Storyline Woes

Wyv,
If there is anyway possible that would be great!

Then too, we may just need some insane evil character out there that is tortured by the "disembodied voices" that interrupt the actual storyline!
(Read my twist to the Nanobyte posts LOL!)

Hahaha! Let me know what you think!

Hey - I'm the one that pulled the daggers out of "your" eyes and set you on your feet again!

I'll see what I can do!

Wyv

Yes you did! LOL!
"I" am grateful for the chance to live again!
HAHAHAHA!
Thanks Wyv,
You're the greatest!

Moni: remember in the thread that Sazerac has already opened up the possibility that Monyka may be "redeemed"...I thought it would be an interesting twist. Unfortunately, until something occurs with all the fragmentation of the threads, I have put a moratorium on my posting any more to them until one is decided on.

This IS the nature of a "relay" story, after all...which I think was the point of the original one. Personally, I don't think Nanobyte's contribution yesterday was disruptive. It could have easily been an "aside" in the Shakespearean sense. (We KNOW the guy's not really saying that, but he's saying it for the benefit of the audience, wink wink!) But since that time, the thread has split X different ways and it's VERY hard to follow which one is which.

P.S. This post-gobbling board didn't help much, either!

hehehe

Okay - I think I've laid the "foundation" for Monyka to become whatever she wants to become!

Even surprised myself a bit in the process, but was fun!

Greetings everyone,

I'm really confused as to all of these posts about the storyline. The story itself seems to have over expanded into a collection of threads going in all directions. I really liked the idea of just having the adventurers going after the Ukabu brew, that alone was one adventure that would lead to another.

I think its great that everyone can contribute, but I think there are WAY WAY WAY too many things going on in the story. I think that one quest at a time is enough, perhaps all who write can help contribute to just one main thread?

If I read the story now, honestly I know what the @#$#$#$ is going on! Its really confusing and I had not wanted to write more until I saw that Elara had worked hard to clear some things up (again, thank you!).

I certainly would like to continue the tale of the Dragon Ukabu Brew, but can we not finish up that adventure first? I thought, once our heroic party solved that quest, THEN Shinwiki would present them with a new quest, ie then maybe they go to the Serpent Temple.

I just feel there are too many threads going on...and while everyone is welcome to contribute, I really loved the humorous aspect of the story and the idea of going for some killer Toad booze. I tried to keep that funny element going, but having it lead in one direction towards the Toads, not all over the place in utter chaos!

Like for instance, if I were to introduce a new character that was an opening for Wyv to step in (such as Monyka), it is totally lame to have someone stick daggers in her eyes before she can introduce herself (that really irked me something fierce!). And having a Gnome who loves ladies boots, well we all know who that was for! There is an undercurrent going here in the story, so if you're a newbie here, feel free to ask some of the forum veterans as they can tell you whats going on!

Maybe Wyv, Moni, Elara, one of you could be a story moderator....Wyv maybe we should move it to the forum?

I apologize if I seem anal retentive here, but I thought this was a great idea by Adam Mage, (perhaps he should be in charge, being that is his idea!!!), but its gotten way out of hand for me to want to write anymore....

Thoughts, answers, comments?

Many excellent points, Scronan!!

Maybe Slip could create a poll over on the archives to find out what the concensus of the writers/contributors is for the direction of the story/stories. We do seem to be going in many different directions which are not very compatable with one another - or easy to blend together.
The two main themes/plots that I see are: the wonderful boogre brew story line and a defeat Cet story line. Except that we have the same characters in both stories - this could almost just be divided to follow separate directions and goals.

Any other thoughts/comments???

Wyv

Kill off the unwanted characters! ; )

(PLEASE!) LOL!

P.S. We have to accept the fact too that this is a public forum and there will be posts meant to nothing other than disrupt.

We have a lot of things to decide!

Anyone for some basic ground rules?
First suggestion for those would be that if a character is created that resembles an actual poster to the board, posters to the thread must have that person's permission to do anything odd/strange to that character.

Should we split the stories?

Is there any real reason we're limited to 6 members to a "party" of adventurers just because that is the limit in the game?

Do we really want to "echo" the actual game's plot or were we hoping to explore newer territory?

For myself, I find that many times I am waiting for a post by a particular contributor because the ball seems to be in their court - i.e. I don't want to mess with the plot lines they have started. I enjoy continuing them but there just seem to be times when it is really appropriate for one person to make the next post. (shrug)

I'll probably think of more later too!
