I suppose I should actually read the previous episodes, as I found it a bit confusing. Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, 2007-02-06 |

quote:All right, Jeran, pay attention now. That post is spam. It contains no information or humor and is therefore useless. Spam ticks other people off when they read it. Spam makes it difficult for me to read through this thread for reviews or ideas, as well as increasing the odds of this thread getting long enough to break or have to go into a new thread, neither of which are good things. And spam got the Episode 4 thread closed before at least one person had a chance to comment on the final chapters. In short, your spam is interfering with the purpose of this thread, and I do not have the patience to put up with it this time around. So. Knock. It. Off. Yes, that sound you heard was Dikiyoba's patience snapping like a misfired rubber band, and Dikiyoba will be back with happier (or at least more mundane) announcements once Dikiyoba figures out where it landed. -------------------- Episode 4: Spiderweb Reloaded • Episode 5: Spiderweb Resistance Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, 2005-12-23 |

Actually, Jeran's post arguably contains humor. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, 2005-01-05 |

Diki, I am looking forward to seeing the result of the Ecksian Infiltration progress into a full war. The story already has a tense atmosphere. However, since I have not read the 4th episode since the last chapter came out I do not remember everything that is happening (I plan on brushing up). One last question is do you have plans for including any new characters this time around? Posts: 454 | Registered: Monday, 2007-08-20 |

Thanks Dikiyoba! I don't know if I'd remembered to mention it before, but I like the change to novel form; the scripts were nice but they just weren't as engaging in my opinion. I also quite enjoyed the busy atmosphere of the first chapter, and am looking forward to finding out what everyone, particularly myself, is doing. Posts: 627 | Registered: Monday, 2005-03-07 |

First, I've gone through Episode 4 and fixed a few tiny errors. (For instance, Ermarian changed places relative to Polaris between the beginning of the story and the end and "Balm of Life potions" can only have been invented by the Department of Redundancy Department.)

Episode 5? This is awesome! quote:I wonder if Nico is actually aware of having given Nikki her pencil. Edit: Or instead of wondering, I could just finish reading.

I should read the second half of Episode 4. The parts I did read where nice enough, and I want to know how it ends, so there you go. Posts: 3029 | Registered: Saturday, 2005-06-18 |

quote:See, I'm not even sure. I read it three times before posting the link, and couldn't work it out, which is very, very cool. It could be that Riibu is hoping I get killed by Nico for taking the pencil to get me out of the way, or else it could all be a misunderstanding. Or the two pencils could be different. If it is Nico's favourite pencil, well... ![]() My thoughts on the first chapter? I like how the scene is set. Despite there not being too many actual descriptions, I have no trouble imagining what everything looks like. The sense of darkness and foreboding, especially in the opening dialogue almost seeps through the words, and is very cleverly crafted. In fact, there's a level of tension that's maintained throughout, and that's no easy thing to write. I said that your writing style had developed heaps from Episode 3 to 4, and even in the short space of time from the start of Episode 4 to now, it's improved all the more. It's a testament to your talent that you can weave quite a serious, almost dangerous atmosphere through mainly dialogue. And it's even better than you can add a splash of humour (Synergy/Salmon (who else? )) without breaking that. I'm not going to rate it out of 5, or 10, since that's silly, and besides, this isn't CSR. But it's certainly good. I'm not sure if I've said this before, but you have a really lovely writing style.Anyway, that done, time for the real questions. So, where's Ecksian? The old Geneforge 2 Forum? Will Nico find her pencil, and forgive me if I do actually have it? Also, furries! I shall get my mask on, and fecth my pants from storage.

Has anyone ever considered transfering Episode 3 to the current occupational page of all four other Episodes? Or at the very least added a link to said area so we can all view said Episode without continuity errors? Posts: 942 | Registered: Sunday, 2006-10-08 |

One of the Episode 5 links on your site is broken (the top bar one). Quite possibly because the url is http://dikiyoba.ermarian.net/episode-5-spiderweb-reloaded instead of http://dikiyoba.ermarian.net/episode-5-spiderweb-resistance . Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, 2006-09-08 |
