The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Zoo Tycoon (all)

LOL! So do I. XD I would flood it first, then put all kinds of fences in the way and put in crocs. That way no one can get out. XD

Then I would set it up so that the entire zoo is one big exhibit, then I would buy so many animals and place them all over the place, then unpause the game (yeah I pause it first) and just watch the chaos unfold. XD

I actually have a vid online somewhere of me goofing around with Zoo Tycoon.

I played it for a while as the game (including both expansion packs) came as a bonus with a laptop my Dad bought. With the dinosaur expansion pack I build up a park named "The land before time" and I used to give the different cages names according to the species in the cages such as: "Littlefoot's lare", "Cera's cave", "Petrie's perch", "Ducky's Den", and "Spike's shelter" (yes, I like alliterations, even half ones ;)).
However, it never took me long to run down the park. I really suck at economic simulations and I hope that it does not predict the way I'm going to walk down in business life :unsure:

lol sounds like some of you love to torture and kill your customers :lol . As for me, i've never been fond of the games like Tycoon and Sim City for the same reason as Malte.

One of the things I like to do is build a cage, block the entrance, and put some whiny, hungry guests in there. The Human exhibit, like the one in London or somewhere like that.  :lol

Yep. Sometimes I even put water in there and watch them swim around. Hehe, God I'm sadistic with the little guests. :lol:

I'm sadistic with the park in general. XD Sometimes, I would either put animals in cages so small they can't even move around, or I would make larger pens and pack them up with so many animals they can't move around. Then I release them and watch the chaos unfold. And each time, in about a minute, or even less, I get a message saying I can't adopt anymore animals until I improve their living conditions. :p

I used to play Zoo Tycoon all the time. In fact the only one I really do like is the original. The new ones just aren't the same.

And I used to do alot of that stuff too like release the animals on the guests :lol Aahh good times

The greatest thing to do is either put, in the area with most guests:

1. A whole bunch of big cats.

2. Wolves

3. A T-Rex
