I was thinking the stories arc should follow the same arc that "the hero's journey" had established. I like what you did dndfreak but there are a few things I see that just wont work here and there such as an interplanetary war? haha I'm sure if humans travel the stars and they find a hostile planet they will just move on... unless the planet is REALLY needed. If the human race is dying out and they need to find a new planet or something like... I'm so down to write a kick ass story... lol lets do this!!
I have taken some game design classes in college... and I was taught that the best way to come up with a story for a game... is to develop the world in which the game will take place first.
None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with you. You're locked up in here with me.

Well I did too with that bg monologue but the thing is that this game is supposed to allow for user generated content- aka the players can make up their own worlds. I went as far as you can safely go and i did the universes thing to allow for as much creativity as possible. Plus, the story starts with the fuel crisis for added relativity 
edit: im not sure what that last sentence had to do with anything. I'm tired; just leave it alone.

Where are you getting this idea of user-generated content from?

I thought the level editor was a means to overcome the disparities between TGF and MMF amongst ourselves.

Yes, the level editor is to allow those who don't have MMF2 to make level environments for the game. Not a game that people will be downloading levels for, just for people to make the pre-existing levels.

I know but still custom content from anyone at tdc. That's a lot of creative juice and I supplied the pitcher.

It seems that most of the progress on this project is the progress of us learning that we now know who we hate. I would rather like progress on the game, instead of messed up friendships. Guys let's build a bridge together, and get over it. I think we're having little member input because we'll all just fight over it.

true, but not entirely. Nothings getting done bc no ones making a decision. Constructive criticism is fine but there comes a time when we cant keep switching everything around. If no one else is submitting anything, lets select from what we've got in the hopes that they'll be motivated to improve upon it.

Most of the conflict spawned from this story discussion, which is probably part of the reason Lambert asked we stop it and move to something else

I know that but conflict is needed for progress to ensue, otherwise this might as well be a one-man team. The mix of ideas is what makes it a community project.

You're all right, somewhere, somehow. So guess what I'm gonna do? Imma lock this topic for awhile, but not forever! Oh no, I've got another topic waiting for you. You'll see...
