Hopefully he gets the joke. Retro games aren't very funny I have nothing else.

I'm working on finding more. I just thought something was better than nothing. Will edit post if I do.

A chance to help Bob? Sinus up!


Can two pasta lovin' plumbers really make diet jokes?

(That one's more of a placeholder in case I can't get the screenshot I'm thinking of.)

I don't think someone likes the desert.


I think I have a better idea for a screenshot, but it's pretty late game so I may or may not get to it. In the meantime, here's three. Please excuse the size of the last one.

legacyme3 :

I'm just here to gather up all the screenshots we have. Cuz you know. dats my job.
If any new screenshots are sumbitted (And please do! *cough* gameboy *cough*) I'll edit my post to accomadate for them, so check back here :3

Yoshi's Screenshots:




That's it for now, But as I said, if the people who haven't sumbitted any screenshots (and you know who you are .w.) sumbit any, I'll add them here.

I'm very happy that you guys are trying to get a little more active, but we need to be more active than this. Although I understand that this specific task might be a little more inactive than others because it doesn't really require any conversation between team mates. But please, be a little more active the next round, okey team? ;w;

Now that the screenshot competition is done, and we're onto a story competition would it maybe be possible to start bouncing ideas off one another, in case someone's stuck for a story idea? Even if not in the thread, maybe in chat or steam or something?
After all, Participation is a big thing here. The more people that can get something, the better.

Alright, I've finished my story. I love writing, so this was just more fun for me I bet other people are dying though. >w< Also, I've been told by many a teacher that I'm an amazing writer, so, yey? Anyway, here is my story.

It really was a Nightmare.

All of us were packed into a small helicopter. We knew full well what we had signed up for, and we were paying the price. I was looking out one of the windows of the tiny vehicle. It was hard to see anything on the outside though, as the glass was covered in dirt and muck. It’s hard to tell what everyone else was thinking, but we all shared one emotion: Panic. After a long wait of heavy breathing and awkward shifting, A small island out in the middle of the ocean was visible in the window. I could hear someone talking, but my nerves were so shot that all I heard was a muffled whisper laced with dread. Then I felt the helicopter start to drop. That must be the island we’re going to spend our time on, then. Slowly we began our descent to our little piece of hell. Just going down sent a hundred intense emotions shooting through my mind. I tried to remind myself, it’s not permanent, it’ll go away after it’s all over. But that doesn’t change the emotions you feel when you die. At that point, it’s not really fun and games anymore. It’s doing whatever you have to do to survive. When we arrived at the island, we were gathered up into a group for an announcement. "Hello everyone! As you've probably noticed, you are on an island called 'Kanashi Shima'. Some people here are well acquainted with the island, and are probably regretting burning down the shelter they had made. Oops. Did I mention that when I gave you the instructions?" Our announcer stared down at us with a look of curiosity, Separating the soon to be dead from the ones who had a chance. He smiled. "Well, it's a night round." he drawled on, "Since, you know, it's dark out. So if you have a night action, you should probably go ahead and do it. And don't worry, I'm not a total sadist, I prepared small huts for each of you. Twenty-nine of them. The things I do for you players." After glancing over the group of players for a few more seconds, He waved his hand, and walked off into a forest. The rest of us, however, walked off to the group of cabins near the shore, each of us searching for our familiar names. I walked into my cabin and sighed. I knew exactly what my role was. And I knew exactly what I was meant to do. A couple of my peers walked into my hut. “Who will it be tonight, sir?” one of them said. It was the first night. We had free rein to choose anyone we wanted, and we wouldn’t have to face any major consequences. “I think.. that muffin guy. A veteran could easily outsmart us and ruin our operation.. He should be the first to go.” Another said. All I could do was stare at the ground, but I had to make up my mind at some point. “Muffin is out.” I spoke. “Our decision is made.” I could hear lighting outside. Muffin was to die tomorrow, for sure. And that was the end of that.

