I dont disrespect him I just dont think this is a good idea for a center
Heh. Nice.
Well I AM back now.. surprisingly. Parental controls have blocked me for the longest time but... yeah the effort I had to put forth to get here was worth it. Seeing a new Riders game ALONE was worth the effort!
Look, I know you may not LIKE my idea but that's not the point: I WANT to do this and I've had for (as I mentioned before) a couple years, before I even came here.
I've been thinking about all this for quite some time so it's time I finally posted my thoughts and my progress as
I haven't given up on this and I probably won't. I'm devoted to seeing this go up as I have been.
The site has been blocked for me, disabling me from entering it b/c of p-controls, that's all. Otherwise, I would've been way more regular in posting updates and more regular on the site period.
First off, I didn't want to revive my suggestions topic for no apparently "good" reason so I'll say it here:
Mario Strikers Charged has amazing potential but I know it'll be argued that it's only a single game. Then I thought of a general Wi-Fi sub-site for Wii Games but for that the focus wouldn't be "clear" (I think I finally get it, and I've had it all along xD). So I just thought I'd bring it up. And yes, I do have it and it IS amazing. Does anyone here have it? I'm going to make a topic because I'd really like to face someone. :D
But anyway, I'm digressing. Getting to my real post:
I think I finally understand what was said about me needing a "clear focus". Thus, I've re-examined the list carefully and it's finalized to be, NOT the Mini-Game Center, but the sub-site will focus
specifically on Party Games. As a result, some games were eliminated, yet again. Here are all the games that've been removed (over time and recently):
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Madagascar
SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, PANTS!
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie – GBA
Super Mario 64 DS
New Super Mario Bros.
Mario Power Tennis
Donkey Kong Country 2
Donkey Kong Country 3
DK64
Fuzion Frenzy 2
The Bible Game
Happy Feet
Barnyard
Super Paper Mario
Re:
/ SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! and Barnyard: /
Although they ARE indeed of the Party genre, it was claimed that there isn't much potential here in terms of competition and that's what it's really all about so I've removed them. As mentioned, I will have a thread that discusses past ideas and if enough ask for it, then I'll add it.
< The following games I wasn't sure about but will be removed anyway: >
Super Mario 64 DS
New Super Mario Bros.
Super Paper Mario
These games are not part of the Party genre, yet, they feature a variety of competitive games. It's been kind of hard to reach a final verdict but
to keep in check with this CLEAR focus, I've decided to remove them.Also, I WOULD add WarioWare: Touched but have absolutely no familiarity with it whatsoever.

Additionally, I've looked over the Shuffle divisions (as it has been a LONG time...) and I've finalized them after removing select divisions.

If you're interested, here's what I removed:
- RINGS for Stages in Story/Versus
- One team division for Rings (Manic Maze) that was probably a mistake in the first place
- Again, two more mistakes (I believe) for Times this time:
-> Wrong Way Climb/Single Player
-> Eggbot's Attack/Team
- Sonic Slot and Sonic the Thief (I was just going to remove Sonic Slot but then what would be the point in having one division for Scores when the scores for it aren't even that high in the first place, so I just removed them both; besides, other Mario Party mini-games that also featured a "proximity" system where you get as close to 0 as possible wouldn't be good for competition, I was told, so it only makes sense that this isn't added either.)
Otherwise, everything for Shuffle is fine as it has been for the past year...
Here's the divisions list for Mario Party 8 (and yes, I do have it):

NO SCORE TOTAL as scores vary between high scores and low scores a lot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just to clear it up: I'm pretty much dropping my ("plethora" of) sub-center ideas (although I would REALLY like to keep them, especially Elebits and Blinx) and only sticking with
THIS and a Need for Speed sub-site (if there's interest and I can pull it off; I'll probably need help on that one as there are a LOT of divisions but I can easily run this entire sub-site on my own with help from admins and whatnot for tech stuff). Otherwise, that's it on my part and I hope to hear something.
I can guarantee that over time, more games will be added to the sub-center only after making sure that it still keeps in check with the focus of my sub-site. Examples are the upcoming
Mario Party for the DS and
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (which I'm really stoked for), but for now, this is what I got. As you can see, I've come a long way and I think it's only fair that I'm heard. It's the final offering and I'm hoping it will please you to the point of re-considering my sub-site to go up.
The next post below will have the complete rules list that has undergone much editing and re-examination for the sake of clarity.
