Title: Champagne Poll
Post by: Snail on August 02, 2007, 01:46:21 pm
A huge poll rating thing to see which campaigns are the most popular for the community. If I missed any campaigns, just shout, and I'll add them to the poll. This poll also is only-released campaigns, unreleased campaigns is another matter. It is also only FreeSpace 2 campaigns, since I don't know a good place to find a list of FreeSpace 1 campaigns. If you just give me a list I'll add them to the bottom of the poll.


poll locked for the time being

Hm...are we allowed to vote for our won campaigns? ;7


Eh..maby another type of poll is in order..to select just one seems..wrong...Especialyl since some campaign are completely different TYPES - horror, action, comedy..
Can you set it up so we can choose a few? Like 5?
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: 0rph3u5 on August 02, 2007, 01:58:43 pm
there is an FS2 "Raider wars"? Please check if that is not wrong reference to TBP campaign by IPA and others
EDIT: The Babylon Project? ain't that a TC?
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Jeff Vader on August 02, 2007, 02:01:24 pm
I agree with Trash about somehow organizing the campaigns at least into a few categories. It's not fair or even possible to compare  Transcend, Just Another Day and Derelict, for example.

Also, JAD3 is missing.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: NGTM-1R on August 02, 2007, 03:36:05 pm
I refuse to select just one.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Snail on August 02, 2007, 03:59:11 pm
's nothing I can do about it now. So pick one at random.

Get someone to make the bb code let me edit the amount of votes cast in the poll.

Eh? Didn't you see the "Maximum votes per user" box?

Title: Re: Campaign Poll

I didn't touch it, but now I can't touch it now. (I can't edit that value)
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: CP5670 on August 02, 2007, 05:06:46 pm
I increased it to 3. I think any more would defeat the point of the poll.

Thanks, CP, but shouldn't he who started the poll have that ability?
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: CP5670 on August 02, 2007, 05:14:49 pm
I suppose so. It may be an SMF issue or some setting might need to be changed on the admin end. I haven't created a poll here in ages and can't remember how it's supposed to work.

I hadn't even heard of some of those campaigns until now, by the way. :nervous:

Get a life.   :lol: lol , just kiddin  :p

I voted Derelict, INF:R1 and PI.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Snail on August 03, 2007, 11:17:52 am
I only voted for one. PI.

I will not vote until HomeSick is on that list. :P

It is, you reeetard.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: TrashMan on August 03, 2007, 11:24:02 am
What are TC's doing in that list anyway? :wtf:

FSPort? That's not a custom-made campaign! :wtf:

The problem I have with voting is trying to remeber which campaign is which. Tying the name with a few memories of the plot.  ;7
Altough it's unfair to vote (since I can't remeber exactly what campaign X was about at all) I still did... but under protest! :p
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Snail on August 03, 2007, 01:03:13 pm
TC's because I needed a bigger list. :P

The FSPort is a custom made campaign last time I checked? :confused:

The FSPort is a custom made campaign last time I checked? :confused:

It's a PORT..the story, mission, charachters, ships - none of that is original in any way. Sure, people made new ships.. sure, people modified files to be compatable with FS2..but it's in a whole different category.... like the Babylon project. Tehre should be a separate vote for TC's and ports...
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Snail on August 03, 2007, 03:11:09 pm
Well without the 'users' themselves, there would be no FSPort, so it's custom made campaign.


OH!! I JUST NOTICED!! I FORGOT TO ADD THE MAIN FREESPACE CAMPAIGN!!
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Hades on August 03, 2007, 03:12:48 pm
Homesick PI and Derelict. :P
Are my choices.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Jeff Vader on August 03, 2007, 03:19:40 pm
OH!! I JUST NOTICED!! I FORGOT TO ADD THE MAIN FREESPACE CAMPAIGN!!

Well, wouldn't it have worked if we had only voted for user-made campaigns? I mean, doesn't everyone play the main campaign first? I thought we were ranking all the great campaigns that fans have made for FreeSpace, trying to find out which of them are popular.

