Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, October 26 2005 23:40 Profile Homepage #7 An unmarried marriage counselor might well be "living according to his own advice". :P Edit: While you can make that argument for TM: I have written poetry. Crappy though it is, that doesn't disqualify me from judging it. I know bad poetry when I see it. :P Btw, the "An Artist's dream on a revolving door" would be a wonderful line if you followed up on that metaphor or explained it in the following lines. It's a perfect iambic pentameter. Just if you were to write the rest of the poem like it, it would be great. Actually, that holds for most of the lines. Each could look good in another poem, but as it is it seems a bit disconnected.

My Nanowrimo Novel - Vahnatai stuff! in Blades of Avernum
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, October 26 2005 22:30 Profile Homepage #0 [Title changed to reflect new topic purpose] Bok. Yes, the Vahnatai title/rank. quote: Drakefyre says: The title "Bok" is rarely given other than posthumously. Only the greatest Vahnatai can be given this title. Nearly all Crystal Souls are given the title "Bok" as they guide and advise their people in their waking and Resting years. "Rarely", but it is not strictly ruled out. I am sure that I have seen a living Vahnatai referred to as "Bok" somewhere in E/A 2. Is the "Bok" more a fast track to becoming a Crystal Soul than an actual description of one? Can a living Vahnatai ever be titled Bok, and does this imply they will become a Soul once they die?

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, October 26 2005 20:23 Profile Homepage #4 TM was relatively lenient - relatively to the poem, and to TM. :P Poetry is a far less forgiving medium than prose. It's much easier to produce toe-curling content using the former. While this poem wasn't quite toe-curling, it needs practice. Until then? Hide it. It's what I do. You can't make good poetry until you've produced tons of first crap, then bad stuff, then mediocre works. However, showing these results to an audience can result in a lot of discouraging feedback. --- Oh, by the way: Meter can occasionally forgive a lack of content, in a poem. Powerful language can sometimes make up for a lacking meter (or be enhanced by it). To use that, though, you first need to understand how both work. For now, you'll have to use the standard ingredients for style: Rhyme, inflection, meter, metaphors, etc. [ Wednesday, October 26, 2005 20:24: Message edited by: 4000 ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

"Heirs to Thesis"? in Blades of Exile
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, October 26 2005 20:05 Profile Homepage #8 Heirs to Thesis is actually an interesting scenario title. Not the least because it combines the titles of an Alcritas work with a future TM work. :) (Assuming TM does call it "Echoes: Thesis". In the context, I wasn't sure) [ Wednesday, October 26, 2005 20:26: Message edited by: 4000 ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Flash I have no idea about. But I remember several internet flash games with a highscore list stored on the server, which would imply that the game sent back some information to the server. TM: We'd be laughing if he'd set it up and asked us to join it. There is irony in repetitive stupidity. :P But right now, he's asking about the technical aspect, and apparently that's an interesting subject. Edit: Corrected.
