Title: Year Balance (AKA, what happened this year, good and bad things?)
Post by: willy_principal on December 24, 2004, 10:13:53 pm: Year Balance (AKA, what happened this year, good and bad things?)

What things happened this year in the FS Community...
What major Campaigns and Mods appeared...
There are more fans than before, or less???
tell me, i'm relatively new in this forum...(and in the FS Community)
Even more, we could discuss which were the best Campaign/MOD made in this year....or we could elect them by category:
Best Story-telling (mine? Sync...)
Best Plot (mine? Sync, again...)
Most Challenging missions
others (you tell me)

Post by: ShadowWolf_IH on December 24, 2004, 10:22:18 pm: The Summer of Derek spawned a whole lot of work in HLP. Not sure why really. I think that most people were just angry and decided to make freespace 2 the best game....period. The entire community got together and alothough we couldn't actually agree on what to do, we all agreed on one thing. The whole community agreeing on something i think is unheard of. All in all i can say that it was a good year for MT. Alot got accomplished. Infact i plan to have a few more things accomplished in there by year's end.

Post by: Singh on December 24, 2004, 10:36:18 pm: Well, quite a few things actually.

The beggining of the year was quite, not much going on

Then there was 3.5, 3.6. We got a hell of a lot of new hi-poly models (especially bob's herc) and a lot of other stuff. Campaign release wise, nothing much came through the year, except towards the end starting with Homesick, and the recent flurry of campaigns we can see.

[story mode]
But in the middle of year, a great evil loomed over HLP. An evil that revolted almost everyone in the forum, something which reviled not only FS fans, but those of the rival WC forums. That evil's name shall not be said, for saying it shall only summon it. but the evil disappeared as the forces of HLP came together to fight it, along with re-enforcements from elsewhere. The evil was vanquished before it could breach the walls of Interplay and steal the holy grail of the copyright. The community came off better after this, with release after release after release. Reders were now challenged by screenshots, and this was taken a notch higher when the great shiney-mage Lightspeed releaseth his many shine and glow maps.

Ah, much rejoicing is there in the lands of HLP. With 3.6.5 on it's way, much rejoicing shall follow.

Post by: WMCoolmon on December 25, 2004, 01:38:20 am: Something really, really good happened today...y'all will find out when 3.6.5 is released. :drevil:

Post by: WMCoolmon on December 25, 2004, 02:51:02 am: You only become a non-n00b when everyone forgets you're a n00b. ;)

[story-mode]And so that year of 2004, Steak returned. And there was much rejoicing. Long had the people awaited their savior, crying out in loud voices for salvation from their times of peril and hardship. Long they endured the cold grasp of death moving ever more closer. And so upon the return they quickly prepared their hot ovens and their butcher knives, and that year they had themselves a feast.

The great Setekh also returned that year. But that is another story...[/story-mode]

well maybe, since you realize you are one of the 3, you should do somthing to change your behavior instead of acting like goddamn 2 year olds

Post by: Taristin on December 25, 2004, 07:09:34 pm: This is getting us all nowhere fast.

Willy, you're not nearly as bad as the other two... Learn to use the search button, and don't make sarcastic responses, unless you mean them as jokes (meaning you use the smilies correctly) and you'll be fine.

Post by: Unknown Target on December 25, 2004, 07:24:40 pm: What I don't get is how he knows he's an annoying troll, and yet still acts like one.

P.S. Three trolls is quite a bit for HLP.

Carl the shine-mapped Shivan
Had a shiny exoskeleton
And if you ever saw it
You would see your own beam glows!

All of the other Shivans
Used to scritch and scratch his shell
They never let poor Carl
Join in any super-novas!

Then one bloody invasion
Aken came to say
"Carl with your shell so bright.
Won't you guide my ship tonight?"

Then how the Admiral loved him
And he shouted out with glee
"Carl the shiny Shivan
You'll go down in- AIEEEEEEEE!!!"

Silent night
Blinding light
All is hot
All is white

Round Capella
Shipwrecks and gas
Flaming hulls
and gigantic blasts

Sleep in multiple pieces!
Sleeep in multiple pieces....

You can download it here:

It's a zipped VP file with everything you need to play the mission: tables, models, sounds, maps, interfase icons, and (of course) the mission itself...
