The Dink Network

Something about me...
Well, I was born June 2 1987 which makes me 22 years old at the time of this writing. I first started playing Dink around 2002 and joined the forums in may 2005. Since December 2008 I've been doing the polls here on the Dinknetwork, so if you think a poll is stupid, funny or plain pointless it's probably my fault.

I also released some DMODs here. The first two called Dink learns music and Quest for the gems aren't really that great, but I also released The scourger, a DMOD that I still consider to be my opus magnum.
Progress on new DMODs is going very very slowly though. I still have a DMOD in production called "Terminal Tranquility 1, Paninga". But as mentioned before progress is really slow, so don't count on it being released any time soon.

I've made a development file called "An introduction to DMOD making" which seems to be very popular, be sure to check it out if you're interested in making DMODs yourself!

If you wish to contact me you can do so by posting a private message on the forum, or by emailing to: metatarasal (at) hotmail (dot) com

If you want to read more about me, check out the interview I gave for Dinkerview.

Private Message

Now, I know that it's technically August already and that I'm technically not Christiaan either but that won't stop Q2's 'Recent Release Rumble'! And so I present to you: The Recent Release Rumble 2010 Q2!

15 files, including the non-combat contest ones, have been released in the past quarter and now it's time to vote for your favorite DMOD and non-DMOD file.

See the comments to read more.

The basic rules of the RRR are as follows:

1) You can vote for one D-Mod and for one Non D-Mod file. You cannot vote for two D-Mods or two Non D-Mod files.
2) Voting is done by posting a reaction in this topic with your choice.
3) You can not change your vote. So make sure you think before voting!
4) Only "well known" members are allowed to vote. This means that no ghosts or really new accounts can vote. This is done to prevent people from voting with alternate accounts.
5) Discussion about the files is encouraged. But please, no spamming or attacking other members!
6) The two D-Mods and two Non D-Mod files with the highest amount of votes of each RRR will participate in the Download of the Year Awards for their respective category next year.

So what are you waiting for? Cast your vote! Voting ends next Tuesday.
