:eek: There could be a best anonymous scenario contest. We would never know who won, but we would know which one was the best. It could be just a secret recognition thing... :rolleyes: -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh.

Good point. Well, that's one Kelandon scenario we won't be seeing in the near future. -_- (History teaches us BoE'ers that talking about one's scenario seals its fate.) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

If I'm not mistaken, *i isn't afraid to talk about his scenarios before they are released (judging from the 1239572394 "Gallows Update" topics over in the ancient threads of the Lyceum). Therefore I shall not fear either. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Well, I did it for IoB, although that was partially the point of the scenario... -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Actually, someone could make a site with anonymous scenarios. I'm thinking about someone who has a rather large amount of space - some scenarios take serious MBs. It could be done with aa upload form or just by mailig the maker of the site, and he'd do the putting manually. As for the anonymousity and the contest, people could add a hidden signature somewhere in the scenario. Like, say, an encoded chunk of text somewhere in the readme which, if he/she wanted to reveal, he/she could just post a decoding mechanism. Was I clear? Say something if I wasn't, I can't tell really. -------------------- I am pleased to make contact with your entities. Posts: 123 | Registered: Sunday, July 7 2002 07:00 |

I suspect that most scenarios that the designer doesn't talk about never get finished either, it's just that we don't hear of them. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. New Mac BoE Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I'm going to make a scen based on the Athurian legends (For those who don't know what that is: the sword thingy stuck into the rock stuff) I am really having problems with the scripting part. You know, dialog nodes that don't show up, special encounters that fail to work, and stuff like that. My sister was supposed to help me. :rolleyes: ...but she didn't. The scenario will start when you jump onto a ship that leaves for som strange island called Brittania (<wink><wink>, <nudge> <nudge>), where no-one has ever heard of any such place as the Empire lands, or Avernum. I will go by my own interpretation of the Arthurian legends, 'cuz I'm making the scenario, not you, over there behind the screen.. :P Anyway, I've only made two towns so far, and they are incomplete, since you can not talk to anyone, but I estimate it will probably be ready by my next birthday, (in a year or so) unless I get bored of it. -------------------- -Step aside, worthy adversary! -T'is but a scratch! -A scratch! Your arms off! (pause) -I've had worse! -You liar! -C'mon, you pansy! (Fighting continues.) -Allright. We'll call it a draw then. -Oh I see. Running away are we? You yellow bastard! Come back here and take whats coming for you! I'll bite your legs off!

I think one of the issues is that if you spend too much time talking about the scen and not enough time making it, then it won't ever get finished. I pretty much have the first half finished right now, and I have a town-by-town and plot-point-by-plot-point outline of the rest of the scen, so I'm not too worried about finishing this thing. The only question is when, and that, I don't know. Whether I will finish any of the other scenarios that I have in my head, well, that's another question. :P -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
