This is another remix of Retrieval, this time by The Niggster from TTLG.de. There's no thread for it here.
FMSel won't load it. The Missflag.str seems to be in order and I played through it in Dromed. It appears to be a properly constructed mission. I don't see why it wouldn't load up normally.
But second and most importantly, what is a niggster? It doesn't even seem like a german word.

It's a reeeeaally unfortunate username is what it is...

Concerning the name: On the German forums, he chose the nickname "The Niggster", so it was meant to be something at least sounding like an english name. On the other hand, if one reads the Info file of this mission at thiefmissions.com, one might realize that "Niggster" may be derived from parts of his first name and family name, although "Nickster" probably would have been a better choice. On the other hand, he wasn't older than sixteen when he chose that name on the German forums, and many of us might know how much sh*t they did when they where that young.

Like baeuchlein wrote his nick may indeed stem from the first part of his lastname (perhaps "Niggemeier"? I've seen some of those here).
I assume he just combined it with an ending like in "gangster" or "bankster" and the result is sounding pretty non-PC.
Especially in a country that is home to word banning experts but has a police force that clocks in an astounding body count of the people who could rightfully be offended by such a word...

It's a bit different. To learn more, check out the Info file of this mission at thiefmissions.com, which obviously contains the author's full name.;)

No, no. But we really, really need a "colored people contest", where a colored person is integral to the plot of any mission submitted. Oh, and then we could have a hispanic contest. Then an asian one. A mexican one. And then an extraterrestrial contest.:cheeky:

Just to clarify things, bauechlein:
Mexican=Hispanic, like many other countries in America (including some regions in southern U.SA.) They speak Spanish as first language. Spanish heritage.
Spanish adj or Spaniard, noun=Spain. Now we dont' use the term Hispanic when it only refers to Spain.
In a nutshell, making a hispanic contest and a mexican contest has no sense.
But making a Spanish contest and a Mexican contest does have sense.
