The World's Worst Website needs YOU!

Case · March 24, 2002, 21:40

Check out my totally lame website at: http://www.geocities.com/nick_dowling2002/index.html

(I made it in half an hour yesterday, so please go easy on me)

I've noticed that most people seem to have heaps of abandoned scenarios cluttering up their hard drive.
Rather then having this effort go to waste, send the scenarios to me, and let others either enjoy or finish off your work

BTW, the web page is no-where near complete. - In the next few days I'm planning to add some links to useful resources and to improve the site's appearance (which shouldn't be hard

)

Yea its pretty lame, but i'm gonna put some scenarios in there, i dont want everyones brillant ideas going to waste!!

H Tower · March 25, 2002, 00:14

i've always wanted to kick norway's butt in world war 2

that should be fun

klesh · March 25, 2002, 16:21

See, I told you geocities wasn't that hard Nick! We should hold a poll, who's website is worse, FMK's or Case's.

Seriously, that is a good idea as everyone talks about having unfinished this and that laying around. Unfortunately, my only unfinished piece is Stalingrad. I ain't givin that to ya yet.

-FMK.

Yeah, I have my own site at geocities too. http://www.geocities.com/augusta/fairway/2116 It's pretty bad, but it's something

Case · March 25, 2002, 21:27

Er, ANZAC, did you mean: http://www.geocities.com/augusta/fairway/2116/ (the address in your profile)?

Either way, my page is the worst

BTW, do you want to submit ABDA Squadron?

WarVoid · March 25, 2002, 22:30

I have three....

The ANZAC · March 26, 2002, 17:55

Case: Yep. my mistake. Also ABDA barely got anything finished in it so it's probably not even worth submitting.

WarVoid · March 26, 2002, 20:08

What is ABDA?

I know ABBA, but not ABDA.

klesh · March 26, 2002, 20:25

American, British, Dutch, and Australian Command. Why was it never given its full name Anzac?

-FMK.

The ANZAC · March 26, 2002, 23:08

Well, first off my Scenario was completely erased from my harddrive and all I have is a units.gif, so I can't turn in anything

Now the name....

I've heard of ABDACOM, I just was contracting by saying "ABDA" versus the full name.

My scenario's name though was ABDA Squadron which would chronicle the invasion of the East Indies and Philippines by the Japanese and the climax would be ABDA Squadron (which was named that because of the four cruisers from four countries: HMS Exeter, USS Houston, HMAS Perth, and HNMS DeRuyter) fighting in the battle of Java Sea. This battel supposedly could have prevented the Japanese from landing on Sumatra long enough for the Allies to completely reck the oil refinineries so Japan would have massive fuel shortages in 1943 and out of oil by '44. The outcome would determine whether or not you won as well as how well you conducted guerilla campaigns and relanded forces, like what the Australians did on Timor.

Actually, when I get time, I might just resurrect this

Soundwave · March 26, 2002, 23:55

WOW!!

They look Cool!!

Well done Anzac

WarVoid · March 27, 2002, 00:01

Very nice, ANZAC. I'd really like to play this scenario if you ever finish it.

Is that D21 Fokker flying the Filipino colours?

Soundwave · March 27, 2002, 00:06

i think its Netherlands not Filipino.

The ANZAC · March 27, 2002, 19:03

Yeah, it's flying Dutch colors.

Now here is the problem: I probably don't have enough time to make scenarios. So whenever I get a chance, I'll work.

WarVoid · March 27, 2002, 20:45

Those are still the same colours as the Filipino flag...

Weird...

Second row, sixth unit from the left, is that McArthur? The pipe made me think it is.

And ANZAC, if you ever want to restart this project and need a teammate to help, just drop me a line. South Pacific warfare is one of my (many) favourite subjects.

The ANZAC · March 28, 2002, 14:48

Yep that's MacArthur!

I had some ideas on how to implement him. And Warvoid, if I do start again, I'll be calling.

Case · March 31, 2002, 02:33

I've added a nice background, and another unfinished scenario by myself.

I'm still looking for contributions - no names are necessary, all I ask is that you include some credits

WarVoid · March 31, 2002, 14:04

You have some spelling typos on the conditions page.

*dodges bullets*

Case · April 8, 2002, 04:00

During its' three weeks of operation I've gotten exactly no submissions for the site.

Am I correct in assuming that no-one's got anything to post?

If you've got something, then send it to me at nick_dowling@hotmail.com no names are neccesary

hardjoy · April 8, 2002, 10:21

Case, I think your "requirements" are way to specific. If sending something unfinished means sending something nearly finished, why not simply finish it at some point rather than post it as it is? -I know for one thing that most of my "unfinished" stuff is lacking a tech tree (that leaves me out), and they are hardly playable (which also leaves me out) because I haven't placed all cities and units etc. So I think its those requirements that sort of kills the idea.

Case · April 8, 2002, 18:57

Good point. The conditions were fairly vague, but I can see the problems people had.

To get this site moving I'll now accept anything that comes with a brief readme giving credit for any borrowed stuff (graphics, maps, etc)
