Recently, i read a png post by namida, so we need a standard for all systems, loap, lemmini, neo and super lemmix, all of them, i currently feel tired so you can add a rule what is a fan game and or engine is a true lemmings engine or fangame in a reply, type away, lets see how long until an argument sparks and burns down this flammable city.

I can't even figure out what you're trying to say here. What does PNG have to do with anything else here? What do you mean by "a standard"?
My projects
2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)
Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)

sir namida, when i went to lemmini, i looked at the future of lemmini, where you posted a reply to that topic, so what should a lemming standard be? what rules should it include? its up to you!

Ah, I think I know what the OP is referring to. It's this post, in which namida shares a meme (in PNG format) about proliferating standards.

@The64Watcher Let me explain what that's about. So, in The Future Of Lemmini topic I proposed that we should re-invent Lemmini by merging all the best elements of the various versions (original Lemmini, SuperLemmini and SuperLemminiToo) into a single new version which becomes the new "Lemmini".

Namida's response is alluding to the fact that, rather than this "ultimate" version of Lemmini successfully making the others obsolete and triumphing as the universal standard, we'd simply end up with yet another version of Lemmini; people may still prefer to use te older versions, for whatever reason. That's the implication, anyway.

So, to be clear, namida isn't suggesting that we come up with a standard for Lemmings fangames - quite the opposite, in fact. He's pointing out that any attempt to do so simply creates another set of standards alongside all of the many existing ones. People generally tend to differ in their opinions about exactly how something should be done, so it's impossible to come up with something that will please everyone (and thus make everything else obsolete).

Hope that explains it :)
