Aaaaand....round 1 is closed.

Silver Midnight · Post by **Silver Midnight** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 3:09 pm

Two days left for Round 2, unless nobody wants them? I'll be putting up the last of round 1 soon. *has been busy*

aireona93 · Post by **aireona93** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 3:59 pm

I am going to try to post something... things are really busy over here too!

Xalia · Post by **Xalia** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 4:52 pm

Bah, I so wanted to try for Round 2 because the topic's really interesting but I don't think I'll get anything done.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 5:41 pm

Likewise, I'm too busy to try for round two. Otherwise, I'd really want to have a go at your giveaway because I really liked your drawing.

I really want a shot at Round two, but I'm having a hard time with the topic. I will keep going, though - maybe I can get it tomorrow

Nano. If I can finish his story tonight or tomorrow, I'll try to send him in.

Silver Midnight · Post by **Silver Midnight** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 5:57 pm

Well, if you guys are really busy but interested I'll just extend the deadline. I'm not done coloring the image anyhow. >.>

Xalia · Post by **Xalia** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 6:27 pm

That would actually be really awesome! I had a character all planned out but just couldn't seem to /place/ him anywhere that the story could take place in and of course as soon as I posted saying I probably wouldn't make the deadline I got an idea of where to place him! XD Still won't be done with anything by Wednesday though, so an extension would be lovely...

Cacopheny · Post by **Cacopheny** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 6:29 pm

Extension = good. Meant to write at work today, but stayed home sick. ... er, and I can't post anything DX Can I, like, post the storybit on the board, or maybe email it to you?

Xenoqueen · Post by **Xenoqueen** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 7:21 pm

Extension is yay. The topic has me STUMPED. I have, like, ONE Lawful Good character, and his plot needs no more crowding. XD

leilay · Post by **leilay** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 8:26 pm

I am a dunce and forgot all about it. <.< I would love an extension!

Luna · Post by **Luna** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 8:31 pm

Ug, not sure if I got it right, but here is my story... no site or anything, just flat text. I won't have time even with an extension so here is what I have. *zips back out to finish chem lab*

Guardsmen Guardsmen Guardsmen! I love Guardsmen, my main character on a game I play all the time was one for nearly a full RL year. Difficult as hell role, I tell you. >.< Lawful Good is HARD!

Lawful Good -- Combines Honor and Compassion.

"This guy is a thief, but he was doing it only for his family...but... I must uphold the law."

"They're the enemy, but do we really have to abuse them just for the hell of it?"

"I wish I could do more to set things right in the world, the upper class does nothing to help the lower class. But what can I do? I'm just an enforcer."

"They're screaming at me, because I'm not doing what they think I should do. I'm only following the rules, though! I'm supposed to be the good guy!"

Ah, the struggle of Lawful Good. The Lawful vs. the Good. Is the Law really Good? What about everyone else? There are people you pity, people you can't stand, and overall... A good many things you would wish to do but can't.

Lawful Good. Learn it. Live it. Struggle with it. Love it.

*shouldn't eat espresso chocolate near bedtime*

Thankfully I get the struggle just fine...though I'm glad you posted those "scenarios" to CONFIRM my brain was on the right track. XD I just don't make LG chars a lot because, agreed, they're hard. I like my goodies to have the freedom of NG or CG.

Well, I'll keep digging. I've got enough cops there's got to be one somewhere. :B

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 8:00 am

I'm working on a story. I hope it'll be finished by tonight. (but I've got class in half an hour :p)

anyway, link:

scracth that. i can't believe i wrote 920 words in 15 minutes :p Well it's done ^^ Dwaallicht is the candidate though i liked Thewis much as well. i might write more about him (maybe even for a next round? depending on what comes up of course :p)

Luna · Post by **Luna** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 11:44 am

Lolz Sil, <3 Guardsmen. Lots of potential there for angst and mayhem...

They can go any way imaginable! Evil guardsmen, traitor guardsmen, indifferent guardsmen, lawful guardsmen, chaotic guardsmen.

Toss in a green recruit and you get.. WTF Guardsmen. =D

XDDD

LOL, I've done that too.

"RECRUIT! What the hell are you doing!? Get back to the Keep NOW!"

Cacopheny · Post by **Cacopheny** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 2:10 pm

Sil, I'll have a story for you, but I can't upload/edit webpages right now cuz I'm house-sitting ^^' What should I do? Anything?

Cacopheny · Post by **Cacopheny** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 10:45 pm

Double-post! Bad me! But I figured I might as well post this, anyway, heh. 'Fore the deadline passed and I forgot or something ^^

I am sending Rusaleon Mei'Ontainde. He's a bit beat up, he's coming along with Natron, and I emailed you the story on your old gmail address >.> The Killer Turtle one. I hope you still access it XD If you want it PM'd, instead, lemme know.

And, y'know, lemme know if I'm not qualified, in which case... er, ignore this post? XD

Silver Midnight · Post by **Silver Midnight** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 2:59 am

The new deadline for round 2 is November 25th. Is this long enough for everyone?

Xalia · Post by **Xalia** » Wed Nov 07, 2007 9:44 am

Definitely enough time for me! I was just hoping for another week, but that'll give me Thanksgiving Break to work on it too!

aireona93 · Post by **aireona93** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 7:46 pm

Sil- I don't mean to be a bother or anything- but did you get my character for round one? I realized that I never really specified the character name or anything...

Kyrist or something, wasn't it? The black one's supposed to be yours.

*EDIT* Ack! ZIRYST! So sorry, the black one is yours. Your story was one of my favorites, because I feel in a way it embodies a sense of "Good" and an edge of "Chaos". Against the system to do what is right. I hope you like your dragon!

*EDIT AGAIN* Huh, I just realized that Ziryst is the great-great-granddaughter of Eshanath, who originates in a story with one of my own most notable Chaotic Good characters.

aireona93 · Post by **aireona93** » Sun Nov 11, 2007 5:52 am

I am SO glad you liked the story- it was a definite challenge! ^ ^

And I LOVE Karbin'n'tahn- the markings and colors are amazing! Thank you so much.

Cacopheny · Post by **Cacopheny** » Sun Nov 11, 2007 11:47 am

.... wow, lookit that XD I didn't realize just how far Eshanath's genes have spread!
