Super Ragefest IV: Trolls And Tribulations

[Arch]

What was on my mind is that someone else records the submissions.

I don't think him being the host is the problem. I think it's the fact that we're on the fourth go-around of something that peaked on its first iteration, and the idea's a little tired.

We need more capitalism around here. This monopolistic communist bullshit is bullshit.

to echo arch and add something, I feel like the best ideas have already been shown, and there aren't very many places hackers can go with making rage hacks anymore, so the idea is shriveled, as I said before. There's nothing wrong with marc being the host; he can be a very funny person. it's just that there isn't any drive left in making ragey stuff O 3 O

no arch what

socialism hacks are what we need

equal ground ideas!

I'm sure people are working on their submissions. With no definite deadline, it gives people more time to work out any problems they might come across before making an update, as well as not having to completely stop any other projects they might be working on. I'd say give it at least another 2-3 days before you'll see something.

I'd would try to work on something, I have mulled over some really trollish ideas of my own, but right now, i'm working on something that i'm already only working on and off with, so i really don't want to get into anything else right now.

[Arch]

My submission is already done.

[Bladehero22]

the best ideas have already been shown,

All except for ONE.

Actually, Marc used it... but it took too long to troll anyone with.

On the contrary Seph1212. Did you see how I acted during Ragefest 3? The only humor that came out of my mouth was the endless slew of jaded remarks. Compare that to my cheery wackiness in Ragefest I.

And as of late, I've been very emotionally detached and withdrawn. I don't want to be around people. As such, I don't think I have what it takes to make a watchable Ragefest anymore.

Because this is a shriveled up idea that has grown old over the last three contests and you should think of something new!

This is something that has lingered in the back of my mind for a while. I never brought it up because no one ever spoke up about it.

I agree with you. Ragefest has run dry. The only reason I kept it going was because the first one was so successful, and I got the impression that people wanted more, and I was afraid that if I didn't continue the series, I'd be letting a lot of people down. I never really considered my own feelings, which is why I started Ragefest IV despite announcing that I was tired of Fire Emblem and being a part of it's hacking community on the Emblem Brigade Forums.

I think it's time Ragefest gets axed. I've grown tired of Fire Emblem hacking, and I don't really want to be part of the community anymore either. I just want to be left alone, without worrying about any obligations.

[Nanami Touko]

Oh, uh, Marc, you quoted me twice there. Arch didn't say that first one o 3 o

[Bladehero22]

Well, I like the contest. If you want someone to keep it going, you can count on me.

[Baldrick]

So that's it? I'm a little disappointed.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you or anything. I'm sure you've got a lot on your plate, and all the hacks I've seen look like they took a lot of time and effort to complete. This contest has been going on for a while, and I'm a rank amateur hacker, so my idea probably wouldn't be as original as I think it was. I was looking forward to it, but if your heart's not in it, I wouldn't want you to force yourself to continue.

I hope it all works out for you.

[cyron]

if that is what you want it is your decision, i will respect it and i will miss ragefest

[Klokinator]

i would just like to know who won the last contest

hopefully me

Though in all seriousness, PK's submission was my favorite by far.

I haven't issued the voting yet for Ragefest 3, and god knows when I'll be bothered to do that at the speed I'm going.

[Bladehero22]

I personally think FELover3 won. That's just my opinion.

What darn I've made a lot of progress on my submission... Maybe what's left can be let's played independently from the contest? (Not necessarily by Marc, maybe by whoever feels up to it... Though my submission is kinda tied to Marc :/)

I wouldn't deny a hack made specifically for me to play. Just don't expect me to do it until my mental and emotional state of mind has improved.

[mmKALLL]

Even if the contest get's axed, I hope that my hack will make lots of other people cry of enjoyment and laugh of rage. Or the other way around.

[Shugey]

Do what you want Marc. if you don't feel like doing it anymore, don't. We'd rather have you not do it and be happy than be miserable doing it.

[47948201]

be miserable doing it.

Wasn't this the point? Or was it that people thought this was the point that made Marc not want to do it anymore...

[Shugey]

I meant miserable as in "look at all of this stuff I have to record and edit and manage" as opposed to "oh no that chest shoots fire"

I have infinite patience for performing difficult tasks when I know they are doable (To give you some perspective, I've beaten

in Super Kaizo World 2 without savestates, each of which I spent around 6 hours trying to beat), so I don't really mind playing them.

Seeing the different ways I get trolled in each submission was actually the thing I liked the most about the contest. I'm one of those kinds of people who are cold and detached on the outside, but have a warm interior that longs for affection, so when someone manages to pull a move in their submission dickish enough to extract an emotion out of me, I actually feel like they care about me, so it gives me a sense of satisfaction and amusement. This is why I acted so enthusiastic at the end of Cedar Nyx's submission despite it taking about 3 hours or so to complete.

This is what really bothered me about the contest. I'm not a very responsible person, so when I feel like I'm obligated to do something, I don't enjoy it. When I got so many submissions for Ragefest I, I was actually really happy about it because the idea was fresh at the time and I didn't expect so many people to actually care, so that negative feeling of obligation really didn't apply to me.

And there you have it. Official closure.

[ThatGuyDownTheStreet]

Well, sorry to hear this. I already had some progress on this, but I recently stopped doing this because I wanted to do some other stuff. It was a good run.
