	In Response To: Ye Olde Scenario Roundup Thingy (Scifiteki) : That's right, it's that time of the year again, time for... : Scifiteki's Roundup Of Projects That Should Be Asystolic/Flatlining! : The Adventures Of Beaverman: Well, I mean, come on. The Adventures of : Beaverman? To quote it's one and only news mention: "inbed the : wrapers of perviosly owned harry potter condoms into the forehead of giant : angery bird things " : I'm doubting this ever got anywhere. More to the point, would we want it to? : Plus, of course, it hasn't mentioned in about 11 months. : VERDICT: Dead as a doornail. Good call. On the next SN update, I'll make a call for life pleas... if this one doesn't get a nibble from the author in a couple of weeks, I'll move it over. : Alexineth: Made by the redoubtable Meowx Studios. Unfortuntately, Meowx, who : was a more common feature of the EV boards, I believe, dissapeared more : than a year ago. The main site for Meowx Studios is far gone. And it : hasn't been mentioned in over a year and a half. : VERDICT: Really, really dead. Like, rotting, and stuff. Dave's got a page up at Moden Studios. Apparently, the loss of Meowx is pretty bizarre; there's a news post from a couple of months ago mentioning that he owns the domain until 2006, and has no idea where his page went. Alexienth is definitely dormant... but dead? I'm not ready to say that yet. : Marathon: Vietnam: What's this thing doing still pretending to be alive, and : all that? It's body parts are strewn far and wide across the Orphanage, : for thingy's sake! Even the scenario page does not doubt this! Marathon: : Vietnam, cool concept as it might have been, is far and away dead. : VERDICT: Dead, like one of those wombats that you see on the side of the : highway, with all the flies, and stuff. Ack - this one was declared dead by the author. I forgot to move it. Will do so soon. : The Battle Mage Project: Well... Good old Ross, with all his inferiority : complexes and everything, last asked for a sprite artist, a little less : than a year ago. It's now less than a year later, and it would appear that : no sprite artists were forthcoming. Too bad. He should have given it to : the Orphanage.... Just goes to show you, mapmakers and writers, never : depend on finding a artist. Good ones are ridiculously rare, and chances : are they won't want to work with someone as ugly and annoying as you. : ) : VERDICT: The vultures have finished circling. Another one I'll put up a note about. : Clerks: Another Marathon Scenario that just screams at you, "I'm Gonna : Die!" One mention. Year and a half ago. A scenario that aimed to be : realistic, on a probably unworkable scale. And about Clerks. Do I really : need to say more? : VERDICT: Shuffled off this mortal coil. You might be right... :) : Beyond Reality: Oh, just move the darn thing, already. : ) Out of interest, : did anybody catch those demos that Agol put out? The Headmaster may be : interested in them. I have the demos... but I can't give 'em to the Orphanage without the author's permission. :( : Marathon: Idiocy: Well, it was gonna have stick figures, I mean, really, what : did you expect? And, woah, a whole *two* years of non-mention. I think the : little bugger's a little on the cold side, personally. Even it's site : (Non-existent server) confirms this. : VERDICT: Dead-dy dead, dead dead. Probably... : Black Nova: I don't know what this scenario was, or how many times it managed : to get snuck into the scenarionews, because it hasn't been mentioned for : at least 3 years. Maybe more, and it never had a site. So we can safely : say, I think: " " : VERDICT: Well, I said it already, didn't I? It was mentioned once, on June 2, 1999. The mention didn't even come from the author(s) - it was something RuGGeR picked up on the M.org forums. I'd have to agree with you on this one. :) : Marathon Lethavian(Both Of Them): There's two of these guys, funnily enough. : One is already in the Orphanage, (It was one of the earliest addtions, as : far as I can tell), and the other is entirely composed of that : ever-appearing guy Ryan Foran, otherwise known as axiocranium. Funny to : see him there. But, no apparently-dead project escapes Scifiteki's Big : Stick Of Wackness, and it hasn't been mentioned in a little less than a : year and a half. : VERDICT: If it's not dead, it's probably at least in a coma losing bodily : fluids. Hmm... yeah. : Enternal: Heeey... Is it just me, or wasn't this one of the projects that was : orginally considered for integration with Rubicon? Go to Rubicon's site, : and read the maker's testemonials thingy, or whatever you want to call it. : Anyway, it hasn't been updated since the start of this year. Where is the : bugger? : VERDICT: Is it dead? Well, we think so. Let's prod it a little, as see if it : twitches. Forrest refuses to call this one dead. He periodically applies the paddles, but all they really do is make the body jump a bit and knock small items off the gurney. : Marathon 5: This always seemed a little strange to me, but, hey, it hasn't : been mentioned in around two years, and the site hasn't been upadated : since October of last year. That's too bad, those textures looked cool. Oh : well. Why *was* it *5*, anyway? : ) : VERDICT: I pronouce thee dead. Like a skunk, dead. Yeah. So there. Whenever I write Lyndon off, he comes popping in through a side window. Good list here. I'll see what I can do to shorten that left column next time out. :)
