"Don't worry when your game is not recognized, but strive for it to be worthy of recognition." ~Lincoln

"Make no little games. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will not themselves be realized." ~Daniel Burnham

"Downloads may come to those who wait ... but only the downloads left by those who hustle." ~Abraham Lincoln

"Markerscore is life. If anybody tries to tell you otherwise, they are lying or trying to sell you something." - Mark Twain

"Gretzky is like an invisible man," said Soviet assistant coach Igor Dmitriev. "He appears out of nowhere, passes to nowhere and a game is made."

"When I was young I thought that game making was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is." - Oscar Wilde

"Do not grind gentle into that good night,
Old games should burn and rave at close of day;
Play, play against the dying of the light." ~Dylan Thomas

"What do you think an game developer is? An imbecile who only has resource books, if he is a programmer, or ears if he is an audio technician, or sketches of every corner of his notebook if he is a character designer, or even, if he is a 3-D modeler, just his vertical mouse? Far from it: at the same time he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly? No, gamiking is not done to entertain children. It is an instrument of war." ~Pablo Picasso

LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

"Don't blame me. Blame yourself or the RTP." - Delita Hyral

"If RPGs are to change, let them change. If this website is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to become obsolete, I must simply laugh." - Magus

"I make two games in the morning, I make two games at night.
I make two games in the afternoon, and then I feel alright.
I make two games in times of peace, and two in time of war.
I make two games before I make two games, and then I make two more." ~The Toyes

"A game with a heart and no sense is just as poor as a game with sense and no heart." ~Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Neo: What are you trying to tell me? That I can make games?
Morpheus: No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

"I usually have 10 different game making projects going at a time." ~ Tara Strong
...I rewrote the lyrics to Bonnie Tyler's 'Hero' many years ago now. I present you with the best of Bonnie Tyler - Misao.

Where have all the mappers gone
And where are all the plots?
Where's the 3-tile-rule commanders
And custom menu-naughts?
Isn't there a battle system
With custom interface?
It's gonna take a super-code to make my game an ace!

I need a misao!
I need a misao to sweep all categories
'Cos my game is so cool
And fun to play, too
Give me one, I'm beggin' please!
I need a misao
I need a misao so people remember my game
'Cos I worked oh so hard
And played all my cards
I want to taste fortune and fame

Sometime after midnight
My eyes itchy and red
Tapping at my keyboard
To meet deadlines with dread
Add another number, another dialogue tree
Test the game for bugs and crashes to make it complete

(Chorus)

There's nothing else that I'd rather do
Than create and make a world
Map it out to look like it's a
Reality

Find graphics, sound and scripts online
Mess around with the database
I can feel its approach
To becoming complete

(Chorus)

It should be declared RMN's official anthem! Now, if we could just get her to sing it for us ...
Maybe when my voice is behaving itself. Got a bit of a frog in it at the moment. ^.^;