I opened my eyes and sat up in my hut. There were people talking outside, mostly about the death of their comrade Muffin. A lot of them were arguing over who it was who killed him. I walked out of my hut and into the fresh air. For being a place called “Sad Island”, it sure was beautiful. I headed over to the other players and sat down on a log. “Well, it is the first day, maybe we should just go with No Kill, we really have no leads..” “But that’s stupid. if we do that, we’ll just let the mafia get away with another kill, and I’m totally against that.” “Well Frod was obviously the last to send in a letter to leggy, obviously he has a night role. He’s the most suspicious right now.” It was all going good, until I tried to defend a friend. “Yoshi, you’ve been up all night. why is that?” I was with yoshi last night, and we kind of had a falling out. I didn’t want to let a friend get killed just because of that. “I think that's something personal going on with him. I honestly don't think that's a reason to suspect him. Please don't kill me for defending him, I'm just saying what I think happened.” And that’s when everyone turned on me. I was accused of being overly defensive and having “bad vibes” and just generally being a bad player. I didn’t say much at all. I was new to this, but I thought defending someone wouldn’t get me killed. But apparently it would. This constant arguing continued far too long, and I was pretty much guaranteed death. That noose was just chanting my name, wasn’t it?

Leggy, the game host, showed up a couple of days later with some news.

“I apologize if the vote counts are a smidge off. There was a lot of you, and you changed your votes frequently. As of now, the votes stand at Ginger with 12 votes, No Kill with 13 votes, Paper Luigi with 1 vote, and 2 people with no votes at all. You have all chosen No Kill.” and with that, Leggy walked into.. the ocean?

We all sat around the campfire. Except for me, of course. I was considered too suspicious and wasn’t allowed any warmth tonight. Just my luck. I took out a small sketchbook I had in my pocket and my pencil and drew some cats to calm my nerves. Then I noticed a bright light above my head. I was just about to look up, when-

SMACK!

A...potato? Everyone gathered around it, and only a few were concerned with how I was doing. Am I going to die.. from a potato? I laughed. Well, I mostly croaked, but it was close as I was gonna get to a laugh. Everyone looked back at me. “Well.. I guess that’s not so bad of a death.. now, is it?” My head fell to the side, and everything in my field of vision went stark black.

and then, I heard a voice.

"Chin up, you are the first player ever killed by a falling potato."



That's all :3 As for other people, if you need some help I might be able to come up with some topics so just keep on the lookout~ I know yoshi is almost finished with his story. And if you need some help with wording and grammar I can do that too. :3

My submission is called "Once There Was".  I admit I didn't know where this was going.  But it sort of formed into a religious piece.  I apologize in advance if this turns into something awkward.  However, I am pleased with how it turned out.

Once there was a lonely, broken man,
Who worked to eat the fruit of others’ hands:
He slaved all day and ever through the night,
So that he might have just another bite.

Once there was a woman wanting love,
Who had no charms about her to speak of;
Despite the millions she gave from the bank,
She never got a single word of thanks.

Once there was a child without kin,
Who cursed the bread, but glorified the gin;
Despite his best efforts to start anew,
His heart was never tilted towards the truth.

Once there was a Savior from on high,
Who descended through the stormy sky
So that all these people may have rest,
And that all the nations may be blessed.

In the mid 1800's, there once lived a boy named Felix. Every day, Felix woke up to the sound of his mothers voice calling him to the table for a breakfast of boiled eggs, and warm, freshly baked bread. "Oh Felix, time for breakfast!", the mother shouted to reach his room in the Attic. "I'm coming, Mother!" he replied, quickly putting on his school clothes He greeted his brother, Jasper, while rushing down to the dining room. A quick "Hi" was said, and Felix was already off, followed swiftly by Jasper. The three of them sat down at the table and began to eat. The Mother insisting the two do not eat too fast, in fear that they will choke and she will lose yet another person dear to her. Needless to say, the father is no more. For he was lost in the Eighth Xhosa War of 1850.



Things have been awkward since the death of Felix's Father. Felix, crying himself to sleep at night to this day. Though it was 5 long years ago, the tears never ceased. His sadness, neverending.

Felix rushed off to school without saying goodbye to his mother. He was late for school and didn't think twice. His brother tagging along with him. On his way there, Felix encountered a strange old man in overalls. He seemed to be carrying a spade over his right shoulder, so Felix quickly assumed it was one of the local farmers. Felix, always chivalrous, greeted him as he passed by. The supposed farmer was muttering something, but Felix didn't acknowledge it for very long. The day continued as usual. They both came home and had dinner. They discussed the events of the day. A while after dinner, Felix asked his mother about what the old man was saying. "The day is near when the protector shall come, the youth shall reap the spoils of the earth and life as we know it will come to an end" This making no sense to Felix, of course. His mother could not make much sense of it either. The Mother quickly dodged the question and rushed Felix off to bed, as she refuses to admit she doesn't understand. Felix quickly fell asleep, without another thought of the odd words that came from the old man.