That would also question the presence of the FSPort. It is basically the main FS1 campaign, though it is in a way a 'custom made campaign' (cheers, GalacticEmperor).

I'd say that you should only include user-made stuff so that we'd see which of them are played and liked. We all played the main campaign and liked it.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Snail on August 03, 2007, 03:22:03 pm
I did not say anywhere that it was ONLY fan-made campaigns, did I?

But if you want me to rip it off and eat it fine.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Jeff Vader on August 03, 2007, 03:25:14 pm
Dude, just do what you want. I guess I misunderstood that part about which campaigns are included. My bad.

Your poll, your list, your decisions.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: CP5670 on August 03, 2007, 03:26:33 pm
I don't see much point in including the main campaign either. Everyone obviously liked that. Throw in some of the FSPort ones like Awakenings, Cardinal Spear and Destiny of Peace instead.

Oh, piss eggs. I totally forgot about those. I could have voted for at least Cardinal Spear. Dangit.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Mobius on August 04, 2007, 03:53:13 pm
You had an interesting idea, Snail, but I would like to have more than 3 options. I really enjoyed PI, Transcend and Derelict, for example, and I couldn't vote them.

Just played Awakenings and Cardinal spear....nice, but so many plot holes...or at least holes in canonicity (canoness? canon?)

Where is Into the Depths of Hell???  :hopping:


With that off the list, I gave its spot to the original JAD.

Also voted Derelict and Transcend.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll

ITDOH is there now.

ITDOH is there now.

that's hardly fair, the results will be biased because of the newer additions
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: TrashMan on August 05, 2007, 12:17:26 pm
The results were biased from the very begining. This thread is a mockery, but it doesn't matter anyway. :lol:
Title: Re: Campaign Poll

Oh whatever.

Now it's a champagne poll.
Title: Re: Campaign Poll
Post by: Deepstar on August 05, 2007, 01:04:04 pm
It's difficult, i enjoyed the most campaigns on this list and a few of them i never see before, and Boomerang was long time ago.

But i can only vote 3, then i vote them: Homesick, Sync and Derelict.

Title: Re: Champagne Poll
Post by: Snail on August 05, 2007, 01:06:11 pm
Since everyone thinks this is biased because of the new entries, does anyone here want me to restart the poll?

Um... yes, that would probably be a good option, if you're going to continue with this campaign poll issue.

The way I see it, we should all first work together in order to list every goddamn campaign that has been made, and AFTER that actually set the poll up, because it really screws things up, if new choices are added afterwards.

In the end, it's your poll so just decide what you want to do with it, chief.
Title: Re: Champagne Poll
Post by: Snail on August 05, 2007, 03:07:03 pm
So anything else you can think of?

Oh, I'm going to lock the poll for now.
Title: Re: Champagne Poll
Post by: Jeff Vader on August 05, 2007, 03:16:10 pm
Rain on Ribos 4, Incursion, Return to Sol, Phantoms/Echo Gate. Those for starters. Can't think of anything else. Let's see if other people can come up with something.

Wait... are we listing TBP stuff too? That would complicate matters.

SPLIT....campaigns.....into...categories.

Make separate polls if need be! I can't compare JAD with Transcend!
Title: Re: Champagne Poll
Post by: Snail on August 05, 2007, 04:04:41 pm
Vote 1: Gameplay
Vote 2: Atmosphere
Vote 3: Mods

Whatever.
Title: Re: Champagne Poll
Post by: TrashMan on August 05, 2007, 04:22:53 pm
I was thinking more something along the lines of:


ORIGINAL - only original storeis/missions
1) Serious - thinks like Homesick, ROR4, PI, ITHOV, ITDOH, etc...
2) Whacky - things like Deus Ex Machina, JAD

NON-ORIGINAL:
FS Port, FS2, Silent threat, etc...
