I heard someone say that it was, is that true?
-
Life support.
Sesq's rather in-and-out of late, ditto GalEmp, but things are getting done regardless.
-
Well,I think it's dead.

You're not on the staff.

Well,I think it's dead.
Major campaigns not having a spurt of activity for a while does not mean they're dead. Every single campaign with a forum and has not shown screenies for a period of time, I swear to God, gets these same old "Is it dead??" posts. Rather irritating, especially for the staff.
A big campaign demands a lot of work, and people do have Real Life and other projects to attend to as well.

We need to clone some workers.

Very true.
Here's a counter point. When these projects announce themsleves and release hype about what they are going to do, they get people exited. That brings the project the attention they wanted. But if the project doesn't continiue to feed hype and eyecandy to its subjects, they will get agitated. Its a waiting game for the fans. Not knowing what is going on with something you're eagerly expecting can be difficult to bear.
I see three solutions:
1. Shut up about your revolutionary campaing. Work in a dark, damp cellar and be pleased that no annoyin fanbois are rattling your cage.
2. Be that attention whore. Shower your loyal subjects with screens and vids. Make them drool so much they have to consume 10 liters of water in a day if the wish to stay alive.
3. Do both, but be prepared occasionally reassure your fans that you are still on the saddle.
You know... I think the two things are equal. Whining "Is it dead?", and an arrogant "It's done when it's done". Respect goes both ways.
It's not like the Goa'uld could reign without the Jaffa... Right?
DISCLAIMER: I dont mean anything by this post. I just stumbled upon an active discussion about dying and wrote something I already forgot.
-
You're not on the staff.
I am.
I'm seriously having doubts about SA's status at the moment. Sesq and GE have disappeared, Phreak doesn't seem to be checking the forum anymore. I could, I suppose, technically just do the whole thing on my own, but it would not be the campaign it was meant to be, both in terms of Sesq's vision and it being much more no-frills.
-
GE always disappears over the summer. I'm sure he'll be back as a regular in the fall.
As for Sesq, that's less certain. IIRC he said he'd be done with his thesis at the end of July (or maybe August).
-
You're not on the staff.
I need to be in the staff?
I posted here because this subforum,for over a month,no one said "No it isn't".
That's strange to me.
-
probably not a good idea to argue with goober...
-

You are not on the staff, so you have no authority to say whether the campaign is dead or not.
-
I don't come here for having fights with other members, so calm down.
I've already explained it,I thinked this project was dead just because for a long period I noticed what I said before. see down here
I'd like to see some SA members posting here as say something. That's all.
-
God, is SA dead? I see that the forum error a LONG time ago has halted your progress. Since then I have seen progress drop. Is anything going on in internal or is it dead? And I think that you should use some other ship other than the Warlock. I'm sick of 'if there's a Tanen, there must be a Warlock' business. :doubt:
-

To answer your question, Snail, people are busy. The staff is trying to work on it, but they've got other deadlines at the moment (Sesq's thesis, Goober's ST: R). It'll get done.
-
Forward for the scroll!!! :D
-
People are busy...
They don't have time for over a month to come here and write "we are busy" or "no,the project is dead"....
Come on....
-
Cthul'hu demands screenshots and trailers!!

Ngtm1r and I are both on staff, and we have both posted in this thread. Is that not good enough for you?
This is a warning. If you continue to be obnoxious then you'll be banned for a week.
Since you're a n00b, and may not understand why, I'll even spell it out for you. You are doing what is generally known as trolling, or in other words, making inflammatory posts in the hopes of provoking a response. This will not be tolerated. If you want to be a member of this forum, you'll need to learn a little netiquette.
-
Err... Bunny says sorry for demanding screenshots and trailers. :shaking:
-
Cthul'hu demands screenshots and trailers!!
Cthulhu can wait. Since I just blew it up.
/me has been playing Derelict SCP.
-
You can't blow up Cthul'hu! :no:

Did you not read?
Ngtm1r's first post in this thread was a status report, and Goober just elaborated about half-way through.
-
I bet SA is released almost same time with MT ;)
-
I'll ask my great grandkids to pass a copy of each to my frozen head in 2137.
-

