I thought of making a TC. So I made a mental list of all I had going for my new project:
-EVONE, somehow still working (kind of) after the liscense sgould have expired.
-NovaTools
-Mission Computer
-Nova
-Lots of time to waste
Then I made a list of what I don't have:
-Motivation
-Outside support
-Significant knowledge of the complexities of Nova development
-3D skills
-Patience
-Good, original ideas
-Writing skills
So I decided to scrap the project. But it still lives on though, I am trying to figure out how to create missions and systems. Wish me luck.

If I want to win, I'd better start now:

I'm starting something. You saw here first. When it will be released (or scrapped) you'll know it has been started now because of this post. I won't tell you what it is, what scope it is, or whatever about it because I don't know it myself (but you're not supposed to know it). But I'm working on it. At my pace. It will stay alive 'cause I'll never get discouraged, and the progress will just slow down in times of despair, possibly down to one word of planet dësc a day. I'm keeping the project in a dozen places, including backup.evula.net so that it cannot die, and I've setup all my computers, my family, and my watch to remind me about it everyday so that it cannot die. The soonest possible release date is around 2012, and it's likely to slip. But it won't be able to vaporise, even if I die: I've a chain of 6,000,000,000 ordered people who are to take the project should the previous guy in the chain die (I'm the number 0). Have a nice day.

And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for, anyway?

Maybe we should try to do someting constructive, like seeing who can build and release a TC the fastest.

2 systems, 5 ships, a mission...

I vote for that! I'd better dig up that maelstrom for EV total conversion I was working on and finnish it. Maybe start another one thats really REALLY small, one system, one ship, one planet, one mission, one dull line of ones. If lots of people do this somebody can wack them all together and make one whole TC. I'm off to start a on
a small TC.

EDIT-Lets make this even better. Who can build and release a larger TC the fastes. So size counts just as much as time. That would be really cool

I'm anouncing a NEW TC! it will have 9 systems (sort of) four ships, two weapons, and if I'm lucky ten missions. Oh yeah, two sounds for the weapons that are borrowed from Ares. It will hopefully be released tomorrow. this isn't a joke. Its half done already.

Thats pretty lame. Try again.

Is this a new term or can I take credit for having made it up?
