I SECOND THAT INSANE IDEA.

I THIRD IT AND MAKE IT THE OFFICIAL PLAN IF ALL GOES IN OUR FAVOR!

[Sheb]

Great. Also, should we keep the Hope or move all our men to the AM? Maybe we could update the AM with more baloons, to carry the Hope. But I still favour moving all of our men to the flying fortress.

P.S.
Could you change my pixel to:

███
███
███

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSS

[Sheb]

Ahah, seems like I have got succes.

[PyroDesu]

Of course, who here actually expects it all to go in our favor?

[Zako]

<.<

>.>

I don't see anyone that expects that feat of impossibility. Still, if it all goes perfectly to plan, sure why the hell not?

[Sheb]

Well, if not, we will fail the plot anyway.

[PyroDesu]

How's them drawings coming, Ashton?

[Sheb]

If you need us to draw some element, please say so.

[adwarf]

Aye !!!!!! (Now I want to be Air Pirate ARRGH !!!)

[ashton1993]

How's them drawings coming, Ashton?

Well to be honest I'm only 40% through it as I've not been working on it much lately but I have re-visited the website and am wrestling with that so hopefully I can get it up soon on the website itself, also can one of you tell me what you see when you go to http://pixelsgame.net/ please? If it says index at the top everything's all good and I can do some work on it tomorrow, if it 404's or your browser doesn't connect to it properly then something may have gone even worse than I feared.

You see I accidentally clicked the delete button on the website (why does it even have one of those?  ) and it takes 12 hours to reset before I can upload the backup version of it I have on my computer, just need to know if the index is there so I actually have something to upload too. So in theory the turn should be up on a sparkly website within a week but I said the turn would be done in a few days a week ago... these things never go smoothly with me as you have probably all have realized by now so I can't guarantee anything, also I had an idea for another (short low-maintenance)  game that I'm going to kick of today and run alongside pixels. Bearing in mind the website is finally coming now would be a really good time to do the preparation for your own pixels game if your interested in doing so.

If you need us to draw some element, please say so.

Also Sheb if you are in the mood for drawing I don't need anything for this specific game but what would be really good would be general things that can go in the pixels pack for others, stuff like buildings, trenches, castles, vechiles, plants, all of that stuff would be really useful for others or alternatively you could draw a banner for the website, it's got to be 915 width and then 200-300 pixels high with space for the pixels logo (the text bit in here):

Spoiler: Here (click to show/hide)

I'd recommend drawing it smaller and then scaling it up by a factor between 3-5 but that'd be really cool, there's a javascript I made on the website that can change the banner at the top and swap it between multiple images so eventually I could have one banner up for each of the really good active games and each banner links to that game. Either option would be really helpful and anybody could contribute too either, I can tidy up the drawings afterwards if needed, anyways I'm going to start that other forum game that I had an idea for.

[PyroDesu]

Index, so your worst fears are, as of yet, unconfirmed.

[ashton1993]

Index, so your worst fears are, as of yet, unconfirmed.

Ah phew, also here's that other game I was on about:

Dreaming in Purgatory

[ashton1993]

Ok guys progress on the website...

Ok, so after weeks of hammering away at one error and finally getting it to work finally I discoverd the forum wasn't supported in brainhost's free package (the free package I have to pay for) so anyway I tried to get a refund again so I could change hosting plans and found one of the support people who was actually pretty helpful but anyways I'll have to wait until the refund arrives before I can purchase a new hosting plan and upload the website so that might take yet another week >_< anyway I've decided in the meantime to keep doing updates here again... also areyoua, why u no update DF arena!

