Reply #4 on:** August 17, 2005, 12:14:41 am

Hey, NG. I'm doing fine. Haven't pixeled much (or, indeed, any) since pixelation went down, but I hope to pick it back up now that my art has a home. I'll be sure to do some c+c-ing as well; I seemed to be better at that than at actually making my own art. Sorry for the random tangential ramble. Yeah. I'm doing fine. I need to head over and get some critiques posted sometime.

Skipper · **Reply #5 on:** August 17, 2005, 12:37:02 am

I nominate Evan for mod.

And myself.

StairwayToEvan, I think you have the right idea bout the election but you're going about it in the wrong way. Right now it seems that you're just attacking Skipper or anyone that's going to run too. However you need to do something that makes you stand out positively instead of attacking everyone!

Please keep in mind that and feel free to redo your thread. <3

Peppermint Pig · **Reply #29 on:** August 17, 2005, 07:34:27 pm

If he wants to run on the anti-baby eating propaganda, well, why not? Are we not about liberty?? But maybe David should second Evan, because he's lost his support from Skipper.

Dogmeat · **Reply #30 on:** August 17, 2005, 08:40:12 pm

If anyone wants to nominate me that would be fine with me, I wouldn't mind doing a little above and beyond for pixelation. I'm a long time member of pixelation, save for my year break where I didn't even want to look at a pixel, but i'm getting back into it, finding my groove and am happy that everything is starting up again. The greatest thing about pixelation is the people, and once the steam starts building up theres no stopping the kettle from screaming some awesome stuff that we can do. IF you nominate me I would make it my top priority to work with Pep on getting some of the old "projects" back up and running, IE: the postcard project, I think if we can finish one of those and have a nice little process to creating something, printing it out and sending it to all our members that would be a great start. Hell, even if you don't nominate me, pep shoot me a message and maybe we can talk about these things? Anyway, thanks for your time.

Dogmeat · **Reply #35 on:** August 17, 2005, 10:02:46 pm

ha that's great pep! I'll throw those in my campaign thread and people can have a choice, does this mean you support me?

Peppermint Pig · **Reply #36 on:** August 17, 2005, 10:23:42 pm

Technically, I shouldn't say anything about favoring: I don't want to appear biased

I do enjoy making banners though!

Moderators are not able to compete for the seats either... but we have a position called Tenkei-Daijin, and one mod must fill it. There's no system in place for how we pick that person, but Pyro seems interested

Darien · **Reply #37 on:** August 17, 2005, 10:26:37 pm

Heh, right now supporting anyone is not really an issue, right? There's four seats availiable and three people running.

Oh yeah, Pep, do we get four votes or just one?

Peppermint Pig · **Reply #38 on:** August 17, 2005, 10:41:56 pm

I Think people should be able to vote four times.. but the voting system is limited. Let's vote in a tiered fashion. Seat 1, then seat 2, 3 and 4. That will let you pick your first, second, third, and fourth choices if we happen to have more candidates than seats... It takes a bit more time to get the results *need time for people to vote* if everyone's okay with having the voting go a bit faster, say, add a week, and spend half the week per seat...

Err, to clarify... we either...

1. Have a voting thread for each seat. Additionally, we can assume all candidates are running for all seats, unless they specify they dont want to challenge for seat X. In which case, if someone wins multiple seats, they are voided and we pick the runner up.

2. One vote thread at a time, in order of seat ranks.. 1, 2, 3, 4.... (might take longer)

Peppermint Pig · **Reply #39 on:** August 18, 2005, 12:56:35 am

Everyone, please, if you are going to run for a representative seat, post about it here and get support first before you start to campaign. This helps the staff keep track of who's interested in running, despite whether you campaign or not! This is a cakewalk compared to getting on the ballot in a real election!

FaeryShivers · **Reply #40 on:** August 18, 2005, 01:05:00 am

for a community or society to survive, there must always be competition. it is what drives us to better things, which is what this forum is about isn't it? yes, our personal journeys along the pixel-paved road are what brings us together and unites us under a common flag, the flag of PIXELATION!!!!!

Darien · **Reply #50 on:** August 18, 2005, 01:26:18 am

I have a question: are there any current plans for Commercial Critiques and Challenges to come back, and if not, are any of you current candidates willing to work toward bringing them back?

Blick · **Reply #51 on:** August 18, 2005, 01:28:07 am

Try reading the campaign topics. Because I bet (know) that the answer is yes.

Peppermint Pig · **Reply #52 on:** August 18, 2005, 01:34:23 am

Yes, we want commercial critiques and challenges to return on a normal schedule. We're hoping there's an abundance of creativity in the reps so that we are booked with activities weeks in advance

robalan · **Reply #53 on:** August 18, 2005, 02:47:33 am

I'd love to help out, but I don't think I'll run in this particular election, since I'm about to start my freshman year of college. Keep me in mind for the next round, though: I have every intent to run once I get settled in to my schedule at school. However, despite my business, I will take lief's stance that I am always here to help, whether or not I have an official position.

