Copy Please?

Landfish · 2000-08-28T18:17:41

I have a favor that I would like to ask of our design forum regulars. I know I''m the first to denounce those guys who post Help Wanteds in the Design Forum, but if I put this anywhere else, it won''t get seen by the people I need. As many of you know, the website of my group, Landfish.com, has been in development for as long as I''ve been coming to GDNet. We''ve designed it four times, and scrapped four designs, losing months of work in the process. We want to get it JUST right. In the end, we want the website to be more than just another gamedeveloper''s website. We want people to be able to go there to rant about stuff, to share ideas, to get involved. Or to denounce me on my home turf, fine whatever... But our latest (and greatest) design includes copy, or testaments from various people about how cool we are. But we don''t have any copy. So I want to get some from you guys at GDNet, under whatever professional names you go by. Now, I''m not asking anyone to be dishonest and say that we''ve made great games or anything; we haven''t. But the premise for the website is ideas. My team is freakin full of ideas... very different ideas. You''ve seen alot of that through me on this very site. Can you guys just reply here with what you think of the posts I''ve made and the ideas I''ve shared/taken from all all of you (and give me permission to quote you on a website with your real name and company title?) Try to make it sound like a review for a movie or something. This might be viewed by venture capital, so keep it serious (kinda...) Thank you in advance to anyone who does. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. I really need this to make the site work. ====== "The unexamined life is not worth living." -Socrates "Question everything. Especially Landfish." -Matt

"Landfish shaped my life!"

or

"Landfish helped me lose 20 pounds a week! Thanx Landfish

"

hehe or:

"Landfish - Better than sex... Sometimes" Disclaimer: I do not actually believe this!

"Landfish! More fish for your land!"

"Landfish! Now you can fish from the comfort of your own backyard!"

"Landfish is more like a God than a man" (*dons flameproof jacket*)

Ummm... I think that is enough for tonight

DwarfSoft: The day you run out ideas, I''ll start wearing a helmet, as the sky is sure to fall.

Hmm, how about "The father of the quest for equality for all Goblins"?

No, didn''t think so

"Landfish - creativity, knowledge and genius put in the mixer."

It's me again!

How about "Landfish - Think outside the lake you swim in." - taken from Freedom Furniture advert here "Freedom - Think outside the square you live in"... I like it

But I am relly just aiding my post counter..

How about "Landfish - we go where you don''t want to, TODAY!" - no prizes for guessing what that is from

But since that''s not really suitable for the copy you want, here you go:

"Landfish never ceases to amaze me with the amount of rhetoric they conceive... just when the answer seems to be within reach, Landfish is certain to point out the looming uncertainties and obstruent pitfalls"

yeah, you can use it...

ROFL!!!

(I love all those one liners)

Well, fro th few hundreds posts I have seen in the last weeks here, I can see at least one word : argumentative.
Yeah, he does talk a lot, annoy people with controversial ideas, starts threads that are just SO long and convoluted ... he tries to make us think, wonder, debate even ... on a forum ?! I dunno what all this is gonna become on the paper, as I dont know a lot of good philosophists that did anything good out of their brilliant ideas, but hey, I sure wanna be there when it happens !
Ah yeah, as well, this man seem to be on the path of canonisation, he already got the title (Saint Landfish), people even come to argue on his writings and try to interpret his thought and ideas ... I even saw a thread started on Burp he did ? I wonder when there will start to be a schism between pro and anti Landfish ...
And the question I have, what is the relation between Warren Spector, Landfish, and a horde of goblins ?

youpla :-P
(I guess I couldn't help make that lenghty
