Nathan Caroland Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hey folks, As always I'm looking for a way to make the website more interesting for those that visit and participate on the Wyrd forums. We've taken that a step further by adding an arcade for those of you interested in online games, bored at work or at home, or would like to prove that you are king of the arcade by collecting as many titles as you can; you can even take it a step further by setting up tournaments between various players. You will notice in the forums now that there are new icons added to the postbit legacy (that would be your information on the right above all your posts) for those that have taken the 'Champion Title'. A fun way for you to find out who you need to knock off! In order to access the arcade, simply follow the new navsite link on the front page to 'Arcade', or you can take this direct link here. This just another way for us to say thank you for choosing to spend some of your time here at Wyrd making it that much more interesting for all of us. Now in order to keep folks from just signing up and eating up bandwidth all day by playing games, we've set a minimum post amount for folks to be able to enjoy themselves in the arcade, which is currently set at 25 forum posts. That isn't that difficult to come by what with the forum activity and the comments in the photo and contest galleries counting towards your post count. More games will be added as time or funds allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 And just to start off some of the fun for the arcade, I've created a tournament for 'Pumpkin Smash'. Rather addicting game. Will take eight players in total to start the tournament. Sign Up Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yep, and as of right now, I am the Pumpkin Queen!!! (of course, it could completely change by tomorrow ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I said it in the shoutbox, but I'll say it here as well: Thanks for the games, Nathan! Very cool games in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vytis Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 More ways to avoid my painting! YAY! Oh, wait. Maybe not yay. I have contest entries to work on. But what is an entry without some form of procrastination? For me, it isn't it! A PROCRASTINATOR IS ME! Good games, Nathan, and thanks a bunch!

Hinton Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hinton how the hell did you get so many tiles??! Shocking. Benefits of a misspent youth in arcades. So many quarters.... Edit: Of course, I don't expect to keep all 15 high scores for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 This is awful! Fun, but awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malebolgia Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Woohoo! Just made a MONSTERSCORE for the tournament's final...and I also competed against myself. Dunno what was going on but it was funny . See if the other finalist can beat my 24.000!!! MWUAHAHAHAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vytis Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Man, I think I'd rather splat the pumpkin into every headstone than get the high score. But I'm twisted that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Um so how do you play a tournament game? I signed up and have played some games but I don't think the scores are going towards my tournament score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 ok scrap that. So who is going to beat my 70506? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Just so folks know who are playing but haven't figured it out yet. If you sign up for a tournament, once the slots are filled, you go to view tournament and under your name it will say 'play game'. This way it tracks it for the tournament scoring.

Duende Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Where's Xenon? He's the only one that still needs to play the first round! ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon_Wulf Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I thought I had! Well then - I'll get on it right away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincegamer Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 That lunar lander game is hard because the left/right is reversed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon_Wulf Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Is it just me, or do some games have trouble putting up your score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincegamer Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I spent like 45 minutes this morning playing that Apple Hunt game and completed it with a much higher score than Duende's, only to have it not record because when the new window opened it didn't keep me logged in. The game is cute but too easy and frustratingly slow to watch the damn apple bounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
