Title: To do a camp or not to do a camp, THAT is the question
Post by: Tiara on February 13, 2003, 02:40:34 am: Well, I am thinking of making a campaign. Either a B5 campaign or a FS campaign.

I want this to be a within-the-month-done kinda campaign.

Now should I? And if yes, a B5 or FS one? What would you guys like?

Post by: Tiara on February 13, 2003, 02:43:44 am: Ow yeah, if its gonna be B5 it will be with the TBP ships etc. (Already have permission :p). Ofcourse, credit will be given where credit is due.

Post by: Knight Templar on February 13, 2003, 02:49:21 am: You and Darkage should put your powers together and make one big uber 1 month campaign! :D

Why not make 2 one monthers, a FS one and a B5 one?

EDIT: you have any stories planned out or just giddy?

Post by: Tiara on February 13, 2003, 03:06:16 am: Have a story (outline for both).

And I requested permission to use TBP files from the demo camp. I was gravted permission.

Post by: Knight Templar on February 13, 2003, 03:11:41 am: Then do both? That'd be pretty sweet, release one in March/Aprill then one in May/June.

If you have the undivided time, you should be able to get a good deal of work done in the time frame you want. Undivided being no other projects.

Post by: Tiara on February 13, 2003, 03:37:28 am: Well, I do have some other work (much in RL) so... :p But which one is preferred?

Post by: Knight Templar on February 13, 2003, 03:40:56 am: pfft real life is for L4/\/\0Idz ;) :p

IMO FS could use a good lil campaign. I may just be saying that though because I know nothing of B5 other than one or two episodes worth.

My votes on FS

Post by: Tiara on February 13, 2003, 06:53:25 am: any more people care to voice their opinion.

Post by: kasperl on February 13, 2003, 07:22:45 am: fs, deffinatley, fs needs some campaigns, and if you could make something with the SCP changes that would be great.

i'd be willing to help, but see my sig, i just don't have the know how.

Post by: aldo_14 on February 13, 2003, 07:24:25 am: I've been working on an idea for a 'quick' (FS2) campaign (only 1 new ship) - PM me.
Title: To do a camp or not to do a camp, THAT is the question
Post by: Tiara on February 13, 2003, 02:39:13 pm: Well, I hope more people can come here and choose between FS or B5 or I'll just assume that nobody is interested and just abandon this project before its even started.

I know ppl have been here. Please reply. I need some input on this. I can't make a descision based on 2 votes...
Title: To do a camp or not to do a camp, THAT is the question
Post by: Stunaep on February 13, 2003, 02:45:33 pm: FS campaign. I want to kill some Shivans. And seeing what you did in NW, I think you can come up with a kickass storyline.
Title: To do a camp or not to do a camp, THAT is the question
Post by: Tiara on February 13, 2003, 02:53:01 pm: Well, in NW I didn't really give it my all. Mostly quick writing there. Since it would be swamped anyway I never spend too much time on those stories. :p

I'm planning to actually do that here though :D

So, B5 is generally not really favored? I thought it would be seeing as there are so many FS camps in progress.

Well, Just a few more votes.

Post by: Sesquipedalian on February 13, 2003, 03:34:18 pm: FS
Title: To do a camp or not to do a camp, THAT is the question
Post by: Knight Templar on February 13, 2003, 05:04:56 pm: B5 is less known I think. A good freespace camp with some new ideas, or even just Supar writing, or both would be really cool as we haven't seen one in a while.

Oh btw Tiara, if you feel in the mood to do some more freespacing when you are done with this, lemme know :D

Its not that I'm not interested. It's just that I`m equally happy to play a good FS2 or TBP campaign.

If I had to pick one I`d say TBP cause at the moment they are very short of campaigns which means that most of the time TBP sits unused on my hard drive. but if you`ve got a good idea for an FS2 campaign go ahead with it.

Post by: Silver_Scythe on February 13, 2003, 08:03:33 pm: Do a B5 campaign :p

Post by: Ryx on February 14, 2003, 03:57:17 am: No, I'm 'suffering' from B5 meltdown right now (until my season 1 DVD box arrives), so do a FS campaign

Post by: Tiara on February 14, 2003, 04:22:39 am: HA! Just watched the whole first season...

And second... and third... and fourth.................................. and fifth

So, I am going to do a FS camp.

*starts writing the storyline*

FS! Something to show all the newbies when they show up and say "I need a good camp.

Sorry Darkage - something else to show the newbies...

Hehe. No need to ask permission to use published material, as long as credits are given. :) I was afraid that some nuthead has allowed you to use R2 material. :D

Damn! Looks like you decided already. But my opinion is biased in any case. :D (Go TBP, GO!)

Post by: LAM3O on February 14, 2003, 06:55:52 pm: I also thought you meant tbp let you use release2 stuff, but since that's not the case i'd make a regular freespace 2 campaign, and a tbp campaign when release 2 brings us alot more ships to work with.
Title: To do a camp or not to do a camp, THAT is the question
Post by: Tiara on February 15, 2003, 05:02:47 am: How long will it take before they release R2?
Title: To do a camp or not to do a camp, THAT is the question
Post by: LAM3O on February 15, 2003, 01:14:42 pm: their official answer is, "When it's Ready"

Supposidly they have alot of it done so i doubt it would be that long, but there is no publicized target date.

Post by: Whitelight on February 16, 2003, 01:39:10 pm: Release 2 was sapose to be a belated christmas present, so i`d say within the next few months..

I mean, in a few months I might not even be interested anymore.

Suddenly, I don't feel so bad about the 6 months of Preproduction we did on TI...
