You guys have several of the best Let's Play writters in all of KKKodexia right there and you aren't taking it as a chance to convert at least some into incline, unrelenting incline? Epic fail, guys. This should change, nao. And I'm so nice and helpful I'm going to tell you how and why.
Set up a subforum for Let's Play threads. Inside that forum the image limit per post is removed, as Let's Play threads are image intensive. Your magical nazi moderators only need to keep check for threads other than Let's Play spawning there, and removing them at once to keep the purity of it all. Only a single non Let's Play thread, a sticky and regularly updated catalogue of all Let's Play threads itself, should be allowed once there are enough for that to be needed.
And that's it all. Soon enough you will have more movement here than you ever dreamed, as the LPers do what they do best, which is find weird and obscure games and play them for you to be entertained by their weird antics and colorful narration, for you to discover a new game you never heard about, or for you to facepalm your nose into your brain because of how ridiculous the chosen game is. The holy trinity of Let's Play.
I'll even give you a hug if you do it fast enough, and my hugs are on high demand so usually there's quite a backlog to go through. So, what are you waiting for? Hop to it, on the double!

I see this thread has been purified. Blasted moderation.
Anyways I completely support the notion of a full fledged LP subforum. It will do you (us?) good Watchers. Trust me.

Perhaps if you could write the title of the thread in english they might listen to your good idea.

I assumed the title was due to being non-english speaking or something. Hey, at least an apostrophe was used, and used well, but the rest looks kinda gibberish.

Let's not. Soon your precious Codex is back again so you can have your fun there.

Eh, I can understand that a) the suggestion's come with the Codexers and the ensuing culture clash and therefore may be considered unwelcome by some here without the consideration it deserves and b) any bandwith troubles may not be worth the bother, but in all seriousness, it's a good idea (though it has presumably been already discussed). These things tend to be communal fun, and useful; I've been encouraged to play a number of obscure-ish or offbeat games by the Playground.

Some of you also forget that all your images consume bandwidth which not only cost this site money, but also slows it down. Then you get problems with the site going down and oh dear......isn't that what happens over at the Codex?
Wicked Witch of Loliland

KKKodexia's problems are more database related, I believe, not bandwidth related.
Also, do the images consume the Watch's bandwidth if they are host somewhere else and just hotlinked? Like, if I have them on my dropbox wouldn't we be eating dropbox bandwidth instead?
Which is the entire pointy point of having dropbox.

if the pictures are posted at an image site the amount of traffic a LP generates is limited to the couple bytes for the image code... or do I understand the inner workings of the Internet wrong?
Myrthos
December 27th, 2011, 23:19
The reason the Codex was down every now and then was because the server collapsed as DU wasn't able or capable of updating the forums software to something that was not hogging the resources of the server.
We don't create forums unless there is substantial interest. Everyone is free to open up a thread for an LP session. If this turns out to be a great idea We'll put them in a separate forum. If it stops with a few threads, why bother.

@ Myrthos
Because Let's Play threads can't be written with a six images per post limit and I really, really doubt you want to remove the limit globally?
Myrthos
December 27th, 2011, 23:33
The limit was the default setting of the software, like several others we have. I went through the settings and changed some of them, including the image limit. It should not bother you anymore.
Entertain and teach us :)

They should do the site a favour and automatically put him on all users' ignore lists and not tell him. He'll just come back if he's banned.

Gee, can I sleep sometime? Those who don't sleep get ugly skin and… wrinkles! And fatness, too! Do you want an ugly, fat, wrinkly witch instead of a pretty little witch? Well, do you?
Now I see it… that's all I am to you, ain't I? A Let's Play machine! Never hugs, never cuddles, never really silly nicknames. Never heart shaped chocolates, cheesy poetry, nor roses sprayed blue either. Let's play during the day, then let's play during the night. You haven't even introduced me to your parents! You did promise, remember? No, of course you don't. It's all let's play to you. And if I get ugly skin, fatness, and wrinkles you'll just chuck me in the garbage and think nothing more about it.
So what about, like, let's play no more? It's over, you hear me? Like, totally over. Super duper double mega over. I'm going back to cook little children in the chicken legged hut grandma left me, as I should have been doing all along. Let's Play yourself from now on, that's why you have two hands. Hmpf.

