And Avenger, which viperviper are you? There's like... ten of them.

Might be CaptainObvious77, but the display name is viperviper. I'm probably changing it.

Good we're making progress . If there are any other game suggestions put them here. I'm going to add a poll in a bit to see where are we going. Even if your game doesn't get to be chosen first eventually we can support any game the community loves we just need to establish a basis first. LJS you can search those games in YouTube to see if you like em. Firefall could be a great choice for us as I see almost no cons to it (Maybe better itemization :P ). Could make an event "Mining tycoon" - Give a special resource the teams should mine together with the thumper (a big machine that basically alerts all monsters around you to try and eat you :P ) and maybe if I look into the party system there also allows the teams to shoot each other to add another layer to the gameplay . TF2 is also GREAT for events (Especially traitor hunt with spies).

I tried WoW a while ago, never got into it.

Oh, my steam ID is ryebread42

Okay, I'll get around to that as soon as steam reinstalls to my external hard drive.

Added poll. I'm only limited to 10 choices so I couldn't put all of the suggestions. I'm quite sure we already have a winner though .

In related news, I have Planetside 2 sorta working on a different computer. We'll see where that goes.

You put crossfire in the polls twice

[Iv121]

ooops so we have a slot available if you want.

But... has anything actually been decided? I haven't seen anything so far here that implies that we're actually going to switch to anything besides being the forums for a Minecraft mod. That bit's kinda important. It's why we're all here. This looks more like "Oh, yeah, this was mentioned in a discussion in an unrelated thread, so now it's the future of the entire forum." Surely there need to be votes or something. Mackeroth and Fr0stbyte haven't even commented yet. Redirecting the entire purpose of the community is a rather large move to make without any kind of official acknowledgement.

[Iv121]

Well what IS official acknowledgment ? The forum mostly runs on the community's desires.

See I'm not cancelling futurecraft, I didn't even take it out of the name. IT IS a central theme in here. Problem is our central theme actually doesn't exist currently and so there is not much going on the forums that is directly connected to futurecraft (the ships are merely minecraft constructions that might never appear in the game itself and the idea discussion is rather minor). The forum mostly runs on free talk between people and sometimes organizing a few games together.

What I'm trying to do is to extend the central theme and solve the forum's slight identity crisis, giving the members an opportunity to have fun together before the mod comes out. When it comes out it doesn't fall out of the social gaming category. It will become our central supported "game" and we will still be a social gaming community one way or another.
