Scratch

When (and what) should I draw?

We're most likely using dropbox. google docs is the same username and password as dropbox account. Hey, do you guys think 'Kaj' is too controversial or taboo to center around our project?  Wasn't Kaj a user who made claims about destroying Scratch, due to wanting to get more views? Although Kaj is no longer on the website, isn't he/she often blamed for so-called "hacking" into other users' accounts? From what I know, many users (especially older Scratchers) put the word "Kaj" in their username to scare other Scratchers. These users often leave comments threatening to hack other Scratchers and destroy Scratch. Despite what most people believe, the real Kaj never stole or hacked any accounts. Occasionally, well-known users have their passwords guessed, and somebody pretending to be Kaj claims it was them.
I'm just not sure if the scratch community would accept a project based on that, or if the scratch team would either. However, On April Fools' Day 2011, KajTheModerator, an April Fool's prank account controlled by the scratch team, appeared on the Scratch forums. Then on April 15, 2011, KajTheModerator retired. However, I still like the kidnapping idea.

Kaj Was a scratcher several years ago. She didn't get many views so she threatened to destroy scratch.
She was banned. The scratch team asked if she wanted her account back. She never responded....
Several years later somone happened to guess spritemaster's password. The story of kaj came back. Many people disgiused themself as kaj to scare other scratchers.
So that's the story of kaj.

Oh, that makes much more sense. I wasn't apart of the Scratch community back then. But I'm still worried the Scratch Team may think centering our story around Kaj would not be appropriate. I mean, he/she was an actual person who just wanted to get more views on scratch just like you and me. And now, whenever someone mentions Kaj, they think 'hacker'. The real truth was Kaj never hacked anyone. He just threatened to do so, and possibly blow up scratch. However, I still don't think HE/SHE would be an appropriate kidnapper. That's just my opinion.

Nah, the scratch team wouldn't have used KajTheModerator on April Fools if they thought it was inappropriate. And Kaj is never coming back to scratch anyway, so it's not as if Kaj is going to be offended... is it?

We could just make up another villain, seeing as everyone likes the kidnap idea

OK. We could call the villain Jak. That way, the villain is a boy, not a girl, and it's not Kaj.

Can we do Romania? I'll make it! (we've got vampires!  )

Okay guys, right now in my country, our senate just passed a debt ceiling bill to avoid default, and the bill is about to go to the president right now. I'm tuning in right now. I bet you can't guess what country I'm talking about. 
I love all the feedback I'm getting on my question, thx. We can keep Kaj in, idk.    Btw, I'm REALLY close to finishing a team logo. For right now, I"ll decide what country I want to pick.

Hey guys, I came up with a really cool logo. Please check it out! It's in dropbox, and it's called TeamEarthLogo.BMP I tried putting all our ideas together. Right now, I'm working on a watermark in scratch. 

In Canada there could be a "Catch the maple leaves game." Or a spot-the-beavers game. Or one of those sled down the hill and don't hit the trees games.

Thanks for voting!

Hey guys, how would you like it if I added a watermark of our team logo to all our projects. That way, nobody can use our sprites, scripts, and/or costumes without the expressed written consent of TeamEarth! 

That was our original intention

It seems that our main competitor is Edna's Spirits.
My game prototype for Romania is almost ready! I'll put it to dropbox.
