Unfortunately not, he wasn't very active in any of the MK11 threads or discord servers and none of us really know who he is.

Ah. Well, I suppose the fair thing to do here would be for someone to claim the OT on a somewhat tentative basis. That is, it's theirs unless someone happens to get in touch with Egg and he has a thread prepared.

Edit: Never mind, he's back.

TheMoon The user who was making the Mortal Kombat 11 OT is banned because of that Avengers thread and doesn't appear to be back in time for the game's release. Is it OK for someone else to take over that OT or is there something else going on with that?
egg have your thread posting privileges been restricted in any way?

No I'm here lol and my thread posting privileges are fine, I could request to be unbanned at any time so no worries. Im still doing the MK 11 OT!

Oh nice! Sorry for the confusion but I'd heard you'd been banned so I assumed there was no one left to do the OT, glad to hear everything's fine.

Please inform me you have a voluntary ban going around the time you have an OT coming up to avoid stuff like this.

April to November is not six months. Please see OP for details.



Oh yeah, forgot the 6 months thing. My bad! Also I didn't know I was banned until it had already happened, it was done at random lol but I could request to be unbanned at any point and planned to do so before the OT had to be posted which is why I wasn't worried about letting anyone know. In the event that it happens again I'll try to contact you before hand. :)

It's not so much about the OT itself but more about this situation where other users then don't know and worry for no reason. You know what I mean?

Cause oddly enough it happened quite often that someone got themselves banned while signed up for a high profile OT in the last few months lol.

Was anyone even going to bother with a World War Z OT? I'll take it and have it up within a matter of hours (game launches at 7:00 pm CST tomorrow so it'll be up within 24 hours of the launch window) if not.

I'm going to make a Pagan Online OT since there isn't one and the game is out in Early Access and it seems no one has claimed it.

Plan was to post it when i get home tomorrow morning. Plus its only Sunday, OTs are supposed to go up day before relase I thought?

from OP/official site FAQ:
OTs for games should not go up more than 72 hours before launch.
you should probably re-read the whole OP at some point.

FFXII is getting released today in JP and it apparently has EN included, are you still planning for an April 30 OT ?

I know we got that 6-month rule in place, but can I just go ahead and plant a claim for that Star Wars Episode IX OT anyway? I mean, it's practically in there at this point.

I just bought a gaming desktop PC last month and I will either upgrade it or build a new one from the ground up after the next gen consoles are out.

I was hoping someone could help me out with what is considered the most optimal way to pull high quality design assets off official websites, to be used in OTs. I typically view page source and find exactly what I need, but sometimes, it's just not there.

Here is an example of what I mean. I'd like to grab that large, high quality render of the character holding his sword, but I'm not sure how. Any help is appreciated, I'm not too savvy with this sort of thing.

Do you use Firefox (I rarely use Chrome so I don't know how it works there)? "Inspect Element" (right mouse, two below "view page source") is your friend. If you mouse over the HTML code, the corresponding elements will be highilighted and you can then click on the arrow to open the section(s) and go deeper until you find the URL you're looking for. It's always in there somewhere.

Hey, I don't think anyone has volunteered to do an OT2 for Sea of Thieves - the update launches today, am I allowed to throw one up?

I intend to create the E3 2019 | General Information and FAQ thread. Feel free to send requests and ideas on what to include. Layout may be a bit different from earlier but the basic things such as press conference schedule etc. will of course be featured. And also, the annual Spotify playlist is shaping up nicely.

just throwing this out there informally for now, but Eitr got a Summer 2019 window of release. I'm a bit doubtful it'll actually make it but went ahead and started working on the OT anyway just in case. If anything more concrete gets announced, I'll formally make the claim. Cheers. And of course if anyone wants to contribute let me know ^.^

F12 opens developer console. Inside there's inspect element options and such like you are using. It's great. One of the first things you do in web dev when you learn you can adjust elements on the fly is rewrite pages in stupid ways lol.