In the middle of the night, little Felix awoke a bit startled. His arms, reaching out into the dark room, crying "Father!". Felix had a dream about his father, which had Felix's invision of his father being brutally slain on the battlefield. As Felix dries his tears, he notices a glowing light coming from outside his window. The town had been caught ablaze and was swiftly being burned away into nothing, the wind carrying the embers to his house.


In a panic, Felix jumped out of his bed and went to waken his brother, only to find that Jasper wasn't there. Rushing downstairs to tell his mother, he stumbled upon a very destructive scene. Black flames covered the wall and some areas of the floor. Felix, although panicked, was very puzzled, as the town was covered in red and yellow flames. These were different. As he ran toward town, hoping to find his missing brother, he recalled the words the old man quietly whispered to himself. Perhaps he is behind this, and behind te disappearance of the rest of his family, and the unexplained black flames that his house was engulfed in. Running through the burning town, Felix notices his brother standing next to the old man from the other day. He singes his pajamas, which his father gave him before he went to war, while running through the burning wreckage of what used to be a house. He almost reaches his brother when the raging inferno suddenly create a wall of fire, obstructing him from reaching Jasper. He frantically calls to him; "Jasper!" "JASPER!", his tears being evaporated due to the intense flames which divide him from his brother.

However, Jasper did not respond. He stood still and silent as the flames grew more intense.

Jasper raised his hand, chanting the very words that the old man had spoke, and a blast of black fire hit Felix, and dragged him into a dark abyss on the flipside of reality. The room was cold, dark, and lonely. Felix began to grow hungry. A great amount of time has passed, full of silence and desolation. The bereft wasteland seemed endless as Felix continued to traverse it. Hearing echoes of his mother's voice, he tried to follow it. The winding maze that lies beneath the surface of reality was cruel and unforgiving.


Felix soon arrived at what seemed to be a dead end. The final resting point of his journey. The enviroment of the area diminished his emotions to practically nothing. Everything he ever loved had been taken away from him.


However, Felix felt a glimmer of hope, as he saw his brother standing across from him. Jasper reached out with his arms, and Felix came rushing to them. Felix was thus greeted with a hidden blade up Jaspers sleeve, piercing his neck. Felix then began to suffocate, and could not suppress his tears. These tears, however, were not sadness, but happiness. Reunited with his brother, he died in his arms. The dimension began to collapse, consuming both of them

"The Company Corruption Story" by GameBoy1023 for Vizzed Camp's Story Competition.

Some people say the company SUDX was created from a Vizzed Chat Room typo.
A completely innocent company that makes parodies of games, right?
No. This is a story of the truth.

Vizzed was a very peaceful community, and everything seemed perfectly fine.
Until one day, an attack was planned on Vizzed.
Some beloved Vizzed members had vanished, and were all sent to a location were they were enslaved and forced to work for an organization about to corrupt all of Vizzed's happiness and joy.
They told us strictly that nobody talks unless they want a fistful of pain coming their way.
It was then that I, along with a few others, was ordered to feign creation of a company from a typo in the Vizzed Chat Room, so they can just cause more destruction and chaos.
After this happened, step 1 of their attempt to take over the Vizzed Empire was complete.

Suspicions on the other side of Vizzed were non-existent, and everybody thought everything was fine.
Later on in the day, the organization had made the fake company of SUDX a real live company, for no apparent reason other then just to get away with mischief, it seemed.
Someone decided to open their mouth and try to talk about the situation behind the organization's backs, and after that, the same person was never seen again.
Step 2 of the plan to take over Vizzed's Community was just about to be put in effect.
The evil group of people told anyone that was good with destruction to come to them, and some people did listen.
They were told specifically to go and break the forums in any way they could, but some people did decline, and wanted out.
The evil association then threatened all the beings that declined with horrifying things, so horrifying to get them to accept no matter what the cost.
The forums became almost non-functional. Attempting to create a thread would give you very strange coding messages and attempting to write a post would either have a broken post editor, or take giant sums of Viz away from your account.
It was then that the owner of Vizzed had received many reports about the incident, with globals asking the owner if he broke the site on purpose.
The owner of Vizzed had announced that he is looking into the situation, and refunding all of the stolen viz, worried that hackers have surpassed the security of the site.
Step 2 of the organization's plan to corrupt Vizzed, sadly complete.

