Title: Freespace Campaign Trivia
Post by: Nuclear1 on July 24, 2005, 06:43:34 pm
Well, we've had one for the main Freespace campaign and universe, so how about we have a trivia game relating to user-made campaigns? I'll get us started with a few, though feel free to chime in with any of your own favorite (or your own) campaigns and mods.

Code: [Select]

Identify the following squadrons, ships, or places with their respective campaigns:
[list][*]212th, Phi Eridani, Hyperion
[*]101st, Aidon Mallory, Selket
[*]Polaris, Philadelphia, Novaya Zemyla
[*]Luyten, Overseer, Gueverra
[*]GTD Terra, Earth Alliance, Maginot Line
[*]Altair, Pestilince, Heretic
[*]Aquitaine, Arcturus, Nexus
[*]Independence, Delta Serpentis, Tereus
[*]Xerxes, Tanen, Udjat
[*]Tanis, Blade, Soban
[*]Stalingrad, Liberty, Katana
[*]Sol, Starborn, Groupmind
[*]Antares, Hawkeye, Munro
[*]314th, Beta Aquilae, Trotsky
[*]70th, Lexington, Hithsymtek
[*]McCrae, Nan'Su, Tania Austrailis
[/list]

Identify the campaigns by their slogans:
[list][*]Be Afraid
[*]Where's Your Loyalty?
[*]Life's Cheap - Why Not Get Paid to Take It?
[*]Nothing Is As It Seems...
[*]Everyone Has a Limit...
[*]You're Out of Time
[*]The World is Over... the Fight Has Just Begun
[*]Evil on the Fringe
[*]All Hands to Battle Stations! Prepare for War!
[*]Serve onboard the GTCv Actium, fighting at the frontlines of the most heated battles in history!
[/list]


There. I've successfully pimped at least two my campaigns in that list somehow. :nervous:

In case anyone wants to add to that, or keep it going, go right ahead. ;) Note: this may be difficult if you don't visit places like Game Warden (http://www.game-warden.com/forum) or GTD Bastion (http://www.woodentoyandgift.com/forums), where a number of these projects are hosted.

Xerxes, Tanen, Udjat: Scroll of Sesquipedalian
314th, Beta Aquilae, Trotsky: Homesick, I think

Is this all we're getting?  Here, I'll mark out the ones that have been guessed correctly:
Code: [Select]

Identify the following squadrons, ships, or places with their respective campaigns:
[list][*]Polaris, Philadelphia, Novaya Zemyla
[*]Luyten, Overseer, Gueverra
[*]Aquitaine, Arcturus, Nexus
[*]Stalingrad, Liberty, Katana
[*]Antares, Hawkeye, Munro
[*]314th, Beta Aquilae, Trotsky
[*]70th, Lexington, Hithsymtek
[/list]


And nobody has answered Axem's question yet, either. :)

Note: Some of these campaigns that have been mentioned are used more than once (i.e. a campaign that was in the slogan category is likely to be in the other category as well).

Most of those squadrons/ships/places came from campaigns I had either forgotten about or simply never heard of.

Luyten, Overseer, Gueverra: Homesick? You, sir, are correct.

Derek, Disco, Different Dimensions: JAD. I'll let Axem do this one, as I have not played Just Another Day yet.

If you guys forget or don't know, check websites, forums, release threads, etc. to find the information. That's where I got most of it. Most of these trivia questions are found at either major campaign forums/webpages or at the Game Warden Hosted forums.

And maybe he'd recognised that one before reading nuclear1's post and was just posting to say he knew.

You get a lot of repetition on this sort of thread. Don't single out anyone for simply posting an answer. They may not have read the other posts before replying preceisely because that spoils the fun for them.

:nod: Pretty much what I wanted to say. I only etched out the already-guessed answers down there for the people who have already guessed and just want to check their progress. If people want to look at the top list and guess from there, they can go for it.
Title: Freespace Campaign Trivia
Post by: Nuclear1 on July 30, 2005, 06:33:27 pm
Alright, guys, come on, only a few more to guess! I'll have a new set of questions, in a different format then the first one.
Code: [Select]

[list][*]Polaris, Philadelphia, Novaya Zemyla
[*]Aquitaine, Arcturus, Nexus
[*]Stalingrad, Liberty, Katana
[*]Antares, Hawkeye, Munro
[/list]


We're getting close to the end here, so I'll start giving some clues.

Campaign 1 (Polaris, Philadelphia, Novaya Zemyla) includes a ship that is very significant in the designer's other major campaign, which is hosted here at HLP. (Look at Goober's post in you need some more hints)

Parts of Campaign 2 (Aquitaine, Arcturus, Nexus) take place at a testing facility in the Epsilon Pegasi region of the galaxy, and then shifts to the Arcturus system from the climax of this first chapter.

Campaign 3 (Stalingrad, Liberty, Katana) takes place at the time of the NTF Rebellion. The player follows a Deimos-class corvette through its operations, has access to new technology such as the Katana, and fights some of the most fierce battles of the NTF Rebellion.

Campaign 4 (Antares, Hawkeye, Munro) takes place after the Hades Rebellion of 2335. This project is hosted over at Game Warden (http://www.game-warden.com/forum).

meh, i only see one NTF campaign around here so... :nervous:
Title: Freespace Campaign Trivia
Post by: Nuclear1 on July 30, 2005, 10:18:22 pm
There is more than one NTF campaign here. It doesn't have to say Neo-Terra or NTF in the name anywhere, or even in the description. It's like I said: check websites, release threads, open up FRED and poke through missions, or check siggies. Trust me, you'll find your answers easily enough.

I thought for sure the Katana was used in the NTV demo...

Post by: Nuclear1 on July 31, 2005, 01:51:07 pm
It was? Well, I suppose I'm looking for the one with the NTCv Stalingrad and the NTD Liberty in it as well.

Oops, I said something. :nervous:

Well, I could have been mistaken too.

Anyway, the NTD Liberty pinpoints it as LM. :p
