OMG so teh t1b3r1um liek killz tehm allz1!!1

 

How long did it take you to type that? Seriously?

 

I don't have much in the way of ideas yet, seeing as I haven't played enough of TS. :oops:

[BWare 0]

Shame on you! Go play now! :wink:

 

But yeah... typing in l33t-speak is like BREATHING to me, man :lol:

My prime idea so far revolves about the investigation of what the unknown element within Tiberium is, and that this could be some sort of Scrin virus. Thus the Scrin have used the Tiberium to try and turn humanity against itself, and thus Nod vd GDI is inevitable.

i found that to be a little insulting...."the way i type" is just the way ive learned to type being that it is quicker for me and its just reflex....i mean look at my article was it 'like all eZ 2 type n wut not,' no it was for the very most part grammatically correct....MAN......why should i write so PROPER all the friken time...im not a tight-ash like that i feel more free writing simpler, even simpler than lamest... :evilintent: ....back to what i was talking about before i'd rather brainstorm on the forums so other people can express their opinions on my ideas and even twist them into even better ideas! dont go there brothaa......o i forgot to add...thank you BWare for defending me and the lazy but free way i type ...........ive got a sort of drunken-monkey talent when it comes to writing and bad grammar really helps

well that is a very creative idea MrLee....after reading this i thought that maybe the unknown element can be like something totally out of our range of thinking. maybe the unknown element can be a mind control substance, mutagenic compound(which has been causing most of the tiberian mutations). also, DOES THE CONCLUSION MEAN THAT HUMANS ARE EXTINCT?? i mean that could work like tiberium is the means to humanity's end.....maybe the scrin's planet was consumed by tiberium and they are coming to help? maybe they used the tacitus to find out how to unite with or adapt to tiberium?.....maybe scrin are humans from the future? maybe scrin are the forgotten which are the ones who's bodies learned to adjust to tiberium?ill continue my brainstorming later im getting caried away...please comment bak :wink:

that would be the "core of the problem" :wink:

 

only thing is now Humanity can hardly be considered to even be alive, considering that the known uninfected human population of the Earth is now numbered by the hundreds.

 

and that was before the SILO fell....

[rEdaSbLood 1]

word...but i still ask why scrin are hostile?? they are definitely more advanced than us and there are definitely other planets with water that they can conquer, why would they pick earth? and also maybe the blue guys described are not scrin....like maybe they are the ones that attacked scrin homeworld with tiberium and scrin are comin to help...that'd be interesting.......

[Cygnus X-1 12]

how are they blue figures not scrin ?

 

you know what scrin look like ? Do tell...... :roll:

[rEdaSbLood 1]

well im sayin maybe what we thought as scrin are only one species that know about tiberium...maybe there was a dueling species on a originally tiberium planet or maybe the unknown element in the tiberium is something evil that makes the scrin attack earth or something.....!?!? 8) yea dats rite foo i tol u!

Oh no no no... we can't even possibly begin to understand what's going on with the Scrin. I want them to appear as almost spiritual and inaccessible... ethereal, mystical beings... kind of like angels- angels that want you dead. We don't know why, but apparently we stand in their way, and Tiberium seems to be their not-so-subtle way to change Earth into something a bit more comfortable to them. Or maybe not! We just don't know... can't know... and that's what makes them so darn cool!

 

About the "mystical additive" in Tiberium, well, I'm currently studying biology and chemistry pretty in depth, and recently have been learning about the subatomic structures of atoms... pretty crazy stuff. I've come up with some ideas about what Tiberium can be. My idea is basically that Tiberium is a type of chemical element that pretty much fits into no categories and follows no definite patterns... it gives and takes electrons almost randomly, changes configuration almost instantly, and exhibits almost sentient properties. This makes it nearly impossible to categorize or even identify at the atomic level.

This explanation opens up the possibility that it's actually directly under the control of the Scrin... it behaves almost organically, and its active purpose is to completely transform earth into an entirely new ecosystem... and basically screw us over

 

YES, I just got a crazy little idea for a story... a fairly brief one, but possibly even wider in scope than the Silo. Oh yes... it will delve into many of these issues. It will be hard as hell to pull off, but could be pretty great. Working title... "Synthesis."

