Love it, even though it seems my PM didn't make it to you in time. The periodic table of spiderwebbers shows a slight discrepency. (may need a refreshing) Mariann does have carbon after all. (Oops, looks like she didn't get put on the large graphic, just the interactive chart. Sorry.) As for the making of the scenario, my two cents. If you want to see it done, then go ahead and start working on it. Ephesos, make towns reflecting each forum. Somebody (or many of you) take the script and work on dialogues. Plan a chat for discussing direction and for working out 'the party'. Somebody's gotta take charge and push it or it'll never be finished.

Act 10, Scene 4.

Well, this is finally it. The conclusion of Episode 2. Now all that's left is to put any final reviews in. Dikiyoba. Edit: Post 1700. Yay. [ Wednesday, August 09, 2006 08:59: Message edited by: Dikiyoba ] Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Utter brilliance. The only two things that could have made me remember would have been Aran declaring his undy... Aran talking to me ( :P ) or Stuggie. I think you out-did yourself with the characaturing (sp?) too. And the ending was deliciously Douglas Adams-esque... -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go?

My review: A clever and amusing look at the Boards and online forums overall. The characterization and storytelling skill are leaps ahead of its predecessor. [feel free to ignore the rest] I thought the climax was a bit abrupt. But hey, it was still a worthwhile saga to keep up with. -------------------- The Silent Assassin just started dancing for no particular reason. I'm scared. -------------------- -Lenar Labs What's Your Destiny? Ushmushmeifa: Lenar's power is almighty and ineffable. All hail lord Noric, god of... well, something important, I'm sure.

From the little of the Homeland demo I played, it seems that the full version would be a formidible weapon indeed... My two bits in Project DikiScen would be that reproducing the script exactly would be very hard. You'd have to script every action of every NPC so they act according to the script. Besides, a direct copy wouldn't be as fun. Maybe if we tried something different? Like every member who's interested submit one town featuring themselves and a minor quest, while several people coordinate a major quest and the outdoors (though outdoors might be scrapped altogether if the scen features the forums). Anyways, I'm tentatively in. Here's hoping I'll be at least moderately evil in it. -------------------- (Turns off auto-misspell-checker.) Posts: 1509 | Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00 |

I would have like to see Aran give the final stat report for this episode. Number of dead, number of revivals, number controlled by the thing, and number of plans to get the thing. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

...final reviews? How about "w00t"? That's really all there is to say.

Hey! You took that completely out of context! I was merely complementing the manner in which you ended the script. Completely in character with how I congratulated the opening of the script. It bookends quite nicely, don't you think? -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

quote:How lucky you can't ban people... ^_^ Meh, I guess it's all right. At least I got two whole lines in the closing scene, one of them even over 5 words long. I guess that makes up for the fact that there wasn't any mention of me even being in the closing scene apart from those two lines. Some deity you are, Diki. You ought to treat your cultists better than that. :P As for your review: "I read it to the end, then started again at the beginning. I needed to rinse the memory of the abrupt ending, see."

As far as stories go, it reminds me of Return of the King.

Okay, now that many people have had a chance to read the final scenes, I'm seeing that some of you think that the ending could have been better (which I agree with). But what do you think I should have done instead to make the ending better? Be specific as possible. This goes for anything in the story, really. What did people like, what did people dislike, what could have been improved? Participation is voluntary, of course, but Dikiyoba would greatly appreciate it.

Considering that it is only Episode 2 and that eventually there will be another episode, there needs to be some loose ends. Scrap scene 5 and 6 and end at 10.4. Then there's pleanty of room for the next sequel. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.
