Ambrosia Software Web Board: Two TSs? - Ambrosia Software Web Board

Posted 06 March 2008 - 10:11 PM

To be honest, in this post, I was actually asking about the TS that would run after "The Tree of Life," assuming that people still want to do two. Avatara pointed out that discussing both in Pippin's topic might create confusion; hence, the creation of this topic.

First, do people want to try running two TSs?
Second, if so, what should the plot of the TS that follows "The Tree of Life" be?

I have only a few random ideas on this one—one of which involves a flood, another involves a takeoff of Terminator, etc. (note that I said they were random ).

Well, it has since been pointed out to me that the idea might end up being a parody and something similar has been done before, but here goes.

The game clearly indicates that the Undine have some sort of affinity with time, although I can't say that I understand its exact nature.
Using this ability, the Undine send a "terminator" (possibly just an Undine, some sort of super-Undine, or some sort of super golem) back in time to kill Alaric.
The group must travel back and protect him. (One twist to this would be that the group is being chased, rather than doing the chasing.)

I can't say that I know how good it would be. It was just a random idea, probably inspired by the fact that I recently rewatched the movies.


I'm somewhat disappointed. It seems that people are reluctant to contribute their ideas for future TSs .

oooooh

interesting
I think that would be fun to do


Judgment Day was my FAVORITE movie ever when I was younger. As soon as it came out and for quite a few years. I saw the first Terminator like once and haven't bothered to see the 3rd. I heard it's nothing special.

I've been wondering what would happen if all the characters (even the enemies) were just normal people with just low-mid skills in fighting.

I'm taking a history course this semester and I recently began reading about the revolution (all of it). The main meeting plave for the patriots were taverns. There they would discuss politics and plans.
Maybe we could have something like that situation, where there's an opressive force on the town or city and a resistence starts to form. Making all this in the Cythera world would be very interesting to me.

Actually, we tried a TS that would have involved politics, a war between mages and non-mages, "witch hunts," and several other ideas that I forget. Everyone disappeared and the topic took about a year to grind slowly to an end: the ill-fated Witch Hunt. (To be honest, I consider this to be the worst TS that I have participated in, largely because of its semi-death.)

I suppose something like it might be worth another try if enough people are interested and participate.

(Somewhat off-topic, but I enjoy Terminator 3 more than I do Terminator, although I agree that Terminator 2 was the best.)


Another random idea involves the actual members finding themselves in the TS-verse among the games characters and those they themselves have created. (It has been pointed out to me that this idea would probably be better off outside the official continuity, however.)

It looks to me as if not very many people are interested in participating in TSs right, and I fear the number will only drop unless one or more is started soon.

this would be interesting
it would be funny if the players could somehow use their hacking skills to cheat, creating mass confusion to the little cythera people.

P.S.

T2 FTW!!!

Hey Wizard... There's a space between "Two" and "Jacks", you know that right?

*gasp* Two Jacks, are you sure you have only one user account? When I was first making that list, I distinctly remembered to check your name to see if it was two words or one. . . oh well, my eyes must have tricked me. I've fixed it in both posts.

That's so funny, because as I was making the list the second time, I was surprised by the number of users who had a one-word name for two words.

OK so what are we doing here?

making new characters?

should I be on the lookout for new character profiles on the character info thread?

[it helps me to see other characters' profiles before I make my own, that way I can make sure mine isn't too similar to anyone else's cuz that's no fun ]

Muse, I may be mistaken, but I think you're thinking about the wrong TS. This TS is set in the "regular" time using our usual characters. The TS being discussed in Pippin's topic is the one set in a different time period and for which people plan to make new characters. (Of course, if you wish, you may make a new one for this one as well .)


By the way, I will start this TS sometime today, so if you are interested in joining just keep an eye on the board.
