As I'm sure you are all aware this morning, we have woken up to a brand new world. Like something out of a Sci-Fi show, the White House this morning confirmed that they have been in communication with a civilisation "not of terrestrial origin" for a number of years!!!!

Episode 231 - The Next Generation - "The Inner Light" - 06/01/1992



Parts 2-5:

Found from the above link in the related videos section

A space probe creates a telepathic tether and causes Picard to experience, in twenty-five minutes, a lifetime as a married man on a world that was destroyed a millennium ago.

Enjoy!

Oh, sweet, I had no idea that that was all integrated, thank you!

If the training session is taking place in Ventrilo, you don't need a microphone as long as you can hear what is being said. You can use the Ventrilo chatroom to ask questions and make comments.

Sure, put it in the Times.

Interestingly, that's not the direction STO players have thought of the Orion language. I would describe their take on Orion as Latin, with Arabic and Sanskrit substrates. You'll see what I mean when I get the rest of the list up.

Would you mind if we put this in the Times for next month?

Also, there is a book out there of Orion names -- someone gave me mine: Nispivan

I look forward to this and can't wait to see how it all comes out... I must say that this definately appeals to my inner geek....

I will give 100,000 credits to whoever can take this logo, put it into Photoshop, and make it look crisp, professional, and presentable.

That will be awesome.

Okay, so it makes sense, except I don't find anything in the programme that says "add door" or anything about doors, except for the things-you-still-need-to-do box telling me I need to add a door.

I know there are some Foundry training sessions planned, but as I don't have a microphone, I don't see how I'll be able to participate in these.

Thanks

I'm just going to echo this as it summarily describes how I feel as well. Thank you to everyone who threw their work into the ring. Our judges are in the midst of their deliberations but final results should be posted tomorrow. Exciting stuff! :)

Episode 230 - The Next Generation - "The Next Phase" - 05/18/1992



Parts 2-5:

A transporter accident traps Geordi and Ensign Ro out of phase; while the others plan their funeral they must find a way to reverse the process and save the Enterprise from destruction.

Enjoy!

Some of you know that I've been compiling names that players have been using for different species' characters, and then running them through an algorithm to determine what we players collectively feel like the languages of different species sound like. I've been trying to post the results on message boards, but it's much to unwieldy. So, instead, I've created a website to post the results. It's live: http://s-i-x.webs.com , but not filled out yet. I plan to work on this for the next day or two.

At the moment, Andorian and Orion are ready to post. I've been wanting to get Caitian ready to post, but I've determined that players have taken two such radically different takes on Caitian, that I'm considering breaking it down into two dialects, which I call the "Shiboline" and "M'Ress" dialects, as those two names look like the two directions folks go with Caitian names.

Right now, I'm going to create a logo for the Institute. I'm looking up the Egyptian hieroglyphic for "tongue", I figure that would be a good base for a logo.

Actually, that makes a lot of sense. I'm going to try it out later.

sorry guys i will not be able to make it tonight. :(

I wanted to do a nice story in the foundry which didnt involve combat but when I came to do it I was most disappointed with what I couldnt do. In particular I found myself having to use a specific template when trying to design the interior to my ship. i was also disappointed in not being able to have an entity disappear off the starmap after I had finished with it.

If anybody wishes to see my effort it is a KDF mission, even though it may be more suited to Federation due to being non combat, called 'Sensor Anomaly' by Dirlettia.

Any critiques are welcome as well as any ideas on how to advance the storyline a bit.

I'd like to see what you can show us about the Foundry. I have many story ideas that I would like to begin working on now that Foundry is live.

I agree with what has been mentioned previously in this thread as far as what I would like to learn from you, but I would be really interested in finding out how to make episodes that become a series of continued story lines.

I have a couple ideas that I want to stretch out into a few episodes, to heighten suspense.

Yes, really good job everyone! You all should be very proud of yourselves as you are all amazing writers.

I just have to say, you all did not make it easy. I'm ready to start reading the remaining parts of the stories.
