    How's everyones time travel mission going?
    Haha, it went in the bin... I had a fun story totally planned out. But RL and the optional storyline in csg2 was taking up so much time, that I've given up creating a new story.

    Not fast enough :(. This would be so much easier if I got fired... Would have loads of spare time to work on it then! Much quicker now the foundry is fixed though :). Yours coming along as planned?

    Now why do you want to get fired? :eek: Who will pay the bills then?? :P

    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    Doing well. Just a few tweeks and some polishing and it should be done!

    I can take up grinding. I can use dilithium to pay rent right?

    :confused: Im not sure, every time I make progress with the maps, the baby plays up and It throws me off, but as soon as those are done I would say a few hours at the most to do the Dialogue, about 80% is clever usage of Copied Memory Alpha Material... mostly optional within game of course!

    The real irony is I have the first part to my own Time Travel Series finished already, but I dont want to release it without finishing the series first, or it would take a year easily for the player to be able to finish it! :(

    Doctor Chronos and his time ghosts.

    Two Weeks.

    I think I finally have a handle on how the whole thing fits together forwards, backwards and sideways, with a kooky, closed loop that doesn't trap any characters permanently lost.

    Time Travel is fun.
    Cartoons are fun.

    Looking forward to everyone else's time travel stories, and hope you've all been having as much fun writing yours as I have been having writing mine.

    And probably the only teaser image I will give

    Doctor Chronos !

    Peace, Love and Temporal Physics

    I haven't noticed this, but I tend to leave the snap features turned off. When I copied the brothel in Sins of the Fathers, which has a lot of small set decoration pieces, they seemed to have all stayed in place in the copy.

    Perhaps if you turned off both of the snap settings before pasting your map this won't happen. It's worth a try.

    ...Good point, shame no one made it until AFTER I edited over 50 items! :rolleyes:

    I posted this in the entries thread just now:
    Hi Authors,

    As a reminder, the deadline/publish date for your missions is tomorrow, Wednesday, October 16th at 10am PDT. Please do not publish them until 10am PDT tomorrow, or, as close as you can get to that time (i.e. if you have to work at 7am PDT tomorrow, publish it before you leave for work, or tonight, or whenever :) Just as late as possible, but by 10am PDT tomorrow.)

    Also, please remember that you need to reply to this thread with its information in the format lasted in the OP (this needs to be filled out completely by the due date/ time for your mission to be considered. If I can't find your mission published in-game tomorrow around 10am PDT, I won't be able to add it to the voting thread.).

    Thanks, and good luck! :)
    Sorry everyone but I am with-drawing my application to this competition so I can prepare for my deployment.

    Sorry to hear, ricky! Stay safe! We'll see you when you get back :)

    Cheers,

    Ugh lord, stayed up late last night now up early this morning to get it published before I head to work. I. Am. So. Damned. Tired. 27%. Hopefully I'll feel different in a week or two but right now I'm thinking, NEVER AGAIN! :p I hate deadlines : I hate deadlines : I hate deadlines. 54%. Wish I could say it's because "you should never rush an artist" but is more in the category of me being too damn disorganised. Making a normal mission is a pain to keep track of sometimes, but there are times where I don't quite get what I've got. 71%. I've got a huge sheet of A3 of all the characters timelines, had to simplify it a bit to make it worth without having to play the original Rose Tinted Mirror. And it was only late last night looking at it thinking "this would probably be better fleshed out into several parts". Oh well, bit late now. 100%.

    No front page mention of the voting being open?
    There's always been a front page mention before.
    Not just a forum thread.
