fs2 is that cannon all the campaigns follow they own path but i think derelict is best after Capella campaigns

But what if Woo doesn't? Or what if Goob likes Reciprocity, or LT likes his own mod, or I think stryke is gay?

Nope.  It would pretty much invalidate everything I've worked on for the Reci backstory.

It would screw up a lot of peoples "Return of the Shivans" as well if they'd already returned once for Derelict.

No.  Canon should not and cannot be expanded.  We are not the creators of the universe, nor to we hold any of the rights to the story, code, images, logos, etc, etc, etc.  Only those with those rights can and should dictate canon.  That means Volition and *shudder* Interplay have sole domain over canon.

Everything from the TV project to Derlict are fan created, and should remain so until Volition or *shudder* Interplay say otherwise.  There are some lines we cannot cross.

Amen.  My thoughts exactly.

If you want to reference an earlier campaign, do so if you want (and with the agreement of those being referenced).  But don't force anyone else to do the same.

Cannon to me is FS1/Silent Threat/FS2 + any possible Future V product, that's it...


   As for alternate cannons? Each campaign out there already is. They don't need to be validated by a new term. I do think it would be neat in the future with willing people to have props shown to previous campaigns and tie them in to later ones with some storylines (that way we can have a truly LIVING FS history). While not mandatory, I do thik it's a neat idea. It would be up to each future mod team if they want to pick up any past storylines/events and expand on them (with permission if it was from a user campaign,  but fair game is it was a FS1/FS2 game thread no one has explored yet)... Lets see how creative people can get story wise (I enjoy good missions as well as new "toys")

Plus I don't think I could stay in teh box of "cannon" material.  What grabs me the most is alternate interpretations of teh past, or Cross-genre games.
