Damn that novelization...

[Teenr0cker]

999,997...999,998... 999,999.....1,000,000! There. One-fucking-million resons to just end it. Now I'm a simple person with simple needs, but I say a good ol crucifiction is in order here. And for irony, can we lock him in a basement, with no sandwich, and just forget about him. If he's still around when we do stumble upon the basement (they seem to lack mobility, thus, are hard to lose) I believe a good hurl into geosyncronous (whatever its called) orbit and wait for awhile. Then we detonate the C4 we placed around ...the belt area to doube at the proper time as a force to dislodge him from obit and into the sun while also depriving him of the nutsack he sorely does not deserve and blowing it to tiny bits in thy mercy. And the lord will grin. And then We'll have a feast...breakfast cereals and sloths are just some of the things on the menu!







AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING!!!

I've never seen a more creative or random writing style. Congrats, Teen.

PORTER:I IPed him, and it's Chip, Just, Reverend Sharp. But mostly he's Just.

DING DING DING DING! What do we have for him, Johnny? Good job, Porter. You have won!

I was actually using Just as a screenname in order to see how a newbie can manage through The Way forums. It pained me to stop capitalizing my sentences, and make all of those grammar errors, but apparently it worked well. Porter had to reveal it before anyone caught on.

But no, I even put in my sig that ReverentSharp is indeed the same person as Chip. So no, that should have been simple enough to discover.

Anyway, I'm going to be sticking with this name from now on. So, OverlordBill, your question is answered.

[OverlordBill]

New question. Do we care?

[Porter]

New question. Do we care?

Exactly, I don't think any of us really cared, or was trying to find anything like that out Reverand Sharp.

[ReverentSharp]

New question. Do we care?

Yep. Just as I remember you. I think we'll get along fine here, Bill.

You must have an awfuly short memory span, seeing as how you've been posting under another name for the past few month.

(BTW: I don't want to join your mobile friends network. I don't even think my cellphone can do that. Maybe because it's broke.)

[Impossible]

WTF? Lun HAS updated the novelization, he just didn't mention it on the front page or move it to the top of fan features.

I just realised that I fucked up the Prologue, though. >_>

Mobile friends network? WTF?!

Anyway, back to Impossible's novelization of The Way: I think it is impressive, Impossible. Really good, man. I'd like to read more.

[Impossible]

Wow, go me, I just opened Word. Maybe I'll write a little this weekend (and more with Easter and then two weeks off school coming up...). However, right now, I feel more like writing Chapter 5 (meeting with Lyrra) than 4 (the cave). Because I get to write Rhue's story, and my plan for that is not only to parody many RPGs, but my own writing a couple of years or so back, when what I wrote was shit. Sometimes that scene is just a crappy story to me, and sometimes I find it hilarious (you just need to look at it right - a lot like Fawful in M&L), I want to portray the latter in the novelization if I can, by making it more relevant. Maybe I'll even go look at some shitty fanfiction and use that. >_>

Edit: Well, I just did a fun thing. I had to logically work out the direction of the river's flow throughout E1. As near as I can gather, Rhue was actually travelling against the river up to the meeting with the headhunter. Rhue actually did turn back in the direction he came from after sending the pendant on his way at the start...

Edit Edit: Now what's also weird is that it seems like the water was most likely running north in the rock-jumping bit, even though I've always imagined it going south. Slade knocked the headhunter into the river and it seemed like the river was going south there, back towards where Rhue came from (approaching from the left, but going upwards in the last screen). That means the river came from the north, and most likely turned and ran back south again at the rock jumping part - but the river was going the other way, actually north. How odd...

If you're wondering where all this is coming from, I'm trying to connect it to the water on the screens before meeting Lyrra... And perhaps even in Marna Stretch? The big problem with these theories is that time passes between locations and events and we don't know exactly which way Rhue went in that time (although it's usually safe to assume a single direction).

I'm trying to link the river to the story in a symbolic way (more than the metaphor with the pendant at the start), and this whole idea could change things a bit. And I prefer the idea of all the water in E1 being the same river. How many rivers would be so close to each other anyway (except maybe after the cave)?

Edit edit edit: Okay, either in those screens before Lyrra the river flows north (yes, I have an explanation as to why it's split in two) and perhaps towards Marna stretch, or east and north into one E2 intro map and the first two normal areas of E2, and then off to the east and never to be seen again... The latter makes more sense, but... >_> This is so stupid anyway. Why do I obsess over these things?

Edit edit edit edit: Except the water in Marna Stretch flows south down waterfalls. I could perhaps even make a decent case for the river turning around from going east and ending up there... >_<

[Impossible]

I've written chapter 5, but because certain people are annoying ungrateful asses I won't submit it yet. I have to do chapter 4 anyway, and then I might start on E2 just to piss you all off before you see a word of it.

[Teenr0cker]

Flame wars are bad. I am good boy!

[Impossible]

If you care so little about the novelization, why did you post in this topic before? If you supposedly "idolized" me for what I wrote at some point, then why wouldn't you care about what I'm writing now? And much more importantly, why would you be such a fucking ass on the subject of anything about me that isn't just like you?

All you ever did was annoy me on AIM and crash PSO anyway, you didn't deserve to play The Way.

And here it is again:

Hey Impossible, do you know how much of your story I've read? Lets put some bets down here, just for fun.




Time's up! And the answer is ....: JACK SHIT! "Doth mine eyes decieve me?" you might ask. Nope, you're seeing things correctly. So go ahead, be a little bitch to whoever likes your story and not post it. I'm not one to judge what they do or don't like seeing as how it's related to the way (well, I'm hoping it is...since, you know...I haven't read any of it). I, on the other hand, could care less about any of it. Wait...more pages means more loading time, and I don't like slow loads, so how bout you DON'T post it, hmm? If you did post it, then it would just be more stuff. Oh you are a very considerate person. I thought you were trying to an asshole for a minute there. Phew! I thank you, for you have done me a great favor. Razz

[Teenr0cker]

Never played PSO. And I liked your outtakes, but that was more of one very long 'inside' joke, you know, the kind that only a few people would laugh at due to circumstances?...plus, you get ass-raped for flaming on Gamefaqs, so you couldn't say jack shit, meaning I had no fucking clue how much of an asshole you could be. And , oh yeah, who made you the fucking dictator who decides whos good enough for playing The Way?

[Impossible]

You didn't have to play PSO, you only had to make my games crash.

I could say whatever I wanted to you on AIM, GameFAQs doesn't matter. I give people the same amount of respect they give me, unless they're just extremely annoying like Ehrgeiz.
