As long as they get to the main board page. From there, it should be fairly obvious that they'll want to go to the forum called "Chrono Trigger Remake Petition".

Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Time out. Tomorrow at midnight? I thought we were launching on Thursday. That's what you said to us last Wednesday, Jake.

I don't care about the other petition. They have some interesting ideas (if you download a copy of the petition, it comes personalized with your name on it), but it's a petition to publish a story that I have not read in full yet. And until I do read the whole story (which I hear has not been finished yet, BTW), I don't see why we should bother expending the effort, time, and resources necessary for the linkage.

Whenever I hear the word "faction", I think of Communists. (Red Faction, anyone? ) Needless to say, I'm gonna continue referring to us as a "group", because I still like to call us the CTRPG. Besides, "faction" just sounds too militaristic.

Jake, write the web address of the forums into the .TXT file for the site's news section, and add a little note instructing people to copy/paste it into their web browsers. That way, you don't have to use HTML for the text. You MUST get that done before the launch, or else not as many people will find the extra downloads.

Has the "name" problem on the site been fixed yet?

I still haven't heard back from Claado Shou. I don't think he checked his email. I'm gonna send him a PM at the Compendium now requesting that he check his mail.

Prop, I said Belgium for no particular reason. The phrase "King of Belgium" sounds funny to me, that's all. And they've got some great chocolate and waffles over there, too. Mmmmmmm.



EDIT: Jake, take the "PWNED!" pic I posted in the "Request for Apoc" thread and put it in Extra Downloads as a sig.

DOUBLE EDIT: I just checked the site. David is still referred to as "Name". What the Hell is going on, Jake?!

Lookin' good, Jake.

By the way, what happened earlier with Prop's account getting replaced by BigBob85's? He PMed me about it.

Jake, I forwarded you the email Joe sent me with the completed, full-size wallpaper attached.

BTW, the version of the logo he used in the wallpaper is a fixed version I created with the GIMP. I noticed that our current logo had some odd spacing in the word "Chrono"...namely, between the "R" and the first "O". So I modified it to make it look right.



I'm gonna start calling our group the CTRPG from now on. It's a lot easier to type than writing out "Chrono Trigger Remake Petition staff" so it isn't confused with CTRP.

So what status have you been promoted to, Prop? King of Belgium?



Joe is 95% complete with the Marle wallpaper. Here's a small sample of what he's got so far:



I like it.

Guh...Crystal Clear...over 400,000 points...

I think I'm in love.

Okay, I'll see if I can get that info.

Holy crap, now Michael's an Admin?! What the Hell is going on?

......good God, that's a terrible superhero name.

The OCR thread stated that Symphonic will be out "early early in December, several weeks before Christmas". So no, we don't quite have a full month left. Just a few extra days.

You want me to send Claado an email asking if we're part of this "Christmas Surprise"? It couldn't hurt to be sure about it. Besides, I'd like to know if he could give us a launch date more specific than "early December".

EDIT: WTF OMG, Jake's a Global Mod! How the shizzle did that happen??

2nd EDIT: I just found out why Symphonic has been delayed. Their site got deleted by an unscrupulous host and they're looking for a new home. Could David possibly help them out? It would be the ultimate way to attract attention to Vizzed -- Claado could put a link to the Vizzed Forums on the Symphonic site in return for the webspace. So then we'd have TWO major projects linking to these forums. And people would be even more likely to notice the petition by coming here and seeing its forum.

Or maybe I'm just being too ambitious with this idea?

Use it as a sig!

Holy crap, Prop. That layout is five kinds of awesome. Though I wish you could take the word "Project" in the lower-right corner and replace it with "Petition".

Apoc, that picture pwns. In fact, I'm gonna turn it into a "Pwned!" picture.

Yup, GIMP is what Joe uses. He says it really does do everything Photoshop does, in his experience. So yay for us.

Go. Download. Now!

And Apoc, notice that I said he's willing to do the other available wallpaper and sig. I made it a point to inform him of which ones were already taken. Relax.

EDIT: *groan* Update from the Chrono Symphonic OCR thread: it will be released next month. Jake, you might wanna trash that "Site Launch is Imminent" thread in the normal forum...

BTW, Claado mentioned in the OCR thread that he and a "bunch of other outside sources" are planning a "super-special Christmas present" for everyone this year. Would one of these "outside sources" happen to be us?

I was thinking you could simply cut off the bottom portion of the other character pics, and move the remainder down to the signature area. There's no need for squishing (though the mental image of a character like Magus being squished is making me laugh out loud) -- only cropping is necessary in this case.

But if it's completely impossible, then I won't pressure you.

That's simple to do, Michael. Create a hotlink to the site, and on the part of the tag where you type in what text you want to be hotlinked, put the image tag.

Example: [ URL = http://www.blah.com/glarg ] [ IMG ] *your image URL here* [ /IMG ] [ /URL ]

Remove the spaces and you'll get something like this:



Good news! I've learned of a free online image-manipulation program that can open .PSD Photoshop files. It's called "The GIMP". I'll try to find the address of its official site and put it up here soon so we can all go download it.

Joe's enthusiasm continues to amaze me. He will be doing the Marle Thumbs-Up wallpaper for certain, and he seems eager to do the other available wallpaper and sig as well. He also suggested the idea of having site buttons, which are tiny image hotlinks (like the above one, but much smaller) that direct you to the site when clicked on. He says we could have one for each playable CT character. I think the logo would make a good one, too.

Whew! Thank God. I'd heard on the Chrono Compendium from some guy named Zaperking that there was a CT Remake scheduled to be made for the PSP, and that it was on the upcoming games list on the official website. This would have nullified the entire purpose of the petition, but thankfully it isn't true, so all our hard work has not been wasted.

That sig looks nice, Apoc (the JPEG one, at least). Do you need to have Photoshop installed on your computer in order to view the other version?

I've discovered another individual who could help us with the sigs/wallpapers. His name, simply enough, is Joe. He's a massive Chrono Trigger fanatic that I met on a forum which, oddly enough, had nothing to do with Chrono Trigger. And he's very excited at the chance to help us with this project. I'll keep you guys updated.

I really think we're on to something here. Maybe we should alter the other petitions' images so they're like that one -- borderless and with their faces placed in the areas where the signatures go. This Janus/Alfador petition looks so perfect (I changed my mind about it when I looked at the Print Preview. It gave me chills!) that I find it a shame we can't let the public use it.

Guys, I've just discovered something disturbing. I need to know: is there an official PSP website? Please tell me if there is and what it's web address is, because I need to check it for something (if it exists). This is extremely important, and is very much related to the Petition.

I do know, but if nobody's watching you then it's okay, without my pants.

Apoc, I was hoping you could tint the Lavos petition gray -- that's what I meant in my original request when I asked you to "grayscale" it, but not tint it any particular color. I thought it would be fitting if his petition was the only one without color -- just black, white, and shades of gray.

The Janus/Alfador petition DOES look incredibly awesome. But Apoc, could you center the picture of Alfador/Janus on the page some more? Right now it looks like it's too close to the bottom of the page. Thanks!

EDIT: Actually, on second thought, leave the Janus/Alfador petition as-is. It looks great right now, not being blocked by the text farther up the page. Thank you so much for making it for me, I love it!!

Apoc, could you please forward the email to me so I can have Saridon's address in case I need to contact him? Thanks.

I won't show Prop's PM if he doesn't want me to.

Jake, have you recieved an update from Claado Shou about the Symphonic release? I read in the project's OCR thread that it's possible it might be delayed until December...

^ Uses a big-ass spear to skewer enemies. What fun!
