What's all this about then?

This thread is the bidding thread for the Storygame of the same name (Good vs Evil vs Money) that can be found in the FANTASY section. I started it because I am very poor and need more Fables to buy food for the starving children that Key turns out onto the streets. Ahem.

If you don't know about FABLES then I suggest you read the money thread at the top of this forum.

Here you can bid to be a character (or a thing even) in the game, or you can bid for SOMEONE ELSE to be a character or thing in the game.

If someone else bids to be someone/thing, you can bid higher to change his/her specification.

Private bids (a PM to me) will be considered, but I would prefer them to be in this thread.

Finally, any bids on anything else (plot twists etc) will also be considered. I reserve the right to refuse ideas or change anything I like without notice. Wink

Any characters that win a bid will be inserted (sometimes painfully) into the story at the earliest opportunity. However, on occasion this may take a little while if a suitable plot entrance point doesn't become available.

Thank you for listening. Very Happy

Chinaren. Chairman and President of Chinaren Enterprises. Fleecing the poor to give to me.

-- (Old initial message...) --
Okay, Rooollll up Roll up.. Come to the Grande Character Auction ladies and gentlethings.. Today on the podium we have...

A HERO. Yes sir (or madam) a genuuuiiinee Hero (male or female) race of your choice! Who will start the bidding? Do I hear a bid of 2 fables? 2 Fables, 2 Fables, speak up now....



*and I have NO idea what it will be about yet, but details details..

I just realised that every post earns 10 fables, so by bidding you actually make a profit (upt to 10 anyway).

3 Fables to Duke Reg sat in the front there. Any advance on 3 fables? Do I hear 5 fables?

I'll give you a hundred Fables if you make me the tasteful comic relief or lovable-oaf sidekick! (But only if you promise to do it properly.) Razz Razz

Edit: Oh, and anyone with that amount of money to waste has to be a Duke in the story as well. Please? Perty pleeze?

That strikes me as a good deal!

I don't think I can stoop to 'tasteful', but I can do lovable Oaf alright! And a Duke to boot.

Sidekick character:
Sold to m'lord Duke sat in the big chair at the front! Congratulations m'lord Duke. Character will be delivered upon payment! Smile

Still available:
Evil, evil villain (this gotta be big bucks!)
Hero (currently under the hammer)
Other suggestions entertained.

Fear not Duke, I have a small piece of paper here with a scribbled note that I have put... er where did I put that thing?

Now then. I see no reason why I can't open bids for the villain now.

Do I hear an opening bid for the Villain character?


For the Hero character...

The bidding stands at 15F to EvilHomer. Going once....

A rich man like you Smee? Over a 1000F in the bank and all. Wink

Phang, I hear you. How much is your opening bid?

For the hero! The bid is 15Fables, going twice...

Wooohoo! 20 is bid by the richly clad Mr.Smee.

Do I hear 30? 30 Fables for this handsome (or not, your choice) Hero?

30 Fables! A bargain!

For the Villain, The demon in the corner has bid, but I am not sure how much yet!

Mr.Smee has bid 40Fables for the Hero! (Though as the richest person in IF, perhaps we should call him Smee Gates Wink )

40F has been bid. Do I hear 50? 50 50 50 50 50 50Fables?doIhear50Fablesforthehero?50Fables going once...

Still only 1Fables bid for the villain? Do I hear 5Fables for this monsterous creature?

No! You can't vote for both, and you only have 70 Fables, so better post more if you want to bid higher! Shocked

Anyway, 70Fables has been bid to the young man(?) sitting on the floor. <Looks at Homer> Any advance of 70Fables? Do I hear 80Fables?

And just seen another bid (finally!!) for the villain! 5 fables! Do I hear 10? Mr.Phang? 10Fables? I must say, the villain will be eeeeviill, well worth many many fables! Very Happy

Pay attention at the back there. The bidding stands at 70Fables for the hero and 25 for the villain! You have to bid more than that, not less! Smile

Hey Hype, much as I would welcome the extra fables, I think I must allow bidding on only one of the two characters. If you won both you would be twins. Although...mmmm...

Shady. Good idea! I am willing to entertain bids for smart mouth talking animal! (Survival not guaranteed!)

Very Happy

Can't say fairer than that. So...

Bidding now stands at 30evilFables for the villain, and 75angelic fables for the hero, both to the shrouded in mystery figure floating near the ceiling...

DO I hear a 40Fables bid for the villain? I promise no good shall tarnish this character!

How about 80Fables for the hero? A character of uncompromising lawfull-good alignment. (shudders)

I'll consider putting 25 Fables on that for I wish to obtain a familiar or, simply, a creature with added abilities at the moment.

I've lost track!

Er, so far the bidding for the annoying talking animal (survival not guaranteed) is 77Fables. I think.

Hero is 80 Fables and the Villain is 40Fables.

Phew. All (current) winning bids are from Mr.Hyperion*.

50Fables is bid for the villain from Mr.Phang! Is there any further bid? Do I hear 60?

100Fables for the Hero! A nice bid Homer!

77Fables for A.T.A(S.N.G) to Mr.Hyperon.

Sorry, I am not taking bids for vetos (at thisprecise moment), but I will listen to requests.

I want to close the bidding soon, so keep an eye on this thread!

Well, you've been outbid on the Hero and the Villain, and you are winning the 'animal' bid, but make me an offer if you like...

Hero: 100Fables going once... (Homer)
Villain: 50Fables going once... (Phang)
Animal: 77Fables going once... (Hyperion)

Actually you are pretty close yourself - and I think your earnings from this auction will push you into the richest position.

