Cutstuff Discussion and Feedback / MM8BDM Community Disscussion: Problems and Solutions

« on: November 20, 2013, 02:12:11 AM »

After the first 55 minutes of what I can only describe as "the absolute worst" in our community's player base, we were able to actually make headway with the discussion.

Basically, here's what we were able to work out.


Our community is dying. And for three reasons.

#1. Our community majority player-base is made up of selfish,  jaded users, who will resist change of any kind. They refuse to take anything seriously, and seek to discredit anyone and anything that shows direct opposition to what they believe is correct.

#2 Our game-modes, and the choices and popularization of said choices of servers hosted with them, have gotten to the point it has made the base-game itself stale and uninteresting.

#3 The people who know that it's a problem refuse to do anything to change it, because they believe it is inevitable, and those who don't know can't figure out why it is, because every-time we try to discuss it, people destroy the debate and discussion before it can even start.


Now that we understand those are the underlying problems causing our death, we need to think of ways to stop it from happening, and then we need to act on them.


I know it won't stop them from doing it, but for those you who decided to be fully against either because of me backing it, disagreeing with my opinions, views, and ideas of how to solve the problem, I beg you not post here for the sake of bringing it down.

If you find yourself compelled to post negatively, please let it be constructive.

MM8BDM Discussion / Ask A Player: The MM8BDM General Chat

« on: June 26, 2011, 09:50:46 PM »

Due to the amount of Faild trolling, I requested Ivory to handle the situation, since the mod on at the time believed he was not obligated to handle it.
Due to this, an error needed the Thread to be brought back up.
The thread will now be brought back to the question asked by Myroc. ~Ran

@Everyone: Why do you all have to troll my cousin when you doesn't know he doesn't care? ~Harly.

Oh hey, mind if I steal this thread for a wee bit to ask a thing?

Why does everyone avoid DM like the plague? Furthermore, why on earth do they do so in favor for things such as freaking rage robo?

There's two answers to this question. There's the logical answer, and then the real answer.

Logical Answer:

People tend to want to play together in a environment that would promote a high outlook of fun.

Real answer:

The majority of the 8BDM Community gather into a chat that is overseen officially by ThatGuy74, but is populated by people like YD, BlueBrawl, Bikdark , etc. There is also MAAAAAAANY other ones I do, and not not know of, but the majority of trolling happens in this chat. They make it a daily ritual to attempt to embarrass people by doing something in a server, and then running back into the chat and talking about it, like the person/people in question at the time don't know.

I have days and days of logs that prove both theories; Even some while CaucasianSwag walked among us. Shoot, I baited Yellow Devil Today while he was posing as CaptianAmerica and purposely lost a Drillman Match, and watched him do this. Many people joined in to talk about how I rage when I lose, while I laughed at it, and recorded it to help my thesis in my Psychology class. And all this while eating leftover cake. :T

This time, let's not make TrollingDrama8BitTheater in here. Mod or Not.

Skins & Bots etc / [Music] The YouTube&More 8-Bit* Music Store

« on: June 16, 2011, 11:25:15 PM »

While making my maps for the HiFn MainStream, I have been looking on internet resources for tracks I know and love in 8-Bit Format. The majority of these are Remixes from the original versions, and it will only give the link for the Remixs and the author's main site. If you wish to find the originals, I suggest Google. 'Tis Powerful.

This will be an on-going project of mine, one I'll be tackling alone in finding music that can be used in MM8BDM. While the music that has been created is not mine, I do take credit in finding them, and the credit for looping them goes to ThatGuy74.

MM8BDM Discussion / Hosting With Flair: Hosting Knowhow

« on: June 11, 2011, 03:59:32 AM »

Howdy, guise. I believe we're all familiar with each other now, so let's be on with it, eh?

We all are impressed when the host of the server is entertaining a large crowd. Even more so when they can do things like server events.

15 minutes of fame for Messatsu, Go! (Jk, I bromance you. :3)

Now, if only Skulltag's "Usually" useful wiki wasn't f*#$ing useless with the 404'ing, we'd know how to do these amazing things as well, right?

