I hereby proclaim April the 4th to be the international Freespace celebration day!
The reasons we should be greatful for Freespace? I think we should ponder the words of a man so taken by the game he was willing to destroy a community for the ability to make a sequel:
Let me assure you of one thing that you can go to sleep with tonite. I have FULL intentions of getting this license. If I DO get it, you and your teenny leetle friends on your Ferrous Oxide project, are effectively, shutdown because I don't piss around when it comes to IP properties. You would do well to ask around. I've sued publishers for less and I have attorneys around the world, literally on speed dial.
Now, I will leave you with that thought, as I retire for the evening.
You will eventually come to regret this day. Mark my words.

Every bloody morning it's like this. You're just wandering about, putting off work for half an hour, and zzzzzeewwwwww-fssschhhht! Somebody beams you in the eye. Typical. Honestly, it's getting to the point where I can't go out the house without wearing 5 inches of compressed molybdenum armour on top of my raincoat. and that ****'s heavy, y'know. Wearing 12 tonnes of the stuff isn't good for your posture or anything.
Anyways, pass me the ointment. Aaah, that's better.

I completely know what you mean.
Kids these days. No respect for the old war relics. >..>
Alrighty, well I better not have to get the First Aid kit out again anytime soon. Or I'll be doing some beaming myself. =.=

Space crack anyone?

You keep your crack to yourself, sunshine.
-
So... wrong...
-
w00t for FS Day! :yes: :yes: :yes:
-
*Breaks out the Bosch Beer...
Partay!!!
-
Cheers, Happy Freespace Day! Do we get a day off? ;)
-
i think we should play a game of tag with Mr. Smart
a game where we're it, and the only place we can tag him is 4 inches up his butthole, and the only things we can tag him with are cacti and pineapples
and we can let Bschott in on the fun too
we'll call it the Open Tag Project
-
Yay, for the words of Free and space. :p
-
Komense primery kor incershon!
-
Happy Freespace Day!
Break out the Space Crack, the Bosch Beer, and let the Headz Hunt begin!
:headz:
-
We should be celebrating August 22 instead:

What's Freespace?
-
Uh, who's the idiot in the quote in the first post?
And I'll celebrate by spreading news of the Freespace torrent far and wide!
-
*gets out mini beam rifle designed to cut off headz* who's first?
[EDIT] dammit, 3 people posted right when i was typing.
-
April 4th, eh? Sounds good - put it on the calendar! Update the Wikipedia!! Heck, I envision that one day, Google themselves will have a Google Doodle (http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html) for Freespace on this date!!!
-
This should be an international holiday.
-
Huzzah, hand me a Bosch beer!!
(out of curiousity, why April 4?)
-
So do we build a Freespace tree or something? Should there be cake or turkey with all the stuffings? Maybe fireworks, definetly fireworks.
Someone render some FS style fireworks already!

where did that quote come from?
Ferrous Oxide is the Ferrium project, right?
-
Yes. Even though it is a completely different game, we will be able to make a mod of it for FS2 (assuming it is ever completed).
-
Derek Smart's birthday should not be celebrated in any way even if it's just by having a holiday fall on the same day. April 4th should be a day of mourning for humanity until dear Derek's death. I propose we make FS1's release date the official Freespace day, or how about the day we got the source code. ;7
-
Y'know, maybe it shouldn't be so damn close to April 1st, previous experience has shown us the forums can be quite fux0red for the first few days of April... :nervous:
-
It was more a joke than anything else simply because it was his birthday. :nod:
If we were to have an official FS holiday I think it should probably be on the game's offical release date or whenever the source was released.
-
After thinking about this for a while, I think I've got a better idea. Instead of it being on DS's birthday, how about something more appropriate, such as the day the game was officially released, or the day when they released the source code? :nod:

Looks like a photo finish on that one folks.
Maeglamor takes the cup! ;)

Uhm, I was merely doing to you what you were doing to redsniper (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39186.msg797242.html#msg797242). :p
-
I'm all for it, but on the day the source was released. Then we can come up with arbitrary foods and beverages to celebrate it, and make available a paper cut-fold-and-paste thingie (how do you call them in english anyway?) of an Orion to act as christmas tree equivalent, and everyone shall rejoice.
-
Damn, I hoped you wouldn't notice that.

Heehee. ;7

Great minds think alike, or Irishmen must copy great ideas from others? :nervous: You decide.
Awww, I'm just kidding...

Yeah, I heard Ulysses was totally plagiarized.

Praise the lord and pass the Helios. :D

Stupid Question:
Where can I get Bosh-beer?
Oh, I'm living in germany...
