Rotghroth Rhapsody Duck in a Top Hat Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 If anyone is interested in beta-testing my new scenario, Turn That Frown Upside-Down 2, please post the name you'd like to be credited with, and your email address. Here are the details: Towns: 5 Outdoor Sections: 2 Suggested Level: 5-10 You should probably play Turn That Frown Upside-Down before you apply to test, but I'm not going to make it required. Also, to clear up any questions about my last scenario: I decided it wasn't worth releasing because of a large amount of suckishness. I intend to remake it completely in the future.

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I approve of that idea. Oh yeah, and I owe you two beta reports, so count me in. Credit: Master Ackrovan Email: ackrovan@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Why do people (at) always (dot) do that? There's never a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, it prevents bots from noticing (for lack of better word) your e-mail address, but I might be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk The Knight Who Said Ni Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yes, it does, I think as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 That is the idea, to prevent bots that troll the internet from reading your e-mail address and putting you in a spam database. This may have been a good idea 5-10 years ago, and probably still is, but today I'm skeptical that doing it will really foil bots. It's not too much more difficult to look for various strings and to stitch an e-mail address together. That said, you will save yourself from the primitive ones, so probably still a practice to be encouraged. The real line of defense these days comes from spam filters.

Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It is a simple measure which theoretically protects against the dumber address harvesters. It's far from perfect, as any programmer worth his salt could capture addresses from the more common methods of obscuration, but the theory is, in part, that people writing address harvesters for spam operations may well not be worth any salt.

Garrulous Glaahk The Knight Who Said Ni Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Ok, I tested the Empire ending and the Smiley ending and both worked. Things I noticed were- Water- you have no walls for "the vale" so all you see is water at worlds end Your top hat tells the history of the keep, just to let you know I'm not sure if this was the intended function. -Ni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