Here is where the group stood just around the corner of having total control of Vizzed in their hands.
Step 3, the final step, made with quick and sloppy planning, was produced. 
This step required a disguise, but not just any ordinary disguise, a disguise made to look like the owner of the website.
To get past the security guarding the owner of Vizzed's room, there was a password.
Some of us were told to go spy on the owner of Vizzed, to retrieve that password.
All of us obliged, considering if we didn't we would just get pain in the face.
The stunt wasn't pulled off very successfully, with the owner of Vizzed finding most of us and ordered us to retreat to elsewhere, but we still managed to get the password, and that password was "4G8219H7".
Disguised as the owner of Vizzed, the leader of the association had inserted the password, granting entry to the owner of Vizzed's kingdom.
The owner of Vizzed was found sleeping like a baby in the owner room, and was easily removed from the building.
And now, the moment the organization has all been waiting for, Total control over Vizzed.
The fake owner of Vizzed had immediately sent orders to the staff. Very suspicious orders, but they were gullible enough, none the less.
Any user on Vizzed was now not even permitted to say a word on the site at all unless they had permission from a global.
All the happiness and joy that the community once had was now turned into sheer bitterness.
Anything cheerful was gone, and everyone had lost hope.

Now that the leaders of the group were too distracted fooling around with corrupting Vizzed, we all got together and tried to form a rebellion, Which would require stealthiness and more then just 20 people.
We found the leaders of the organization's weapon stash and we tried to steal and hide them all.
We had also found a key to the exit door, which was required if we wanted to escape the location any time soon.
We had managed to get back into Vizzed safe and sound, with all of us noticing how dark and depressing Vizzed has become.

We had alerted a higher-up that the owner of Vizzed in charge is a fake, and he figured that we may be telling the truth, since these newly implemented strict rules wouldn't be the owner's normal every day life running the site.He agreed to confronting the alleged fake owner, as he knew the password to the owner's kingdom since he was second in charge. We cornered the fake owner in the owner's room, messing around with all the controls that he knew nothing about what they actually do. The real owner would never press buttons that aren't necessary to be pressed, and when we asked a question to the fake that only the real owner knew, he did not know the answer. We successfully got him trapped, and sent outside of the boundaries of Vizzed to where he was kicked out and not allowed to return, no matter what tricks he may try to pull.

The community worked together to help fix the drastic changes made to the site when the fake was in charge, and perhaps spitball some new ideas for the safety of the site. Everything was happy and filled with joy again, the way it was meant to be.
The end.

Eek! Almost forgot to gather up our stories. Thankfully I'm not too late. Okay, so thanks to everyone who submitted a story. They were all pretty good as stories (Although some were a bit confusing in their early stages) And I think we have a good chance at at least one spot with the stories we have. So, here's the list:

My story: It Really Was a Nightmare

Super's story/poem: Once There was

Gal's Story: Legendary Fedora

Yoshi's Story: Felix and Jasper

Gambit's Story: The Company Corruption Story

As for people who didn't enter a story, while I'm not to sure if you have time to, maybe you can try to squeeze in a quick story?

As of this post, the submission period has ended. Any submission before this point will count for the competition.

Judging will take between 1-3 days, during which point, there will be no "real" contest for you guys, as I can't update the activity thread until I have the results from this competition.

It will take that long because I have two other judges who need to read all these stories, as well as me. It will take us time to come to a decision.

Scoring will go as such, we will count up all the submissions, and give points based on personal placement.

For example, if there are 20 entries, the top entry will get 20 points from me, the second will get 19, the third 18, and the last, 1. Once all entries have a score, I will total up the points from all the judges (max score of 60), and give the entries placement based on the highest aggregate score.

Good luck to all who submitted an entry.

At this time, I will announce a mini competition that will be good for a few bonus points, to give you something to do, while this is in processing.

The Tour de Vizzed is on, and as much as I loathe the TDV, it has given me the ability to give you something to do for the next few days.

So here's how this will go down, if you want, you can compete in the TDV over the days of the judging. If it's one day of judging, it's one day of competition, if it's three days, then it is three.

For every 5 points you score in the TDV between now and the end of the judging period, you will earn your cabin 10 bonus points to be applied to your score.

For example, if you score 20 points between now and the end of the judging period, you will gain 40 bonus points for your cabin! This may seem like a lot of points, but the early days of the TDV are competitive, so everyone will be trying to compete with you.

You can get points by either posting a lot in quantity, posting a lot of words, or doing site staff type work.

So that's all! Good luck in this mini-competition.

Like I haven't already given Leggy enough ideas for competitions...

Anyway, my idea was each team is to create a joint story together. Basically, we make up the idea, then we write our parts of the story, and we put it all together, finalize it, and sumbit it. :3 Leggy and his mysterious frand people could judge this just like the story one we just did.