Good luck to all those running this time, and lets see some more people come out. An election is no fun when there is no competition. Competition brings out the best (and worst) in all those competing. It is these best and worst attributes that we want to see before voting.

David · **Reply #54 on:** August 18, 2005, 03:01:45 am

I would run, but I ruin boards, crush people's ambitions, and act like my shit doesn't stink.

Darien · **Reply #55 on:** August 18, 2005, 04:08:14 am

I'm in the same boat as robalan. I'm starting school in a week and I have no idea how much time I'll have to devote to this, so that's why I'm not running. I may in the future, though...

beh, I dont really know where to post but here will work just as fine.

Iv been reading all the campaign things and all I have seen is challenges. I dont feel like running myself at the moment fer some reason... but I do have one suggestion to someone who is.

make some commercial critiques. For those unfamiliar with that, its where you breakdown and analyze a real game. Id be sure to participate. Hell ill start one if noone else does.

just thought id add that little tid-bit fer whomever cares because i find them important and productive and I bet im not alone

Peppermint Pig · **Reply #67 on:** August 23, 2005, 10:52:24 am

Two days before the election. I'm really excited. Some of the mods are not going to vote. I'm trying to be impartial myself, though I do have some leanings based on the questions I have asked. As of this moment, I'm very undecided. Whoever I could vote for, I'm left disappointing two candidates!!

It's a nice running: we don't have a dozen people running with even less distinguishable platforms. Mysterious candidate X hasn't shown up or anything, so things are at least predictable for some people in that sense.

To get the rom, scroll down a bit, click on Download, go to the demo section, and download that.

You'll also want the documentation. It'll be in the download section, just click Documentation and download the one right at the top. It's a .pdf file.

My little sister got her copy for her birthday. I played it until I got bored. Then I cheated my way out of debt and filled my character's house with old nes games. Now it's a lot more fun, since all my character does is sit in his nintendo-memorabilia-themed house and play videogames.

Whatever gripes I ever had against the game, though, are irrelevant. I adore the music. I find it beautiful and inspiring.

Hey, peppy, can you post some links to that alien3 screen capture that you redid in pixelly goodness? I think I remember you had some WIP shots, so if you could also post those too.

Also, have you got a website with all your art on it? I guess I arrived at pixelation a little late or something, as I haven't really seen much of your pixels, and yet I keep reading in so many posts how you're such a pixelling great. It's very frustrating to keep seeing those posts, and not be able to see all the cool things you've done over the past couple of years.

Yes, and yes. I will get those online soon.

Half a year ago, I could have pointed you to a site with all of my art on it. Right now I'm rebuilding. Soon it will be ready!

Pixelation should look like that. That would be mighty hot.

Black and white scheme?? Yeah, I'd like that actually.. but it's harsh on the eyes

*remembers something* I might have a banner mockup I did for Pixelroots in black and white, I'll fish that out some time today.

Yeah, it would be bad on the eyes. Maybe a small border of that stuff around the whole forum, but the forum itself is still black and white.

It would have been a nice change of pace, as far as colors and design went. The main goal lately has been to move away from that strong dark coloring such as on Pixelation. The new Pix scheme we've planned is similar to the old one with the same familiar blues, but uses neutral post backgrounds so art isn't too hard to view, as well as the addition of more colors in softer/less saturant variations to add a little more sophistication. Anyways, too bad about Pixel Roots. Chiko did a great PRoots logo too...

Dumpster ninjas are the lowliest class of ninjas. Fear the highway ninja, for he is king!

GASP* Thats my dads hometown! Hallanpue! Not sure who the dude in their dumpsters is. I adopted a highway so does that mean I adopted the king ninja?

And now to post something completely off topic...

Does anybody else write palindromic poetry? Or even know what it is? Anyway, here's one I wrote a couple of days ago. Any thoughts/comments/critiques?

The only thing we have to fear
Is fear itself.

We have a Texan President
who says the terrorists are “out there”,
who will protect us
from the terrorists.

A message is sent,
warning
the terrorists:
a bomb is
headed your way.

A bomb is
the terrorists’
warning.
A message is sent
from the terrorists.
Who will protect us?

Who says the terrorists are “out there”?
We have a Texan president.
Is fear itself
the only thing we have to fear?

In case you didn't notice, the reason this is called "palindromic" poetry is that the lines read the same forward and backward. So yeah.

I've got a case of the hives.. .

Damn you dust mites. : (

Has anyone else had this for more than 5 days?

Sawtooth · **Reply #104 on:** September 04, 2005, 04:05:07 am

I spent the first 15 years of my life in a 100+ year old farm house (pretty damn dusty), and I never got the hives. What sort of housing are you living in right now?
