Seems as though March is the 15th anniversary of Freedom Force. To celebrate, we ought to have a challenge... but of what? I mean, a Saint Patrick's Day Challenge would be a little tame, as would an April Fool's Challenge (both of which I intend to issue anyway).
So, I open the floor to suggestions.
How about redesigning the Freedom Force Characters using just the Irrational Meshes?
My vote is for something FF themed. In fact....well...we'll see.
Free BOOZE!!

Yep, so long as you pay for it.
Okay, one vote for something generally FF oriented, one for redesigning the FF characters, and one for free booze.
It's been a long time since I've had a drink, but after the way the last two days have gone, I think I'm going to second DJ's suggestion.
WOOHOO!! FREE BOOZE!!!
Yeah, Freedom Force themed is pretty much the go to. That or redesign Community avatars?
The original FF was made in Australia, we could always go that route.
Actually, I do have a particular suggestion. I propose that we list the FF3 characters that-never-were and everyone can choose one and try to bring him or her to life. Some of them have already been created, but there are a ton that haven't.

Folks could also create their own 70s flavored character to join the cast.

You just want me to not have free booze.....
If I recall, you were the one having to buy. :P
Hey, we do have two votes for free booze.
If DJ's buying, I'm definitely casting my vote for that.
We all know that if I end up buying..then I'm just going to knock over a liquor store or three....

I like this one a lot! That was my inspiration behind making Sea Urchin on a seahorse.

Don't know if I can fully commit, but I like the idea.
I can only commit to booze...
Booze and FF for me! :P

If only I could figure out what kind of horrible, unspeakable black magic I performed to get you to create awesome stuff for me.... :lol:
It only works three times, BG. After that I become immune to that spell!

This gets my vote.
I'm not a drinker so free booze is no good to me, although I could use it to sway the skills of other skinners :D
Skins for booze, sounds like a campaign offer :lol:
Count one more vote for 70's FF.
Awesome! We should have folks start signing up for individual characters if people are interseted. I think team-ups would be quite fitting.
Characters that have already been done:
The Ant
Bullet
El Diablo
Sea Urchin
Liberty Lad
I think that's it.
Folks could do the characters from the concept art, or they could invent their own 70s versions of other FF members/villains.
Someone has done Youngstar, and Lord Emshiddey's Manbot Basic might make for a good start on the '70s version of the character. Primordial and Shifty would probably take whole new meshes.

Eve?
Panther is right.
Irrational made an Eve 70's, so we can scratch her from the list.
I don't think I ever saw a 70's Liberty Lad/Son of Liberty, Benton. Who did him?
What?!? No free booze?!? NOOOOOO!!!
Free booze is not ruled out yet.
Area34 did Gold Fang as well as some sweet ninja minions for him.
They used to be on the Champions site.
D'oh! I have all of those things, and I still forgot them! Sorry guys; I guess I was in a hurry and got stupid for a minute.
Yes, so:
The Ant
Bullet
El Diablo
Sea Urchin
Liberty Lad
Eve
Gold Fang and minions
Youngstar
JJ, CmdrKoeing did Liberty Lad, if I recall correctly.
DG, I'm thinking that Primordial and Shifter could probably go on Sandman and Mr. Fantastic, or the like.
Nice challenge, guys! Looking forward to see the results. :)
Thinking about it, I had started those Thugs a while back. Would that count?
70s flavored thugs? I think that would be great!
I've already done youngster, I'd like to do thunderclap please :D
Skins for booze, sounds like a campaign offer :lol:

This needs to be printed on a shirt. And we'll all get one and wear it in our hometowns as people wonder the heck it means. A meme is born!
Booze! Booze! Booze!
I think we need to check with characters of the list are still available. With so many sites down, I'm afraid we may have lost some of them.
I'll re-upload my "Teen Urchin" skope to my Yahoo Group, since FRP2 is down.
Are we doing this?
I had updated the 3 Thugs that I had previewed earlier, but never quite finished the others. I can upload those if you guys want.
I most certainly won't say no :P
I still say free booze...esp those who were there at the start! BOOZE!!
Okay, what about this:
We do Freedom Force For All Time. As well as the FF3 concepts, do even more modern versions of the characters (got me an idea for a pouchtastic Minuteman 1995), or older versions of the characters: 1950s (or '60s... or '70s...) versions of Blackjack, The Bard, or Blitzkrieg. Then again, one of my favorite meshes is called Rogue 1960, so why not do your own avatar as they might have looked in the Silver Age. Other things such as a "new" (1970s) FF mod, or maybe a jive-talking motherless freaking son of a mod, or an old west/martial arts mod.
Deadline, May or something. Free booze for DJ.
