Union Seven Datalines

To my surprise, it seems there still seems to be some members in this group. Either you're staying because you hope this could come back alive, or you're just too lazy to leave the group. Perhaps it's neither, and this group has a sentimental value to you.

If anything, it still feels good to have some people who care. If you're reading this, at any rate, you care for something about this group.

Now, I have recently finished Black Mesa Source Part 1 and downloaded its soundtrack. Both things are wonderful pieces. One of my favorite parts about the game was being in part of the Seven Hour War when the Xen jets are locked in an airfight. (Not much a spoiler.)

This had me thinking of how amazing (epic) the Seven Hour War actually was. I hope I'm not the only one when I say I would love to see the makers of BMS do a Seven Hour War mod.

Not only did thoughts about the SHW come across, nostalgia happened to me.

I realized, looking back at this project, that it could have lived through some extent if I had kept up with the budget. I know this because Hostell (oh yes, Hostell) did a bunch similar stuff we had already planned.

Examples of these are as such: City 8 (we had planned), powerful Resistance (though they tried not to, their Resistance far outnumbers their Combine), use of mechs (though we outruled that in our canon), overpowered Overwatch units (the equivilant of our BLITZ.), and used of the TNB packs.

And surprisingly, they lived with that for a bit. (Of course, playerbase and activity will trump over any amount of success.) They even used PAC 2. And although some people disliked it, it still happened. So yea, I apologize people. In hindsight, we were actually a step ahead, but (referring back to my follow-up), I was hesitant to put all these (at the time) outworldly ideas to the test.

I hope to have some amount of discussion with any surviving members here. We weren't big to begin with, but at least we were friends.

Shoutout to Spygass, btw.
