Internet is expensive, so no. With the wireless dongle I'm using, it works out to about $8 per gig. Ack, I forgot about IRC. I'm not usually a talkative person, though, so if I sign in it's just going to be long periods of silence interspersed with moments of awkward conversation. You really need to conscript more people. Kidnap them, if you have to. You may get arrested but at least you'll have people to talk with online when you're in prison.

Make it an award, and you can add it to the others you have

Consoles aren't the problem. Internet's expensive in Australia, and I connect with a wireless dongle which means it's really expensive. So I don't play games on line. You guys have fun, but I won't be able to join.

You played Scheherazade? It's probably the best english VN I can think of, in terms of writing and depth of gameplay. Not many people know about it though, it doesn't get advertised as much as Winterwolves and Hanako because Black Chicken Studios comes more from a sim/rpg background. However, if you're looking for sim gameplay, one of the first Indie places you look is Black Chicken Studios, and if you want that gameplay wrapped in a VN exterior, you get Scheherazade. *Ends sales pitch*

There are also English VNs, much better than Dysfunctional systems, that are not on your list. Which is the reason I brought it up

Dysfunctional systems is an english VN, not a translated one.

I just selected 5 topics at random to follow, and the member of the month still shows up. Back to the drawing board. Now excuse me while I go and unfollow all the threads I just followed

Ideally, writers develop character in scenes which move the plot forward. That way you don't get a Little Busters scenario where large chunks of the game are just the characters stuffing around.

Bloat. Scene after scene where nothing happens. Key, I'm looking at you.

I don't think you're going to like Kud's route much.

If you hated the game, why did you force yourself to finish it?

Don't feed the gremlins after midnight

Sakura wars

I'm not sure I like the idea of being given an award just for signing up (the 12, 13, 14 award). Making the awards rarer makes it more significant when you receive one, whereas if you get an award just by signing up it devalues the system.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I still think you're being too generous with your praise, though. And sorry Charmed, I went a little bit too far with that accusation. Oh, and regarding the song, I can guarantee you'll like the version which is revealed later on even better

I'm always in the minority on this topic, but I love the cold. It's invigorating, and at night you get to snuggle into bed and feel all cosy. And I'm blessed with good genes so I rarely get sick *does little dance* In summer, I feel so lethargic. all the energy is sucked from me, I can't breathe and at night I collapse into bed feeling all uncomfortable and can't sleep. I also have EPP, so if I spend too long in the sun (like driving), I spend the next 3 days in agony. I went out once in 40C weather recently for half an hour, and was incapacitated for the next 3 days. Took a week to fully recover. *Sigh* . So I spend summer hiding away indoors. More heat next week *double sigh* .

I don't understand why people get so angry over climate change denialists.

+1 I don't do well in hot weather

So here's the scene. It's only half-way edited. I haven't finished editing the scene because it needs to be rewritten for the novella and therefore motivation to edit and polish is low. Still not happy with my prose. Especially my second paragraph. And the third. And the rest of it. Try not to expect too much. Charm completely over-hyped it. It's not that good. That's actually worth repeating. DON'T expect too much, it's just a gag scene and Charm COMPLETELY over-hyped the thing. It's a story vaguely related to ear hygiene, which were the exact words Charm used when I accepted the topic. So it is very vaguely related to ear hygiene. Oh, and the scene was only half-way done.

Hey Down. Your award for being a member of the staff is an image that symbolises you've been wounded and sent to hospital. It looks kinda weird.

Whoa, how old is this topic?

The blonde lady who sang that song?

Lol it's fine. My fault for not posting it on this thread in a timely manner. The story was good, Wink. I liked it very much. Question: The scene I'm writing will be expanded into a novella in the future, and posted on a website I'll make. You guys don't mind if I dedicate it to you 3, seeing as you gave me the idea for it?

Wayyyy too much hype Charmanderson. It's much better to say the story is shitty, that way any little thing will impress .

Check your PM. Unless I've stuffed up and typed the wrong recipient in ...
