Union Suggestions

This topic is for any ideas on how we can make this a better union. Feel free to share anything you think of, and we will discuss it here.

Now, for the first order of business, I feel we should begin marking all the topics with story related discussion for any Spyro game with a spoiler warning. I began doing so last night, but I stopped. It didn't seem right, unless I had the approval of everyone else.

So what does everyone think? Personally, I did have a couple of things spoiled for me for the Legend of Spyro games, but it's not a big deal. I'm merely taking precautions for those who haven't played all the games, or for any newcomers to the series.

Here's the warning I was thinking of: *SPOILERS*

The reason for making this topic was sparked by a certain decision me and two others came to concerning something else related to this union. It will be revealed in time, and so will the details of what we decided upon.

If you feel this is unnecessary sputnick or anyone else, then feel free to delete this topic.

But about the spoilers thing, I think it would be okay, but like I said in another topic, I think it would be too broad of a thing to control. There are spoilers being released in almost every topic. Controlling it to show others that it is a spoiler before seeing it would be hard to do collectively, but I think it would be possible.
I'll support it. 8)

It's already been posted. It was about the Ultimate Spyro Site.

Basically, we decided to stop working on it, because of time issues and the burden of managing both the USU and the USS. Running a site is not that easy of a job...

Anyway, Joe posted more details in the USS topic.

Hmmm, okay Brandon. You got it! We won't let this topic die!!! :lol:
I just postd on it....
This is what I said:

That's right everyone!
Joe here, one of the main guys of the Ultimate Spyro Union along with bdog and others.
The USU is the most comprehensive Spyro union on gamespot.
Come one, come all! Everyone is welcomed.
You can find everything here for your viewing pleasure.....all in one spot! SOADjoe19

Sound good?

I know it's for the sake of the union, but I hate posting on GameSpot outside of the unions...

Well, wherever it is, Brandon, I'll stand behind you with it! ;)

I sorta feel like... this union needs to upgrade that picture of Spyro at the top... thats like... the Playstation 1 Spyro lol, how about something from DotD, let evolution take its corse lol XDDakuu

WHAT?!

I spent a lot of time making that one. And just as Joe said, we had a poll to decide which one would be the one we would use from now on. So I think we can keep it, and so do some others here...

Just joking! :lol:

The funny thing is, I was thinking about making another banner, because that one is a little too colorful for me now. And, it would be a great way to celebrate the release of Dawn of the Dragon. I'm planning on using some pictures I found online from DotD, or maybe I can find some good ones in the strategy guide. :D

In other words, I agree Ivan. ;)

The old series DID start it all, and if it wasn't for the old series, we probably wouldn't know about Spyro.

It's ok though, we could change it if you guys want.

Hmmm let me think on this.

We can keep the one that is on now since the union mainly evolves around Spyro in general. But with the release of DoTD we might want to cosider changing it since 1. We would probally have more DoTD images to choose from giving us many combinations to work with for a stunning banner and 2. We probally want to consider making a banner following Spyro's evolution.

If we're going to change the banner, I have an idea to include the newer, and older Spyro. We should do something like the one we have now, but put the new spyro on one side, and the old Spyro on one side.bd0g5

After reading the rest of the posts, I have to agree. That would be the best way to honor both the new and old games.

In fact, I already have the images I'm going to use this time. Maybe the next banner I make will look a little better, since I have been practicing more and learned a lot of new things about Photoshop since then.

I see nothing wrong with the one we currently have. We really don't need LOS Spyro plastered everywhere.Iceferno

Hmm, perhaps if it does come to some Origina/LOS arguements, we could compromise with a design similar to the Streets Of Rage 2 banner? Like this...

You could have the original characters (and/or enemies) on the left, and the LOS ones on the right. :)

I already have it covered. That was what I had in mind for the banner.

Wow, the pressure's on me for making these tags and the banner, but I can handle it. The inspiration from playing Dawn of the Dragon is enough to keep me going. :)

Anyway, should we still have this topic as a sticky now that DotD has been out? (No offense to Joe or anyone else.)

We might need room for some future ones I have in mind...

I guess we could un sticky it now. It was great before DotD was out, but now most people own dotD.

This is my 1000th post!:D

Well, you know what? I'm going to let you guys take care of that. Since I only have a PS2, and am not familiar with the achievement system of the 360 at all, you guys will be better at setting it up.

I'll just make the emblems. :lol:SOADjoe19

There are only really 2 things you need to know about Xbox 360's Achievement system.

Arcade games = 12 Achievements & 200 Points (Though Puzzle Quest has 15 achievements and 250 points)
Disc games =  40-50 Achievements & 1000-1250 (I don't think it's gone higher)

Well, that really doesn't help me that much, Alec, but thanks anyway. ;)
Like I said, I'll let you guys (who have 360s) to take care of the points system if we even really need one. I want to let everyone be apart of this....it's gonna be big. ;)

Hmmmm, ummm, did you mean this one, Alec? I posted it already on the emblem sticky topic.
