Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  you forgot me oldmntnguy. Oké forgot what i just say

  Austrian, I beg to differ with you that no duels exist. Apparently you haven't seen the duels that we have going on currently. With the great design skills and playing expertise of such great members as ToughMan, murat, oldmanrob, nelson90, Monty, SimonM, Martin, Mo, lmr and many others that I'm sure I don't have room to mention, the game is as strong as ever. But you do mention some great players who are sorely missed at this time. I'd like to invite you to spend some time back with us and play a little bit more. I'm sure that you would find it enjoyable.

  In this game no more duels existed, since that pauloalex, boogiebee and cheese9 were alive.

  it's the BEST game!

  Started Adrenaline series, first two done, unknown when I can get back to do others.

P.S. Asked to be put in BL graveyard...at least unsure, but I may be able to return fulltime eventually.

  That's awesome!

  That's good!

  Blockoban is suddenly more popular again

  Lol, in whole history of my levels (it's near 50 units) I never set a category for them. xDDD

  Changing rules is a bit trickier than it might seem, as Blockoban aint the only game here, and rules should remain the same between games.

  Rules may change! I don't mind playing a level called soraiu. I'm also not afraid of insults as this happens everywhere (just check Pajero in Spanish). If this would be used for abuses you could still call for an admin and stop it.

  Wow big comment extravaganza!

  Yarr, shouldn't titles tell something about the level? I can't see how a title that is written in Chinese (for example) could tell me anything. Little more problematic is using "names" as titles that don't actually mean anything in English.

About the Romanian kid OMG, I looks like you have done everything you can. You can either rename the titles or something. In the end it shouldn't be your job but helpful admins are always up for some extra work to give some extra levels to players? (:

Btw, I didn't make the rules, I just follow the ancient rules made by JP and Asforien(:

  I totally agree with Murat's view (and of course whoever else shares his opinion). However, I do realize a potential risk in accepting a title from another language that you (i mean the Admins) don't really know. The risk of insulting, provoking, offensive, word abusing, and all those things that might harm ppl and eventually the game itself. The serious problem comes due to the fact that many players are underaged (i.e. 8year olds). Imagine a title like 'All BB players are j..ks' or 'Viva El Presidente' with a political propaganda, but this time the titles not in English (where you could reject the lvl) but in another language that only targeted ppl could understand... Because this community is a social, entertaining one and not a mean to pass (sneakily) wrong, bad messages, and because world is not perfect and for all the above reasons I am gonna have to go along with OMG, JP and Elizea. It has been troubling me as well to find titles but as I always tell my kids 'better have a control of things than run the risk of losing it'. [The laternative is to have ADMINS from all countries of the world, therefore representing all languages and called only for approving level titles and checking whether the names could be acceptable within this community.... I could do Greek]

  Please excuse the long message, but there has been some question as to my reasons for marking some levels to be edited because the titles were not in English. I appreciate your comments and I agree with Murat, Simon and the others, that the content is what really matters.
This has come to light because of about eight or nine recently submitted levels from the same designer that apparently does not understand or speak English. I have tried every avenue at my disposal to contact David even with help from oldmanrob who helped me with translations. His profile says that he is from Romania and that he is only eight years old. I have sent messages in is native Romanian, and English in as simple terms as possible. I have received no message in return from him or any response at all.
I do realize that many of us are not bilingual or multilingual, but I feel that the joy of the game can transcend language barriers.
As to the rules about the titles being in English, this is not my call. I am not the designer of the game and these were the instructions that were given to me when I was asked to help administrate.
I am not trying to be the hard guy, just following JP's and Elizea's directions.
For everyone's information, when levels marked to be edited or marked undone,are left untouched for four or more months, I do make the necessary changes and submit them. This is done under the original designer's name and they receive all credit. I feel that all acceptable levels should be enjoyed by everyone. But I will not make changes based solely on my opinion without waiting a sufficient amount of time, as to not stifle the creative brilliance of other designers.
If you have any comments, or any ideas that might help me, please feel free to PM me at any time. I really appreciate all the help and insight that I received from all the members.

  Though, you can get an idea of the type of level by the thumbnail.

  No, the categories only show how hard the level is not what kind of level (it would be a bit complicated if it should).

  Isnt there an art category on this game?

  blatant fail demonstrated by the font ;)

  he is paulIalex not pauloalex

  Wow, so many hard levels.

  Stupid, impersonator :-(

  Damn impersonators, Elizea, where you are ?

  *Is obvious that it isn't the real Pauloalex*

He's spinning in his grave by now. |:_

  I´m back !!!!!!!!!!!

  I noticed that I'm slowly creeping up the designers list now. :)

  LOL AK! XD

  Will cheese9 and boogiebee ever come back. They were nice people.

@MEGAGIRL: I wonder who's doing that. I noticed mine are kinda low too.

  WHAT?????????

HERESY!!!!!!!!!!!!

XD

  Someone is rating all our levels lower than usual. Even murats.
