My hype meter pegged on this one!

[Gutboy Barrelhouse]

Cruising the MMORPG.com website I ran across this gem*.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

I need beta testers for a new game I am working on.

It is a mafia style RPG, and once you sign up you can PM other people, or talk on the forums, you can commit crimes to get money, you can train in the gym to get faster and be able to do crimes better, or you can train to get stronger so you can beat other people in fights, or you can mug people to get money. You can buy a house to get your "awake" up faster so that your training sessions are more fruitful. You can place bets for other people to take, and winner takes all the money. Plus if you are low on cash, you can check downtown and see if people left any money laying around. Also you can join gangs to get protection from stronger players.

I am now going downtown to see if anyone has left money laying around, back soon.

*Note that I have not gone to the website listed, so if you do the risk is on you.

[SnakeCharmer]

Shouldn't there be some green text somewhere?  Anywhere?

[Wolf]

You found a total of $975 searching downtown!

Man. Downtown is profitable. I think i'll grind downtown for a bit.

edit: ARGH. THEY NERFED DOWNTOWN:

You have already searched down town as much as you can today.

[Signe]

I saw that, too.  This is his profile:

You can mug people, join gangs and gamble.  How precocious for a 16 year old!  I think it's adorable.

90 miles from me and I have never heard of it. I worked in the courier business for almost 10 years, and have been to damn near every backwater in Western WA at one point or another. THAT is one small town!

[Lantyssa]

Small towns are boring.  It's probably why he made a game.

You can buy a house to get your "awake" up faster

My awake bar is OVER NINE THOUSAND.

[ajax34i]

Well, I've been thinking about the process of trying to wake up and get ready for work, RL, and how if that were emulated in a MMO, it would be right on par with what's expected of these games nowadays...

It all starts with a proper Alarm Clock trinket, do the quest for it asap!  Then, you have to upgrade the house with a green, blue, or purple bathroom, and enchant it with the "stay clean" enchant (with the white glow).  Then you need to grind for the coffee maker to drop, and farm mats for it, so you could speed up the regen on your "awake" bar.  It's a lot of work, but once you have these three items all set up, and a proper Outfitter addon, you can easily do a 3-move combo for almost instant awake.

Oh yeah, also remember, don't try to PvP the cops, if any, on your way to your grind area, "Downtown" or otherwise.

They're just hardcore gankers anyway; they have top gear and they'll just bring their entire guild along and hit you with a 10 or 20 on 1.

I like this guy.

[Nonentity]

I like this guy.

I like you too, schild.

So, have you picked up any of the GH1 song packs, or are you still watching the flames burn on the 360 guitar you pegged to an upside-down cross?

[schild]

Gonna grab the two I mentioned tonight.

[WindupAtheist]

It's... well... terrible.  But for being the product of a high-school kid in Bumfuck, Washington, it's an admirable effort.  He even has a little RMT microtransaction store where you can buy an uber gun for three dollars or a prostitute for fifty cents.  His little web game has apparently been up for all of about three months, and he's already trying to sell virtual whores for real money.  That's a kid with a future in the industry.

I'm kinda kidding, but not really.

[Gutboy Barrelhouse]

For a $0.50 whore what kind of "powerup" do you get?

[WindupAtheist]

Apparently each whore generates $300 of in-game cash per day.  It's basically just RMT currency, but packaged in an... um... unusual fashion.

[WayAbvPar]

For a $0.50 whore what kind of "powerup" do you get?

I am guessing something uncureable by modern medicine.

[WindupAtheist]

Hey everybody, now you can get a paid account for FREE!  And also a... picture of... an overweight seventeen year old boy... in a thong?  What the fuck?  The following is attached to the top of every page.

Do you love GRPG but don't want to pay money for an RM account? Get a free 15 day RM account in about 5 minutes! I signed up for a site called myYearbook. Its like myspace but way cooler. If i refer 5 people, I get a free thong. If you guys PM me your email, I will send you an invite. Then you check your e-mail, click on the link that is in there, and sign up for myYearbook using the same e-mail address as you sent me. Then register and activate your account (takes about 40 seconds total, I timed it). Then when you are done PM me to let me know you have done that and I will credit you with 15 free RM days. If I get 5 people to sign up, then when they send me the thong, I will take a picture of me wearing nothing but the thong, and upload it for you guys.

You will be showing your support for this game by helping my get something free, you will get 15 free RM days, and it will only take about 5 minutes of your time total.

Best of all you get to see a 20 pound overweight 17 year old who programmed this game in a thong, and whats better than that?
(This banner won't go away until I win my thong, lol)

[Gutboy Barrelhouse]

Wow, I swear I never went to this site. Thats just wierd about the whole thong thing.

Why can't Jessica Alba make a game and show us the thong?

[HaemishM]

Fuck the game, just show us that thong tha-thong thong thong.

[SnakeCharmer]

Dude.  You know how I know you're gay?

You wanna see a guy in a thong.

[HaemishM]

No, dude. I want to see the Alba Thong. It is an artifact of global importance, one hidden from normal humans by the Gods long ago lest we misuse its powers.

[Gutboy Barrelhouse]

Yep it's a very rare drop.

[Murgos]

No, dude. I want to see the Alba Thong. It is an artifact of global importance, one hidden from normal humans by the Gods long ago lest we misuse its powers.

I thought she did a small spread somewhere of tasteful, yet nude, photos.  I'm sure I've seen it.

[SnakeCharmer]

Maxim, probably.

Gawd, I love that magazine....

[WayAbvPar]

No, dude. I want to see the Alba Thong. It is an artifact of global importance, one hidden from normal humans by the Gods long ago lest we misuse its powers.

I thought she did a small spread somewhere of tasteful, yet nude, photos.  I'm sure I've seen it.

She hasn't done any nudity. There is no way I wouldn't know about it  :-D

[Signe]

What is an Alba thong?

[Signe]

Never mind.  I seem to have forgotten to read a whole bunch of posts.   

[Furiously]

No, dude. I want to see the Alba Thong. It is an artifact of global importance, one hidden from normal humans by the Gods long ago lest we misuse its powers.

She talks about what her grandfather would say to her if she did. So I'm sure there are a few people waiting on him to kick the bucket.

[Lantyssa]

She looks like a fifteen year old.  Forget her grandfather, she needs to age a little herself.

[Strazos]

Could you send some of your little hotties, 18-25 to south NJ please? They're going extinct here.

[publius]

So there I was, searching google for "thegrpg" to see if there are any results yet, when all of a sudden , I notice that someone made a post in a forum about grpg :) Hey, I am the

precocious

16 year old who made GRPG. I know that

It's... well... terrible.

but I am working on making it better. The thing that sets GRPG apart from other browser based rpgs is the fact that I (the programmer) actually pay attention to what players like and don't like about the game. This game was built only on what the players wanted, via the suggestions threads on the forum. Also, people actually post on the forums for GRPG (currently over 1300 posts) which is a vast amount for a game with only 200 some players :P Once the game is complete, where I and the community of GRPG players are satisfied and positive that there is nothing else to add to the game, it will be released open source for ANYONE to download and host on their server. This has been the goal since I first started the project, hence the name Generic RPG. It is so named because most of the mafia style rpgs out there are pretty much the same game but with different names and layouts, but they play the exact same. I figured that if everyone else is just going to clone a different game, I might as well save them the trouble by making it for them and letting everyone have the pleasure of hosting a completely unoriginal game on their site for profit.

p.s.
I laughed quite hard when I read this post.

Thanks for the complement about it being an admirable effort :)
