nonono! At NewAge Mugen, weird is good!

The term "retard" I said there has its own special definition we use here. It's something along the lines of "one who is weird but cool and also tends to post odd things/replies"

Don't feel bad. Feel retarded good  :PokeRaep: 

Watta is a retard.







See? It fits without any negative intention. :Fudgeyes: 

----------

On a serious note, I think we should share our resources, renders, WAV files, etc. so that we'll be able to add more stuff to our creations. Perhaps we should put them in a RAR file? I'm kinda lacking the resources department right now.

A heads up to our new team members.
- PROMOTE NEWAGE MUGEN!!
- If given the chance, try inviting new people here, but make sure they'll be kewl.
- If you guys need testing with your new creations, the other team members are here, and are willing to give out feedback! We won't go easy on the feedback though.


Good luck! :PunkSmirk: 

I've tried inviting MANY people now. The only good (and active) person who I can see that actually stayed was HungryWolf

Also, for the sharing resources thing, we should make some private thread where all the staff (including Newagers) post all their secret resources and trick n whatnot. We could also do that "shared stages" idea I was talking about in it. I think it will work, it sure did with the Phantom G's

Also welcoming Hungry Wolf! The promotions for a majority of the people we've selected have been chosen. It's 95% likely that you're looking at the full team as of right now. Get used to each other, love each others faces, you'll be spending lots of time together (muahahahaha)

This, 100 times this!! Lol just kidding. We'd love for you to bring in new members, invite whoever you want, if you want. Also, if you guys find the time (obviously not for all of you) but some newagers who aren't chat familiar or active, come on by!

Most of us are on skype as well.
And here.
And everywhere.
We're losers.

The resources is a wonderful idea. We can make it here in the team discussion thread. Of course it's a no brainer that content used is Newage material and we expect it to be used for Newager content.



ATTN: REGARDING ALPYNE, VEGAZ, & DOWX

We spoke to Alpyne already obviously, so we're leaving him on and hopefully we'll see or brotha around more! Still have not heard from Vegaz or DOWX. I will attempt to contact them in a few days if word hasn't been received for them to come here. Then I will commence a 2-3 week time gap for them to be able to come here, to this thread, and post their piece. This is ample time for them to make a date they can let us know what's up. If they don't show up, or depending upon their response (if it's negative) they will be demoted. If there's no contact with the creators, they will be promoted to yellow contributors. If there's contact made and they step down respectfully with the intent of regaining it another time, they'll most likely receive VIP.

Does the material and psds that i found around count as resources or just mean the stuff i do?

If you find/have useful animations/psds/stage(or screenpack) wips/images/music/anything you think will help the team and you feel like sharing it then you can. You aren't obligated to share anything.

okay copy that

I'm asking if we can keep the thread private.... Don't want no annoying people stealing potential NAM stuff and claiming as their own when someone in the team worked hard to make it or share it...

Nvm, I just realized that this is in the VIP section...  :Cosby: 

The Team Discussion board we're i right now is only view-able by Newagers, admins and mods.

Well...here I am yet again. On the brink of demotion. Seems like I go threw this once a year. Lol! But seriously. I can't help but condider gracefully bowing out. But then I realize. ..that's not my style. 3 weeks? Ok. I'll see what I can do...

I'm not trying to be unfair with you, Vegaz. I am just trying to rebuild the team to be a bit stronger. Because upon my return I've noticed the team's definitely lacking motivation and activity once in a while, which is okay. Many people in mugen creation (myself included) experience the "block" problem. You can't do anything no matter how hard you try, or sometimes real life obligations to just go way further than mugen which is also 100% understandable.

The 3 week thing wasn't a deadline for you to create or be a 100% 24/7 active participant. Whenever you find time that you'd like to contribute to Newage, help build Newage, be active in the forum/chat and work with the team we'd love for you to do so.

I, nor Diss created this thread with the intention of demoting anybody but more or less trying to see if they're even still aware that we're here, lol.

