Hey @Jacqueline Hyde about a interactive game well there's one coming up March 10th it's called To Steal or Not to Steal and believe me it's a choosing your own path for Carmen Sandiego's sake in order to save Zack and Ivy by stealing something for VILE's sake...yikes! Play along or say goodbye to Zack and Ivy because they're going to be end up as VILE Operatives...I rather see the third season of Carmen Sandiego instead.
yep. Here it is..... Carmen Sandiego Is Going Back to its Roots With a New Netflix Game

"The Netflix show fleshes out Carmen (voiced here by Gina Rodriguez), V.I.L.E., and other characters a lot more than the '90s cartoon or games did, without entirely trading away the educational content for spy thriller plotting. Also, if you're on the older side and demand to be pandered to, the trailer for To Steal or Not To Steal does end with a reference to Rockapella's Carmen Sandiego anthem. "

Okay the game looks like it might be fun....gonna give it a try. I haven't had an opportunity to check out one of the new Carmen Sandiego games in a really long time so this isn't one I'm gonna pass up.

I’m with Lucy, they made Zack and Ivy an even lower common denominator. I didn’t think it was possible but a game is a game, even when its a marketing gimmick.

yeah it's definitely a marketing gimmick, it won't ever come close to the original games or series and I think they know that. But at the same time I missed the newer games like the one from Facebook? and "Think Quick Challenge" and the one where you had to have all the gear to even play the game on the PC. So I've kinda been itching to see what they're doing with it....I did happen to play one but I can't remember the name of it @Tenchi Masaki . I remember the ACME agent Hawkin's was working with Julie or "Jewel's" and he really annoyed me 'cause he only cared about his gadgets. Plus at the end he grabs Carmen's arm. Dude. Peronal Space much? No wonder Carmen got a little aggravated at him...

Eh, I wouldn't say lower common denominator at least as far as the series goes but yep, the game certainly sounds like it does that.

Oh I know that game it’s Treadures of knowledge I occasionally watch the Stolen Drums play through and that came up in the feed so I watched it. I think it’s an sequel ish to the Stolen Drums game and I can’t stand Hawkins gadget dependency either:D

I think despite the marketing spin it's not actually a game, but an interactive episode - which is how it was originally described - like Netflix commissioned for Black Mirror.

As for season 3, it's probably forthcoming. This is the last of the 20 episodes Netflix commissioned to begin with.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
