Now we need actors, director... plotlines... and teamspeak/vent!

Nexuiz has a story?

I could direct. Steam is good for TeamSpeak! If you dont have Windows, don't worry, WINE can fix that.

Now someone get working on some stories! I would but I'm too lazy but if I do randomly come up with anything, you guys will be the first to know!

You're not being serious, right?
No sane person would install WINE to get STEAM solely to use TEAMSPEAK...

Use REAL apps, instead of windows apps

teamspeak has a linux port...

Yeah, and a buggy Mac-port, which hasn't been updated for years...

Theres always Vent.... no idea for anything linux for it though

They've been working on a linux client for ages now. I hear it's going to be released at the same time as Duke Nukem Forever.

Some time soon then we hope

Wow i didn't know this thread would be this popular ROFL

Exactly how will we add voices?

It seems to me that nexuiz is not just the name of the game, but the name of a person. Take, for instance, the descriptions of the Mulder and Xolar models: "Nexuiz's Soldier." So, there is someone called nexuiz with an army of mulders and xolars. It is not a stretch to think that the only reason he (?) has an army is because he's too lazy to go and frag everyone himself. :p

Nexuiz is not a mere person or single entity. It is everywhere and everything, yet remains hidden from our worlds. It is so shrouded in mystery that most mere mortals can't even pronounce it, nevermind understand it. For millenia civilisations have been searching for it, and through their technologies they have become ever more powerful in their search, and Nexuiz must send it's soldiers into our world to defend itself.

There really isn't a big backstory, instead, Nexuiz is whatever you want it to be. Because there is no story anyone can make up their own which they are comfortable with. Even I have a little backstory that suits me and I think works for me, but that doesn't mean others would like my idea.

So, you make up the story individually.

lol. Let's hear it Maybe we like it.

For me it's the QUAD. A virus which gives you ultimate power...

In AD 2101, war was beginning. Xolar and Specop-Man came Across An Ocean. Having no jetpack to cross it, they decided to endmatch it and voted for Arena Automatica. In this place they killed each other 30 times, before they realized they were all Blue. Amused by that, they went on the quest for Bonus Arena, a magic room that gives everyone in it the power of endless motion without getting tired.

Their first station was the Bonus Carousel, but all they found was a trapdoor leading them into a room with no exit but a puddle of slime. Even after an extra Bonus Round, they still had no clue where Bonus Arena might be found. Obsessed with their Craze, they continued their search, and teleported into a big round room. Thinking they were near their goal, they read the inscription of one of the pillars, but it said they were just in Cupola Arena. Really bad luck for them... and they needed some sleep, so they called their friends on Das Tower if they could guard them from outside, and throw their enemies into Dave's AntiTower, a modern jail.

Outside Cuploa Arena, they found themselves near two Desert Castles, and entered the red one. There were a lot of traps in there, and they almost tripped into one, but in the last second they managed to evade the hot steaming lava. Inside the castle, they found a funny device with a screen and some buttons, called Advanced Tactical Combat Simulator, which is somewhat like a game console. Out of boredom, they switched it on and played The Secret of EVAD Project, LeMikee's Revenge and The Curse of EVAD Project. When done, they found a sticker on the simulator saying "Escape from EVAD Project never existed (and neither did Slime Pipe V). Having had their fun, they went back to word, and found themselves in the middle of 100 Fans pushing air in weird directions. To not get separated from each other, Specop (in the meantime having turned into Specop-Woman) attached her Hook to Xolar and took some of the Jetpacks and enough fuel to get to Frankish Tower.

After all the hectic, they were worried about their friends being there, but in case you have read carefully, they actually were safe in Das Tower, playing a bit Garden Roulette and Strip Poker, and there was nothing to worry. In the meantime, Evil Lair was replacing the floor tiles on the Greatest Wall, made some photos and put them in Hyper Gallery, where an art collection was held. The entrance fees were collected, as the Government had announced that for just 2 billion dollars, they were not going to fire their ICBMs at Norway.

Meanwhile on the Inter Space Station formerly known as MIR, a black hole sucked in a crate.

Crates, due to an unlikely coincidence, refused to materialize on Marbleness, but stayed in ghost form, haunting everyone who goes inside - but for their bad luck, nobody ever did.

Having found out about Xolar's and Specop's (now male again) quest for Bonus Arena, which will give them unlimited powers of jumping, the Masters of Nordic Castle and Opposing Castle mobilized their soldiers, who were caught drinking lots of Gin Pyconic, and began arranging them in a perfect Pentagon, their usual attack formation. Red Star Republic on the other hand took a neutral position in this war, as the war was about neither Oil nor Vodka.

On Roundel, a sack of rice fell over AT THE SAME TIME as when Sonic The Hedgehog tripped, fell into some spikes and lost all of his rings again. This is the seventeenth time when this happened to him, so he again began searching for them all Sideloop, felling slightly annoyed already. He'd really prefer running around somewhat like a Simple Arena, but for some reasons he's always put in big awful rooms full of loopings throwing him on spikes.

