Through The Iron Gate
on: February 25, 2006, 11:06:06 am
Dont know if anyone here remembers me but I was once known as Guardian in the Freespace 2 universe, some may know me as TCS-Thorn as well.  I was in TCA until I discovered they were cheating in Squad Wars.  During my time in Freespace 2 I made some missions and one of them was actually validated by Volition and it was called Through The Iron Gate.  I have lost this file because of a harddrive crashes some time ago.  I was wondering if anyone had the map pack that was validated by Volition containing Through The Iron Gate.  If so please let me know, it feels like I have lost my child since I can no longer find this mission.

Thx

You may have however my name was Guardian or TCA-Guardian or TCS-Thorn :p
I played SquadWars and also had a website titled Bandits Incoming that was made for Squadwars.  The site basically reported on the squads in Squadwars.

I have been playing FS2 with friends the past week or so for the first time in years.  Just wish the old Lobby was still up :)

I do remember playing a game once with someone who had a xxx-Thorn username. Can't remember what the letters were but TCS does sound right :)

WOW WOW WOW

That used to be the site of Bandits Incoming and then I changed it over to Ellis Station for a campaign for FS2. 
Those are the original graphics I made for the site :p
If I remember correctly you came on board but then I had to leave and you took over.

I wish I still had all my files from the 95% completed campaign called Without Remorse

After you left it was Charger and me.  Charger worked on the mission scripts and I did the background, mission briefings and the website.  We tried to get FREDers but none of them stuck around very long.  The whole thing fell apart after 9/11 when Charger was re-assigned (he's in the US Navy) from Diego Garcia (where he had a lot of spare computer time) to an aircraft carrier (where he couldn't depend on even getting regular email). 

Good seeing you back.  Gonna hang around for awhile? :nod:

Most definately going to hang around for awhile.  Mostly to follow the SCP and to download a campaign here and there to play.
Me and some old Freespace 2 friends are starting to get back into this game.  It has been a long time and we are enjoying every minute of it.

Then welcome back. :D

Roanoke - over the years, I got 5 or 6 offers to help on the Ellis email account.  For the most part, I just told them that Ellis was defunct and pointed them to HLP.  A couple of times, I let the offerer's enthusiasm get me ready to start it up again but each time, the offerer disappeared.  It's gotten me a bit gun shy.  So, normally I'd just say "thanks but no thanks" (if that was an offer?).  Thinking about it now, tho, I really wouldn't mind starting it up again - provided there were several people looking to join.  I showed Karajorma the mission scripts a couple of years ago and we agreed that they were un-FREDable (and not all that good, anyway).  Starting it up would mean a near total re-write of the plot... Ellis was intended to be the first campaign in the "Ellis Universe", an 8-to-10 mission prolog, but it was basically good guys vs (well equiped) pirates. 

As I said, if there's enough interest, I could start it up again.  Otherwise, I'm just gonna let it lie. ;)

They were unFREDable then. I don't remember enough about them to say if they are unFREDable now.

That said I'm not getting dragged in till I've finished MG at least :D

Chicken  :p

IIRC, they were un-FREDable because Charger concentrated on fleet actions, sometimes leaving Alpha 1 with nothing to do at all.  Like I said, the scripts would have to be re-done.
