I don't know BBC code, so if somebody could do that for my posts, I'd appreciate it. ...BBC code is the exact same code you use in forum posts, actually. XD; You know, like italics and stuff. Oh, that BBC code. I thought you meant the stuff that makes up the posts themselves... or maybe something to do with British TV. >_> |

I have, like, all the merc posts, pretty much, so I could send you those sometime tomorrow or something. XD; As well as the last 100. How do you want me to send them? PM? (And right now they're in Rich Text Format. Dunno if your computer can read those or not...) PMs would probly be easiest, yep... the main problem right now, though, is the coding. Copypasting from searches to MS Word keeps all the italics and font colors in tact, yay for that, but they'd all get lost in a PM. So I'm not too sure. Actually I don't know if Rich Text Format keeps the coding; if it doesn't, you can PM, makes no difference, but if it does, I'd much rather get it with the coding. Think you could send it to my MSN address o'something? Fraze: been thinking of that. And due to that same coding issue, I'm starting to think that I'm gonna need a lot of help pretty soon x3 Once I get this compiled, we have two options: 1) uploading it all to a webpage or something and put a link on the NTWF or 2) posting the entire thing on Memory Lane. I'm not fond of the first option, because not only is there the same coding issue (HTML is a fair bit trickier than the basic BBCode the forum uses) but webpages can't really be trusted. They get taken down, they go boom, anything can happen. The second option would mean posting the GW in big chunks in a new thread, which'd then stay as long as the NTWF stays. But that once again takes a lot of coding (all the italics and color codes will have to be put in again, and quite frankly Cyclops scares the living daylight out of me under this angle x'D) and, um, *scratches head* I wouldn't feel quite right posting all this on my own, this was after all one huge collaborative effort >>;; Although that still seems to be the most sensible way to go, unless anyone has other suggestions. I've considered option 2 myself, and that's the one I'd prefer to go with. Since it was an enormous collaborative effort, why not have different people post blocks of the RP? You can delegate sections to different people, who can then put in all the BBCode (if necessary), say who wrote what post, put in time stamps, and post it all on the Memory Lane thread. That way, it would still stay as a sort of collaborative effort. |

I will take over your computer! >D Too late, I got them all saved. ^^ *runs virus scan just in case* Aww, darn. *snaps* Oh, and that virus that turned up in the scan? That wasn't from me. Nope, not at all. >>;; |

*stretches back and grins madly* Done.
*stared at from all directions*
Well, almost done. I'm missing three posts. One of them the post where Shiva goes to chase after Kit after having had a fight with Cat Assassin and Zaha, around January 19. The second is in the battle by the cliff and the not-so-white-White-Weewoo, where Kat tells everyone not to interfere while Asthielle attempts to summon the gem, around February 17. The third is at the battle in Castle Kestrel, where Kat fights off Shado and starts to fix her leg, around March 2. So if you've seen those posts, dead or alive... you get the picture >>
Other than that, 980 Word pages, booyah =3 Plus the 267 I have of the pre-last five hundred posts, and I still haven't gotten PFA's final five hundred. But apart from three posts, the GW2 has been retrieved in all its glory.
...now all that's left is this itty bitty little bit of re-coding it all >>;

Looks like it's time to go gravedigging. =3 |

XD; I was gonna put the code in before sending them to you, which might take a bit... (though it'll probably take a little less time now that I know all the earlier posts I collected you already seem to have.  Unless you want me to send you them anyway, 'cause I put the code in about half of them...) But yeah, I don't think I have those posts, and I'm kinda on the wrong computer to be doing GW2 post stuff ATM, so if anyone else wants to go try to find those three posts, go right ahead. XDDD; |

I'd still like to get this thing completely done before I move over to any new roleplays, but I'm not in a hurry with new roleplays either, so.) Although you can always spread the work with someone. Which means, *prods people in the eye* Come on, volunteers? I can cut the whole thing in little pieces and send it to different people and it'd be done in a couple days. Although I think I gotta prod Strife about that program he used for Cyclops-speech >> |

I have a few questions about volunteering that I would like answered if you could. ^^
1) Do the posts come with an instruction manual on how to post them?
If the above is 'yes', skip the rest of the post. =3 If no well...
2) Do we post the posts one at a time or in a big chunk?
But either way, send me a small chunk please! I need to get off my lazy butt and do something for this place anyway. xD

*thoughtful stare* That pretty much depends on what we're gonna do with the GW after it's all finished. As it is, it'd make most sense to code it all before posting it anywhere. We're talking roughly 1,600 Word pages here, it's not something that can be dealt with in itty bitty little pieces.
Personally, my idea went like this:
1) The entire GW will have to be divided in chapters according to plot points. There was the finding of the gem, Kit's offer, the battle at Mage Manor, et cetera. Shouldn't be too hard.
2) All chapters need new BBCode. Not exactly hard, but tedious.
3) Once that's done, the chapters can be posted in Memory Lane in their correct order. Since one post takes 50,000 characters... they'll have to be pretty short chapters, because my compiled first half of the GW alone has 2 635 318 characters, and the coding will add to that. Yowza. But the shorter a chapter, the easier they are to read, so that's a-okay.
In other words, I think it'll have to exist in various Word/other similar format documents all over our computers until it's completely finished, and then we can go post the entire thing. Means that I'll go cut in in decent pieces and once I'm done, I'll send one of 'em your way ^^
EDIT: buwah. Nevermind the chapters. 50,000 characters is roughly twenty Word pages, and we have 1,600 pages. It'll just have to be posted in blocks. The final thread won't be that much shorter than the original xD

Thanks for clarifying that Hunty. ^^ By the way, can you send me a chunk without BBC code if you want and I'll code it myself. *has a lot of free time and likes procrastinating on existing projects* x3

Sent it to your email ^^ And as it so seems, the character limit is 60,000 here, which makes it a tad easier.

Hunty, my spam email address should be visible on my profile. Send a chunk of stuff my way, and I'll see if I can schedule some time this weekend to start on it.

*phew* Just sent the last 500 posts to ya, Hunty. With the coding and everything. Dang, that took forever. XD; ...But I'm done now, so wh00t. Shiny ^^ I re-coded some of it, to fit the formatting we have with the rest of the GW, but there wasn't too much of that. So now we have the last 500 posts all piccobello and ready, and the preceding posts in various forms of progress. I should get some of that done today, if I have the time. ...heck, it beats everything else I have on my to-do list, so I'll have the time. Anyone else still willing to get crackin' with the code? |
