New Log Up

[Gimfalisette]

I'm just catching up on these. Awesome stuff. Hey wow, there's Laila being a hardass bitch in a few more logs!

gah! Really? I need to go read over these more! I think the zan log was the first one I really sat down to read. There are so many!

Yeah, they don't really catch her good side well, do they?

[Taven]

OH man, I really want the rest of this story. Especially because I only got to witness it from an outsiders perspective, and I loved all your guys' characters so much.

Is Ruti's player still around, I can't seem to remember his forum account. Was a great roleplayer.

A fun player, but I don't think he decided to stick around.

Ruti's player is not around anymore, and left after Ruti died due to feeling wronged by the Staff. He did not actually participate in the final scene, either, but his PC was staff-animated for that. I think they did an extremely good job with that death scene, there was a gathering of vNPCs hiding out in the crowds that staff made agree with some points of him. It was a very good scene, in my opinion. Ruti's player (GDB handle Rarsh) might come back for Arm 2, and might not. I think he currently playing Harshlands, but it may be a different MUD.

I liked that log about Ruti and Jen as well.  I wonder how it turned out later

I'll try to dig it up, I'd like to let the ending be seen. I'd also like to make a few more shorts of the inbetween logs, but I don't want to make it a huge drawn out thing.

a new NPC to replace them, this is it.

for the record, the 'new' NPC was actually an old npc with a neat history that unfortunately has NO talk responses.

I think he used to hang out one room back, in the temple. I interacted with him once and thought he was a PC, actually... Until I realised that no, he wasn't linkdead back there. Anyways, he was "new" in so far as it wasn't a regeneration of the last PC, which happens way too often with the random killings.

Yeah, they don't really catch her good side well, do they?

For the record, Laila is my favorite "hardass bitch" ever. She was a great PC to interact with, be it positive or negitive. I think it's hard to have a log of the "good side" just because it was the day-to-day that made her good, most of the interesting logs she's yelling at someone-- And yes, we DID need yelling at!

gah! Really? I need to go read over these more! I think the zan log was the first one I really sat down to read. There are so many!

I'm still needing to read a ton of the logs. I looked at the art, and skimmed over the songs.

Some more than others.

I do hope you find those logs, Taven. I really do.

C'mon, that WAS her good side. Y'all know you loved that about her I actually think it's perfect that's how she's seen in logs, because being a hardass bitch was her job. Maybe someday I'll dig up some other logs that show another side or two...only problem is, I think a lot of that stuff is still very IC :/

I love dumb and silly half-giants with odd habits and jobs that aren't in the militia.

I love dumb and silly half-giants with odd habits and jobs that aren't in the militia.

I dislike both of those types.

I like halfgiants that are curious, thickheaded, and naive. Easy to be tempered, and easy to be pleased. Not dumb massive war machines.

My favorite half-giant I played with was a mentally-disturbed, spice-addled killing machine with a speech impediment. I think it's about time I submit another log...

OH, well then I agree.

Yam, loved the log. My favorite part is when you look at the templar, and he has no clothes. Also when you think:

You feel somewhat courageous in light of the circumstances.

You feel not too courageous though.

You feel hungry more than anything.

You feel a bit confused too.

Ghost, your story was amazing to read. I confess that this is the first one I've read, despite there being so many good critiques about them going around. It was good, and I plan to read all the others as well. A hearty round of applause, it was, again, a wonderful read.

I felt like the log/story "Felna and the Baj'aa Paj" could have been better. The forgein words would make sense to say in Sirihish as loan-words, but if Bendune was the language the story was origninally written in, then having them there doesn't make much sense. I like the idea of adding flavor to a story that way, with loan-words, but I think using too many can undermine the story. I liked how needing to rest found the diamonds, but felt that it didn't conclude well. You wouldn't find diamonds every time, after all. What other benefits might the birds have? Maybe it the bird had seen the diamonds where Felna has missed them, and pecked at them, it would show something useful. Alternately, mannerisms might be good. It was a very interesting read, the same, and I think it did a good job of capturing the tribal "feel" in folktales where things have unexpected benefits. I do think it needs to be fleshed out more.

