i'm also not sure if don even wants to return. don went to medical school i believe. his games were a distraction and he knew it. i guess like an alcoholic cant even be near alcohol don couldnt be near his games. i actually bought a small portion of his collection -- the gamecube to gameboy converter

Ah, thanks for the refresher. I do recall the sex offender / Facebook discussion now, so with the added tribunal background context, I have a fuller portrait. So yes, Jace banned Don, again Jace may not wish to revisit his decision, I overlooked the Dave connection to those bans so yeah, the "turning

new rule on sex offenders. after much complaint (and this might be preserved in the state of the galaxy thread, i dont think its a tribunal thread so it exists viewable somewhere on site) Jace justified his decision to not let us tribunalize sex offenders with many analogies. one of the analogies was

You need to understand tribunals. We could vote to restrict/silence people for x period of time. yes, those forums are now hidden. at one point before polls were used, and when likes were anonymous, likes of two different posts were used as votes. the like count was the vote. posts used to just say

if you saw the interview then you know don's feelings. it named "feelinga and stuff" not "facts and stuff" cause the focus is the person. unfortunatley, since the focus was his motives, some of the facts that his motives were based on, while well known to the target audience

Just a follow up - after you confirm your arcade settings along the lines cited in the MAME track, could you post them to this thread - could be as simple "it's the same as MAME", I'm just not 100% sure if the settings are "expressed" the same way on your actual arcade machine,

Thanks Barthax. Don said near the end of the interview that his "final" comment was in a tribunal, the tone of which he thought might get him banned. I assume that the Tribunal archive is removed from public view? I think one had to be at 2,000 cred to participate, and I finally reached the

Okay, I was thinking "early 80s" when I talked about DIPs - this PCB is menu driven, save for a single DIP for "freeze screen" (from what I can see on-line). In that case, Nurtuo, I would review your current settings including the Time Setting via the option menu - you could either

also, lower scores can sometimes encourage more competition than high scores, if the lower scores are more in the range that other people can match. too high discourages competition, too low discourages competion, but a near skill level encourages it. your submission just might launch a new wave of

there is one thing to take into account for preexisting games. if you name it at all differently, then it will appear as a seperate game. its preferable all tracks for the same game be listed under that game, but if the track creators name the gaame differently they can be split. this isnt a huge deal

I think the community can help out. I have some submission points lying around and would be glad to use them on a track.I would first ask that you compare the rules for the MAME track to see if they're applicable to Arcade. Also you'll want to confirm the DIP settings you want to use for the

there is a section for founding new tracks. it costs 10 submission points just to get the track listed as ready for funding. after you pay that initial 10, anyone else (including you) can pay the additiona 50submssion points. once the addition submission points are donated by any number of players the

pretty sure billy gave money to earlier iterations of tg, but acknowledging i'm functioning off hearsay and never saw receipts or anything like that.
don atreides was a 3 star member though, so he definitely gave money to the right to game campaign and is listed as a "founder" yet
