I think Maeg is the project leader, as well as the admin behind it.

Either way a leader has to be decided and this project pushed off before it starts to stagnate and stall....:nervous:

FS Upgrade plot vote. UPDATE: Choosing the jury!
[color=66ff00]Ok the week is up and it seems we have a fairly clear majority in favour of the jury option so we'll go with it.

Please nominate yourself or forward members names who you think would make good board candidates. I think it would be best if they were reasonably able modders and had good writing skills, this will give the project a plot 'council' who will be able to give good criticism to the submitted plot. Good english skills are a must for communication and critical appraisal of the submitted stories so bear that in mind if you intend to nominate yourself. You will also need an appropriate amount of free time.

The jury will be made up of ten people (another ten eh? ;) ) voted by from all the candidates by the community. I will not nominate myself for this at present, I do not wish for people to think that I'm in sole control of the whole shebang, I will basically orchestrate the jury's effort if needed and send them the plots for appraisal. This is a community effort, you guys make it happen not just a few select people. This will go on for one week unless the community makes it clear that the jury can be chosen in a shorter time.

Remember, be realistic, you may have to read through quite a few plot ideas and make notes and/or suggestions so you will need to have the time to do this. :nod:

Umm, ok, I uhh.. nominat... no, volounteer myself to be nominated. ;)

Really, I have bundles of freetime (when it intrests me, and yes, this does), I work for 8 different campaigns, so I've seen myshare of plots and storylines in developement, and I know I can at least write a bit (if you want to how well, ask Turnsky, Analazon, or uh, Raptor :) ). Aaand, I lost my virginity to my red freespace disc (;7)

Soo, do what you will...

I nominate myself! :D

I have some free time to read storylines, and I know a good story when I see it.


BTW, a suggestion, Maeg, judges should not be allowed to pass a vote on any of their storylines ;)

Looks like we have 2 vict...urrr..Juries ;)
You sure you want ten juries tho? It's quite a large number if you consider the number of people on the board who are free with enough time to help :/

*raises hand*

Well, since I am free for another 6 weeks 24/7 I think I can manage to dump this on top of my other work. I have the FREDding skillz to (if needed) FRED some of the missions too and consider myself to be at least a reasonable plot writer (Just wrote myself an entire campaign plot that spans over entire decades :p)...

And I agree with UT, one should not be allowed to vote on their own plot ideas.

[color=66ff00]No worries Ms. T, that's a no brainer.

Are you not interested singh? I've heard you're quite a proficient writer. Also, I wouldn't be too worried about trying to get ten jury members, looks like the position is quite attractive. :nod:

I still think that it shouldn't be only a jury that will just vote on plots choosing one of em, but a team that choose the best base to work on, bringing it to perfection, in a teamproject that will use contributes and suggestions from all the community and the submitted plots.
well the people I'd like to see in this team (I don't know their disponibility) are IceFire, Bobbau, venom, aldo, karajoma, maeglamor, sandwich, blackwolf, galactic emperor, (me:rolleyes:..althought I admit I haven't much time), mikhael...probably others that I forgot..and there are many I simply don't know (since I haven't much followed other campaigns, nodewars and other stuffs).... note that I'm not aiming at people who will write the plot, just people who can have the "right ideas", discuss about them, make the best choices, in order to provide the plot with the most intriguing and involving story,with the right level of suspense,etc etc..

Umm....i'm afraid not. Mostly because i dont have the time and I dont exactly have FREDding skills either (only done 2 missions to date). However, I will be submitting a detailed plotline to any jury that will be established, in hopes of having it accepted :D

I don't think heavy FREDding skills are needed. Just a knowledge of what is and isn't possible and an eye for a good storyline :)

But only if those individuals are going to be the ones to work (fred) on it. or at least be the ones to string them together to make one coherent plotline.

   Should be One team and not sub-teams.... there should be a clear vision of where this is beginning and how it should end. All teh rest is just cream in the Oreo... Still important but you need to tie it all together!:nod:
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !
