The idea of the Academy is that it will be an on-going thing. Newbies join when they first come to the community (or first start using FRED) and people in the Academy leave when they are clubbed over the head and dragged off kicking and screaming into one of the Hosted projects
The only reason I did the sign up thread in the first place was to get an idea of the numbers. It's a good thing I did. I was planning on making the first campaign a 7-8 mission campaign and as you can see I have double that number of people signing on
RedMenace and Goulmeister : I need to know if you want to use Retail or FSO.
EDIT : I've counted up the number including the new sign ups I've gotten today and now I've got
20 FREDders to deal with! Between Singhs and Black Wolf's campaigns I've got 17 missions to assign
Basically that means that I need a good, well planned out campaign idea rather badly. I've got lots of plotline ideas but what I need is a campaign with around 10 missions with the actual missions already laid out ready for FREDding. If anyone has one submit it now and you're almost certain to see it get made. If anyone wants to write up the Epsilon Pegasi campaign as a 10 mission campaign that would be exceedingly useful to me.
