Ambrosia Software Web Board: Alraeican-tavern-permission - Ambrosia Software Web Board

I am thinking of turning the Alarican Tavern/ stories into a magazine for all to see (In my neck of the woods we have a prominent zine library).
I believe it is in public domain so this shouldn't be an issue...however, I would like expressed permission from the authors (cuz' I dont want to get sued) before I do anything with it. I wanted to produce a few copies in an effort to sustain interest in the game. While reading the taverns online, they are pretty extensive and my twittering screen is no good for long readings. I would like therefore to produce a hard copy. I dont know all who participated, but I can take a guess based on the current boards, eamil me or please post somthing as to ginving consent to have them produced offline. I will get a list of names I need approval from later in the week. Thanks,
C~

Here is the first instalment. you can psot here, or drop me an email, if a erson dosen't respond I can only assume they dont want their participation published (pr dont read the new posts).

It's fine by me, as long as appropriate credit is given. By the way, if you wanted to go further back than Tavern VII, I think all the prior ones are linked from the 'Best of Cythera' sticky thread.

Just so you know, posts by Ronin, Sideline, sideline character, Sasha, Kwon Chen, theScribe, Flynn, Overmind, Trinias, Wolmark, Leandra, Ulf, Lochinvar and Brianna are all mine. Um, did I miss anyone?

So your basically taking a tavern post/page and reformating it so that it can be submitted to a magazine?

Just wondering how exactly are you going to give credit?

Since I have no way of verifying the legitmacy of your statment, I will need to take it as fact (unless one or more posts expressly that you are not they)...so you have just made my life soo...oo much esier.
+1 Cache 22, as for DJ,
no not to a Magazine, as a magazine. the contents will actually be a magazine, not color, or anything fancy, but in a layout as a magazine. the citation will need to go to screen names, because I have no way of verifying any actual people. The dates of actual posts cited to the poeple, and to Ambrosia Software, forums. Beyond that I dont have a rule book of citation in front of me (I will tonight however, and get the exact requirements).

I'm not sure I quite understand. You're printing the content of all the taverns into a magazine and putting it in a public library? While some of the tavern posts are amusing or have an entertaining thread, I'm not sure simply copying and pasting the tavern content will form an overly coherent piece (seriously, go back and read Tavern II, it hops all over the place) or generate interest in the game (if anything, it might work like advertising a community board - but one that existed five years ago). That aside, I think you're welcome to try, though one week is hardly a lot of time to gather signatures - this board has always chugged along at its own slow pace.

I do know what you mean by it being hard to read online sometimes. I'll warn you I tried printing out one of the taverns once, and it topped 100 pages easily. The online view is deceptive.

I can help confirm he owns these characters, if that adds any weight. If you're still unsure, you can look up the above names in the "Character Info" thread (I believe cache posted as some of them). I don't know if he still has the passwords to his older accounts, I remember something about the email service he used to make all sixteen plus accounts changed, which helped lead to the discontinuation of most of them.

Some of the other names listed are probably joke names, like "obvious one" and "Trwyndaylan" (which looks like an intentional misspelling of one of my old accounts, Trundaylan), especially when you get into the more oddball Taverns - 2 and 3. If you see postings by Tyrael, Trundaylan, or Lemenath (I think that's all), those are mine.

I don't know if you know this, but the new forums allow you to click on the "number of posts" link on the topic selection screen to get a list of all people that posted in that topic. So, if you browse to the appropriate time for the first three taverns (#1 was way back in Fall 2000), you'll have an easier time than scouring each page looking for names. I'd recommend combining all the lists alphabetically at the end, since you will have lots of overlap. (I know I posted in the first seven)

This really doesnt make any sense, what are you trying to do with this...? Maybe make like one pages as an example and post a link to it so we can see what we are signing up for...

I haven't quite given 'my signature' yet, its halfway on with ink dripping on the paper..

And some of the random things added to the humor of the situations.

All right already,
so hears the deal!
What I had in mind was a linking like, or common tavern plots from with each tavern, linking them and have each tavern as a chapter, the whole thing is its own magazine. Any threads that dont fit with the plot will be posted at the end of the chapter, with a listing of their original order. The whole thing is a private publication involving a printer, ink, paper, and staples, not anything official. If the chapters are too long they can be each their own zine. I dont have any made yet, I can try to do a small likage to show the idea. When I am done I will also give an example of citations. I will not make prominent, threads which are unrealted, or dismissive, they will be included at the end.
thanks for the confirmation Avatara,
I will account for that when I get to the first group.
When I get the example made up I will post it. Sorry to be so confusing, I have a mental image of the final product, but it is kinda' hard to portray, *whew*.

i didn't even realize i'd been posting in the Tavern for so long... but if i don't remember my posts, i don't think i have a right to complain about what's done with them. XD so go ahead, do what you like with my writing...

also, just a side note... i initially skipped over reading this topic because i figured something titled 'Alaric' would be related to the actual game... and despite how long i've been around, i haven't actually played Cythera. (it's my dirty little secret...)

Well i would have to say this is an interesting idea, although the fact of matter is that many posts in the taverns relates to TS's and as such will not make sense.
Although Kudos to you for doing this and i am interested in seeing how this hole thing turns out.

Now onto my permissions, I am representing a few people who i know and myself of course.

VI....... No...... due to myself being rather young, and my writing skills being abismal, i would prefer not to have my writing in this, i also speak for Ramir-gull here and he also does not wish for you to include his posts,
this is of course meaning that you are free to add that tavern into the intire project just dont include mine or Ramirs posts in it.

VII. Here i speak for myself Selor and Rhemi.
I wish for all of my posts from page 5 and onwards including page 5 itself, to be included, that means that pages 1 2 3 4 are not to have any of my posts in them.
Rhemi wishes none of his posts included at all.
Selor does not mind having his one post included.

All of my work after these taverns that include Savara and Satori are free to be included, just avoid including Pippin in anything at all.

Cheers Pippin

and good luck with all the hard work if you get around to doing it all.

I guess I didn't know what I was bitein' off here, but OK Pippin I will make it so and thaks for the authors identification. As for DJ, here in front of me I have "Rules for Writers", fifth edition.
Citations for mulitple authors, from an online soure, and unidentifiable authors. This slituation is somewhat unique in that I dont know names, but there are authors, so I will use screen names as the name citation, in from of the rest,

I am basically takin the text and streaming together the similar ideas, if one is deleated, or moved it will all be quotations. example of one tavern/chapter:
"x- -------.
Y- ------,------.
Z- ----,--,-----.
X ----" (X et al (et al, means and others), paragraphs used, and date created).
AT the end of the Tavern (organized, and I will need to know if people want to have things spell checked or [sic]ed. (which is spelling in-correct)).
then others which didn't run smoothly in context, works cited, and that is the document. I have a hard copy of all authors, and will list in the credited works all those screen names. Even if you choose not to be printed you contributed, and will be cited, but your work will not be shown.
the non used paragraphs but approved will go at the end, if not approved they will simply not appear.

cited:
X et al (listing the others), Tavern, page in tavern, paragraphs, website, date created, date used,

I must say, Pippin, your skills have improved immensely since then. Good job!

sorry this is taking so long, I got class competition for time, therefor I will have it down for soon-ish. For the record, I understand the confusion, but it is hard to explain my ideas. I recomend people drop myself an email, with specific questions. Plus these web boards rock. If any ideas come forward I want to hear them, I am tired , and will subsequently sleep.

If it's good enough for cache22 and Avatara, it's good enough for me!
So go ahead and include my posts, or however that works.

Wow has this been an educational crash course in Ambrosia/Cythra, am still working on producing exapmles, but thaks Jehezekel but I dot think Avatara actually gave permission, just confirmed Cache22's creation of accounts. the post might not come till monday. sorry. till then, enjoy the wonderful weather we are having.(joke)

I suppose that I'll go ahead and give my consent to your using my posts in your project. I'll be curious to see the finished project.

Aside from the temperature, it's not really all that bad where I live, although last Thursday I did get about 10 to 12 inches of snow.

