One method I've seen for it is to have the month in Roman numerals, so it's clear whether you have it before or after.

e.g. 1st April 2007 would either be 1-IV-2007 or IV-1-2007.

It's not a very common method though,m I'm personally more fond of "Apr 1 2007"

I use binary... that way the project manager's have no idea when I'm supposed to finish the project. It also proves they don't read my specs... but at least I'm covered ;)

I know that necroing a thread is probably frowned upon, especially one of such, err... caliber as this one, but I have to say I'm surprised at exactly how many of these feature requests have actually come perilously close to being included in DROD!

Apologies for the inevitable duplications that will have arisen, but I can't seem to find a topic where they are all together in one place.

How about giving Beethro a Ray Gun? Every turn, things in a line in front of him die! And then there could be a potion that makes it 3 lines! Wouldn't this be cool!?

It's true. A game isn't really a game unless you can be telefragged.

Game on,

Ooh! I have a great idea! What if Beethro could fall into the nothingness and die?

Hmm. This is back to the ray gun thingy, sorry. But, what if there were some enemies that could reflect his ray gun? With that, the ray gun could trap another enemy. And you would need to keep that trapped one there so that lets say, the pressure plate would be down for another enemy.
Kind off confusing, but it would be cool.

I'm impressed with how TCB incorporates these suggestions (and perhaps others) without deviating too significantly from the original DROD concept.

It's elementary, my dear Watson. You forget that none of our admins are trained in the field of sarcasm.

How about there's like, a thing, and this thing unlocks a combo system and the combo breaks if a turn goes by without a monster being killed. Every 10 combo counts you get an item that can lets Beethro take an extra hit and every turn you're in a combo, you get an amount of gold equal to your total combo count, this can be transported to other holds.

You see, that's the other thing the thing does, Beethro becomes a persistent character who keeps every upgrade you buy. With this, you can go back to older holds you were never able to beat and do so easily. Of course, this also makes a good deal of holds unsolvable, but you can save up to 600 Beethros.

PUZZLE POTENTUL! PUZZLE POTENTUL!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111

Oh, and bump.

I know this is just a sarcastic (albeit enjoyable) thread, but you could make the game insanely easy if you played a hold you made where you just slash monsters all day. Six-thousand turns straight of killing monsters will get you those 600 extra lives you want. Once you had all those lives, you could just zip to any hold you wanted to and kill mercilessly!

Although, this could be a realistic feature request provided there are ways to prevent this from being too powerful.

The driving idea behind my request was that it would quite simply destroy every hold ever made.

Oh! Oh! How about every time Beethro steps on a checkpoint, kills a monster, or toggles any type of door, he becomes invulnerable for 30 turns!

Or how about when Beethro steps on a checkpoint, kills a monster, or toggles any type of door, all doors in the hold close! Wouldn't that be awesome!?!?

Ooooooooh! How about Beethro steps on a potion that enlarges his sword by 7000 tiles? That means he can kill everything in the entire level just by rotating! PUZZEL POTNTIL PUZZEL POTNTIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about you, but IMO, the funniest requests in this thread were those that sounded silly, but could conceivably be introduced into DROD without too much hassle and which were delivered to us with a semblance of mock seriousness.

Although this thread is sarcasm, I'm sure you guys could put a little more effort into your ideas and try to be a bit more thoughtful in posting.

This sort of thing:
PUZZEL POTNTIL PUZZEL POTNTIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
isn't all that funny since you're spoiling your own joke.

Well, I was just trying to imagine feature requests that would seriously break the game. I wasn't trying to be all that thoughtful, because it's surprisingly easy to break the game like that.

For example, an idea of a ludicrous but still reasonable feature request in DROD would be something like this:

"How about a monster in the game that needs to be awakened, is invulnerable to Beethro's sword, is deathly afraid of decoys, and moves like a rock giant."

It sounds a little silly and wouldn't be implemented, but it doesn't purposely break the rules of the game. Although it's not as humorous as some of the other insightful feature requests on this page, it still follows the rules.

Misspelling "Puzzle Potential" is just a little tradition for this thread. Being a guy who follows ludicrous traditions for unknown reasons, I decided to follow.

I hope now you understand the reason for posting the things we did in the format we did.

Well, alright. I guess I should just have said that yelling "puzzle potential" like that was getting a bit old and left it at that.

On that note, maybe Beethro could tell some really bad Eighther jokes when you click his portrait. You know, like:

Q: Why was the tar mother late to the party?
A: She was being tar-dy!

There are many threads that match. We could move it to one of the others instead.
