..hey it's funny in here. you guys really ate some jokie cakes i guess..
Have you ever been banned?
Its my 1st forum. no 2nd .. 1st was "Scummbar.com" so .. no.
From what forum?
Any i'd like to.
Why?
If, then because they dont like me or i just drive them mad.
After how much time?
What was the fastest ever?
How did you feel?
If, then i would feel like banned.
How did you react?
Not yet. I'm thinking for a really good plan.
Did you get unbanned?
NEVER...

english: this is stupid. there are no passwords in MI 1 or 2. buy it or leave it.
deutsch: irgendwie sinnlos. es gibt keine Passwörter in MI 1 oder 2. kauf es oder lass es.
microsoft: piracy sucks.

ok.. i had an idea last night (posted somewhere else already..):
a) After SoMI the caves closed somehow the ghostpriest in efmi said. that's ok so far ..
It could have happend together with the creation of Dinky Island before LCR began. The caves closed because LeChuck was gone or something like that..
b) The vulcano breaks out after CMI .. that huge explosion when Guybrush "kicks ass again"..
c) The mechanical voodoo ape (i think it's better than a voodoo based ape, because the voodoo is: it is driven by apes and lava (the vulcano was there all the time!).. and the power of that ultimate insult). Perhabs it could be driven by anything producing heat .. this could explain the colemine thing ..
d) This ape .. was build by.. who ever it was .. i would say Herman was with him/them (cannibals? apes? ..). He was the the one that holds the governors seal which is needed for the ultimate insult.
So Herman must have build the ape, then get the stuff to lucre island into the bank .. then he got back to Monkey Island (to find the secret) and stranded there ..
Then came LeChuck .. and later on SoMI.
LECHUCK used his powers to create these caves under MI.
Now The CLUE is:
1) there is the key to the apehead (big q-tip) .. and
2) in SoMI not mentioned: the lever in the nose! One way goes UP (into the control-center-head) and one DOWN. May be originally it was the way into the apes body and mechanical section and LeChuck has changed/used/cursed it for his caves!
In SoMI Guybrush only uses that way down to the caves.
That may work.

if it ends with MI5 then make an end which drives us to the question: whats up with Guybrush right now?? every hour each day..
or maybe he'll end off like Herman in another Monkey Island World..
perhabs MI5 will be a kind of interdimensional travel game..
.. I'll remember it anyhow!
-
.. then honestly asked to mister rapp scallion .. fix this storybug first please.. I tried long to figure it out.. but i cannot bringup something that would give a monkeylikeexplanation.

SoMI
-sinkin the ship with the catapult
-these notes on MI
-"look a threeheaded ape" - the cannibals wont look because it's an "old trick"- and then he steps in.
LCR
-that rat-soup thing on scabb.
-"people wont regognize a good game even if they paid 50 bucks for it.. "
CMI
-if you say "I am Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate" everytime you meet someone, Guybrush will finally say something like: "I am Guybrush Treepwood, mighty blahblah oh i just cant hear it anymore blahblah pirate"
EMI
-that timetravel-part in the swamps of lucre island.. very very exclusive..
-in the german version there is a joke on the iron maid: "Nimm eiserne Jungfrau" (in german maid is more mentioned to virgins) and Guybrush goes like "Richtig." .. it means something like "take/use iron maid" -> "alright"
-
i have to ask again..
how became the Giant Ape Head in SoMI (made of stone with some caves underneath it) that Giant Ape Robot or if you like so VOODOO APE??
-
where is the problem? if i type in "Monkey Island" at google and google for it ..
within seconds there are dozens of pages where you can legally get your own copy of MI X..
i never lost a codewheel etc. because
i never have made NO copy if it (Codewheel).
and i always lend a copy of the copy to friends..
so where is the prob? dont wanna spend money, eh? .. tse.

