Wait, this got stickied but Roller's Block remains down there?

I think I'm just going to cry in this corner now...

Jokes aside, is it really that simple to get a thread stickied? Damn. I may have to go ahead and write that FAQ, though, because I've been around longer than most on these boards, and I actually know what I'm doing (vaguely). Also, keeping the Library and FAQ seperate will probably be a good idea.

...In other news, does anyone remember that Supervillian RTD that was quite big at the time, who's name I forgot? Or even ARRRRRRTD? Man, that last one was a good read. I think that RTDs have been getting worse as of late, because we're lacking good ideas. We should try to get some of the legends back into hosting.

My bad. Excel cut it. I added it again.


Once again, anyone who thinks himself to be semi-qualified quasi-veterans in the RTD world, please do write up some FAQs!

I think you severely miscounted the votes. Neither me, Irony, or Tiruin voted for Westlands.

I also did not vote for Rise of Dragons, The Covenants of Arcane Steel, Darkmoon, USDF Spaceship RTD, or RTD of the Dragon.

Anyway, not too sure what I think about the new style, but it's your stuffs.

This time around, I counted every mention as a vote. If you, Irony, and Tiruin all decide to only list it and not vote for it, I'll change it.

As for the style... I'm not to sure of the color scheme myself, either. >.>

I think the idea of listing mentions for votes is a bad idea. Really, I don't even consider any of the RTDs that I have mentioned that I haven't nominated for HoF directly good enough. And I wouldn't vote for my own RTDs.

That's why we need to separate them. Mentions of RtDs should only count as HoF nominations if the poster explicitly says it's a nomination. Perhaps bolded?

Maybe at this point we should just reset the votes and start over with a more concrete system?

Here are all the ones that directly state a vote for the HoF. I did not include any that did not mention the HoF.

MM: 2 votes.
RtRTD: 2 votes.
RtSTG: 1 vote.

Here are the other ones that do not directly state a vote for the HoF but may easily be interpreted as such.

For the list:
City Of Madness
Heavily Lovecraft influenced RTD set in 1930's Arkham. (Lovecraft's Arkham, not Batman's Arkham) Currently featuring an abused orphan, a college professor, a Bouncer with organized crime ties, and an immigrant detective on a twenty-four carat run of bad luck as the protagonists. ACTIVE

I would also, if possible, like to change the description on Deviation-22. It is somewhat misleading as it stands now.

*Sci-fi RTD on an alien world. Minus aliens, instead aliens are mutated Terran creatures.

To

*Dystopian Sci-fi RTD set in both the Sol and Epsilion Eridani solar systems. Features include psionics, cybernetics, technocratic Arbiters, insane programs with delusions of grandeur, jump gates of unknown providence, really bad attempts at disguise, Tarran's obsession with friendly fire, and more! The longest RTD currently in existence. You have been warned.


I'll also put in a vote for CVRTD and RTD of the Dragon (T-Version).

I see what you did there. You're just using that excuse to put in a longer description. :P

The Hall of Legends entry reads:

"In this science-fiction epic of a Roll to Dodge, join Tarran, Taric, Dom, Trol, James and Ashley, a band of Unchained rebels fighting the cruel Technocracy, the disorganized independents, and the mysterious bio-suited Immortals as they also struggle to survive on the alien surface of Mahdavi, a moon orbiting the gas giant Zeus, in a war filled with such goodies as Tarran shooting his teammates while dual-wielding, weaponised porn, and crazy people!"


Although entries in that thread tend to be longer-winded than what we have so far here.
