That's right! Make a wonderful game and send it to this guy so he can play and sell it for you! What a wonderful idea!

why are you asking peopel to send you there games. They will probably send you a virus (and you deserve it).

This thread is so going to be flamebait.

Oh, I see.
But I have a better solution :
If I try to sell my games they will be used by just a few people. But I make programs for my school, so I let several pupils use my work. I'm more happy to know that my program is really used, than to have some money from it.

Chris, he will get it in the shop :
- He will burn it on a CD
- He will take the CD in his pocket
- He will go into a shop
- He will tell that he got your game in a shop (which is right)

Ahh..... cunning.

This is probably the funniest thing I've seen on the forums:

Quote: "The prices:
1: The game is on development!!!
2: The game are 20x making for personal use
4: The game are 5x making for personal use"


Let me just show you how much comedy is contained in this tiny quote:

No way am I sending my game to a 12-year old named 'hot dan'. The prizes are lame--- I get 5 (!!) copies of MY OWN game for MYSELF!?!

Wow. It is like Geri, but more ambitious... Ubergeri!!!! Wow....

Wait though... if I send my (blood, tears, toil etc) game to you, you are saying that with your vast connections (we're talking secondary, not primary school here...) you can get the game sold for me in shops.... wow... and I don't have to give you a single penny? Just that blood, tears, toil etc I mentioned earlier, plus development costs...

Golly. Hold me back....

One a year of this amusement richter scale on this forum. One a year... Arf... Normally in english though.

Cheers

Priceless.

Speechless.

Why would I want 20 copies of my own game, when I have the original, and I can only ever play one at once?

In the words of Michael Jackson's solicitor, never trust a 12 year old.
Especially when my 6 year old makes more sense, and has more nouse.

Yes no one is going to send a 12 year old his/her game that they made. Anyone dumb enough to do that better be smart enough to copyright there game.

The search continues.

Hehe, I'm picturing it now, the court case - when the handsome young lawyer strolls upto the victim, leans on the dock - then asks WTF you were thinking when you sent the pre-teen dutch boy your video game so he could plant it in GAME stores all over the free world.

- Any chance of some biscuit avatars?

LOL, hot Dan?!!

Fortunately it doesn't mean that.
Ok hier is het dan
means
Ok, here it is.

But the rest is correctly translated.

Timesoft:

Uhm, ga zelf games maken, niemand gaat jou iets sturen (tenzij ze jou graag een virus willen sturen). Alsof jij een spel kan publiceren.

How can you expect to be taken seriously if you can't even count to 3? I mean, come on! (Thanks Chris, i didn't even notice that first off...i naturally expect people to know basic arithmetic)

Look, let this be a lesson to ALL PEOPLE ON THESE FORUMS TO WHOM ENGLISH IS NOT A STRONG LANGUAGE:

Type it out in your most profficient language. Then, go to Babel Fish and Translate it to English. However, Babel fish can make mistakes so i'd reccomend doing it retro-actively: write it in English (if you can) and then translate it into your own language, and see if it makes sense. This will improve your credibility, because people tend to judge you on spelling and grammer if that's all they know of you.

But it will seriously lower your credibility if you go around telling people you're 12 years old yet want to publish their games for them. Good luck, matey.
