For The Devs: StarFreeze Day

Dear Devs,

After the recent loss of StarFreeze, I proposed the idea of SF Day and the responce has been incredible, 31 people have signed that they support SF Day and would like to see it made the first official Vendetta Holiday.

Several people have suggested I ask if you can find out when SF first created his account or when he was last logged into the game so that we could have a meaningful date in that respect.

For more details, please visit: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard?thread=4776&page=1

Thank You,

Black 1

...if this is something that takes awhile for the Devs to do, don't make them do until after the release. They are *VERY* busy as everyone keeps saying, and I believe it.

I'm sure they couldn't just look at the original thread...

i seriusly doubt it would be put in untill the actualy day (or near then)

I would like to see some serius ideas about what could be done on said day, such as a banner saying "in memory of starfreeze" in every sector, or "starfreeze day" cards for sale.

But first i would like the name to be locked so no one else can ever take it.

I think it would just cause people to reflect upon SF and his ways of playing, it might cause newbs to be a little more civilized as they grow up ingame, or maybe just a day for memory of him.

Some sort of bot show maybe in the central sector? Mk Is, then MK IIs, etc etc flying in formation? Maybe a Trader Bot group flying the Missing Man formation?

What would be fun is a bot flying around in a sector leaving contrails saying stuff about starfreeze, like urza said, "in memory of starfreeze" or something.

i like!! A formation of bots trailing banners! a frigate with a banner hung over it's side! SF would be pleased
Jun 20, 2004 Pyroman_Ace link
yeah, now we're thinking!

An Airshow in SF's honor.

Frigate does a 21-AGT Salute
Some Recons trailing Waylonic's Banners
Maybe a Waylonic's sign projected from s9 stardock saying "In memory of StarFreeze"
And my previously mentioned formation...

/me loves the Missing Man idea...

It's "Waylonics" you uber-git.

This has been a deserved message brought to you by the lead translator at #vendetta-waylonics.

Pyroman, we gotta start thinking big now.:) with 7000+ sectors, few people will notice a banner in sector 9.

DUDE! SF is, like posting well, he posted in the "name the whateverus" Thread (look up!)

*EDIT*
oh, and he posted in the "mindboggaler" thread
Jun 20, 2004 Urza link
He is still on IRC. he couldn't leave, no one can...

Bots should go around making mine shows for SF.

And written out in mines is "Starfreeze".

That should happen in every sector, and some how, the bots can make it all explode at once.... and do it all over again.... until the day is over.

Also on this special SF day, the legendary Racing Sectors should come back, as well as, a seperate solar system for flag capping.... an exact replica of the current universe... with the 3.2 AI for Bots.

Now that would be a nice and fun day.

Monk.. i'd think with the help of 5 other peoples... It could be done. 1 person is not enough, the mines dissapear too fast.

Remember that your mines wouldn't set off any teammate's mines. So everybody would have to set their own off in sync- a difficult feat.
Jun 22, 2004 Pyro link
Nah, it should have the 3.1 universe... :D
Jun 22, 2004 Urza link
Not that hard really. JUst sit back with a rocket aimed at the mine and boom it when it's time.
Jun 22, 2004 Pyroman_Ace link
Naw, I think that a SF Mine Cluster would lag a fair bit...


what about positioning roids in the shape of "SF" in the national homesectors?

Make a bot airshow in 2 or 3 sectors (same coding for each) and repeat it 2-4 times that day.

Post frigates with "In Memory, StarFreeze m/d/y-m/d/y"

Maybe have a headstone in one of the systems, just a holo reading

I think it would be nice if we kept it a little less elaborate.
I love all the ideas, but most of them make me feel as if StarFreeze had passed away... (comon. a headstone?)

/me puts flowers on StarFreeze's headstone. sniff** the poor fella

I asked a1 about a starfreeze day, I don't think that he gave an answer.
