Title: The Abbos are Watching
Description: No Poofters!


Exangelus - January 2, 2007 10:11 PM (GMT)
I'm not quite sure why I made a whole new topic for this...

... hmm...

... but, in light of the event, I would like to suggest that we, The Radical Dreamers, should embark on another clan quest.

*is nailed with rotten tomatoes and small creatures*

But, I think it's a good idea. We could brainstorm, press forward our ideas, maybe even quest a little... I dunno. Just a thought.

Let's hear a response, in the form of either a "Hear-hear!" followed by two slams of the fist for a yes, and a bugger-the-hell-off for a no.

Any comments?

Grumble grumble grumble!!
















Other than that, I don't have much to say.


If everyone decides yes, then I'd be up for it.

Crimson Rose - January 2, 2007 10:39 PM (GMT)
I'll be in it if it has lumberjacks. That's all I have to say on this matter.

Sydofh - January 2, 2007 10:46 PM (GMT)
Rabble rabble rabble!

But uh, I dunno if I'm in or not. I'd like to write stuff for quests but honestly I have no desire to do so anymore. So I guess I'll withhold my decision until you guys decide what you want to do. If anything I can help out with some ideas and feedback.

I'm rusty on ANYTHING .hack-oriented, and I'm getting lazy with my lit. writings.

I'll gladly join you, though.

But absolutely NO LLAMAS!

Belisaria - January 3, 2007 06:37 AM (GMT)
I'm up for it. I'm attempting to join another quest at the moment, but if this actually comes to fruition(i think i used the word correctly) then i'll bail on them and join you guys.

Exangelus - January 3, 2007 11:58 PM (GMT)
I was thinking of quest ideas, but I'm not coming up with a whole lot. I'll keep thinking, and in the meantime, why don't you all try to figure some? Anything is fine, really; we're the Radical Dreamers.

Now that I think about it, it's good that there isn't a huge response to this, just a few people... it will make the quest easier to manage and finish. A good enough number of people need to participate, though, to even call it a clan quest, so at least four people, more if possible. We've got myself, Bel, Reiko, Rose, and strato, as well as some contributers of inspiration and ideas; possibly more questers.

I'll post again when I've got some ideas. I'll do some research and look shit up; find something to base this on.

strato - January 4, 2007 12:43 AM (GMT)
Oh by the way, I had some white text in my first post. I'm up for a quest if it happens.

Exangelus - January 4, 2007 01:26 AM (GMT)
Funny thing, that, I highlighted the space between 'grumble grumble' and the 'other than that' statement to check for white text... but not below it.

...

Ezekial - January 4, 2007 03:54 AM (GMT)
I've pretty much given up on questing, as the creative side of my brain had an unfortunate accident involving a leafblower and an angry dog.

But! if the quest ideas sound good, and school doesn't start kicking me in the teeth again, I'll join.

Rude - January 4, 2007 07:40 PM (GMT)
For the next 2 weeks I'm stupidly busy with Uni work but after that I'm good for a quest!

Reiko - January 4, 2007 09:31 PM (GMT)
As a note, I finally convinced one of my friends to join, so if this doesn't start by the end of next week, I'll have to go join her.

If you have any basic ideas, tell me and I'll help with the research. >>

I guess she's a better friend then the people you've been with the past two years..... :(

And who is this friend? I demand to know. *sharpens blade*

You left out 'and Rose'

It's alright, Rose. He did the same thing to me. He's just a really mean little boy who will meet Holy Judgment at a very young age because of it.

*has not decided on including lumberjacks*

*has not the foresight to check below his highlighted area*

...

*amends the list*

Now.

I've done some thinking... and have decided that, in light of other ideas and whims floating about, this quest is going to be based upon a series of intertwined riddles, all correlating to one another, so on and so forth. The topic of the riddles and their connections, of course, will not be revealed, as it will ruin your all's parts in the quest. I've already got a large ascending list of clues, hints, and riddles that will start the quest off. It (the riddles, etc.) will be centered around one or a couple of items, which you will all decipher and proceed accordingly. It will be up to the parties involved to figure out the clue amongst themselves, either by in-game communication or PM, I don't much care, and to act accordingly within the post.

I'll begin typing tonight, and will probably have it up by tomorrow.

This will emulate Sydofh's system in the "Ophidian Staircase" escapade, in that I will leave open-ended posts that leave much to you all, like descriptions and paths you choose, etc., while still providing objectives and such. A map will be revealed, but it will be part of the clues. You'll get it, I'm sure.

Until then, go ahead and submit any ideas that you find interesting, concepts that may need addressing, anything.

I'll be around.

And who is this friend? I demand to know. *sharpens blade*
*snatches the blade away and thwaps him with the flat side* NO! BAD LEADER!

Also, I've known her for five years, she's kept me from mental breakdowns on multiple occasions, and she's named after a fruit.

*sigh* But I'm for the haul I guess. In the worst case I'll send her off with one of you guys. She's cracked up more than me, so you'll all get along splendidly.

EDIT: Didn't wanna double post. As for the questy thingy... Would this riddle thing be the entire party as a group, groups of two or three people apice, or one person wandering around wherever. I never really followed Ophidian Staircase so I dunno how that would work. ^^;

*phails at life*

Exangelus - January 5, 2007 09:22 PM (GMT)
Wanted to keep it kind of a secret, as it could lead to some answers... but there should be three groups, two a piece (if we can get six people) and they will all be specific to group. It will be a checkpoint-to-checkpoint system, where the next set of clues will be given at that point.

I should have the post up tonight... I really will try, and if I'm not able to for whatever reason, no later than tomorrow, swear. I'm sure I will, though.

A couple of questions to the rest of you:

@Reiko: Are you sure you want to accompany us? The choice is yours as to who you want to go with, and I'll make amends accordingly. No pressure.

@Sydofh: Do you plan on attending the quest, or do you think you'd rather just hang back? If so, I'd like to consult with you ideas of mine and solicit your creative talents.

Reiko - January 5, 2007 11:58 PM (GMT)
I've checked in with Lime. She hasn't even done the sample post yet for the registration, so stuff her. I'm in.

Still confused as hell, but I'll wing it. >>

I think I'm going to hang back. I would only slow you guys down due to my lack of desire to write much of anything. And sure, feel free to send me a PM and I'll offer some feedback or whatever else comes to mind.

Exangelus - January 6, 2007 04:39 AM (GMT)
Cool. Good to know.

The quest will probably be up tomorrow; I've taken a slightly new and twisted direction with the central plot, and am rethinking a lot of things. But, it will be here soon.

Exangelus - January 7, 2007 07:31 PM (GMT)
News... sorry, guys.

I have to go up to Maine for a week. My grandfather just got seriously injured, and we're all going up there to be with him.

I'm sorry about all these delays; EDO corperation taking me by the ass, now of all times, paintball tournaments, grandfather... I am sorry about this guys.

I don't know what I was thinking. I think the quest would best be just cancelled. Just stop now, before we get into it, before we tie everything up. Sorry for the false alarm, guys; I was just thinking aloud.

I'll see you guys next Sunday.

Again, sorry about this whole mess.

Reiko - January 7, 2007 08:44 PM (GMT)
Light a blue candle dearest. Maybe a white one too if you want the extra kick.

You have my best wishes.

Sydofh - January 7, 2007 10:33 PM (GMT)
Indeed. No need to apologize. Things always happen that we can't control, so you don't have to be sorry about it. Have a safe trip.
