True, although I keep picture what the artist would look like alongside the picryres we have of the hacker and troll. For some reason it just looks believable. With the beret and goatee in a beatnik style. Wearing a purple shirt with black slacks. I just picture it so well.

Just curious… why did he want to call it “The Suit”.

It would have a been a mature, intelligent, businesslike user. Hence, “The Suit.” But I’m open to suggestions. Smart Aleck isn’t bad.

To the OP, great post, signed, but don’t expect it anytime soon. Apparently we have to “improve the game” first. Log in to see images!

It’s like he took the words out of your mouth.

Why?

It will become worse than Forumbuildr really quickly Log in to see images!

I’m looking forward to someone named LolItrolledu with the clbum male reproductive organmale reproductive organmale reproductive organbum********blahblahblah

A ClbumBuildr would be a good idea if it was a lot slower than forumbuildr, ie once or twice a year.

Ah, well, while you’re trying to improve the game, I happened to have already written stumbled across a list of ways to fix flamebate.

A ClbumBuildr would be a good idea if it was a lot slower than forumbuildr, ie once or twice a year.

In order to be really good, it would have to be a very slow process. Something like:

Step 1: Call for submissions goes out.

Step 2: CZ goes through the submissions and chooses the ten (arbitrary number) best ideas.

Step 3: Players vote on which of those ten they like the best, that’s the next clbum.

Step 4: A call for concepts for equipment and skills goes out.

Step 5: CZ picks through the submissions and chooses their favorites.

Step 6: Players vote on which of CZ’s favorites are the best.

Step 7: CZ tweaks the numbers on the skills and equipment, and viola new clbum.

It could be good, but it would require a significant degree of oversight in order to not detract from the game. It doesn’t matter so much if there are ****ty ideas for forums in the game, as new players who would potentially be turned off by something lame might not see them for days if not weeks. On the other hand, everybody sees all the clbumes almost immediately, so a lame clbum could potentially hurt the appeal of the game.

Clbum design doesn’t seem like something that can be done well collaboratively. Also, how many Buildr ideas do we have now? What will someone propose next, BuildrBuildr?

Right now we have 1. Forumbuilder.

Itembuilder is still in the works.

And BuildrBuildr is a great idea.

“Pedant” is a much better term than “Suit”.

Though “Suit” would make a fine clbum by its more vernacular definition: A “Suit” in my mind is a corporate shill who pwns forums by trying to change the topic to THAT AWESOME NEW MOVIE FROM MIRAMACKS!

I like this idea better.
