GW4 OOC Chat

[Fraze]

The Skype chat has been getting the bulk of the banter until now, so I think it's time to have it on the forum proper.

So, what do you plan to do with this turn of events?

Also, since I didn't get to do it in the Game of Skill thread proper-like:

SPOILER: Click to show

Fraze's initial vision for the game was to have all of the players transported to different parts of a maze, which they would then explore in order to discover secrets, fight enemies, and join up with one another again. This challenge got downscaled and eventually became the bluebird maze in the first stage.
In that iteration of the plan, Euripides was meant to be the primary antagonist, toying with the players for his own amusement.
Bluebeard's tower was originally conceived as having only 4-5 floors, and at each turn players would either go up a floor or stay at the one they were on. Also, Bluebeard was going to be stalking the tower himself, moving between floors and sending players back to the start.
The third stage started out as a dating sim, with many small choices to make, and branching paths. We eventually decided that this would be too difficult to plan out, and opted to develop the surrounding story more rather than focusing entirely on getting Belle.
The fourth stage was the most difficult one to pin down, since we couldn't figure out what to do with it. In fact, it very nearly became The Little Mermaid rather than Snow White--but we couldn't find anything to do with that either! Finally somebody (probably Fraze) suggested turning it into a murder mystery, and everything went from there.

Ooh...that's quite some fascinating background information there. As it stands, it works better, in my opinion. Euripides toying with us for his own amusement isn't as cool as all-out war.

I think there was at one point a discussion about having a portal between Mage Manor and Castle Kestrel, since the alliance happened I believe. It's high time that became canon.

Of course, we need to be warned first. So please, Gondor, call for aid. As much as I'd like to introduce some kind of thing to tell us that there is an attack, I want to stick to one magical artifact introduced in a post at a time please. >>

*judges if his shadowing ninjas were able to keep up with who they were tailing*

Either way, they had a lot to travel... However these are shadowing ninjas.... Hmmmm.... Ok I can make this work.

[Celestial]

*prods people on my back* Say something. I feel bad flying off without you. xD

[♥ Azzie]

I have been doing far too much theorizing on this and I have to say that zombies was one thing I never saw coming. XD Bravo.

[Draco]

It took me a while to figure out how to set up my ninjas XD Then decided to throw in Dragus, since there should prooobably be at least one Knight around while their castle is being ATTACKED XD

[Huntress]

Oookeydokeypokey.

Considering how this thing will turn into the LotR of the Hobbit that the Game of Skill was, the advent of Miss Jensen's nefarious plan and all the subsequent events have been spliced off to a brand-spankin' new thread with a title that hopefully won't turn into a massive stigma, because hey, these are the guilds and we are, quite blatantly, at war. Don't take this as an obligation to textwall, though xD

Now, do any of my dear piratey comrades still happen to be around?

[Draco]

It would be weird to have a Guild war without the pirates XD

[Gelquie]

Oh, I said something all right. ...Just maybe not the smartest thing to say in front of a General and an undead army. ^^;

Anyway, this should be fun. Hopefully I'll have the chance to give Gelquie a bit of character development along the way.

So far we haven't heard anything from Spacefleet. And if people remain separated and all over the world and whatnot, then I could probably introduce a Spacefleet character. (I say separated because otherwise my already-long posts will become even longer and more self-contained.)


Also, sidenote for those who don't know: Gelquie in the Guilds 'verse is not a necromancer. I think she'd get too squicked out by them.

[Terra]

I just want to say that I am so excited about this roleplay. xD

[Draco]

Hmm, all ready confused a bit XD

What's going on between the Castle and Mage Manor currently? XD

[♥ Azzie]

Kristy and Azzie are hightailing it toward the Castle from the Manor. And Krisseh is heading toward the castle from a location that is probably not Mage Manor.

That's all I know of the in between. XD

[Terra]

So...is the portal between the Manor and the Castle actually functioning? xD And if so, is there a canon description of what it's like/how it works?

[Zylaa]

=D I am always up for (about half of) a Guilds' War! I am super excited about this. <3 Ready to jump in, just trying to think of a way to do it.

Hunty, you'll be you in this roleplay as well as our friendly neighborhood antagonists, right?

[Draco]

I'm just wondering so I know if I'm going to run into anyone on Draco's run to the castle from Mage Manor >.>
