Privacy will be easy compared to the toilet itself. A privacy screen is quite simple to rig, relative to a zero-gravity toilet.
I have no idea how to do this, aside from trying to get ahold of one already in existence and manufactured for another spacecraft and bolting into place as best we can. Designing one, with an engineering team roughly equivalent to one engineer (possibly one drunk engineer) and two weeks to work in, is out of the question- it wouldn't work the first time barring miracles of MAD SCIENCE even by MAD SCIENTIST standards, and we don't have time for much trial and error.
FYI guys I'm leaving for a week long field trip in Spain in a few hours. I may have interweb access, I may not, so don't expect contributions from me this week

Can I join? I now kinda get the theme of a TGOD and how to participate; I'll try not to screw up the thread like I did with the Tropico thread *cough*
If I can join, I think a good place for me to join in without bringing in anything significantly new would be to be one of the things in the basement, as nobody has actually said what they are yet.

Throughout the Easter weekend, I have come to realize posting in this thread has become a chore. And obviously it was not devised as a chore, but a pleasant distraction. Through the weekend it has come so far that I have avoided reading the thread altogether, going "meh".
Adding to that, increasing demands on my time here on the board and elsewhere have made it significantly more difficult to actually put together coherent posts, and led to longer and longer delays between stuff happening.
So...I figure it's time to end it. I would propose an "indefinite postponement until inspiration hits again", but let's be honest here: only an incredibly small percentage of "suspended" STGODs actually see a continuation.

It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small. - NEIL ARMSTRONG, MISSION COMMANDER, APOLLO 11

Oh well, I was getting unfunny and all-business anyway.
Still though, it was a fun attempt. Perhaps part of the problem is too many random people joining in and needed to be kept track of (and the people that hang in once or twice and then disappear)?
Either way, thanks PeZook for the fun already provided.
Credo!

If we ever do anything remotely like that again, I will analyze the problems and try to come up with solutions.

But sure, why not. It would be interesting to see.
P.S.
The CAPITALIZATION was not RANDOM.

Yeah, I would volunteer but definitely not now (and not sure that I would be the best candidate anyway: I think we would need someone with a better sense of humour). I have school-leaving exams in the next week and the weeks to come.
Still though, I don't want to let this die without at least trying to see whether we can keep it alive a little longer, we were just about to start making a serious business and all.
Credo!

It had a good run. Given how much time I have kicking around right now, I would volunteer to keep it running, but I won't be able to start until this coming Sunday.
Also, I doubt I have PeZooks humorous writing skills. But I'll give it a go if people want this to continue.

Since it's semi-officially over now, I feel like now is the right time to ask: what direction did you originally see this going in? What did you figure that we might do?
Because I know from my own experience that those predictions are almost never close to what actually happens.

Well, I envisioned it as an actual Let's Play, where a bunch of players who barely know anything about spaceflight would make decisions on what to do with the spaceplane and when.
Actually I based it on MUDs: I tried to keep the RANDOM CAPITALIZATION to NOUNS and ADJECTIVES like OLD MUDS did due to LIMITATIONS of DATA STORAGE.
It drifted a bit, yeah, but was never random

I'm actually quite surprised that when I asked if I could join, nobody started yelling at me

Why would we do that?
Well, there was a thread a while back about SDN taking over the government of Tropico and setting up a new one. I completely missed the "theme" of a TGOD, and basically started spamming random stuff. Then Thanas got angry at me and I created basically a carbon copy of the thread on another board.

I would take it on, but it may be difficult to remove myself as a player, seeing how I'm the pilot and all.
I can give it a try, if you guys want me to.

Why would you need to remove yourself as a player? I mean, the... author?... of the thread controls several people already (the dog, Tropical Beauty, the hobo, the owners of Okhtosk).
