Those little words under your name... in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, January 12 2005 23:59 Profile Homepage #24 quote: Originally written by mung: 250! grr...ah...I can wait then:D I have an inspiration. And for it to work I need some of the old spidweb fogies to help me out with it. How about...now get this...an Exile Rpg...huh? huh? Ya see, we have a party and we go through the game.(Exile II of course). But to do this I seriously need the help of those who know the game far better then me. To be honest it's been a while since I played it. And, for a fact, I never finished it. Which is rather sad, I know that. but I've never finished a spidweb game. Sigh... Well, could some of you people help me? I'm talking to like. Drakey, Saunders, Aloreal, and all those others who know what their about. There is, of course, a limit to the number of people in a party so there may be another team doing the same thing as us. Who's with me? Limitations would be the same as the game. And no, you can't use the cheat with that gives you unlimited points...ha:D If I have people willing to help me then this sounds as if it'll go fairly well. And I don't think images will be limited to those in the game. You can have your own character description. And now that I think about it there should probably be little restriction on skills and what not. People get fed up with "leveling" and hey, this isn't D&D now is it:P free play is my type. So. yah, who can help me out? I shudder to think numbers might be involved in such an RP. Can't we get rid of the points/skills/levels entirely? They have no purpose when writing a story anyway, and when you can't exactly "win", then what good does it do to throw all those freaky dice damage scores around? They're only an excuse for people to write badly... Edit: Besides, it's technically impossible to use dice at all, without establishing a Game Master who decides on everything. And then where's the fun? [ Thursday, January 13, 2005 01:34: Message edited by: That drowned before the days began ] -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, January 12 2005 03:37 Profile Homepage #41 Ellipses (s. Ellipsis are three dots (or complete sentences) separating sentence fragments... or sentences. Actually I think it's the same word in German. They're used when shortening quotes, or when indicating a pause in speech. When writing online, it is easy to use them excessively because some tend to think in spoken words rather than written text while posting.

The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel within November, in 30 days. I wrote that much, but it's not finished and pretty much crap. Still, I plan on editing it. The parts I thought were readable are published at http://shadowsrising.blogspot.com But don't say I didn't warn you. :rolleyes: -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

It's not coming super quick. But anyway, we really haven't had a "successful" RP since I joined in June, except for maybe Valley of Thunder, which was pretty much complete by that time. I'd say we're about due, though I don't know if I'd want to join just yet. chokes It wasn't exactly... 'complete'. More like 'expired on the floor'. A bit sad, and perhaps the reason why we haven't had a successful RP since. The last I recall was "To Slay a Dragon", which went a similar way.
