Re: Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread
 

Haven't done much writing lately, and I'm not sure just how to structure the next few chapters.

Also, I've just had to send my brand spanky new Vaio notebook back to Sony for repair (dodgy modem- http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif ) so although I do have another PC and one here at work I could use, I don't enjoy working on them so much.

Still, I'll try to get something posted soon.

Re: Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread
 

My god, is it really six weeks since the Last chapter? Sorry, ppl, things have been hectic.

Anyway, fifteen is up, sixteen is well on the way.

The next few chapters are going to be *really* exciting. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread
 

So.... having read the latest chapter, who is still 100% sure that Sloo is the killer?

Re: Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread
 

Here's another chapter for y'all. More is right around the corner...

Re: Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread
 

Yep, still 99.375% sure that Sloo is not a nice person.

Now, as to whether or not she is the one from the container....

Re: Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread
 

Chapter 17 is now available- a bit of light relief and plot development, makes a nice change from all this emotional stuff. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Chapter 18 is ready for posting, but I want chapters 19 and 20 ready before I do that.

Oooooh, I tell ya, it all starts to get messy very soon... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Also, I'm working on another courier story http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Re: Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread
 

Oh that reminds me: For the courier story, I need some info about ice hockey. Can anyone help? I know we have plenty of Canadians here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Ice hockey terminology: You score goals by getting the puck into the goal, right? I understand you then you have a face-off. Oh, do you have a referee or an umpire? What about linesmen? This is for a futuresport based on ice hockey, so I can afford to make a few things up (the positions, for example), but I'd like it to have some connections to the real thing.

Sorry if these are dumbass questions but ice hockey really isn't a big deal in this country and I have no clue.

Edit 2: I need some team names, but I don't want to clash with existing hockey/ american football teams. Do any of these exist?
Piranhas (i'm sort of stuck with this one already)
Mongeese (A respectful reference to GT http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )
Emporers
Novae

If any of those are unavailable, how about the following backups:
Spikes
Warlocks
Warriors
Wizards

thanks ppl. First one to answer gets a player named after them in the story. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif Hope to upload the story this weekend somewhen.

Just letting you know your fiction page doesn't have a link to Chapter 17. Also, your Chapter 18 link on Chapter 17 links to Chapter 7. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Not that Chapter 18 is posted yet--get with the program, will ya? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread
 

Warriors and Wizards are pro basketball teams. Pirahnas (sp?) are.... baseball, I think? Hmm. Maybe not. But I know the Warriors and Wizards are teams (that play each other this weekend, if I'm not mistaken...)

Re: Othaglot and Cane - Story Thread
 

Thanks ppl. Krsqk, yeah i knew about some of that. Will fix.

I'v mentioned the Plenty Piranhas in the other courier story too, so I guess I'll have to stick with it, unless someone can think of a really nice new "P" word.

BTW, character names al round for you two - slightly respelled though...