I have breaks today and will finaish an example , weather wise I have cold, and no snow...it never snows here. . Temp, hovers at a foggy 40 for a couple months, then up to 60 and if its a hot summer 80, athen back down...wet, drab, cold, no snow. it dodes get into the 20 mid winter though amond cold snaps. thus weather is not pleasent outdoors, but waddya' gonna' do?

either it's really hot there, or you're using farenheit, which I neither can understand or spell. Luckily, I have a unit converter on my computer, so... *small pause here* 20 = -7 celcius (chilly!), 40 = 4.5 celcius (still chilly!), 60 = 15.5 celcius (nice and average), and 80 = 27 celcius. Hey, that's a nice day!

Ya sorry, us Americans cant keep up with the rest of the world...Hey I tought this web board was for Cythra, lets keep politics out


edit:***hahahhahhah, nearly done, withth the hour!!!! ahhahahaha***, I feeel like a mad scientist about to realease the dasterdly creation upon the world....wuwahahahhaha

Alarican Tavern Part VIII
(sample page one of Tavern)
Composed by: Selax at el, started Nov 10 2006, 09:55 PM, completed Dec 3 2006, 05:06 AM
Post #25 on Ambrosia Software’s website Cythra web Forum, combined stories: http://www.ambrosias...howtopic=108282.

Selax: Welcome to next installment of The Alraeican Tavern—Part VIII the new Tavern since June of 2003! Everybody come on in! This picks up where Part VII ended.

Selax watched from his corner as one of the Tavern's drunks got up and managed to move more-or-less in Silverfish's direction. Silverfish unorthodox mode of entering the Tavern (which involved breaking a window) had gotten him yelled at by Brianna. Apparently, the drunk interpreted the yell as meaning that someone needed to kill Silverfish.
Silverfish jumped out of the way as the man lunged at him, and the man missed and hit the man standing behind Silverfish. This man went flying into a group playing poker at one of the tables, ruining the game. The group that had been playing the game all started to accuse one another of cheating by having someone fall on the game because the cheater was losing. They soon started a fist-fight. This fight quickly spread, and, in moments, the Tavern had erupted into an all-out brawl.

Jehezekel: As soon as he jumped out of the way Silverfish swung around and used his electric charge to stun his attacker, but he had been caught somewhat off guard and so was too slow to stop his attacker from hitting a bystander. As the fight spread across the room, Silverfish decided to jump down on the floor and trip people. He started with the nearest enraged poker player.

The Wizard: The journey home from the Encampment (or what was left of it, rather) had been long and tiresome, but at last the group was relieved by the sight of Cythera's largest city, Cademia, on the horizon.

I need some rest, I think, Wizard told himself. At last he could relax for a bit. He was pleased to find that his mount had been well taken care of in his absence.

When Wizard entered the tavern, everything was chaos. He was pushed against the wall by a random patron of the inn, but the man was thoroughly intoxicated. Wizard found no difficulty in brushing the fellow off of him. He ducked suddenly to avoid a chair that was sent flying in his direction.

Looking around for a moment, Wizard detected Selax standing to the side, watching the brawl calmly. "Ahh, Selax!" he smiled. As he crossed the floor, someone's foot flew out, tripping him. Wizard fell flat on his face.

Dark Jet: By the time the group reached Kosha, Talryn was able to walk. Talryn walked in after Wizard and couldn't help but laugh when he tripped. Talryn pushed his way through and ended up throwing a punch or two. He helped up Wizard, then headed for the bar.

After returning with refreshment, he nodded to Selax.

cache22: Despite her earlier display of clumsiness, Brianna deftly wended her way through the tumult with insouciance and aplomb, tray perched on a single hand held high above her head. A drunken patron lunged at her with a broken bottle; the high-sweeping kick she launched in riposte almost took his head off. The glasses on the tray didn't even rattle.

Jehezekel: Silverfish leaped lightly onto the tray; at the same time bringing his metallic element to the fore. He stood on the tray, an oversized statue of a young fairy lording.

cache22: The sudden increase in weight caught Brianna by surprise, causing her to lose her balance. The glasses (and the 'statue') went flying as she toppled backwards, hitting the floor with a thud. The tray rolled around the floor, miraculously missing everyone's feet, then spun to a stop. Brianna blinked in bewilderment at the metallic form that was throwing specular highlights around the room.

