About the Quote of the moment....
Is there a limit on what games do and don't qualify?
I ask because I just started playing "Tales of the Drunken Paladin" which is freely distributed online, made with RPG Maker VX. The script is so cheesy and hilarious to the point of pure gold. The script even makes Disgaea look like a poor attempt at comedy sometimes. Not that this is always the good kind of comedy, mind you.... http://www.drunkenpaladin.com/ Game is available here, by the way. For example, I was in the church, and I tried to talk to a nun. Palmer, my party member, told me not to disturb the sister as she read the good book. So I examined the book. Needless to say... not what I was expecting.  So, uh, yeah, can I submit quotes from this game? Possibly involving a certain Cardinal talking about beating old men and children as a hobby, or an enemy telling you his name and then saying it's on his resume? Or maybe the main character's speech about the history of pouches before being told to shut the fuck up?

Before he answers that, someone needs to answer why all the quotes I've submitted in the past like few months have never been accepted.

Anyways, TDP is gold, and I've been way too busy to LP anything lately, but damn it makes me want to LP it.

Lades has been on a douching spree with quotes lately. I just submitted about 5 legitimate quotes and he deleted 4 of them. I thought it was just me he was being a dick to but if he's doing to everyone then holy shit fuck you lades.

Well, he did say something about how he wanted to "Improve the overall quality by being more strict with what's accepted" or something, and given the existing size of the database, I can't blame him. Still, didn't mean to turn this into a flame war or anything. I was just curious about submitting TDP quotes.

Just to clear some things up.
1: Some quotes were missing data for the game, or were poorly typed. I just delete them instead of trying to fix them. If there's just one or two minor typos, I'll fix them, unless I have reason to believe the typo is PART of the quote. 2: I'm trying to not only improve quality (which unfortunately is a "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it" type deal), but also cut down on overly long or rambling quotes.

Lades threw that one out TWICE. Lades, if it's too much of a hassle for you, I'll do my best to fix up unsatisfactory quotes. I'd offer to do the whole damn thing if I could but if you can't give S-Mods that privilege then this is all I can do. Anyway, my two cents on the actual topic at hand: If a game doesn't have a commercial release, then it shouldn't be allowed a spot in the quotebox. Otherwise, I could go ahead and submit a bunch of quotes from a game I or a friend made that nobody could possibly get. |

Btw, due to how the quote accept system works, it's possible I might've accidently clicked delete instead of accept. The way it works is each quote is set to accept, delete, or ignore (ignore meaning you'll come back to it later), and then you click "process quotes" and it will do the selected action for each.
