LOVING HUGS TO THOSE WHO TAG ON THE CITY WALLS
These are some of the graffiti tags which have appeared in my neighbourhood lately. I explain underneath each picture how it is of interest in connection with the general harassment campaign that I have described on this page.
Document started November 5th. 2008.
1: This tag has been there for a long time. It was one of the first that I noticed. It is at the entranct to the school [H1] next to the appartment block where I live; where I have to pass through (unless I want to take a long detour) to get anywhere. I mostly included it because of the phrase "remember-" by which it asociate to picture 2
2: This, as all the tags in pictures 2-6, arrived around the same time as the tag in picture 1.
3: The letter "b" has been reoccuring since the harassment began. Apparently has to do with the fact that I once had a yahoo group together with a friend who at that time used the profile name "b". Apparently someone saw something wrong with that, because she too has been subject to harassment since then.
4: This sticker appeared around the same time. That was also around the same time as the so called "B's homepage" showed up.
5: This is a bysicle shed across the street from the café where I sometimes like to sit and gat a cup of coffee. The text is on the inside of the shed.
6:
7: This is on the oposite wall of the same shed. I'm not really sure wether that placement is supposed to make me feel like the eye is staring at me or what. Anyways I added the word "eddikesyre" (="vinegar acid") mirrored across it.
8: Not too long after I wrote the "cows agreement" (in response to the Harry Potter figures) this tag started showing up. a lot of places. ("Ko" means a "cow" in danish). I suppose this photo; with its rather asociative reference to the fertilization of an egg-cell ("nucleus" = 'cell core'), is what was referred to as my so called "nuclear research" (see also the Superstitions index) in the latest mail I got, just one day after I published this collection of tags; apparently in the atempt to make my mail account a subject to scrutiny by whatever agencies etc. may be responsible for such things. Well; if somebody didn't want me to publish these tags they could've just abstained from making them in the first place!
9:
10: The "OKME" tag again. Here the middle one of three tags which appeared in a lot of places at that time. The tag underneath it is (half of) a name which might ring a bell to some people, and which tag also appeared all over Bagsværd in the same period.
And here's an image of an Unidentified Flying Grape
11: This graffiti is under a highway bridge not too far away from where I live.
12: Same as picture 11.
13: Hmm.. Well, apart from the fact that of course anybody must die... eventually.. I think this piece of nastyness speaks for itself. Same highway bridge, next to the eye tag.
14: Under the same highway bridge is the eye graffiti again. (And again I added the word "eddikesyre" mirrored across it).
15: This graffiti appeared in the school yard [M17] of the same school as mentioned under picture 1. Originally the text said: "Comming back with more color" - However, the letters "MM" (in danish "mm." is an abbreviation for "with more" - ie. it means roughly the same as "etc." - May be referring, though, to another yahoo group asociated with the situation in which the harassment initially began) of the word "kommer", appear a bit isolated within the word. If read as such it states: "cow MM is back [with more] color. - I added the "R" after "tilbage" and the "T" after "farve", so it becomes in stead: "Cow MM is at the baker MM coloured). - See also picture 25.
16: Around the same time this penis spraypainted on the ground was one of the first in a new line of graffitis appearing on the ground not too long ago. I believe the meaning of it is in that it points at the closed down store (see picture 17). - Note that this tag; unlike those in pictures 26-28 is NOT painted on the sidewalk, so that people don't walk on it. - One might also interpret it in connection with the three other graffitis which appeared around the same time; on the ground in the school yard and by the school entrance (about a kilometer from this graffiti, in the general direction it's pointing); stating "Land here", "here", and "and here". Such interpretation would again presume it's intended function to be something akin to voodoo magic (see also images 24, 30, and 35). I'll leave it to your own common sence to figure out what it was that in that case was supposedly intended to "land" there.
17: The sign on the window of that shop says: "Shop declined" (odd way of expressing it, but that's what it says)... Perhaps to sugest that to "decline" (as had been a reoccuring theme on the old website) would be the same as doing BOLT what AVE seem to suggest CUTTER ... Thus apparently a rediculous atempt to influence my freedom of choice by use of sexual intimidation. Well, the fact is of course that you can paint penises pretty much anywhere to attribute that asociation to pretty much anything. So I can't really take that seriously, and it won't stop me from declining whatever I feel like declining!