The Zan log was amusing, because his money was stolen by a whore. I like how he wasn't killed, just punished and threatened with future death. I really like when PCs use alternatives other then death to gain motivation. I know that more then once as a player I've been certain that my PC would die if I followed that person.... Only to gain new RP oppertunities out of it, and usually have my PC either awed or terrified out of their minds. It's sad that sometimes that's just too risky, because people will get you back by killing you. Alternatives to death are always more interesting.

"How Child Cilops Stole Fire" -- It intrigues me, but the "'" is driving me crazy, and I can't focus to read it. Am I the only one seeing those? I think it should be re-submitted with those edited out, they're really distracting.

Bayors Poem-- Short, interesting. I could have had it be a little longer, actually! I liked how it flowed with the rhyming. I assume Bayor was a northie from the "light of his king," line.

Recued by Raleris Winrothol-- Rescue is spelled wrong in the title!  Someone should get that fixed! I like it, except for the "His Corporal came along,|never questioning what was wrong" lines, which don't seem to fit. I think maybe "came along, assisting to fix the grevious wrong," would fit better. I like the deails on how to play it, like "(*cheerful and jaunty, hold out the last note of each line*)" which is a nice detail that you don't usually see in the song section of Original Submissions.

And, as to the dwarf... It's by our Visulization Specialist! What more needs be said?

Great job and efforts by all, I hope to see more in the next batch that gets approved!

I like how marin just stabbed him and then continued talking with him.

Zan's story was a hilarious one.  I should compile a story about it with Rhyden and get that published.

The thing that I liked the most about Zan, and other rinthers around that time, is they were absolutely mundane. That time in the rinth was filled with monsters and magick and insanity, and PC's like Zan helped ground the fact that the rinth, at the end of the day, was just the projects, filled with rinth rats.

Ah, how I miss the old days of Jak and Sandas and even Blade.

For the record, Laila is my favorite "hardass bitch" ever.

Ditto. My bynner got into strife with her once, and I (the player) was awestruck at her command of the art of the insult.   The way she managed to provoke someone who over the years had I thought become impervious to sergeant abuse.
It was one Kudos I should've sent.

Bayors Poem-- Short, interesting. I could have had it be a little longer,

It was quite long enough for the patrons of the Sanctuary when my 'nakki Bynner recited it.  One more way for a Southron to get kicked from the Sanct.  Recite a poem there about a king, in southern sirrihish.

Granted that was made up on the spot, the story coming along line by line. I knew it had a weird ending, but I kinda liked it anyways.

It's never too late.

The proper title should be "new art up" now, but I'm too lazy to make a new thread just for that. Really, we should have one thread for "New Original Submissions!"

What do you guys think of the new art thing? Thumbnails are awesome, but I'd really like to keep the title and comments viewable before clicking on something too. Also, the "new" tags don't show up with the thumbnails, you have to set it to "by date" and "decending" to find them.

I really like the shiny gallery, but (sorry, hard-working staffers!) rather dislike the popup view.  Nor have I figured out how to do my normal Right Click -> View/Save Image bit.

Yeah, that's one thing that's always kind of annoyed me about this gallery script. Which sucks, because every art website made in the last 3-4 years seems to feel obligated to use it. At least Morg's version has a 'make this bigger' button--most don't.

[mansa]

I like it.

[Jestor]

I am thinking about pouring through some old logs from 97-2000ish.  I haven't really found any information on how the formating should be.  By that I mean, what should I prune from the log before submitting it? Also, do these go to the staff for approval/review when they are submitted?

I probably have a couple logs that are from things that are on the history page and may be pretty intersting (it will just take alot of digging to find).

There is no offical formatting, but cleaning out the excess "spam" is always good. I recommend looking at a few logs up on Org. Sub. to see if there's a way you like.

Yes, staff does approve them. Anything "uber sekkret" should be pruned.


I'd love to see some older logs, personally.

[jcljules]

Being a newer player with some interest in IG history, I'd really like to see people post logs. Seriously. Come on. Please?