"Where in the world did that come from?" She tapped it with her foot; it certainly felt like solid metal.

Brianna hoisted herself to her feet, picked up the tray, huffed, and stalked off towards the bar, rubbing her bruised rump as a substitute for rubbing her bruised ego.

Jehezekel: Silverfish ignited the spilled drinks, and rushed toward a table in the far corner of the room.

Dark Jet: Talryn had downed at least two pints before he saw the fire and drifted away from Selax. He got a refill and feeling a little pyro, splashed half of his pint onto the fire and cheered as the flames exploded outwards. Talryn became sober as soon as he realized that his pants had caught on fire and rolled on the ground trying to smother the flames.

Selax: Meanwhile, the brawl in the Tavern had worsened. It was so bad hardly any of the combatants noticed the fire. Selax sighed internally; he supposed that he may as well see about it putting it out. However, he needn't of worried. Talryn's rolling all over the floor had somehow done a fairly good job of putting most of the flames out; unfortunately—for Talryn at least—the flames on his pants had only worsened by the that Selax reached him. Selax looked down at him for a few moments, considering the best course of action. There wasn't much water in the Tavern, at not enough to smother the fire. Of course, he could've tried smothering the flames with a cloak or some such things, but something that told him that most such things in the Tavern were flammable themselves. He recalled that there was rain barrel outside; it might be of some service. Selax picked Talryn up and quickly made his way toward the door. Due to his haste and his burden, he didn't really have time to make his way quietly through the fight raging all over the Tavern, so he was forced to knock out, shove, or sometimes throw people out of his way. When he was finally outside, he located the rain barrel and dropped Tarlyn in it, extinguishing the flames. Then, having made sure that Talryn was all right, he calmly went back inside.

Rapierian strode up to the door of the Tavern and glanced inside. Seeing chaos and discord, he was immediately delighted; he began to think of ways to make the chaos even more amusing...

cache22: A cowled figure, face hidden in the shadow of the cape's hood, slouched up to the door of the tavern. He paused briefly at the sight of Talryn dozing in the rain barrel. A slight lift of his shoulders might have been a shrug. He entered the tavern, allowing the door to swing closed behind him as he surveyed the bedlam inside. Nobody paid him much attention at all, which was just as he liked it. A path opened before him as he shuffled towards the bar. It wasn't like there was any magical force pushing people out of the way - it was just that being anywhere near him was so darned depressing.

"What can I get you?" the bartender asked. The man didn't bother him much; depression was a bartender's stock in trade.

Beer.

The bartender blinked. It was like the word had entered directly into his brain, bypassing his ears completely.

"Er, coming right up," he said with a shrug. He'd seen too many strange things in this tavern to worry about a man with no voice.

Dark Jet: Talryn got up some moments later and fought his way over to the bar and asked the bartender if he still had his room. Suprised Talryn went to the room he had paid for a while back, and changed clothes. Once dried off he headed back dwon stairs and bought a drink for Selax and admired the few flames still going. A small bit of snow started to fall and Talryn smiled and drank.

Ikaterei: The door to the tavern swung open and a tall, skinny boy of about eighteen walked in. He was wearing a somewhat tattered black cloak, a blue-and-black-striped woolen hat jammed over messy white-blonde hair, and a moody expression that looked like it had etched itself permanently onto his face. A bag made of rough-looking material was slung over one shoulder, and a sword hung from his hip on the other side.

He strode across the tavern, seeming to not even notice the catastrophic brawl going on, and sat down at the bar, muttering to himself. Most of the words were indistinguishable between the loud crashes and yells occuring around him, but the occasional comment drifted through the noise, sounding something like "snow... stupid weather... travelling... sleep outside" and interspersed with a colourful selection of curse words.

"Can I get you a drink?" the bartender asked in a voice that implied this was nothing out of the ordinary to him. The boy, however, nearly jumped out of his skin, looking around somewhat spastically. "What? What? Who are you? What do you want?"

