That would be ammusing, would it not? I'm voting for who I nominated, too. Which, obviously, is you :D .

Chapter 8-2: Weapons - Guns is now available. It's a long but great read. Trust me; reading is much easier than writing :D . 1 hour of work was put into this chapter. Enjoy.

Off Topic: Thanks man. I didn't expect to be nominated :D . Also, I gotta update my Zombie Survival Thread. Ok, Weapons, weapons. My 77mm, 30 calibre hunting rifle will help me think, just need to find it... Now where did dad find it :D .

I hope thats not as wrong as it sounds... Anyway, I'll be doing a heap of work so I should have it finished in, hopefully, an hour or two.

Well, I can't nobody has done this yet because I nominate Kiriashi for either October, November or both if thats possible. For; -Most Active -Most Helpful -Trend Setter; because ever since he became an "Activity Whore", there has been a lot more posts, don't you think?

Well, I've been toying with the Transitions and think I have nearly mastered it. Anyhow, I've also been making the button input process and have made a few cool systems. For example, I can easily use it to make the movement setting of WASD. Some people prefer that over arrow keys for no apparent reason :D . I've also done a heap of other cool things, including a detailed tutorial for every system that the demo includes. If you have anything you'd like me to add just say so. Should be finished soon. Also, you'll have to wait to see the awesome 'Sprint and Jump system'... Damn... I just told you didn't... Ah well... you're not getting any information about the totally awesome, super advanced... wait... I'm not telling you that! Hahaha!

Ah, Kiriashi, I've been expecting you :D . I thought you would be the first to post. I am currently working on a complete tutorial to explain the "Button Input Process" Event, just as you asked in Requests. I've done some tests and I should be able to use 1 switch, 1 event, 1 common event and 2 variables to create a 8-directional movement system. Also, it will have some other cool stuff but it won't be posted here. It will have its own awesome topic :D . Well, most likely the first thing to be posted here will be a character-graphics selection system. It will be pretty cool. Backgrounds included :D . Maybe we could include it in The Collector if Polraudio likes it. After I post it I will send a PM to Polraudio with a link to the topic. Also, hope your RMXP school thingo goes well. If you are looking for some weekly advanced-eventing you can always call me :D . I'll remove the userbar and add the one you have just so that it will spread (only slightly, though. Most people probally have already seen if from reading one of your 2000 posts or so. Can't wait until you reach 3000 :D . I'll throw you a party, the drinks on me :D ).

Tomo2000's Eventing Tutorials Well, basically, when I got nothing to do I play around with the eventing capabilities of RMXP. Most of the time I make something cool and useful and will post it here. If you like anything here please give me rep. Please Note: considering the old eventing tutorials no longer had working links (and that my new computer doesn't have them), I have removed them from here just as not to make it look like there is 4+ when, in fact, there's only a few working ones. Anyway, enjoy :alright: Horror-Game Mechanic I A very simple horror game mechanic. This one is played on a continuous loop just to show the player the whole idea of the system, but can be implemented as a one-time use for any horror game. Judging on the players direction, it makes the event (in this case, a ghost) remain directly behind him/her. Enjoy :alright: Horror-Game Mechanic I at Mediafire If you find this system helpful please give me rep. More will be added soon

Glad you liked it, CJBoy. Requests fill in the time between Hope Afloat and other small test projects.

Well, I'll be getting the full version of VX in a while and think that more things to do with VX would be great. Also, I think that the numbers of active members are dwindling. I'm constantly active and see about 5-8 new members but only see about 2-3 of them ever log in. This might be just to download demos or other materials. I remember signing up to download 'Outlaw City' and then posted like there was no tomorrow :D . I would say something about zombies, although this might count, but I don't want to put a joke on the whole "like theres no tomorrow" thing. Anyway, I think the new upgrades will be awesome. Thanks.

I decided to add a small section in the "How" section. Here it is if you can't find it:

Yeah, but Leon is EPIC when it comes to scripting. But one of the main things is that most things that can be done with Scripting can be done with eventing. That's what I want to do; I can't script but I can, basically, do the equivilent with Eventing. I think, if me and Leon would make a game as a team, we would make a pretty kick-ass game :D . Also, Kiriashi, nice map. Thanks a lot. I've replaced my link with yours. Thanks again, I'll be sure to credit you. Maybe you should be given some rep :D . + Rep. Thanks Kiriashi. Hope CJBoy likes it.

CJBoy's Request; Cheat System Download Link to Unencrypted Archive: http://www.mediafire.com/?gl434dnhkkx ^Credit to Kiriashi for the awesome map How it's done: All that had to be done for this was add a new character with no name that wouldn't appear in the party. This is done by using a "Parallel Process" with nothing but the command "Change Party Member: Remove []". It said remove "[]" because the character has no name, this is so that people don't have to keep backspacing over-and-over which I find really annoying. The event, which is the switch, that makes you input the cheat looks like this: The Self-Switch A just takes it to a page where if you talk to it it says that "You have already inputted the cheat code and cannot do it again". That's it . If anybody, including CJBoy, finds this topic helpful please give me rep.

