Wouldn't that make it so you would have to constantly re-login? How would the server start a new session after the last one expired without the password?

Coming to the realization that I was at 999 posts, I figured I'd make my 1000th special by...not wasting it in some thread that didn't matter. It's funnny, because I pretty much never look at my post count, either hm. Well. Yay me?

Hope you dirty, stinkin' pirates enjoy paying Universal for the privilege of using a Zune. Wait, what do you mean you don't download illegally? That's not what Microsoft says. Oh, what's this? You say you don't listen to music on Universal's labels? TOO BAD. You're paying them anyway.

If you'll excuse me, I'll see if anyone's installed an orifice in Redmond so one could literally fuck Microsoft in the earhole. Dunno where Universal's headquarters are, but I'd imagine the same thing would be going on.

Could work if there's usually admins on and it doesn't take days ... and what if a re-registering moron eventually uses a legit looking name and unique IP?

• Using the overworld as a map. You'd go into a special room (mainly so the effects of reloading the level aren't so noticeable) and do something to "show the map", which would actually exit back to the overworld. You could choose how the map works: A, make it truly just a map; there's no way to move between levels, but you can use Start to browse. B, make it a teleporter, where you can choose a destination and jump to it; essentially just like SMW, except you could get from any point in the game to any other without ever using the map since it's all connected as one big level. You could have save points here too, possibly by hacking the save prompt routine to show a prompt after every level, so you'd be prompted to save every time you view the map. Only big issue is the music would change, killing the "just viewing a map" feel, but that's probably easy to avoid. Of course you'd need to disable 2-player mode, but could use custom blocks to switch Mario and Luigi for a 2-player coop game. (For 1-player mode, just tell the player to unplug controller 2. The game uses controller 1 for both if #2 is not present.)
  
• Building on this, submaps could be smaller planets or something.
  
• Obviously there'd be no time limit, but the timer could be invoked at any time if you wanted a time limit for certain parts, EG if you need to escape from an exploding space station. You enable the timer by just setting the current time limit to nonzero, but I'm not sure how you turn it back off without killing the player.
  
• FPS-like powerup selection. You can have many powerups but only use one or two at a time depending which they are. (EG you could use the cape and fireballs at the same time, but not fireballs and lasers.)

1. Not a particularly interesting screenshot.
   
2. Oh, poop.
   
3. The background colour is freaky in a good way.
   
4. Bah, I hate those one-platform jumps. I that BG though, and the birds are a nice touch.
   
5. Looks difficult.
   
6. Neat.
   
7. This is no place for a nap. Cool, but fireballs in a wet place like this?
   
8. Funfunfun.
   
9. Each penguin you add to this game makes you win that much more.
   
10. It's Alberta! Looks hard.
    
11. Neat. Background cutting off right below Yoshi looks a bit odd; a gradient might do well here.
    
12. Nice. Flaming Shyguys flying around at random is a pretty funny idea.
    
13. Interesting design here. Yay for Tall Guy.
    
14. NOT THE MONKEYS... those bastards.
    
15. Yow. Getting into the harder stuff now.
    
16. Looks good. Is it raining outside?
    
17. Interesting light effect. Bet it's a PITA to beat too.
    
18. I'm reminded of one of the good parts of Yoshi's Story.
    
19. Nice name. Background looks trippy. Hope there's plenty of eggs available.
    
20. Neat, but kinda odd that there's stumps floating there.
    
21. Nice background. Looks like another pain.
    
22. Fun! And pretty colours!
    
23. Poochy...
    
24. Ouch.
    
25. Agreed.
    
26. Cool.
    
27. Also cool.
    
28. I still love those shyguys. Like little FBI agents. If I ever make a YI hack I'm stealing that idea.
