Sounds fair enough. Especially if it's for the overall good of the site.

We are letting them - we can't and aren't forbidding anyone from making new campaigns. But your second statement can and often is false - projects started outside the HLP hosting umbrella can still pull staffers out from already-progressing projects. And, if we consider the new campaign leaders as part of the community (I do), then they are devoting their own time to a separate endeavour and not helping what's already established. Thanks for your support, though.

That Classifieds thing? "Skills needed / Skills Offered"? The PHP implementation I originally looked at sucked and was crap. :p

We'll be looking into alternatives over the next few, errr... periods of time. ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Not always, I wrote the RR story over two days, alone. After it is done, only minor modifications are to be done in the story.

I said SOME not ALL. There is a difference.

Campaigns using existing ships with only a few adjustments will naturally be done in a short space of time.

Next look at Inferno, DOTA and The Swarm War. The latter uses NO existing ships (other than a few of gevettar Lars' models that DOTA is also using) and thus has taken and will take a long time.

I meant the story can be done easily. It has no importance how many new ships might act in the campaign.

Depends how much thought you put into the plotline. The plotline for TMA/SoR ended up the size of a small novella cause I wanted to plan out every single part of the plot so I could be sure there were no plot holes.

Plot of Reci has effectively taken 2 years to get to it's current state.... and even then, it's only the first 10-15 missions that are definte.  the plot should be the hardest thing you do - because it's the most important.  

Sure, it's piss-easy to think up a scenario (I come up with about 5 every day wen I'm especially bored or on the train), but it's far harder to make it into a cohesive storyline.

I agree with you there Aldo. It's taken me about 2 years to get TMA right. Admittedly maybe I should have done that right at the start but even so taking my time prevented TMA from being a standard Bosch returns, lets fight shivans style campaign.

Actually.. now that I think about it, if NW were to fall, and my hard drive were to crash, and everyone of my participating staffies were to have simultaneous hard drive crashes, I'd be ****ed.
