Discussion about the newsletter

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Good evening everyone.

I finally have my website up. It will be offline occasionally over the next week or so whilst I sort out my software, but for now it is available to read.

The website is www.pokiemarshal.com (http://www.pokiemarshal.com)

The newsletter is available through one of the links on the main page.

Feedback would be appreciated. The newsletter has a couple of links that enable you to send me emails with suggestions. Please try and be polite

For newcomers to the Pokie Magic world, there is a detailed description of each game on the site along with the newsletter.

[Petals]

It looks great Greg. Lots of information in there was new to me so it has done it's role - to inform us all.

Congrats!!

[Saniqua45]

Greg wants to keep an air of respectability in his Newsletter...that rules out any stories about Paul !

/webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Timetoplay]

I think the Press Release was more than enough, don't you think... I mean what we know about him now is not for general reading... that posse is still out there you know!! /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Actually Paul, it seems to me that you're the obvious choice since almost every post inevitably comes back to a reference about you /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headscratch.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif Wonder why that is?? /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/poke.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/poke.gif Well??? /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Paul, when you hold as many high scores as you do, AND brag about it (which you do) you are bound to appear in lots of threads.

Get used to it, mate. It is called fame!!! /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

[Macoz]

Thank heavens !

/webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Dionss]

greg - good work done on your site - a thing i would like to see topics discussed on the forums which sometimes don't get time to read and have missed an important point about games etc eg. links heading and just name of a topic etc

thanks for the info

[Timetoplay]

That's a good idea, could be really useful! /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/15cool.gif

[Chuck]

Great job and very informative. Have a question that your newsletter section prompted. How many people are on the
"Pokie Magic Team" (design team) that is referred to? I wonder, because as far as these forums-we hear from Admin only.

[Sue]

Congratulations Greg on a job well done... /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/award.jpg /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/award.jpg

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Chuck, that is a question I asked, and was told in no uncertain terms that the team is not ready to introduce themselves in public.

All I (and the rest of us) know is Adam (Admin) and Lawrie.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

I'm sorry, but my English to Greggles dictionary is on strike.

Can you give me that again in plainer terms please?? I know it makes sense, but I cannot get the drift of it.

Do you want me to do a forum summary??

[Kitkat]

Greg, I've checked out your site and what more can I say except, Well Done!

I can't wait to see who you profile next. Are you asking other forum users or are you waiting for someone to voluteer?

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

I have a sucke....I mean, volunteer for issue 2, Katina. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

still no questions from readers tho /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleeping.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleeping.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

The next newsletter is still a few days away, it is awaiting Pokie Magic approval.

I have updated the bitmapped pages. If you are on ADSL connection (or have a dial-up and some time) have a look and let me know what you think. There is no information changes, just the look and feel of the pages has changed a bit.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Would anyone like to put themselves forward to be the Profile person for Issue 4?

Questions will be the same.

If you want to be the profile person, please send me an email with the answers to the questions. If you dont know my email address, PM me or use the link in the "Feedback and Questions" section of the Newsletter.

To keep this newsletter going, I will need the help of all you guys with things like the Profiles, Questions, etc, etc.

Cheers

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Sorry to anyone who has been trying to access the newsletter the last day or so.

My hub had a loose connection and nothing was getting through to the server, or out from the server.

It should be fixed now.

[Saniqua45]

and i thought it was my pc again,thankx for the relief mate. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/!ban_dance01.gif

[Voodoo Nanny]

/webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/award.jpg hi greg just been reading your web site and found it very intresting keep up the good work /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/award.jpg /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/award.jpg

[Timetoplay]

Great website Greg, especially all the little tidbits on what's happening in Pokie Magic Land!! /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/award.jpg /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/award.jpg /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/15cool.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

I am hoping to release the last newsletter (before the big reset) tomorrow night.

There will not be another one for three or four weeks after that, to allow time for gathering of information and to try and put thumbscrews on Admin for some juicy news!!!

There may be a couple of shocks in this issue too......

[Saniqua45]

will be waiting anxiously greg. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hyper.gif

[Marg]

i am waiting also greg as pete keeps on annoying me /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

[Saniqua45]

and so i should. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/!ban_dance01.gif gotta annoy someone.

[Lady Bump]

/webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hairaiser.gif Shocks and Juicy News Greg /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/brow.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif Don't think this old heart will stand many more /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

[Timetoplay]

Looking forward to it Greg, especially the juicy gossip!! /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shh.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Dont know if there is any really juicy gossip in this one. I had a bit less time than normal to put it together...

ALSO....*grin*.....I am not getting a whole lot of assitance here *hint hint*

Please guys, I cant come up with everything myself.... Questions about anything Pokie Magic, Printable Rumours (please note I said "Printable"), stuff you want explained or clarified.....the more help I can get and the more input I get from forum members, the better the newsletter is going to be.

I will also want a sucke....I mean, person for the Profile in the next issue. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif I think you have seen by now that the questions are not nasty.

[Admin1]

Suggestions for game improvements are also welcome aren't they Greg. User suggestions often make the best improvements.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Oh goodness yes. Any number of improvements from forum users have been incorporated in the games.

Um....thinking of a few:
Timer (for the games with feature that need you to do something)
Autoplay
Variable length Timer (well, I was only out by a day)
Game enhancements (like Bankers Bullion having a 12000 stash)

Believe me, suggestions for game improvements are listened to and, if possible (and yeah, blame me for several that were NOT possible) incorporated!!!