Does that make you Queen Chinaren of England Shocked

I wannawannawanna make another bid!!!

Not for any of the other three characters, though.

I want to be the damsel in distress (come on, you gotta have one!)

I want to scream and jiggle up and down prettily whenever the evil villain turns up.

I want to wear silk and have blonde, lustrous ringlets.

I want to have a dazzling smile and an IQ that's lower than my tooth count.

Now this'll be a challenge!! Laughing

Five shiny pennies from the stoat in the blonde wig...

Well, I guess that should be okay, though I am not sure if it will be a 'constant' part. Maybe in and out of the story, if you see what I mean!

Anyway, bid (and challenge) accepted!

Hero: 100Fables LAST CALL... (Homer)

Villain: 50Fables LAST CALL.. (Phang)

Animal: 77Fables going thrice... (Hyperion)

I am going out to dinner now, and when I come back (assuming I'm not too drunk) I will close the bidding on the Hero and the Villain. The animal will close if no one tops Hyperion's bid, but as it won't appear until the second chapter it can remain open if the situation calls...

Shady's 'Damsel in distress' also remains open!'

Now that you have your story in place I'm afraid you are breaking the one thread only rule.

I'm moving this thread to the market place which is where it should have technically been all along. Afterall we were all earning fables with every bid. Shocked

It didn't occur to me until I saw your story thread though.

I will read your story once I get home from work - I look forward to it.

Happy auctioning.

Who said I was going to be a toad, for goodness sakes?
I just want to be the messanger that is constantly shot and is never actually killed...

No annoying non-killed non-pain-feeling n00bish evil minions! I shall choose my own with my monetary strength! Mwahaha!
Though I may compromise...I shall have a toadie, but it must be tight-chained to the wall with its stomach slit open, pulling ever tighter to pull it shred by shred of skin until its guts spill out onto the floor and it does that manic toad death-scream...

Or better yet, make me into some other minion.
Like the new manager of battle!
I just want to be some sort of minion.
(Cause the evil spot is taken...*Glare at Phang*)
Ooh! Wait!
I wanna be a demon!
And not any whimpy demon either!
I wanna be a world-destroying class demon!
Muwahahahaha! FOOLISH MORTALS! FLEE BEFORE ME!

I bid 100 Fables that...

  • IM is an evil minion (emphais on minion). Elrag or Ghera, make your choice.
  • Key is a magic chamber pot Cool don't worry we'll have a normal chamber pot for chamber pot-usage.
  • That Smee is a monkey.
  • That somebody is called Vion (hey it's a cool name).


That should be all. Any questions?

Although I'm sure a certain procrastinating abductor wants some of this action too.

Woooo! I like this!

Chamber pot or not chamber pot, that is the question...

Phang, for your bid I think you need to seperate them, as other people can't bid on 4 things at once. However for these two...

That Smee is a monkey. - Sorry, I have already chosen what Smee is to be (though maybe later on)

That somebody is called Vion (hey it's a cool name). It is cool, but I am using People of IF to populate this. Well, if I get a chance.

Not really, I'm waiting to see if your bid on me is going to be accepted or not. And you may have to pay 100 fables for each item! So pick!
I stay by my bid if Phang's is not accepted or if she stops bidding on me!

No, I'm now just going with Project De-Nuisance (woohoo! My own Secret Project Cool ), namely the insurance that, should IM become an evil minion, at least he is a decent one, though not n00bish (I'm not sure Chinaren would allow it without decent payment, anyway).

So, IM, have you decided yet? I'll throw in Lashane too.

Of course he will be a "good" evil minion! What sort of person do you take me for*?

Phang's Evil Minion bid is 34Fables to IM (though these names are hard to fit into the story! You make me work for my Fables you lot!) going once...

150Fables I am bid by Smee for Key to be a sentient magical chamber pot, (I like this idea!) going once...

*Don't answer that!

240 fables.

The Mayoral Dignity Fund is now accepting donations. Please contribute whatever fables you can to the cause of the non-chamber pot and help me preserve the dignity of this esteemed office...

..or at least, help make Smee pay through the nose Wink

I promise that if I lose this auction I will return all donated fables.

Err... guys?

I think we're all missing the point here. If Chinaren's going to make so much money out of this, shouldn't he be the one who has to work for it?

I bid 300 for Key to be a dignified magical item... that falls into as many undignified situations as Chinaren has the ingenuity to think up

Ooh SS, you spoilsport! Wink Well, sort of. I'm confused! Confused I must admit, I have been having some good ideas about the chamber pot thing! Ahh well, this one would probably be better in the long term, though I was rather looking forward to making a dent in Smee Gates's fortune!

Dignified Item that gets into un-dignified situations bid 300 going once...

302 fables to be either:

1) a highly dignified kingly sceptre of great power, which may fall into undignified situations

or

2) a chamber pot (not with cherries or brown stains) which is treated only with the highest dignity.

Chinaren's choice.

67 for being a random person who serves as a minion to the first side that meets him.
Can't get much better at a compromise than that.

I guess that's not something you ever imagined you'd hope for when you started this site. Laughing Very Happy


Laughing Well, I guess it's one of life's lessons - you can't always choose what happens to you, but you can always choose to act with dignity. Wink

When you put it like that it does seem a little, er, strange! But also amusing, in any number of ways as well of course. Smile

I put in 77 fables for IM to be a TOADY of good, with absolutely no backbone at all, who tags along with the good guys, licks boots, gets frequent looks of pity and sadness, and quite possibly suffers from occasional madness and lax bladders.