Our friends have a block of land about 40 minutes drive from Childers, QLD, Australia. We're allowed on it anytime we want because we are good friends with them. Anyway, we had one of those campervan foldable tent things there that we folded up and was there for about a month. Underneath there was, litterally, about 200 big black moths about the size of your fist. My dad sprayed out all the moths and about 15 minutes later a big black spider about the size of the spider, and looks like it too, in the photo below: [Trying to find better image] It looked similar and I can remember the size but apart from that I don't know if it had markings on it or anything because my brain just went static, I screamed and ran. Any idea what it is? Also, while looking for a photo (my entire body tingles when I take a look at this one)on google images I came across this one: Any idea what this one is? I havn't ever seen one (thank god) and thats probally what drives my curiosity to find out what it is.

I afraid spiders, really afraid of them, but find them the most interesting of insects. I really love this thread. + Rep. I hope you update soon!

Has anybody elses browser crash after making a post? Mine does but at least the post is still made. Is this possible to fix?

Yay! It's finally back! I love it. The skin used before this one sometimes crashed my browser which caused me to not be able to post in certain topics but now its all better :D . The SEO system works fine to me, I never really had a problem with either one. Good job :D . Edit: Man I love this happy face :D .

Welcome back Marked! Great to see you back. Quite a lot has happened, as previously stated. For one we've had quite a lot of new members but most disappeared after signing up. Leon, sadly, is gone. I saw him online a week or so ago but that was it. He might be back and the only reason I say this is because he never posted a "Good-Bye" topic, or at least one I didn't see. Once again, it's great to see you back. Also, there is an error in Admin posts. If you notice there is a big gap between their posts before either the next post or their own sig. Can this be fixed?

I'm sorry, I've been looking over all the eventing but for some reason can't seem to find out what the problem is. It usually just repeats text over and over again. I'll give you all a link to it (Mind you I havnt worked on it in quite some time) and only completed the red spheres but it is still prone to glitches which I have no idea why. http://www.2shared.com/file/9022482/4f67a2e7/For_Miles_Castea.html Here it is. Hope this helps.

Didn't expect that ending the that short story did ya :D . I thought of a story with that plot ages ago but never really had time to work with the idea until now. Thanks for the comment.

I was in the hospital with Azure when Agckuu walked in. When he exited I had a quick conversation with Azure. "Of herbal origin?" I said, "Hmm... I wonder," Azure stared at me for a moment, "You like dark and spooky places, right?" I nodded. "Well," she said, "There was a small trace of the poison in the basement. You might want to check there." I smiled, "Thank you," I said, "I'll get right on it." I left the hospital and headed back to the RMXPU Halls. When I reached the basement the door was locked. "How odd..." I mumbled to myself. I made a claw grow from my fingertip and used it to pick the lock. Once inside I found what I was looking for; a few test tubes, a bunsen burner, a clamp and a stand. I jotted down in a notepad of mine, "Found scientific gear in basement," 3 out of 4 of the test tubes were full. One was empty however. I took one and scanned it. The scans showed that 35% was of Atroquinnine Botolinum, the poison extracted from the herb. I scanned the others with the same results. "How odd," I said again, "You would need at least 95% to make a good kill with this... unless..." I was cut off after I heard footsteps. I walked into the shadows emitted from the walls and instantly blended in; invisible to the naked eye. A shady figure only wearing a full robe, hood and Opera Mask entered. He, or she, walked up to the stand, took a test tube and walked out with it. Another murder attempt? I thought. I only had 2 test tubes to try and find out how they could have killed somebody and time was running out. There had to be some kind of pathegen in something that reacted with the Atroquinnine Botolinum and amplified its quantity. But what? P.S. Happy Birthday Formlesstree4!

