Glad you're enjoying the interview. I hope some other people listen to it. I have a good idea for the next one but I need to find the right subject for it - got a guy in mind but I'm not sure he's forging much currently.

By the way - I think you'd make a good journo. :)

On further reflection, I think I may try to raise it more (i.e. bigger rock - wish we still had the rock arch piece, they make good hills). Another 2 units off the ground may make a difference, based on what I saw in theater, and since the lift will be enclosed it won't really affect how that area plays at all.

In any case, I made the lift box smaller (so it's hard to hit it from a weird angle), raised the mancannon a bit by embedding it in a rock, and added another one way shield in the ship so if you get even kinda close to it, it should pull you in. Hopefully that will be sufficient, because there's not much else I can do. The gravity in the trait zone is already minimized, player movement is disabled, and the mancannon is the most powerful one available. It should work flawlessly... but Halo vs. the best laid plans will usually result in a win for Halo. :(

Working on that lift. Though after viewing it in theater, I'm not really sure why it failed for you a couple of times. Once you ran into it awkwardly and it bounced you off the windows & you didn't go far - that is understandable. The other two failures are not. It looked like you hit the lift squarely and got a lot of velocity, but still you never got all the way up to the ship... and I've tested it dozens of times now without that happening even once. It makes me nervous that there's a connection-to-host problem that I won't be able to resolve.

Applicable as in useful in your writing for the site. I don't mind you bending the application format a bit or adding a bit extra, especially since you ran it by me first! Creativity is something we need around here.

You can include it if you feel it's applicable :)

Nope!

We do, however, really expect you to stick to your monthly article schedule, even if you're only posting one "thread" a month.

As of now the base job description of a journalist would be as follows:

Write at least one scheduled article such as TGIF sign ups, Forge Hub Favorites, Caption Contest, etc.
Behave respectably on the forums
Be available to play halo, test maps, and help with tournaments and contests.
Play, test, and suggest maps for features.
Be active in staff discussions, and voice your opinions on changes or decisions that need to be made

And improv forging, it's so terrifying yet so liberating :D

I still can't get over how fast we worked...
Also, I can't stop thinking about the whale dude. I want that baby.

I know that you were pretty close to finished with your maps. If you need any video or pictures, I'll be happy to help you.

Cool. I'll try to hop on in the next 30 minutes. You need to see this thing, it's... uh, something.

I can get back on any time between now and 5:00 or so - let me know when you'll be on and I'll find you.

Sure man. I'm no Tom Clancy but I can try to help any way I can.

there ya go! :)

Want me to just edit that into the original post?

thank you sir, made it ma-self (:

Yeah, sure, I'm up for it. I think what Jack was going for was more unorganization than not, like the mingoose competition. But I think that that competition was so successful because it was laid back (the prize was only introduced after it picked up entries), and so on. If we wanna do something more organized then I think yeah, like you said, more organization, but not necessarily at the expense of creativity. I'm not particularly good at coming up with themes, so that would be a challenge lol.

Also, I'm really busy Sun - Thurs like every week just fyi. I'm up for helping just keep the above in mind. But yeah, the arts section needs help definitely >:3

yezzir. I'll have it up by tonight :)
