The Dink Network

Have fun. I think it works with all countries and such, but I'm not sure.

Heh, I'm still living the life of a freewheeling vagabond... so, I can't really add myself yet.

Does this not work with Mozilla, or is it a Linux thing?

I'm liking it

Is it me, or is only the US showing on that map?

EDIT: Okay, nevermind. It's automatically zoomed on the US, but I managed to find a way to get outta there.

@Merlin: I use FireFox, and it works fine.

Cool, added

YAY, too bad I used my real name Instead of user, Redink could you change that?

lol, it doesn't overwrite your old entry when you add yourself again

Im not asking that, Im asking if he can change it, or deleate it so I can re add

I've got my knowledge face on.. *click*

I know, but that's what I noticed when trying that

&people_from_the_netherlands++;

void main(void)
{
loop:
If(&personfromNorthernireland == 1)
{
say("I seem to have fudgeed the map up...", 1);
Kill_map();
}
wait(100);
goto loop;
}

The second I put my name in, Kaboom. Well not kaboom.. more Boom... The map broke. Whoops.

Oh, good good, works again.

Go on kikki, a post with just a smiley lol, I will register there now.

It's not fair! I can zoom in fully in the US, but in the Netherlands it says they don't have a smaller map for that country!

Wtf? The Netherlands are like 200 times smaller than the US!

My picture is gangsta! YO!

SirCabbage, are you Kieron Stoff?

Ya

Try using satellite view. I'm sure Amsterdam has a pretty detailed map. Also Roosendaal (where I live) is highly detailed. Utrecht isn't though. Kinda odd, don't you think

tbh this owns the dink squad...

@Magicman: Yep, that worked. Pretty detailed.

@Striker: You look weird.

rofl @ that comment

Aww, redink1 looks so cute in his pic!

I accidentally created two versions of myself.

I am a spanner.

*insert obvious clone joke here*

I killed the clone.

Good, the last thing we need is a return of the Sabreclones.

I'm just like a Mogwai. But with smaller ears, and a bigger appetite. Most people don't think I'm as cute either.

It just keeps saying "invalid city" although I type it correctly to the city field. Oh well, I tried.

Maybe Google doesn't recognize your city, try one that's nearby.

is there a way to go back and change my comment and add a picture....

I think if you try to add another comment and picture with the same username, it will update your existing entry.

Redink, you look so young. Is that your real picture or are you like 30? just kidding...but seriosly, you look so young, like 18 or so...How old are you?

I am 22.

Well, it just seems to make an adendeum, so if you've said something you didn't want to say, your sol. Unless there's a limit of like 3 comments or something at which it starts rolling them over.

Thanks a lot Redink1 for this fun tool to find information on Dinkers. Actually if someone wanted to organize a meeting (Call it a convention for those of you with active imaginations.) One could easily be arranged in Ohio where five Dinkers are grouped around or in Finland, the Netherlands, and Britain.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

Kunkletown. Lol.

(I apologise in advance...)

Could be possible if you meet in a central town/city - but really, would you like to see the people who stick with an 8-year old RPG game? Cult

Indeed.

Well.. Google "should" know my city though, some other finns on that page are from smaller cities than I am. So dunno why it didn't accept it.

How about stickying this??

Yeah. I think that it would be a good idea to Sticky this. I had almost forgotten this one already

I'm pretty isolated from the rest of dinkers . Suddenly, it makes me sad.

Hey, if I accidentally mis-remembered the place I actually live in, can I somehow change it?
I sort of realised I moved to Jyväskylä three months ago, and, consequently, don't really live in Kuopio. Which is what it currently reads there.

Hmm, I dunno. Try creating a new one, and if the old one is still there, I can delete it.

Help! I posted two photos. It's embarassing! How to remove one? This should teach me not to do several things at the same time... Sorry...

I've deleted it. No problem

Delete mine too.It's ugly and I hate it!

Too bad

Thank you, redink1. Now my next move would be to add my country, and other notes. Still figuring it out though. I hope I won't make another "oops..".

