well you know that i said that it would be nice if someone took some of the stories(like the Undine Stronghold etc..), organized, edit and post it on the chronicles page? well how about when one of the stories end we could get someone(s) to use Coldstone after it is released to make a new Cythera related game

I like your idea! Just one thing, if you took the messages from team stories, you might have to get permission from the posters.

yeah. probably. but i can't think of a reason why they would decline something like that. they would also have to be given recognition of course.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I certainly don't have the time, but I imagine that anyone is welcome so long as they stay pretty true to the story.

Sounds cool. I'm planning to make a version of Cythera in Coldstone, with better graphics and more missions. Maybe I could work on those stories, too...

You would be a good person to do it Avatara, go for it!

I am. When they are closer to completion, I'll start posting what I'm working on.

A few slight changes will have to be made in them because there are too many inconsistancies.

I'd like to write up the Undine Stronghold, if nobody minds. Of course, different perspectives on the same story could be interesting.

What do you mean by that? Telling it from a different person's point of view? Or two people telling it at once?

I don't have any objection Slayer.

I mean having two different people telling the story in their own way. It would be a good way to get a feel for how different people felt about the story. Some parts would recieve more emphasis from different people. I think that the subtle differences in the telling of the story could help to get a more balanced view of things. After all, it's the little things that really count.

I agree. I think we should do that.

how about splitting the story into teams. like

Slayer team
fanantic team
rogue team
....(can't remember everyone Posted Image)

and each team would write the story from each point of view.

Sounds good, but I doon't know when I'll have the time to write my version Posted Image I'm kinda like the narrator in the original, though, so maybe I don't have to. You tell me.

Only problem with that is that people could read one, two, or maybe three versions of the story. However, I don't personally know anyone that would want to read nine or ten retellings of the same story. I could be wrong.

Of course this means you all have to fight to the death to get those three or four slots. Posted Image

I'll drop out of it, I have the Once Again story to work on...and as soon as kestrel gets in gear, it'll be up and the story will evolve into something that will continue to get better...
