The Dungeon of Apolyton - Page 10

Dare I ask what you get if people vote for you?

Jamski · January 13, 2004, 20:00

I need at least 10 different people to vote before the module is put on the "ranking list". Once its there more people will see it, and soon thousands of people all over the world will be killing Tassadar and Panag without knowing why

But first I need at least 10 people to vote, and an average vote in the high 9.2 - 9.8 range would be sweet

Or I could register 10 new log-ins with different e-mails, but that's cheating.

Space - you are REALLY annoying. You're a reason NOT to visit Apolyton Town.

I voted and downloaded it even though I dont have NWN.

I was going to comment but I was speechless.

Jamski · January 14, 2004, 04:25

Space05us

Consider yourself added to my "white-list" (the opposite of a black-list of course) of decent, upright, honest, healthy, trustworthy, social, godly and overall nice folk.

The rest of you...

*shakes fist*

Won't you think of the kittens?

Space05us · January 14, 2004, 15:13

can I be the good boss who gives out orders in your next mod?

Jamski · January 15, 2004, 17:23

I don't see why not. But it will have to be the mod after my next mod, as my next one is "historical fantasy" and the boss is King Louis XIV

Whoot ! 176 downloads in 3 days ! And about 3 people have voted

DarkCloud · January 15, 2004, 23:35

There- I rated it

Do most mods at that site usually receive 176 downloads! That's quite amazing!

and you can access the mods you voted for by clicking on VIEW STATS then on your name

or just clickiing on MY RATED MODULES in your user options

Jamski · January 16, 2004, 05:09

I have user options?

No idea. The lowest is none and some really popular ones have 300,000 plus. I'd say 176 is pretty unimpressive, were it not for the fact that I made it.

please please please please please

-Jam

Is that legal?

We´ll, downloading it and registering to the NWVault now, thought I don´t even have the game, so better be happy, Jamski.

177 times loaded, pretty impressing for a three day old mod.

DarkCloud · January 16, 2004, 10:31

Um. did my ratings show? I can't seem to see them in the View Stats section of the download area...

maybe I did something wrong?

or does it take a day to register?

Jamski · January 16, 2004, 12:40

It takes 36-48 hours for everything to register except comments

Silly site, eh? But some great stuff on there. And its free, to host as much as you want, with a fast upload and download. I can cope with the waiting.

Thanks guys for the votes and the downloads, maybe I'll be a surprise entry in the top 40, and then all these total strangers will be killing people from 'poly

General Ludd · January 17, 2004, 21:51

How'd this drop down so quickly? I'll be trying it out tommorow I think, looking forward to it.

DarkCloud · January 17, 2004, 23:33

Jamski, are you sure that it would be exciting to people not from apolyton? and that they'd understand the in-jokes?

or did you shy away from too many of those and focus on the game experience?

or put an explanation about Apolyton an a link in one of your versions- (that might be a good idea!

)

ask for people to put suggestions on gameplay fixes in this thread and link to it

Apolyton might get some good quality new members that way!

Unspeakable Horror · January 18, 2004, 10:23

And they would see that Jamski cheated to get his votes

By the way I voted too

Sadly I can´t play since I unistalled NWN and now I don´t have enough space

Jamski · January 18, 2004, 10:54

Its not cheating.... just "truth adjustment". I consider it a fair price that people included in the Dungeon should vote for it

For people not from Apolyton the whole thing is probably a bit surreal. I'll add a couple of books to the bext version that have descriptions of 'poly.

Should we provide any historical literature?

About the geography from the shining shores of Mingapoulco to the dismal peaks of Rahcaltraz?

--
Ah yes, I just had another good idea- if you have/had/do include Rahcaltraz, you really need to include Rah's killer ferrets (Dolph and Vito)

(apologies if you already have... i've read thorough this entire thread but have forgotten some things)

as for other 'poly history, the link in my signature can provide some information

And I can probably tell you a million tales about famous spammers-

ProvostB- "Provost Bug" Amazingly spammy... forum legend

ghen- Formerly Fast_Eddie, he changed his name to ghen because it was easier to type... He was banned from apolyton once because in the space of one day he created 8 DL's (ghen's philosophical DL, ghen's 6th DL, ghen's 1st DL, ghen's evil DL, etc.) you can still find them if you look in the members list

And many, many more

Jamski · January 19, 2004, 04:53

Wonderful.

Soon I'll have enough stuff to make v1.1. I need to think about a few layout issues too...

centrifuge · January 19, 2004, 12:17

Jamski, Your module has now been downloaded 297 times, I plan on giving it a go this afternoon

Jamski · January 19, 2004, 18:38

Whoot! That's nearly one download for every hour it took

Centrifuge - take a fighter or a fighter/rogue or a fighter/cleric or it can get rather challenging.

General Ludd · January 19, 2004, 18:46

Aw, man. I was killed by a trap only a couple minutes after entering the dungeon.

Markos and dan sure are bastards.

Jamski · January 19, 2004, 18:51

Heh, you won't step on that trap next time round

I suppose you mean

Vlad Antlerkov · January 19, 2004, 18:52

Downloaded it.

Now I just need to get SoU. ...which script is SoU-only?

Mr. President · January 19, 2004, 19:02

I don't own Neverwinter Nights, but I must congratulate you on the amount of effort you've evidently put into this modpack. Your dedication and grasp of Apolyton in-humor is an inspiration to us all.

Actually a load of the textures and monster skins are SOU....

BUT! If you try playing it anyway, then probably you can get through the first few levels without anything going wrong, and then you can tell me what files it says its missing, and I can *wink wink wink*

Actually its a pleasure to entertain people.

Yeah, Jamski- I noticed that the reviewers on that site were giving you some flak for the 'strange humor' and dialogue

The module did not seem to offer any interesting storyline whatsoever. 1 hour into the module I still had no idea why I'm doing what I'm doing. Sometimes my PC referred to things I as a player had no idea about - for instance, I came across numerous references to Tassadar, even though I had no way of knowing who he was until Level 3, where he gave me the key to the door that was bashable, anyway. Numerous OOC (out-of-character) references completely kill any feeling of immersion. Levels are called just that: "Level 001 - Mines, Level 003 - Sewers", etc. On Level 003, I came across an area called "Union of Socialist Zombies", where I had to butcher a legion of "Communist Zombies". I frankly had no idea just how the whole Communist bit fit into the general storyline of the module - insofar as it had one at all. Quests did not make much sense, either - find a badger-protection ring? Locate a moderator to unlock an archive? Find the cookbook stolen from the author's wife by their own golemn which somehow turned dangerous? And what is the author's estate (the Jamski residence) doing inside the module anyway? I don't mind some OOC deviations every now and then, but only if they serve a particular purpose, and this one didn't.

i want to play, and this review only wants to make me play even more.