Patience my good LotN! Patience! Wink First we should wait and see if anyone decides to 'corrupt' your bid with a counter bid. If no one does, then, when I am ready to write the next chapter, I will close bidding on it and await with greedy palms outstretched! Very Happy

I'll bid 99 fables for IM to be MY minion.

And I am most assuredly neutral.

Wait -- is the slave trade abolished in IF?

I would bet 100 fables . . . but I'm cheap.

Hello Sorrow, welcome to the shop. Smile Fear not, the slave trade is alive and well! Of course, for IM to be your lackey you would have to have a part in the story too. Mmmm, okay. If you win this bid, then you will get a character in the story free of charge! How's that? Of course, this bid is now open so...<ducks for cover as chaos reigns>

Okay okay, this is getting confusing but as I see it the bidding is now:

Okay, bidding is now 78 for the minion to IM for IM going once...

50Fables bid accepted for LordotNight (by LotN) to be an evil warrior going once...

99Fables bid by Sorrow for IM to be his(her?) minion...

Phew!

Sorry you didn't make it into chapter 5, you should be in six though. (Muaddib and Smee weren't in it either this time).

Well, Ingro is right really. One reason is that I thought it was just too cheap! I mean, I have my overheads you know! First I need to bring you into contact, then you get to 'do' the horse, but Homer needs to get away somehow, and then I have to find a replacement horse! All a lot of work for 10F!

Secondly, it sets a precident (spelling?) Next time someone wants to kill someone off they would point to Araex and say Lordy did that for 10F! Why are you charging me more?! Shocked

Nope, 75F is the minimum I am afraid, even for a horse!

I bid 50F that Smee Slug rebels against Phang at the crucial moment and helps the forces of good save the day. Maybe the innate magical properties of my slime are involved some way.

I bid 50F that Smee Slug rebels against Phang at the crucial moment and helps the forces of good save the day. Maybe the innate magical properties of my slime are involved some way.


Bid accepted Mr.Slimy! Wink

Chinaren - since you already seem to have plans for including Shady in the plot ( Shocked ) I won't interfere with your artistic integrity (yet).

I still want to bid for the Chinaren lackey as my sidekick though. I want him to agree with everything I do/say/burble (whatever you have in mind), and I want him to look like your current avatar, minus the money.

For all this, I am prepared to bid the princely sum of one shiny Fable. (so far...) Wink

I was thinking of adding myself to a storygame the other day (there is plenty offering for sale) but I have decided (for now) to keep 'me' out of any games*.

Likewise (and I think I mentioned this somewhere near the beginning of this thread) Chinaren won't be appearing in this story, except (possibly) very near the end in a special guest appearance.

I feel I have enough Fables to pay myself to keep me out in any bidding war! Very Happy

If you have any ideas for yourself though, don't hesitate to put them forward! You always think of interesting twists! (Twisty Stoat I remember).

*Infact, I was thinking of not allowing use of my name unless people pay to use it, but I don't know how I would enforce that without some sort of city-wide 'law', and I don't want to see IF citizens starting to sue others!

Hmm. Twisty stoat...

Well, the twistiest profession is also the 'oldest'. So - does Powers the Perverted need a head-of-harem?

Or should I join the forces of good? Nah - it'd start to turn out like an episode of Watership Down!

Neutral's usually the best. So, my fave choice is: The Stoat of Death. Scythe, cloak, hourglass, the lot. If as many people are going to die as I think they are, you're going to need someone to usher them into the next life.

Not bidding (ATM), just suggesting... Very Happy

Who said anyone would die? I am sure that all will come together in peace and harmony and live....Bwaaa hahahahaha! Laughing Sorry, couldn't keep a straight face.

Nope, you are right. Many will fall to the Grim reaper 'tis true. And in as foul a way as I can think of. Of yes. Surprised

Mmmm. I may be able to kind of, merge the idea with the one I was thinking of before.

I apologise if my lucidity is starting to fail, I have, am, partaking of the local brew. It's been a hard day.

Still, chillin' now. Just watched a couple of the latest ep's of Lost that finally finished downloading and now I am listening to 'The Rocky Horror Show soundtrack* and reading here. Ahhhhh unwinding!

Now. What was the question? <Wanders off with a befuddled expression>

*Dammit Janet! Very Happy

Those are seperate items! For your appearances, well payment will be accepted to do that.

For the 'Final battle' I will be starting a (hopefully very expensive Wink ) bidding war for that, when the time of the last showdown arrives!! Shocked

Okay, you've sucked me in. I tried to resist but I just can't hold off any longer. I should like to make an appearance in your story (*sigh, what have I done?)

I bid 5 fables to appear as Duke Reg's (intelligent and small) younger sister.

I also donate an extra 10 fables if you promise my character won't be ostentatious in any way, or involved in any sexual acts. This is very important to me.

what - you didn't even give us a chance to counter bid

unless of course you have an evil plan

*thinks of evil plan and smiles*

yeah - that would do nicely - and would mean she was never involved in any sexual acts - hmmmm

Why not make sunny the old witch that everybody is trying to see/steal from?

Uh-Uh. No way! I'm paying good money to be Duke Reg's little sister, not some twisted and bitter old witch. I'm not twisted, or old. And I'm definately too happy to be bitter!

Personally, I think SchoolMarm should be the twisted and bitter old witch.

That last comment was a suggestion only for chinaren.

Hello alllll,

Me again. Well, Good vs Evil vs Money is still going strong, I am happy to say. However, now the bidding impetus has slowed a little, though people are still giving me suggestions (which is good, thankyou), I thought I would try and revive a bit of interest and stir up some more of your very good* ideas.

SO:

I now open bidding not just for players of IF, but characters as well!

