I have a favour to ask other TS players Options

[RainXc]

Hello, I'm Rain.
I have a favour to ask you guys .


I currently run a page on facebook about "Westwood Studios" together with some of the ex-Westwood employees

(Alright that's the Westwood Studios page right here):

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/We...29073921?ref=ts


We've reached our 1000 member marker which is a small milestone for the page.
For the occasion we're organizing a major update blog for the members of the page concerning all the Westwood Studios games
(Nox series,Lands of Lore, the Dune games, the C&C series,ect.)

For the last year I've been on an exchange student program with a bad laptop and slow internet.
So I haven't been on Tiberian Sun for quite some time now or any other C&C game for that matter.

All I need to know is a brief summarization of how C&C TS- FS is doing these days online
Perhaps you could help me with TD too ?
(the same will be done with the other C&C games. )

I would like to interview all of you and ask your opinions, but time is running out and there is a deadline.

so please post your opinions about Tiberian Sun/ FS in a reply here.
Be as honest as possible: The good , the bad and the ugly.

Perhaps it would be also interesting to know what communities are still active and what mods are in the spotlight nowadays.

Thanks,
Rain

The people I am working with are mainly fans of Westwood studios or Petroglyph.
(fans specializing from games such as Nox to Lands of lore to some of the C&C titles)
Although we have allot of ex-westwood employees as fans in our group, there are only 2 ex-WS employee's in the the admin staff team :

1.Mike B. Legg : Now co-founder of Petroglyph.
2.Joseph B. Hewitt : freelancer nowadays. (game designer)



Through these two I usually get in contact with the other people such as Brett Sperry and Rade Stojsavljevic who now run Jet set games inc. together with a few of the other staff members and of course the others.

The landscape of the relations between the Ex-Westwood members is a bit rough, some still are in contact with eachother, others not .

Although we have ex WS staff members in our admin staff, we get a reply from them only once in a while
But that's understandable seeing both of them are quite busy (especially Mike since he's been working on Mytheon and a new major title: a sort of MMORTS from Petroglyph)

Currently I am a freelance writer for a games magazine (called SKOAR!) and a student journalist.


The work that is being done on the blogs has been moving very slowly, allot of research is going on at the moment to figure out the puzzle within the various games. There are also a big political conflicts between certain community factions ( Such is the case in the game: noX) , which makes just the more difficult to write things down while remaining neutral.

Content of the Blogs:
Next to pinpointing the fact that these games have been around 8-10 years, and they are still alive!
We will also bring allot of criticism in the blogs , mainly towards the Xwis Strike Team
(Then again they are doing work voluntarily ) , but also towards some communities who claim the monopoly over the some of the old games.
-> I'm still working on arrangements to talk to the top guys of the Xwis ST .
-> Certain communities haven't been so forward about talking to me, like for example the Renegade community.
(so you can really see how happy I am to see the replies from the TS side haha)


The blogs we are making will consist out of a chain of each game series.
Starting from the more newer WS games to the more older ones.


We are also looking for people who are willing to represent the C&C TS side of our page.

Anyway I'm off to check out the TD side .
Thanks again for the replies, it's greatly appreciated.
I will definitely mention this community in the TS blog, that might bring some more people here. (Which might be useful)
