Whining about the Game introductions

[SFault]

Wouldn't want to be a little whiner again, but I would so much like to see at least one screen capture of the games introduced in Freeware games section. It's much faster to understand what the game might be about and if it might be interesting when I see one image of it. Otherwise I need to read all that text in the post or open links to some more-or-less trustworthy sites.

I understand that there might not be images available and getting them takes some time, but still I demand to see images in the opening posts (preferably without scrolling much downwards).

[Chroelle]

Oh, but it is supposed to be like that. Feel free to write reminders in the posts you run into without screenies. Most of them have posts like "I will return later with more info" dated last year, so it should give the poster a bad conscience.

I hope I am up to date with all my screenies-missing game-introductions.

So I second that wish.

[Maz]

I admitt I'm guilty
But since I know my current schedule... Feel free to attach screenies, I'll offer a beer in the bar for each screenie uploaded

(Yay! I hope I could do all of my RL tasks simply by offering virtual beer to people )

[Chroelle]

This is still very much important.
I will try to look over some threads later on to make the threads without screenies complete. Writing it up in the bugginator...

[Chroelle]

Here is the list of gamethreads with no screenies:
Form = Name - link - responsible member that submitted the game. Please write if and when you corrected the thread, so I can cross out the game on the list. I will try to add some screenies for some of the games when I find time. But people if you see your name please post screenies, since it will minimize the workload, as I wont have to go and download the game that you suggested and therefore most likely have on your PC.

And that is all for now. Please keep new threads covered with screenies, because then we wont have to go over the whole thing again. And by avoiding using imageshack and similr services makes it even easier to see which threads lack screenies. You can simply see if the thread has attachments.

I will try and go over the list from the top to help out eMTe and lost users with their many threads, so if everyone else can look into theirs, then we could be done fast.

[eMTe]

I look.

No issues with hotlinked images here. Does anyone experience trouble?

[Chroelle]

I am thinking that they might "expire" at some point. But I dont know much about the rules regarding those.

[eMTe]

I'll replace all hotlinks anyway, you're right that they are less trustworthy.

Answer to pm: works OK.

[Chroelle]

Cool. Please notice that at some point I stopped checking for hotlinks, so I also stopped registrering them.

[Pater Alf]

I think I can add the screenies for all the games we accepted and which I added to the database (they are still on my HDD). But it will be the same ones as on the game info page...

[Chroelle]

No problems with that from me.

[eMTe]

I am adding basic info to others' posts, where needed. Hope this is not rights infringement. I ALWAYS keep original text and add developer's (or CWF) description, so final version looks like original poster provided us with almost everything we want.

[Chroelle]

Just watch out for Typos

Nah it is perfectly fine with me. I dont mind if you edit my submissions.

[Scythe]

I have already edited a bunch of typos. Sue me if I wasn't allowed to do that.