[rEdaSbLood 1]

im looking forward to it.....hm so are you going to bring religion into this? or maybe relate tiberium and scrin to the meaning of the universe? and if scrin are so advanced where like you said they can't be touched why would they need a ship? a materialized ship like the one in the TS mission? lol i hope all this brainstorming and probeing(spelling?) into your imagination helps :lol:

and of course all of this indepth study of tiberium has unfortunatley, killed off almost all of the scientists who studied it, thus making it even harder for the surrvivors to surrvive

[rEdaSbLood 1]

Sounds promising Bware.

 

I think it will take more than one addition to the story to really finish it.

 

My guess is the end will be a type of hault of the story, plain and simple in nature.

 

My hope is that the end will be something that will leave the reader to wonder.

 

plaise the lord, PRAISE THE LORDD!

[BWare 0]

Haha, that's actually my hope as well redasblood! It's supposed to be a bit of a mystery, and my goal is to broaden the mystery. Trust me- you'll be left wondering :wink:

 

It's 4:30 in the morning. Now I'm off the airport... ugh.

[rEdaSbLood 1]

Well, if you don't sleep and you are in the mood, it would be a great opportunity to write on the plane. Otherwise, dream about Command & Conquer. jk

 

All I know is if in the story the Scrin don't get a butt-kicking from humans or mutants(preferably mutants) there will be a problem here fellas 8) . Get THE MUTANTS HERE TO HELP THEY KICK BUTT; MUTANTS ARE USED TO TIBERIUM. Mutants are as I see it the biggest problem the Scrin have on Earth.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

except that after Kane's missile, the mutants mutate even further and become less human and more tiberian creature. Thus, more under the "influence" of hte Scrin.

[rEdaSbLood 1]

Good point. ALthough as in RA2 there were units that could resist a sort of mind control. Also, it could add to the dramatic part to make the mutated mutants overcome Scrin forces.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

remeber they have ot deal with other creautres too

 

plus mthe forgotten are dying too, many of htem cant take the increased tiberium ness of everything

[rEdaSbLood 1]

ok i have NO rebuttal to that as i have been reBUTTing for a while hehe. STill though i'd like to see some dynamic plot here not just 'Scrin rule Earth'..........damit we are Earth lol :shock:

[Acerz492 1]

Human beings are very tenacious as a species when it comes to survival. But, in saying that, that dosen't mean humans can survive everything. BWare's story is going down that track, and as much as we hate it, at least it'll be a great read when it's finally pieced together.

 

Like I've said, it'll be a change from what we are accustomed to.

[rEdaSbLood 1]

True. It is different but not all that much. There are many storys with bad endings. What I'd like to say is that if humans prevailed in getting rid of the Scrin, it doesn't mean they got rid of the Scrin alltogether. Also, it would be a happy ending if humans got rid of the Scrin because they still have a tiberium world and still lost a POOP-load of loved ones and such.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

getting rid of the Scrin means several things

 

1: Kill them militarily

 

2: Getting rid of all the Tiberium

 

3: Rebuilding and fortifying against any other Scrin, sinc e we dont know how many are out htere

 

but getting rid of the tiberium will kill us all. because by now 97% of earth's ecosystem is now tiberium dominated

[rEdaSbLood 1]

Like i said, it would be to my liking if we plain old kicked Scrin off the planet. The tiberium would still be a huge problem and Scrin would come back, but that would be a better ending than just all humans die. One of the reasons CnC has intrigued me over the years so much is because it was different from other sci-fi storys. If the Tiberium story ends with humans extinction it would just be too mundane. I'd rather see a defining ending where something happens that isn't simply one-sided or blunt with no possibility of continuation(spelling). 8)

[BWare 0]

Hmmm... you know, I was sold on the "everyone dies" type ending (I don't see how it would be cliche :?, but I think I'll toy with the idea of at least a temporary victory for humanity. I make no promises, but it may be doable...... we shall see :wink:

 

 

Meanwhile, my little concept piece entitled "Synthesis" is well underway. Expect it relatively soon! It should be a wild ride.

[rEdaSbLood 1]

o what a ride it will be!...i expect well from the well-providing one(and only).

hehe NYC can inspire you as it did any before you..
