EDIT:
Giveaways over. Might add a few more tomorrow or so.


So... thought a lot about making a thread about this or not and oh well... here it is.
First things first:

  1. The cake is a lie... FOR NOW, CHILL! :'(
  2. The train is NOT a lie... Check TL;DR... although if you could also read the rest, that would be kinda nice.

As for the rest... well, megalomania is megalomania. Crazy idea of big-ass puzzle train in the works for upcoming cake day, that's been draining most of my spare time (and you wouldn't believe me if i told you for how long). Ugh... :/
Which has led me to miss out on a lot of past cake days in the past weeks and some other awesome events people have made (sorry about that, been super busy and should be even more so till upcoming deadline).
No over-hyperino though, please, i just hope i can deliver in time, as time is pressing and closing in. Don't expect all AAA games either. I'm not made of money.
Not enough slots for full idea completion... yet. Hence small train with a few more modest bundle gibs to open up more slots.


IF (and it's a big if, trust me) i have enough time, to go along with the puzzle train, there should be a sort of SG-Parody .
Should that happen, users will be made fun of (or something like that), all in good spirit... as a hommage.
It's for a good cause... THE PLOT. :P

Now, again... should that happen, every username will still be twisted into something else... a caricature, if you will (for the obvious reasons, mostly).
That said, i would still like to point out that some of the users appearing as NPCs in aforementioned parody, i've had little to no interaction with. It's no less of a hommage on my behalf though.
No username (or its caricature, to be more precise) will be mentioned with malicious intent. Unless you're Bear. :3
If you feel you have any feud with me, trust me, your username (caricature or not) will not be on it. If it is, then it's a small token of appreciation for whichever positive contribution you've made towards the community, not the opposite.

Also, don't take it to heart if you're not in it, when push comes to shove. :'(
There's only so much time i have... and so many ideas i can come up with that suit the plot, etc. and such and such. :'(
If i do manage to get at least 80% of what i had planned actually done, you'll (hopefully) understand much better as to why it is so time consuming to include each and every user that has been included, when the time comes.

But what i wanted your feedback on... is this:

Would you think there's any way for you or other users to find the parody offensive, even after my explanation (and said use of caricatures instead of real usernames)?
Regardless of whether you're gonna be (or already are) on it or not, can you share any info (literally anything) regarding the genesis of your nickname? Pwease? :3
Don't be shy... if you could muster the courage to post your mugshot on eeev's thread, it's not that much to ask... :P
It's not that easy to make a caricature of some usernames, without background. :/
And context... context helps. Yes, context. Context is nice.


Sidenote:

The Blacklist... don't want to delve too deep into this, but to avoid drama (not the other way around)...
Sadly mine has grown a bit more than i had ever anticipated, gonna be honest... and i take no joy in it, believe it or not. :/
But please avoid BL drama, if not for me, for the sake of others who surely don't want to sift through toxicity in this thread.
I kindly ask people to avoid BL drama amongst themselves as well... and other type of drama in this thread, for that matter.

That said...
In that regard, and in the same spirit of positivity and open mindedness, I'm willing to listen to people willing to talk to me about being in my blacklist, if they wish to do so.

But i won't do it here, sorry. You can add me on steam if you really wish to do so.
And i'll be completely upfront so i won't waste your time lying to your face. If there's no chance of you getting out of said BL, i'll tell you right off the bat, but won't contribute to any naming and shaming, so will only express my reasoning through steam chat, should you still want to hear it.

The vast majority there i really don't see a way out of it for them, but if you feel you've been dealt with unfairly, then just please proceed as i said. It's really not a big request from me, nor a big concession from you.

It's the first time i've opened that door, and i'm not expecting people to bow down or kiss the ring or whatever ill-conceived low expectation you may have of me. I'd rather not open that door at all for that. Trust me, don't, it's your call, but be respectful of the whole environment here at least.
And i won't put up with abuse either, got better things to do with my life and so should you. Talk to me respectfully and i will do the same.


TL;DR:
The train. Yes, yes, i know, gibs. :)
Don't expect much at this point though, it's what i can for the time being, considering i'm not made of money and am hoping to save better stuff for upcoming cake day.

Thx 4 train and the hommage.

I found the little story working mostly well although abrupt at times. Like while training it starts to rain. But no it pours even. Wait its also pure acidic rain too. Bit over the top. But hilarious nevertheless. You could have reordered WayOfThePixelatedFist and the one before a bit to make it part of the dojo substory. The story btw didn't feel like stargate but more like Douglas Adam's workings.

ZooZov, I'm dropping in late. It was quite a long read and it's summer and I was away for most of the weekend.
I like your idea very much and don't think anything coudl offend me as long as things run in okay-ish and reasonable circumstances.
There's not much of a secret surrounding my username. It's the short form of my real name and as my Steam username (ev) was already taken I extended it a bit with a few more e's

Oh... i hate to break it to you...
You don't have a choice, you're on it! And already a great idea for it... All i can say is it's gonna be epic. :P
Good luck guessing your character though, will you be one of the good guys (girls in this case:P), or not? ;D

Seriously though, thanks for the feedback, eeev. :)
