To be honest I prefer forums rather than mail based lists. If all the

of the email clutter.

Hi Aiden,

A mailing list allows members to post messages which are broadcast to
all of 
the other mailing list members via email. The application you use for
this 
is your email application. An Internet forum (also frequently known as 
message board) is an application on a website which allows people to
post 
messages that can be seen by either members of the forum (people who 
registered with the forum) or visitors - this depends on the forum
settings. The forum we use at AudioGames.net is, as far as we know,
fully accessible. 
It has been in use by visually impaired users for several years now and 
never have received any accessibility complaints. Most fora on the
internet 
are more or less accessible because they're primarily text-based.
However, 
many fora allow people to post inaccessible content, such as images
without 
alt-attributes (=text descriptions of the image) or multimedia without
an 
accessible alternative). This doesn't make the forum itsself
inaccessible, 
but parts of the posts can be inaccessible. For our forum we wrote a
script 
to check whether or not the poster has added an alt-attribute, and if
not he 
will receive a notification of this in text under his image. For
multimedia 
we don't have such a solution yet. Fortunately, about 99.9% of all the
posts 
on the AudioGames.net forum are text so no worries ;)

Here it is: http://forum.audiogames.net/

Greets,

Richard

 hi dark,

 Just a quick question. How accessible is the audio games forum, and 
 what's the difference between a forum and a mailing list? I've never 
 quite understood what the difference is.

 Hi Tom.

 with reguards to audiogames.net, it is actually being updated at the 
 moment, and will hopefully be both completely up to date and able to 
 keep up with community changes soon. but obviously sinse it's not 
 been updated for a while there's a fair amount of work to be done. 
 Hopefully in a few weeks there should be pages for most games with 
 download links and descriptions and such, - but it is quite a 
 task stil.

 Just to clarrify, the download links on the game pages are mostly 
 links
 to
 download the files from the appropriate sites,  and like
everything
 else
 they are being updated.

 there are plans in the works I believe to host old games like the Pb 
 stuff, Simon's games from http://www.simonsgames.com/news.php and 
 some others, 
 obtaining old versions of abandoned games where possible as well.

 About the mirror, I think it's a good idea if you've got the space, 
 sinse A, I'm not sure when things on audiogames.ent will be running 
 smoothly, and you
 can never be too careful with these things, and as munawar said
mirrors
 could be great for devs and others amd file hosting (blind cool tech 
 stil!
 haven't posted my long Smugglers 3 review, and I'd love to hoast it
 somewhere), not to mention quicker downloads.

 Also, if you've got perminant web space, perhaps you could considder 
 hosting the superdeakout scoreboards, and the word list databases for

 search party
 and chain link, so that people will stil be able to submit scores and

 make
 and share new word chains etc,  of course this is assuming that
 changing
 the program to point to Usa games rather than DanZ games wouldn't be
too
 much trouble (I was assuming you could just cp the address, but I'm
not
 sure).

 Beware the Grue!

 Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] STFC 2.

2008-04-17 Thread Darren Haris
Actually I liked ds9, because ok yes it was based on a war theme by the
end of it, still, even in the most peaceful places there is still going
to be the threat of war from somewhere. Even if earth never actually
felt the apressions of war, someone has to. There will always be someone
who wants what you have or is afraid enough of you to try and get rid of
you 1 way or other. The founders fear of solids because of how they were
treated by the solids in their part of space, etc etc there's a lot of
things you could take from ds9. personally I think it was very well
written.

Hi Dark,
Well, technically both the Enterprise, NCC-1701-E, and the Defiant were 
created for more military type adventures. This is in large part do to 
the drastic changes in story line between Star Trek Next Generation and 
Deep Space 9. The Star Trek producers gave Star Trek a more violent and 
war-like story line which nearly killed Star Trek for most long-time 
viewers. The story focussed less on space exploration and more about the

