10. Madonna Online Presents: The BYOND Ambition Tour

9. Who Wants To Be A BYONDimaire

8. Dragon $#!%

7. The Developmentally Disabled Crave The Flesh of the Living

6. DBZ: The Authorized Version

5. Advanced Amateur Pornography and Dragons

4. Space Tug! The Musical

3. My Life as a Telesales Representative

2. Staircase Action (A prequel of sorts to a popular arcade game.)

--and the number one game rejected from the BYOND Hub--

--drumroll--

1. VirtuaDreamMaker, the Virtual BYOND Game... a detailed, realistic simulation of the Dream Maker environment, complete with a fully functional mock-up of the code, icon, and map editor. It's so much like you're actually using BYOND to create a game, you'll almost forget it's not real!

Wonderful, brava. I was wondering if you were going to add Lexyconnedme, the game where a young woman tries to manipulate you into voting only for her definition.

The choreography was somewhat lacking...

9. Who Wants To Be A BYONDimaire

Hard enough to find someone willing to part with a BYONDollar.

8. Dragon $#!%

The shovels weren't big enough!

7. The Developmentally Disabled Crave The Flesh of the Living

Too real. This one gave me nightmares.

6. DBZ: The Authorized Version

It wasn't like the anime.

5. Advanced Amateur Pornography and Dragons

Too advanced for some. That sad incident of the boy who broke his neck trying emulate the flexibilty of his character will haunt BYOND gamers for a long time.

4. Space Tug! The Musical

I liked this one! When the alien burst out in song while his second set of jaws was tearing into my cranium, it really made my day. :)

3. My Life as a Telesales Representative

Too ruthless. Most people couldn't handle the morality of issues in the game and went back to playing Bloodbath.

2. Staircase Action (A prequel of sorts to a popular arcade game.)

The newbies asking us to write code to simulate newbies asking us to write code gave me a headache.

I highly resent your implications... I would never cheat at Lexiconomy. I believe that if I can't win fairly using only my quick wits, deliberate misdirections, and ham-handed bribery attempts, then I don't deserve to win at all.

hey now.. i was hopeing something like this could be made.. it would be a world you loginto and ita only a chat room.. then everyone makes a line of code and the everyone votes on it.. then they do it again till they have a good amount of code going.. the you move onto the debug stage....

I think they'd need more than 60 seconds a round for that one.

yeah but not much more... i was thinking about 2 mins and 2 mins to vote..

the thing is codeing the game... i wouldent know where to begin.. i soppose i could make it add text to a dm file but how would i have the errors output to a log of sorts? so after the first round the host would compile and everyone would chose a line to edit.. or something.. aw nevermind. im going to go do my chess idea..
