I accidentally stumbled upon this Wesnoth.org forum post this night while searching for suspicious (read: spammy) activity — which gave me the following idea:

<shadowmaster> I have an awesome idea
<shadowmaster> let's take UtBS, IftU and AtS (and optionally TSL) out of Wesnoth-UMC-Dev
<shadowmaster> let's go big
<shadowmaster> let's create a separate OSS project for them
<shadowmaster> game engine included
<shadowmaster> let's strip Wesnoth of all the shit we don't need and build a better engine
<shadowmaster> for Project Y.
* Espreon chuckles
<shadowmaster> DEAL? [Y/N]
<shadowmaster> We could even take Aethaeryn 's Thunderstone with us
<shadowmaster> think of it
<shadowmaster> "Project Y: Thunderstonecraft"
<Espreon> Someday Ignacio, someday. We don't have enough minions at the moment.

I think this is a possibility I never considered before, and a fabulous idea which I should steal, in good old Shadowmaster tradition.
If you want to make this possible, join the IRC channel ##shadowm on chat.freenode.net with your favorite IRC client, or use one of the links below!
In case you can’t tell, this is a joke.