Even though I already gave that idea to leggy. so i'll write another one.

This is an extremely hard one, but every team has to create a game. Not make the game like program it and everything like that, but make an idea for a game that could really be played. I think Leggy could judge this one based on how fun or how creative the game idea is.

So those are what I came up with. anyway, I don't feel bad about not participating in the mini competition, because I don't TDV. like, at all.

Anyway, everyone, come up with some ideas! and make sure you check other threads to make sure we're not stealing from anyone else, cuz that would be bad.

Summons~

Gingercream1 : I really like that idea.  It would be challenging, yet lots of fun.

My idea: We all come up with a Pokemon move.  These moves are then rated for practicality and uniqueness.  They cannot be any moves already contained within the "Create your own Pokemon Move!" thread.

I actually really like the idea of creating a game too. It's something that everyone can pitch in with and requires lots of communication, which I don't think is really a bad thing at all.
Unfortunately, I'm kind of strapped for ideas, but when I think of one, I'll edit it into this post.

The following post contains suggestions for the new competition.

-----------------------------------
2-Player Netplay Gyromite Highscore
Gyromite sucks. Like, really. however, when you have a second player controlling the doors, it becomes a co-op game which is really fun. The objective would be to try and get the highest score without using continues. This would require 2 players so you would want to pick 2 from your team and have them play co-op. Possibly the captain and co-captain.


-------------------------------------------
Create your own Videogame Boxart Corruption

Alright, so most of everyone here knows what SUDX is. Well we're basically doing that.
You take a videogame boxart of some sort of retro or modern game, and use basic MSPaint tools to alter the boxart into something else.

Rules~

You may insert random images that you feel would be appropriate
You may change the text on the game boxart to say something completely different.

Here is an example of what I am talking about: Action 521

the judges would judge judgy things.

---------------------------------
Polarium Advance Time Trial score

Starting Polarium Advance and set to Time Trial and select Easy. The person with the fastest completion would win.

For those who don't even know what that is, refer to this

Game page link

I'm extending the deadline on this contest for another 24ish hours.

This contest will end on July 11th, 11:59 PM EST.

You all have until then to submit any last submissions.

I'm glad leggy extended the event, because apparently I was almost too late to enter my submission. My entries are all RGR related and didn't have much thought put into them, but GameBoy1023 is not a creative person...

My first idea is a competition for Puzzle Link, a really obscure puzzle game that may be hard to understand for some. 
The goal of this competition would be to get as far in the game as possible in normal mode.

My second idea while it can be called a variant of the first is for a game called Flipull, a game that classifies as another obscure puzzle game, but easier to understand.
The goal of this competition would just be simply to get the highest score as possible.

And that's pretty much it, these are worth a shot at least.

EDIT: NOT SURE WHAT THIS INVISIBLE TEXT THING IS, BUT IT'S A THING

Alright, I'm tired of this crap > :V

No i'm not tired of you my wonderful team :b I'm tired of this torture device called Mario Paint. THANKS ALOT USER FOR SUGGESTING IT, YOU REALLY MADE MY DAY >w>

Also leggy pls, why would you do this to me, you should know how much I loathe Mario Paint

anyway I've been at it for like 3 hours now and could absolutely not get anything good. I made this yesterday, so this will be my only sumbission so far.



I've named this "Fun for One". don't ask why :V

Edit: I've made another sumbission, that I'm pretty proud of actually. There was a lot of detail put into it, and this is mostly what I think "Innocent" town looks like:



I dub this image "Not So Innocent Town". :p

But yeah, now rant time.

You guys better do something this time, for goodness sake. I mean, you guys have been doing things, and that's great, But I've had to constantly pester some of you to submit things and I just won't be having that. I'm not doing this thing alone (ESPECIALLY NOT THIS CONTEST, DON'T LET MY SHIP SINK ALRIGHT) and we're a team and all that so we need to work together. Let's work harder, we entered this to have fun, now lets have fun dammit! /endrant

Just gonna put this in a new post cuz it's easier to sort this way :v



I've made 3 submissions, you guys have made none. I'm begging you at this point, please at least try to submit something ;w;

Phew okay, so I hate Mario Paint. I'm amazed at people who can create decent images with it (Then again, I have a hard enough time making okay-ish images on a regular paint program.)
But... at least I have something.

So.... I know this place is called Innocent 'Town', but thanks to Mafia I can't help but think of this place as a set of islands, with all the major subforums being their own little island. I'm hoping to get into more detail with other submissions if at all possible, but this is a start.