WHOA! I just noticed! Why are you playing Derelict SCP? Cthulhu commands you to work on SA!!! :mad2:
-
Because I've done pretty much all I can until Sesq gets back.
-
I am now aware how annoying it is when someone pesters you about finishing your campaign, but I'm not trying to be a troll. All I want to know is how the progress is going and where Sesquipedalian, Galactic Emperor and the staff has gone? Even if they are here (ngtm1r), what are they doing? SA was probably one of the campaigns that I would hate to see die, but it seems such a long time ago that I've seen some action around here. I just want to know what's going to be needed before being finished. Where is Sesq? Where is GE? Where is everyone? Internal may be buzzing with activity, but out here we know nothing and get red text at the top telling us nothing has been posted in 30 days. If something is happening, tell us. If something is not, tell us why.
Hope you don't get annoyed by this.
-
Well, I'm trying to get Open to work on my (new) computer, Sesq is probably waiting on me, GalEmp is MIA.
-
So Sesq is back? When was Galactic Emperor last seen? Before summer, right?
-
Correct.
-
Sesq is MIA yet again, which makes sense considering his daughter was due to be born at the end of August. :) Galemp is MIA due to having an extremely hectic semester.
Actually, if you had asked us last month, the forum was buzzing with activity. :)
-
Karma is MIA too...
Sesquipedalian leaved Woomeister alone with the Evanescent SadisticSid.He has almost killed two MODs.
-
Gen select weapon, targetting only Moderators or higher. This bosdes well for Noob advancement in society :D
-
We need a special game flag fo that.
-

:wtf: Huh?
-
I feel I have to confess - I have almost killed every mod out there by never taking part in them. I'm far worse than Sesqepiu... Sesqudapi... ah screw it, Sesq. I'm so very sorry :(
-
:wtf: Huh?
I have no idea either.
-
I think he's saying that SadisticSid killed Inferno?
-
Yup, and he did it with a candle stick in the forum... :drevil:
(Sorry I saw that post and I couldn't resist the bump. A CLUE moment came over me. Now leave Sid alone.)
-
Inferno needs more staff...
Guess what, I just made a wannabee ships.tbl for Scroll, I was making a Vasudan mod and saw the screaming resemblance, must've been subconsciously adding mods that were in SA (Claymore, Tanen, Reshef, Imset). :wtf:
-

Sesquipedalian(this is the strangest Latin nickname ever)also worked on Inferno.
-
I like his name. And so does Goober. :)

:confused: When?

Indeed I do. In fact, "Sesquipedalian" was my first choice of user name at HLP, before I discovered that Sesquipedalian had registered here three days before I tried to. :sigh:
(Or maybe that's what you were alluding to. In which case, I apologize for ruining your subtlety. :))

Well duh :p
please don't hurt me
-
It's not dead, it only goes as slow as translating the Scroll of Atharzamin without any knowledge of the Vesudan language.
-
Vesudan language.
Yes, we can see it will be quite hard.
;)

and the dead thread has been dead for the past month and a half. the last post in the interal forum was at the end of january
-
In thread "Downloads Borked" by Goober5000.
-
Bring me the head of Sesquipedalian.
-
"He's dead, Jim."
-
Please don't spam, I really want this project to continue. I believe that if Sesq reemerges, SA may pick up again.
-
Sesq checked HLP yesterday!! :eek:
Did he post anything on internal?! Is SA going to start moving?
-
He's moving across country again, this time from Vancouver to Hamilton, ON.
-
I suppose it takes half a year to set up a computer? :doubt:
-
This project will be taken up again after ST:R and TVWP Ch1 are fully completed in Q1 2008. Smallish edits have happened recently.
-
And what of sesq?
-
This is from a conversation I had with him on December 1st...
Sesquipedalian: We have been incredibly busy. If I ever claimed I was busy before in my life, I now know I had no idea what I was talking about.
...
Sesquipedalian: [This Christmas break] I have to revise the text for my first book, grade some papers, go through all the hoops for getting an article published, and of course have all the wonderful Christmas celebrations with family.
And GalacticEmperor has a ton of architectural finals this month. But hopefully, both of these guys will be more available next year.
-
True, and sesq is a dad now :P Can't claim to understand that seems as how im most likely the youngest member of HLP
-
This project is not dead, don't worry. Freespaceking has recently made a beautiful set of maps for the special models used by SA. I have an emergency plan for a quick release too; but Goober isn't ready to push the panic button yet. One way or another, there is enough done to guarantee that a release will happen in one form or another.
-
I'd rather not have a quick release if it means half-assed missions and inconsistent model quality.
-
Good to hear that SA is getting done:)
-

It doesn't mean that at all. :) It would simply be a different approach to storytelling.
-
You mean release in chapters?
-
Precisely. The matter won't be taken up until Q1 2008, in any case, when TVWP Ch1 and ST:R are 100% done.
-
i'm pretty sure we have a couple 11 year old here a HLP

What? You mean like Titan and Hades (well they're 12 same thing)?
-
Titan is 14, and so am i :wtf:
-
In that case Titan's profile is full of lies and deceit.
-
Titan is 14, and so am i :wtf:
Well Titan certainly acts like an 11 year old at times...
-
Well so do others.
-
Gentlemen, the subject of various posters' ages has very little to do with SA, so I'd appreciate no further discussion of the subject in here.
-
So.
Where's Sesq? Has he contacted anyone lately?
-
No.
I, however, have contacted him lately.

Don't call us, we'll call you.
