Oh wow. This scenario must be good, since I didn't understand the plot at all. A bit short, but that seems to be the trend these days. Posts: 353 | Registered: Monday, January 9 2006 08:00 |

It's better than RLY and Foul Hordes. Ephesos: It is a legitimate scenario, though I'm using the term 'legitimate' very loosely.

It is certainly more legitimate than RLY.

Guys? Every line in that scenario is taken from lyrics by Radiohead, like "Black Star" for example. It's a very good song, by the way.

Diprosopus: I have it on excellent authority that if you press "Wait" a total of 81 times, the actual scenario will start. And it is glorious. Posts: 8752 | Registered: Wednesday, May 14 2003 07:00 |

Paying homage to Faust, I played this again. I waited 90 times. Nothing. [ Wednesday, April 02, 2008 00:03: Message edited by: Leeroy Jenkins ] -------------------- Nikki's Nook - forget about your house of cards, and I'll deal mine. Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

Still though, the designing (how little it may be) is nice, I think. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Thank you Thralni. This isn't an April fools joke, it is a real scenario. I guess if anything, the joke is that people thought it was a joke. I feel I should explain why I released it. I have played many Blades of Exile and Avernum scenarios, and in a lot of them you spend a lot of time doing nothing, under the guise of a mission. So, for example, you are told to go to point a, collect item b and take it to point c. As a player all you are doing is clicking on the keyboard a lot, and it isn't demanding any attention. Also, there are no scenarios where you literally do nothing, and are told that you have no role to play in the scenario. So I made "Phew for a minute" (which is a line from a song ^^) which forces you to do nothing, apart from waiting. If I had to give it a genre, I would call it "visual poetry", but that is only because I read a really good book on the subject a few days before I wrote it. It's not meant to do anything apart from make people pause and think, and I promise for my next scenario which I am making, it willl be much more interactive ;) Posts: 2 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2008 07:00 |

Perhaps here's the fault - it's just a little too oblique for the average SWer? -------------------- Nikki's Nook - forget about your house of cards, and I'll deal mine. Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

Yes. As a matter of fact, I'll go so far as to say that you're still qualified even if you haven't heard of the scenario before. -------------------- "NOW PASS ME MY BOOTS.
