Hello everyone! It's been such a long time since I've been involved at all with the Defcon community. I debated posting this message at all, since I doubt how many of you actually remember me, let alone care about what I have to say. But I'll post this as my ultimatum to make myself feel better, and...
Well I dunno. Probably about 6 years ago or so I decided to learn Just Basic for a few months, and gave it up in favor of Game Maker, because it was nice to have actual power at your finger tips. With Game Maker I learned a crap load about design and programming structure, and used that for 3-4 year...

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I'm happy people seem willing to keep an open mind. I'm super grateful for the server, too. I'll try to make myself available later in the week for a couple of games. Also sorry Mvpe if I sound like a know-it-all in my post when I say "it's impossible to lose if y...

However, I've also noticed something that's bugged me throughout my time here. Most players play with a certa...
To be honest I'm not sure why tensions seem to be so high in this forum. Sure I've raged some in Defcon. I've quit a few times here and there when getting stomped really badly and having a bad day. I've never insulted anyone or called them out unless they were truly deserving of such a reaction. If ...