Do you have a fave character in one of your stories? Want to see him/her/it appear in GvEvM? Well here is your chance!!

I wil need new major characters, as well as 'bit parts' and one off appearances! Of course, bids etc for players are still welcome.

Bids, comments and suggestions here please! Let's get this party started**! Very Happy Very Happy



*and crazy ones!
**Again.

I quote you when you said you must accept a minimum of 75 fables to kill someone...
Well. I impose an 80-fable bid that Sorrow dies a gruesome, violent, slow death, somewhere in the next five chapters. The extra five is for me to escape and somehow regain my wits of being an awesome mage. I leave the details to you.
How's that?

I would like to point out that Sorrow A does not indeed have 1000 fables. Therefor the bid is null and void! And mine still stands.

Woa! Shocked Bid accepted!!! This is more like it! The story always picks up pace when bidding starts! Very Happy

For this amount I will have to think of some really good sacrifice!

So do I owe 50F for Smee Slug's future uprising?

I don't think anyone countered it. Confused

I'm not annoying! I'm a quandary. I'm random chance, and chaotic characters are always the best one.

I'm the only original person in the story. You've got generic evil versus generic good. I'm the mystery person. 8)

Well, when it happens you can pay me!

Same for Lordy's character, when you see him in, then pay the piper!

I haven't forgotten them!

Sorrows' bid for sacrificing IM, going once...

Why not combine them, China, and make more money that way?

If you do, I'll add an extra eighty fables...

I'm looking to up the bid on the Smee-Slug's request.

For my 60 Fables, I would like a full slug Love Story.

Slug meets slug.

Slug sees Ms. Slug and feels the stirrings of love. With that feeling comes the memories of all things good and wonderful in the world. Slug rebels against Phang and joins the forces of Good, so that Love shall triumph in the end.

His rebellion is complete by the time he realizes that Phang has captured Ms. Slug, who is now serving the forces of evil.

Slug loses slug...

The ending I don't much care about. It can be a Slimily Ever After, or a Romi-slug and Juli-slug type tragedy.

But, to be honest, I just want to see how you tackle putting romance into this sort of story Wink

*cackles in a truly Twisty way...*

I'm not sure who I feel sorrier for! General Powers for having to put up with the old crone, the old crone for what 'The Perverted' is going to think of as a fling...

... or Chinaren, for having to write this bilge! Laughing

Wonderful! Very Happy I have figured out how to write the above two bids by Stoat and Smee. Look out for them in upcoming* episodes! *rubs hands in glee*

Bidding for horrible sacrifice by Sorrow last call...


*Will likely span several chapters and may not start for another chapter or two, but keep watching oh yes!

I want to place a 50F bid for Lordy to be turned into a Toad during his battle against the Twisty Stoat.

It may be a particularly evil, demon-toad - and it doesn't have to be the conclusion of the fight.

Happy Writing. Smile

Aye, indeed. That'd work, methinks.
I'll bid 50F for the Dark Queen to become 'interested' in Powers, just to make the story even more perverted.

Okay then:

2 new bids:

50Fables has been bid by Smee to turn Lordy into a Newt in his battle with the witch*

50Fables has been bid by IM for Phang to become interested in Powers.


*Although this doesn't have to be the conclusion of the fight.

*sniff*
everyone picks on you just because you're evil - no one understands me. just because i'm evil you say i'm a monster - but i have the heart of a small child. in a jar, on my desk - want to see?

150 fables to win the fight unharmed - and also get my revenge on the damned chamber pot

nothing personal Key, but standards must be maintained - i can't just let you get away with trying to kill me now can i? people will think i've gone soft

After all, we've only had two people die in this story so far - we've got to start some heads rolling. Wink

250 fables for the blast to be deflected onto the chamber pot (or some other good person standing nearbye - homer will do) and vapourising them instead

Well, looking back on the earlier threads, Chinaren seems to think not.

Phang, I can take this as a bid for Lordy's victory over the witch, but not (at the moment Wink ) for a complete story victory, which will come at the end. (Currently not planned for anytime very soon)

I plan to start writing this story maybe Thursday evening (China time), because it is going to involve a lot of previous bids and needs careful plot timing, so bids need to be finished about then. I may even make it a double episode. Shocked Like a sort of holiday special! (Well, it is Chinese new year, which is the biggest holiday of the year here).

Okay, 400bid by Phang for the Lordy/Stoat fight*.


*Ooh! This is exciting! I thought I knew how this fight was going to finish, but now I don't!!

Is this one for "Eyes harvested and never mind who wins" or "Good wins the Stoat/Lord fight AND the eyes are harvested?"

Whilst I'm watching this with intense interest, I don't really feel the need to bid.

I'm sure Chinaren will want to honour his previous bids as well as the current one. And, after all, how can Twisty Witch have a fling with General Powers if she's already been killed in a battle with LordoftheNight?

Wait - I'm not sure I want an answer to that question. Euwww! Wink

Currently that isn't a problem if Lordy ends up winning the fight.

Lordy to be blasted into smithereens by the Good Witch.

Sounds about right Ingro. Smile

Key and I are going halves on the original 750, so if we win then I'll donate to you.

Go the powers of Good. Cool

The latest bid that was definate for Good was essentially:

Quote:
Good wins, eyes harvested.


Which superceeds previous options.

I will go away and look for the Evil bid.

Bidding is 951 to Ingro for Good to win the fight, Lordy to be turned into a newt and have his eyes to be harvested. Which means the 'blasted into a thousand pieces' is nullified.

Phew, hard work this.

Going twice...

Okay then!! Good job I got distracted with the Auction forum and stopped writing!! Very Happy

So, er, I make the bidding to be (a brief history here...)

