Title: An even stupider idea...
Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock on May 12, 2003, 11:18:10 PM
I've got the perfect thing for some of the less talented people around TWG to review.

[shadow=blue,left,300]Websites[/shadow]

Hows 'bout that? For the uninitiated it may work well for those who want to jump into the article writing cliche but don't want to be known for their really crappy review of something tangible. Eh, eh?

I've been thinking about doing a weekly/bi-weekly "cool websites to waste time at" but haven't had the time to do so.  Do one on Homestarrunner.com if you want to start out.

Isn't that what "Tower of Cheapness" was about?

Yes, that's what the Tower of Cheapness is for. Anyone is welcome to wrote a review of anything and submit it, and we'll decide if we want to post it or not. And by we, I mostly mean I.

Your a souless autocrat fellfrosch. We should have commitees set up - seperately - for each review, who would then consider it and taken a minimun of 30 days to decide anything.

That is, according to the labour party, the true meaning of democracy.

Alright Spriggan, I accept your challenge-ma-bob.

Email it to me or sumbit it under the TOC.  EUOL put me in charge of it so I'll sort threw things before sending them to fell, save him the hassel what with the new baby and all.

What is this, I can't believe my eyes. The allmighty Fellfrosch has made a mistake. Or do you mean that we should go back in time and write the review and then post it.

I always find it prudent to spellcheck posts that poke fun at other's typos before posting them, Gargamel.

Ah, irony...

Gemm I noticed your review.  I'm working on some guidelines about format and what to include.  I should have mentioned that before to you   :-/.  Any way once I get them fleshed out with Fell I might need you to add somemore.

Oh ok then. That seems fair enough. I know I did forget some stuff, but I think some things the people should find themselves. I'm not sure what it is your going to do but ok then.

No its going to be more a layout issue I think.  Its fine that you left some hints for people to find stuff.  I'm thinking on haveing it look a little like the webcomics reviews including 5 reasons why you'd like this site and 5 why you wouldn't.  Also I'd like to have how frequently it's updated and what type of connection is perfered.  So there may be some small things.  I'll format it but if there's anything that needs to be typed then I'll let you add that if you want.

I can do the 5 why and why not. I think a 56k connection is good enough for Homestarrunner. That's what I use. Or maybe if I read your post right then you mean that you'll do the 5 for and not.

what do you meen by "even stupider idea" compared to what ???
Title: Re: An even stupider idea...
Post by: Spriggan on May 15, 2003, 10:18:35 AM
I just finished a review of a site and sent it to Fell for aprovial of the layout/contents.  Once that's up you can use it to see what I'm talking about.  I think it would be easier to see that then to have me try and explain it. ;D

Ok Gemm there's one posted on the main page now (gamers generation).  What you've submitted will work good for the last part (there the site is described) but I need some info for the 3 things and such.

Here's a site to review for Tower of Cheapness. (uniting our earlier settlers discussion). Settlers of Catan online (http://settlers.cs.northwestern.edu/index.html)

I'm too tired to play it. Someone tell me if it's worth it.
