Downwinder, please do
not stop posting your ideas. You did nothing wrong. As for the rest of it, Cavalorn, I think fortuni is right that it's time to let it go, but it doesn't mean you're not welcome here either. It's just time to get the thread back on track.
I've already let it go. As far as I am concerned, I am done with this matter.

I never readily dismiss any idea, at least I try not to.
I used to work in animation many years back, and had many a brainstorming session where an idea that was initially put on the back-burner would arise Phoenix-like later on, as a genuine contender. Even if the original concept seemed outlandish, we would pick it apart to glean whatever we could from it.
Thief would have been "Better Red Than Un-dead" (a Cold War Zombie fest) if the original concept stood. Ideas are organic, and often morph into things we could never of imagined.
downwinder suggested a POTA campaign/mission. Thief does have apes. I produced a clothed ape based on Cornelius from that simian franchise. The clothed primate made me think......
Imagine a scenario where the apes from the Maw started wearing armour and brandishing swords, fortifying their strongholds, becoming a more formidable quarry for the greedy Thief! Not quite POTA, but an idea borne from that suggestion.
I seem to remember a mission with Dwarves and Orcs in it. Not quite LOTR, but an idea inspired by it nonetheless.

Purgator... Do you remember one of my PM just before the contest... :cool:
We'll need to talk about BRTU soon in private message...:ebil:
Nevertheless, I have done some researches, the few information I found is that BRTU was supposed to have a gameplay with some kind of reputations...
@Downwinder: You can express your ideas! I'm not your enemy or a censor! ;) But I just want more details to get something more concret when you expose your ideas. Nothing less, nothing more! ^^ This mission idea is good, but I have excepted more when I saw "best idea ever"! :thumb:
I will although congrats you for having opened Dromed at least once time! Soon it will whispers in the night to call you! x)

if each mission was based off the name of the movies then it would be interesting,first movie would be about getting to the planet,at first not seeing anything as far as life,,they would go and gather food and shelter at first ,ending first mission getting caught,nothing massive just showing the world,showing landscape=could be a mix of jungle canyons and beaches maybe some farming area's in later missions
second mission could be named after the same escape from planet of the ape's this mission could be a escape the compound/surrounding jungles/basically a escape mission
third mission is battle for the apes,this would be more about finding other people in villages and gathering them together and getting gear ready for the fight
forth mission would be conquest of the planet of the apes,battling the apes back to the jungles,but still not winning fully,enough time to make a run for the desert
fifth and final mission beneath the planet of the apes,this would be the end mission where you meet the underground people and the nuke/etc
well fire mage you got a idea of what i was thinking
in basic terms,name of film sets the game play for mission,excluding part 1 as a introduction mission and explorer/gather/etc
Spell checked approved

Yeah, but what about punctuation, capitalization, and putting spaces after your commas?

one at a time brethren and anyway windows doesn't have a grammar correction function (ps downwinder is american and in my opinion they have seriously messed around with the English language enough already so lets not suggest to microsoft they introduce such a function.....)

There seems to be quite a concerted effort to keep this post off topic and focused on perceived failings of the author. I can't figure out if it's for personal amusement or otherwise. Frankly, watching a TTLG member being pilloried in this way is a little disturbing. The only redeeming factor is downwinder hasn't risen to it or responded in kind. Perhaps this thread should be suspended until such time the obvious bile it has provoked has had sufficient time to settle?

I won't close the thread just now but let's keep the comments on topic from here on out.
FireMage on 19/4/2015 at 17:35
Closing the thread is not necessary I think, but deleting at least the annoying comments, yes, it is.
Talking about the idea itself, it's ok.
Talking about submission of ideas, why not? As long it is constructive.
But talking about how someone is writting down... I say no! We are not here to speak english correctly with the best punctuation etc. We are here to talk about thief!
If you understand what Downwinder is talking about, it is okay!
So to be on topic:
Okay Downwind'! ;)
I see the point. Just to reproduce the movies into a Thief campaign actually? It is more clear now! The inner circle appreciate it! x)
No because it wasn't easy to see what you really wanted to have/see/play. If you just wanted a mission in Thief Universe with an ape invasion. A single mission in POTA universe. etc. So now... Let's hope that such a campaign will be born someday. :thumb:
