forum novel - discussion and sign-up

[Lord Anu]

Sorry guys if I do something wrong, but I scared when I saw what you wrote. I came and started to read and I said to myself: ''OMFG! The capital city is already destroyed!! It can't be that I miss something important?!''...
And then I look better and I saw that I didn't miss anything. ES simply came to capital city and it was already destroyed. And Zab continued where ES stopped... Then I though: ''Somebody should describe how the capital city is destroyed. It was the whole battle there...''
And I do it... I didn't know that ES already had a vision how the city Quarzt should be destroyed, somebody should send me a PM.

And Phil... I didn't described your or Reaper's characters as stupid or helpless. On which part you can see that? I just know that Cen and Philus were in the city before the battle and I must mark them as a good fighters in battle. They just tried to defeat beast Gruntio with Anubis's help, that's all... I only wanted to make a team battle.

If somebody wanna said something to me then send a PM...

[Reaper]

nah, I don't think we were stupid or helpless. And as long as you don't let us die I don't care that much.
Well, ramond said that it would be chaotic and here we have it. I was two days away and the city is already destroyed.
So I have to response to some older posts now.
@Evil Sonidow:

I'm assuming this is the official Forum Novel discussion thread, so I'll post here anyway. I agree that my prologue to the story sucked hard, but I suppose it's fair to say that my entry to the forum novel has a lot more to add than Reaper/Phil's. I'm saying that because when you read them, you'll see that mine completely contradicts his, but I think it's going to add a lot more depth to the story. I wanna know what you guys think.

It wasn't supposed to be already explained how it was destroyed. It was a cliffhanger.

Well, thats whats a forum novel is about. You can't know what will happen because you don't know what the others will write. So you have to react to it. Noone can write the story he wants to.
So if you want a cliffhanger you should write it in here. Then we know that we shouldn't write a background story.
And I don't think that our psts contradict too much. If we assume that the demons aren't there for long( some unfitting sentences). If they suddenly arrive, its not that much of a contradiction.
I'm saying that because I think that your entry really might give it more depth, but we generally shouldn't change older entries. I just don't want to hear someone saying later that he has a giant entry, but we have to change a minor one for it. That is contradicting the idea of an internet novel.
We could also have had it different, I just wanted to make the story start slowly. Because depth is also about interaction of the characters, which can happen really slowly. Atm we will have very much fighting before we can start to find out what had happened( which still is kind of a cliffhanger) and fighting is mainly boring if its too much. But hey, it wouldn't be interesting if unexpected things wouldn't happen.
Btw: This isn't ment as any kind of offense. Otherwise I would contradict the idea of an internet novel myself
Oh and if the demons where there for long, it would also kinda contradict the backstory( unless you call a demonic invasion "riots")
Btw2: I don't think that it gives the story that much depth if we had archers in it. But I am also not that experienved with forum novels.

Sorry if this discussion already had somehow ended, but I had to say something to that and I couldn't do before.

[Evil Sonidow]

We must keep the discussion thread going because here's essentially where we're deciding how and where the novel is going. I have to agree with you that it was wrong for me to ask to change older entries and that depth is also about interaction of the characters, but it depends just as much of how the characters are characterized by each author. There has to be uniformity.

''Damn this guy is big what should we do!?'' Philus yelled.
''Move!!'' Cen screamed and jumped aside to escape Gruntio's small hammer(the hammer is small to Gruntio cus he is extra big, but not small to us humans). Next Gruntio tried to smash Philus with his hammer, but Philus just disappeared when Gruntio touches him with hammer. Philus appeared next to Cen's back
''What should we do now?!'' Philus asked again.
''We need Anubis's help...'' Can said and them 2 started to run.

I'd say they're not stupid, but they're helpless. They haven't even begun to fight and they are begging for your help. That's not how Phil and Reaper chars are (at least, I hope not).

With that settled then, on to the story. What do you guys think of Noir? Are we picturing him weak? Strong as us? Is he going to get killed?

But I don't wanna reveal those details!

Well I didn't want to reveal my ideas as well, but if we don't want to break the novel continuity, we'll need to do this.

[Drahcir]

Personally, I think we should portray Noir as a more-than-capable fighter whose power level is over 9000. I mean, he's the prince. You'd think he'd recieve royal training or something.

Also, I think we should reveal our friend Nostro to be nothing more than a servent in a Big Plot Twist about a third of the way in.

That's where I come in. Hope everyone can wait till I finish.

[Evil Sonidow]

He should be capable of not dying. But nothing much better than that. Also, now that you said it Zab, we can wait.

[Lord Anu]

I'd say they're not stupid, but they're helpless.

I said that you send me a PM, but you didn't listen... Now I have to explain to all of you by posting here another d@mn, boring post. Here, look at this:

''Come on Anubis! You just throw your fire balls and move when Gruntio tries to hit you! We will try to go behind Gruntio and kill him from his back, But we need all these soldiers!'' Philus was screaming and fighting.

After some time...

Cen and Philus hardly came behind Gruntio and then they jumped on him. Gruntio soon fallen on the ground in front of Anubis.

So... I don't think I describe them as weak guys. I WANTED TO MAKE A TEAM BATTLE.(as I already said...)

[Evil Sonidow]

You may not have wanted to, but you did. But it's done now. So, Noir's fighting Daymio. Any other ideas?

[Reaper]

I have one. Just write something
No, seriously, we don't have to discuss everything. But for the long view I would think that we should somehow go out of that town so that new things can happen.
So we would have the possibilities:
- that the prince dies( I don't like that one, he should stay alive)
- that we take the prince out of town and he gives us the task to find out where the demons come from
- that we have to leave him alone, but he doesn't die and occurs later
- something else.

But I really don't care if someone would just pick one of those possibilities or finds another one and writes. The sudden attack of the demons and so on didn't really hurt the story. How should such a decision do? Its funny to log in and think: what happened now?
@ES: I know, the story might be better if its already planned so we don't get stuck at some point, but I've never seen an internet novel that was. Most of them didn't even have a discussion thread. They just write. and it somehow works.
Edit: I might write something now. But I am not sure...

[Zabobula]

Phil is going after me...Jeez I would have thought someone would have posted again by now.
