A villain's motivation and justification (or lack of it) is very important. I'd rather see an old enemy with appropriate motivation than a new character without any.

I also enjoy being introduced to the villian(s) as characters with names and personalities, rather than just existing. This is probably rather difficult to do in a scenario, though.

Sometimes. I tend to slur or drop syllables/sounds when speaking quickly.

1-2 on weekdays, 2-3 on weekends. Add an extra hour or two for the script.

Dikiyoba will answer and then just ignore the troll. It will be angry, but the big goat will come eventually.

For some reason, I like the idea of calling TM that.

Arguing with Dikiyoba's self while speaking in third person would confuse even Dikiyoba. Everyone must have some sanity in their life.

Well, he gets banned from these boards, was killed in Dikiyoba's story, and is crucified in Slartucker's comic. Dikiyoba hasn't seen him cruficied yet, though.

I also notice that the Blades of Exile Forum shows "Bunker" (aka Eddie) even though his name is now permanently "&."

There is irony in this statement due to the fact that Wise Man has not died yet.

There is no new scene today. I've been thinking about Act 7, Scene 5 some. I came to the realization that I didn't like it and it didn't make sense. So I changed the last 6 or 7 lines of Scene 4 and rewrote most of Scene 5.(Sorry. Now you have to reread it. I apologize.) But besides the fact that I didn't like it, there's also another reason that it had to be rewritten:

quote:
Dikiyoba is alone in a small room, sitting at a desk, looking thoughtful.

Dikiyoba: Dikiyoba wonders what Dikiyoba will do today.

The ur-noob enters.

Dikiyoba: Oh no! What are you doing here? This isn't even part of the script.

Ur-noob: ACT SEVEN SCENE FIVE WAS SO LAME! IT WAS LOGICALLY FLAWED! THE PLOT SUCKED! THE WHOLE THING WAS STUPID AND IT WASN'T EVEN FUNNY!

Dikiyoba: So?

Ur-noob: SO IF YOU DON'T CHANGE IT, I WILL KILL YOU!

Dikiyoba: But Dikiyoba knows that you will kill me anyway. Why does it matter?

Ur-noob: IF YOU DON'T CHANGE IT, I WILL KILL YOU NOW!

Dikiyoba: Good point. Dikiyoba will change it.

Ur-noob: GOOD!

The ur-noob exits.

Dikiyoba: Well, Dikiyoba knows what to do today. Dikiyoba will rewrite Act 7, Scene 5.

Dikiyoba immediately grabs a pen and starts writing.

Dikiyoba thinks that Slartucker is implying that Tyranicus and TM are not alike. Although both of them have names that start with the same letter and seem to get killed a lot.

That was the Awakened's plan in G2. It tended to work out for them when Dikiyoba played G2, but apparently that's not the ending that was chosen to lead to G3.

Each section can only hold so many items, so don't put too many in one section. Other than that, it's a great strategy.

Uh...blue and a half? Jokes aside, the problem I'm running into is that it's difficult to work so many people into the script. So some people just very small parts. I intend for your character to appear in another scene or two, though I'm not exactly sure how. No, you aren't a flamer.

Originally by Slartucker:

Ok, that was brilliant. (Not to mention about ten times classier than the direction my strip has been going in.)
It's all due to the lack of poser models in my script.

I had been thinking about it for some time before I started it, but it was the creation of this topic that made me finally start writing it. I suppose that would make Eddie a catalyst. And that description fits him well.

Oh yeah. The next two scenes are out.

Many things. First, the next scene is out.

Second, I will try to get another scene out later, but that is likely to be a few hours from now. I will announce it here when and if it is completed, just like I always have (Hint to GIFTSKing).

Third, after having looked "boi" up, I can safely say that Dikiyo-boi will not be added to the list of acceptable variants on Dikiyoba's name.

Fourth, I did get your PM, Nikki. You can tell by looking at the status of it.

Fifth, Niemand has been added to the list of people who go to the Blades of Avernum Editor Forum. I had him in there originally, but his name was somehow lost as I rearranged a few lines during the editing process. Sorry about that.

Sixth...okay, Dikiyoba is finally out of things to say. There is no sixth thing.

Originally by Slartucker:

Dikiyoba, considering you did the exact same thing with my strip earlier today... is it really that scary?
I was going to say yes, because you had announced an earlier comic that I hadn't seen yet, and that's when I saw the others. But then I realized that GIFTSKing hadn't seen my earlier script. So no, it's not. Or maybe it's really scary that it happened twice in one day.

Originally written by Wise Man:

So far, who has the highest body count?
Dikiyoba's script, of course. The only one who is truly dead in Slartucker's comics is Slartucker. And he will come back. Once you die in Dikiyoba's script, it's all over.

Edit: Post number 777 on page 13. Those are lucky numbers!

The Geneforge games require that too. It must be just the way they are designed.

Dikiyoba had a difficult time getting Geneforge and Dikiyoba's laptop to be friends. But they finally found a resolution they could both be happy with.

The fact that you found it in ten minutes or so after it went up and before I announced it is a very scary thought.

Dikiyoba wonders where GIFTSKing has seen the GIFTS post. Dikiyoba hasn't seen anyone named "Spider" or "Chief Spider" post recently.

Act 7, Scene 3 is here.

This convenience, of course, is dealt with by having it be too dark to see what one is shooting at.

Originally by Slartucker:

Man, you're really building me up to have some kind of crazy nervous breakdown...
You mean you don't think you're there yet? I must apologize for making your character deviate from your personality. It's one of the many hazards of being a main character.

Oh, and I believe another of my "prophecies" has come true. Congratulations to Arancaytar. I have no idea what to do about Eddie now that he has been banned, though. Don't worry; I'll think of something.

Edit: Dikiyoba also went back and clarified that it was the 1337 h4x0rs getting killed and fleeing to the Exile Trilogy Forum, not the lurkers. No more confusion.
