My feelings on The Demon Rush
Note: This is NOT a rules discussion thread. The purpose of this thread is to update the rules and faq pages to match the current site rules.
It's obvious the rules need to be updated because we've had a few changes on the site since the last rewrite. There are two ways the rules can be rewritten.
1. As Nate suggested, put the rules up on the knowledge base wiki, edit them for a week or two, if anything is wrong or unclear, then someone can point it out and possibly edit themselves. When the rules are finished, I lock/protect the page. The only problem with this method is incorrect edits while the page is open to edits. I honestly don't think anyone will try to vandalize the rules while we're editing them.
2. We keep the basic html format and I revise the rules myself. I would have no problem with doing this, but I know if I went this route, it would take more time than just using knowledge base, especially if we're reformatting the layout of the rules.
Rules that need to be added/clarification
-Add the rules to the front page. I seriously don't know why they aren't on the front page right now.
-We now no longer require real name.
-Frame rate abuse tricks
-The stuff in this thread. No more scripts except for Half-Life series and Portal, Banjo-Tooie Cheato category is frozen, take out references to Radix)
-do a better job of explaining saves and save penalty
-possibly allow certain freeware on a case-by-case basis (i.e Cave Story, no flash crap)
-Revise the multiplayer rule to make it more reasonable
-BACON!
Feel free to add more items to this list.