And carrie2004, I think you're beautiful - even if that picture was badly shot. i've read several of your blogs and reviews, played your DMODs - you reflect an exceptional balance of intelligence, precociousness, and streetsmarts - the "must" ingredients of a creative genius... you can explain complex things to peasants like me and i can understand it. Thanks to you too. You're as lovely as the waterfall in my land. And oh, I have my own river in my orchard and herb farm - you have an open invitation to visit. Not being presumptuous, but this is just to tell you, you have a fan!

woah.

There is someone who don't enough in the real life!

It doesn't let me change the city.. or at least it says "Invalid town" when I try to write in Jyväskylä. Do you think you could delete that account so that I can just add myself anew?

edit: OK, frappr doesn't know the city I live in exists. Probably 'cause it has these oh-so-scary a with two dots.. Oh well, I guess I'll keep living in Kuopio

Oh, Glennglenn, you have excellent DMODs too! And it's really hard, no, VERY difficult to make DMODs when you know zero about programming. I read somewhere that carrie2004 started learning from scratch. And for me, that's such a herculean feat. And I'm basing my estimation on that - for carrie2004. And I go by instinct, and I like carrie2004's face. So there! We all have our preferences, and I like good plots.

And ohy!, I LOVE "Matoya" could you possibly expand it into an epic?

The only programming I'd ever done before Dink was a little bit of BASIC. Which is pretty basic, by comparison.

As far as I see, DinkC is pretty easy to pick up, so when it comes to programming, it's ideal for those with very little experience.

I find that very encouraging, SabreTrout. Thanks. One of these long holidays when I don't have to cook and pack lunches for the kids, I'll tinker on the DinkC. I played the 3 Knight's Tale DMODs and I find it good and very funny - aheemm, humuorous, I mean - since that little fella (your character seems to take himself seriously). Good characterization, in my humble opinion. I don't want to heap so much praise on the other DMOD masters, I'm sure they have plenty of that, and they know it!

Thanks. It is true though; you must be careful whose praises you sing on the DN. Some of the d-mod authors here are frightfully cocky...

I hope you find the time to learn DinkC and make some d-mods.

I don't agree with Diwata, my D-Mods are horrible and I'm too lazy to fix 'couse making D-Mods ain't so intersesting as it was before

Edit:

Are you a lesbian or something?

The fact that she has kids usually rules out the lesbian thing... of course the first people to assume others are homosexual are typically ones themselves (in or out of the closet)

The fact that she has kids usually rules out the lesbian thing...

Not necessarily, you can also adopt children

That's why I said "usually", there is also artificial insemenation.

The thing with girls/women is that they usually make comments about each other that us boys/men tend to think are 'lesbian'... probably because we wouldn't mind it being true ...There is also the bisexual possibility which is all good too

Nope, not a lesbian "lol" . Not bisexual either. And right, having kids do not require you to be hetero. I know lots of friends who are out of their closets who bear and raise good children. Just like in RPGs, you can never predict what the next screen has - potions or monsters.

And btw, the world needs more appreciative people...the more appreciation, the more DMODs. Yeheeey! Glennglenn, you are the author of Quest for Food, right? My son likes playing it. So don't stop...

And Dragon, you dream on...bisexual relationships could be one of the most romantically, physically (HIV-prone) traumatic experience...

"Sigh!" The irrevence of the young...

BASIC... Good old times they were :')

Hmm Maybe I shouldn't stop lol. I've tried to make D-Mods,b ut I ain't got with plots, mapping nor scripting so I guess I wont make any more D-Mod, but I will try though...

... you ain't good at writing English either. If you need a plot, ask me. I can do mapping if I'm not too lazy, I can probably do some scripting too... If I'm not too lazy.

I was just throwing out the possibility of the bi thing... don't exactly want my wife running off with some woman and/or bringing home something nasty I agree two to tango, three is just too many feet on the dance floor But I also don't want to offend anyone who is, so that's why I said it's all good. But I have to admit most men I know probably wouldn't mind it. But two dudes together, that just gives me a big no feeling. But I guess whatever people do is what they're gonna do and who are we to say it's wrong.

I actually know a few of them couples with kids that are out of the closet too... some of the best parents that I've seen.

... wait did you say young? I'm the BIG 3-0 here, so I guess I'll take that as a compliment

Oh you're young! Don't wait until you're 40 to try out things you've always wanted to do when you were 20. BUT KEEP IT SAFE! And be sure it won't harm you or anyone!
And another thing, just remember exchanging body fluids are always unhygenic, and yes, with all those nasty germs intruding into your system yuck! That will keep you on the straight and narrow.