951 from Ingro,

100 More from Smee, so 1051

and Lordy's manly bid of 500 bring that to

1551! A far cry from the early days! Progress eh?

Okay. I have held off as long as possible, but now I have come to the point where I must write the ending to the fight.

As Lord has upped the bid a while ago I am going to close this bid and declare him the winner.

Lord will win the fight.

Thank you all for bidding, and for Lordy for conributing to the cause*.

Other bids will also be written in this chapter, including more of Smee's bid, which was upped by Stoat to a love story, and the other love story between Stoat and Powers. Sorrow's bid for IM has also now been written, though IM's bid for Phang to be interested in Powers will come later.

Phew. It's all happening in Chapter 19 folks!!!

*Of making Chinaren richer.

Excellent Chinaren - sounds like it's going to be a cracker of a chapter.

Congrats to Lordy for a good fight well won. The forces of Good tremble at your might. Surprised

Actually, I think the first major bidding war was for Key to enter the game as a magical item. Previous to that there were a few bidding fights for the Hero and Villain, as well as annoying talking animal, survival not guaranteed.

Of course, there were less Fables around then, and it was before the inflationary rise when Key altered the Fable earning rates.

Anyway Chapter 19 is up, albiet in part 1 format. Check it out!

Summary of various bids.

Just a quick summary of closed bids not completed, and bids still underway...

50F by Smee, raised to 60 by Stoat for Slug love/uprising plot.

100F by Smee for Powers/Stoat fling.

....

50F by IM for Phang to get "Interested" in Powers going once...

Did I forget anything?

Hey, I dispute this. Key should not be allowed to bid. He has access to unlimited amounts of fables! How did he get them in the first place anyway?

If my objection is overriden, I bid 101F that my idea goes and key's doesn't.

Damn it, I shouldn't have said anything in the first place....

Mine is not to question why, mine is just to take his Fables.

Key has been subject to this sort of bid himself, check back to page 2 or 3 in this thread. How do you think he ended up as a Chamber Pot, albiet a dignified one.

And lots of people have more Fables that Key!

50F by IM for Phang to get "Interested" in Powers going twice...

101 for DL to become hetrosexual somehow but not by turning into a woman, dammit.

Personally I think Key made a mistake here. I would have probably granted your wish by turning you into a woman anyway! Wink As Kalanna found out, you have to be careful what you wish for! Anyway, it's all money in the bank. *Sits back and counts coins*

And Smee's 'Fling' bid as well as Stoat's 'romance' bid have now been completed. Thank you for your business. Ahem. *Holds hand out*

I get fables just like everybody else, by posting and responding. Smile

While in theory I could give myself (or anyone else) additional fables, I have not done so. The only times I've added to anyone's fables have been for awards and such, as specified in the rules for earning fables thread.

*looks in and then wanders off to pay Chinaren 100F but...*


Wait...what's this - a new bet?

hmmmm... 150F that even though he realises he hetrosexual, his wrist refuses to become any less limp and the more he tries to speak in a manly way, the more camp he sounds. Wink

Nice one Smee, I'm sure D will be really pleased with that!

Hmmmm, what could I bid for..... I bid 50 fables that something interesting and funny happens to Solomon! I don't mind what, so other people feel free to bid for actual ideas!

I will accept your bid as long as you can narrow it down a little bit. I am sure the twisted brains of the members here will be able to help. Shocked *Puts his hands over his eyes, but peeks*

I bid 60F for Solomon to develop a god-complex about D-Lotus.

The circumstances for the change I leave up to Chinaren (possibly some change that kicks off in Random's teleportation process, but it's up to you), but I want our dumb drow to end up believing that D-Lotus is some kind of manifest deity, walking the earth among us poor mortals.

That should be worth 60, I think Very Happy

50F for Twisty Stoat's 'Obi-Wan' death act to have actually have been a teleportation into Power's tent.

In her final moments of life she enjoys a final fling with Powers (although he may enjoy a few more Surprised ) and tries to convert him to the side of Good.

*runs away at the horror he has just requested Shocked *

Oh boy, I've gotta add my tuppenny ha'penny worth here!

60Fables for an addition to that scenario. After the Twisty's death, General Powers insists on having her embalmed - stuffed and grinning, if you prefer - and carries her with him wherever he goes.

As time passes, he goes slowly more and more insane, talking to his twisty friend, hearing her answer him, mulling over old times, etc...

(unless it supercedes any existing bids, that is, in which case I withdraw and leave it to Smee to decide Twisty's eventual fate) Smile

Ho ho ho!!! Here's meat for the grind indeed!!

Okay then. *deep breath*


50F by IM for Phang to get "Interested" in Powers, though this one may need some work.

150 for DLotus to become hetrosexual somehow but not by turning into a woman dammit and still ending up being very camp.

60Fables for Soily to get a god complex for D-Lotus.

Mmm, maybe one more fling. Okay then, one last good one for Twisty and the General, and an attempt to convince him to join the side of goo. 50Fables, (Smee) followed by...

Stoats bid for the stuffing, talking and degeneration into insanity thing. 60Fables.


*rubs his hands* This stuff practically writes itself. Shocked

I may be so many buckets of exploded brown goo now, but when slugs mate both come away pregnant. I'll bid 100F for Smee-slug to birth our babies, and lead this newborn slug army on a successful campaign against whatever vile plan Phang hatches next (whether Phang dies or not is irrelevant, so long as her overall goal is thwarted by slime).

Well, I guess I can't do anything else...I'll just wait and see...and enjoy the story no matter what...

