I would play a space NES but I would prefer if you brought down the quality a tad bit and brought us to history to that point. LINES has a lot of potential to go that far. Moving through history would a lot more fun then just fastforwarding to that point.

If you do a space NES start over or do a Scifi Alt. Historical so that we could possibly return to the point where we were if you find more time.
 
Here's a dumb idea, and I'll probably be run out of town for it :eek::

"Hire on" a second moderator of sorts? Make it a tandem operation. I only lurk, but LINESII is very, very good and to see it changed or ended would be a real pity. A second mod, even if they only helped with the technical side and let you keep your "IggyFlava" writing and updating style, could shorten your work load considerably.
 
As one of only two players that has been in LINESII for every update from the beginning, for over a year now, please hear me out.

I like the idea of doing a space continuation of LINESII. It would be great.

But not now.

Just think about how far this NES has come after over 20 amazing updates. Skipping right to a space NES would be skipping over 2000, perhaps more, years of Tellus' history. With all due respect, I want to be part of that history.

I want to see LINESII in the Medieval period, if there is one. I want to see the Renaissance, the Gunpowder Age, and the rise of modern science. I want to discover the rest of the world, not read about it being discovered. Skipping all of that history, all of that stuggle and conquest and the rise and fall of nations and cultures, would cheapen the experience of what has been, to me, one of the greatest NESes of all time.

So, do I support a space continuation of LINESII? Yes.

But not now.

Let me add a follow up to this. Iggy, I'd rather you slow the pace (trust me, we can take it) of the NES, take your time, and continue updating at the same or slightly reduced quality.

I know there have been suggestions of this in the past for other NESes. I have never understood others' aversion to it, but it has been turned down every time it was offered.

Iggy, I would be willing to assist you in every aspect of the update that does not involve Kelios if you continue LINESII linearly and not in this absurd "aliens grant technology to everyone" time warp. I even slightly agree with Thlayli that I might be willing to stay on into a space NES if we were given the opportunity to reach the modern era and beyond on the planet first. But we weren't.
 
Keep going. A BT to a more advanced age (but not space), ITs that are less detailed, a second moderator, anything. Dont go to space though just yet.

Its a great NES and I want to see it continue, even if I want to see the penguin in your sig die.
 
When I first saw LINES II open, I wasn't that concerned with it. What would be the point, I asked myself, when so many promising NESes started, only to end a day later? There wasn't much, really: it wasn't even that impressive of a basic idea to me, because I had already though about the cradle NES before LINES II was ever opened--that's not to brag, that's simply to illustrate my feelings at the time. It was just another NES.

It's not now. I read through four hundred pages. I don't even like reading on the internet that much: it's hard on the eyes and most of the stuff in there was spam. But this was different. It had feeling. It had substance. There were only two NESes I've ever read like it: stJNES5, and ITNES. Only these three NESes would I ever reread for fun. For other NESes, reading updates is okay, but then having to reread them for details is a chore. With the three, this one included, rereading an update was nice. There was substance. There was backstory. It was the NES to define several generations of incoming NESers.

Don't kill it.
 
Iggy, lower quality is fine. I don't even know why you feel compelled to WRITE 14 pages. I want this NES to be truly Epic and keep going until it reaches space. I know you love it, and i love it, so just make the updates shorter, less detailed. And also, updates will get shorter once the Global War ends. Just hpe for 4-5 updates of relative peace.

Perhaps if you set a solid deadline and alotted for yourself a certain amount of time to FINISH the update you could get it done without it consuming your weekends. Updates don't need to be novella's, they just need to advance the Never Ending Story

I want LINESII to be a true NES.:goodjob:
 
I'm with Thlayli and NorthKing on this one. They said it better than I ever could (especially Thlayli).
 
actually, after some thought, toss my vote for the space NES to continuation of the current NES.

these are *bleah* peaceful Interventionists. I can not see of anyway of getting rid of them once we invite them onto our planet, or Letting us OFF of it once do establish peace. first sign of conflict in space, we get slaped down and placed under protective custody.

there are several other variants that might work, but I'm being optimistic here. the next two most likely are puppeteers, in which case we are complearlt and utterly $#%#%. Or Merchants, in which case, we are going to indebted to them for near forever, and a source of slaves. and these are the good Scenarios I can come up with.
 
The Lengels giving up war for peace and technology is probably as likely as me joining a fastforward of LINESII in Space. I'd rather get there through actual playing, not 'Oh, here are these aliens, lets do space travel now' instead of leading a nation from the Ancient era to a futuristic age where space travel was possible.

Not the same, and it kills the feeling and spirit thats been building in this NES. If the nations of LINESII were to give up war for technology, and then move out to space, where would the age old conflict of Khemri and Veritas end up? Where would my beloved Lengels end up?
 
Meh, after the moving oratory metaphorically heard today, I change my vote as well. Let LINESII resound through the ages in the form of multiple updates reaching forward to space, not alienus ex machina.

The cultures here are too beautiful to hijack and destroy in a jump-to-the-future move. Plus there are many wondrous things I'd like to see play out, like Thlayli's tomb diving, Contempt's rebellion, and Kal's continued existance as a perennial world power.
 
I am glad to see that people are making the correct decision (that being my opinion, of course ;)).

Democracy wins this day... but only as we are the gated community of CFC. I'd hate to see what the OTers would choose.