Dominion War and conflicts in the galaxy. With the introduction of Star 
Trek Voyager the producers realized long-time Trek fans, such as myself,

enjoyed deep space exploration more than war, and Voyager saved what was

good about classic Star Trek by focusing the entire series on deep space

exploration and moroal issues that applies to us today.
With the original Star Trek series, released in the 60's, the concepts 
behind the stories are definitely a product of the times. Most people 
were worried about the war in Vietnam, and the Star Trek producers 
dreamed of a brighter happier future for mankind. One where mankind 
reaches for peace, love, and searched for knowledge.
While there were certainly military conflicts in the original series 
such as the Tholian Web, the Dooms Day Machine, and battles with the 
Romulans, etc most of the stories were about time travel and 
exploration. The City On the Edge Of Forever, where Kirk, Spock, and 
McCoy travel back to 1930's America, tries to show us that we will have 
to suffer much before we can learn to live peacefully as one race. Other

shows like Space Seed, where the Enterprise rescues a lost shuttle and 
discovers it is full of genetically engineered outlaws from 21st century

Earth, shows what greed, hate, and the desire for power will do to 
mankind if it is not curved. While the shows were created with a Sci-fi 
bent there are some deep messages behind the stories.
When Star Trek  Next Generation was released in the late 1980's it tried

to carry on moral lessons as well as an exploration/Sci-fi theme. Sure 
there are some really cool war-like battles such as the fight against 
the Borg at the Battle of Wolf-359, the Klingon civil war, etc. However,

like the classic Star Trek the Next Generation series was really about 
people and their personal problems with a Sci-Fi theme.
In the show Sin's Of The Father they introduce Warf's x-wife, her desire

to reunite with Warf, their unrequited love for each other, and then in 
an act of greed and hate Duras murders her before Warf and his x can 
come to a resolution of their personal problems.
In a lot of TNG shows they get into deep moral and theological debates 
about Data. Even though he is an android is he a new type of life form, 
should he have all the rights as a human being, at what point does 
machines become like humans, Data's desire to be human, Data's desire 
for a family of his own, etc.
One of the deepest and saddest lessons TNG offers is in Star Trek 10. I 
find it interesting that Data, aanandroid, he who wanted to be human, 
was able to be most human of all at the end of his life. He was able to 
show true heroism and self-sacrifice that is legendary. Knowing Picard 
was going to be killed Data rescued Picard, and died in Picard's place. 
There is a saying that there is no greater love than this than lay down 
your life for a friend. If so it is the mark of a true hero, and even 
though these are only made up characters we should not take such heroes 
in real life for granted.
I can clearly remember sitting at the theater when Star Trek 10 was 
still playing at the movies, and my momentary shock, sorrow, and 
emotional attachment to that seen. I really thought Deanna Troi's 
performence carried the moment really well. The grief stricken look she 
gives as she stairs out into space in an instant of shock and grief 
knowing one of her life-long friends was gone. That is not the first 
time the STNG series had been able to get an emotional responce out of 
its audience.
I can remember beeing around 10 or 11 years old when the TNG show, Skin 
of Evil, was first broadcast on TV. At first the show seamed like an 
ordinary weekly epasode. Troi's shuttle crashes, the Enterprise shows up

to rescue her, but

Re: [Audyssey] My responce to Michael Feir.

2008-03-23 Thread Darren Haris
Hi Thomas, 

Well I've read some of this whole debate with quite a bit of dismay. Not
on your part you're doing no more or less than what you can do. It was
only a matter of time before someone clicked on to people making clones
of games. It was never a question of whether it would happen it was
always a question of when. I'm not saying whether it's right or wrong,
I'm purely saying that it was a matter of time. 

As for the side scroler vs the fps type games, well you'll never have a
clear winner there because you'll always get those who favour 1 or
other. And this is the problem people ill always have. Personally I
haven't played a good side scroler for years and would enjoy seeing what
you come up with. So I will weight and see what you come up with before
I pass judgement. 

But I do have to say that I am rather dismayed at the immature responses
that people have given out on this list of late. I mean come on guys if
this was a mainstream gaming forum the majority of you would have been
told to shut up or be banned. So think yourselves lucky that you're
still on this list. I'm a member of http://www.egosoft.com forums and
believe me if the sorts of language and stupid responses were used on
there that I've seen here then trust me the mods would just ban the lot
of you.

Hi,

just in case you haven't heard about it, there is a new stargate M M O
RPG game that just came out this month. It is a turnbased online game
with 4 classes of characters. It is free but there does seem to be
something about paying for some things. Kind of like sryth. For more
info you can go to

I don't know how accessible it is. I plan on joining in the future, but
not now. If anyone tries the game , please report back what you find
