  3. On Saturday, the creator should host the game in the appropriate place, and playtesters should come no later than 20 minutes after the scheduled testing time.
  4. Playtesters should then leave their comments in a post at this thread. Please leave descriptive comments so as to allow the creator to better polish his or her work.
  5. Only one nomination per week, please.
  6. Scenarios accepted will recieve a free advertisement in Post 1.


Rules

  • Testing will take place during the evening or night on Saturdays.
  • Any original multiplayer scenario, wether it was created by you or not, can be nominated for testing.

Yay! We're sticked again.

Just to start off this new thread, I'm hosting a contest for a new title banner. Read the topic post for further details.

Also, we will need a nomination for this week.

Does anyone know what the background color of the first post is (that beigeish color) in hexidecimal code? I could make an okay logo, but kinda need to know the background.

@ RoboPaul88

Wha?

@ The Nomination Question

Hmmmm... I do not know any of the multiplayer scenarios (a.k.a. I played very few of them.) so I do not think I know any. Whatever happened to BrandNewCar, Enrique Orduno, Ultima_Knight, The Editorbuilder, Tokugawa_Ieaysu, and Life L33ch. Are they still willing to do the MCSN? *huh... maybe you should do an Inactive and Active list* Just a thought

Do you just want something basic like this:

Or do you want me to add a border or images or something to it?

Well I was looking for a 3-D effect kinda like the one on the title of the main screen of The Conquerors. Border, no. Background image, maybe.

Also, I was hoping for a Garamond/Times New Roman font rather than Copperplate Gothic.

It's easy, just find a free web hosting service (not Angelfire or Geocities, I recommend http://pages.sprint.ca/), upload your picture, and use {img} and {/img} to link to your picture (with the { and } becoming [ and ]).

I think that one RoboPaul made is nice . But is that where it will be featured? (I mean, will it be showed in the location RoboPaul's is if we get a new one? Or will it be on top?)

(Off-Topic) Thnx. CrystalCrown. However, I've have my chances. I've had plenty of Photo-Editing specific programs like ACDSEE, and this extremely cheap Wal-mart Photo-editing program. I remember having something like Printmaster Gold and another photoshop editor. I do have the demo of Photoshop. It came out with that AOK SCENARIO DESIGN TOOLKIT however it expired before I knew it...

So about that "simple" logo....

Great shadowing, a must for any logo. I love a logo with simplicity and besides, have you ever heard "less is more"?. My mother is an interior decorator and often talks about that such. Hence, make the background (if you want it) mainly a light cerulean tint color to a blue-violet lake color to emphasize contrasts in color to the besiege or light-umberish color.(It is nightly isn't it? So violet-blue type hue might be good). Also, make the letters broad and bolder -- the shadow seems a little too much. Also, did you ever notice that"ConquerorS" was spaced out. Well, broading might make better emphasis. If you have the effects to RoboPaul88, you could take a screenshot of AOK (I don't know, of battling man-of-war) and make it a watermark ( adding more to the background) colored in that hue (color). Maybe you could add vines and natural, organic plants to make it more vibrant. However make sure most the detail is away from the letters of the logo to keep its simplicity. Make sure it is symmetrical as well if you do, nothing's more painful than a lopsided logo. Also, can you make that dreamy, blended, oval type of border? That can prevent a rigid, rocky type one...because you need a border if you have a background... Will they do well? Or graphic art would be great too, but not too graphic. This is (erm) sort of Commercial Arts,(without the purpose to make money of course, but attraction ).


Agree about of this CrystalCrown? Your in charge here, but I would like to make some artistic efforts on this.

Hmm.... Actually, those are some great points.

Should I post MCSN in the GSD forum and expand this contest to them also? We are just starting off after the crash of the old thread.

Hey CrystalCrown! I am not going to be able to make it. Something is wrong, and the CD drive is reading as an Audio Disk for some odd reason. I am going to try to fix it (my Norton Anti-Virus has not been updated for a while, so I am going to try to fix it) and I will probably be able to next Saturday. I am really sorry .
