  • Novelty factions idea: 'poly AC posters

    This is a down-the-road notion, as I'm juggling a lot of graphics eggs right now, so there's plenty of time to discuss- but my services are offered.

    It would be a hoot to make a faction set based on AC-heads who post here.
    I’d suggest Illuminatus is a gimme, as are vyeh and scient.

    The silly nature of the thing indicates the portrayals need not be fair or accurate, so long as no one's feelings are hurt. I'd urge going for the comedy; this place tends towards humor-impairment.

    You can star in your own silly faction, if you like, though others should be allowed input- to make it better and compensate for the conflict of interest. Whether I take submitted photos of the victims and try to make them look AC-level realistic, or use something else, would be up to the committee. Naturally, we’d have to depend on the victims’ cooperation to get/use photos of them.

    I strongly urge that we hold out for victims’ acquiescence in general.

    PM me for my email if you’d like to send me images you don’t want to post here- keeping in mind people would see a version in the finished faction, if nowhere else. Posting is better, where feasible. It’s in our best interests to keep the forum active.

    I’ll tend to want to try to make everyone better-looking.

    That’s all I’ve got at this point, and have no interest in doing the text files myself; as with the Strategist Project, I’d be glad to see others take it and run, even on the graphics, though I’d like to be involved.

    We might want to talk about ground rules first.

    Again, I won’t participate in hurting feelings on purpose or in ways that can easily be anticipated- let’s be funny, but play nice.

    I’m flexible on all parameters but that last one. This is, naturally, open to everyone.

    Discuss.

    ...And if we did scient, I'd wanna give him a halo, like a renaissance painting.

      ...And something that says "alpha male" for Illuminatus...

      I'm surprized a useless idea like this hasn't provoked some posts already.

        I won't lie I have very little to no interest in mods, custom factions, and such. Not saying this is a bad idea or anything just not something that interests me. I usually just play the game the way it is, pick a faction pick a map and go.

        You might also suffer from the fact that I only see maybe around 6people that regularly post on multiple sections of this forum. I am one of the ones that do not post or read in all of the sections. I have only looked in the AC Multiplayer section maybe 3 times for example and I do not usually look in the AC creation section unless I have something to say in it or I am waiting for a reply to something.

        I guess if you are one of the people proposed to have a faction made from you would likely be interested if your attention was brought to here, or if you are into the custom modding stuff. I say go for it if you are really interested in doing it.
        I got scolded in Bold letters by Iluminatus.
        That makes me sad. :(

        I can't use smilies in my signature that makes me even more sad. :(

          My feeling is that it's a cute idea, could be awfully funny done right, and there's no reason not to make the factions good, balanced, playable ones that happen to have frivolous themes.

          I like funny factions as a novelty change-of-pace. I enjoyed play testing the Cannabis League. It's the only custom faction I've worked on that I've played through a game to completion, (besides the Pretty Princesses, which is also hilarious, and also rocked.)


          I don't look in Multi much, either. I read everything in General and Creation when it's new, but a lot just isn't my kinda thing to comment on. I enjoy your map thread but have nothing to add. So I understand that.


          This isn't something I've poured days into, so my desire to discuss isn't nearly so strong- I'm sure I won't pursue it if no one takes an interest. I was partly just doing a vyeh and throwing it out there for the forum's sake. It's better for everyone to have this place healthy and active.


          Thanks for the two cents.

            I'm a bit new here, been reading the forums for a while. I've only just started fiddling with SMAX for a couple of weeks, but definately interested... made a couple of factions already, but i'll get back to you on this one.

              Not completely on topic, but here's one i'm working on. Needs some input, it's my 1st smac faction and the graphics are just temporary... but it's based on the Eden project in southwest England, if they turned into eco-terrorists...

              Citicism and suggestions would be more than welcome.
