' Wrote:There is too much emphasis on forum stories. Look at it. If someone buys a cap without a forum story just watch the flak they receive.
Yep, it took me a while to swallow it... writing stories is like writing a test (for me). I don't enjoy it - its torture... you know how long it took my buddy and me to write those 2 simple character history posts?
At first, we discussed the major storyline for about 2h over chat, then it took another 2 hours to create some of the most basic paragraphs that actually make sense. We were scared that anything we might suggest to the community it might be rejected. There are like... 500 oorp players that don't care what some of you veterans think...let alone registered on the forums. We didn't want to be defined as such so we took our storyline very seriously. It took another 4-5 hours to write grammar-proof background. we got sick of writing....it was 3:00 AM.... but we didn't stop there we continued writing the next chapters blah blah blah....
Anyway, i posted our question about terrorists in caps the same morning and you know what happened.
so it took another hour to delete 40% of our hard work that still wasn't good enough.:( THEN finally we posted.
' Wrote:You don't see anyone bashing Yoda-[T] in his Advanced Battlestar, and he has no story whatsoever, and barely a forum presence (as far as I know).
Why did everyone miss to tell us that when we discussed it?? I'm going to sound childish now: How come we have to torture ourselves writing when we clearly don't have the inborn talent or simply the love to do it and he doesn't? I support Yoda cause i think he is a good player, he used to help me when I first started here and all that...:unsure:
If terrorist ID takes no story, i want to know how he did it... did he just force it on you and only later showed himself as a quality member of the in-game community?
' Wrote:A battleships is MUCH more important than a couple of bombers, so people should explain what that battleship is, who captains it, where it came from, and what its job is.
That said, I think that all can be covered in a few paragraphs, without requiring a major piece of fiction.
If it only were like that.... but hey, me and my buddy started it, so were gonna finish it the way the community dictates.:rtfm: If there is a way for everyone to be satisfied then help us God....:sleep:
