Wrote a lot more text tonight for notes and journals. Lots of little adjustment, locked doors, naming keys, etc... it always bothered me when I have a ton of keys and I have no idea what they are for so I'm naming all of them in this mission.
I've had to reference a lot of other levels and missions to find out how to do some things yesterday and today but most of the hard parts are done. I hope. :p

All, I need some help. I'm having trouble deciding what to call my mission. So far I've called it “The Unnamed Hideout.” I don't know if this is any good. So I thought of a few more possibilities. Here are 4.
1. The Unnamed Hideout
2. Barry's Mask ( can be another name.... Maybe a play on Majora's Mask instead? So the name could start with an “M”). Needs to be male because I already have him and he has a male voice for one thing he says.
3. The Stolen Mask
4. A Lucrative Favor
Let me know if any of these are good or if you have other suggestions. The main point is to get a mask back that was stolen from someone and its in an old warehouse converted to a hideout by an unnamed criminal gang.

sounds the best to me. It immediately stood out when I read it.

The Nameless Hideout sounds better to me than Unnamed Hideout, but honestly any of your suggestions would do fine.
Sounds like your doing a grand job after 18 years and I'm very much looking forward to your much anticipated mission. If it hasn't been mentioned before it's very much advised to beta test your mission before release, you'll be amazed how much is picked up with a few good testers going through any new mission with fresh eyes.

Yes I will plan to do that. It's definitely coming along.
Note that I only had 5% of what I have now up until last year when I really started work on this in 2020. From 2003-2019 this mission was just the starting area and it was nighttime. There was no hideout. Just a wall outlining where it was going to be. So yes, its been dormant for a long time. LOL
I think I'm leaning towards "The Stolen Mask" or "A Lucrative Favor" at this point.

Well, "A Lucrative Favor" sounds nice, but it has that flavor, you know, like "Hmm, I've played this already. I know this name". That feeling was so strong that I spend 10 seconds checking if there is an FM with such a name. Have found "Lucrative Opportunity".
"The Stolen mask" is just too boring.
What can I suggest? I don't know English well enough. Something non-standard. "Masked gang"? "Receiving without shipping" (yeah, I know that's stupid), "Warehouse, gang, and mask"...
I don't know really. Just don't rush with a name. Name is important.

How about something along the lines of "A Favor Brings Fortune"?
Aged Raver on 2/8/2021 at 08:25
How about "A Fortunate Favor" ?
Although your original "A Lucrative Favor" still sounds good to me. :D