18: The following five pictures are from the neighbouring city, Lyngby, where I also come relatively regularly. This tag use again the "MM" combined with the "B".
19: This is right next to the tag of picture 17. The question mark is identical; indicating that those two tags were propably made by the samme tagger.
20: This tag, not far from it, appear again; like the one in picture 10 and 11 to say "RASS". It is right next to the tag in picture 22.
21: "STABR" might of course be interpreted as an acusation of stabbing. (Of which I am undoubtedly guilty as charged, in as much as I've said who did what to me that I know of). Or, in a different reading it could be an encouragement to "STAB R" - Whomeever "R" might refer to.. Hmmm...
22: Different place; same tag. - The words above this tag, which have been crossed out, were my addition: "LOVING HUGS TO THOSE WHO TAG ON THE CITY WALLS". Apparently someone did not like that.
23: The "STABR" tag also appeared close to where I live. I added "ASMUS" to the "R" and drafted a dripping knife by it so as to make it more clear to the public what kind of meanings it actually is these tags - or at least some of them - carry.
24: Lately this tag appeared in the same school yard [L16]; across the yard from the tag in picture 15. Originally the figure above the beam had only very long arms, so that the impression was that that was the upper body of the total figure while the lower body (ie. the genital region! - I did mention this was in a schoolyard, right?) constituted the figure below the beam (which, in itself made up a full figure with arms and legs). Thus I suppose one has to think in terms akin to voodoo magic to understand the rationale of this tag (see also images 16, 30, and 35). -Anyways; I added the 'missing' legs, plus hands and feet, so as to change the total image into just being an image of two distinct, complete matchstick men in stead.
(March 2010: Considering the name of that school I kind of wonder if the new "housing arrangement" that someone recently applied to the second floor of the staircase where I live, is a deliberate bad-taste humour comment on this (see also picture nr.10 + the "upstairs" formula in the superstitions index - and btw. no; that does NOT live "on top" of me, as she expressed it when she presented herself), on part of whome ever decided to place that particular person in that particular appartment (or the name could hypothetically be constructed, of course, though I doubt that) - or wether it's just another example of one of those paranormal correlations that aren't supposed to happen so frequently. - Personally I favour the latter hypothesis.)
25: [M17] Latest thing (as of feb.10th 2009) is the "skiz" tag. Apparently the tagger or taggers have decided to start poking at my 'good-old' diagnosis now. -As some may remember, if they read my old site before I took it down, I wrote a couple of apparently particularly unwelcome articles on that topic. (And if anybody want me to write anymore on that or any other topic in particular they can ask me nicely and pay me real money for it, or else they can go fuck themselves for all I care.).. 'Same schoolyard; right next to my home. (I added to it to state "Rasmus is fucking skiz geno error" to clarify the intent, same way as in img. 26. I expected that the graffitis would have to be cleaned off the wall then, but nothing happened, so after awhile I painted a flag over it (people put flags in dog-turds too) to cover it.
Notice the handprint over the text shown in image 15, btw: Althought it's a child's handprint I'm pretty certain that whatever kid whose handprint that is could not have reached all the way to the top of that wall to make the big white graffiti that it appeared with. (Besides the fact that it doesn't look like a kid's writing). Whomeever made that graffiti either made some kid make that handprint for them, or they made that handprint using some kind of cast.
26: The "skiz" tag again; here it's at the local train station. It's been appearing alot of places around Bagsværd in the last couple of days.
27: Originally an appendix to img.16 (see also comment to the last of the three images in the next section, below these images): Yesterday (as of May 5th 2010) someone had tossed a bag of seeds in the driveway to the school [H3], and the same evening there were some fireworks nearby. I didn't think much of it then, but other hints had been pointing in the general direction of the concepts of ovulation (on that day the driveway was decorated with flags all the way down along the sides* - though at the time I just figured someone was celebrating something), and of impregnation, and (added on May 26th. I'm not sure if this was the same day. Could have been a day or two earlier) someone had left an unopened can of beer by the building where I live (attempting to get the guards drunk?), so putting two and two together I went tonight and did a symbolic 'abortion' of the 'spawn' of the presumed symbolic rape; with a scraper in the driveway where the seeds had been [H3], and the 'scraped out' egg (white and yolk, with a sprout in it), tossed outside the driveway, on the sidewalk [H1], plus a bottle of "inside" disinfectant emptied into the parking lot by the school entrance at the other end of the driveway [H6].