[Lady Bump]

Greg isn't our P.M Intrepid Ace Reporter doing his Job for you /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif Seems he collects a lot of news stories /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shh.gif must be selling to the rivals /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Julie, I can honestly say I have had about the same amount of information provided to me by the wall in front of me than I have from the "intrepid reporter" in question. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

He must be working for a rival tabloid. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/furious.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/furious.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

The games really do have a reduced payout.
(You didnt know about that??? Go read the Breaking News in the latest newsletter just released *grin*)

I just compared the two versions of Bankers Bullion 6 SE. The pays are markedly lower in the new version.

i like the new one greg better

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Did you have a look at any of the pages, Marg??

The review for Crazy Fruit (the left hand button) should make a few people recoil from their monitors...*grin*

[Marg]

nice colors greg need sun glasses /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

[Marg]

i do like it, i was only joking about glasses greg

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

LOL. is what I thought when I first did it....either that or reduce the contrast on your monitor.

A suggestion from one of the readers (who is NOT a forum member, strangely enough) was to add some colour to the website.

On that page, I couldn't pick a colour that went with the splash screen.....so I got the lot...*grin*

[Marg]

you done a good job greg i like the colors

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Hopefully the majority will agree, Marg. I can but hope.

Actually, hopefully the majority will give enough of a damn to go and have a look and let me know.. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

there will be a slight delay in the next newsletter.
I have been a wee bit busy with six kids for the school holidays, I have had to do the review for Toga Tokens and get it on the net, and Admin and the Pokie Magic team have to provide some information and they have been somewhat busy...

Thanks to those people who have given me information for the Profiles....

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Does anyone (PLEASE???) have any Pokie Magic terminology they would like explained? A term, phrase, function, whatever.

I have this yawning gap in the Newsletter with nothing to put in it.

I thought about PMDS, but Chuck seems to have that pretty much defined. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

[Kitkat]

Greg have you explained about lawns and mowing?

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Yup, I did Katina. From memory, it is in the current newsletter (the one that will be archived on Wednesday)....

Look in "Other News and Rumours"

[Kitkat]

Sorry Greg, I should have checked before mentioning it.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

LOL

Dont apologise....I had to go and look myself. I knew I had, but couldnt remember where!!!!!

[Saniqua45]

just read it greg and was very impressed.nice colors and nice layout.

just one question /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headscratch.gif if we put mp3's into the games do they stay there when we update a game or do we have to reinstall them all the time.

keep up the good work mate. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

[Chuck]

The 'tip' about "Zooming in and out of the Graph" is nice to learn about. It's been frustrating up to now that after reset, the graph seemed compressed vertically without showing the relative magnitude of the features as well. This tip sure helped. Keep them coming-in fact it would be nice to have a little 'tip' corner that could have all the accumulated tips for PM gamers.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

I'm honestly not sure, Peter. Will find out and let you know....by experimentation if Admin is too busy to answer..

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Do you mean an ongoing page, that is just added to constantly, Chuck??
I can always set up a separate page and link it from the Newsletter, if that is what you are after.

I think Admin started one somewhere on the forum, but I think it got lost in the clutter...*grin*

[Chuck]

Yes, something like that. I had urged one on the forum some time ago and Admin, as I recall, did post some, but it requires a search to find it and there have been other tips since then scattered over the forums. So, it would be nice to have one repository that by a click would have the sum of all these useful hints/tips. Especially, as you have noted in your newsletter-with new players coming online, it would make the games more enjoyable - it did for me, knowing certain tips.

[Saniqua45]

the tip part is in support if ya interested.and thankx greg as it would help to know. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/15cool.gif

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Okay. Dont be surprised if it takes a little while. Like everybody else, I will have to hunt them down in my copious spare time.. /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif /webboard/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3rofl3.gif

but thanks for the idea, will do it when I can. I will make it a link somewhere in its own section of the newsletter and that will be there permanently once I get it up.

[Chuck]

This reminds me of a term that has been used that you might add to your newsletter.. "featurecide" , if you haven't already. In fact, for newbies, a page that could be a lookup 'dictionary' might be handy.

[Spyone1 (Greg)]

Okay, "featurecide" is a new one on me too....

Is that where you deliberately kill a feature off?? Or is it more that you kill yourself because you cannot get a feature?

Peter, the MP3 files are not overwritten by the installers, so as long as you use the same folders to install to they remain.

AS I recall, it is the reference to the ability to stop a feature by clicking on "WIN" in the upper part of the game.
Thus, the need for a single place to find these out.. like you need more work.

The term Featurecide was coined in January 2004:

Fea`ture-cide: noun - to terminate without prejudice the running of a game feature within a Pokie Magic game.

OH.. about 'featurecide', without a previous explanation.. it, to me, was slang to be similar to 'suicide'.

[Admin1]

Its not slang Chuck, its a custom build word, just for Pokie Magic players. Its doubtful too many people playing in casinos would be happy if it was possible to do on real machines. Could be fun to watch though.

Okay. I think I am going to have to do this with some help, like start a thread in the Lounge, make it sticky, and ask people to add hints/tips/terminology/words that they think should be included....along with the meaning.

At least something like that...
