Grunge Galley?

[Mynock]

I like it rubes.

[cornfed]

So, is information superhighway gonna be in or out? If in, it can be orange I think.

[reuber1]

It doesn't have the same starting letters though. :o

[Mynock]

I got to get some webby ones in there.

[cornfed]

oops!!

[reuber1]

CSS Causeway
JavaScript Jungle
Flash Fortress

How 'bout something for the printers?

[reuber1]

lol @ unreadable text trail

[reuber1]

Starburst Speedway

I'm on break, I got more time to post.

[Navian]

LuxTax: Bad Typography Tax
IncomeTax: Clashing Color Tax

Go2Jail: Prepair your chain!

[reuber1]

I think eventually we all play online or some such. One person can be the official dice man, and use this to roll for people

http://www.arcess.com/clockdice3.cfm

set it to 12, click it to "roll" and it randomly selects a number. The actual die that they have is only single, they don't have double. Or they could just make up numbers.

[TheBluePanda]

Lotsa font ones going on in there. Lemme see if I can contribute.

- E-Learning Laboratory
- Vector Valley
- Mockup Mansion
- Cubicle Maze

[Mynock]

We can remove some of the font ones if we have better ones. We can jockey stuff around.

[Navian]

what about a 12 sided dice? (http://www.delta-education.com/images/products/0409029.jpg) rolling snake-eyes, would be rolling a 2. but then you'd have to figure out how to incorperate the rolling doubles 3x's (autojail). maybe rolling even numbers 3x's or Odd numbers 3x's?

[reuber1]

If someone can find it online, I'm all for it. Preferably Flash or something where you can just click once and they roll.

[reuber1]

Nice software choices mynock. No Quark to be found, lol.

[Mynock]

PD got some large format ones? Wait, I do large-format.

[reuber1]

Alright ladies, who's got the community chest? lol

[balou]

I liked Spanky's BoomBlamo GO spot. But QOTW should be like a chance card - "You made QOTW, go directly to BoomBlamo GO and collect X amount of string."

[PersonasBinar]

Laminator Lane
Gatorboard Gulch
Plexi Place

[balou]

There was once a mention of Mushroom Island which was located close to Boobie Island. Drorain! Where are you?

[Loopy]

Cool idea... Although I think I'm missing something with the boobie island thing.

I just thought of something for the cards...
"you've been caught with pirated software, go directly to jail"
"You're client requested another round of revisions, go back 3 spaces"
"You've just won a logo design contest... collect $50." haha.



"

[balou]

Did we decide on a size? (of tiles, not mushrooms & boobies) :D

[Typically]

i have dibs on paint drip place if thats cool

the size was 2" wide by 4" tall 3/4 for the top color bar

we should get color codes for the color bars so they all match

[Neballer]

what did I miss?

and it's boomBLAMO™ :D

[balou]

lmao at boobie islands have to come in pairs. So is there one island with two mountains or two islands with one mountain each? Help!

[mac.FINN]

If we're doing this we should make our own money too.

[balou]

what did I miss?

and it's boomBLAMO™ :D

Oooo. Nebs TM lawyers will get on us if we don't use the proper branding guidelines. :eek: (I hear they accept bribes of PBR 12 packs)

[reuber1]

Nebs, there should be a thread started by cap'n spanky not too far down...that's got the info.

[Mynock]

Pocket lint is the unofficial official currency of GDF.

[reuber1]

If we're doing this we should make our own money too.OK, I'll go ahead and make scans of the bills in my wallet. :p

[TheBluePanda]

In my opinion, it would be more timeless and universally enjoyed if it didnt have GDF-specific items. Boobie Island is kind of an old thing. And no offense, but I don't think boomBLAMO will be very relevant a year from now.

[reuber1]

Not with that attitude!

boomBLAMO!!!

And Boobie Island is tradition here. It was an old thing when I signed up, but it still is kicking.

[Neballer]

Oooo. Nebs TM lawyers will get on us if we don't use the proper branding guidelines. :eek: (I hear they accept bribes of PBR 12 packs)
lol, who told you that. :D

[mac.FINN]

So you propose a GD-opoly, not a GDF-opoly?

[Navian]

I've got this cad file with a rough measured board.

Squared Board:
the large squares are 4"x4" the smaller ones are 2"x4" (tall).

If we want it to be exact scale, then if anyone at home with a monopoly board, please check the actual measurement. (metric or Inches, either I'll get it converted)

*edit* doh, just caught the measurements.. good thing though lol. because I already have it set at those sizes.

[Satchel]

How bout "Deadline Drive"... Before this got organized I was working on one of those!

[mac.FINN]

or Portfolio Plaza

[Navian]

Chance1: Bid Agreement?
Chance2: Deadlines?
Chance3: Getting Paid?

[Pica]

am i the only person who's a big enough indesign and keyboard shortcut dork to think that my "apple d place" was funny?

[Riya]

I thought it was funny.

[reuber1]

Bump a lump.

[morea]

taco shoppe!

[reuber1]

Chance3: Getting Paid?lol, after bumping this thread, I quickly glanced at this and thought it said something else.

[morea]

no taco shoppe?

[cjoe]

ah, okay, heres the REAL thread.

good job everyone! I call paint drip place or whatever it is.

[reuber1]

I liked Spanky's BoomBlamo GO spot. But QOTW should be like a chance card - "You made QOTW, go directly to BoomBlamo GO and collect X amount of string."I like this idea for Community Chest.


CC1: "You made QOTW!"
CC2: "You get a taco!"
CC3: "You won the caption contest!" (this doesn't happen anymore, just a suggestion though)

[urstwile]

A GDF Taco For Free card? I think not! :D

[reuber1]

Are those intended to be different cards for community chest, or are they the different tiles themselves?

[morea]

tacos must be earned.

Just like pancakes.

[CamarotaDesign]

Yes Monopoly!

Community Chest: Early contract termination fee

[Navian]

Pancakes = houses
Tacos = hotels. ;)

[Samakimoto Graphics]

Thanks for simplifying itlike so.

[captain spanky]

holey moley... i shut my eyes for a night and look what happens! you guys are like a jack russell with a postman's trouser leg in it's mouth! :D :D
gonna sit and catch up now... :)

[Samakimoto Graphics]

Ok...too much digression and no posts yet.

stop!

[reuber1]

Pancakes = houses
Tacos = hotels. ;)I like it! Maybe the other way around though? Not to devalue morea's tacos or anything, but I think if given the choice between a GDF pancake and a GDF taco, we would prefer either (actually, if your mind is in the gutter like mind, technically both are equal...)

[Mynock]

I figured Pancake = House (little hint to IHOP), and Taco = Hotel (sounds like Tacobell), it just sounded cool. ;)

[morea]

tac-o-tel

[Mynock]

tac-o-telLOL, you guys are funny.

[morea]

it was sorta like a contraction... and by that I don't mean the spasm of pain one has when one is in labor.

[Navian]

tac-o-tel