I really like you Vegaz, I've seen how much potential you have and that's why i bug/continue to bug you about this team thing, we all really want you around as much as you can be lol. But for all Newagers, not just you, we're requiring activity (mandatory) and contribution (when user convenient, but obviously there's a reason you're on the team), this is why we didn't just get trigger happy with demotions and tried doing them as respectfully as we could.

I'm glad you're not bowing out, I'm glad you're staying, and I hope we can see you around a lot more and not have to ever have this discussion again. Thanks for letting us know what's up. Hopefully we see you around so more and can even work/collaborate with you some more.

Thanks LilBro. Trust me I didnt take it the wrong way. I appreciate your humility and fairness. I was just kidding around. Although I REALLY DO go threw this type of thing evry year. Lol!

It's ironic actually. My cpu has all but completely stopped working. Sound familiar? It's slowed me down. I do all my forum activity from my phone. Which brings me to another point. The online classic version is Really wonky. But anyway. I try not to sound like a winny lil school girl but I guess you guys won't know my situation. ..unless I share with you what it is. See ya around...

Yeah, we won't know unless we're told lol. I had similar problems and had to connect to xat/NAM via ps3. But this thread is only within the team, you can say anything here it's fine, lol. Nobody but the team is going to see that, hopefully there's at least some trust there.

i no trust nones of youse gais!

Glad to see the team somewhat coming together a bit more, I've missed this.

I feel like when this all started I was a bit unclear about the qualifications of the Newager rank, I'm not poking shots or trying to re-stir the unsettled pot, however, I'm going to bluntly lay things out.

1. If real life permits you, and you're busy and you can't be a daily/extremely often visitor: Don't be a Newager.

2. If you don't plan on logging in for that long, or not visiting the chat/forum at all: Don't be a Newager.

3. If you don't like the team/staff: Don't be a Newager.

4. If you don't plan on working with team often/testing the teams creations and helping them improve to the best of your ability: Don't be a Newager.

5. If you're not as active as you could be (release wise) and you don't plan on creating much anymore: Don't be a Newager.

6. If you don't plan on advertising the forum/trying to help activity flow as if the forum was YOUR OWN.: Don't be a Newager.

7. If you're just using the spot to get private releases. : Don't be a Newager.

8. If you're not proud of your spot, it means nothing to you. : Don't be a Newager.

Always realize, just because you can't fit the qualifications for the Newager rank does NOT mean we're going to alienate you, or remove you from the forum or anything like that. You'll simply be demoted from the rank to a rank more appropriate for you (contributor, VIP, super contributor, graphic artist) etc, and if you attend the chat you'll be allowed there regardless. We've had plenty of people respectfully step down.

Also always realize, we like you. You were asked and bugged to be here for a reason. Everybody or a majority of the team decided that you were good for that spot, so don't feel like we dislike you ever. We just want you guys to work with us.

[/Annoying GLB]

GLB, I also think you should make a qualification list on how to become a Newager. I noticed some people wanting to be part of the team. One of them was Taybear. He said he's been here in Newage for more than a year, 24/7. It's just that he didn't really post because he was shy. He was laughing at out Shitfest Random posts though.

Anyway, yeah, he wants to be part of the team, but he doesn't know how.

@GLB is ok for you if i afiliate NAM to MTM?

i was gona do this yesterday but probably would be better if someone from here (Probably Diss) ask for it and give some info about this forum there you may get some new members.

Yeah, I'm okay with it as long as they are aware we're an English speaking forum and we'd prefer to not have random reply's in Spanish to English threads.

He was inactive here for months though.  :orton: 


He just recently showed up to try and be Newager after he realized he'd get to test privates, lol. That's not exactly the best way to make yourself aware of it, but i'll try and figure something out. What do you suggest and where do you suggest I post it?

I think an influx of people that "want to join the team" will happen a lot when releases that're private are showed off. In this case, Diss's SP.

