Darth Windu Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Just thinking, i have an idea for SWGB2, so does sithy, so does vostok, and others such as luke seem to have an interest in our ideas for SWGB2. Therefore i propose a SWGB2 thinktank conprised of members of this community and others discussing a possible SWGB2 (called the Jedi Council, hence the title) to produce a concept that would be acceptable for the majority of fans so that lucasarts have a blueprint of sorts should they decide to create a SWGB2. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeiamyourdad Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 I dunno this is gonna be hard and will take a long time for almost nothing. We aren't the game the designers I don't see why we should put so much work in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Well, maybe, but remember that the community doesn't have the same level of designing and balance prowess as the designers. If there is going to be one of these, then i guess I'll serve as the gameplay maven... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorranSec Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Heh. I'll be in this, if you'll let me. I know I haven't been around that much lately, but I'm still here, and I'm still heavily opinionated. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted June 14, 2003 Author Share Posted June 14, 2003 Wow, i didnt think there would be much of a response to this. However just remember that the job of the council will be to produce a single (preferable) template (not fully balanced game coz thats impossible) that would be useful to lucasarts should they choose to make SWGB2.

It's always worth giving it a shot. LA do check out the forums and if I see any decent ideas, I will be passing them onto LA. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Well it's a nice idea Windu, but I see two major problems with it: Firstly, I've come to believe that even if we make the best game plan possible, LucasArts may be wary of looking at it due to the fear that one of us will sue them for copying our ideas. I believe a similar problem may have been what led to the AoM expansion not featuring Aztecs: too many others had come up with comprehensive designs for an Aztec civ, so to use an Aztec civ may have been viewed as plagiarism. Then again they may always have planned to release the silly idea of an Atlantis civ (even if it does conflict with what they set up about Atlantis in the original game). Secondly, and this is probably a bigger problem... WE NEVER AGREE ON ANYTHING! But I'm up for it all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 1. They can ask us nicely we won't sue them! 2. We almost never agree on anything...almost. Anyway looks like everybody is doing his own template free from persecussion (except windu who is using a generic template). Hey let's have a little bet just for fun. The template that ressembles the most SWGB2 or the next SW RTS gets some prize:D . Probably just honor and pride but still:rolleyes: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 but windu wants to start his own little starwars group and give it a cool (to him) little nickname so he can finally be a part of a group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 1. I don't think thats the reason the Aztecs weren't picked, but it definately was a deterent. 2. We are agreeing that we disagree though (hears alien jedi poll echoing back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterEd Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 In what way would the making of teh Aztec civilization be plagarism? Sith, good point...we ARE agreeing that we disagree, but we do agree you have to admit. They're just ideas floating around that are bound to have disagreements. Not every conversation has to be agreeable. If this makes no sense what-so-ever, I apoligize. I was woken up by a thunderstorm two hours ago and can't fall back asleep...thank god I have just a half a day of school...then it's vacation!

Darth Windu Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 I disagree that we always disagree. Sometimes we agree that we disagree but then at other times we can all agree to agree, and of course other times we disagree a lot. Having said that i think a group made of members with very different ideas is a good thing because then there will be many different ways of looking at things. I would also like to point out that i am quite happy to use the ideas and feedback of others in my idea, and have already done so with ideas from Vostok, Sithmaster and Corran.

JediMasterEd Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 How will we determine on who will be in the council? And wasn't this thought up...about a year and a half ago with the senate idea or something like it that never lasted for long to my knowledge?

lukeiamyourdad Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Originally posted by Admiral Vostok Great idea Luke's Dad! But how are we going to decide whose plan fits the final result best? We'll see it then. It should be obvious. Besides, you only win honor and you'll show everyone that you've got an incredible foresight. Should be easy to decide. JediMasterEd- There is no council and probably won't be any. We all have our own ideas and will post them free from long arguing (except Windu's templates) and free from persecution.

Sithmaster_821 Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Umm...Windu I foresee a problem. If the council is made up of the people who are mking templates and the Council has to pick one, wont everyone just pick their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted June 28, 2003 Author Share Posted June 28, 2003 Sith - no. The job of the council would be to create a general outline of what the members of this, and other, boards would like to see. Hence, i would assume that multiple plans would be presented to the council, which would then be picked apart, altered etc until a single plan developed that all agree on....one plan to rule them all.....

lukeiamyourdad Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Windu, it's impossible. You just want to animate a stupid debate for absolutely nothing. A long debate that will end like the Gunship thread. We've had enough of that ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted June 29, 2003 Author Share Posted June 29, 2003 luke - and its that sort of stupid, self-defeating attitude that will mean we never get anywhere. The idea, if i need to explain it again, is that there is a group of members who develop a single idea for a SWGB2. I fail to see how this will cause a huge debate that will end up like the gunship thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterEd Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 The council idea was created a while ago before the release of GB if I recall. Maybe Rhett may remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Originally posted by Darth Windu luke - and its that sort of stupid, self-defeating attitude that will mean we never get anywhere. Nice... Windu calling anyone stupid is kind of funny to me for some reason... The idea, if i need to explain it again, is that there is a group of members who develop a single idea for a SWGB2. I fail to see how this will cause a huge debate that will end up like the gunship thread. It's COMPLETELY pointless... Because: A: "Developers" are already paid for people making the games. Why would they listen to a bunch of (mostly) 15 year olds on a stupid message board when they have paid professionals who've done this before already working on it? B: Like the gunship thread... after re-thinking this thought I've decided not to post it because I can't control my opinions in talking about Windu's nonsense and it'll turn into a flame war. However I feel a lot of your ideas are flawed in some fashion and you fail to listen a lot of the time to other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Another problem I see is that ideally it would be nice to have twelve members of the council, and I doubt we have twelve regular posters anymore. So I guess we'll have to have less than twelve members. Or all regulars are members and non-regulars are not. But then that sort of defeats the purpose... well, what exactly is the purpose? To decide on a good model for SWGB2? That's what we do already, isn't it? How would the Council alter this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