*At the same time the local gas tank had some yellow flags outside. Someone had put three (see also comment to img.35) of the yellow flags in the dog toilet. (Given the context; possibly a reference to Erwin's little "Rådhuspladsen" story (mentioned by img.28); that ended with someone had their head put in the toilet?)
May 25th 2010: Today, after the car tire / toy pig object arrangement (img.36-38) I made a graffiti on each side of the entrance to the driveway (at some distance to each side so as to not give unfortunate mental images to people passing), saying "bolt" and "cutter". That may make the person consider it an extra time before next time he get the idea of performing a symbolic rape and impregnation of the school by conceiving of its driveway in terms of a ... to stick his ... into.
28: The words "PARANOIA PUSHER!" and "MIND RAPE!", are of course my comment, over the original statement of this graffiti; that "they watch you". -This new eye tag has been showing up around the neighbourhood lately. The color and running legs are presumably meant to asociate to the "run run run" slogan (possibly referring to the 'two-teams-running against-each-other' theme, which originated from Erwin's website in context with the same situation described on the index page. - Another one of these green eye graffitis state "Toc run the watch" - "the watch" possibly also referring to ADC? - is on a local power distribution high voltage cabinet. Coincidence?..) of a particular profile that showed up on the LB forum; proclaiming his liking of the PDF file format (Adobe reader documents; but the insinuation should be reasonably obvious - an increasingly popular weapon of intimidation on the internet these days), and using an animated gif of a green guy on an exercise conveyer belt; presumably asociating to the running wheel feature of the mogwog on my website.
29: Same school yard [M15]: Burned matches and burned paper. 'Story here is that some of the kids from that school was harassing me for months on end; following after me and shouting at me and throwing stuff at me. ('One may hypothesize someone's been encouraging them) on the streets and when I passed through the school yard there, until I finally had enough and pulled a gun on one of them and told her to back off, so now it's going to court (April 6th 2010: The court meeting should have been today, but was for reasons unknown to me cancelled at the last moment and postsponed - more about it here). The spot where the burned matches and burned paper's been scattered is where some of the older kids sometimes hang out, blocking traffic for people passing. Though, I doubt it's actually those kids that's produced the burned paper. May one asume that the same person who has otherwise been using the school yard for his/her manipulation atempts, as shown on this page, and possibly somehow encouraged the harassment, is this way again trying to stir up paranoia and animosity - or possibly make it appear as if I am planting "fake evidence" this way? (in this connection; see also introductory comment here) - Shortly after I wrote this comment burned matches burnt-out matchboxes have been scattered in the same spot [M15] and another spot nearby.[M20-N21] The large size matchboxes and the very visible placement definately make it look like they've been deliberately planted there to be seen: In fact they definately look as if they're supposed to look like they're planted. One may hypothesize that it's a reaction to my previous comment.
30: This; which was by the bicycle stands [L7] at the same school, is new as of today (April 6th 2010), and may serve as an example of the kind of "object oriented magic" practice of using asociative objects, that I have mentioned somewhere: I have removed the saturation from this image to avoid transfering the implicit color manipulation (see the index) that appear to be the central rationale of this "arrangement". The interpretation seem to be straight foreward, as it appear to invite for someone (likely, of course, to be one of the school kids) to place the (presumably intended to asociate the blame of the) burned papers into the (presumably intended to asociate to an ideologically asociative) [particular color] bucket. Again one seem to have to asume some kind of voodoo-type belief to be in play here (see also images 16, 24, and 35). - Alternatively one might hypothesize, again, that this arrangement was placed in anticipation of my commenting on it, and if so presumably in order to make appear some kind of rationale, that, if so, is not quite clear to me, of my presumed relation or affiliation within a system of color categories - or possibly of some presumed attempt on my part to make such relation or affiliation apparent.
