Re: New Icons to be Cycled
I wonder if we could have new icons on the list of icons that change at the top of the screen when you refresh and go to different links. One of those icons is the Female Soldier holding Laser Pistol from XCOM UFO Defense, which I've uploaded through filezilla a few years back and might ending up doing so again.

I made another account because when I log into my old account the theme makes everything blank. I think it's the pastel theme. I tried every browser I have and i get the same results when logging in.

Re: Third submission disappears after publishing two
If I have three submissions set as Recording on Submission Status Page, and then publish two of them, the third one disappears on its own. Can you fix this, please?

Hello guys!! I am back again with more suggestions for this amazing site!

Since I became a member for this wonderful site last year, maybe it need a little feature like a Welcome video trailer, giving a warm welcome for the visitors and new members. It's just a suggestion, that's all I asked.

Cheers!

I think that's an excellent idea! It could work as a kind of an ad for the channel, listing some features (as in, what is required of all the submitted longplays in terms of quality, settings and playstyles etc) to lure viewers who are not yet sure what the channel is about. There is a common misconception about the word "longplay" as some people use it just for something like a long twitch stream gaming session or a youtube video of their first time trying to play a game and they keep at it for a long time etc. I recently watched a "longplay" of a game called Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth and let me tell you, it was LOOONG and not in the good way; the guy just had absolutely no idea what the was doing and kept grinding through some parts 10-15 times in a row, running into dead ends or turning the wrong way somewhere and then having to backtrack and the like. I really think WoLP should advertise itself with an intro video as a more "professional" attempt at longplayage, at which it sovereignly succeeds when you compare it to 99% of what's already out there with the word "longplay" attached to it in the title. I guess if you go to the literal definition of the word, you can argue the case of it not being a professionally crafted viewing experience for a viewer wants to watch the game as a "movie" of sorts, but I think in spoken tongue the meaning has significantly shifted towards that.

This issue is addressed in the building trade by having work done in stages. You trust the builder with enough money to dig the foundations, and when the foundations are done they get money for the walls, then the roof, then decorating etc. Similarly, most games are divided into stages, one way or another. If I was playing Ocarina of Time, for instance, I might do the Child Link stages, ask for a third of the bounty, then the Forest/Fire/Water temples, ask for another third, then finally do the Shadow/Spirit temples and Ganons' castle. I could thus minimise the time I wasted on a non-payment, and if I gave up halfway through then another player could take my saves and videos and continue.

Since the biggest problem is likely people who offer but have no intention to pay, making the first installment a small one (eg a buck for the Deku Tree) would filter out most of the bad offers and since a non serious offer would never result in a full longplay, people would post less non-serious bounties in the first place.

Making the bounty a matter between private individuals would be a lot easier for the site, with less legal liability. Escrow schemes and the like are a can of worms not worth opening IMO.


I hear ya buddy - you had a lot of good points in there, but I would like to say that I disagree with one, or have a solution for a problem pointed out by you more the like. The donations would have to happen real time, or, if possible, like with Kickstarter or some other indie financing platform; you gather up info on how much willing donators there are and what the total sum of potential donations would be and then when the timer runs out, people will be charged in advance before the actual production on the longplay commences. Even though this eliminates the possibility of people not ending up paying for the bounty, it would, however, create a converse trust issue from the perspective of donators as they have no control over the money in case the longplayer decides to take the money and scram. So yeah, it's like of an impasse where the other person inevitably would have to take a big chance, unless we are speaking of very small donations like 1-5 euros / dollars per person.

Re: Bounty system
Simple. (In concept, not implementation...)

Allocate a number of moneys from teh YouTube each month and add to a pool. Give a number of "voting points" to active members of the community and let them use those points to "vote" for requests. The more votes there are for a request, the more money the LPer get when fulfilling the request, paid out from the pool.

Two points of major work; 1. define "active" in a good way to allow people to vote, but prevent abuse and 2. revamp the request-system to be controlled as a site module, not just posts in a forum thread.

There's probably also a problem with taxes and crap, of course, there always are.

A simpler way would be that the one who puts out the bounty puts the money in some kind of escrow when someone starts to work on it.
