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

Me again, watching and compiling, as always

All the copy is great guys, and I''m definitely enjoying the one-liners too

Well...*sigh* back to work now

Oh, and nope...sorry, "Matt''s mom" priviliges are kept solely for Landfish members...sorry

Thanks again!

LandFish : If you don''t like it, send it back in 30 days. Warning: some smelliness may occur during transit.

I''m wondering if these should be at least half serious?

It''s a FreakFish LandShow!

But for something I seriously mean:
The art of asking the right questions to get the wrong answers, and yet have a meaningful discussion.

I don''t think that it is ever necessarily meaningful... That is like saying that Philosophy actually affects the general public in ways other than to use them as signatures

Me again! Well, good ol'' Landfish is still MIA, but I''m keeping an eye on things in his absence. I''ve finally sat down and copied all these quotes out to a text file so I can see what we actually have, and I need a couple things from some of you before we can use your quotes.

So, if at all possible, can the following people post (or e-mail it to me if you don''t want to post it for privacy reasons...you can get me at Matthew_Allain@emerson.edu) this info? Thanks!

1) Real Name

2) Affiliation (if none, just say so...don''t worry, we won''t make you look like a loser)

And here''s the people I need these from:

Paul Cunningham
Voodoo4
MadKeithV
Staffan
Taharez

Thanks guys!!

Landfish is always thinking, I wonder if he ever sleeps ?
Anyway Landfish likes to provoke people to make them react and share ideas, just like me

Landfish have many good or even great ideas, but I''m unsure of what he did with them...

Thanks guys, We''re going to keep tabs on this thread, and keep grabbing quotes from it as the website is developed, so feel free to keep ''em coming.

And yeah, dwarfsoft, I already had your info

Those were just people that I needed info for. Don''t get yourself in a tizzy!

Thanks,
