Quinticus

Figured out first part. Though, in 3D ground tiles, the BACK in the middle of the bar is missing. Can i fix this or should does developers?

I,Quinticus, have read, understand, and agree to follow the above terms of the Eternal Lands Story and Quest Writers Agreement.

On the thing with misspellings. Ember i love it Mystory. My Story, Mystery. That's so clever!

I love the Morcraven Marsh. It's a very interesting place there! Too bad they can't make it permanently dark and foggy. Maybe add a little bit greenish light to add to the effect.

I can make 1 euro into 100 euros!?!?! SIGN ME UP!

I believe what ttlanhil is trying to say, though it might seem harsh (I don't think he's trying to sound this way), is this: While we appreciate you trying to help, the ideas that you came up with at time have already been thought of. Currently they are in the process of implementation, even. A few minutes of looking around the storylines forum would have been a great help to you as it would have saved you the time of typing all that out and allowed you to come up with other productive ideas. Your eagerness to help, though, is valued and if you would like to help out further, please let us know. We're always looking for more help from eager individuals.

I've been cowering in a corner for quite some time on number one. With the discussion of minor gods, and the lack of someone to write the appropriate backgrounds, it might be wise to concentrate on proofreading before finishing the Great War story. As i understand it (i've read all 4 chapters) The Great War needs to be finished as it leaves off at the conclusion of he battle in Killaran with the next target being Porland. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If minor god's are to be implemented their "promotion" could work hand in hand with the finishing of The Great War. Plus we will need someone willing to not only finish the story but also someone willing to write as close to Tumaros' writing style. At least I think it would more readable if the writing style of the beginning and body suit where the last part is picked up. This of course is subject to Roja's thoughts on all of it. As for proofreading, Brom I can help pick up on the chapters you still need to do on The Great War. I'll also start on the rest. Once that's done it's pretty easy to integrate. As far as #2 is concerned I think it's pretty well set, for the moment. Of course it is still pending the finishing of all stories thus yet incomplete. And #3 I haven't even looked at in light of all this other stuff. I would think it's pretty simple. The graphics for an appropriate background image has already been provided. That is we can use some of the same images that are being used for the in-game stories and poems, if they can be stretched to fit a larger area. So adding a background image is a good start to making it a little more interesting. I have Frontpage and can play around a bit with it, unless Roja or someon else has some input on it. That's it for the first three on my end. Lord_Vermor adequately commented on the status of #4 and #5. I'm willing to take a crack at finishing any of the stories, but theres some big shoes to fill and i'd need the dev's okay to finish and rewrite to fit the end. As always it would be a help if anyone else would be willing to help out with proofreading. Any other questions, comments, and/or concerns?

.. .... ...... ........ ...... .... .. There went my last brain cell! Thanks dsb...you just ruined my century.

This post is being deleted. ONLY possitive feedback and/or constructive critism is allowed on these boards. If you can't say anything to help along the process or to voice a VALID oppinion then don't post at all.

Just for some clarification: Only one submission per entrant? What if a winner cannot be at the event? And i'm assuming that the stories must be related to the scope of Eternal Lands?

I would also like to add that the winner's stories will be placed in books in other spooky areas around Seridia and Irillion. Also there is plenty of space in the libraries for entries as well.

I'm almost thinking we're going to need a Grue Theory section in all the libraries. There are some others about the Grue as well.

I would agree, this would be a great work to place in game. Especially near somewhere that newbs gather a lot. This gives a great in-game and in-character explanation of what the grue is. When I first joined EL it took me forever to understand what had happened when a grue struck...and then I thought it was a technical term.

I'd love to join the guild under Lord_Carmien as well. What name can i PM you by ingame?

I would love to throw my lot in with this crowd as i know it would be fun. However things need to get moving in storylines. Therefore i would like to inquire about reserving the right to write an article every once in a while. Would this be possible ttlanhil?

I'm inclined to agree with Aderan. There really is NO comittment in EL for marriage. Spiritually i could see there being something with the gods mixed in. But it's not like there are tax concerns, property sharing or anything of the like. Certainly no children. Judicial divorce is a humbling thing to go through...i don't think something of this caliber is no neccessary in EL. Perhaps something in the clerical region is more appropriate. Since i'm confronted with something pertaining to this issue, i thought i'd add my two cents.

one word...condensation. Seems like a flaw in design to me. I don't know that the box explicitly says "Keep from humid environments". It just so happens that a body of water is 100% humid, i would guess.

Dimov, While I do appreciate your wanting help the eternal lands storylines department, I am going to have to say that in the foreseeable future this story will not be implementable. I say that because this would require a major rewrite to storylines. This is not possible at this point. Whitestone is a bastion of peace at the moment. There is enough room for conflict around the Vermor region of the map. However, I do like that you are thinking of ways to add conflict the storylines. I encourage you to continue doing so, help is always welcome. I am inclined to agree with you that the main conflicts of the game SEEM to be rooted around the gods. However, there will be more quests that are going to be implemented shortly that are not saturated with gods. The idea behind Eternal Lands is a conflict between gods. The curse that damns everyone to live again after death was placed by the god Mortos. Other gods have attempted to alter and/or destroy it, but have failed. At the moment in the history, as it is currently (and someone let me know if this is to change), the gods are going to remove themselves from direct contact with mortals. This will allow for conflicts to develope between communities and races.

I would agree with that lachesis, and i was considering the same thing. Its a daunting task to come up with a way to fit a storyline that accounts for countless personal interations between a large number of people. The only thing i have ever seen, and i'm not sure i fully understood it, was while i was watching a friend play final fantasy XI. There were territories in this game, i believe, that could be controlled by the actions or presence of a certain number of people of a given race in that territory. I guess several small storylines could be derived from this method. Such as having a kind of war on a very large scale and having everyone choose a side (be it a god, race, or otherwise) and the winner of a certain side declared by the outcome. It's an unformed thought at present, but perhaps something to start with. And thanks, Lyanna, for the articles. They very interesting and provided some good points.

Imagine that...a cape of mirrors, breakable... Just playing off of words i do know doesn't look like it's made from mirrors. Why can't it be called the Reflect cape or something? Otherwise i think it should look comprised of mirrors.

Ok so this is my first thread in Misc. So don't flame me if i'm doing something bad. But who would win? Medievil smilies: :axeman_rune: :battleaxe_rune: Or the Ninja Turtles? :don: :leo: :miky: :raf: (yes i know the last 'turtle' smiley wasn't exactly a turtle...but i had to even the playing field) My bet's on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and puke guy... Mace man's got nothin' on puke boy!!

yeah way to long to read at midnight...might want to hack it down a bit with the edit button :battleaxe:

I merged the new thread with the old to avoid having unnecessary double threads. Thank you for being so prompt on finishing it. We will take it from here to get it published in game. If someone could give it another proofread over to make sure grammar and spelling are in order then it will be ready. If no one can take it immediately, then I will...so no need to set anything aside! It's looking good so far!

Cleared up...approving in Storylines & Quests Developement

Yes, i'm too busy to go do a search. I'm sure its been brought up before, but i'm gonna do it anyway. I was thinking that it would be nice if all bags had tags attached to them. Just a little something that can be added to the contents box that tells who dropped it, or some other information. The reason why bring this up is because it would add a little more depth to the quest side of the game. When a bag has been triggered open for someone, they can read the tag in order to determine that it is indeed what they are looking for. Thought this would be something a little helpful for that side of EL. I also would think it would help those kind souls that like to return bags instead of stealing the contents. There's my thoughts...any cons that you guys can think of? Feel free to flame if you so choose...waste your time as well as mine.
