Cactus Game Design Message Boards

Welcome aboard the USS cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards! I'm your Yeoman Purser, Tim.

What you shouldn't do: Make pointless, derogatory, offensive, or Swahili posts. Unless they're funny.

Who likes to argue: Far too many of us.

Who likes chess: A surprising amount. There's been some recent talk, and a Chess feature was recently added to the boards. I haven't closely followed the chess talk, but I believe NotOfThisWorld and Egyptian enjoy games.

What those stars are for: They represent how many posts you have (unless they're big shiny stars, in which case they indicate a moderator/administrator). Don't worry about making a lot of posts just to get more stars. You'll be much more respected for fewer thoughtful posts than a lot of pointless posts.

How you can get your own picture: Click the "Profile" button on top and go to the Forum Profile Information section. There you can choose a predefined avatar, or link to one you've uploaded elsewhere (like on PhotoBucket).

Give you tips: Don't eat the gazpacho.

Welcome, hope ya have fun.

What about Dutch?

Welcome, sir, to these beautiful boards!

Greetings, I am the Spy. (I have been slowly returning to the boards after an "eventful" spring.)

Who likes to argue:  The person who seems to enjoy inciting arguments most is Colin, and the person who is most often the sucker who lets himself get dragged into them is me.  The person to avoid arguing with at almost all costs is Schaef.  And yes, I would consider both Colin and Schaef friends

I think you are forgetting someone... *shuffles feet* Yes, I love to debate formally, but I try my best to choose my battles and avoid flame wars. If you love to debate, then PM me and we shall chat.

In regards to what you should not do here, I agree with Prof Underwood. Do your best to be civil because no matter how much division there is in our various political views, we are all ultimately striving to glorify God in the end. If what you post is unkind or ultimately ungodly, then I would beg that you do not post your comment. However, anything else is fair game and encouraged on these boards.

With that said, welcome to these boards.

~The Spy
P.S. I suppose that settles it, since I seem to be cursed. It appears that people hate to comment after I post on a thread and I tend to get the last word when I least wish for it. (See the text below my avatar picture.)

Edit: Heheh... thanks, No More Sorrow!

Welcome. Go check out the sticked RTS and Hamchi threads in "online play" to get playing all of us and improving your game.

Don't: make unsupported or unrelated comments like "Jesus loves us all" when there is a really good debate going on. 

Who likes to argue: You forgot me?!  I am always good for a debate, and me and the Spy have had several great ones on hamachi.

Who likes chess: Who doesn't!?

What are the stars for: How many accounts each of us have successfully hacked. If you see a "guest" posting, that means one of us (probably a ninja  ) successfully hacked their late account. Basically, you get respect and street cred the more stars you get. If you hack someone twice (they make another account and you destroy that one too), you get to be either an administrator or a moderator. "Cactus Rob" is not Rob Anderson like most people think, it's actually someone who hacked the same person 10 times. Needless to say, he got the highest title of "Cactus Rob."

How to get your own picture: Be original. Don't get one. 

Who likes to argue: You forgot me?!  Wink I am always good for a debate, and me and the Spy have had several great ones on hamachi.

I think we need a Hamachi room for debate so it can involve more than 2 people.......  Problem Solved!
