Fallout Chapter 2- The Wastelands OCC-

BK, normally I am not in the business of extensive editing.

But I will give you a few tips.

(1) Good writing counts. Bad writing turns off fellow posters and if they don't want to write with you because your writing sucks, well then the thread dies. YOur writing is seriously in need of work. I am not going to begrudge you your age. I am guessing that either English is a second language or you have yet to reach 15.

But, since this is my thread and since I am the admin here, if your writing continues to suck I will have to kill you again.

(2) Don't try to dominate a story. A story takes off as it will. Take the initiative to move the story around, but not in large sweeping moves. A bit of development in a post is usually better than a big change, ie.

(3) Be courteous to others. Since this is a cooperative exercise it's important to work together. SO, for example, post your character on the character thread if you want to develop a character. Then post in the thread when the others have approved it. Usually they will.

(4) Good writing counts. Take pride in your work. Don't think of this as pen and pencil role play done on line. That doesn't happen effectively. Rather, think of this as a novel in which you participate as a writer.

(5) Listen to criticism seriously.

So, first post your character and then we will see.

And finally

(6) Don't expect me to edit your work. I have better things to do with my time than play repairman. The more of that I do, the more I am prone to kill you.

Now, reading this you might think, "Damn Welsh, you are a power mad Nazi motherfucker."

To which my response is simple, "Yes, when the need arises."
 
OK, we have four regular posters now and maybe two or three will join soon. Great. At the moment the story is in the hands of Rama and Zoe with regard to Inne and Caribe's situation.

BK, you can add a bit here. Chances are Aradesh will penalize Caribe for his involvement with BK's dead character, but will take interest in either having Caribe help kill the rad scorpion menace or fighting one of the raider groups. THere are at least three raiders nearby.

Don't forget Ian is still missing (perhaps captured?) Razlo needs to find rad scorpion cure for himself, and Tandi is looking for a bit of adventure. Remember, the fun of this story is to fill in the gaps in the original Fallout story.
 
Ok, Rama, I sent you a post with some ideas for the trial. I wouldn't delay this much. IN the end Aradesh will ask you, as a sign of good faith, to help out dwemer and melvin with the rad scorpions.
 
Well, I said my part, and I am waiting for this 'sign' of good faith.

Anyhow no pressure. This is the most entertaining thing since Kilrick... and I really want to develop this storyline through. More headway we make, the more fun we have.

I'll see if I can do some outside recruiting in the mean time.
 
A couple of things here. I would like us to take careful stock of our supplies. It would allow more crediability to our story and force us to be more disciplined if our characters are limited with what they have.

Also, for the time being, we should think of this as "the beginning of Fallout 1" - fairly low level characters. Inne and Caribe are slightly higher than Dwemer and Melvin, but not that much higher.

Ditto for all new characters.
 
Carib would be a Ian/Tycho hybrid, but Carib will tend to stick with either melee weapons or pistols... He can use rifles, but doesn't care to all the time.

Also, my character is a thief/merc type person. So now and again, he may lift little items from people. Could be a knife or a bag of caps. But Like Welsh, said not that advanced.
 
scorpion nests, to the south of shady sands, is a hive. Lots and lots, hundred and then some rad scorpions. THe trick will be to approach the nest and collapse it. The nest is in a series of tunnels of an old mine.
 
Nice on the armor falling apart. Hell, BK, I guess you haven't been giving your combat armor a wash...

Anyhow, let it be a lesson for us all. No armor greater than leather Armor...

-Vault Suit (Vault Dwellers)
-Leather Jacket
-Leather Armor
-BOS Leather Armor
 
i've got a character i'd like to introduce into this story

check characters and tell me if it's ok :wink:


P.S.: i'd like to enter my character at night (evening, midnight, early morning, whatever, as long as its dark)
 
Sounds good *Tuggs on Welsh's shoulder like a child trying to get their father's attention*

He seems nice... Can we have him in the game... Can we???:D
 
Yes, actually I have suggested that he comes in with your character very soon. Like tonight or tomorrow.
 
Relax, Rama.

I just got a very busy weekend.
My mom returned from travel and I got the house full of visits (relatives, mostly) so the weekend flew by.

But here i am, also looking forward to what will happen next and welcoming our new players (new in the thread, that is).

.
 
ok, im introducing my character today

the end is pretty open and my past is unspoken of (at least until welsh gives me the go ahead on what i posted @ character thread)

dont know who is going to save my skinny ass, but i sure hope someone does :P
 
it might be handy if BK told us what equiment he has on him and specify what kind of rifle he has

this also might prevent him from pulling out a spare powerarmor out of his pocket :wink:


note to BK: mind your writing a bit dude and try to be consistent. if you are in a group, act like it during conflict and work together... it's only my first time too but if you make some extra effort it will be more pleasant for everyone.
 
beware fellow writers: the thing that spooked the radscorps can't be a deathclaw or anything like that. just think up your own reason and use it when we enter the hive..
 
And beware of double posts SWA... Anyhow,m no discouragement, its a game, but it can be a fun game when you do your best and follow the rules.

Rob, you fit and are welcome here, no one will shun you. Just look over and observe the basic rules of Grammar. For example use Capital letters when necessary or just pre-write and edit. Anyhow, just have fun... Goes for all of you good damn it.
