Merge Carno's RA 1.5?, An idea for a theme change Options

[Team Black]

Read this topic first

i've been looking into alternatives for the over-cliche CNC3 mod theme - everybody's making mods following the same idea, and it's becoming pretty boring, nothing very special at all...
I know RA 1.5 doesn't have much to boast at this point, but it's something we can work off of.

if we do merge these projects, Carnotauros won't be moderating it (but will still have equal rights as everyone to voice their ideas).

My idea is that it doesn't follow any strict canon of the CNC story, whether or not RA is connected to Tiberim and what-not. . .
it's become too difficult and frustrating to try and link everything together. So why bother? What we're aiming for is gameplay, and for that we're combining elements from both RA1 and RA2 (as much as is possible in the TS engine.
Now, we're not going to be afraid to color outside the lines a little with the story. We've all pretty much agreed that CNC's story is ruined forever, and there's little sense to try and connect everything at this point since EA took it into their own hands. The word of Ishmael isn't the word of God, people, and it's really being a bugger keeping up with "What would Westwood do?" and all that.
The truth is, we'll never know. So stop looking. CNC is whatever you want it to be, so let's just break out of the box and do something original with it.

Or you can vote "no" and stick with the same cliche boring mod that every other mod is based on. Quite honestly we wouldn't be abandoning any of our previous work, because there's little actual work that we've done for this mod, except for TSN's logo - which can pretty easily pass for a soviet dude anyways if we wanted it to.

Gimme some input OK

I don't like the RA1.5 idea, personally I'd keep this mod separate, and if we don't want to go with the over-used C&C3 idea we could come up with something different, i was thinking we keep it as the scrin invasion, particularly because i wan to see my story go somewhere and if we take away the sequal theme then all the work I've gone will be wasted, i don't want to sound selfish but i've done 90% of the concept art on this as well as the story. if we REALLY want to change the comunity mod then make a new one but keep this one, there is nothing wrong with having more then one community project in fact i would much prefer to have mods based on feedback and members then a small group doing what they want. seriously though, keep this mod as it is, if you don't want to run it TB we'll find someone new, if all else fails I'll run it (but i can't mod so it would be a figurehead position) but please lets at least try to keep this going.
