| Why don't you just let us post on the original thread? It would make it easier for us to follow the topic that you're discussing, rather than having to go between threads. | |

Well Gelo, I do this for organizational purposes, My entries go on one thread and I let people talk about the series on the other so it's easy to find the next episode when it comes out, rather than having to search through 2-3 pages of discussion (assuming this gets popular in the community[Disclaimer: Not being cocky]) to find the next entry, and so that the discussions won't get interrupted by a sudden entry. Besides, in case of mass confusion, total chaos and possible anarchy in the future, I will announce the new entry here, along with the basics of what i'm saying in the entry (much like a teaser trailer for a film or that small info on a buyers guide) of course, if this gets too out of hand, I'll experiment with other ways for people to keep in touch with both the Series and discussion. but for now, just think of Terwynd's Topic's as an RP, theres the thread for the Role-playing, and theres a thread for Out of Character. | |

| That scams of the internet huh? I could say that I am somewhere between the guy who wants security, and the guy who doesn't care. I am have been out of virus protection for almost 9 months now, and nothing has happend to me. I plan on renewing my security soon though but my dad is to lazy and doesn't really care about it. But still, i don't think much people whould click or do those things, As you pointed out, all the facts of that is was a scammer was very clear, and i or any of who i knew, would never click that. If you clicked it, you would be very foolish. Probably a person who doesn't take risks. I don't really know how to critisce this. It was all very clear. Even to clear! It almost sounded so clear if was almost facts, which then i mean that those facts was so clear that it almost sounded funny when you pointed it out because probably everyone would realize it. So anyway, i have ey new request for you, Terwynd; WARPlease do it, it would be very fun to see what you have to write about it. | |

| My ideas on internet scams: I am indifferent. I really only use my computer for what I need it for, which usually doesn't involve any scams. I use my laptop for GAC, checking comments on Spore, and doing school work. I use my Spore computer for Spore and for GAC, and that's it. So no scams are involved in my life.
Also, I think that you should at least post a copy of the discussion topic from the original thread so it's easier to respond to. | |

When you post the topic on the official topic thread (the one we're not supposed to post on) just copy it and paste it here so we can reference it more easily in our responses. | |

| Ok, I shall try that. Thx Gelo! *EDIT* heres episode 2: - Spoiler:
Episode II:
The Clone Spam Wars
.......Hello, and welcome to Terwynd's Topics. Now, I've wanted to do this topic ever since I started the first episode, yet I felt a tad reluctant to do so, as now I feel like I'm feeding the troll. Which troll you ask? Well, I'll tell you. The GAC user PwntYou. You all know him. You all hate him. You all hate how people reacted to him. Now, you'll hate me for revie- ...Wait, what? *sigh* anyway, Here's the Game Plan:
