Just let it go. It will take time for it to develop. It will take time for those who participate to get the feel for the others. If we keep stopping and starting over, why even bother in the first place.

So you're saying continue the story that I just read through and did not understand one bit?

At least I can understand a fraction of the other stories...

The other stories were just as dumb, which is I why I didn't play earlier. I thought it was the people (that have left) that made it dumb, I guess I was wrong.

Plus, none of them were stories. You can't have a story with 1-2 pages of 3 word replies...

one day Rufio Met My Blade but reincarnated as A Necromancer's Pride when he suddenly reached over his shoulder, his head started to tremble and fell off And wabbajabcked into A white Unicorn then got hijacked
BY MARTIN SEPTIM But Just then martin septim started Stabbing Rufio's heart with a claymore that turned into a daedra lord then martin ran into a wall and gruesomely died.

THE END

Now this is the first one. However, most of them tended to run along the same lines. There was never really any "Plot" to any of them. This topic was turned into a "Post Flood" topic. It was more of a "Post Random Nonsense" topic, than a " Lets make a Story" topic.

I have done "Story Games" on several other message boards. Most of which were Fantasy Novel Sites. It is supposed to be a "Group" Fan Fiction. Periodically you should be able to do what I just did, and have a story.

I think we would be better off starting a new Topic, and start it out with a Plot line, so that everyone has an idea of where to go.

I honestly don't care. However, some people are complaining.

Maybe we should have two story topics, the Silly Story, and the Serious Story...?

I just think that either way, it should be allowed to just run it's course. As you can see, you can't please everyone, and we would just be starting over all of the time. It is not that hard to turn the story in another direction, without saying "The End". If you think it doesn't make sense, then help to make it make sense.

"I've heard of him", said Zegeras, "And who might I say sent me".

(since we've not yet named/introduced the Bosmer Battlemage Quest giver)

So Zegeras turned South and headed for the University, wondering what information Arotos might have.

(sorry if that's getting too long!)

Since we have started a new story topic, could one of the mods be so kind as to lock this one.

Unless someone wants to use this as the silly story topic...???
