Not really. You work around it. Call it the Forum Map. The concept was, originally, to make a map about a forum, right? It doesn't HAVE to be THE HELPER forum...

The Helper = Root Admin
Admins = Admins instead of named admins
Mods = Mods instead of named mods

Or make up names. Use YOUR names instead of the admins/mods of TH.net. If TH doesn't endorse the map, you can still use your OWN names, we don't "own" them or anything.

Wanna know a great proverb?

If the door's locked, try a window.

That's completely retarded. You said you want to make it just like TheHelper forums, yet you make you and your other map-making buddies (who all have pretty much no status here) more powerful than the admins? That's about as stupid as me putting in a code that gives me infinite gold if I join a game I created. :rolleyes:

omfg! You call me "no status" WTF!!! you are :nuts: Btw, I'm a GM :D

Yeah. About that. I read that. Can't say I liked that.

People who create ways for themselves or characters made after themselves to be better in games are only one step above people who crack open maps and create cheats for themselves. If you want your game to be good, REALLY GOOD, then make it the way it should be... Fair.

If you guys still think you're going to create cheats for yourselves or advantages, than you may most certainly count my name on the "Do not use" list :) If you wanna be fair, I'd still like to see some more work before I say yes.

I don't know if this is on the ideas list or not, but anyway... I suggest using some sort of save/load code, and, as many peoples suggested here, everyone starts from 0. Personally, I wouldn't like to start with an advantage. I just want to work hard to gain that 'rep'. About the reward for making the map, that can come in other ways, but not under the shape of the in-game advantages.


About some work to show, currently, the map is at me, but I cannot work on it, and I don't know who to give the map to, so someone can actually work on it, cuz Nika isn't online (he hasn't been online for a couple of days...), and I am clueless about who else could work on it...

There must be no disadvantage/advantage for each player. Else the map is going to be stupid..
I know.I never thought of including prod/cons on each member :p

But, I may NOT include us as GMs, it would be rather rude, as Seth said, since the map kinda represents TH forum (but not 100% :p )
ok...
i will explain more clearly(which means i have to type slower...)

so the helper and the other mods and admins are having an arguement which turns out to be a fight. then we have to stop them from killin each other so the neither the helper or the admin or the mods die...(if the helper die the game will end coz no more the helper to support the helper net and the mods and admin are in a team) the aim for these mini game is to kill as many possible creeps that the helper and other mods are sendin e.g. the helper sents rayquaza to battle(only one becoz there is only one helper) and the mods send like Rabarber to battle and keep sendin until it kills someone... and who ever helps to kill the creeps(forgot to add this in- by the mean of sending it means sending like 20 of rayquaza to battle and 40 Rabarber) the helpers creeps are more stronger but less ppl and the mods creeps are weaker but more ppl (they are all rangers) and the reward ... u should know by readin the one before this

Nice one :)

Good. I think it'll improve the map if it's more closely followed to how TheHelper.net really is.

With that said, if you DIDN'T call the map TheHelper.net and instead just called it "The Forum Game" or something, you could fully well make you and the other map-makers more powerful. You could just call yourselves the admins and it wouldn't matter, because you're not actually basing it off of anything.

If some of you are still against my way of thinking about the situation, here's a "nicer" comparison:

You make a campaign-like Dragon Ball Z map. Now, it's supposed to VERY closely represent the real anime. But, because Krillin is your favorite character, you make him more powerful than anyone. Like, Krillin can beat Super Saiyan 3 Goku in a fight with one hand tied behind his back. Is that at ALL faithful to how the show really goes? No, it's not.

Yeah, I just made a DBZ reference, don't kill me. :p Slightly off-topic: analogies are fun....we should have an analogy contest or something.

You didn't have to explain it more since I deleted it, but thank you anyways.
Analogies contests?
Maybe...

In this case, he's not strict, he's simply right.

People who create maps and then put THEIR favorite characters ahead of any one else's are basically cheating. Sure, maybe anyone can pick that character. But then those people are cheating, too. That's why not a lot of maps ever get big :rolleyes:

I know, I said him to be strict about main opinions :)
Again, I would like to know, Seth, would you grant me permission to use GH in TH map?

In the thread you asked me the first time, I gave you an answer.

Yes, I would mind. You've yet to even get my permission to use my user name in the map :) I am still waiting to see some more work to be assured it's WORTH giving permission to.

I would also like to know HOW you plan on having GH in it. Some embelishment on that might push my answer in your favor?

A fun way to make yourself feel like you have an advantage is to add in little stupid things, like Godspeak.
You: -gs Muahahaha
Game: Muahahaha
Ya know? Insignificant, insubstantial things that don't really affect gameplay :)
A good idea though is (since you're using a save/load code, I'm sure you can do this) is to have a banlist that only the 4 pawnages can update. Would this work?

Anyways, you signed me up even though I'm not a SM. :D
Maybe I should be the doorgreeter or something insignificant? :p

Um, I don't sign up just SMs.
I sign up people the pawnages like, and are active here ;)