Never hugs? Never cuddles? Why do you have to be so cruel? Don't you remember the time we spent together? The hugs I gave you, the emoticons I sent your way? All the memories we shared? Sorry, neko witch, I'm not a poet. I'll never be. But I love you, I really do. Take my… my word for it. For I… have nothing else to give. :'(
Let's play during the day, then let's play during the night.
I thought you enjoyed playing together during the night. :( Why do you have to kill me so?
You haven't even introduced me to your parents! You did promise, remember? No, of course you don't.
I do remember. It's just that… I… didn't want to tell you. So I… I had to lie. You see, this bee ain't got no parents. I'm an orphan bee. Part of the hivemind. Anonymous. Born without a name. Individualised only through my crookedness and wily ways. Now you know, but you won't take pity. I don't deserve your pity. I'm a crooked bee, after all. I'll rather go cry myself to sleep now, and dream of the sweet past, our past, not the merciless present.
So what about, like, let's play no more? It's over, you hear me? Like, totally over. Super duper double mega over.

You break my heart, o wicked witch. What am I to do with my hands now that you're gone? :(

I have some steamy lesbian gifs saved on my HDD. They just might become relevant enough for me to post them in a page or two.
Or perhaps not, as the fake cat is most likely a tomcat.

@ MiniKalos
Are you really going to call me a Tomboy when you know I am almost allergic to the very concept? You betray me, I see. I'll keep adding people to the list of citizens of Fair KKKodexia I thought were friendly but betrayed me, alright. It's not like I care or anything. :(
I'll go cry myself to sleep or something.

Hahaha. Alright, that was awesome.

I'm bored, i'm tired, I have been sleeping three hours a day for about a week, I feel like crap after all the festivities, it's summer and I get sick if I go out before nightfall in summer, I'm pretty depressed, and so it is either posting foolishly here while chatting on SMS with my friends who are actually having fun or studying metaphysics? ._.
You should have seen me in summer back when I was still active in Gaia Online and we actually got a small amount of gold for every single post we made.
And, to be honest, KKKodex-in-Watch is more fun than KKKodex itself ever was.

Since when relevance is mandatory ? Oh wait its the watch... post them anyway, they more likely will pretend to not see them :)
I know, post some with costumes, we can pretend it is larping, and therefore completely relevant to rpgs.

Since the Codex is back up again I'm afraid the Watch might never experience the real glory of LPs.
Maybe some of you want to come and visit some time to look into some LPs over at the Codex :-)

Once I have some time I will still make an RPGWatch Let's Play thread, just without the usual Codex vitriol, if they don't mind. They were pretty nice to us, particularly given how hard we tried to be a bother to them, and it's kind of disrespectful and stuffies to take advantage of someone's kindness when in need and just leave running and without even thanking them once you are done in needing help.

I liked your FFH2 LP.
Are you using the naval AI mod for your game?
I've been playing Master of Mana beta more than FFH2. It's a bit rough still, but it has some good ideas in it like no more stacks of doom.

December 29th, 2011, 02:50
Umm no really, I'm just running the plain FFH2 mod. I like to keep it simple, just a single continent , all ready for war. Erebus map set gave too many choke points, very, very easy for defensive civs to turtle up.
skavenhorde
December 29th, 2011, 03:32
In your next game you might want to try adding the More Naval AI mod. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=357824)It started out as a way to get the AI to make some damn ships, but now it's improved almost every aspect of the AI. It's easy to install, but it does act like a patch so if you don't like it you'll need to reinstall or just make a copy of the game before you patch. I don't play FFH2 without it.
