Pick up A Hack

This looks like a great Idea but I can't see this getting very far...
 
Like I said, give it a bit of time and then we will find out.
People are all good at different things. Some people are creative geniuses and can come up with amazing story lines and plots. Others are brilliant hackers but can't think of a plot to save their life. This is where a hopeless hacker can post a great story line and creative-failure can pick one up.

Plus, any abandoned hacks can be posted here, so they aren't just sat there, while all the effort someone put into it is just wasted.
 
This thread seems like a good idea. You might want to go hunting for abandoned hacks in the Progressing Hacks forum and see if you can get permission for the picking up of them to be advertised in the thread.

It seems to me that the people interested in starting hacks are the ones with story ideas. (Look around the Scrapbox forum and that's what you'll see.) They have a plotline, but not the skills to turn it into a finished hack, and they need scripters and mappers to help out.

Likewise, the people who would be interested in picking up an abandoned hack are probably those who have the ability to write a storyline, not script it. The people attracted to this thread will be those with no chance of finishing a hack on their own. So, it probably won't get far. :|

Now, if you want to volunteer storylines for other people to use, that's different. The Fanfic forum has something like that - plot bunnies, they're called.
 
It's really bad and awful, like Pokepal said, it IS pointless.

What are PMs for if you do this?
 
Oh yeah, because all PM's are good for are asking people can you take over their abandoned hack.