I have edited my post just above, slightly altering my bid in light of recent developments. The amount, intent and purpose remain the same, with a slight alteration in scope.

Best read it with your eyes closed. That's how I write the story anyway.

Flauna* I accept your bid, on the understanding that the People's Slug army will foil a plot, but won't win the overall war. Surprised


*A typo, but I kinda liked it.

200! There ought to be a mortal (Non demon) king of evil! That way, Phang gets an upgrade from Mistress of evil to QUEEN of evil! The king will have no power, being as seduced by Phang's charms as humanly possible. He will not want to go against his darling queen's wishes, and will be a delightful little shadow puppet. All that being said, it is best if he is someone she already knows rather than the random bumpkin off the streets. And thus, Powers the Perverted gets elected into this horribly delightful role.

Mmm, the only problem with this bid is that Phang would not need a King, even a puppet king. She would probably see it as a threat to her title. As it is, she already has Powers under her sway, so upping his title would serve no purpose.

Quote:
being as seduced by Phang's charms


Also this would counter the Stoat stuffed body thing, so i think you need to re-think this one a little IM.

I should have known that you'd do that.
And I am stating right now for public record that if anybody outbids me that it is PURELY COINCIDENTAL that they have a living deficency over the course of a few hours.
Of course, living deficencies are usually fatal...

Right, china. Scrap all my previous bids. Take up a new one.
Due to the creamated Witchy Stoat remains still having a bit of Stoat's essence, soul, whatever, about them, AND due to the 'attentions' of Phang, Powers the Perverted's mind snaps and causes him to go gibberingly insane within his tent. He walks into some of his torture devices and kills himself.
All this is to happen for a mere 100 Fables.

I bid 200 fables on JDM killing another major character, preferably of the heroic variety, but I'm not all that picky.

Probably best to specify who it's against Jack, otherwise they don't get a chance to respond as well

And then we don't get a cool bidding war.

PostPosted: Thu Apr 27, 2006 6:31 pm    Post subject: Guest chapter! Reply with quote

Hello All,

After reading Stoat's guest chapter in Smee's 'Time Before' forum, it sparked an idea amongst my brains*.

The Main page forums could be a good place to add an occasional 'guest' thread, and expand the scope of the story and the story world.

So. I have thought of a 'side story' which could be written by someone else in the Greed forum. Should anyone be interested in this.

Before you jump up and down, here are the conditions:

I have a general plot in Greed that I am working to. Hence the guest thread will be limited to work within the boundries of this.

My 'side plot' idea will be worked into the main story at some point, or at least referred to, so again, it must be within the boundries of the Greed world, and not upset the general plot. I will give more details if I get an author.

I like to think I have a reasonably high standard of writing, so the GT (Guest Thread) must be up to a good quality of story and English.

Stories don't need gods and devils coming in with mighty powers to smite all before them. With the exception of Phang, who still has limitations, characters will be 'normal' people. No unbeatable warriors or such. (Okay, maybe Royalty and the likes, but you know what I mean).

The chapter must be written within a certain timeframe, or it won't keep pace with the main story.

I have final say on whether the chapter is posted, and reserve the right to edit heavily. Shocked

The Author will get a guest payment of 50Fables, plus the posting Fables.

If you are interested in writing a chapter in Greed! then please post here or PM me.

Alright, I'd like to post a bid of 10 shinys fats for the part of Renegade from The Dark One's Army. I could be Shmeegle's saddleer/groomer/person-who-brings-the-food-er. I could take him and escape to the sides of good.


Er, by the way, my Queen, you weren't meant to read that. I...I was j-joking.. I... I... please, no! No, NO! AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Help Dead Subject Scared

Hero needed!


'Evil' Homer has been killed in Greed, and as such we need a new Hero for good in Good vs Money vs Evil!

If you wish to take this part, you can be a new 'player' or a current one, who comes to the fore.

Note though, as this is a major part I will only accept bids from people who are regular to the site. Part of the reason I decided to kill off Homer, other than you lot voting for him to take on Sorrow alone Wink , is he no longer posts on IF.

Bidding starts at 200Fables, to sort out the wheat from the boys, or whatever that saying is.


Oh, and bid noted Whitey! Wink

Wellllll, I am not sure. By hero I meant someone to replace Homer and be on the side of Good. I would possibly have to change you from a demon if you became the hero Lordy.

*thinks a bit*

On the other hand....

Okay, bid accepted.

250Fables to be the hero by Lord of the Night, for LotN.

Mmm. I am not sure about this one JD, it would mean a fairly massive change of plot. Let me think on it. I am counting this one as a seperate bid from the hero bid, obviously.


Okay, if I have added this up right* then the current Hero bid is 276Fatbacks by Ingro for Key to be the new Hero.


*Yes, please put a plain figure in when bidding, it makes it easier to see what is going on, and my math is not so good too!

True point on the plot change, but if one of your other major baddies becomes a "hero" then you'll be needing a new nemesis anyways.

Attacking a poor, pregnant and abused animal. Confused

Evil Muaddib - next time you drag yourself from the latrines and wheel your way over to me, you're getting a major sliming. Wink

Now the rainbows are fine - is that the only consequence of this disease?

Otherwise 20F for not diseased, and 50F for the Wheeliedib to meet an unfortunate end involving the latrines and twisty stoat. Cool

ROFL!

Okay, the bidding is now at:

New Hero: Key for Key at 507 Fatbacks. (Should these now be Royal Fatbacks? Mmm).

20F for Smeeslug to remain undiseased and rainbow free. By Smee.

51Fables, if I understand this correctly, for the Wheelie thing to have an unfortunate and premature end involving the latrines and for Stoat to transend. By Muaddib.

