Scratch

Okay, here's what I'm thinking. We have a list of usernames, and a list of hashed passwords. Number 1 on the username list's password (hashed or otherwise secure) would be #1 on the password lists. We would also have pods as a string of numbers, and use the letter x of x block. Basically, when you log in it finds your id, and sets a non cloud variable to that. Then, when you go to your pod it loads your pods idfrom the list, and adds stuff based on whatever. Then, you can edit it or do whatever. Once you're done, you click save and it replace your pod on the list. Also, there should be seperate lists for moderators. And are we using a name generator? If we are, I think mods/admins should be able to have any user they want.

X and Y? I'm assuming you mean the axes. I would recommend instead, it will save the room you're in. Each room would have an ID, and when you rejoined you would appear at the start point of whatever room.

It is the year 3000 and the Scratchers of Planet Scratchia have fled upon Starship Mesh, due to the raids and attacks their planet continuously experiences. These raids are caused by an alien species called the Hackers, of Planet Hackaja. The Hackers are hostile cyborgs who have the power to control technology.
You are a Scratcher. You now must live life upon Starship Mesh, which may not be so bad. Starship Mesh has been equipped with plenty of weapons in case of attack, and is filled with many luxuries to make your stay quite enjoyable.

Something like that. I think one of the planets you should be able to go to should be Scratchia, but it would be 'locked' for certain members.
I think there should be different classes, but not too in depth, pretty much it is a just a job that gives you an additional area and new games to play (and you get more money.)
I propose:
Mechanic: Allows access to Boiler room.
Cook: Allows access to Kitchen.
Soldier: Allows access to Scratchia and Hakaja.
Pilot: Allows access to Pilot's Room.

Each one would get you a new item/or outfit you can wear. I don't know how you get the jobs, I'll have to think about that.
Also, some rooms should have minigames, like club penguin, for example the mechanic should have a fuse related puzzles, the cook should have a cooking game, the soldier should have a (obviously toned down) shooter where you shoot Hackers (Easy in Scratchia, hard on Hackaja), and the pilot where you fly the ship.
These should all earn you whatever currency we use, I was thinking pixels, just to keep the programming theme.
There are also shops upon the ship like a clothing store to by spacey suits.
Lastly, there should be a teleporter room where you can teleport to many planets. Each planet should have games to play and free items to collect. These should be creative, here are a couple ideas:
Scratchia and Hackaja, obviously (locked)
Felinus: A cat planet. Orange colored, with lots of scratch cats. Get a cute little pet kitten here!
Gobonia: The planet of the peaceful alien race, the gobos.
Retrosia: Everything on this planet is 8-bit! Get a free 8-bit space suit here, or play (a ripoff of) space invaders.

The game should also have big celebrations on Scratch Day and stuff.
See what I mean about being heavily scratch inspired?
I also drew a map of what I think the ship looks like, if you want me to upload tell me, if you want me to stop firing concentrated beams of ideas at all of you, thats fine. I am prone to going overboard.

Lots of text. 

I really like the planets and the Scratch themed stuff, but the violence seems a bit much. I was thinking more of an exploratory theme.

It is the year 3000 and the planet Scratchia has become overcrowded. You are sent in the spaceship Mesh-D (Star Trek!) to seek out new planets to live on, (after this is a maybe) while avoiding the Hackers, led by their general, Kaj(?).

I do like the 'jobs' on the ship, perhaps you could do an 'apprenticeship' when you first join to see which job you like best?
I also like the minigames aspect, but I think there should be an arcade where games created by the community (perhaps voted on by the community to see which games will be added?) can be played.

Um, okay, I understand the removal of the minor violence... but Kaj? No offense, that is a terrible idea. I would seriously avoid even mentioning him/her.
Name the leader Glitch, or something.

I agree with technoboy when he says it should be more like an adventure rather than a battle. I like how we are planning this already but isn't the basic gameplay more important? For club penguin they only released the enemy a year or two after Club Penguin was made. Obviously we shouldn't do that to that extent but we should wait a while before we implement the bad guys.

We should also have like a world for collaborations etc. And each of us should be a major character 

Yeah! XD

That is true but do you know how club penguin has that pirate penguin that is a computer but shows up once and a while? We can do something like that.    We also can have a world called ___ that is for programming and is the "building" and "factory" world. This will be awesome!! We should really  start on the gameplay though...

I read most of the posts and really wanted to join this collab and I saw people being directed to the hiring thread so I went there but it is closed. Is there any chance at all of me joining? I could make the chat menu.

Ok, I started compiling a list (and some designs) of major characters (like the ship's captain, head mechanic, evil team leader, etc)
I also made a list of some furniture, spacesuits and items
And lastly I mapped out the rocket. If anyone wants to see any of these, just ask.

@AIOlover: No offense, I don't like the idea of the rooms and planets to be made in blender. Its your call, but I just think it looks very unfitting to have some sprited things but with blendered backgrounds. Again, I don't want to take this whole project into my hands, it is your call, but that's just my opinion.

If you wouldn't mind, could you upload your stuff that you've done? I'd really love to see them. 

Hey all, I'm working on getting the domain up right now.
