MCSG iOS App!

[Ali]

In this case a necro is a day because he said it would take a day to upload the picture and never did. Therefore since he hasn't brought the required proof the thread is dead and it should have been locked ages ago.

We'll it seems you have no patience.

We'll it seems you have no patience.

No, he just has common sense and can detect an obvious liar.

Anyway guys, I've took it upon my self to make an MCSG app!

All you need to do is give me your credit card details and address at

We'll it seems you have no patience.

You don't realize the biggest problem here. OP posts that he is going to make an app and is going to release it before Christmas. This means he should pretty much be done and should be in the testing stages of his app, right? This makes people excited and they like his OP gaining him likes for doing a project. Here's the problem. If OP has an app and he is intending to release it before Christmas shouldn't he have some sort of progress to represent it? Most developers do and that's why it's such a problem because at the moment it's really just motivative text that has no concise evidence.

Want more proof that it seems off? Ok, I can do it.
Let's analyse OP:
I am a developer and a Digital Appreance [Appearance] assistance(Just got Promoted) for Apple!
What in the world does this mean? Well according to OP he got promoted in Apple's Retail Store NOT the Apple Headquarters where they develop and create products. So in other words retail experience.

Myself and some friends are working on a similar app not just Wins, Maps e.t.c. But with the forums aswell [as well] and not the ugly look but a very friendly and wrathfull [wrathful] look!(Still haven't decided on colors please post on which color it should be).
So here have the app description. It shows "wins, maps, etc" and also the forums in a different colour scheme. Ok that's fair it's a web app. The thing is (which I am assuming) you probably need access to the resources of MCSG to gain info on YOUR wins and losses, etc. Have they gotten permission to do this? We actually don't know. I'd also like to see how they implement CSS alternations to a forum. It's been done, but again it be a lot easier if they had direct access to the websites files which IMO be much more simpler.

We are 25% complete and currently ongoing.
Ok fair enough.

We are working as fast as we can,for an IOS app you need to have allot [a lot] of Codes and that will take about 2-3 months we have been working on it for 2 months now. We intend to finish and release it on Christmas or Before!
This is where the faults begin. According to OP they have been working on an iOS app for two months. Ok, that's fair, but then they will release it on Christmas or before? So if you don't get it he said he was 25% done the app but 2/3 into development. 2/3 into development is 66.6% done theoretically and 41% more than 25%. If you are done 25% of the app and expect to release it in a month you have a pretty unstable release and I would fear to even try it out as a consumer product.

We will be updating it Annualy and with the Seasons to look sexy! :3
This has to be the worst line in the sentence. Maybe at first you think this is fine but read it out loud. He will update the app annually, that is, once a year. If anything is broken in this app you will have to wait a year for it to be fixed. That is what the line literally says. In any developers code that is terrible practice and saying that would make users unsure how dedicated to their app they will be. Now maybe he just means edit the colour scheme once a month but then I question "Why can't I just edit any colour scheme to this app at any time?" to me that logic seems a lot better.

Now I didn't feel like explaining myself but the fact you said I have no patience implies I was waiting for this app to come and I was being upset that it hasn't. Unfortunately that is where you are wrong as I am not even waiting for this app at all. I am telling users to not be disappointed in something that may never come out and if OP proves me wrong I would actually be happy about it because he was putting in an app despite what is contradictory OP says. Until then this topic has no valid proofs until OP has something to show for because right now there is nothing to show. Remember MysterioussAli the best way to know if something is true or not is to study the facts yourself and hopefully you will see my logic.

Nice that someone took the time to wrtie this down.

But, on one point I have to disagree:
XenForo (MCSG's forum software) is is written fully in PHP and the data is stored in a MySQL database. Now of course, having access to said database would make the process of creating a forum app a whole lot shorter. But it is possible otherwise, there are libraries for most popular languages that can read HTML files and extract certain data, I'm not sure about the javascript, but I'm surr it can be done. If you did that you could make a forum app, but at the same time the app creator could hide some code to get your login data (not sure if apple looks at your code if you submit an app), but technically, that's possible at the moment aswell as MCSG doesn't use HTTPS.
For the leaderboards the deal is a bit of a different one. As far as I know MCSG stores their data in a MySQL database somewhere in some datacenter. Again, it would be A LOT easier to have access to that DB, but there are two other ways which would kinda work too.
1. Same as the forums, you extract the data from the HTML files, this has actually already been done! If you look at Swiftwork 's beautiful android app he did just that.
2. This idea I thought would probably work aswell, but it would be really unstable: You could create a minecraft bot to join the servers manually checking people's stats using /stats. As said, this would be really unstable though because there are many factors that can affect the bot, for example Mojang's unstable servers (login, session and such).

To conclude this post, which is fully written on a phone btw so there may be typos, I fully agree with JWingWangWong and I do indeed think that this is not a real deal.