Um.

Actually, I am afraid you will have to split that into two seperate bids for the Muaddib/latrine/end thing, and the Stoat/transend thing. For now I will just count that as the unfortunate end bid.

51F to die yada yada and transcend.(EDIT: Wheelie dib transcends not Stoat, Stoat is the one who facilitates the Wheelie dib's end.)

10F to be the aforementioned deity.

1F in addition to Smee's bid for Smee to develop the disease and then get cured but the after effect remains i.e the flatulating rainbow thing.

*phew* hows that?

Yeah, if Smee dies from the disease, I'll be out of a job. And we all know what happens to people who are useless in Phang's army!

Maybe I could be an expert on G.S.R.D (Giant Slug Rainbow Diseases) Confused

How much do I owe?

Right then.

Hero Bid: 507F to Key for Key to be the new hero.

21F bid for Slug to get diseased (mottled skin and rainbow farts) but is cured, except for the rainbow farts, bid by Muaddib.

51Fables for Muaddib to meet with a tragic premature latrine accident, facilitated by the dead and stuffed witch Stoat*. Bid by Muaddib, strangely enough.

10Fatbacks more from Muaddib to transcend. By Muaddib.

10Shiny Fats for The White Blacksmith to be Renegade from The Dark One's Army who is Smee's saddleer/groomer/person-who-brings-the-food-er and who eventually helps him escape from the army. Bid By TWB.

All the above, going once...

10Shiny Fats for The White Blacksmith to be Renegade from The Dark One's Army who is Smee's saddleer/groomer/person-who-brings-the-food-er and who eventually helps him escape from the army. Bid By TWB.

All the above, going twice...

I can accept that bid Jack. Should provide some amusement. Very Happy

Key can be the Hero - I'll still have to kill him.

100 fables for Lordy to kill Chamber-Potted Key (Or destroy, or melt, or what-not)


Um. I am not sure about this one Lordy. I don't wish to get rid of the main hero that quickly, I am running out of people to put in this story! Let me think on this, there may be a way...

101 fables for Key to slay Lordy in some absurdly hilarious, Monty Python like manner that is at the very least horribly humiliating.

Make your mind up about just whose side you're on Jack.

What if he doesn't become the hero then - if someone else does instead?

And 15 fables for the White Blacksmith to be caught and executed instead.

I'm on the side that provides me with the most amusement, which means you being slain by a crap pot.

Well, I'll put in my counter bid once Chinaren decides whether or not I can kill Key - if not, it will have to be different.

Remember Chinaren - I will be countering it.

Yes, I think I will have to suspend your bid for Key to kill Lordy for the moment Jack, until I have thought about the Key/Hero bid, and then the Lordy/kill Key bid.

I can accept 15Fables for the WBlacksmith to be caught, but not to be excecuted, as that is counted as killing a character, and needs 100* F minimum. Perhaps tortured and disfigured though. Very Happy


*I know, used to be 75, but that's inflation for you.

Key is the New Hero of GvEvM. Surprised

Going etc. Muaddib will finally become the god he never knew he wanted to be.

10Shiny Fats for The White Blacksmith to be Renegade from The Dark One's Army who is Smee's saddleer/groomer/person-who-brings-the-food-er and who eventually helps him escape from the army. Bid By TWB.

This bid is also now locked in. However...

25 for various torture and imprisionment of said groomer when he tries to lead Smee to freedom. By Lordy for er, Whitey. Going once...

150 fables for JDM to be reincarnated in some new mortal form, which he so happens to occupy with Author as well as a split personality. Going once...

75 F to be in the story as a character, preferably powerful and magic (male) good or bad. By Zeitgeist for Zeitgeist. Bid accepted and going once...

She.

I'm adding five to that that Phang sets me free after horrendous mutialation with the words " You're free, but you're also horribly mutilated."
And I do hope that me being captured means the giant Slug got away and I meet with him at a later date.

why did you have to do that... I cant afford the 87 fables needed to change myself from being a satyr... my name means Time Spirit not garbage satyr!


Also 75 more fables to change me from magical to a powerful mage
so in total 150 fables to be in story as a male wizard and powerful. Perhaps lacking in morals but not a depraved lunatic like general powers.

Hmm, depending on whether Zeit remains a satyr or a mage, I may have to nudge this one.

Oh, he's cool with being a satyr. I already talked to him about it. As long as he's a powerful mage, he's ok regardless of species. He just wanted to add on some cash because he thought that it would prompt China to make him even more powerful than he would have otherwise been.

So, yeah...

In which case I'll pay 50 fables to make him evil, as opposed to good.

Oh, and while I'm at it - *prods* for Kagemusho.

150 Fables to be a male wizard and powerful. Bid by Zeit for Zeit. Going once...

[EDIT]And 125F by Jack for Zeit to be GOOD

[EDIT]and 80F for Zeit to be a trash eating, leg humping Satyr regardless of alignment.

Jack_D.Mented wrote:

Oh! That's a good bid!!!!

10F for Zeit, in whatever form he ends up as, to have 'relations' with Bad Ass and bear children.

Hey WBS, I didn't know you were female. Good job you mentioned it, or I would have had a Phang/Rai moment* in Greed again.

Right then. So bidding is 30 for Whitey to try escaping with Smee, both be captured and then TWB is tortured and mutilated and then released with the above words, or something like them** anyway.

150 fables for JDM to be reincarnated in some new mortal form, which he so happens to occupy with Author as well as a split personality. Going twice...

*I had to edit several chapters to correct their genders.
**I reserve the sole right to put words in Phang's mouth. Wink

Okay people. I am going to have to ask for a hold on any new bids for the moment please. I have quite enough to occupy me for now!

