That was a nice introduction to the site today, I don't know why but today I went on the main page before coming into the forum...I normally come here directly, a happy coincidence I'll say. I was watching it and I noticed people I knew's avatars and I thought it was pretty cool when mine appeared as well. Good stuff!
Hey, John, good maps, a 'Good stuff!' goes out from me to you as well. _________________

Whoa! Usually I just go straight to forums here and skip the main site, but I was using a public computer today and went through the main. And this was waiting for me! Insane!
Anyway, this is a great use of flash. But if you ever decide to make the whole site out of flash I swear I will cause you much pain. Flash animation good, flash sites bad.
And I agree that my avatar looks totally out of place, especially right next to Midori's art. But I will never change it- nothing shall conquer the shrew. _________________

I must say that I am quite impressed with that intro. The music sounded great. I admit that at some points the transitions were a little fast though.
By the way how often do you plan to update the numbers about the nations or is this going to be a one time thing?
-=Edit: I just rewatched it and noticed that you added people's avatars to the countries. I'm glad that mine was there, but I am curious as to how you decided which ones to put there.=- _________________ "Ye shall be as gods."

That intro is perfect SARS. I remember starting one ages ago to give you for the site, but it sort of lost momentum when I kept screwing up my programs!
Will you be making regular updates of the flash or not? _________________

Glad people like it and stuff. I just improved the flash by adding avarats of members of each nation to the movie.

Too bad I didn't had my avatar on, Its way too cool xD
Jokes aside, Its very well done. I assume its not a very hard program to use (considering you did it in a day) or is it because of your magnificent skills in the arts of "flashing"? I say this because I always was rather fond of flash watching, and doing one would be nice for a change. _________________ DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! |

I was wondering who's avatar I was missing for Island Nations, it was you!
And as far as regular updates go, I doubt I'll do that. The flash is just to give an idea of what sort of stuff goes on with the whole war thingie.
I'm using a free flash-making software called swishmax, which to me is pretty easy to use. My understanding of other editing software probably helped though, because the interface was familiar. |

Very, very nice. I can't believe I missed this earlier. (And I saw myself on it! Yay!) Things like this will definitely make more people want to join. _________________

Even if the map seems way zoomed out SARS I must say you have done a superb job on that intro!!! :o I am most definitly impressed, I would help but all my computer has is "Ye Olde "Paint"" program, which is ok for small scale things, not a map like ours. _________________

the music is nice. I'm wondering how did you choose who's avatars(current) to use? and who'm would show up.
I mean its based on a totaly random thing is it. some members don't post as much or anymore. some are new, so was there a process.
overtime you'll master flash, i take.

Ahh I'm just going to call my Harmonian buddy "Black Shadow Wolf Fang" from now on. :lol:
But that's a really awesome flash. It's like a nice commercial. I think I'm going to go back and watch it, because I didn't see the avatars yet.
Are you going to keep it in a safe place after you take it out of the index? I'm sure there are some of us that want to see it even way after that.
Oh yeah, great map too, JBL. Post it when you're done there, good buddy. _________________

I really like the new addition to the flash movie, with the avatars.
My favorite part was i was there and i was next to the Duke and Njord, made me fell like a very important part of the Islands. _________________

I keep logging in through main url of this site just to see the flash movie intro. It's just wonderful! Kudos to SARSadmin for this wonderful addition to this already wonderful site. It was splendid. _________________ ~ Humbly walk the path of death

Wow! That's so cool! I came to the site and the flash started...I thought, "What's that?!" And I was pleasantly surprised. Great job SARS! _________________

I actually saw it just now. It's really well done. I do know scripts on controlling the music... But it's fine as is! I see myself in there... It's so amazing! Keep it up, you guys! :mrgreen: _________________
