SO what is your idea to reduce the amount of GM spamming.

gameEditor has had problems with Game Maker users in the past, and I believe something of this nature would just cause more problems. Previously the forum was spammed by several GM users, overall not something we wish to repeat. Also, this would require people of all categories to participate, which I doubt will happen. Most of gE's users don't participate in forum events, and this one may promote negative attention to the forums, making it less then appealing.

I have to agree with skyderiegn , we had GM people like automail come here and cause chaos. Plus most people here wont join , even though my nature would make me join. Just focus on making games , I threw a make a score tutorial because 3 people asked for it including you. I very excited to see what game you put out.

Well I think this is something that we need to do. Think about it. GE beats GM. People know GE is better game development. Anyway were having a vote on who is in the contest.

Thanks though. Don't get too excited though. I hope it is good. :P

This would be clearly for bragging rights?
I don't think it's a good idea, it's bad either way.

We lose, they mock us, we win they insult us
But if we just leave it be and show a mutual respect among peers, maybe we can all get along?

And by the way, it's not always about the tools, a sword can be defeated by a stick if held by a true master. :lol:

Well that would be devoted GM members. I mean think about it. Non-devoted will jump to GE. People who want to find tools for making games will see that GE beat GM and see that GE is better. You are right though if they beat us then well we might not get as much. Hey zxcvbnm the idea of the President Evil is good but does everybody like it :?: That is why we need to challenge another forum. I know I am asking for a lot, but please give it a chance. It can't hurt you to try. :wink:

Look I am telling you all it will cause is them to come over here and start flaming and then a stypid war will start. Already one of them has come here today and left links to thier site . If GM user come here all they do is fight , they dont make games I am telling you. I made the slashing tutorial , did you use it?

I had a question on it. Just a quick one though.
You know i am just saying defeating gm sorry i can't shift right now, defeating gm will make us popular because it proves that we beat a very popular game tool. that is your choice though. i know you guys are always talking about ge needing more popularity. this is the way.

There are alot of reasons game editor isnt popular . Soon game editor will be once everyone starts releasing more iphone games. We need commercial success to get popular not a battle with game maker. Plus people here dont really get along like that , vet wise. Learn how to make killer games , than release them to iphone . Thats the only way to win.

I dunno but I think it's a good idea :roll:
BUT...
1. Do this outside this forum
2. Don't challenge them directly. Face to face would cause trouble...
By releasing your best games to the public and make GE more popular then attract more members here, that's what we call "win" :mrgreen:

Okay. Bee ant, I am glad you in a way agreed. I mean we wouldn't do this without Makslane's permission, but we need to beat GM. The reason why I keep defending me is to make GE more popular. :)

well isn't GM more popular. If it is then beating them will show that were better( just hope they don't beat us.) Hey Game a go, aren't you also a good game creator. You might be our tenth match guy so don't you think...

If we go through with this, someone will need to make a GM account to challenge them. This is important I think.