April 7th 2010 - Corrected May 6th: And if anybody ever again does any kind of harassment or stalking of me, Rasmus Palbo Nielsen, on the internet, or in real-life, or anyhow else; and wether by use of psychoactive or voodoo-type graffitis or "object oriented magic" arrangements, or by any other means, then he or she has thereby implicitly agreed to having donated his or her own mid-brain to experimental psychology for purposes of pain research!
31: March 2010: What, are they trying to blame it on anti-smokers now?! -Or; considering the quotation marks; more likely trying to blame it on smokers trying to blame it on anti-smokers?! This graffiti says "smoker-pig" (or "smoker-pigs") in quotation marks. - I believe this tag has been there for awhile though I haven't looked at it. It's in the same place [M15/16] by the school where the matches and burned paper were scattered on the ground about a month ago.
September 7th 2010: Speaking of which, though; would you think that the new psychologic profile that law-enforcement, according to rumors, in the somewhat tainted these days name of crime "prevention" is planning on launching; "the principle-man", would accept a cigarette if you offered him one? Or would smoking be against his principle? - And here's another question: Can you smell an "agent provocateur" far away - and given the generally poking and provoking nature of these graffitis etc. harassments; whose errand do you think the person doing this is going (payroll or not).. And for what purpose do you think?.. If you use your common analytical sense?..
But I tell you what: Let them! Denmark and its people have treated me no better than I can't bother about it if they wanna drive the nation of Denmark straight down the main road to Hell: I don't expect any offspring of mine (they don't seem to allow that - as a principle -, see) to be around to go with them anyways, so I don't really have any reason to see that as my problem.
32: Same wall as in 29 and 31: I don't know what the "SBA" stands for, but "RD" would appear to be the initials of my first name and of Ketty's maiden name. It's next to the tag in picture nr. 30. [M14]
33: Toothpicks scattered by the entranct to the local mall, as well as by the entrance of the nearby café; both places where I regularly go and have a cup of coffee. They appeared there on the same day when the mall had been temporarily closed down by the authorities, due, according to the sign they had on the door; to the finding of "traces of vermin". That was also the same day when the matches started appearing too. I believe the burned paper didn't appear until a couple of days later. May one again asume here that someone is trying to asociate me with the appearance of whatever "vermin remnants" was found, and the resulting temporary shutdown of the mall...
34: The side of the same wall as on image 26. [M17] This was one of the first tags that appeared, though I didn't figure it out till yesterday when I decided to republish a couple of the texts from the old site, and scanning through the one in which I commented on a school shooting I noticed the phrase "televized chill", and was reminded of this tag. Although I'm not sure how long after I wrote the text this tag appeared (I believe these tags started to appear around the time I took down the old site), one might hypothesize that the person making them might have been somehow inspired by it. - As an alternative, or secondary, interpretation one might perhaps see it as an atempt at the same intimidation tactic described in the comment to picture nr. 28.
35: May 9th 2010: This is a corner part of an abandoned fortress building nearby where I live; by the end of a wall on the opposite side, on which someone made three tags; the middle one spelling "WR" whereas the two others on each side has an "EI" between the "W" and the "R" (whatever some people may asociate to those letters. -Such alignement of three semantic units have been a reoccuring theme which have been applied numerous times in context of the placement of objects in the school yard (see f.ex. img.36-38), which also seem to have been applied on a grander geographic scale in as much as the school mentioned here is appr. in midst, in a straight line, between the location of this image and another school nearby where img.16-17 were shot.) Over the entrance to the corner building shown on this image there's a graffiti that says "GOD". Wether to signify that Fifi has its home there, or to somehow (according to the same voodoo type conceptual rationale as hypothesized of imgs. 16, 24, and 30) constitute such a state of affairs, or whatever. Anyways I thought I'd show it on this page too.
36: May 24th 2010: Misc bicycles has frequently placed in different places (one was even placed standing in the middle of the street once). This bycicle has regularly been placed in that location [M10] in the middle of the path, at the same time as other objects having been placed around on the school grounds. This time in connection with the object arrangement in img. 37 and 38.
