ok, I uploaded it here: http://www.twistedport.com/misc/toker.jpg


Harmonizing new illusions...
ICQ: 67751342

Yah, I'd like to get these new slimies, I know my perl much better now than I did when I started this project. If anyone want to do a minor image tweak, I was thinking of adding one level higher than a "burning folder". I was thinking of an "exploding folder" for threads with more than 60 posts. Ideally it should burn->burn->boom!, then repeat. Any takers?

Your pal, -doc-

docilebob and mahjqa's slimies should be added. They rock!
Especially mahjqa's flame one. I've been waiting forever to see that one, lol.

Doc are u asking for an animated gif of an exploading folder? Cause when I get back to the states ill be more then happy to do it! but I think that the expload should be for threads over 100 or maybe over 75.

Dark, I think we definatly need a :doh!: slimie BADLY and an evil one too, like >=) a sort of mad scientist slimie!

Hmmmmm.....what about a...
:busty:
:girl:
:housewife:
:grandpa:
:grandma:
.....etc, etc, basically a range of 'female' emoticons?!?!?!?!?!
Also where would I get me some tutorials on how to create my own slimies???!!!!

-=Luxo Jr.=-

Doin' wierdassed animations since 1986

Slime - kinda ironic that to establish some individuality you have to stop using your own creation

Luxo - tutorials??? Grab a slimie, change the face.......uh......save it.

-

Personally, I think we need a :bullshit: slimie.

Maybe I'll work on that one when I get home DL.

sounds like a good one!

-Jestah
Cell 277

For the 'one step up from burning' topics, how about a folder with an animated mushroom cloud in front of it. Now THAT'S hot!

lol@DL, but what would we use that for?

Umm...do I sound stupid when I ask what a "taxon" is?

hahaha... Taxon was a member of this bored that changed his name.

they dont really apply now do they???

cb: A taxon is a classificatory category hence taxonomy - the study and classification of all living things.

The reason it is here is because that is what Michael used to be called.

oh ok...so I'm not stupid...whew

I do think we need the "im with stupid" and some of the other slimies Taxon made... they were pretty sweet stuff.

Just because no one seems to be reading the FAQ article on this I thought I'd quote a tibbit from it here:

Slime says:

quote:

---

As for more? I suppose I wouldn't mind making a few more. I'd sort of prefer that I did it if anyone did... I don't mind when people go ahead and make their own for fun, that's cool, but if they're going to be in regular use, I'd like to make them so that they fit what slimes should and always have looked like. =) You know, you draw one character over and over for years, there becomes a right and a wrong way to do it.

---

Just because some don`t read the first post..

Slime says ( in part) :

quote:

---

but we're considering adding new slimies to the Wiki, and also to the Asylum if Doc is up to adding the code.

Just letting you all know. If we don't get enough suggestions i don't think it's worth doing =)

---

Well i guess i'll engage in this conversation seeing as the good name is being tossed around...

Just to be clear yet again on this fact.... I had specifically asked Slime if me atering the slimies was cool with him... Also, knowing that the ones i created would be used infrequently... it surely was no problem.

I don't think i ever posted all the ones i made... (mebbe a dozen in all)....a few animated ones thrown into the mix as well.
I had them all in a public folder on my old website.... but i took it down about a month and a half ago.... and at present, I belive i have them all in a folder on my desktop.... However... it'll be a while before my belongings catch up with me.. as i'm in the middle of an overseas move.
Perhaps i'll drop the link to the folder when i get it back online....... But to back up one of Slime's points..... slimies don't have hands.... and mine do.

I, personally.... could really care less if more slimies are implemented....
as long as we still have the "rolleyes" slimie... i'm content..... AND.. as long as we don't make =) the code for a slimie. I'm another person who likes the =) just the way it is.

I guess if i were to make another one.... it'd probably be something like...
the "InSiDeR is a complete fuckin' dipshit" slimie....... or something along those lines.

That's just my useless commentary on the subject...
And me siezing a perfect opportunity to be an asshole.

Cheers all.

You know sme people just pis... hold on. I mean make me happy. Micheal you remeind me of someone i know. I dont know but hey they're cool to be with. Anyway, My two cents:

I dont make slimies therefore i dont have much to show. I think more smilies should be made and Doc add that Toker Slimie.


Ghosts of Rock

Maybe we need a whackmichael slimie...wait a minute...that's also my first name...so forget I said that...

Just a note...

When I first made the suggestion (was it me who made the original suggestion? no... it wasn't, so forget that), I was thinking of much less silly slimies. Like, simple ones... the enlightenment one emps mentioned for instance, just some new expressions.

The thing is, the random slimies are funny, but they'd get pretty stupid if they were as easy to use as just saying :vampire: or whatnot. For instance; Mr Max's slimies with twirling eyes are funny, but they're sort of his thing, and they pop up in specific times (like when someone said something funny).

So, I think we shouldn't add any of the silly slimies, like ones with signs or geared towards very specific situations. Just some general ones that we can use in regular conversation. That way we can be sure we won't overdo it with the funny ones; those were always best as just occasional things that someone would throw together... to make fun of taxon (michael), for instance. =)

Oh, one more point: I use the word "slimies" only to make a pun with the word "smilies", as the UBB image-emoticons are called. The small slimes that we use for emoticons on this board are called "slimies". Everywhere else, the creatures are just called "slimes". Just keeping everyone clear on that point, so no one gets confused =)

How about a "chill out" slimie? I've seen that phrase used quite a bit recently. Maybe it could have a coat like Kenny from southpark.

