TheJonesy Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 There are no "I-call-first-post"s. It jsut makes everything confusing. We write in the order that we reserve posts. Alright then, but can there be exceptions. Cause I don't wanna the thing to die cause someone is inactive during their turn... @ Ryunday- It sure is! *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone pass a turn if they have like, writers block or if they have a vacation and know they won't be able to write? Sorry for double-post, I just wanna clear some stuff up...

Well, obviously don't post "reserved" unless you are about to write something then and there. However if something comes up while you are writing, like your dog chews up your GTA game or your dead gramma comes back from the grave then yeah, you can skip and allow the story to continue.

Ryunday Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Roman stared at him and in a slightly worried voice said, “Niko....” but Niko exclaimed on top of him, “So this is the great American dream!” RESERVED. VCHolmes wtf my post is Roman stares at him and in a slightly worried voice says “Niko... ” but Niko talks over the top of him “So this is the great American dream!?” But seriously wouldn’t something like that be against the rules? Even if it is just changing a few words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCHolmes Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'm sorry, I am writing the story in past tense, you wrote it in present tense. To make sure that there's a continuity in the story, I changed it. If you're feeling offended I'll change it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryunday Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Nah I’m not offended I just thought something like that would be against the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vercetti21 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Be sure you're using past tense, Ryunday. @all It's fine for him to have changed it for that reason but anything else is a no.

gta phil gta Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Urgh. Don't know if you guys noticed, but this is the Writer's Discussion forum, not the GTA IV section. You're in a place of culture now, not a place where you race to post as much as you can. If any of you start spamming up a topic in here like that again, I'll lock it on sight. Capiche?

Vercetti21 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) I'm just saying, it makes no sense when one mod's requests contradict another's. Fair enough though, we will try to keep the spam to a minimum. The grip around his neck was loosened, and Niko fell to the ground gasping. As he looked up, a short, dark man was looking at him, holding an AK-47."Are you all right?" the man asked. "Yes, thank you, friend!" Niko said in a gracious tone. "Who are you, and how can I repay you?" Careful with that, French. Niko isn't a p*ssy, your writing almost makes him seem like one. From what we know, he wouldn't be that anxious to repay Jacob, or call him friend. VCHolmes got it back on track when Niko went back to kill the goons, but try to keep the characters as true to their nature as possible.

gta phil gta Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) We didn't choose to be in Writer's Discussion. We were forced to come here. Yeah... so? The fact of the matter is, you ARE here now, and you play by OUR rules - and I won't tolerate useless, mindless spamming in this forum. Posts should be of a contributive nature - pieces of work themselves; criticisms of said work; opinions on them; ideas for new pieces; or in the case of this topic, discussion about the piece itself. However, backtracking through this topic, you'll find page upon page of useless spam that in no way contributes except to the post count of the authors. If you don't like it, go back to the GTA IV forum and spam to your little heart's content. EDIT: Erm, what? My 'request' is that you stop spamming - that's not contradicting the request of any other moderator. Show me where a mod told you to spam and I'll eat my hat post.

Vercetti21 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Just forget about it. I figured if we left all "Finish the Story"-related topics in this thread (besides the actual story thread itself) then spam would be kept to a minimum.

gta phil gta Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Well, I'm not talking about discussion of the story - I'm fine with that. The problem was, a couple pages back or so, there were a good number of posts that were just absolutely pathetic, for example, http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...dpost&p=4479322 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...dpost&p=4479324 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...dpost&p=4479329 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...dpost&p=4479338 http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...dpost&p=4479348 Other things were borderline-pointless, such as the constant "make the thread", "is the thread made yet", "I call 69th post" and whatnot - I prefer things to be of more useful contribution than that. This is in addition to a good number of posts responding to the graphics that held nothing more than two words, "pretty good" - surely more could be said than that. I'm not trying to get at you personally, obviously - the two offenders in my listed posts were mainly Vive La France and TheJonesy, not you - so really most of you are abiding by the rules and not doing anything wrong at all. All I'm saying is, think before you all post - are you truly contributing... because I can't stand seeing topics in here filled with spam - this isn't a chatroom. Thanks, and no hard feelings obviously. I'm just trying to keep our glorious forum clean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vercetti21 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ah, well that's understandable. I misunderstood that you were getting us for spamming by hosting the Story thread inside the Writer's Discussion, which made no sense because: A) It involves writing B) We were forced to make the thread here by another mod Glad things are cleared up now though. And I agree completely, keep the spam out, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokiesmoky Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 "I call 69th post" Whoops... So anyways, I have a question. You said we can only use the information we know by now, but don't you think it's lacking some characters...the only ones we know now are: Niko Roman Lil Jacob Elizabeta McReary Goldberg Lola Don't you think we need to start making some of our stuff up though? And yes, I do get the point of the game, to just finish the 'GTA IV' story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCHolmes Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 @Mokie : Vercetti21 already said that we need to make some stuff up. So go ahead and write the next bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, did you notice this already? “Wait,” said Niko, “Are you taking me to Jacob’s place?” I think it's suppose to be Roman's place. It's the first line in your piece right after they meet.

Vercetti21 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 It's cool. All I know is, someone needs to go ahead and write the next part of the story. If you signed up, don't just sit there, you need to contribute to the story. I guess I should have mentioned this before, but if you sign up and don't contribute at all, I will take your name off the list to make room for someone who does want to write.

VCHolmes Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Mokie, go for the next bit. You're yet to start. Its going to be extremely boring if the same bunch of people keep writing again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
