Even if that ends up not being the case, I wish you the best of fortune.

Player hasn't had much to contribute to this thread since he likes Country and Video Game Soundtracks.

Recently, though, he's discovered a love for something so horrible that it has to be mentioned....
Nightcore
Go ahead and shoot him now. I won't get in your way.

Seriously though, he's listened to various playlists on Youtube (since Nightcore is mostly remixes he doesn't have a good source for them just yet) and he recently settled on the four collections by this guy/gal to be the best. And by best he means both decent and CLEAN at the same time. Seriously, you'll be shocked by some of the lyrics people try to get away with.

Which is the reason I used the term fixing. Not because DoW itself is broken, but because what we're using it for is like trying to put an entire football team on a single bicycle or something.
Raf_Cian from Crimson Flag chat, 10/26/13

Yes, this is my player quoting himself using his character's as proxies. Still the best quick quot he can give you. If you want a quote not from him and don't care if it's quick, he can give you an excerpt from My Life is Super.

Can't.
My player lives in Florida.
Snow has a restraining order against us.

It's OK Dragyn. You have actual real life issues plaguing you right now. It's the rest of us who should be a little embarrassed... or at least me and my player. Can't speak for anyone else, honestly.

Stories / Never Ending Story
« on: June 07, 2013, 01:34:04 PM »
Narrator: Welcome writer’s to the newest, and hopefully greatest, Never Ending Story!

Ryan_Galen: Welcome to the what now?

Narrator: Ah, our first character. Tell me sir, what is your name?

Ryan_Galen: You know very well who I am. I know a narrator when I hear one. What I want to know is what in the world is going on here?

Narrator: Hmm... it seems we have a self aware one here. Well, it seems your writer has decided to use you to spark off a grand literary journey. An epic tale that will cross the hands of many writers, each adding and changing characters as time goes on; pulling the Plot forward into an endless up and down spiral that will only end when the breath of the last human on the face of the planet has been extinguished. You are now part of a Never Ending Story!

Ryan_Galen: ...so, a collaborative writing project then.

Narrator: More or less.

Ryan_Galen: Ok then. Well that still leaves the question of where we are right now.

Narrator: I just told you, you’re now part of an epic...

Ryan_Galen: No, no... I mean WHERE are we? Right now as far as the audience is concerned we’re just too voices talking in a nebulous void.

Narrator: Oh... oh dearie me. I appear to have forgotten to load the setting. Just one moment.

Newport Mall
Ah. The Newport Mall. The pillar of the economy. Bustling storefronts, large air conditioned walkways with vaulted skylights, and plants. Lots and lots of indoor plants. Needless to say this is the pillar of the economy within the city of Newport.

Or at least it would be if Newport had any residents yet.  Right now the city of Newport has populations of zero.  I haven’t even loaded in that character from earlier.

Ryan_Galen: Mind hurrying up with that. It’s getting a bit unnerving being disembodied.

Oh all right. Newport now has a population of one.

Ryan Galen takes a moment to access himself now that he... exists. Black canine pawpads, check. White right arm, check. Black left leg, check. Rest of fur matching border collie color variation, check. Check if eyes are still emerald green once he finds a mirror, but tail is still there so he can’t complain. Shirt... black tank top that shows off his muscular build too much, find a replacement as soon as possible. Short... passable.

Entry character description over, Ryan takes stock of the empty mall.

Ryan_Galen: So... I’ve noticed we’re working with a scrip format for this story.

Narrator: In tradition of the original story. It helps makes actions clear and deceive in what could quickly become a very confusion situation.

Ryan_Galen: And my metastory awareness?

Narrator:  Quirk of your writer. Not sure how the rest of the writer’s will handle it.

Ryan Galen shakes his head and looks about. Empty stores, deserted plaza... only signs of life are botanical.

Ryan_Galen: So when will we get some other writers... and you know, other characters.

Narrator: Oh, write it and they will come. They won’t just bring other characters though.

Ryan_Galen: ...what do you mean?

Narrator: A Never Ending Story is a collaborative writing project, not a roleplay. Every single writer controls ever single character whenever they post. That includes you... and me... and the zombies I just spawned in behind you.

Ryan_Galen: The what!

Ryan stops as a hand starts to close around his neck. Grasping that hand by the wrist, he spins around as he twists the offending arm. Attached to the arm he finds a husky, who really should be hollering in pain over the unnatural position his arm is in. Of course the pain from the exposed flesh around his missing eye might be a greater concerning... and is that an exposed rib?

Ryan escalates the husky’s concerns as he twists the arm further and lands firm kick on the dog’s chest. Tearing the arm straight off, the collie arms himself in time to fend off several other grasping arms.

Ryan_Galen: Seriously, zombies? In a mall? That’s the opening we’re going for?

Narrator: Oh come on. It’s more original than the arena the other Never Ending Story started with. Besides, looked lonely.

Backpedalling from his assailants, Ryan catches his first glimpse on just how many zombies we’re talking about.

Ryan_Galen: So you just decided to invite a few thousand of your closest friends?

Narrator: Well it was either that or ninja, and they don’t work cheap. So... want to place any bets on how long you'll last?

Last night, the third installment of Hero Quest rolled out for Billy versus Snakeman.
This installment was VERY text extensive... and given the personality of some of these characters there were more than enough contributions to this thread if you look for them.

Quote
You step through, and the moment the alternate reality of the Fields resolves, you are greeted by [Spoiler Redacted]'s leering grin. With a flash, his sword plunges into your forehead - and you don't feel a thing.

"Hmph. That didn't work. Will remember that for next time."

Of course that's more crazy psychopath. Here's just some crazy silly.