The Game Plan 1: Write an awesomesauce Intro- DONE 2: Introduce and test the new "Game Plan" feature-DONE 3: Give the facts, History, and minor info. 4: State my general opinion. 5: Add some humor to the end for comic relief.
.......So, now that that's over, sit back, relax, and read. (Drainkin, lock all the doors and windows.)
.......History and facts: Well, this all started when someone started an account called PwntYou and posted a reply to a post consisting solely of this picture: http://knowyourmeme.com/system/icons/346/original/969638-cool_story__bro_super.jpg?1244744838
Much later, he made a quite profane "Hi GAC" thread, consisting of the title "Hi Mother****ers", some trolling, and the phrase "Oh, and Nagho is a ***ho" He proceeded to troll and spam people to the point of a user making a thread about him named "MASSIVE SPAM INVASION MUST READ". This thread utterly disgusted me. All forums will experience spam at least once in their lifetime, there is absolutely NO REASON to act like it's the end of the world! When the whole fiasco was over, the troll made another thread thanking the GAC for all the fun, and for reacting to him the way we did. This thread was locked and archived shortly after.
.......My opinion: First of all, I'd like to thank Hutch for stepping up to the plate and executing some discipline for the actions caused by the community, as this whole fiasco is downright EMBARRASSING to us as a clan. The way we as a whole reacted to this showed PwntYou weakness, with that weakness in mind, we downright TOLD him, "Hey, if you troll and Spam on our forum, we'll feed your motives and never ignore you!" Now, for closing statements, I wish to say 3 things. First off, next time someone spams on this forum, IGNORE the troll, do NOT make a thread about him, and make sure all his posts are cleared from the thread immediately, not 1 day after he posts, or, knowing us, we will fuel his actions. Second, when something like this happens, it is both the admin's and the Moderator's job to stop the trolling, NOT YOU. Do not take matters into your own hands, or it WILL get worse. And third, I'm Terwynd, and this is Terwynd's topics, Venting rage since 2007.
THE END
Credits: Written and created by: Terwynd Inspired by: Too many people to credit Special Thanks to: mrbean5317 for the similar idea, Hutch for the great leadership actions, and PwntYou for giving me something to write about. (yeah, you heard me right.)
------------------------------------------ Message time! Today we have a letter from some guy called TROLOLO10101, and he writes, "Hey Terwynd, your precious series SUCKS" ... wha...? wuh, HUH? Why did he write that... OMGOMGOMG Y WOULD HE DO THAT?! OMG HE'S A TROLL! NOT A TROLL!! TROLL ALERT! TROLL ALERT! TROLL! TROLL! TROOOOOOLLL!!!! ALERT THE FORUM, ALERT THE COMMUNITY, ALERT THE GOVERNMENT, ALERT OBAMA, WE HAVE A TROLL IN OUR MIDST! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! *cries and hides in a box*