So what i meant with doing things you've always wanted to do while u can is something like bungee jumping or climbing hundred-year-old trees without a harness, etc. I know i always wanted to do them and kept postponing until my knees started creaking, moreso swing myself up a coconut tree.

*Sigh* Just so you oldbies know, being bisexual does not make a person polyamorous, or vice versa.

Ah. The reason it never accepted my city was because I had to add "North Ostrobothnia (Finland)" after the city name. Silly pages. But well, at least it works now.

Thanks for all the nice words Diwata! I did start from scratch last year and I have to say that the biggest help came from other members of this community.Simon,Sabretrout and redink1 are just a few of the poor guys I hassled with questions and they were really nice about it and really helpful.
The main thing,which I keep having to remind myself, is to have fun.

Striker: "Just so you oldbies know, being bisexual does not make a person polyamorous, or vice versa."

Contradiction or a paradox?

I believe he's saying that just because you're bi doesn't necessarily guarantee that you will have sexual contact with a male and a female, or two people at all, in your happy hot love adventures.

Good thing about the internet, u can say nice words without being questioned about our motives, carrie2004. And in the same way, people/friends from Dinknetwork help out just because (period). I think that's cool.

Yeah, u learn more when you're having fun going about it. I think the lifeblood of DMODs are the Dinkers who want to learn more and share their ideas thru DMODs.

BTW, I look at the ratings by other reviewers but I play the DMODs anyway even if it's rated low. Again, one learns by forming one's own opinions, and testing its integrity with the opinions of others... dialectics of life...real life.

But what's the purpose of your existence as a "bisexual"?

in real life, how is this actualized/done? Seems contradictory... like, u cannot be ambidextrous, Tal, without using both your hands.

Tal is quite straight. Like an arrow. With the feathers, sure, but still straight.

Being straight as well, I would imagine that a non-polyamorous bisexual individual would be naturally attracted to males and females, but would only have one partner at a time. Like any straight person, encounters could be one-night-stands or part of long-term relationships. The only difference would be the other partner could be of any gender.

Exactly.

Straight, fabulous, bi or whatever else there is out there, I think that people complimenting others should be welcomed here. The sexual orientation of people should not be questioned if they say lots of good things about someone else (or their DMODs). It seems that Dinkers come from all walks of life, ages, religions, and countries for that matter, so we should all feel welcomed here on dinknet.

I agree with redink1 that bisexuals would typically only have one partner at a time. In otherwords they're human just like anyone else (in exception to maybe a few DMOD makers out there ).

Discussions on sexuality is always interesting for me (since where I come from, such topics where not so honestly and publicly discussed - not until the mid-80s). Some daring and brave souls gave their best efforts to further human rights including gender rights in the 60s. Well, we called them "flower children." I think that some of you know that, especially mature Dinkers from the West...where the flower movement was the strongest then. Simply put, it was based on a movement wherein the values of love, peace, harmony were encouraged and lived...and testing and even stretching societal limits. And boy, did they stretch them! (Note: I'm basing my views on several discussions with "chronologically older" friends who were into the movement then, and how they deal with others).

The invigorating spirit that moved the "flower child"...the sense of freedom of the mind, the irreverence for what is conventional...questioning everything, and stretching, expanding what can be seen in the horizon and beyond...but intellectually aware of the structures... ran out of words, heh!

Oh well, what I'm mean is that it is so much like the RPG authors' spirit - thinking out of the box and creating new boxes.

It can be a good basis for a DMOD plot "flower children" lost in Dink's medieval world.

Sorry for rambling, but I'm a crazy, bawdy, old woman. Glennglenn's very irreverent but honest question was fun! I wonder what was edited out in that part...

And oh, no one's questioning Tal's sexuality. Just asking out loud, philosophically... Makes for an interesting discussion on life... which is good for making characters in a DMOD. *Sigh* wish i had the adeptness and the luxury of time to make one right away, so I don't have to keep on being a "hanger-on" and always lurking on the Off-Topic section of the Board.

Oh, so now the polyamorous aren't human? I see...

Yeah, I know I'm putting words in your mouth...

