Ah, I see...

I'll see what I can to do fix it, but I don't have access to the ftp right now.  :cry:

for now, try right click -> block image?

shit.
I haven't forgotten about the ftp, i just don't have access/time at the moment, trip should still have the details for the ftp if you want to get it from him.

Now that I have the shiny ftp info, I've made some changes over at the Adventure Wiki. Go check it out!


  • New logo in the top left
  • Nav bar on left has been updated
  • When you create a new page, now there's a box which reminds you of the guidelines

I've also begun advertising - like over at 23ae.com. PLEASE help out and push this idea into different corners of the web!


Here's some code you can paste:

HTML CODE:

You are slumbering blissfully, dreaming of things that were, things that are, things that will be, and things that never will be. Your fantasy slides gently from the normal into the unbelievable, then pirouetting back into normality as dreams are wont to do.

A perfectly boring fourth-grade math lesson is disrupted by your teacher's transformation into a clown, who proceeds to blast the classroom full of marshmallows with his rainbow-colored rifle. Your friend Danny gobbles up the candy with uncanny speed, then finally swallows the clown. Danny explodes in a puff of pink smoke, and through the wisps you see your teacher once again.

After class you find yourself flying with your friend Danny, soaring through the sky on leathery wings, on your way towards Dinzyworld... What a summer it will be! You make a broad loop through a cloud, singing with joy, when suddenly...

<big>BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ</big>


You are woken up by the buzzing of an alarm clock. You open your eyes and blink in the morning light streaming in from your window, the dreamy haze quickly dissipating into oblivion. You're still very tired...

<ul>
<li>To hit the snooze button, go to <a href="http://www.principiadiscordia.com/Adventure/index.php?title=Page_2">Page 2</a>... "Just another ten minutes, mom...."
<li>To get up and jump out of bed, go to <a href="http://www.principiadiscordia.com/Adventure/index.php?title=Page_3">Page 3</a>... "Let's get this day started RIGHT!"
</ul>

Ok, I had been trying to think thing through and did some work today.  I posted a new page 21, and new page 36.  I did a halfassed tie in with page 29.  I am also working on page 42 trying to make an actual WIN.  Unless we want all missions to fail, which would be pretty funny.

Please review and change as needed. 

To get there start at page one, then to page 5.

Voodoo

and page 67.

please help add artwork to page 42.

Can anyone think of ways to promote this project? We want a lot of people stopping by, what's a good way to encourage that?

the way you did, in the PICs thread seems like an excellent idea.

also,

i'll pass the link on to my friends etc.

maybe spam it on a fiction writers forum or i dunno, people who'd be interested in both reading and participating?

funny thing,
I spent most of yesterday trying to promote CYOM, including writers.net, where I was flamed for spamming.  :mrgreen:

AFK

I posted it on 3 forums:

One devoted to My Dying Bride fans
One a political debate forum
and
the SJGames forums. 

The MDB cats will be cool with it and participate.
I think the political folks will be cool with it too.
If anyone censors it or deletes it, it will be SJG.

LMNO

That is fucking perfect.

And they say that PD.com is full of asshats.

Hey Cram,

Are you looking for more contributors? 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

Cramulus

yes, definitely!

and thanx much for spreading the Good Word

AFK

No Prob.  I see a couple of nibbles so far.  Hopefully it translates into writers and readers.

I went back and ran through a bunch of different CYO's and have been really pleased by the contributions!  This thing has taken off!

I nobody more qualified volunteers for the gfx, I'll do them, but I'm totally out of practice and was never more than an amateur, and mediocre at that. Still, I *can* do those things, and make it look okay. It just won't look as good as some of the artists here could make it.

Not meaning to step on any toes here, but if anyone has any artistic or shooping requests please don't hesitate to email me (i think the address is in my profile page).
        ...even if you have just made something but want it polished a little, need help with something.

I'm an artist and illustrator for a living and whenever I'm not too busy (or just gotten bored with) real, paying work I'm always looking for something else to work on.

A mind well fucked is a calm one.
     COBRAS! COBRAS!!

7RY57, looking at your other work, i think every page on that wiki that you think you can create a nice image for is a request for artistic or shooping request, be bold ;-)
also, i think you could go (less detailed) quantity over (fully worked-out) quality here?

and a spamming report: i spammed about 1/4th of my MSN contact list with CYOM yesterday (just those that i regularly speak to and thought would be interested), i got a few positive replies, and i directed one guy that was interested to the community homepage to try and get him more into it: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g213/05136/fd1e3fc3.jpg
i also posted it to the mailinglist of my old students club (~200 members), got one positive reply, which i will take as a hint to post the community homepage link as well :)