| My opinion about trolls and spam attacks: also indifferent. They're just a couple of babies who want to make people angry, like many of us like to do to older brothers every now and then. Ban the troll, and be done with it. When that guy came to our forum, I thought we did a pretty good job. Lots of people panicked, but that's their problem, not mine. The guy got banned and nobody died in the end. And now we're back to regular old GAC, so nothing went wrong in my opinion. If anything, that was a good experience, because now we're better prepared to ban people without hesitation.
That will be all. Thank you for listening. | |

He just wanted to keep his discussion topics organized. I didn't approve of it at first either, but I asked him to at least POST the discussion topic on this thread. So far, he's almost lived up to that. | |

| Ultimately, this is a no no on most fourms. I had put it up in a temporary set of rules. However, Hutch is not done with the official set of rules. If it happens to be against those rules when they come... this may be subject to a lock. | |

| Here's the newest topic: - Spoiler:
(DO NOT POST ON THIS THREAD, POST ON THE DISCUSSION THREAD)Terwynd's Topics Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Miffed .......Hello, and again, Welcome to Terwynd's Topics. After a long period of neglect to this series (and the forum itself), mostly due to School and other things, I have finally reached a window in which I can let loose and enjoy. What better way to do this than return to the GAC and do stuff. .......Now, This topic is mainly about the whole LOM fiasco and how some certain people decide to react to having their stuff downrated. Without further ado, let the topic begin. ........Facts and History: {Inaccuracy ahead} Apperantly, according to my sources, there was a user on Spore, creating away, when she decided to downrate everyone who bullied her online using mass accounts. This moved onto people questioning her motives. {Innacuracy end} Then came the DizzyBiz incident. This sparked outrage within the community, and caused many Anti-LOM groups and some LOM protection movements. In between all this, there came an anti-LOM group like never before. This one was dangerous. Although it is unsure WHAT this group's name is, everyone knows it exists. This group's apparent mission is to downrate anyone who stands up for LOM, including those who make any form of sympathy to her. Many people on Spore today are being ravaged by this war, even today. While LOM claims to have stopped - ExcaIibur wrote:
- This childishness
The anti LOM groups still persist to silence anyone who dare stand up for her no matter what happens, while Maxis sits back and does NOTHING to help, rather, focus on their Darkspore contests. .......My Opinion: Now this has got to be one of, if not THE most damaging thing that happened in the Spore community. Many people have been caught up in this whirlwind of hatred including the elite creators, and this fiasco has no signs of stopping anytime soon. Why this is happening? Well, I'll tell you the why it's gotten bad: THE OVERZEALOUS KIDS WHO STARTED THE RETALIATION EFFORT. I cannot stress how much confusion is in my head about why people retaliate against the downraters. If you get downrated, then you downrate the creations of the downrater, you are NO BETTER than the actual D-raters! If people didn't start retaliating against LOM in the first place, we wouldn't have hundreds, maybe thousands of people abandoning Spore and never returning! Don't get me wrong though, I am NOT standing up for LOM for what she did, but even when I was a downrate victim, I did not seek revenge, and later on, I forgave her for acting this way when she asked for forgiveness. A day AFTER I said that, BANG. Three people comment on my page, one of them ExcaIibur thanking me for the kind words, and two average creators expressing hate to me for forgiving quote: "that ****ing *****" After reporting the two and blocking both of them, I checked my creations, all 10 of my most recent ones were with an orange face. That’s right. This actually happened and has gone on for a week. This has gone on far enough. Maxis needs to just INTERVENE ALREADY. They’ve ignored the situation for too long, and the only way we can get this madness to stop is to rally the people of the community to stand up and send Maxis messages, and a whole lot of them. You might not think this will help matters by sending in only one message, but just think about it. If we get at least 300 people to E-Mail maxis about this fiasco, telling them to intervene, that’s 300 messages in Maxis’ inbox! Soon enough, Maxis will NO LONGER be able to ignore our messages. This will stop. With only 300 people on our side, We can show Maxis that we have problems too. Not just them. …….This has been Terwynd’s Topics. Have a nice day, and remember. We have the power to end a massive war, not just by ourselves, but as a group. Don’t ignore that power. See you next time! New Topics to come, good ones this time instead of all this stuff I've been talking about these last 3 episodes. Written, created, and scripted by: Terwynd Inspired by: Too many to credit Special thanks to Glasspinne with the WAR suggestion. Hey, it IS a war, isn’t it? -------------------------------------------------------------------- ALRIGHT MEN, TONIGHT IS WHEN WE MAKE A REVELOUTION, WE WILL HAVE FREEDOM! TONIGHT, WE WILL NO LONGER BE HAUNTED WITH THE FEAR OF DOWNRATES... TONIGHT, WE DINE IN H- *the army is mass banned for spamming the inbox* *stares* Wha- I- guh-huh-wha-he-Maxi-ba-wha? *sigh* Madness I tell you. | |

| In response to the most recent topic: Dude, calm down. It's just a small quarrel between a couple of n00bs. If you're not part of it, then there's no reason for you to get involved. If you are being affected by it, then there's still no reason to get involved. When it comes down to it, Spore is just a game, and a few downrates doesn't affect the quality of your creations. | |

