I was just going over your character profiles again and it occurred to me how good those characters will fit in to the next chapter of the RP, where we'll be playing in a slightly different setting. But I don't want to give too much away about that. Just so you know, I -am- in the process of working on getting the RP set up. I have several things to do: 1. Writing the rules (I have the old ones saved to disk, but I want something clearer and more condensed this time) 2. Setting up an info section with at least these three basic things: - info about how to join the RP - info about the order and the setting of the RP in general - info about 'what happened previously'; not the enitire story of the old RP until now, just the most important recent events. 3. Writing my posts with Blinker -and- Nelsh in order to round off the old chapter. What have I done so far? - I've written a piece of info on the Order - I have been writing / am still writing several posts for Blinker & Nelsh - I've made a summary of the rules and what should be in them, now I just need to put it all in to words I am having a few problems writing the actual story, because I want to round off the chapter as quickly as possible, but... a couple things need to be done before I can do that. Now I'm trying to do this in as short a way as I can. But the problem is, in my head it's only a couple of things, but when I start to write it all down, it becomes so much text. The point is that descriptions and dialogue take up a lot more space than the general overall plotline I have in my head. So, I'm trying to take as many shortcuts as I can, but that may imply that I'll have to summarize some events instead of actually describing them from moment to moment. (Which is a shame - but who knows - I might work out a clever solution after all) Another thing I have been thinking about is maybe posting a few of the last pages of the old RP. So people can actually read up the most recent stuff and get into the story again. I guess I'll just post them with quotes; "Originally posted by: " Thoughts? Encouragements? ;D

Firstly, if there's anythingI can do to help, just let me know Second, do we still have a place that we can upload files to? If so, I'd say that you should put everything pertaining to the Nar Shaddaa plotline from the old forums into a ZIP file, the put a link to the file in your first RP post on these boards. That way, if someone wanted to read it, it would be readily available, but if they wanted to go directly to the new information it would be right there at the top of the page. Finally, don't worry too much about condensing your story. Do what you can, but if for some reason you end up having to take the long route, I for one won't have a problem with it.

The point is that I don't have a place to upload any zips... I only have a photobucket account for ORJ as it is. Geocities will be taken down one of these days, so that means I'll have to copy some of the info from the site to these boards.
That's why I was thinking to just quote the original posts from the Nar Shaddaa plotline up here. I'll have to do it in a seperate thread though, not in the main RP story (or the 'epilogue' for that mater).
I'll let you know if there's anything you can do.

Sounds good, man! I can't wait ;D I like the idea of having a synopsis covering the most important recent events in the RP Maybe you could use rapidshare if you want to upload everything in a zip file.

Rapidshare is a nightmare... Links often don't work, take ages to download or have endless queues. But it -is- an idea... Thanks for the input

Hmmm... maybe megaupload, then? It usually works fine, I think

Perhaps, then, it would be simpler to post a short synopsis of the plot, rather than adding each individual post?

I think I'll do the synopsis anyway, and maybe just the last two pages of the chapter, or so. Just so people can get the feeling for the story again. Not the entire Nar Shaddaa thing... it'll be too much; goes back quite a few pages. Pages 6 - 13 of Chapter 5, to be exact. That's almost 8 whole pages.

I knew we'd spent a significant amount of time on it, but I didn't realize that it was that long...

Haha, yeah, fun fact: That is only the second part on Nar Shaddaa. Maximus and I had another adventure there, before our group went to intercept Hawke. That would be another 5 pages from Chapter 4, but of course there are several other plotlines going on as well on these pages. Nevermind though.

Ok, well, I've written a huge amount of text for rounding off the old chapter. I took some shortcuts and it's still quite a lot, even though one could summarize the gist of it in a few lines, lol. But isn't that always the case...
I was thinking... I could start re-posting the last two pages of the last chapter, then start with the epilogue (I was thinking maybe do one post per day, instead of just posting the whole thing at once.) Then in the meanwhile I could finish working on the rules & background info, so we can all have a go once the epilogue's done.
How does that sound?
