that was awesome. I loved the whole thing especially the battle part. *Feed me!*

that was too cool. Great Job Mitsur!

And I could start working on sprites... maybe... If I could get a picture of what people either look like or what they'd want to look like, I might be able to make some sprites.

Please note I said maybe.

That also gave me another idea - would we be able to leave the OWF stories open for other people to make, keeping all the characters to the same ideas? In the end we'd have a big collection. Maybe the stories would be based on the writer's character's point of view (as in, as mitsur was writing, it mainly followed mitsur, because mitsur knows himself best). I've wanted to start a bit of comedy writing, and I just thought of a funny plot...
Alcar, could I pwease have the rights to write The Wired Scandal? :P
Please don't magic missile me XD

The only reservation I have in that is that eventually it's going to turn into a horrible fan fiction, eventually.

People will just thrust everyone into a stupid situation, or reuse the same plot, or make themselves seem better than they are, or make the users they don't like look stupid or whatever.

Do you get what I mean?

Goresplatter 12-21-2006 05:27 PM

Aye I do get what you're getting at. Though I don't know why people would want to portray themselves better than they are, it detracts from comedic values, and wouldn't look right in a story. A good point is repetetiveness (if that's a word) though, there would have to be a limited number of stories at some point. I'm not sure how many people would want to write their own though. If your next one is soon, though, I would certainly prefer to read yours than to do my own, I don't think I could write as good as you :)
Write now or incur the wrath of my incredibly bad writing skills! [/bribe] :P

mitsur 12-21-2006 05:57 PM

Heh, that's blackmail, not bribe.

Arxryl 12-21-2006 06:21 PM

maybe it was a bribe in duisgise...

But I get what you mean. too many stories would take away from the glory and the originality of the first untold story. But nonetheless, I can't wait to see what you're going to write next!

The gamemaker idea sounds pretty cool, except that I have no idea how to use it. I do think the wc3 world editor would work better, though, if we had some people skilled with it.

I know how to use Game Maker, though, so if enough people were interested I could always handle that part; the part I don't like is making sprites :p
But I wasn't really thinking of just these chapters you've written, I was thinking of a game that's based on the general idea of this story (with the whole forum thing and stuff - and you can't forget the humour! :p) but with a different story instead. And I figured that, seeing as this is the ODDWORLD forums, perhaps it could be an Oddworld styled game, like the original two. Of course, it would be pretty hard to get the graphics the same, but considering it's supposed to be humourous I don't think there'd be any harm in making it a bit more cartoony than the Oddworld games were :p

I mean, we could even do something like say, the n00bs have captured most of the forum members and enslaved them, so you have to go through their fortress of d00m and rescue as many forum members as possible or something like that. Get what I'm saying? ;)

I think you, Mitsur, would probably be best for making a storyline for it, though :D (if you wanted to, that is) Maybe I should make a thread to see what interest there is and to get ideas?

Splat 12-23-2006 07:07 AM

Someone should actually have rugby-tackled Havoc to shut him up, but never mind.
I like the Oddworld style idea, based on AO or AE would be ace. And you select the character you play as.
Maybe we could say, as its Oddworld Forums, everybody here is of course a Slig, a mudokon, an animal or whatever.
I envisage a webcomic.

Jordan 12-23-2006 07:19 AM

This all sounds great! I'd be very happy to something for the game, just say and I'll do it!

Spirrow 12-23-2006 08:21 AM

Ahhh, I was hoping the faceless one would be Lord Buttcher Clutcher
or MF's old boyfriend Dusan. No, seriously, Mitsur, that was a great
story.

Man, it would great if people understood that Spirrow being blue could manipulate water and drain it from live bodies, plants, the ground and summon whole tsunamis at will.

Does Alcar even know about this? I think he should have god-like
powers.

Jordan 12-23-2006 01:53 PM

Yeah, he should have the power to throw lightning and control minds, a God title would suit him Spirrow!