Xolar and Specop-Man continued their search, but the radio signal broke down. After a while, on December 25th, they were finally sighted again in a Snow Forest, still on their big quest for Bonus Arena. Only thanks to the almighty Hook, they didn't drown in the well, in which they fell three times (which hurt their head so much that they were thinking all the time of Hampton the Hampster dancing on Space Bubble, and almost forgot their quest). A guard dog from Spire Control called them and threatened to confine them to Star Bubble Arena if they don't give up their quest, but they said they didn't understand what the guy was saying due to all the noise. He hang up on them, and sent the same message by Technograph to them, where it finally was received and printed correctly. However, so close to their goal, they wouldn't give up their quest, even after getting trapped in the Maze of Terrace. When they finally got out, they saw that the guard dog indeed mobilized his forces: the Turrets of Tundra Magi were following them whereever they went and shot all the time, and if this wasn't bad enough, the soldiers from Nordic Castke and Opposing Castles were encircling them...

Suddenly, our heros saw themselves falling down a deep hole of Unfinished Tower, and started to hear weird beeping noises. They woke up, and said to themselves "phew, just a dream", while they packed together their clothes and a towel, opened the door of their bathroom and turned on the light. In an instant the door slammed, they saw the shower gone, and the wall tiles replaced by hundreds of blinking jump pads...

divVerent is officially the best bullshit generator I' ve ever seen.

Actually there is some sense, e.g., look who is the author of those maps.

Nexuiz is certainly related to the word 'nexus' which means 'link' or 'center'. Inside a sci-fi universe like Nexuiz', there are only two kinds of central links or whatever that are worth naming a whole game after:

1) A wormhole 'gate' hub.

2) An overmind (hivemind).

So we just have to pick one (or both).

EPIC.

Year 2847.
Various civilizations are living both in Milky way and Andromeda galaxies; They are living peacefully, nothing special is happening nowadays; These civilizations combat the rebels and pirates scattered in the galaxy.
Humans have expanded their civilization, they have erradicated all the wars and they concentrated this efforts on colonizing the galaxy. This way, they've met various other civilizations. And had various wars. The most notable and bloody was the human-Carni war (2620-2684); Humans lost three main colonies in this war, and the solar system was in danger; But humans managed to beat Carnis before they could attack humanity's main planets. They reached a treaty and peace in 2684.
One day, a colonizating ship "Humanity's treasure" started a new colony in planet Verdis. A year after they reached a sustainable colony a strange artifact was found. It was sent to Earth for study.
A team of scientists leaded by L.Vermeulen studied the strange artifact, they could translate the only message seen on it: "Nexuiz". They discovered that it was one of the remains of a powerful civilization; Luckily, the last survivors of the species were known. They were the Xolar and mulders. According to the wisest individuals of Xolar and mulder, "Nexuiz" was lost with most of that civilization, in a terrible civil war.
With the help of the CEO (P.Pielak) of At.Corp weapon manufactury, they managed to use it.
The artifact, created closed habitable spaces, where death wasn't possible; However, this spaces couldn't survive more than an hour, after this time, they dissapeared.
These spaces, called "maps" by the civilizations, had strange laws of physics. The military, overlooked the physics and used it for training, they could check that everyone could revive after being killed, even if parts of the body was scattered around the map.
Humans began to create "points" in the galaxy where there was a permanent Nexuiz game post. Every 20 Mins. they created a new map, and people joined the game. All kinds of people came for play nexuiz, they had fun, they could use the last tech in weapons, without harming anyone. Eventually, the other civilizations adquired this technology; And they created more Nexuiz posts.
When time passed, and nexuiz's technology became more advanced; new modes were added; Capture the flag, Keyhunt, Onslaught...

Uhm, It's that I left people stared of how wonderful is the story or no one don't comment because it's...

CRAP

Btw, I will extend it a little more.

This is not a nexuiz storyline ... but a usermade video storyline about quake3. Maybe this inspire some of you for some more ideas: http://www.tritin-multimedia.com/episodes.html

Ok, got a good idea of what might be. Not the story of what is nexuiz. But events, stories that happen in the world of nexuiz.

Perhaps something like this; ofc the intoduction would be seen in the video, not narrated:

The battle started around jupiter's orbit. 35 human ships were present.
The heavy class carrier "Mars fury" was boarded by the carnis.
Alarms started to sound, the ship's capitain gave a simple message "everyone prepare for combat, at your positions". Suddenly SPEC.OPS Squadron 204 was called to the bridge.
There were skirmishes everywhere of the ship. When the squad arrived to the bridge, the capitain gave them orders: "I want you to kill every sentient that didn't board this ship when we departed from mars, go to the main arsenal, take anything that you need, and start kicking those carni asses"; "Don't worry about us in the bridge, the defense turrets will keep those nasties away. If they pass, we've got enough shotgun shells for blowing an entire army."
The squadron headed to the arsenal. They started to analyze the weaponry:
-Baby, I'm gonna take this shotgun, wanna blow some heads away.
-Man, I couldn't combat without my electro. Balls, balls... Bye, bye! (laughs)
-Machine gun for me. Carni Gruyère anyone?

[blah, blah, blah]