37: This car tire appeared on the same day as the bicycle in img.36. and the pig in img.38 Originally it was placed by the corner of the building [L17]. In that respect I suspect its rationale as a magic item is a fairytale about a magic table cloth, named "table set thyself" (the danish word for a tire; "dæk", is the same as the word "set" in this sentence), and should be seen in context with the bysicle (as bicycles seem to have been frequently used to symbolize phobic reaction for purposes of phobic induction) and the pig shown in img.38, lying in the kindergarden playground. The total object arrangement here may thus be hypothesized to serve a supposed purpose of "setting the table" for inducing a conception of something to do with a kindergarden and "a pig": On the same day as these objects appeared there was also a branch at location [I6] which was broken off so it hung in over the path, pointing at the school building. ("broken branch" could be another associative pun to confirm this hypothesis - as in "broken code" or "broken arrow", just with the word "branch" - guess what "branch" would refer to). Though I cut that branch off - with my bolt cutter! - Later on the bycicle had been moved to loc.[K8/9] and the car tire had been moved in front of the wall shown in img.26 [M17], in which context the word "dæk" may be of relevance as the root of "dække"; meaning to "cover" (ie. to direct attention to my covering the "skitz" etc. graffiti - see img.26). - Well; whatever one might make of that, it's not I who have been time and again, on a very frequent basis, using the schoolyard for numerous; often, sexually toned, psychoactive manipulations. And it is not I who just leave psychoactive graffitis where they are to have whatever effect on whomever.
38: This toy pig appeared on the same day as the bicycle in img.36 and the car tire in img.37 (the danish term "en gris" may more specifically associate with something like "a dirty old man" - see img.37 - see also comment to img.28). - This location [K8/9] and the car tire had been moved in front of the wall shown in img.26 [N22] (usually on the path outside the fence though) is the same place as the burned paper and the matches mentioned at the bottom of comment to img.29. That place; on the path in front of the kindergarden is one of a few key locations where objects have been placed in context with the kind of elaborate object arrangements implying multiple objects appearing simultaneously, as examplified by the bicycle + car tire + toy pig shown in img.36-38
39: I think this tag may have been there for awhile ('possibly appeared together with the graffitis in img. 31 and 32). I haven't payed much attention to it since I hadn't been able to interpret it. Though now, in context of the location by the kindergarden (see img. 29 and 38) I shot this photo of it, since it is located on the wall [L19] across the passage between the school and the kindergarden. I don't know what the letters stand for (if anything), though perhaps the purpose of this graffiti might be the prenunciation ("eyes" or "I-see"), why this tag might thus intend a similar function as described in img.28 (see also img. 1, 7, and 14).
40: The latest tag in the new line of those tag appearing on the ground. Does the "K" by any chanse stand for "Ketty"? - It's on the train station right in front of where people step off the train. - The general idea of tagging on the sidewalks and otherwise on the ground where people walk, seem to be to have people "walk all over" what the tag refer to.
41: The "Peace" sign. This is very recent. Appeared together with the tag in picture 28.
42: The "Anarchy" sign. Appeared together with the tag in picture 27.
LOVING HUGS TO THOSE WHO MAKE GRAFFITIS ON THE GROUND
They are propably in need of it.
More or less paranormal
I saw this dvd stand at the local gas tank and found it kind of funny how the arrangement of dvds, with condoms included, vividly captures "the situation" of how those idiotic "spy games" that not only Fifi, but evidently also anonymous morons (as documented on this and other pages of this website) seem to insist on playing with me, has implicitly made any kind of romance, and hence reproduction, impossible.
(Of course, any individual occurance like this might at best be described as "peculiar"; though it does not, in and by itself, qualify as a "paranormal" occurance. At least not until every semantic expression in one's perceptual surroundings behave (more or less) "intelligently" in a similarly meaningfully coordinated way. - Though as such this photo may also serve as an example of Fifi's annoying way of expresing it's absolutely untrustworthy self.
