Title: When this all blows over...
Post by: Ace on July 15, 2004, 08:05:54 pm
...what are you going to do?

Personally, I'm going to take a shot at running the SCP stuff and seeing some of the new high polygon ships.

Edit- This topic will contain nothing relating to D____ S____ or FS3, period.

Yeah, make FS 2.9 and put D.. *cough* to shame! :p We got the talent right here on this board to pull it off.

I'm gonna slowly alter NW so it doesn't purposefuly and deliberately infringe on the intellectual property rights of the FS universe (but still infringes on Shrikes IP quite heavily).

But seriously, isn't an SCP based Freespace version something viable? I mean, the progress already made is actually quite friggin' awesome. With the correct pimpage across the net it could be big.

*is going to get his various projects and campaigns out and pimp like crazy*

Nice to have a direct example of what you're not fighting for to work against.

Well, not comercially.  But the standalone TBP releases could have a big impact at helping draw people in.  Also the WC conversion, if that's standalone too.

I'm going to show all my Freesapace playing friends the beauty of SCP.

I have to admit though, with all this rackus kinda made the whole community much more tight.

Agreed, but please be careful with what everyone says (not directed straight at you Cabbie - but at everyone).

If the community puts out the right message - it shows we care about the game and don't care for what Derek apparently said regarding this community.

Put out the wrong message and the entire FS community could become branded by all others as nothing more than forum trolls. Instances of this have already been made apparent but if people resort to flaming on other forums it rubs off badly on everyone. We lose all credibility and - in doing so - make Derek look as though he was right all along.

I know we're better than that - but we need to act it too. Flaming and trolling will get us nowhere and merely pass him and others who would look down on us all the evidence they need. All they need to do with that kind of material and say "see? How can you take these people seriously".

But if we're mature about it - we have the ammunition.

Think about it.

I'm gonna do the same thing I did before and during the D.S. business (hey, the initials remind me of the Death Star) - go out and party all summer, then come back and finish another LM installment.

I'm going to finish MT, do my voices for 158th, work on FSU, and help Kazan smoke someone's ass with "Ferrium Oxide"

I'm going to continue with Equinox Sector and show how ub3r l33t SCP gets over the ages.
Then I'll FRED some stuff for MG and FSCZ, if i can find the time. :/

So... do we actually have a project exclusively tied into the SCP?
Title: When this all blows over...
Post by: Rictor on July 16, 2004, 09:07:54 am
Well, Inferno seems to be as good a mod as any. That, or some of the other biggies, Babylon Project, Blackwater Ops. As for the other (T-V War, Wing Commander, Machina Terra, Mindgames etc), I don't know how close they are to completion...

Indeed, but at what cost? I think that the antagonism that has come up between here and AV has been very sad, and I hope we can work to change that.

TAP will  likely be standalone as well. We're starting to get our legs back, so you might actually see something in the next few months.

No, between HLP and DS & asskisser Corp.

There are some pretty decent guys there. Been PMing with them on random topics :p :)

I think any problems at the Av thread were raised more by people trying to create them, who were members at that forum.  Certainly, from what I remember when I was participating in that thread, most if not all of the HLP members posting were trying to be civil and offer an honest opinion.

I certainly was. I didnt even get to that thread from HLP either.
Says a lot about a community when they ban new members simply because they happen to post at another forum.

Ironically enough I came here while taking a break from FREDding for SoR. If anything this has made me more determined to work hard on my campaigns.

Likewise.  I've noticed that a lot of the more open-minded respondents on the Bluesnews, etc, threads have actually been looking at the community and the work that's been done.  This could, in a somewhat twisted way, be a boost to our work with FS2.

True but in my experience things like these tends to blow over sooner or later. Chances are, once tempers cool off regret repleaces anger on both sides - I'm sure there are lots of AV folks who also felt bad with this crazy flame war.

At least HLP got noticed and once they cool down they might want to drop by and see what's going on. :)
