City of IF

Idea master · Posted: Fri Jun 16, 2006 10:44 am Post subject:

Right, I've promised to Key to show up for the 18th and do a SC then.

Imagine the City...ASSIMILATED!!!

Here's the prelude:

Smee sat back, reclining in his Mayoral seat of power. Things had been going well in the city as of late. Mauddib and Chinaren had come to a sort of cease-fire for the moment, the new storygame wall had been patched up from Kallana running into it, and the Idearium mines had never produced so much.

It was the start of a disastrous day.

Fauna barrelled into the office, wings flapping furiously, looking for all the world like she'd just outrun a horde of spam-bots.

"Fauna! What is it?"

She alighted (Although skidded and knocked several Redbull cans off would be more appropriate) on his desk. "Smee! You've got to come quick! It's...horrible!"

And so, Smee was dragged bodily out of his office by a crazed fairy to witness a spectacle that could only destroy the city. Granted, it didn't look like much at first.

"It doesn't look like much, people are running and screaming from Skiffyville, that's a normal reaction to some of those stories."

Fauna glared at him. "I'll just take you for a closer look then, shall I?"

Before he could protest, Smee was once again dragged bodily towards a horrendus scene.

People with grey-green skin, tight leatherish clothing, metallic body plates, and robotic limbs were the cause of the screaming. They continually said one phrase over and over.

"I am Thalaf of Borg. Lower your shields and surrender. Your biological and technological distinciveness will be added to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. You will be assimliated."

Smee's first response was shock at how this horror could be unleashed upon the city. Then he came out of his stupor as a Borg drone was attempting to assimilate him. Quickly darting back, he inscribed the rune for a fireball (Although he really needed to do the dance) and watched it slam into the drone, sending it back into a warehouse. Fauna was hovering above another drone, so Smee let fly with a lightning bolt, shorting out it's circuts and sending it to the floor as a pile of goo.

"Fauna! We have to fall back!"

"Where to?"

Next Sunday is the first Sunday in July. Do we have a volunteer to run a Storychat that day?

If you can, do it at the time Key posted at the start of this thread. That way lots of people can get on and it's good for me cause my mum won't let me on any screens before 5pm.

unfortunately ive decided not to commit to any of these. Too much of a pain in the butt. But why doesnt someone else do one?

I'm terrible at writing. I can if I have a specific topic to work with, but I'm no good at putting a dp in.

Hey, do storychats still go on anymore or not? just wondering! ;)

They do, although there's unfortunately no regular time for them anymore. You can see the latest by going into the chat room and clicking on Archives or Recent History.

Most of the time they happen when there are a lot of people on, and at least one person has the pass.

so storychat is dead in the water? *sigh* why do i stumble across great things when they are dying...

Polokin · Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 9:59 pm Post subject:

It's been dead for quite some time, since before I joined I believe.

The White Blacksmith · Guest Joined: 02 Apr 2006 Posts: 2473

I showed up for the last of them, but yes, storychat is mostly dead.

So you can save them?
It's sad to see SC dying. it's always been great fun. Next time I go on chat and there are people, remind me to do a SC. I've got a funny one prepared in the drawer here, but I'm usually too tired, don't have time or I forget :lol: But Next time I will. Remind me if you're on.

Could do it this Sunday at five.

Only not before that. My mum doesn't let me on screens until then in the holidays.

missed the boat on this month. how about we shoot for one in April 6th 2008 @ 6am GMT.

I'm setting my iCal, iPhone, and iPDA for this time.

Maybe we can get a tentative roll call for who will be there and a veteran author to show the ropes, or just get some archived links up so n00bs can give it a go.

Bookwizard · Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 4:06 pm Post subject:

Am not an author... yet, but I dont consider myself much of a noob here anymore, again, if I remember I will be happy to come, but dont count on me remembering, I forgot the last one :lol:

and meph... don't even think about calling me kiddo again

sir wax · Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2008 1:59 pm Post subject:

No one. except Book. and even he might not show.

beautiful.

i'll see myself there and maybe a few stragglers who don't even know what is going on. :smile:

Sincerely,

Well Waxy, considering that is 2 am my time... If I am still awake.. I'll peek in. :)

sir wax · Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2008 2:46 pm Post subject:

Thanks to everyone who came, it was a larger turn out than i expected. We were up to 8 peeps and it rapidly dropped down to 4-5 as i started writing. I feel awesome! :P

I, the host, did a moderate to mediocre job authoring but it turned out well. Let's set up a date for next month or 19th/20th for this month again. Who wants to be the author?!

Calling all with mad typing skills and an imagination that floats for next month's StoryChat or a second one for this month.

Maybe two times for peoples schedules.

I'll set dates and times if anyones interested in doing a StoryChat again this month or next.

Sincerely,
SirWaxaLot

Well, it seems that there hasn't been a story chat in a while, or at least there hasn't been any comment on this thread for a while, I might be interested in hosting one of these, but I would certainly need someone to show me the ropes first. As much as I don't like to admit to my ignorance, I really don't even have a clear idea of how a story chat is structured, or what the desired outcome would be.
