I'm unstickying this thread since Skippy seems to have disappeared.  Campaign managers will probably have better luck posting their campaigns on the FS wiki.

Any idea where he went?

[Polpolion]

Any idea where he went?

A mysterious place called real life. Don't ask about that dreaded place around here, for we HLPers know little about such things.

[Clawandfang]

Seems a little strange for him to disappear suddenly like that mind. Ah... I'm having rather morbid thoughts now...

[Mobius]

He's on MSN...

[starlord]

Did he preserve all campaigns from the volition watch archives? Anyone knows that?

[Mobius]

Why don't you ask him directly?

[starlord]

From what you're saying, he's MIA...

[TopAce]

From HLP, yes, but as Mobius said, he's still on MSN.

[Mobius]

He's on MSN every day, contacting him shouldn't be difficult.

[Clawandfang]

Okay... contact him then.

[Akalabeth Angel]

Okay... contact him then.

     I think what they're suggesting is that you contact him (or starlord, since you're the ones with inquiries). His posts list his email on the sidebar, I'm guessing this is his address for MSN as well.

[Mobius]

The kissifrot one, that's it.

EDIT: According to his MSN personal message(in French), he will be away until 03/25(included).

Ok, my FRED skills have improved and I have started work on a new Campaign:

FreeSpace: Exodus

The idea:

5 Weeks after the Bastion sealed off capella, something happened. The Shivans restablized the Jump nodes, opening the door for a third Shivan Incurrsion. A full assault on the GTVA while they were already weakened crippled them. Almost all systems have fallen, the casualty count is in the tens of Billions. Mankind and the Vasuden race are on the edge of extinction. This takes place In mankinds last star system. All differences must be put aside for there to be any hope of defeating the Shivans. Here, our hope lies. And here, we will make our stand.

The planned number of missions is 20-ish, but i hope to have around 30. There is no logo, but I am trying to make one. There is no website either.

Release date: Dont know quite yet, it used to be june 24rth, but sounds like to much to do, so ill hope to just have a demo-type thing out by then.

I have had the idea for a week or 2, but just started FREDing recently.

Um... What do you think? Is this a decent idea at all? Or one of the stupidist you've heard?

Release date: Dont know quite yet, ill try to get it out before summer vacation at my school(June 24th i believe)

The rest is fine, albeit a bit unoriginal, except for this bit. 20-30 missions in 2 months? That's impossible, simply impossible.

    Hmmn, release schedule as Snail said might be a bit tight. Especially if you're still at school? 20 missions in two months is doable with a vacation, though you'll spend your whole day in front of the computer . It also depends on how complex/polished your missions are . . . personally I'm a huge perfectionist so I spend like 2-3 days per mission. It can get quite tedious at times.
    As far as ideas go, it may not be the most original in general but I've yet to play any Freespace campaign with that story line. The idea certainly has potential, but it might be hard to do a good story. I don't know. If you want something more character driven, you could always have flashback missions, like the main character is reliving the trauma of an earlier failure. That sort of stuff is always cool, I think anyway. Though that would probably up your mission count

[Jeff Vader]

The plot indeed sounds a bit cliché-ish. And the setting is so hopeless that there can't be a happy ending without some ubersuperhero one-minute solution. Then again, if the ending is to be unhappy, it would be interesting.

And yeah. 20-30 missions does not equal to two months. Thinking about the entire plot, doing the missions, redoing the missions, adding stuff, removing stuff, doing bugtesting, hammering the missions so that they go together with the intended plot, breaking down, yelling at your computer, sacrificing items to the Demon of Creativity... al of that takes time. And patience. And motivation. And that is why I will never make a campaign.

Same here.  I got maybe 2/3 through making the first mission, then I pretty much gave up for SimCity 4 .