| Here's that Game Review I promised: - Spoiler:
(Dead sorry for this being late, this took longer to review than I thought. :P)
Terwynd's Topics: Game Review 1: Super Mario World
(Since Gelatino95 was the only one who voted, I've chosen to review Super Mario World first!
.......Ah, Super Mario World. This was quite possibly the first game I've ever played, and may very well be the reason I play video games to this day; It pulled off something great, which is what I'm going to review in this episode. I will rate games as follows:
Gameplay: (What is the game's purpose? Is it fun? [THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO A GAME]) 50% Playability: (is the difficulty just right? How glitchy is the game?) 15% Replay value: (How long can you play this game until it gets old? How good is the multiplayer[if applicable]?) 15% Game Depth: (Is the game and it's story long and well made or a short game made without any effort?) 10% Sound: (Does the Music and Sound effects reward or annoy you?) 5% Rewarding Experience?: (What did you get out of the game OTHER than entertainment? What did you learn out of the experience? Example: After playing Assassin's Creed 2, I got interested in learning about the Renaissance and events that happened in 15th century Italy.) 5%
Rating scores are as follows:
Zero: E.T 1-9: Horrendous 10s: Terrible 20s: Bad 30s: Mediocre 40s: Flawed 50s: Fair 60s: Average 70s: Good 80s: Great 90s: Awesome 100: Top of the Line
So, Without further ado, LET THE RATING BEGIN.
.......Gameplay: Super Mario World is a 2D platformer, so generally, you'd want to have gameplay that makes you test your reflexes and reaction time. Super Mario World does this. There are some levels that make you use moving platforms to progress through the level while dodging flying Koopas (turtle minions) and FRIGGIN CHAINSAWS, which was fun! Mario, the hero of this tale, has just 3 abilities: Running, jumping, and Pile-driver jumping, so, you'll need some powerups if you wish to get into the RIGHT castle this time. There are only around 7 powerups in the game, which is USUALLY a bad thing, but SMW puts these powerups to great use and importance. The Super Mushroom makes you grow (hear that kids?) and makes you survive one hit before you die. The Fire Flower lets you toss bouncing fireballs of doom. The Feather gives you a cape, which lets you fly and become a human tornado, knocking any foe out of the way. The Green Shroom gives you an extra life, the rare, elusive Moon gives you THREE. The Star makes you go rainbow colors while playing a catchy tune (DE DE DEN DE DE-DE DE-DE-DE...) and makes anyone that touches you die from your awesomeness for a few seconds. Finally, Yoshi lets you eat things, enemies and berries alike. there are 8 worlds to travel through, two hidden zones, and 8 boss battles, all of which are quite fun. Super Mario World pulled it's gameplay value off greatly.
.......Playability: As a kid, I had mild difficulty playing through the first 4 zones. Then came the Forest Zone. I had NO CLUE what to do at that moment. I've completed all the levels there, but in the end, all that was there was one big path set in a loop. After a while, I gave up and quit playing ol SMW for a while, then when I was 11, I found out how to beat it. You have to find a key and carry it to its lock in one of the levels! If anyone has had this difficulty as a kid as well, comment on the discussion thread, just so I know I'm not alone ;) as an 11 year old, I was able to beat Bowser after around 10-15 lives. No biggie for a final boss. But then I found the Star Zone. I couldn't pass all of the levels. it was HARD. Just 2 years ago though, I completed the Star zone and sighed in relief. Then another path appeared. A path to the Special Zone. Playing those 8 levels was the most fun I've ever experienced while playing this game. It presented a hard, long challenge, and gave me the feeling that I've mastered the game. Why I told you this life story? Difficulty and replay value. Kids find the game mildly hard at the start, then it's TOO hard at a point, which is good and bad in a sense, when they're older and return to it, they can complete it after 5-7 game overs, and when they're my age, they've mastered every part of the game. No more difficulty. Like I said before, this is good and bad at the same time. You should have at least SOME difficulty even after you've mastered it in my opinion, but since this is an old game, I'll let it slide through this time.
.......Replay Value: See above for how long you can play it. The 2-player mode for this was flawed, as you couldn't play at the same time as your buddy. You have to wait your turn, and if you suck at the game and your buddy is Super Skilled, you'll have to wait quite a while for only 1 minute of gameplay. Other games in and before this era of games had the option to play simultaneously, why not this game? needless to say, 2 player is quite flawed, as no one wants to wait for their turn.
.......Game Depth: I can't really rate this game on this. Mainly because it's an old 2D game (BA DUM CHH) But it's story is short and simple, which isn't bad in certain cases. You, a plumber, have to fight through 8 dragons to save a princess you've already saved 2 times in previous games, and have to do it by going through 8 different lands to do so, fighting one of Bowser's kids at the end of every one. Like I said, short, simple, get's the point across good!
.......Sound: CLASSIC. From the Steel Drums and "whooing, poot, and PWOEE PWOO" sounds of the overworld to the hectic music, the "Click, OO BOUM" and death music while fighting bowser, you're in for a trip down Vaudeville!
.......Rewarding experience?: Yes, this game enhances your imagination and gives you happy thoughts. Nuff said.
Gameplay: 47/50 Playability: 13/15 Replay Value: 8/15 (2/7 multiplayer 6/8 Replay value) Game Depth: 7/10 Sound: 5/5 Rewarding experience? Yes. 5/5
85/100
This has been a Terwynd's Topics Review.
:EDIT: Oh, and Gelo, you're right about that whole LOM war. This whole thing just got my hackles up. | |

