New Game Announced!
« on: October 29, 2000, 09:57:00 PM »
Given the latest fuss over the survey, I decided it was time for me to test the online game market. I feel there is an untapped niche market that is ready for an empreneur like myself.

Here is the gist- think “Bill Gates does a game about himself”. That’s right, it’s-

“Online Sim Sim”!

You are in charge of a small development startup. Your job is to take a limited amount of resources and get your sim online, generate a consumer base, and turn a profit within two year’s time.

Thrill as you make all the make-or-break decisions that guide your team’s future.

Chill as your so-called loyal customers turn on you on a moment’s notice.

Spill as you carry the beer you bought with your last buck, the result of bad choices.

Think about it. You always wanted to be an online businessman; you just never had the guts to do it yourself. Still, the urge was strong, and you couldn’t contain your enthusiasm. Admit it; you always knew you could turn a fledgling company into a corporate powerhouse anytime you wanted, you’re so damn smart. Now’s your chance!

Imagine going home to your simulated wife and telling her to start looking for simulated work.

Tell your simulated children they will be cutting down to one simulated meal a day.

Sell your simulated house and move right into the luxury accommodations that is your car.

Dine on sumptuous meals from the simulated garbage bins of all the finer simulated restaurants in town.

Now’s your chance. Show everyone you know it all.

Hmmm! A stab a humor met with sarcasm. Suprise!

I had the urge to take this to your level(Maverick,Creamo) by calling you both dick's with ears but I won't.

I think I'll just sit here in my flame proof suit waitng for the chance to light MY pom-poms.

I aint going to lite anything, you would just think though after 27 new topics on the same damn pricing theme would bore at least some of you, that's all.

And shut up Kbman, you are the only tard I have ever, EVER heard tell someone they are a "Mother F^cker to get the f*ck off their RW", that were "spies", and you were watching our planes to see "if like the mafia, me and Fatty would shoot one of our own planes", all from us joining Rooks for a few hours to fly a round with Hblair and meet new people in RW last week.

Sometimes its fun to fly and chat with the NME ya know.(for your info, AH places you in a default RW session, I had to ALT TAB to see who the foul mouth was) There is quite a diffrence from friendly sarcastic banter, even insults in the heat of gameplay, to taking it personally and acting like that.

 Im sarcastic, but YOU are a complete moron, who after 14hours a day of AH have lost contact with reality to the point of the just mentioned.

I still stand on the cheering about the pricing thing. Maybe HTC could give you guys free accounts and have you make a manual already.

"Hmmm! A stab a humor met with sarcasm. Suprise!"
didnt you see the sarcasm in Kierens original post?  Take those blinders off, you wouldnt want to appear a hipocrite would you?

"Rejoice as your flock of loyal sim weanies attack every critisism, ignore or rationalise every mistake and attach an easy read lable to everyone that dares question your sim!"
Play on easy mode and your customer base will consist of  15 weanies willing to pay 1 million each to play per year! Only they will post on your bbs! Start each work day with a big group hug!
Play on normal mode and others might have an opinion on what they would like in the game, they might support many things and disagree with others...But the weanies will keep em down for ya with insults and bravado!
Or brave the challenge of dificult mode. You still get a troup of loyal weanies but they  can only post in the weanie forum. So all users know were to find thier wisdom and read how the game really works!
