Hey guys, I have something to say.

I think it would be great if we could team up with Fulldroid. After seeing and playing his awesome game, Galaxy, I have come to a conclusion that we REALLY need someone who can 'jumpstart' our Elite project, and I think Fulldroid may just be the person. Maybe we could try to collab with him, and call the Elite Galaxy, a game that has the features of elite (like the bases, planets, powerups, etc...), but the programming and art of Fulldroid's Galaxy. I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas. All I have to say is, at the rate we're going, we really need something we can build upon, and I think Fulldroid's Galaxy game is just the thing.

I won't ask Fulldroid anything until we come to a conclusion.

Yes. I really agree, because I REALLY need something I can build upon. SOON.

NO! Definetly not!
Why?
Just because I think, his "galaxy"  game has nothing to do with our previous 3d concept and programming powerups and stuff like this can't be a real problem for skilled scratchers like us.
On the other side, I think we should really work more on our game. As you should have noticed, I recently uploaded a simple menu base to the dropbox in order to get modified.
So if you wanted to make the graphics and the programming, feel free to work on it. But please, please don't make the things even more complicated by inviting fulldroid.

I agree — nothing against Fulldroid's game; but it's a completely different style of game, so won't serve as a suitable base.

I agree with pretty much everything you just said.

All right guys, it's been a while since I have been on, and I am in a quite complex dilemma. Balancing high school with soccer, extra curricular activities,and my social life is proving to be quite difficult. I believe a possible solution to this is to appoint an intern at my position, until my schedule frees up. I highly suggest that we appoint Ads98 as my intern, because of his hard work and dedication towards this collab (this in no means that I prefer any member over another member, I just appreciate his commitment). However, I will be checking over progress from time to time, but I will not be able to be online frequently. Show 'em how it's done Team Earth.

Well, thanks Kamesh and everyone who agreed I should be intern. I am honored. But, now, it's time to get down to business.

Before we even think of starting Elite, there are a few communications problems between Thrystor and TeamEarth that need to be addressed. We, already no Thrystor has a lot of stuff we REALLY need for Elite (e.g. shop, space base). The problem is he can't share this with us. He already told us his space base ALONE is on the scratch website. However, without Thrystor having access to dropbox, we can't work on this as a group. I have one suggestion:

I don't think anyone on TeamEarth (except maybe Thrystor) wants to tell their email address over scratch. Keep in mind Mailinator is no longer an option for Thrystor. So this leaves me to think of only one other option.

We need to create a 'shared' TeamEarth scratch account for people who can't get to dropbox (something like 'Team_Earth_test). This is the only way we can ALL share information, because everyone has access to scratch. But keep in mind, this will not replace dropbox. It will be more like an alternative way of sharing projects (like just in case someone forgets the dropbox password and can't get to mailinator). I don't care who created the account, as long as it's created. Tell me what you guys think about this idea.

well, we already have a Team Earth. Or will that be for final projects? I like the idea of a team earth  test. mabe we can have a gallery where we can discuss ideas and post projects.

I basicly like the idea of a test account. The only two problems are, that Thrystor still wont have acces to the work, that WE share on the dropbox and that we also need a way to share the password for the test account.

Oh and so Thrystor and others who can't get to dropbox will know what's going on with dropbox, let's make it a rule that whenever we upload or update a draft (e.g. DRAFT1) of our project on dropbox, always upload a copy on the test account. How does that sound?

Doesn't that just mean there's no point having the Dropbox?

I don't see why it's so difficult. Everyone else can get into the Dropbox; surely the solution is to get Thrystor the password as well?

Maybe an IRC chat room?
We could host a private one and kick anyone who we didn't want in there.
And we could give out details and stuff safely.