"Truth can only go so far" is a small collection of short stories I am writing. Each one represents a different character. Here is the first one. Do not claim these as your own. "Umm... What am I meant to say?" I asked to Ken. "I don't know," he replied, "Just something about yourself," I sighed. "John, aged 26. Chief Weapons Instructor... Ugh, you know what. This is stupid!" I said, "It's not like they can understand our language!" Ken put the video camera down. "Well, what if other people do what we did?" he asked, "Don't you think that they would want to go back before it is too late?" I sighed. "Ok, roll the stupid camera again." Ken pushed a button on the video camera and it responded with a red recording glow from one of its buttons. "My name is John Anderson," I said, "I am the Chief Weapons Instructor of Installation 707," "Don't say that!" said Ken, "Why not?" Ken put the camera on the ground but it was still recording. "It's f**king classified!" he said, "According to the public, Installation 707 doesn't exist! People can't find it! They already destroyed it!" I raised my gun to his head. "I thought that was where we were going!" I said, "You said food, water, ammo and medical supplies were there!" he laughed. "You know as much about Installation 707 as I do; did you really expect scientists to keep them contained?" "We got wounded!" I said, "What about Cathy and David back at the EVAC zone?" Ken laughed again, "They probally got them already!" he said, "They were just slowing us down anyway!" I pulled out a GPS, my gun still aimed at Ken. Installation 707 was a good few hours walk and the sun was already setting. "We'll have to set up shelter somewhere," I said, "We can't travel around at night with them on the prowl." Ken sighed, "We've got a much bigger chance of them killing us in our sleep," he said, "We are better off just moving during the night. Remember; they are unarmed. Their hands arn't much," "They eat flesh!" I cried out, "They are pink-skinned savages!" Ken was going to say something but there was a russling in the bushes. I drew my secondary firearm and shot a few rounds into the bushes. Something cried out a word of some kind. "What did it just say?" I asked. "I don't know... Sounded like... A-Alean? Alean?" Ken replied. It yelled it out again, "No," I said, "It sounds more like Aily-en!" "Alien?" asked Ken. "Yeah, that's it. What does it mean?" Ken shrugged, then reached for his gun. I thought he was going to fire it at my and was about to fire at him when he shot into the bushes. The creature cried out again before finally dying. I reached into the bushes and pulled it out. It wasn't pinked shin. It was more of a bay/cream color. "What the hell is this!?" I said, "This isn't what is supposed to be in Installation 707!" Ken sighed. "It's called a 'Human'," he said, "Savage creatures, arn't they!" Chapter 2: "You know nothing!" I yelled. I looked around at all the soldiers that sat before us. The instructor looked at me, "Sit down, Soldier!" he barked in my face. I turned to face the Soldiers again. "You know what's going to happen! We're all going to die! This isn't a military training camp, we're not..." I was interupted as the instructor zapped me with a Taser. I fell to the ground, clutching my throat and gasping for breathe. "Anybody else have any smart ideas?" asked the instructor. Nobody did anything. "Ok," he said, "Alpha, Beta, Charlie and Delta; move out." At his order all the soldiers got up and exited the building. He leant down besides me. "You know too much, don't you?" he said. I couldn't move. I managed a weak cough as air slowly filled my lungs. He reached for his pocket and pulled out a Magnum, .358mm to be exact. He sighed, "So do I," he said, handing me the gun. He helped me up. "I want you to kill me," My eyes widened, "Kill you?" I said in surprise, "But... sir," He shook his head. "Please," he said, "Call me Gordon," I looked towards the ground. "Gordon... I... I can't," I said. "You must," he said, "They're gonna kill me anyway!" I looked around, "Who's they?" I asked. "There's not enough time to explain," he said and held out his hand, "It was an honour training you," I shook his hand and it turned out that he left a piece of paper in my hand. "Open it," he said. I opened it and his Keycard fell out. There was also a list of instructions on it. "What's this for?" I asked. "Please..," he said, "Just do what they say... Now... You know what to do," I opened the barrel of the magnum; only 1 bullet left. "But, Gordon, I can't," I said, "I just can't..." a tear came from my eye. "That's an order!" he said. I slowly raised the Magnum to his head and saluted. He saluted back and I noticed a tear come from his eye, also. And then... Bang... "Ok," I said as I followed the instructions, "Step 1: Exit the compound," I walked up to a large gate. There was a slot for the keycard. I swiped it and the gate opened. "Step 2: Make your way to the black car parked in the 'Instructors Parking' area, parking slot 3," I searched and found the car. It was unlocked so I opened it. On the dashboard was a map, the keys and a piece of paper. There was 1 instruction left. "Follow the map to the area marked," I opened the map and saw the area with no name with a red circle around it. I opened the piece of paper and read the 2 words on top; "Installation 707" Comments and criticism is appreciated. More will come at about the same time I add a new chapter to my Zombie Survial Guide. You can find it by clicking on its userbar in my sig.

Kiriashi; What do you think about the Zombie Infection RMXP Quiz? Like the idea? Wanna help? If so, I'll send you a small quiz to see what you get right. Also, Chapter 7 - Food and Water is now out. EDIT: I'd like to thank everyone at Zombietools.net for creating a large variety of machetes and zombie dispatching blades for everyones viewing pleasure. This means that Chapter 8-1: Weapons - Blades is also now out. Enjoy.

Well, Hope Afloat is more of a game with a good story line (which if you have played Amiira you see the beginning of the end :D ) and I purposely made it for fun (for me and other people to play). I think that maybe I will make a zombie survival quiz to incorperate your knoledge about survival and everyone posts their results at the end :D . Another thing; Chapter 7 will be out soon. And, if you have read chapter 4, 5 and 6; Living on the Land is possibly the best way to go. Forts can be hard, especially if it is a Self-Made one because of the lack of mobility. And just bunking it out and Surviving at Home is good but bad because the town could be bombed (which is always a possibility). Also, I guess you are back from wherever you went (if it was from the dead then I really don't want to know :D ).

Chapter 6: Forts, has been added. Also, since the Weapons section will be so big I am splitting it up into 3 sections; Blades, Guns and Explosives. Enoy.