I would very much like to have :vomit: and :doh: slimies at my disposal.

Oh I almost forgot! I think Mahjqa's issed: is too good to pass up.

I knew people would agree with my :doh!: slimie but we really need a mad scientist slimie, when I get to the states thats the first thing im gonna do, make some slimies!

They are after all emoticons a shorthand way of expressing an emotion and I'm not sure how the 'career' slimies fit in (at least in the suggestion for adding to the Asylum's basic set) so here are the ones I'm in favour of:

:doh:
- for when you want to tell people to RTFFAQ. A slimie with a book
! : &#41; - enlightenment for when they penny finally drops (thats if it ever does I suppose). Its got to be a slimie with a lightbulb appearing overhead.
:vomit:/:barf:
:wow:
&#58;pissed:
:cookie: - for when we've been good boys and girls
I'd like a thumbs up and a double thumbs up but Slimies have no hands.

We've already got most of these on offer above. Any others?

I'd like a slimie of just a cookie with this code: (: I'm also all for adding M ahjqa's : issed:: or > ::barf:: sounds good too, but I wonder if just a <blink>-ing slimie would do the trick

PLeeaaseee no blink.... It's Evil!!! You know in the old days.. the whole net was blinking.

Yech.
Suggestions:

The Pissed one (nice job Mahqja)
:Sad: (like feeling real bad) could be used when a someone or something has a problem (lie the loss of a dog)
:Sick: (a red nose droopy eyes pale color)
:Wizard: (with a nice pointy head) for guys/gails who can do a special trick
:LSD: (with lots of colors) When something weird happens
:Rich: (sitting in coins) you know... done a good deal.

I will fire-up photoshop later this week and give it a shot.
I meant this serious...

Ok, the idea came to me when sitting in the sand for about an hour...

We need a slimiekit.psd, where we have a blank slimie with the layers for mouths, eyes, hair, signs, thought-clouds, and such, so people can make there own slimies!!!!!

edit: OH OH OH we need a :duh: slimie badly...

[This message has been edited by InSiDeR (edited 05-31-2002).]

Yeah, I like that idea. Do a "Dress the Slimie" page. You could call it StorSlimie or something. Do a base Slime bigger than the ones here, some things to go with it, and I'm sure people will be willing to contribute various accessories and what-not.

This is Pekachue... not pissed.

He is my baybe (used to be my sig).

be kind to him please!

I want a little commando slimie. Some little knife in his mouth, and a camoflage bandana!





<edit>Those look better on a white background</edit>



[This message has been edited by Pugzly (edited 05-31-2002).]

LOL I love that lil commando dood,

What we need is a website like the pixel person website we all used for the yearbook, but this website is devoted to slimies!!!! Any volenteers? As soon as I get back to the states I will work on some slimie images and accessories.

The problem with the commando dude is that he uses his hands to fire that gun... slimies don't got any.

I like the Stor Slimies idea. You know StorTroopers are really meant to be purchased as an add on to message boards. For instance each person along with filling out your e-mail addy, web page, location, interests etc. also gets to make a custom "StorTrooper" avatar. A slimies package like this would be cool too.

Maybe I should get me head out of the clouds though. I dunno if Slime would be interested in sharing the pov source code for his slimies?

mm... I think you're all going overboard with this.
I wouldn't mind some sort of release of about 3 new slimies.... but much more than that would get kind of annoying. I very much enjoy the simplicity of Slime's creation...... an emoticon/image that hasn't been jaded by the evil 15 year olds of the internet.
And i won't disagree that it's fun to play around and have "special use" slimies..... for instance... Max's rolling eyes slimie.... or Mahalaawqaea's taxon beating slimie....
I'm more guilty of doing it than anyone else.... and i'm certainly guilty of acting many years younger than my age more often than i should.

I'd also like to take this chance to say that slimies break lines.... and personally... i find that annoying..... and i think, if at all possible..... IF more slimies are added..... the total number of slimies used in a post.. (presently eight, i think).... should be reduced to 5.... or something... There's sure to be a massive influx of their usage for a while.

And while it's pleasant to entertain the idea of a sort of StorSlimie thing....
simply speaking... i don't think it'd work as well as you think. (or at all, for that matter)


Although I may be a part of the minority to preserve the slimie..... i intend to form an organization to fend off the evil oligarchy of the 15 year old. http://www.savetheslimie.com (pay pal donation area coming soon) =)

.: michael :.
.: save the slimie dot com :.
.: it's a fuckin' revolution :.
.: show your support :.
.: save 'em dammit :.

I'm with Michael on this - if people want to make their own special Slimies then they should feel free but we shouldn't go overboard with new ones. db and mahjqa have thrown in some good ones (some of which appear to be be 'keepers') but I'll requote Slime again:

They are, sort of, his babies so I think the final say and the creation of any more new ones should be up to him.

This shouldn't stop people coming up with special slimies as they have always been an interesting aspect of the Asylum and by not making them offical ones they won't get overused and so they'll stay special
