Muv-Luv Franchise - Requests for new threads
Since the Total Eclipse/Muv-Luv forum is limited (only Mods and Admin can create new threads), this thread serves as a way to request a new thread to be created.
Please post here if you wish to request a new Total Eclipse/Muv-Luv thread. Please bear in mind that we will only accept reasonable requests, we wish to maintain the focus within the forum and cut down on the noise (so no pointless threads cluttering up the place). Don't forget that you may still post in existing threads as usual, the only restriction is that you may not create new threads within this particular forum. |

Hmmm... I'd like to make a request. Can we have a music and music videos thread? There are numerous well-made videos up in youtube that Muv-Luv fans might enjoy watching after reading the novels. The problem is that most of them are not safe for the anime-only viewers. There are also soundtracks that are worth discussing.

I'm not sure if this should count as a "new" request or not; but will the Kimi ga Nozomu Eien sub-forum remain where it is, or should its contents be integrated here?
Spoiler for KGnE/Muv-Luv connections:

The two forums won't be integrated, as there is so much old stuff in the other forum that doesn't need to be revived or revisited. Even though they're in the same broader universe, they're substantially different works. It can be understood that there is a connection between the two.

Would it be viable to create a threads for each major title of the series, to allow for specific discussion within that title? I'll list a series of the titles here.
Muv-Luv Extra Muv-Luv Supplement (its a continuation of MLE, but can be linked back) Muv-Luv Unlimited Muv-Luv Unlimited: The Day After (its a continuation of MLU, deserves its own thread) Muv-Luv Alternative Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles Chicken Divers Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles Rain Dancers Muv-luv Alternative Chronicles Adoration Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles Rebirth Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles Atonement Muv-Luv Alternative Chronicles Succession (All are short stories linked to MLA, suggest a thread to cover all these) Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse Muv-Luv Alternative: The Euro Front Muv-Luv Altered Fable Ayu-Mayu Alternative Schwarzesmarken (already has a thread) Owarinaki Natsu, Towa Naru Shirabe (its a somewhat prequel)

By "sub-forum", I assume you mean thread. This whole section is a "sub-forum".
I'm really not sure if we really need so many threads right now. Besides, the primary focus of this sub-forum right now is on the Total Eclipse anime (that's why it's in the Anime Discussion forum). I don't think it should be so drowned up with so many game threads. Is there really so much discussion on each of these titles that they all warrant a separate thread? (And Owarinaki is really only extremely peripherally related. I think it's a stretch to put it here.) So anyway, I'm going to hold off for now. We'll see what specific works really need a thread.

Sure, lets wait and see how much discussion appears. So far there's been some inferences and citations from these series, and I was just wondering if one or two more threads should be enough to cater to those wishing to discuss the side stories.
Lets see how the new threads do first though, seems to have done the job of diversifying the discussions into proper channels.

If anything I think the threads (not subforums), should indeed be made in this point of time, as the anime's episode by episode threads will bury them to the second page if there is no interest in these threads and the official games follow a format similar to fate, higurashi and umineko to name similar franchises.
If the anime makes people start playing the individual games, like , let's say some decide to play extra while others decide to skip directly to alternative, it would be great to have them separate. |

Regarding the split of the game thread... I'm personally still not decided about how to do it or the merits of the various approaches. So at the moment, I'm still thinking about it. Maybe someone else in the staff will have an idea of the best way.
Regarding the "cross-over speculation and discussion"... I guess I'm not too clear on how this will work here, even though I looked at Nanoha as an example. Could you post an example topic starting post that explains the purpose of the thread so I can get a better idea of what would be considered on-topic in such a thread?

Requesting for a Muv Luv Unlimited: The Day After Thread.
I'm going to be posting articles for updating the wiki and getting feedback, which will clog the general Muv Luv thread.

Well, I'm not necessarily sure that wiki articles should be posted here for feedback. That sort of discussion should occur on the Wiki itself, as is its design (Wikis have discussion sections too). So if that's the reason you think you need the thread, I think that probably doesn't belong here anyway, so...

Based on some chatter in the Image Thread, I'd like to suggest a "Survival in a BETA Infested World" thread.
The general gist would be discussion of life expectancy, survival strategies both serious and not, and how badly humanity is fucked.