A lot of people are Bi now days, my entire Neopets Guild is Basically made up of Female Bi's

Eh, that's a little bit of a murky area... a lot of females like to say they're bi (and even act it) in order to get the attention of guys. It can be pretty obnoxious, since they rarely seem to ever want to really, really prove it to you.

Yeah, sometimes girls will even kiss each other for entertainment, but don't expect to catch them fudgeing each other.

Tut tut... 'obnoxious'...'kissing for entertainment'... I think by pretending to swing the other way many girls are trying to avoid your affections, rather than attract them! I think some females are misbranded 'bi' or 'pretending to be bi' cause they're either a) drunk and stupid or b) slightly more affectionate than their male counterparts... and just for interest's sake, I've known a couple of guys who pretended to be bi just for a laugh... With regards to previous posts on this thread, redink, you really do look young, diwata, you seem to be an exceptionally sweet person, and carrie, the little beaver still pops into my head when I read your posts, not the rather-dubiously-shot photo...
Ice.

Oh... and regarding the actual point of this thread... my photo... though showing up under 'group photos'... isn't part of my profile... how do I change it?
EDIT: as in, how do I make sure it shows up in both?

There's a sharp difference between a woman saying she's fabulous to avoid the unwanted advances of a guy, and making out with another girl in full view of him, m'dear.

Is there... dearie? oops, I mean, Striker? And yes I agree, there certainly is... but some girls will go to any lengths... and then there's another category of female who's comfortable enough with her sexuality to kiss another chick out of curiosity... or for amusement.... (all hypothetical of course )

EDIT: And of course, she may not care whether her audience is male or otherwise...

That's fine, but experience has shown me that's often not the case.

RESPONSE TO EDIT: Yup, some just love attention... male or otherwise.

Well then I'm sorry Striker, clearly your experience, though perhaps not limited, has not been as extrordinary as it could have been...

What makes you think it hasn't? I did say "often not the case", didn't I?

Point taken, my apologies, clearly being far too presumptuous... or perhaps just giving you the benefit of the doubt?

Im cunfuzzled? What is this topic about? And what's up with the ULTIMATE EDITION thing? I'm new so is this like a tradition or something?

Just click on the original link. Its a map of where some of the dinkers live... all over the globe you know?

Once in a few months, someone is bound to ask "Where do Dinkers come from?", which usually got responses like "Netherlands... haven't we had this kind of topic before?".

Now, this won't be needed, as you can see where members are from on the frappr page.

Is there any way for me to edit my info I posted on this website? I'd like to add a picture of me and stuff.

oh oh i know where we come from
when i mummy and a daddy love each other very much they decide that..
umm just wait im not going that far but you get my drift
any way after that the mummy plays lots of dink and her baby hears.
Then nine months later Pop out comes a dinker
LOL
that is the craziest thing i have come up with...so far
ROFLOL.

roflmao tal

what the hell didnt lady carrot like leave this place she did a huge stunt where she dissed everyone and said she was leaving what is this?!?!

You need to lay off the hooch.

This is lame... VonZeppelin Comes from an undisclosed location, and therefore you need not pinpoint his locale on a map... If the site is so globally connected, why is it only in English. I don't know why I have to keep repeat this... DONT YOU THINK THAT SOME DINKERS MIGHT PREFER TO VIEW THE SITE IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE????? That is all... Just to make everything clear...I only speak English, so I cannot authorize the usefulness of this procedure... only understand it...

If the site is so globally connected, why is it only in English.

Because English is the language most people understand, smarto. Go talk in your native language and most would not understand you here, while everyone would understand you when you type in English.

Also, over the history of this site, I could probably count the number of people who could not speak English on one hand. A forum dedicated to them would be an inactive forum.

True, true... okay point enough... so ill stop trying to force interlangual communications on you guys..... but. one thing Go talk in your native language and most would not understand you here, while everyone would understand you when you type in English. Well, guess what? SURPRISE! English is my native tongue, although I think I have already stated that... Even though I speak English doesn't mean that I cannot live in an undisclosed location...

We need an image of Seth for Japan...

Some langueges are very differents from others, (if i post something in poruguese no one will understand

i'm not added!!

So add yourself.

I had a change of heart and added myself...