On March 9th 2010 this publication had - in spite of the bright visible "No ads!" sticker - been thrown in my mailbox (I suppose it's a genuine ad, though I heard that someone's also making pirate copies of the homeless people's magazine (the pirated homeless magazine too supposedly also sometimes came with a CD included), to trick people to give them money by pretending to be homeless people - and weird things has been thrown in my mailbox on previous occations - so you never know). The headline reads "Of course we are not selfish". It sort of reminds me of that slogan I heard that "suicide is selfish" so wether it's a genuine ad, or if it's an attempt to influence me in some way (once again; on a decision I already made a long time ago - and no; it doesn't succeed in changing that decision in any way; quite the contrary; it is precicely because of this kind of constant 'commenting' that life as such has become an impossibility), and in either case whatever to make of the statement... Anyways I thought I'd present it here... The headline on the included CD reads: "Become version 2.0 of yourself" - This was the morning after I'd tentatively posted a series of pictures entitled "Rasmus Of The Dead" that I thought was kind of fun ('thing is although I posted five images only three images got displayed in the newsfeed; making it appear like a "me, myself, and I" construction, unintendedly asociating something someone else had posted earlier), so wether it's an encouragement to take up again some ideas on iterative cycles of renewal, etc., that I was at some point playing around with in some of my writings, and/or is to be interpreted in connection with the poster on next image...
Wether the dumping of the supposed publication in the previous image has to do with this poster and the graffiti that has also been made on it, at just about the same time (First time I saw it was the day after that supposed publication was dumped in my mailbox, but of course it could have been there a couple of days). - The graffiti made on the cellphone reads: "shitty mobile in your face!", and the girl on the cellphone screen on the poster has, by the graffiti-"artist", been equipped with a penis (pointing in the direction of the school and of my home, btw. But of course that's the way the girl on the poster happen to be standing so there hasn't been much choice in that regard). -If the text on the CD in the supposed publication on the previous image is somehow atempting to encourage (or threaten? - No: "What color" is NOT my life!) me to remake Colorizer as a version 2.0 - and, again; if that publication is a genuine ad, and any possibly semantic correlation is to be interpreted as just another one of Fifi's annoying intrusions, or wether the ad is a fake, and has to do with the graffiti, Is not for me to say. (But either way, just to be clear on that matter; a version 2.0 of the Colorizer (or any other software of my creation) is sure as hell not gonna happen as long as I won't be making money on it, and as long as any kind of commenting on this sort - wether paranormal or otherwise - is going on.)
March 16th 2010: Seemingly in connection with the poster depicted on the right, someone had (again; in spite of the bright visible "No ads!" sticker) again thrown what appeared to be an ad for "The China Grill"* in my mailbox. In as much as one might hypothesize this bright yellow presumed publication to be something other than an actual ad, the meaning appear to be an atempt to hint at, or generate a color-asociation to the "melt-down" (or "china syndrom") methafor (see the superstitions index); possibly in the atempt to scare me to remove the yellow gif image of the selfwrittenemail.html page (compare with the poster on the right). - Another explanation could have to do with the fact that this occur only one or two days after my publication of a tentative definition of- and legislative suggestion on harassment: Whome ever is doing this obviously rely heavily on exactly the kind of harassment described in these documents, and any well articulated and well argued suggestion that such activities should be juridically treated much more seriously, and be punishable by much harsher penalties, is obviously bound to be unpopular with whome ever is doing this, whose activities, for whatever purposes they might be, evidently rely strongly on such conduct as would, by the proposed legislation, be considered to be a very serious crime.
*I ought to mention in this connection that the "ad" in question did not look like the usual, professionally printed, ads that one usually see from the fast food shops; this presumed "ad" looked very much home made - also there is no fast food shop anywhere around here which is named "the china grill", at least that I know of.
And if anyone ever again throw anything other than legitimate mail, delivered through the official postal service, in my mailbox, then that person has thereby implicitly agreed to donate his or her own midbrain to experimental psychology for purposes of pain research.
The other day when I heard a key suddenly being put in the lock to my door I just had to snap this photo of when "donkey-poop" was trying, in vain, to lock herself into my appartment. (Apparently she was too busy talking on the cellphone to notice she wasn't on the right floor). Needless to say; donkey-poop's key don't fit in the lock on my door...
Here's an image of a mechanism you can't unlock without the guy who has the key...
And here's an image of a grave perhaps abit like the grave that I'm about to take whatever keys I might have with me into.
And here's an image of a sour grape.

The Game: Last Season's Winners... Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?!
