Altering the Multiplayer campaign
After some heated discussion on IRC, I decided to post this vote. The issue is: Should it be possible for a player to play the role of Snipes?
If I'm just aching this can't go on
I came from chasing dreams to feel alone
There must be changes, miss to feel strong
I really need lifе to touch me

I guess I wouldn't argue with it being POSSIBLE for a couple people playing through the multi-player campaign to decide to do it that way.

I don't think it's right though, as he is an NPC.

[23:44] <Zacam> There would have to be a second wing.

A second wing in Into the Lions Den.

Maybe we should add wings in all the other missions.

In fact, maybe we should do whatever the **** we want.

...

Anyone sensible knows this isn't even up for discussion.

The fact it's a poll is sad.

With that logic, both Xinny and Zero shouldn't be playable either. They are both NPCs as well, aren't they?

I don't think that the mission(s) should be changed. People don't play multiplayer for the plot...

[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

Re: Altering the Multiplayer campaign
BlackDove: You quoted me on saying "There would be a second wing" but then did not qjuote me on saying "That is'nt going to happen".

Stick with the facts, shall we?

And this conversation started over "Rebels and Renegades" and me asking about changing the "player-start" from defaulting to Alpha 2.

Granted, is was a bad idea even THINKING of changing Snipes to another ship for messaging purposes.

Hades: Those two may be NPC's but they are not plot integral to the story line NPC's in the same way Snipes is. And wether or not people play MP CoOp for the plot or not, the plot is still there.

Also, because there may be some confusion here, I'd like to clarify the following: I am not, nor have I ever been, talking about ANY of the CoOp missions in the multi-mission-pack.vp. I am only talking about the ported SP to 4 Player Multi that are in the MediaVP's that allow the SP Campaign to be played by (up to) 4 players.
