I had a pet garder snake when I was a kid. Of course, it was an outdoor pet and it ran away two days after I found it, but that was a fun two days. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

I think I know who that snake will come after first. It will either be me, Zeviz, or Andraste. Since we all visited the SubTerra forum recently... EDIT: My keyboard has a massive grudge against the letter Z. Therefore, Zeviz came out as evi. :) EDIT 2: quote:Very quickly. I know this from personal experience, and a very 'friendly' blue racer.

I was rather surprised to find part 3 complete... its announcement (or rather, lack thereof) was even more surprising.

Actually, it would be interesting to see -X- in one of the next chapters. Even if he was just used as snake bait. But at any rate, he would add a new element to the story. Whether that's good or bad is yet to be seen. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

By my reckoning, -X- has acrued enough 'personality' for inclusion in a DikiScript. -X- may not be pleased by the results, however. (Note to -X-: there's no special prize for getting 50 posts. I just think someone should inform you of this so you don't spend the next few weeks anxiously checking your mailbox like I did.) I'm kind of curious how I'm going to screw up with the snakes. I do have an excuse this time when it fails: despite familiarity with mammals, birds, and amphibians, I really don't have much daily contact with reptiles. It's hard to find a snake where the four seasons are winter, winter, winter, and construction. -------------------- Another post, another DikiStat. This one attempts to determine the eloquence of each member by finding the average number of letters per word. It didn't quite work as expected: the Silent Assassin's one line of "Holy Flaming Reaperdisks!" in Episode I and the Ur-Noob's one line of "HAHAHAHAHA!" in Episode II kind of threw off the average.

It's always interesting to see how newbs and noobs alike are represented in the scripts/stories. Oh, and Dintiradan?

You should pick an element Nicoa. *consults Periodic Table* How about Astinate. You say your scripts are useless and Astinate basicly is. I wish I chose that one. Acctually, neither of us have been in any of the stories before. We are both equally expendable. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

Actually, I dropped the useless a little while ago. Besides, Elitenpc is far from useless. However, I think I'll choose Palladium, because it is a very bizarre element, like me. It also applies because my strength is mental, not physical. And also because I could stand to lose a few pounds. And in case you're interested, you can find the script I mentioned at my site, via the link below.

Palladium is also use in Catalytic converters and dental crowns. That's an interesting combination. -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

Even the Ur-Noob was posthumously assigned an element, Nioca. You're not in any trouble. Although, randomly killing people off does tend to get old very quickly. -------------------- The Silent Assassin disagrees with the latter statement. I won't argue.

Well, I do tend to be a bit of a catalyst here, and if I told you I haven't had dental work, I'd be lying. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

Meh, I look forward to the day that I die in the story... as the stock healer, I can probably only be revived by my element. Until then, I'm stuck making sure you lot stay alive. :P -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Originally by Arancaytar: quote:I expect this will take more than a month to write. Besides, I don't really like worrying about deadlines and word count. (And I came pretty close to writing a complete and fairly lengthy story in September anyway.) --- Originally by Ephesos: quote:I already had the last post in this thread when I put Chapter 3 up. So I waited as long as possible in hopes that someone else would post, and then forgot to edit my post before I left for the night. --- Originally by -X-: quote:Arghhhhhhhhh! Too many graemlins! Eyes burning! --- Dikiyoba loves all the speculating. Keep it up. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Ah! Ambushed and killed, and in my ideal environment, too (cold). That was rather disappointing. Oh well... *begins researching resurrection through cryomancy* Other than that, it is still a good source of insanity/spam-based entertainment.

Something major I just noticed. In the previous stories, whenever a member died, Arancaytar would know about it immedietely. So wouldn't he know about Zephyr Tempest dying? -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

Very easy. Have you noticed how the Endeavor site is behaving lately? http://endeavor.ermarian.net/member/1 Until that's fixed, I'm getting false positives from everyone, so I can't notice any specific deaths. :P But I'm working on it as fast as possible. -- On a "serious"(?) note: In episode 1, I'm noticing character deaths immediately because I magically do the stats in my head. Now that I'm back to using the computer, this effect probably stops. But plot explanations like that are best left to Dikiyoba.