Feb. 26th 2009: Compromising my decision of not to create anything, I have been working on a new Commodore 64 game; Quonquerah (pronounced like the word "conqueror", like a twelve year old boy would shout it when he and his buddies, armed with plastic swords, storm forth against another group of boys armed with plastic swords out in the local forest.. except it's with a "Q" in stead of a "C"). -However, as I obviously don't expect making a profit off it I don't see any reason why others should have the option to enjoy it, so I never intended to upload- or otherwise distribute it in any way; but in stead it has been my intention from day one of the project to just delete the game again as soon as it'm done with it. Never the less it's fun making it. - However, I have lately been practicing a new policy of whenever the Natrix (or "haunting spirit" - whatever) place irregularities* in my way; to delete one backup copy of an earlier version of Quonquerah. -That way; if or when I reach the point of deleting the Conquerah program diskette itself, then it is goodnight to the Quonquerah project - and thus also to that "the-little-man-prevailing-against-all-kinds-of-obstacles-and-in-the-end-showing-that-he-can-make-it" narrative that this very annoying creature seem to be so fond of (hence all the obstacles) - because then there is not going to be any finished Quonquerah at all!
*I have started using this term about the kind of occurances by which the Natrix manifest itself, as I have found it to be the most applicable.
This is what happens to my older backup-copies of Quonquerah when the Natrix place irregularities in my way, such as dumb-ass riddles and provocation atempts by war-craving idiots: If or when I run out of backups and there's only the Quonquerah diskette itself left then it's goodnight to the Quonquerah project - and thus also to the "the-little-man-battling-against-all-kinds-of-obstacles-but-in-the-end-showing-that-he-can-make-it" (hence all the obstacles) that this very annoying creature seem to be so fond of!
This screenshot should give a basic idea.. It's the initial game situation. At this stage this is the most progressive screenshot I can put up here. Screenshots of a more progressed game situation will have to wait until I am done debugging all the routines responsible for the simulated player moves. (At this point these routines are written, but not debugged.
This routine, which draw up the map, seriously need to be translated into machine language, as it is WAY slow! - As it is now (and that's after I managed to significantly speed up the routine by replacing slow mathematic functions with ones that process faster) it still takes about one minute.
Apart from adding sound and music I also intend to redo the dragon-picture and the "Quonquerah" text with sprite graphics to make it look better. - Provided that the Natrix lets me get thus far, of course which is doubtful. But never say never...
This screenshot gives an impression of the in-game control bar.
This is the debug video I recorded of the latest version of Quonquerah, where I have finally implemented the battle-routine too so that I can show the game in action including the players' units battling each other (or rather: mostly it's player 1 who battle down the other players, sinch I haven't gotten to the point of adjusting or rewriting the decision rules of the simulated players yet, so they're just behaving according to the initially loosely drafted decision rules, which in concrete playing of the game prove somewhat lacking. - Generally there are still a handful of bugs and other details that need to be corrected, and I would also have liked to add sound and music, and improve the graphics too. - I "cheated" abit with the video, in that I edited away all but one second of "thinking time" per simulated player per round, since that is one routine which is much too slow and that I should convert into machine language (if I ever expected the project to still exist when I got to that point). And I also edited away the reoccuring instances of changing into- and outof- emulated "warp mode". Though I hope then that should give an approximated impression of what it would be like to play it once the time consuming routines had been converted into machine language. Even though chances are I'll never get to that point, given that I have at this point no more backup copies left to delete, so next goes the work diskette itself. Mar. 14th 2009: Quonquerah is no more! Admittedly the behaviour of the haunting spirit had improved significantly. Though evidently not enough. And because of further misbehaviour; in addition to deleting the game I also edited away all the battles from the video since I know how fond that haunting spirit seem to be of that kind of stuff.
Som en trøst til den eller de som gerne havde set Quonquerah færdigudviklet... Nej, jeg lægger altså ikke en bar røv op på siden her. Men det skal man ikke være ked af, for dem her kan man også trutte i.
September 12th 2010: I have now reduced a large number of antique mechanical gems, old electronic computers, and other antiques, of a significant financial, affective, and cultural value, to a state of being in which fortunately they can not be of any use to anybody other than as junk metal. Next on the agenda is book burning and destroying music and movies. (I already did my old vinyl records and cassette tapes, as can be seen from the photo.)
