http://elementguild.nfshost.com/ Progress of the site you can watch there as I update it and stuff. Very barebones right now, but it is a fully functional blog (although it has a few bugs). I need to make it so that the boxes scale depending on how much content is inside of them, does anyone know how to do that? [hide=Coding]Thought you guy's would be interested on how it's going so far. So I've started the coding process. Since I have no experience at all with PHP I have been following a tutorial and, essentially, am going to be modifying it to my needs. (this is the tutorial I am using for those who are interested). Right now I'm mostly just worrying about getting some basic blogging capabilities and a competent layout before I start and try and add all these cool widgets and stuff. Good thing is once I get the template done adding content should be pretty [bleep]ing easy. [hide=CODING PROGRESS IMAGE][/hide] That is a browser shot of what I have so far. Do please ignore the messed up repeating background, I screwed up the crop and it is very low on my list of things to work on, haha. I'm actually pretty proud of this so far, in a few days I've gone from no PHP knowledge at all to actually getting close to having a decent template with it! I would post the code if you all were interested but most of it is like what the tutorial is, just a bit modified (and my CSS sheet I made before hand, so I'm a bit ahead of the tutorial in that aspect haha). But yeah, I'm having fun with this. It's cool being able to have a working search bar and all this other stuff so far. [/hide] [hide=old]WIP3: To do: . Clean up the main content box. I don't like the gradients there currently, but I'm trying to think of a suitable way to handle it. this is a big area of concern right now. . Flavor. I want to make sure that the site isn't just a bunch of text, so I'll be trying to implement stuff like what you currently see next to the names on the side (which are an online/offline indicator and a "pm" function, respectively) . suitable background. I know, it's lolhexagons right now. I kind of actually like how it looks, but I'll probably improve on it. . Typography. Right now I really dislike the typography I have done, I'll have to switch it up a bunch. Any suggestions for fonts is welcome (I'm using Arial and Raavi currently) [/hide] [hide=WIP2]Phew, ok. After giving it a bunch of thought and consideration I have a (hopefully much better) WIP2 up. This is on my list "to-do" Those are my 3 main concerns right now. (and, yes, the width is not larger than 960 for the layout. I just added in some extra room to see what a background would look like)[/hide] [hide=OLD]Another project of mine which probably will go no where. :) My goal is to try and make a replacement site for http://element.guildhosting.org/index.p ... e&Itemid=1 , my current Aion guild's web site. Now as a whole it isn't a terrible looking site -- sure the banner is a bit bad, but it looks pretty cool I have to say. However the problem is it's a guild template sort of thing, and I want to see what I can do by personalizing one. :) I'm using a similar layout but trying to mix it up a bit. Right now everything is pretty much just text, very little images so do understand that when giving C/C. (I'll have a more fancy looking vent thing and recruitment status, ect. soon) (ps: the banner is a 5 minute WIP which is a mismatch of some Aion concept art from the fankit I threw together, alongside of our guilds logo who another designer in the guild came up with) The background will probably end up changing as well as the links will end up looking better. :P[/hide]

I'm just saying I'd much rather see something interesting rather than a Runescape costume. You have to have something with a camera on it, even a cell-phone. I mean if you're selling this stuff for $500-$5000 I want to see what it is like.

I always thought that would be cool, just find out some dude you've known frequented a forums you visited. I've actually been probably close, or at least in the same area, as some people on TIF -- like I know this summer I was close to a friend of Dizzles I think in D.C. I didn't do anything today at all, really boring day. Went to a party on Friday which was fun though. Found out I'm really lucky at [bleep] the Dealer (I guessed the correct card twice in a row, first was my guess than I told the person next to me the right number to guess.). Poor dude had to drink 20 times. :lol:

Probably because you were playing a 32 man server. I mean with kritz and that many people you can fire randomly and still get a couple kills. Anyone who says kritz is useless has never used it right. Well yeah, of course it was. Still even on a small match it's crazy useful, much more so than an uber IMO (which I really only like uber for taking out sentries). Also I normally don't post scores, but I had to for this: [hide=][/hide] I beat a couple of records that round. New record for spy includes 34 points, 14 backstabs in one life. :thumbup: Using C&D the entire time on defense. Had a few close calls but I love hoodoo for spy.

Probably last update for this design, getting a little bored of it and want to do something else, haha. Took some of the advice and upped the leading on a lot of text and spread some stuff out. Switched to a darker themed background again because I like that better.

I doubt many people use it only 10 seconds or so of crits and if you die or they die well thats your answer. If you're trying to say kritz is bad, you're wrong. When I play soldier I would much rather a kritzreig than an uber on myself. Decent soldier can get a ton of kills in those 10 seconds (enough time for 4 rockets and a couple of shotgun shots). I would use kritz as a medic, but I never play medic.

