Zodai Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Tay will know Colekitt, he is the Archmage after all. @Zodai: All history is a story and the story of this thread is an epic one. From its humble origins as the Majikoi TL thread it has seen action (the divisions and fights it cause throughout the forums.) drama (its casting down into the G&C forum,) romance (Tiag x Ourai passionate hookup,) and tragedy (translator hospitalised.) When Tay said he didn't mind being the Dark Lord of the story, I inferred that he didn't mind being made the bad guy in a fantastically over the top way. But it will probably still need to reflect the history of the thread. That's just my take on it. Fair enough. I'm not entirely familiar with the history myself, so I suppose I just went with it. We'll have to wait for Tay's feedback to know for sure though >< Quote
colekitt Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Please tell me this isn't becoming a thing. what you and Tiaga that was a thing months ago Tay will know Colekitt, he is the Archmage after all. @Zodai: All history is a story and the story of this thread is an epic one.

But it will probably still need to reflect the history of the thread. That's just my take on it. well i'm fine as long as we don't get shut down I'll try to finish mine and keep it history based and maybe we can mix the two together when we finish. so far I'm at 547 they're at 970 Well well. I'm surprised to see you here. Edit: Ninja'd. I was referring to Rooke. works alot better if you leave the edit out as you may be able to tell from my avatar I'm also a ninja when i'm not being evil overlord or a santa that is in love. Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 @Kosaki - Well, certain people were worried the task was too tough so I promised to help out if things were not entertaining (I.E. things weren't fun.) So I've been keeping an eye on things. If things had gotten TOO bad I also promised I'd help with the writing but you shouldn't be having a problem with the word count now that Zodai is around. You just have to feed him information. The following is my interpretation and will need to be clarified with Tay. While you are constrained by historical events, I think you can have fun with the facts. Maybe Fuwanovel is a town - nah, boring. Maybe a magical academy - done to death. What about a kingdom? The Majikoi TL group was not a TL group at all, but a group of like-minded mages formed to study the environmental effects of constant demonic portals summoned within close proximity of the town. The casting down into G&C could be an exile for crimes fabricated by a villain. Tay could be an evil arch-wizard, or a benign king manipulated by evil advisors. I've interpreted the challenge to be recording the events of history, but loosely enough to have fun with. Ourai and Tiag would still be having hot passionate sex though. Describing their loving caresses could easily eat up a few hundred valuable words. Entire paragraphs even... FinalChaos, Nahichun and Kosakyun 3 Quote

If my current rush seems to be a bit too far from the goals of the crisis, we could always use it to inform things later, and we might be in need of a big fight scene regardless. Quote
Kosakyun Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Yeah. It does do good if you present the thread's history in a fun way. That's the main goal of the writing, I guess. It would just be downright boring if it was just a narration of the thread's history and what not. I mean, I haven't even been here for more than a hundred pages but it's been a fun ride. I'd like to know things that happened here in the past as well, but simply narrating them won't do any good for me. It'll just get boring. It's not a research assignment. With that being said, I like your idea. I hope Tay's okay with it. Besides, the bloody senators will have fun reading it as well. The thread's all about fun and roleplaying and being very random anyway. ...Maybe with a hint of Majikoi. I'll help if Zodai needs any help. <3 Especially with the TiagxOurai scenes. Simply because: Ourai and Tiag would still be having hot passionate sex though. Describing their loving caresses could easily eat up a few hundred valuable words. Entire paragraphs even... Quote

Simply because: I'm on a roll right now, actually. Just this fight alone might be a whole 5k words. Though I can't actually check it in google docs itself; I'd have to copy it over to Word Doc to check that. Quote

Kosakyun Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Let's wreck the 5k limit. Exceed, exceed, exceed! Quote
Kosakyun Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 No. I haven't viewed it myself. It would be nice to have the others type in their entries as well though... The UCW veterans should be narrating their story. <3 Quote
colekitt Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Does anyone know how far I am so far? 1164 how long can we go till we put history in? Quote
Zodai Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 1164 how long can we go till we put history in? I would rather wait until Tay comes along to edit that in, so we can get the rule clarification, but I would rather not have it simply exposit the information as it currently stands. Though it'll certainly be useful for guiding the story more accurately. A simple essay of the history not only isn't very fun/entertaining/'good' (Even if it's well-written, a simple essay usually doesn't stand up in the fact that they aren't meant to entertain.) but doesn't fit the fantasy-ish setting we've already got set up. So we'll probably adapt it in some way or another. Quote

None of the other writers are online aside from Cole, it seems... Quote

Zodai Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 This is exactly what I would suggest. As for the article itself, I could help in editing and writing a few hundred words. I'll write once we have decided the overall structure. Quote
FinalChaos Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I'm still going all-out on the main document right now. Remember to include me in the story too. I'll be the cool guy who sometimes randomly comes and helps the main group. Quote
Zodai Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Remember to include me in the story too. I'll be the cool guy who sometimes randomly comes and helps the main group. I'll consider it. I doubt too many people will get mentioned, but I'll do what I can. We're at about 1.7k so far, and about 1.4k of those seem to be mine. Quote
Kosakyun Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I'll consider it. I doubt too many people will get mentioned, but I'll do what I can. We're at about 1.7k so far, and about 1.4k of those seem to be mine. Wao. Quote
Zodai Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Wao. I'm a writer by trade. I don't have anything published, but it's nothing to scoff at. Not to mention I don't have to worry too badly about the quality with something like this - my initial instincts should suffice. Quote
FinalChaos Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I just checked and it turns out that I joined this thread at page 125. Now that I think about I feel pretty old. And if you consider the time I was simply lurking then I was around since page 20 or something. Quote

Zodai Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Don't worry no one does. This is the random thread after all. True. I guess we'll have to save it then. Quote