You are now chatting with 'Smith'
Smith: Welcome to Live Chat support, how may I help you?
Ashton: Heya, I tried to run the install script for a simple machines forum but when I do I get an error, after checking the server logs it came up with this:
Ashton: [Tue Nov 29 11:02:59 2011] [error] [client 90.214.236.2] File does not exist: /home/awpixels/public_html/500.shtml
Ashton: Any idea how to fix the issue?
Smith: Please allow me some time to check
Ashton: Alright, thanks
Smith: Since, you have signed up for free account. You are not able to install that script
Ashton: Oh... how much does it cost to install it? And also where does it say I wouldn't be able too as I wasn't previously aware of that
Smith: You will require to sign up for the regular Hosting plan
Ashton: Well considering I actually paid $40 for the free account when all the additional parts are added up and I can't currently justify the expense on a regular hosting plan I'm rather frustrated here, the main point of the website was to be able to run the forum on it so is there any compromise that can be made?
Smith: The only option is to sign up for regular plan
Ashton: Would it be possible to be refunded on the additional website options and then move the domain to another host which does allow the script to run then?
Smith: To have the site moved on regular servers, you will have to complete the signup procedure
Ashton: Oh, sorry I meant would I be able to get a refund on the automated daily backup, web lock security and domain privacy then cancel the account and find a different hosting company that can allow me to install the forum without having to pay the amount your charging for the regular hosting plan
Smith: Since, they are been for sufficient time, it cannot be refunded
Ashton: The only reason they were there for a while though was because I was spending quite a while trying to fix an issue with creating a MySQL database which bearing in mind it required a senior admin too fix with I'm assuming it was a problem on brainhost's part (the forum install script required a MySQL database as a requisite) so I would have known about the script install issue if brainhost had done everything correctly, could that be considered for giving me a refund?
Smith: I am transferring the chat to the Billing Dept.
Ashton: Thanks
Please wait while I transfer the chat to 'Vanessa'.
You are now chatting with 'Vanessa'
Vanessa: Hello ashton how can i assist you today?
Ashton: Heya, I was just inquiring as to whether I could be refunded on the automated daily backup, web lock security and domain privacy for my brainhost account and transfer the website to another name server at a later date, I understand it's gone past the expiration date for a refund though I created the website with the intention of hosting a forum and was unaware I wouldn't be able to do so without upgrading to the regular hosting plan until very recently because ": The only reason they were there for a while though was because I was spending quite a while trying to fix an issue with creating a MySQL database which bearing in mind it required a senior admin too fix with I'm assuming it was a problem on brainhost's part (the forum install script required a MySQL database as a requisite) so I would have known about the script install issue if brainhost had done everything correctly, could that be considered for giving me a refund?"
Vanessa: can i have your last name please so i can pull up your account?
Ashton: Sorry just qouted that from the last discussion so I didn't keep you waiting too long but basically it's just I wasn't able to discover the problem because to do that I had to iniate an install script and to do that I had to have a MySQL... my last name's Ward
Vanessa: ok give me one moment please
Ashton: Cheers
Vanessa: can i have your zip code please?
Ashton: It may be HP13 7HB or SN10 3FD, I'm unsure which as my billing adress changed recently
Vanessa: ok thank you i have found your account
Vanessa: and you want to get upgrades refunded right?
Vanessa: are you wanting to cancel the entire account?
Ashton: Just the upgrades for now though I expect I'll cancel the whole account in a few days time, just need the money in my account before I can buy an alternative hosting plan and transfer the website over
Vanessa: ok i can go ahead and submit that request to get those upgrades cancelled and refunded
Vanessa: give me one moment please
Ashton: Briliant, thanks a lot
Vanessa: ok sir i have submitted that request over to them
Vanessa: once they process that refund you will be recieving a refund confirmation
Vanessa: please allow 3-5 business days for funds to reach your account
Ashton: OK, sounds perfect
Vanessa: ok did you have any other questions?
Ashton: Nope, all seems right in the world now
Vanessa: ok sir well thank you for contacting brain host and you havea  wonderful day
Ashton: Well, slight exageration, but you get the idea
Vanessa: haha yea i know what you mean
Ashton: Will do!
Vanessa: ok bye now

Well, you're making progress, and that's good.  What's also good is that this isn't dead.I was thinking it might have died.