Bull-[cabbage]. If one of the detectors go off, the people standing at the front will automatically treat you like you are a criminal. HELL no. The detectors at the mall go off on you whenever you have any merchandise from GameStop. If you have a GameStop bag the people just wave you on and go back to reading a magazine. I used to shoplift little things, might do it again. Like the other guy, I don't want praise, I just do it. It's almost instinctive for me. From what I heard employees at a place like wal-mart don't even have the right to go stop you if you just walk out and the detector beeps. It's sort of sad really.

What I meant isn't that there aren't goals in other games but they have more to do than just simple "grind x" goals like runescape. Pretty much all of that game is based around getting your "goals" done for your skills, hence things like Rate This, a leaderboard, blogscape... All tracking the amount of XP and skills you get. Thats a tad off topic though.

The difference between RS and tv is that you can turn the tv off whenever, you don't set yourself goals. I beleive that people addicted to RS are just looking for something to give them a sense of accomplishment and it is a lot easier to get that through a computer.. Im gunna quit RS straight off.. You can turn a game off at any time too. Afterall with TV there is always things to keep you in a bit longer (oh I'll stop watching after this show is over, oh hey the next episode looks really good) where as the game will always be there where you left it. That being said trying to put in Runescape's name for any online game is pretty bad, because all RS is is about goals. Games outside of it are a lot different.

Not to be rude but I'd rather you show off all this cool stuff you're talking about and not a cardboard cutout of a runescape item. You keep talking about all of this high quality stuff you make yet we haven't seen any of it yet.

Was just thinking the same thing.

For me it's depends entirely on the bands. For me i'll barely be affected or it will change the way I play RB majorly for the better. So yeah, pretty much the same as me. If we get a bunch of metal bands on board it should be awesome. :P

Dead Ringer trick doesn't work anymore IIRC.

Yeah it's pretty [bleep]ing odd. So awesome though, I'm still listening to the album.

I'm sure it's been pointed out, but how do you guys feel about the Rock band network that is coming out? Depending on what kind of bands take advantage of it I may get back into rock band a bunch, because the idea sounds awesome.

Yeah it is. I'm halting getting the ambassador headshotting sniper one though, just because it's really pissing me off right now haha. I'll wait for it last. (I'm like 26/30 spy achievements). haha i have all the spy achievements except for the sniper headshot one and sap auter(halfway there). For the skullpluggery one i just need 5 more headshots but i never use the ambassador and when i do i just headshot then bodyshot them, so no headshot kill. I still think you should get a half point for a headshot, even if it doesn't kill, and it goes on the stats as a headshot. yeah my problem is that I have to bodyshot then headshot them to get the achievement, or headshot one that is low on health. It's really annoying and not worth carrying around the ambassador for. I'm still doing the sap one too, taking forever. I don't have: For Your Eyes Only The Man from P.u.n.c.t.u.r.e On her majesty's secret surface Sap Auter Skullpluggery A few of them actually shouldn't be too hard to get , I just haven't actually tried too hard to get them.

People don't pirate because it's free. They pirate because they happen to like what they're downloading. Don't let the price tag fool you. That doesn't make any sense.

Fixed. :lol: Also anyone who uses Natascha is a [bleep], srsly. It's such an annoying weapon. Oh and not to criticize but ambassador is terrible. One headshot can't even kill a [bleep] sniper. I use... Cloak and Dagger Sandman Blutsauger Ubersaw KGB Sandvich Fire axe Bonk! Razorback (I should switch to jarate really) [/hide] Still the ambassador ruins the point of the Razorback and when they don't have that a backstab is easy. The spy having a gun in general kinda ruins the point of the razorback. True. In all honesty I really only use the razorback because there are enough bad spys out there that I can react before they shoot me. It's so much faster to shoot 2-3 times with the revolver though than wait for the ambassador's "recharge". If you hit the first headshot...which isn't hard on a sniper...why would you wait for the recharge? Meh, I still find it faster with the normal revolver. Pretty much every good spy I know uses it and not ambassador.

The bar room!! Well as long as your dad isn't around.

Showing a movie only you bought to friends is the same as pirating. Burning a copy of a CD for a friend is the same as pirating. Showing a video to a classroom without the proper license is the same as pirating. :) And I see nothing wrong with your "example", unless the person tried to sell the copy of the book.

Shhhh :shame: I don't even really play scout though lol. I only use FaN because it pisses people off XD.

Yeah on that track now. Really sick album so far. :thumbup:
