Title: Freespace Jeopardy?
Post by: Davin on June 08, 2009, 08:32:10 am: Well, if that is a faustus that just went BOOM, I'd say somebody just lost a red alert mission from FS1. Can't remember the name of it though.

Title: Re: Freespace Jeopardy?
Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on June 14, 2009, 05:02:02 am: Close enough. It would be completely correct if you mentioned the destruction of the SC Bane and SC Melchom; those two Cain cruisers are the second trigger for the supernova. If they are not destroyed, the supernova will never start.

That's not a proper Jeopardy clue. That's just a true-or-false. You've got to use a word like 'this' or something, to indicate what sort of answer you're looking for.

Title: Re: Freespace Jeopardy?
Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on June 27, 2009, 12:56:45 am: That's the answer, Killer Whale. In Jeopardy, the role of question and answer is reversed.

In Jeopardy, this could be a question:

"The name of this mission is a direct reference to freeloading. The primary target in this mission has a name that is a pun on Kentucky Fried Chicken."

...and this could be an answer:

"What is the significance of the mission titled 'I Did Not Get Paid For This', and what is the pun regarding this mission's primary target?"

What is the mission "Out of the Dark, Into the Night"?

I had to go back and look at the mission name in the FSPort and open up different files one by one in notepad to see the name and description to remember the whole name.
Hey, no cheating. :p

This scheming character from a previous :v: project was referenced in an Easter egg in the final mission of FS2.