i didnt got the original (english) version of efmi, just the german version, which has no really cool voice for otis, thats why i am not so good with this character.. the english voice may just be the better choice.
i was able to get 1+2 in english and theyre some ways better than the german versions .. perhabs i get the rest in original versions too.
At least there is the fact that otis has good abilities to end up in any jail on any island he travels.
The thing i miss in efmi is the 'wearepirates!'-factor of Carla, Meathook and Otis .. i liked the way they tricked me (or try to) in MI1. In efmi theyre just not that piratelike.
-
how about get back to monkey island basics in Monkey 5?
Give it a new plot, new adventure with some spots on the old ones. some time travel stuff would be cool. pop up in monkey island 1 on monkey island watching guybrush sink the ship with the catapult or something like that. Make it really weird.
And then call it Monkey Island 5: before after all.
-
in MI 5 id like to have:
-a rubberchicken or two
-cmi-like sound/music
-new innovative gfx and adventure like handling (pointnclick yeahyeahyeah)
-no monkey kombat, its too lame
-a bananapicker
-cannibals
-monkeys
-pirates, insults, grog
-AN ID FOR BUYING GROG. actually in that panties i wear!
-monkey island feeling
-
thats why i say: one planet one language. this times will come either.
ps. english is widespread. and why not come together using english. so at least schokogrinser, youve could have tried it! (is ja ooch nich so schwer oder?????) but no one has to appologize for not knowing something. this is kind of stupid and far from year 2003 dudes. its like shouting a child for not knowing the world. (its just like an example)
-
What i didnt really understand is how can the giant ape head from SoMI become the ickywicky ape robot? who builded this silly stonemachine? its just ripped from that catapult in SoMI.. but not as half as cool.
-
in MI1 i liked Otis (without peppermint, guybrush wont speak to him, funny) but in EMI i dont like him anymore. He (and Carla too) lost some carisma in EMI.
So my favorite character in Monkey Island is of course Guybrush. Without him you wont meet all the other mad people there.. ;o]
-
I wouldnt say darker.. but deeper, more intense, grown up like (yes guybrush is now some way older).. and you cannot really compare MI1 and MI2 .. and both games are very, very funny. from insultswordfights to getting arrested by the cannibals, from largo voodoodoll to spitcontest and Elaines party with Guybrush the dog..

But even so, you'll need to do something about the 3D of the characters as EFMI was not anything like the MI feel of MI1 and 2 which is what most people love.
That's a fact you have to be concerned about. The 3D characters in EFMI were cool .. but it didnt hit my ssa like those in MI 1, 2 (and CoMI). .. I've just played 1, 2 and CoMI in a row and i must say i dont want it to be any other way!
I would suggest for any MI Game developer NOT to do it in 3D 3rd-person or I-person style.. 3D is ok, but since Tombraider Turok Quake (and lots more) hit screens some years (somemanymanymanyyears) ago it is nowadays just boring to get every game with optics like this.
Why dont try to do it with point'n'click-interface
..[that walking (=press 'up') all the time is not cool, hitting shift too long will cause win2k to come up with that special keyboardsettingsstuffcrap wich "now is activated"]..
by establishing graphics like in Monkey 1 2 3 using a 3D engine.. this will cause lots of work but it hits for sure..
(needless to say sound is the second most important point which developers of EFMI made biiiiiig mistakes. The mistake was to cut sounds almost complete off)
.. i posted this somewhere else in another thread .. but after done so i found this here so i did paste here ..

Tell the story BETWEEN MI1 and 2 .. what happened to Guybrush and Elaines love? Why are they divided? Etc.

Howd you come on this? did i wrote to fast? dunno that much words, eh?... if i calm down som more ill come out the HYPERACT side.. so keep ur lovely tovely for persons who needit, sugarplease.)
..this argument sounds .. argumentive (as sad as the circumstances are).. .. but it dont changes alot, right?
Internet Relationships...
in Ye Olde Harbour
Posted
hey, ladies drop your panties.. this topic is about to be lame. relationship in the way it used to happen since mankind come out .. is not to be practiced via distance .. keep it real. change knowledge, make fun, talk crap, all the stuff is internet and plus.
relationship is about get together mental and physical (hope you can imagine.. ) so if you cannot touch (i should rather say be in a short eye to eye distance, being together w/ or w/o friends etc. .. ) your (girl)friend at least once a week for some more hours then it's crap to call it relationship its a relation that ships away ..
Also, i think it's nearly impossible to fell in love (or like this) with someone u never meet personally. How? Character isnt only displayed by TALK and all that stuff ..e.g. A persons outfit will say much more then the crap he/she talks (what can be very thought through!!). You never even really now if it's male or female or exmale or exfemale or male in females body or female in males body or just me.
