I, the greatest Ares and EV/O Pilot in the Grand History of the Universe, known as spacecowboy to the Ambrosia Webboards and El Lobo to fellow pilots, formally issue this challenge to all reading this:
Make a single-mission plugin, with the mission being both single-player and net. Post them on the Add-On Files website.
The non-participants (as well as the participants) will download these files and then rate them on a scale of one to ten overall. Participants should download, but cannot judge.
Kudos and karma to the winner, and may the best editor win.
P.S. I've got a head-start on y'all, I just now posted my plugin, called Star Wars. Should be up in a few days.

"Only In America/Where We Dream In Red White & Blue/Only In America/Where We Dream As Big As We Want To/Only In America/"
-- Brooks & Dunn, "Only In America"

Suddenly, the little scoutship disappeared and then reappeared right behind the alien warfleet. The gravitic ship's captain hailed the armada. "You are going to be destroyed, but I will give you a choice as to how you want to spend eternity: big pieces, little pieces, or quarks?"
Dead silence.
"Quarks it is, then."

I'm in, as long as enough people join to make this contest worthwhile. I have SETR gathering dust on the shelves of my HD, may as well take it for a spin...

I wonder what Patrick's done with Duality by now, that would make a great entry.

Anyway, I might join, Gaitori Empire would be somewhat "amusing" and I have a bunch of other ideas.

A Single-player single level which also runs on the Net? That's fairly restrictive, wouldn't you say?

And incidentally, please post your scenario description here Spacecowboy, as they are currently being stripped from uploaded scenarios.

I assume that ship quantities can be changed for the Net Scenario - I mean, we do have to compensate for the human in place of a computer. Alternatively, we could use large numbers of neutral ships... but what's the fun in that?

For those of you who have not been watching the news, the Pentagon has a 150-foot-wide hole in the South side, and the World Trade Center is no more.
Both are due to terrorist attacks.
We are currently unsure to whom this is due.
The WTC was operating at capacity, meaning there were approximately 60,000 souls in the buildings at the time of the attack.
There is an unconfirmed count of 34 dead due to the Pentagon attack.
Although I am usually not a very religious fellow, I feel I must refer you to the 23rd Psalm:
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His Name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I will fear no Evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodnes and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."
God Bless Us All, and God Bless America.

Yes that is very sad and terrible indeed...

Seeing as I have no net mission experience, would someone test out the new mission in this before I put in on the add-ons page? It should be here [url="http://"http://homepage.mac.com/brookeview2/.cv/brookeview2/Public/Scenario%20Contest-binhex.hqx"]http://homepage.mac....test-binhex.hqx[/url]

Sorry, Brookeview, but I don't play net scenarios either. All my scenario description is is this: This plug-in, 'Star Wars', is a 'Space Race: the Musical'-type scenario, for both single-player and net play, and is my contribution to the Scenario Contest. Have fun!

sorry for the double post. However, I'd really like to know why I keep uploading my scenario and it never appears on the add-ons page. I've uploaded that thing about five times over the course of over a week, and it's never appeared.

It is not automated. You have to bug someone (a mod I think) enough so that they post it.
My last thing took about two weeks before it finally went up there.

Hey, brookeview, I keep trying to register with iTools, but it won't let me. Somebody on the Mac boards said that my copy of AOL 5.0 is too old and I need to get ahold of IEx 5.0. I tried the IEx site, and they don't have anything for Mac. I seem to be stuck on 1 Infinity Loop. Help!

Being born in North Carolina, and currently living in Florida, pretty much anybody above the latitude (or altitude and azimuth) of my birth is a Yankee. Posted Image

You'll have to post the description you want for the file here, since the add-ons are still playing up.