I know I'm new to the team, just thought id voice my opinion.
Definitely make a qualification list, if the there is people that make the cut select them by what they can do to help the team.
Don't just bring members in  because they have been here for a certain amount of time, like you said they just might be interested in privates lol .

Edit-
I just read this whole thread, thanks for the kind words guys.
I'm glad to be part of the team.

On a side note I have a tone of renders and sparks, flares , and other looped animations I have made on AE that I would love to share with you guys. Should I post this in the resources section or wait until a private section for only new age resources is made or just make a thread in the private section??

Well, damn. I didn't know that. My bad.

Well, since Newage is a GFX-based forum, perhaps possible candidates should be knowledgeable when it comes to those matters. Mugen coding knowledge and their methods should also be taken into account. And most of all, their absolute loyalty to our great and mighty overlord, GLB! enthusiasm and willingness to support and help the forum.

Good point. Perhaps we should tell people that Newage doesn't have a private section? Actually, no. I think we should also take into consideration if the candidate is a very trustworthy member, that is partially known to the community. We should also try to check out the person's history, if he/she is mentally stable, or otherwise.

I say we should add a Resources Thread that can only be accessed by Newagers and VIPs! Think of it as a benefit of being part of the team, plus it's a step up to other forums!

Don't ever be afraid to let back and give me a kick in the ass if i need it! That's why I recruit Newagers, I want their opinion to count too and I REALLY WANT for them to speak up and say what they feel. The thing i hate the most is when i have to ASK someone for their opinion in team based stuff. I'd prefer them to just speak up instead of holding back, sometimes i'm just an ass and I need to be guided, as a team I expect us to be more like a family than a forum for mugen, that may be why we let a lot more things go. For the list, I'll see what I can do.

We're glad to have you on the team!

For the sparks, you're welcome to make a thread in Team Discussion since only the team (founders, admins, gmods, newagers) can see it. If you'd like the public to be able to view/use it then I'd put it in resources.

That's not a bad idea, since the team should have several factors that can balance into one ultimate mugen machine. I suppose graphics could be taken into account, they would have to make A LOT though IMO, and there'd have to be some heavy team stuff to bring them in for it. I prefer it to be more mugen based, but then again our video makers get team spots too.

Nah, I think it's obvious enough already there's a private section we don't really speak much of it anyways lol. But no, I may have phrased it weirdly the other day when i posted that. It doesn't upset me when they join and want the spot only for privates because that's a huge way to get experienced creators interested, but they're only considered if they actually want to be on the team and just see the DL's as a benefit, not a sole reason.


I think a private resources thread is a great idea, it'd be a lot easier for you guys to work together. I've considered this for this team discussion board and a thread based on team beta testing so you don't have to go frantically through the chat or PM function.

I've already suggested that private resources thread god knows how many times now. But we're all too lazy to make it lol

Someone make the thread already! It would be a great way for us to help out and contribute to our million unfinished projects!

Also, we should try to get Margatroid 4 Newager. That guy makes awesome stuff and actually helps out a lot :ILU:

You're a part of the brotherhood now, make me proud :')
YES MAKE THE THREAD PLEASE!

I don't think Margatroid would do that, I've had brief conversations with him about it slightly. He was willing to advertise Newage on his website (in his contact info) but i don't think he wants to join the team, he'd rather just hang out, which is fine.

Man...liiis hard to say.  I've been thinking about it for the last two weeks. And I've decided...

I am stepping down as a Team Member.

I read the list of qualifications and I fit almost every one. Except the last one.  Especially the last one. I felt like I would be quitting if I didn't try. But the truth is my heart just isn't in it. That and rl. I thank Zeroz(come back bro) for inviting to the team and Mark for inviting here in tue first place. And LilBro for giving me a third chance.   However I do plan on staying.

I humbly request the rank of Super Contributor.

I realize that would throw me out of the loop completely. But VIP just doesn't appeal to me. Also guys that I look up to have held/hold this rank. I hope you guys consider my proposal.