What to u guys mean by posting picures. I dont have any, but im half mexican with cool black, geled and fliped up in the frony hare. Im tall+ i love football, go bears!! How old r u LadyValoveer

I'm 20 now.

i've aded me too(look somewehre in holland )

I am from germany

Why bother saying here if there's that Frappr thing?

I found the map, but didn't want to pfutz around getting joined and all that stuff.

I am a Dinker in Mexico, from Illinois originally.

It might interest you to know that there are now Dinkers among the indigenous Mexican Huichol. Dink has reached the kid population of these reclusive people, and they LOVE it, even though they don't understand a word.

Can somebody please do a Spanish translation of the original Dink, and maybe some of the best DMODs (eliminating any really raunchy language, for the kids' sake)? I don't know how, and am not fluent enough to do it properly.

Who knows? One day we may have Dinkers from Darfur, Sudan! If the genocide ever stops, that is. Wouldn't it be grand, though, when it happened? Darfur is one REALLY remote place. So let's Dink'em when we get a chance!

Holly B.

Hey Redink1- delete my Place marker. I have forgotten the password and can't change anything.
I will create a new one soon after.

@Joshriot
Can we have this frapper thing as an alternative to Dink Squad. It will save you a lot of time and trouble?

Probably not, one can only post ONE picture of his/herself.

what if it can make accurately in this site beyond if registering and seeing dinkers?

I added myself last night. I would've posted then, but I had to go to bed. I'll take a photo of myself and upload it later this afternoon.

Woh thats pretty cool

kool

Still the Netherlands, don't believe posted that here... maps.google really shows the Netherlands perfectly... Try hitting Enschede

Added myself just now

I am from Singapore, actually I started played Dink smallwood about half a year ago!

in from the netherlands as well

I guess using flag icons makes this forum useless.

Not quite, some of us live in pretty large countries, so listing a city really makes a difference. Plus, the link shows them all on a map.

And don't forget that you'll be able to see our lovely ugly faces!

Yeah, but you can do that at Dink Squad, too.

Yeah, I guess so. I totally forgot about that site!

Man, josh should kick you square in the nuts for that... and I'm pretty sure he would, too.

Hi Everybody.Im just started learning about creating D-mods.I reading the tutorial.Its not easy.

I come from Shanghai,several days ago I just repaly the game and beat the boss.with the help of hints I get all of the money and poison in an island

perhaps I cant express myself very well,but I really love this game.

Who Doesn't Like dink Smallwood!?!?!

I moved last year, so now my name is "on the map" w00t!!

Okay, I've been trying to load the Frappr link for half an hour for the third time this week now and it's doing nothing. Broken after all this time has it?

Ex-Deathevn; Christchurch, New Zealand.

Works for me. Though I seem to have disappeared from it...? Could've sworn I added myself. Oh well.

Edit: Just joined again but I disappear when the page is refreshed! What the?

Two years old has caused a glitch maybe?

And I think I know why it won't load for me, I tried it on my other comp. I'll add myself from a mate's place with better internet assuming your problem doesn't happen to me Sparrowhawk.

Wow! This is pretty neat!

I come from China.

Tell us something new perhaps?

Fine, your mom comes from China. Seriously, leave the kid alone Schnappleman.

Oh please? <In tone of the "knights who say 'Ni!' off MP's The Quest for the Holy Grale>

actually buddy, my great grandma was Chinese, so....

...That makes me your great grandfather then

Okay, let me put it this way: don't be an asstard to raw newbies over something minor, asstard.

woah there buds! who the bloody hell are callin asstard? 'coz if you wanna fcuk around then FYI. I ain't shoottin buddy, my great grand mother was a chinese immigrant to australia - she met my dutch/pommy great grandpa on da Bendigo Goldfields. Now i happen to know that it was bloody tough goin' for those chings. yeah, i bag 'em, but i got there blood, ok?
Other then that, have we on this forum got so tight-assed that we can't even joke around no more? y'know you need to get youre fcuckin facts before you go around dissin TDN disciples as asstards. you haven't saved china from the communists. you haven't saved our souls from hell. you haven't made the world a better place, so WTF, i ask you?

ED.Heh - I kinda' was an asstard, I guess...

lol, go back to China, asstard.
