User talk:RAP/Archive 4

Good job with minigames. Keep it up. Ryan repiles: Thanks, I actually had a lot of free time at my hands... BTW: How do I send messages to you/members?

For me, click my comment in my sig. Usually, users have a link to their talk page in their sig. Or you can go to their page, then click "Dicussion" at the top of the page.

Use of "You"
Please don't use the second-person (i.e. "you" or "your") when writing articles. Instead, use a character's name, or the word "player" (the player grabs the coin, etc., instead of you grab the coins). -- Son of Suns

Oh! And make sure you add "Category: Mini-games" at the bottom of you mini-game articles. -- Son of Suns

Ryan Repiles: How do I do that, I'm pretty much new here for the first day...


 * Simple write the word "Category" follow it with a ":" and write the category you want to put the article in, in this case "Mini-games" (like I wrote it in the previous comment). Check out the edit screen for any other article to see how categories are listed at the bottom. -- Son of Suns

Ryan Repiles: Hey! What happened on Mario Party 1's Minigames? I was working on that...


 * It seems each mini-game will have its own article and have a link on the big mini-games list page. -- Son of Suns

Hello
I was the one who created that page and recommend that when writing about mini-games, you mention every aspect of it.


 * Characters/species that appeared
 * Description of area
 * Whether it is 4-player, 1 vs. 3, etc.
 * How to play the mini-game (never use "You")

Oh and I also made a sig for you: Check this out! To use it add this before each of your replies:

Thank you and good luck!

Reply: Screenshots
Screenshots you take can be uploaded, as long as they are high quality. We have a few low-quality screenshots that are real eyesores. Don't go overboard though. One quality image per mini-game page that demonstrates the game well. -- Son of Suns Can you tell me a few examples of some low-quality screenshots?

Something like this, it is very low quality:



-- Son of Suns

One last question, what is the limit of when you upload a file like a pic?

"Images should be optimized for the web and its size should not exceed 100 kilobytes. Images' dimensions should be approximately the same size as on the official site and never exceed 600 pixels in width." -- Son of Suns

That first image of yours is very high quality. Good work. However, the first image in the page should be alligned to the right. Also, don't put "funny" captions in the image caption. Captions should be informative, not ridiculous. -- Son of Suns

Minigames!!!
WOW! Ryan, you are AMAZING. Sweet! Keep it up!
 * And your screenshota are INCREDIBLE! HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!

Ok, I'll let you get in a little secret; I used a N64 emulator and took some pics. :)
 * O_o Wow! Still, impressive.

Toad in the Box
Is the official name of the mini-game TOAD in the Box or Toad in the Box, as we have two of the same article? -- Son of Suns\

Ryan Repiles: In the offical Mario Party 2 game, the mini-game's name is TOAD in the Box.


 * Okay. I will megre the two articles to that name. -- Son of Suns

Mini-game Articles
I, for one, would just like to extend my hand in thanks for your contributions to the mini-games. I used to, but I got a little overwhelmed. Thanks for sticking to such a big project. Great work, man, keep it up.

Thanks, but I only have Mario Party 1 to 3 at my house but maybe I can read some FAQs from somewhere that someone made and covert into my own words.

By the way, where can I find that emulator? How does it work?

There is a eumlator that I liked the best and it's called Project64, the best eumlator around; however the beta version is downloadedable to only donaters, here's the website:, have fun!!

I GOTTA DONATE?! Oh, well. I have a NES/SNES emulator... I should be happy! I can play SMRPG!

Actually, the lastest version (1.6) is free to many users...

OK! So you gotta have an account?

What do you mean, I got the emulator for free.

You've done very well at creating these articles. I'm using a leftover image of a failed awards project as a token of my appreciation. It's not an award, though. :P 20:17, 2 February 2007 (EST)

Comment
Just something that's been bothering me. You keep putting "founded in Mario Party #" in your articles. The word sounds funny used in that context. Maybe "found in Mario Party #" or maybe just "in Mario Party #". 20:43, 31 January 2007 (EST)