Bullet Magnet 12-23-2006 02:29 PM

I think leaving my tactics with the butter-knife to the imagination is going to give me nightmares.

Wassup with the :p:p? Have the n00bs infected the forums with a tongue virus? Will it infect everyone's posts?

One thing I've always wondered is why noobs always do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!! What is the point in that? Man, I love insulting nooblets! :) :p :p

mitsur 12-23-2006 09:54 PM

Heh, thanks for all these ideas guys.

First things first.

Gamemaker thing sounds cool, except that it would'nt make much sense for their to be a game based on this. Be kind weird to the average forum member. Still, I think it could be worth a shot, when we all have time.

Webcomic also sounds cool, as long as people make it. Maybe base it on the story itself, or I could supply material, or everyone can submit idea. I dunno.

As for the god powers, they go to the writer by default. As does the god suit. ;)

Well, on the average keyboard, the "1" key and the "!" key oare on the same little thing. So, when the little buggers are trying to type extremely fast and put multiple exclamation marks in their post, they seem to forget the shift button a "few" times.

HahA!!!!!!!!111! I RoTe these w/owt the use uf uh brane!!1!!111

Al the Vykker 12-25-2006 12:35 AM

You could also go back and make a "director's cut" of the story even though it's not a film. Or more logical just add like a prologue multiple epilogues for several characters. Heh I did enjoy my little fun sub plot with Rexy though. ;)

Splat 12-26-2006 07:29 AM

write some outtakes and be done with it!

mitsur 01-01-2007 05:32 PM

Ok, this might seem like a bump to get this back into the public eye, but, now announcing:

OWF - THE UNTOLD LEGEND : THE SEQUEL

Yep, I'm aiming for the next part by the time my semester ends. Which, is a few weeks away.

They'll be plenty of humor, action, and other crazy random stuffs.

Any ideas, suggestions, or requests to be PMed to me!

Oh, yeah!

BUMP'D!

Jordan 01-01-2007 06:12 PM

Yay, 650th post! ^-^

Mitsur that sounds great, I can't wait till you start posting it, I'm sure it'll be as funny as the prequel or even funnier, good luck! ;)

Nemo 01-02-2007 01:54 AM

I can't believe I haven't read this until now. Mitsur, you're on my list of "Godly-sechs-gods."

That title sounds vaguely intimidating.

Should I be flattered or scared?

Okay, we have a definate time now. My semester ends next Friday for me, which is

January 12th

So, check this topic on that date for the first part! Hooray!

And don't forget to send in suggestions, ideas, comments, or if you want to be portrayed!

Splat 01-03-2007 09:36 AM

Huzzah! The date is set!
I look forward to getting the starring role, Mitsurmyman! Haha! Rahaha!

moxco 01-03-2007 11:22 AM

Great story, keep the good effort up.

Arxryl 01-03-2007 01:21 PM

woah this sounds cool! I can't wait to read the second untold legend!

Seargentbig 01-04-2007 01:57 AM

Well, my status as a forum lurker is now obvious to me. Probably it's because I've only an hour ago discovered the topic, but nevermind. 'Twas good, and funny. It's funny, this is the only forum I've been able myself to visit on a regular basis.
Anyway, looking forward to the sequel. True, it's mainly because of a hope that I'll be in it, but that's one of the main reasons that everyone is in this thread - that, and for the wit.

Jordan 01-06-2007 07:30 AM

The 12th? Shit (excuse my language:p) I'm sleeping at my friend's then, ahh... What time would you say you're posting it?

Statikk HDM 02-03-2007 07:08 PM

Dude, I'm a 6 year poster and member of the 2000 plus post club with a huge Dungeons and Dragons collection and you didn't even mention my name once?
I won't pretend to not be hurt, but other than that it kicked ass.

mitsur 02-03-2007 07:43 PM

Ah, I never thought about it.

You shall now get role! Hopefully, a big one.

Strike Witch 02-09-2007 11:25 PM

I didn't get a weapon......

I wanted a Plasma Cannon.