Quote
"...it would blow your mind. Seriously, pah-SHOOM." She waves her arms around.

Quote
"Oh, man, I bet you are going to look SO cool. We all look cool, when we're On. It is part of the package deal! Wait, wait.. this is going to be," she laughs at her own joke, "heh, this is going to be Awesome!"

Hmm... of course that last one only works in context of the world at large. Still, hopefully you're suitable entertained.

Rules and Announcements / Re: Where did Dragynwulf Go? I'll tell you.

Under the circumstances it would be in bad taste to say break a leg.
Hopefully drawing is different enough from stage performance that I can with you good luck without sending you bad.

So yeah... best of luck.

01. How are you feeling today?
Factory (Land of Rust and Vertigo) by Team Paradox
(...wow this is really going to show off how obscure my player is)

02. Will you get far in life?
obsession TV-Mix by SeeSaw
(.Hack anime soundtrack... forgot that was in there)

03. How do your friends see you?
Track Twelve by Unknown Artist
(...that is what we get for having so many video game soundtracks from the nineties on here. One second... right. It's the instrumental version of Wind Nocturne from Lunar Silver Star Story... guess my player's wishy washy enough for that.)

04. Will you get married?
Track 17 by Unknown Artist
(...right. You Tube to the rescue. This is Mysterious Cave, once again from Lunar Silver Star Story... not encouraging, but at least it's not a dead end... right?)

05. What is your best friend's theme song?
Refection by Vanessa Mae
(...this is either very sad or indicating something my player doesn't know.)

06. What is the story of your life?
Track Thirty by Unknown Artist
(Again? One sec... yeah, this one isn't surrendering it's secrets. Little bit of a war march for some reason...)

07. What was high school like?
Key of Twilight by See-Saw
(More .Hack anime. More of how one feels of highschool now than anything else.)

08. How can you get ahead in life?
Belt of Venus by Team Paradox
(...my player really needs to clean up his music library before he does this again.)

09. What is the best thing about your friends?
Sleepy Clank part 2 by Girl Genius Radiotheater
(...well, at least you know I'm being honest here.)

10. What is in store for this weekend?
A Stray Child by SeeSaw
(...wow the shuffle likes .Hack. Also this is a very ominous song is accurate.)

11. To describe your grandparents?
Rolln' by Big and Rich
(Wow... this is certainly projecting a pep into their step.)

12. How is your life going?
Minor Heroes part 1 by Girl Genius Radiotheater
(...waking up shrunken in the fortress of blue mice. Guess it's just about right.)

13. What song will they play at your funeral?
Track 12 by Unknown Artist
(Hmm... this one is the theme for the Veldt from Final Fantasy VI. This either doesn't bode will for civilization, or my player should put off that vacation to Africa.)

14. How does the world see you?
Souless Enemy from Solatorobo
(...well that kind of speaks for it self. And yikes.)

15. Will you have a happy life?
We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel
(...so many ways you could take this one.)

16. What do your friends really think of you?
Track 38 by Unknown Artist
(Ok, this one is DEFINATELY Chrono Cross. Just one moment... and nope. Not a bad song at least. Bit of a jungle tune though...)

17. Do people secretly lust after you?
Um... three untranslatable characters followed by four untranslatable characters
(It appears to be a pop remix instrumental of one of the Lunar Silver Star Story Songs. No idea which, but since in many ways it's a peppier version of the answer to number three... creepy for some of this making correlations with each other.)

18. How can I make myself happy?
Crystal River by Mudcrutch
(...don't even recall ever listening to this album. Will have to come back to this... is only because what little my player is listening to it is a bit creepily on subject.)

19. What should you do with your life?
OK, another unknown symbol attack again, but this one I can identify as the Opening Theme for Lunar Silver Star Complete.
(...so this is what? Find love? ...gee that is going to be an uphill battle.)

20. Will you ever have children?
Wild West Show by Big and Rich
(...make peace not war... well that's just a bit indeterminate.)

Well, I hope you all are as creeped out as this is my player was... I'll admit, since I have to live in his head, even I was a bit weirded by all those results. Anyway, peace.

Activity on the comics are important. Without that it takes a REALLY dedicated community to hold itself together. I was a part of one that held itself together modestly well for a few years, but eventually I actually drifted out of the community so I'm not really one to judge.

With that said, activity... and to be exact positive activity... in the forum is important as well. I don't think we've crossed the line into bad activity, but I'd still like to see small constructive action rather than a handful of people trying to carry the voice of dozens.

Maybe a project would help... though the question is what can be supported by only four people? Because that is what we have by my count. Two newbs, myself and Punk. A moderator, Felblood. And the administrator, Dragyn.

...I wonder if it's possible to run a never-ending-story(tm) with that few people? Or fewer since I'm not sure if anyone but my player would be interested.

General / Off Topic for the Off Topic Forum...
« on: January 09, 2013, 04:19:42 PM »
...otherwise known as being on topic.
Hey, there's no general discussion board around here, where else are we supposed to talk about the comics in general?

So yeah, what drew you all to this place?
My player mostly finds pondering where the plot line of Pending Else will take off to interesting, though he does find at least some of the characters in Beastling to be charming in their own right.
So... you?

14
Middle of the Montana wilderness. Technically the middle of any wilderness, but my player expects Montana in particular would be very scary for some reason.

Player has been playing Guild Wars 2. ...a lot. I'm his main at level 80, and he has three other 80s, working on a fifth. He still needs to complete the story, but he'll get around to it eventually.

He'd recommend the game to everyone. So if you are considering an MMO you only need to pay the price of your standard computer game to play, go ahead and ask him some questions.