No it's not a MCSG application for a staff stage.Just let people know that we are working on a MCSG app for the IPHONE

no ipad :c

Did you really spend this much time doing that? #NoLife it seems like you like to take pleasure from critisizing a good idea.

Did you really spend this much time doing that? #NoLife it seems like you like to take pleasure from critisizing a good idea.

Sure, it be cool to have, but you realize a good idea does not mean a feasible idea. If I said an idea like "Free donor ranks for everyone!" that be a good idea, but no profit would be made for it making it not feasible unless there was a plan behind it.

It is my job to criticize design because that can be something that is part of my degree and it helps me understand an app better. Is it no life? I'm not very sure why that be no life it only took me 5-7 minutes to write @ 70-80WPM. I'm also not sure why voicing an opinion is considered a no life either I mean I wouldn't say your opinions are no life because you spent time writing a post. The whole point of forums is to take a break off life and discuss things and with finals coming around soon at university taking study breaks helps.

y you copy me
It was my idea to create and app!
looooky here

Well, for those of you who still want an app, myself and an ex-prince of Nigeria are currently working on one! We are 69% of the way through, but need donations to release screenshots and complete this project!
Please go to www.scam.com and help today! We only need $200,000!

THANK GOD!!!!! I LOVE U!

Look guys, I know that you all want this app, and it would be nice to have, but would it kill your to be a little bit positive? I mean, I thought we were a nice community. A while back I made a silly thread posting how jefeperro said 'KorStonesword dies first' in lobby and how he died before me and I went on to win the game. Several people actually accused me of faking the evidence! I know we have every right to be doubtful, but, on the off chance he's not lying (which it seems he has no reason to be) we could be a little supportive.

I'm skeptical of this, too be honest.

First of all, there are a lot of things mentioned in prior posts to mine that point out a lot of very valid things.

Christmas is a little more than 20 days from now, and it is approaching quickly. If the app is going to be done by Christmas, he should be able to post screenshots, or some kind of legitimate information about the app. It's been a day or two, if not more since he said he needed to contact his "assistant". If his assistant is so hard to reach he still hasn't been able to reach him yet, how have they been working on the app? And who is this assistant? If they are only your assistant, from what you've clued us in on, why are they in control on app screenshots?

As far as I am aware, the OP (Jippohoon) does not at all mention his experience with coding, and scripting apps of any kind, so we are immediately to question the apps stability. According to his profile, he is 19, which doesn't mean he couldn't have taken online courses, high school courses, or even taught himself how to code and script, but it is impossible for him to have gone to college and learned anything at that type of schooling level. Now,t hat doesn't exactly mean anything, seeing as our very own Forarain taught himself code (from what I know) however, that is not the same as the coding needed to develop an app, and from what I know, that coding is even harder. I do not OP's abilities, however this is a very difficult task.

Lastly, as far as I know, this cannot legally be placed on an App Store and called "MCSG official forums" without consent from the person who owns the trademark, or "business" of MCSG. I also know that putting an app on the App Store requires a developers license type thing registered through Apple, and it costs money to place said app on the App Store. Without a real degree in developing, or whatever you would call that, or any legitimate experience you cannot legitimately acquire the needed developers account to place an App in the App Store.

However, with all of that said, it does not need to go on the App Store, but that leaves the question- then how will we download this app? As far as I know, it is possible to download apps from other sources on your device, but all this I know only from using a Pokemon emulator, which is no where near the same. It is possible, however, to develop a website redirection and then place a "shortcut" on your home screen, however that is not really an app, it is a shortcut to a website, which essentially is over-complicating what you could do just by connecting to the normal website.

And even then, that's not legal, or allowed without consent from Chad himself because that'd be like making your own Nike website, but giving it a different layout without having permission from the owner of Nike. This is the same, just on a smaller scale.

Even still, with my skepticism, I am anticipating seeing what comes out of this. I would love to see an MCSG iOS app, however, at this time with the current proof you've given me, I do not believe it will be this.

I still do believe you can do it, but this is what I need to know from you-

A. How do you plan on distributing this app? The App Store should basically be out of question, unless... (see question B.)
B. Do you have any legitimate developing experience? Could we see your past projects?
C. Screenshots. Legitimate, in-app screenshots would be the holy grail to your success, and having people believe you.
D. Who are you working with, and can you answer question "B" about them? What have they developed in the past? Currently all we know about them is that they are unnamed, and simply referenced as your "assistant" meaning they are not the main face of this project, but they still help you along.
E. How do you plan to get permission to continue with this distribution of this app? From my prior knowledge, you cannot simply redesign the website with permission from the company owner.

Well, there's my opinion Like I said, I do not fully doubt you, and if this is real, go for it- good luck, however I'd really like to see some proof that this is real

EDIT: After a bit of digging done by my friend, it appears you are banned, and definitely not in very good standing with Chad, which will make getting permission for things very difficult.
