The Hidden Blade Assassin's Creed in Depth

I think the frequent users (which are what, 15-20?) should have the opportunity to be apart of a THB "staff".

I've never looked at the 'About' section, but.. now I know stabguy's name is... hmmpf... RICK LAMONT!?

stabby, you've always been paranoid about you'r identity. did you just make up a name?

No, that's my real name. I decided to "go public" when we launched The Hidden Blade. Who are you calling paranoid? (@.@)

As far as putting other biographies on the "About" page, I want to avoid a situation where we either have 200 people listed or else some members feel slighted for not being included. How about a "featured member of the month" or something?

I'm all for that!

Well it's the start of the month today, so you could pick July's member right now. Oh hey have you guys seen that new FAQ about glyphs I just wrote

Member of the month sounds like a great idea. Personally, I thought that Glyphs article was pretty mediocre

Not as mediocre as England's performance against Germany

so we finally know stabbys name.

"are you thinking what i'm thinking, B1?
i think i am, B2.
it's Google time"

so, lets see here. pornstar, eh? i always had a feeling i knew you're face from somewhere. thankfully just the face.

the internet is great. i even got a hold of santas file on you.
i can tell you if you'r on the naughty or the nice list. here goes.

oh. ooh that's bad. and you put that there? that doesn't belong there.
why did you do that thing, to that person?
oh, my goodness! 27 times?!! feeling dizzy

Ian's article is a little lacking. Can we come up with some facts for it?

Some say that he killed Robert under Solomon's Temple, and that he personally befriended Kristen Bell.
Some say he runs a hostel in Monteriggioni, and that his hidden blade is shaped like a fleur-de-lys.
Some say that his life story is canonical, and that you can see him on the face of an NPC.
All we know is he's called IanXO4.

Ouch that hurt Deserved it I suppose. Liking the article really

oh, come on.
although that joke was not my best work, it alteast deserves a comment, right?

stabby, say something

He has gone on the run, currently burning all records and starting a new life in Bolivia, because of your joke

I liked it. Perhaps stab was worried that you'd actually found out the truth about him...

My stage name is Mandingo for obvious reasons.

Well I like the member of the month idea ,Stabguy. I think that every month at the end of the month we should all vote on someone (based on videos they uploaded that month), and there will be a post on the front page about them (probably what they say about themselves and their history of playing ac1 and 2). That post will disappear when someone else gets voted the next month. Does anyone agree with this? Someone reply please, even if it's just to joke (there have been more jokes than actual serious gaming discussions lately, especially on this post). And by the way, I'll try to upload an ac1 or 2 video on youtube every week.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I think it'll be good for members of the site to get to know the more frequent users and those who add lots to the site. It will also enable them to find a few decent videos from those users that could be helpful. I'm all for it.

^ No jokes here ^

Great idea! It could encourage new people to write about their experiences on AC. What do you think Stab?

Does it have to just be about users who upload videos?

No. There are many interesting and valuable members of the community who don't make videos. Let me talk to Ian and see if we can work out a good format.

Sounds great, Stab! I, and many other users, try to give just as much to the site as the ones with vidoes.

Sorry for saying just people with videos. I forgot all about other ways (like writing walkthroughs, posting art, the screenshots for feathers and glyphs just to name a few). I'm just trying to get people motivated into making great videos.

I think some nice motivation would be if a THB gold membership included Stab sending us free capture cards

Amen to that!

Maybe we can each send in like $10-20 to Stab so more of us can participate? No refunds if we break it though, unless it's broken on the way after being shipped to us. I'd be willing to do it!

capture cards? who needs them? THB has plenty of great videos shot with a plain ol' video camera. I've even seen some vids shot with a cell phone!

and in case anyone forgot - my first 46 AC videos were recorded by camera.

i guess what im trying to say is that the lack of a capture card shouldnt stand in anybodys way of making videos.

Ian and I still don't use capture cards. Our "high quality" videos are shot with DVD recorders.

I think the once a month vote is a good idea. Now that
I have more ideas for videos not to mention the one i posted
was only my first one.

In NZ capture cards are real cheap, also inspired me to make vids for my other games. I like this idea as well

How about the veterans get featured first, eh?

Speaking of which, is there a way to find out post counts of users?

I'd like this as well, the old forum was quite useful like that, showing which topics youve posted in most, the percentage of posts you make a day and of course your post count..
