I could probably help you with that book. What kind of book is it? I read earlier that it was an Adventure book. Of course, you would have to tell me more about your ideas and such. Maybe we could brainstorm later.


And for the picture , do you mean an Avatar (The icon under your name.) or a Siggy? (The picture or text below each post.)

i ment the avatar.but anyways ill type up my prologe so u can read it ok hear goes.


 


   It was in the dead of winter as the twins, a boy and a girl, sat around the fire in the freezing bitter coldpondering over their various weird and dangerous experiences durring the past few years they had been traveling. As they sat on the ground gazing into the bright redish-orange flames of the dancing fire one thing kept creeping into the mind of the young girl," how did all this happen, how did all this that has happened to us start?" She sat there thinking trying to recall what it was when she could stand it no longer she finally got up the nerve to ask her brother," Hey bro, do you by chance happen to remember what started all this, what caused us traveling and such?" Her twin brother who had the same features as his sister, being tall for their age, having blue eyes, being healthy, well feed, and yet skinny, looked at her through the dancing bright flames of the fire with utermost astonishmint. He sat there staring at her for a few moments pondering on how to approach the question. Suddenly looking up he sighes as he runs a hand through his short, thick, blond hair. Staring off into space he finally responds saying," Don't you remember? I mean, you went through the same things, the same hardships, the same journies, and the same weird experiences that i have, so why don't you just think on it for a minute and I'm sure the anwser will come to you sooner or later." Still stupified and flabergasted by his sister's question, he goes back to staring into the dancing multicolored flames of the fire. She puts a hard stare on her brother for countless moments. Sencing her hard burning glare directly upon him, he quizkly looks up at her and asks, "What?" Keeping her her scilence for a few seconds she filally responds," Please, if you remember tell me, because I thought and searched my mind for the anwser long befor I even asked, and the only reason I asked was because even though I pondered and searched my memories I could still not find the anwser for which i soke, so please, tell me if you remember," she pleaded while keeping her piercing gaze upon her brother. Her brother being put under preasure at this point ponders for a moment on what he should say and how to put it. Finally deciding on what he should say, he looks at her, and for the first time actually realizes that he and his sister were not that much different with the exception that she had brunnet hair with a more redish tint than usuall and that he himself had blond hair, said " Well, we were told, how things started, once. Are you sure that you can"t remember what we were told?" " I'm positive, I've been pondering over it since befor we set up camp for tonight," she retorted looking ancktiously at her brother waiting to see if he would finally reveal to her what she had forgoten. Letting out a loud sigh, he looked up at the clear star speakled sky, as if looking and listening for one of them to tell him what to say, to give him some insperation, or give him some words of encouragement. Being brought back down to earth by the sudden poping of fresh wood being put on the fire, he sorrowfully looked at his sister, finally giving into her wishes he says," Well, I don't remember that much but I"ll tell you what I can recall of what we were told by him. Although," he continued," I'll try my best to recall everything, but I can't make any promises that I'll get every single detail right. Well, it..." " Oh, that's alright. I just want to know the main things that started all this," she said interupting him. " So, as i was saying, it all happened on a small remote hill far away from any cities."


 


well thats my prologe tell me what you think.

Sounds pretty interesting. As for time period wise, be specific of which country it is in, a lot of other countries had sowrd eras as well as Europe, if you are going with Europe try to include things that go along with the Crusades or the Spanish Inquisition. You might wanna do a spell check also.

I read the untyped version of Jena Runner's book. It's coming along pretty well. Well, actually, I only read chapter 1, but it looks good.

Yeah, it's been, like, half a year since she started this and as far as I know, the idea got canned.


Correct me if I'm wrong, Jena.

Yeah. You've got other things on your mind. Like school. Since school started, I've had less time to work on my games, so that's why I wanted to release it before school started back....oh well. You know what they say about mice and men.

yeah mice can turn men into a gelatinous puddle of ooze when they spray men with their acid spit.  people thought that mice eat cheese, but no they suck the gelatinous remains from the people they kill.  its not a pretty sight,  thats what ended up happening to tom when jerry killed him.

Well, I used to think I would be a writer, but the drama class opened up new possibilities for me, and you know the story. I'd like to be a teacher now.


But anyways, you have to do things like writing to find yourself sometimes.

yeah well i don't know if i would want to know what goes on in the dark recesses in my mind so that is another reason i don't want to write.  i did this thing where you let your hand write on a paper without thinking about it and like in the 6th sense when i looked at the paper i wrote stuff that was how shall i say a little disturbing

well what it is, is that by not letting your concious mind come through. it allows your subconcious mind come through and what you may see might be totally not what you would expect.

thats basically the thing, but it wasn't too comfortable looking down at the paper and seeing the word kill, death, destruction, and a few other choice words in various phrases all over the paper.  it kinda reminds you that no matter how nice and good of a person you are that you still have that dark side in you, but ya just gotta keep it in check

Exactly. That's why KOTOR sold so well, you know. It's one of the only games that lets you feed your inner bad guy. Although a lot of games are picking up on that nowadays.

yeah i've noticed that too, i mean since kotor there have been a lot of games that play the moral issue pretty good.  fable is a good example

Yeah, that was a good example.


The reason some people would rather play as a villian is because....let's face it.....bad guys have more fun than good guys.


Even Hollywood actors say that they would rather play the villian because "they have more depth".


In games such as that, I'll play good (light side) first, then play bad (dark side). After that, I'll just do whatever I feel like. The only problem with KotOR and Fable is that there is a light ending and a dark ending. They need to make a neutral ending.


Like, at the end of Fable, when you get the evil sword, you can either throw it back into the vortex (Good) or kill your sister with it and use it to terrorize the land (Evil). What they need to do is make it so that you can just keep the evil sword, and not kill your sister.......in fact, why can't you do that? I'm gonna try that later. Just take the sword and walk away.

yeah true villians do have more fun than the good guy, but they always pay for it in the end.  i usually play light/good more than i play evil.  but it is nice to play a game that if you are feeling pretty evil one day you can unleash you anger on some video game npcs


 


thats what attracted me to games like kotor in the first place.  before it was games like gta: iii, but it was just a bad guy game while fun it did get boring after a while.  i do agree that they should have a neutral ending in some of these games, but in kotor it would have been difficult because you had revan light: save the republic from the sith or revan dark: re take the sith empire and crush the republic.  so you couldn't really have a bindo ending on that game


but fable yeah you could definately have a neutral ending on that one.

Heh. On Fable, when I play as the villian, I NEVER paid for it in the end.
