Re: Random game link failing
The slash is well encoded in the URI. Must be an issue in the rewrite module of Apache.

Re: Clarification about conversions
We are, of course, limited by the existing structure of the database.
Were you to design a reference source for text adventures, from the ground up (rather than a solutions site), then you would create a system so that each version of the game could be listed on the game page with the relevant ...

Re: hi all
Hello and welcome, urbanghost! Nice to hear from someone who is so dedicated at playing (experiencing) games instead of just putting them on a shelf for collection purposes

Re: Genre Suggestions
Wordplay. I had thought that Nord and Bert Couldn't Make Head or Tail of It was a one off but I am now aware of another game - Under, In Erebus - that utilises wordplay based puzzles.
Two examples are not enough to create a new genre but if anyone knows of any more please list them. With enough ...

Exactly.The danger we have is that, like many clubs, is that that loudest voices make the rules, often to the detriment of the real target audience.

Re: Competition Entries etc. (split from "Genre Suggestions")
You didn't write it. Others did.
It honours you that you consider how not to scare away users. But this goes both ways, too. After all, all those speed IF games were entered by someone. You can choose which death to die here.

Re: Competition Entries etc. (split from "Genre Suggestions")
"Interactive fiction" = marketing term used in the 1980s by infocom. So hardly an good term to distinguish something from the "classic age".

Re: Competition Entries etc. (split from "Genre Suggestions")
Jacob, you say you have to update the "about" section. Sorry, to what? I don't catch your decision. If there is indeed any. On (non-)inclusion of games? On how to organize the information present on the site? (Related, but distinct questions.)

Re: Competition Entries etc. (split from "Genre Suggestions")
I propose removing all non-illustrated pure text games from the database. Because, you know, I have asked around with my personal friends and nobody plays them. What's worse, inquired further, nobody could even imagine giving them a chance. For games with some accompanying graphics, some showed ...

Re: Genre Suggestions
Some interesting points here. But does anyone really play and enjoy Speed IF or competition games?
Is that a serious question? Sorry to disappoint you, but each year's IF Competition is pretty much the only games I play nowadays.
It should be pretty obvious that those games are much more played ...

Re: A question for everyone who has recently submitted information to CASA
Not sure why this would be the case. Could you post the URI of the page you still saw this message on?