Therefore, my smart* brain thought of this: A Thread where we could share command consoling/binding at its best, and a place where coders** can show us how we*** can employ such magic for ourselves!

Starting with: How to "give" players in a game a rune/sphere/wep, without having cheats enabled from the get go, and what all the lines mean?

W.I.P Forum / [Maps] The HiFN Mainstream Map Pack [8/14/11]

« on: January 13, 2011, 11:58:48 PM »

Since the overall overly large 20032x20032 large map was scrapped by me due to how large the map had become, I have separated the map from its whole into a new list of Maps designed with Duel in mind, but adaptable for All Modes; Including Rage Roboneza w/(o) Classes, and Duel w/(o) Classes.

This Project's point is to complement the Map-Line up with more balanced maps for all modes. It will also be a way to replace maps of places that have become bland and uninteresting, due to many of any one factors that recur.

The majority of all work on this map can be credited to me, with the exception of the following people that have helped with an aspect of one of more factors:

(click to show/hide)

Design and Concept
Music Loops
Weapon Creation & Flow
Coding
Playtesting
Bug-Crushing, Hosting, and Feedback. (Detailed Feedback)

To this point, I accredit these following people that I can remember at this moment that have helped.

(click to show/hide)

Messatsu(TheLagless): For Helping me countless times than I can remember.
OrangeMario/Latios(?): For giving detailed information on what to fix in the newly re-vamped Cossack Intergalatic Pathway.
ThatGuy: For Supplying Music for the HiFN_MS_V1A, and for testing HIFN01.
Lio: I promised TG something for contributing. He wanted your Scorpion Weapon. And I like it.
King Yamato: For showing me some key defaulting game-flow issues of HIFN01.
Ivory:For Helping test and critique HIFN01, and submitting HIFN10.
SickSadWorld:For creating the Energy Balancer. >:3
JackCorvus: For submitting HIFN08 and 09. Which are both wondrously made.

To Date, These are the Maps Currently inside of HiFN_DM_V1A

All zones will be prefixed with HIFNXX and will go along this number system.
01- Cossack's Intergalactic Pathway 100%
02- The City Limits  35%

MM8BDM Discussion / Sir -'s EC Servers [Rules & Events]

« on: May 04, 2011, 11:46:52 PM »

All right. Time to get this back in focus. Again

I've noticed there's much too many tournaments going on. So, screw a tournament idea for now Ever. If It'll happen with me hosting it, It wont be in this thread. :/

In the meantime, I'll be setting up a never-ending poll of challenges that I'm currently thinking of the descriptions for.
If a few of the results stand out, I'll adopt the name, and begin staging what they'll be for. drawing out the Medal Awards for the Winners. * Edit *
ALSO. Keep up with my Editing Thread. It's important you read it.

*RULES OF THE - *

(click to show/hide)

#1- Don't be a Troll. (That means you, _______.)
#2 - Only Servers with game modes other than Terminator and Duel will have voting enabled. If you want the map changed, see me/the RCON.
#3 - Don't try and guess my RCON. I will ban you.
#4 - Any RCON who knows my Password must not ever pass it out. I will remove and ban you. And never trust you again.
#5 - Anyone that attempts to get ban-evasion by asking me/RCON's to remove them will first have to convince me of why I should.
#6 - There is not and never will be " I AM THE LAW " Kicks, or kicks done by me just because you annoy me/other players. There's the F8/Ignore Commands for a reason. Use 'em.

Any other rules that people may wish to amend into the rules will have to be voted on in here.
Also, I have changed my RCON Password. If you were once an RCON, contact me about it, or I may go contact you to tell you in case.

If any of you need to get in contact with me, add me on Skype or Window Live Messenger at:

Skype:mizza_randemz
WindowLiveMSN:etp4life@hotmail.com

If you are in dire urgency to see me, I will respond faster there than if you went probing the fourms/Servers looking for me.
*EDIT* 7/16/11
As to my work of the HiFn_MS, YT8B&M, and my involvement in the Duel Tournament, I have a full plate. :T Please do not overload me.