Bidding on current bids (above) is okay of course!

Remember, if you win a bid, don't pay for it until you see it happen in the story.

155 for Good.

And let me warn you, if his real personality is any indication, trust me... It's better for you that he be good. Because otherwise, he'll be around you constantly...

Meaning that your leg will be humped... a lot.

Hum. Hum diddly dum.
I know you said no new bids, but I simply must place one.
I bid that the reanimated IM obtains the Black Heart and uses it to transcend reality as the pathetic flesh-bags know it. While there, he influences the end of the war, though for good or evil is up to anybody else...
750 Fables.

30 for Whitey to try escaping with Smee, both be captured and then TWB is tortured and mutilated and then released with the above words, or something like them anyway. Going going GONE...

30F for slug to escape from Phang when after he's recaptured. By Whitey. Going going GONE...

150 Fables to be a male wizard and powerful. Bid by Zeit for Zeit. Going going GONE...

251F by Jack for Zeit to be GOOD Going once again...

80F for Zeit to be a trash eating, leg humping Satyr regardless of alignment. Going twice...

Bid 21 fables for Zeit and the Bad Ass to persue carnal relations with one another and bear children and then get caught trying to cheat with Smee. By Jack D. Going twice....


750 Fables for the reanimated IM obtains the Black Heart and uses it to transcend reality where he influences the end of the war, for good or evil...
Bid by IM for IM. Going once...

Sorry Ziet, whilst your bid is possible, it isn't worth the extra re-writing I would have to do for 1 Fable!!

Right then. I am really not accepting any new bids for the moment now!

Bidding on current bids (above) is okay of course!

Remember, if you win a bid, don't pay for it until you see it happen in the story.

That means you are accepting bits for the next chapter now right?

and if so..

1 fable for IM's influence to be just that, and nothing to actually end the war.

Well, I read IM's bid to mean that he would have an influence in who won, not to actually influence and end to hostilities.

It won't come about for a while anyway! So plenty of time yet Ziet to save up those Fables and put in a real bid! Wink

And no, not accepting new bids just yet. Wait for the next chapter to go up. I am working on it now, and it should clear a few of the outstanding ones and we can start some new stuff.

You will appear in the upcoming chapter as well, so make sure you have some Fatbacks ready! Shocked

Well, strictly speaking I have never put a minimum on, but now you mention it, I think 20Fables should be a minimum starting bid.

I have to keep up with all of Smee's price rises after all! Wink

Ok, Ok, 20F so that I can open a huge gateway to the heart of the Crymzon Lands and send the majority of my forces in to invade their capital directly, while leaving strong defensive troops around my exterior, and allow Phangs forces to wipe up resistances, stabbing them in the backs as they turn to face the threat in their capital, while my primary army, after defeating Crymzon's capital, fortifies to withstand the attacks I'm sure will be forthcoming.

Welllll, I suppose technically he could, I am fairly open on what you can bid for. However, for some characters, such as Nalloon, I am not really sure myself yet. Shocked Unless I have a very specific idea in mind, then the characters only tend to develop over time, and usually when I am actually writing the story.

You could bid for a certain type of character though, that's okay. Best wait until we know more about the Light Ones I think.

Ok I take my bid back. Instead I bid for me to help decide where my character is going. Half my fables again. I'll PM you later because just putting on this would be a spoiler because I may suggest something that would contradict the plot.

How do you work out what half your fables are? And 20fables for the light ones just to turn out to be insane old people who haven't realized the rest of the world has progressed (i.e that we don't practice cannibalism any more).

I don't think I can accept that one Whitey, it's too much of a deviation from what I have in mind and has already been said. Sorry! Sad

This will depend upon the outcome of the vote Rav.

Well... since it went to a vote without me quite realizing that I was voting on the nature of the decision point... I guess I really wouldn't need to put a bit forth for that at all would I?

20F that my mutation was making me into a 2D person. Then I can be squished, but still alive.

Hey, no-one has been squished yet. Someone has to be. And as long as I survive I'm O.K with it being me.

So, 20F bid by Alba that the Light ones squish Whitey by Alba.

20F that the squishing will result in a flat but still alive Whitey, by Whitey.

...and you're right, no one has been squished, that I can recall. Except IM, but that was in Real Bananas. Wink

Oh, wait...

He needs an angry mob.

Ask Lordy... those are needed for any truly great tale.

25 fables for an angry mob to come get D Lotus and put him in thumbscrews, hang him from the ceiling like a pinata, and then beat him with a big stick before he narrowly escapes due to the distraction provided by Zeit and Bad Ass's carnal relations.

That'l take some working in, Shocked but I think I can probably manage it. Bid accepted Jack.

So, 20F bid by Alba that the Light ones squish Whitey by Alba. Going once...

20F that the squishing will result in a flat but still alive Whitey, by Whitey. Going once...

I may accept that bid, I may not DMW.

I have decided to round off the current story to a certain point and then put Greed in stasis for a little while. Essentially it will be the end of Book 1.

Hence I am suspending all new bidding from now. I estimate I will get in another couple of chapters yet before Book 1 ends, but there are still a lot of bids outstanding.

After an unspecified period of dormancy I will revive Greed from the archives and start Book 2.

Hey Chia and all.

Book 1 has now finished (check out chapter 31), but never fear, Book 2 will be along at some point, and I will pick up these bids 'n all if you are still around!

In the meantime, this thread is officially in mothballs.

[I have moved it into the Greed forum for now, when I start it up again I will move it back into the Marketplace]

It will be back...
