This topic is for the purpose of discussing #988: Phil's NES Monopoly in 00:33.62

I laugh at you Phil, this movie really made me laugh. Uuh, I must get some sleep...

Hi Phil, That's an awfully long submission text you got there! All the best, Fabian

This movie has been published. The posts before this message apply to the submission, and posts after this message apply to the published movie. ---- [488] NES Monopoly by Phil in 00:33.62

Not as long as this boring and unnecessary text: #880: Fabian, JXQ's SNES Super Demo World "120-exit" in 2:13:17.90

Well I have absolutely no comeback good enough.

and to think... I thought the 35 second time attack was the fastest thing I ever saw, here goes a 34 second one. amazing!

Nice, I never realized just the 2 avenues with houses were already enough to make the CPU player go bankrupt ... but most of the improvement came from the much shorter wait (if any?) at the end to manipulate the CPU's last double turn, you were only 18 frames ahead when building the houses. I'll have to try that second strategy to see if I can get it to work, although it'd only save time after stopping the recording (but still good, like a few seconds) ...

Well, no in fact, I am more than 18 frames. From Oriental Avenue to Jail, it requires ~24 frames. In fact, 18+24= 42 frames faster.

Do I really need to download it if I know exactly what happens? :p

For anyone wondering, Phil complained in IRC about my Smash TV submission being too long (which is what Fabian was referencing). That's very mature of you to point to the SDW submission text, Phil. For the record, not everyone agrees that a submission's text should be as small and uninformative as your average submission. Furthermore, the submission instructions don't specify a length minimum or maximum, so why do you try to regulate what you think others should type? No matter how I feel, you're going to keep your submissions short and simple, and no matter how you feel, I'm going to keep mine long and detailed. Each individual can choose what they want to read and what they don't. This way, everyone wins! No one should have to put up with your needless ridicule based on your opinion of a "correct" submission text. Seriously, how many more people here are going to try and pass off their opinions on other people as facts? It's a trend I don't care for, and I doubt many others do either.

Some games just need more explanation than others. Let's just leave it at that.

Edit: /mode sarcastic on That's even more mature to point out that I disagree with your long text( Evidently, that Smash TV and Super Demo world) in THIS Monopoly movie thread submission. Maybe I must draw a picture... /mode off

What?

I'm also confused (I didn't submit Monopoly, you did). However, discussion closed sounds good to me, as I said what I wanted to say.

Hi Phil, Please be informed that this is an english speaking board. We can hardly understand you over here! Keep it real, Fabian

Apparently, some people don't understand that topic is: "#988: Phil's NES Monopoly in 00:34"

Please Phil, you're the one who led the discussion astray. You can't have it both ways.

Boys, boys… the more relevant information the submission text contains, the better! Don't complain of anyone's submission text being too long. It might be too short, but never too long (unless you intentionally attempt to falsify this statement of mine).

I like Phil's short text.

Long live the freedom of speech.

Ooooh, internet drama. I like reading long descriptions if there is interesting information in it, which there usually is. I suppose some people want to keep more of it a surprise.

Anyway, JXQ and Fabian are bunch of liars. I never told them to write short text. Conversation between me and JXQ 2 days ago: <PhilCote> JXQ: why did you wrote a novel to describe your movie? <JXQ> Phil, why not? I like to be thorough in case people have questions or wonder certain stuff about the game <PhilCote> Seriously, General information about the game is really not necessary. Unless you desrcibe how exactly it does amount of damage etc.. with memory adress ... <JXQ> well if you don't think it's necessary then don't read it. I prefer it that way <JXQ> *I prefer to write longer submissions, I mean And that's all. In no way I force him to write short text. I don't mind about long text but writing Game's manual is pretty unimaginative.

[mode QXJ=on] Here is what was missing in my submission text. MONOPOLY Parker Brothers' MONOPOLY Real Estate Trading Game was presented to Parker Brothers during the Depression by Charles B. Darrow of Germantown, Pennsylvania. Darrow had made the first games by hand, given them to friends and sold a few through Phila delphia department store. But as demand grew, he could not keep up with the orders and arranged for Parker Brothers to acquire the rights to the game in 1935. Since then, it has become the leading proprietary game not only in the United States but throughout the Western world. It is published under licence in 32 countries and in 23 foreign languages!