| Your review was AWESOME. The only problem was that you were a little too afraid to give perfect scores in some categories that deserved them... but that's a common mistake. And about the Forest of Illusion, you're supposed to know that the red levels have two exits. So in that world, you have to get both exits to get through.
But overall... that game ROCKS. I grew up playing that game and it now has sentimental value to me. Actually, I got the GBA version of it, not the SNES, but the differences between the two are very minor. Just a few small graphics changes and sound effects. But the biggest value point to that game is that you only need to do half of the things in the game to beat it. Pretty much the other half of the game is just secrets that make the game 200 times better. Finding all of those secrets is possibly the most rewarding experience you'll ever have in your life. And yes, I have beaten everything, from star road to the Special zone. For anyone who doesn't have this game, I have some advice... GET IT NOW. If you don't own a SNES, then get one for the GBA. They probably still sell them at Wal Mart. | |

| @Drew980 Gameplay is how well the game pulls off the genre it portrays, and the main aspects, a.e, if powerups are useful, overpowered, or barely do anything in their respective senses, and how well the game itself made in total.
Playability is whether or not the game is playable. If there is too many bugs in the game or if the controls are awkwardly made, then the game fails this criteria.
Sometimes you get a game that has monsters 4 times your level in a beginner zone, but has a perfect control scheme. Likewise, you can have a good action RPG, but sometimes they have the right control stick as the attack button instead of just using the X button, and having an automatic camera that decides that a weak soldier is just as deadly as a 20 foot tall cyborg that shoots missiles out of it's mouth.

| New topic ahoy: - Spoiler:
E PISODE IV: Deals With Devils
(Yes, I've run out of Star wars names, DONT JUDGE ME!)
.......Hello guys! Before I start this topic off, I'd like to give a huge shout out to everyone who reads these entries, especially to Gelatino95. Thank you all for reading, critiquing and supporting the series up to it's fourth episode. I highly appreciate what you all have done. But, to you who read the entries but don't post on the discussion thread about how I did, suggesting a topic for me to do, or critiquing an entry, please, by all means DO that! I've realized that ol Gelo is the only one who steps up, reviews and truly cares about my series, yet, I know that a handful of people do read my entries, due to chats on the box. So, I'll put this pre-episode message briefly:
Your voice aids the series. Simply looking at the entry and not commenting on how I did or your opinion on the topic I've established doesn't help as much as actively supporting the series. as far as I know, Gelo is the only pillar this series is supported by, and one pillar isn't going to be strong enough to support the weight of the topics and the work I've put into them. In the inevitable future, if I see that no one seems to care about Terwynd's Topics, I may very well need to close down this mini-blog down for good. I've put a lot of work into giving you something to read, so, all I ask for you is to care. Support me, and I will give you eternal thanks, and more interesting things to read! This series is heavily based on what you guys want to hear, and quite frankly, over the past month, I've noticed a wave of silence. So please. All I ask of you is to discuss, review, critique and support my series. these are all simple actions that mean A LOT. Thank you for listening, and, without further ado... LET THE TOPIC BEGIN.
.......Ok, this topic is going to be about a real-life issue, but actually... It also affects the game world as well! So sit back down, you right there in the 7th seat to the right in the 4th row. Yeah I'm talking to you, sit back down and listen to this, this is good stuff. The topic today is about Gambling. Yep, THAT gambling. The only thing where you can get nothing for something, and how it's affecting our world of games. So, sit down and listen. The topic begins right now.
.......Ok, so, Gambling has been around longer than civilization has. It's the act of betting an item of value for a random chance to win a greater item of value. You see this being done every day now, this shouldn't be alien to you. Even the simple act of sending your army of Imperial Soldiers to attack a Rebel Base to attempt to capture it could be considered gambling; you either win big, or lose everything, all in a quick turn of events. Picture yourself as the commander of this Imperial Army: You don't know what awaits your army at the Rebel base, you could be fighting against a small squad of troops and only suffer minimal losses with your AT-ATs backing you up, but the Rebel Alliance might have a powerful military force awaiting your mid-sized army, and more war machines and starships than you have attacking the base. You are crossing your fingers as your AT-AT slowly climbs a hill blocking your view of the Rebel base, and you know you could very well lose your entire military force in one fell swoop, but in the slight possibility of a small force awaiting you, you press on as your AT-AT finally climbs the hill and you see the rebel base along with it's defending forces...
.......This is scary when you think about it. over 2 million people around the world right now are at a Casino as you're reading this. Some of them are betting everything they have to win, even just once. While this possibility of winning is very convincing, and downright compelling to reach, but, it is a very slim chance. On the other side, if you win, you truely WIN. There is nothing better in the world right then and there if you win the big prize! I know this feeling all too well. When you've won that 1 million dollars, you feel like the luckiest person in the world, you feel like God smiled upon you that day. You feel as if this was the most important moment of your life! Then what do you do with that million? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU DO! YOU... (get ready!) waste it all on other bets throughout that night. Did I get'cha? I hope I did anyway. How this affects your gaming life you may ask? Well, have you ever played a poker game with other people? the chances are slim, but if you win, you get the chips. (both the plastic ones and the snack variety.) - Heavy wrote:

.......Ok, ok, fine. How gambling affects gameplay? Well, gambling affects your gameplay by giving you a sense of excitement and suspense while playing. Also, in casino-esque games like Poker Night at the Inventory, Gambling gives people of adult age something to relate to rather than them just having a FPS which they cannot relate to at all. However, Gambling can start to get out of hand with the whole "Real Cash Bets" Games out there, and, quite frankly, gambling is getting to be overused nowadays. Every game you see out there today has either a Gambling element in them, or a gambling Mini-game inside of it. In total, Gambling is an element that I fully agree should be used in games, but, just don't exploit it too much. Seriously, most of those "Real Cash Bets" games out there are either corrupt or rigged. Usually it's both. SO, This has been a Terwynd Topic, and this has been Terwynd, signing off.
CREDITS: Written and created by: Terwynd Inspired by: OK FINE. Extra Credits, Yatzee's Zero Punctuation, and others who I've forgotten. :P Special thanks to: Gelatino95 for supporting this series, and being an overall good pal, and you for reading this entry!

I'm acually not too sure what the topic is talking about. Could you give me a brief explaination about it? D: I'll admit, I DID do a sloppy work on the topic (hey It's like 10:30 here gimme a break!) I'm stating how Gambling affects both the world we live in and the Video Game World, and how Gambling, when used, affects games both positively and negatively. | |

| Ah.
Well, I guess that Video Game gambling would be safer to play than acual gambling, because even if you loose all your "money" It doesn't matter either way.
(Unless you're playing on an online casino or something where you DO use real money, which is quite dumb really.) | |

| Thank you for mentioning me in your topic. I feel flattered, and it doesn't have to do with that burrito I ate earlier. (lolwut?) Anyways, if you want your topics to be seen more, post them on the Sporum.
As for gambling, I think it's crazy. Most of the time, the odds are against you. Why would you bet some of your money on something that involves chance and does not let you make a decision about what will happen to it? Some people think it's thrilling, having the surprise of finding out what happens. I think they're crazy. Go get a thrill at an amusement park instead, it probably won't cost you as much as sitting at a casino for the same amount of time. Gambling in a video game that uses virtual currency or possessions is perfectly fine. | |
