Hive IC story - Discussion

[Snowflake]

This one.

I was suggesting things happen in the Drones territory or related to Drones could be copied over to the Drones forum. You were perhaps a little too busy to write your Haikus Comrade. I have to say some of the Haikus you wrote are very beautiful though.

BTW, I have edited one of my past post (the little white sail) so that it can be better blended in the story.

I was planning a bit of excitement with an assassination! Governor Gustav is to die, but who did it and why? The only thing is, I am not sure how the Drone players will react to that.

I was thinking of starting the IC story in the "pre Unity" years. Basically people write about our characters life on earth, what shaped them to become the way they are and how they got onto the Unity. By the time we actually get to the point of meeting with the drones everyone will understand that it really is a IC story, not a reflection of the actual game.

It also means we won't be strongly restricted by what is happening in the game, and we would have developed a nice basis for individual story threads.

[Vev]

Like some sort of biography and a story excerpt of what it is like to be in their shoes?

There was a biography thread buried somewhere.

Side note: I've edited and fleshed the meeting post.

[Kody]

Nah not biography. Actual story. Basically your character during his/her younger years. Start writing and make it meet up to the point where you are now.

[Vev]

The events done by the character would be a lot of things and some of use are quite old. Maybe presented as excepts? Anyway I like to keep a few things secret under my belt and let others discover what they are through personal interactions.

[Kody]

Sure, you can still write as other characters. Before the Unity.

I'm sure there's a whole bunch of things that happened with poltics and such while the unity was being built.

[Vev]

Old Earth is doomed. Everyone knows that. Some are just more insane than others. Thankfully this batch of lunatics are dead. Blood coated his hands as Vev personally displaced each fanatic with his knife. Sometimes the old ways are more satisfying. The now dead, high council of the Supreme Death Wish Cult will pose no more danger to the UN Unity Project. Their bleeding, cooling corpses are a reminder of the apocalyptic madness prevalent throughout this ultimately doomed planet. With the head displaced, it is time to remove the body. Cannot have the body flailing around stumbling and wreaking havoc blindly.

Massive detonation amongst the fusion reactors and the ammunition dumps rocked the compound. Giant balls of flames erupted from the ruined bunkers of the Supreme Death Wish Cult. All that is left are flames licking on the remains of hate and violence this cult brought.

Before Unity all of us were leading different lives. A story of that will include too many irrelavent characters and hard to integrate together I'm afraid. People should be able to deduce by now everybody's background more or less. We could of course dig up that buried bio thread and post it somewhere if that's what you are concerned, dear Kody.

[Snowflake]

I hope we can do the copying soon if we want to. This will give the Drone's some time to react. I believe they will like it better if they have a chance to see how the story develops and even shape how it develops. If we brought the entire thing to them they can't change it even if they want.

That means, Marshal, could you start? Or I can copy that for you guys if you don't mind but didn't want to bother.

[Rokossovky]

Um, yea, sure. I may dig up a few posts from the old one to pin onto the beginning.... it will make more sense (and fullfill Kody's Bio thoughts)

Didn't I specifically say it's not a biography.

[Rokossovky]

lol, oh breath man. I was reffering to that, I think they got the point of what I meant. An introduction, a beginning, that sort of thing. But yes, your thoughts on the biography.

Ok somebody make this clearer for me please. We are going to have two IC stories in Drones forum right? One preUnity, one on Chiron? I want to get the on chiron one over fast because I don't want us to go too far before they see it. The preUnity one can start slowly because we haven't even start it yet. It is going to be a big production though, I would have to really go slow on that one.