Unfazed, the bartender repeated his question. "Something to calm your nerves, maybe?"

"I am calm!" The boy tugged on his hat in a motion that seemed habitual. "I'm fine! I want water. Yes. Water. I want some water." He peered around the tavern again, eyes wide, and suddenly something seemed to register in his mind. "Why the HELL is this place on FIRE?!"

cache22: The cowled man's fingers drummed against his still full beer glass, making and odd clinking sound. He neglected to acknowlege the newcomer's presence, yet the boy distinctly heard a voice echo inside his head:

Fire. Everything ends in fire. Or water. Or teeth. Or falling a really long way. Or ...

The voice paused, then sighed.

Anyway, everything ends.

Selax: Meanwhile, Selax was sitting at his table in the corner with Wizard and Talryn. Having little need of the drink that Talryn had gotten him, he had thanked Talryn and had finally ended up giving it back to Talryn. For the past few minutes, Selax had been considering whether he ought to do something about the growing fire in the middle of the Tavern or about the brawl still going on around them.


Outside the Tavern, Rapierian was trying to suppress his laughter. He had sneaked into the back of the Tavern and had dumped a few various kinds of potions—some of which he made himself and some of which he had obtained from the local alchemist—into the vats of drink stored there. By now, about half of the drinks in the Tavern must be laced with the stuff, he mused. Of course, there were those who wouldn't be affected by the potions at all, but still he hoped the results would be hilarious.

Dark Jet: Since Talryn hadn't completely recovered from his earlier drunken state, the extra drink that he got back from Selax made him even more drunk. With this he felt like he was offened by the fight, staggered on his legs and then lunged after one patron and then tackled another.

Selax: Rapierian, frowning, watched from outside the Tavern.

"I know that concoction should've taken effect by now," he muttered to himself. He briefly wondered if Talryn's actions were related to it but dismissed that as unlikely.

Just as he was beginning to think that his mixture of potions hadn't worked at all, he heard someone inside the Tavern yell, "RUN! IT'S A GIGANTIC, FIRE-BREATHING, MAN-EATING TOAD!!!!!!!"

Someone else screamed, "WATCH OUT FOR THAT DRAGON!"

Listening to the chaos erupting inside the building, Rapierian smiled.

Much better, he thought to himself.

The Wizard: Wizard was relaxing in his seat when the sudden screaming awoke him. As he watched everyone run around aimlessly, one word came to his mind, Rapierian.

Jehezekel: Upon realizing that most of the patrons were now hallucinating, Silverfish emerged from below his table, and started walking around on the underside of the rafters.

Dark Jet: Talryn, who by this time had gotten two more drinks, downed one then walked over to a halucination and begun talking to it. He had begun to swallow some more of his drink (presumably it contains alcohol), then he saw Silverfish walking upside down and gaged. Talryn waved his arms around to get help with the fact that he was choking.

Jehezekel: Talryn was already turning quite purple by the time Silverfish decided that he himself was the only one in the room who either noticed or was concerned that he was choking.

Silverfish swung down from the rafter and head butted Talryn in the belly. He hoped that would work, since 18" is much to small to do the Heimlich properly.

Selax: "...and so, Rin ended up having her wings turned pink!" Shi'nayne grandly swung her arm into the air, as if for emphasis, and Moonshadow giggled.
"And you're sure it was an accident?" She asked, an amused undertone in her voice.
"Of course." Her companion said, smiling a little too innocently. Oh how the little fairy loved mischief. Moonshadow shook her head, failing at keeping the smile from her face as they wandered through the town. Or rather, she wandered, and Shi sat on her shoulder, resting her wings (or so she said - Moonshadow rather suspected she liked being carried around).
Up ahead, from where she knew the Alraeican Tavern was, the noise they had been hearing became steadily louder. Curiously she neared the tavern door, noticing the human man standing just outside and watching whatever was happening with a decidedly satisfied expression. She stopped walking right next to him, peering into the tavern's interior. At first glance it seemed hardly worse than it usually was - until she noticed the patrons were not actually fighting each other, but instead seemed to be going after or running from invisible opponents. She sighed. It wasn't particularly hard to tell there was some sort of magic at work. something wrong with the food, perhaps, she mused. Or the drink.
On her shoulder, Shi squealed and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. What looked like a (very) undersized human male was walking along it, feet over head. Movement caught Moonshadow'e eye -- one of the drunker patrons of the bar had broken off the leg of a stool and was moving towards the little human in what he probably thought was a very stealthy manner, on tiptoe with the chairleg-turned-bat raised over his head. It was quite obvious what he intended to do.
Moonshadow glanced at Shi, who had jumped off her shoulder and was hovering near her, semi-translucent wings beating quickly to keep her in place. "Your turn or mine?" She asked, but the fairy had already raised her little hands, pointing them at the drunk patron. Shi new little of offensive magic, but her knowledge on defensive spells was superb, and she had quite creative ways of using them. Moonshadow leaned against the doorway, watching as a soft green glow began engulfing the patron, and his tip-toed sneak became slower and slower. His grip on the bat loosened, than failed completely, and it fell to the ground with a loud thud, incidentally startling the little human on the ceiling. He spun to face his would-be attacker, but whatever he planned to do became redundant. The drunk's eyes fluttered close, he swayed on his feet for a moment, and then fell over with another thud -- moments later, his snoring began to fill the tavern.
Definitely something with the food or drink, she decided. After all, nobody outside the tavern had been affected by this particular kind of madness.
"I really just wanted a bit of peace." Moonshadow remarked to nobody in particular. "Relative peace." She amended, considering the scene in the tavern. She pushed away from the doorframe decisively, straightening. "I think this has gone on long enough."
"Spoilsport." Shi muttered, but Moonshadow ignored her.
Instead she raised a hand in front of her face, flexing her fingers experimentally. After a few moments, they began glowing with a soft white light and she nodded, apparently satisfied.
"Oh look, that's Brianna over there!" Shi exclaimed suddenly, pointing. "Maybe she knows what's going on here."
"Maybe she has a quiet room somewhere where it's possible to relax." Moonshadow murmured, and Shi shot her a look.
"I think you've had too much quiet in the past months." She objected. "In fact, I think we should just watch the show a little!"
The man next to them made an approving noise - he, apparently, was enjoying the show greatly. Moonshadow graced both him and Shi with a skeptical look.
"Come on, it'll be fun." Shi grinned widely. "And if it gets really nasty, we can still stop them."
Finally Moonshadow shrugged. "Fine," she conceded. "Let's find Brianna and get something to eat." Shi nodded enthusiastically and flew off into the tavern, Moonshadow following at a slower pace. The glow around her hand never subsided; she wouldn't heal the patrons of whatever was affecting them -- yet -- but the spell she had readied would purify her food and drink of whatever was causing the patrons' strange behavior.

Buzzzzy: Uzsuy hesitated entering the Tavern, but then desided to shrink himself and enter. Only he realised he couldn't open the door then. Instead, he waited outside near the door.

Jehezekel: Silverfish was startled to see a would be attacker fall asleep in a green glow, and looked around hastily to see who was the source of the spell. But all he saw after a few moments of looking around was a female, half his height, flying in through the doorway. He hastily hid on top of a large chandelier, only peaking out every few seconds to make sure of he was safe.


The font is set to Verdana, and 12. point font, that was what the majority of people were using. The spacing is single. In a full compliment the document will have all the pages this is an example of one page.
Author screen names, compiled:

Ikaterei,


*phew*, It is not perfect, bu thtat is the general idea. This is of course a sample and the Alarican taverns will be seperated if one Zine is soo large it could be seperated into parts 1 and 2 or whatever, the content unchanged.
I will est easya dn hope a few more post their approval, then I may begin working, I have enough to start, but the document is still going to look sparse without a few more signatures.
~cgends, drop me n email with questions, my prophile will collect them. I think I should go now, this board is too long for its own good. yarrgalral...happy holidays allzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZ. (I hope not stealing your catch phrase Buzzzy)

The big wall of text without any spacing actually belongs to Moonshadow, her posts usually stand out that way.

Now that I've got a better idea what you're trying to do, I guess I'll give my permission. Looks like a monumental task though.
