So I will start a random topic every week just because!!

I was thinking about high school relationships and how many of my friends were off and on with one guy, or they'd be with one guy for two weeks and then break up with them and 2 days later they're with someone else.

Or how this one guy would date everyone in my group of friends and he'd do them all except me because I was not down with stuff like that. [I thought crap like that was lame--I mean seriously--Why would you wanna be with someone who was your best friend's bf? That stuff is normally off limits but nowadays girls just don't care.]

Now I will say there are those RARE relationships where couples from high school end up getting married and they stay together for 50+ years. I know one couple from my high school that is sooo cute! They got married and now have a couple kids together and are madly in love.

But as for others....Every relationship I've seen has just been pointless. Thoughts anyone? Anyone of you still with your high school sweethearts or do you believe that there IS a point to love in high school?

Does any of you remember the time of the old Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks? What about Lone Wolf? If you do, then you don't have the upper hand, but you're still the more knowledgable in old school stuff ;)

Anyway, I was thinking that maybe we could craete our own FF Gamebook - TOGETHER :o
Basically we must stick to these rules:

1/ Try to stick to the story. I don't like reading about Character 1 in a fantasy setting, then all of a sudden its Character 2 in his post-apocalyptic setting that has no references to the previous setting.

*EDIT* - Basically, its a "Story" but you guys are writing it with me, so everyone has one OR more entries into it. I've posted the first reference and Background, now somebody else can write in one following one from the numbers already written and then chooses their own numbers. I'll keep track of what numbers have been used up, so that I can correct the numbers once you've written the paragraph. That is if you've used one already in use.

Hmmm, can't really think of anything else. For those who do not know what a Fighting Fantasy Gamebook is, then google it, otherwise you have had the good fortune to read/play one, like I have.
Basically we want to be making roughly a 400 paragraph (or reference) Gamebook, with only one ending and several "Insta-Death" references inside it. Gameplay normally ends with the reading of ref 400, but it can be hidden inside the book as well. The creatures inside should be balanced, as well as the items. I'll post the character creation/rules as an individual post or an attachment, depending on how much interest this Thread gets, but here are simple rules:

Three Scores, Skill, Stamina and Luck 9you'll need a number of d6) You never sub from the Initial points you rolled, but the Current (so basically if I rolled a 4 for my skill, my total would be 10, which is now my Initial Skill, but if I must remove a point then it is taken from my Current Skill, which is now 9.)
Skill Formula - 1d6 + 6 (7-12)
Stamina Formula - 2d6 + 12 (14-24)
Luck Formula - 1d6 + 6 (7-12)

Creaturs have Skill and Stamina, and in combat you both roll 2d6 and add your skill. The higehr wins and wounds the opponent for 2 STAMINA damage, if it is a tie nothing happens. You also TEST LUCK by rolling equal to or under your Current Luck Score. Luck decreases by one for each Luck Test. You can also test for luck to see if you can deflect damage or inflict more damage (Take 1 Stamina if PASS, lose 3 if FAIL vise versa for inflicting damage but the opposite).

So basically these are the rules. The Background Section is now to be posted hopefully, as I do not want to take up more space (I've already done so anyway)... ]]> Online Roleplaying OvermindServent http://forums.starcraft.org/showthread.php?t=45823 <![CDATA[Writing Client Based Games'n'shit in Python]]> http://forums.starcraft.org/showthread.php?t=45820&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:38:16 GMT So I want a client based game to be written in python (unfortunately I've been banned from my computer, and hence I'm banned from downloading anything, including the shell).

Anyway, how could I go about doing it while spending as little money as possible (for server space, etc.)?

My intention is to make it text-based, probably stem from principles of D&D and such.

Or perhaps a program that allows for the hosting of maps on grids in D&D for typical gaming online with a local client (so no need for server space; it'd be like a direct connection or something), importing of images (which could appear on a grid), etc. ]]> Technology Annex SolidSamurai http://forums.starcraft.org/showthread.php?t=45820 hey guys http://forums.starcraft.org/showthread.php?t=45819&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:57:45 GMT Whats is up?

It seems like a great game based on the YouTube videos (HDstarcraft, HuskyStarcraft) I saw.
However, Activision has disappointed me greatly with MW2 and I don't want to waste any more money.
If anyone would be generous enough to donate a trial key, I'd appreciate it greatly.

Well, no, this is my frist actual try at writing, after numerous research (there's so much the original Shadowrun rulebook can tell you, as well as cyberpunk themed games...). This staretd out as a two day at teh start of the year, and ended up a total of fourteen pages (thats 7 pages for each day!) Once it came round to my Personal Project for school, I was going to use this as a draft piece, but eventually I cleaned this draft up and presenetd it "as is".

I haven't requested my grade yet, although both my English teacher (whom proof-read it befoehand) and my PP supervisor (whom I had to give it to) both said it was great. So now, I present for you guys, teh Cyberpunk Themed Novelette with no name atm.

*My friend and I rated this Novel "PG", although it doesn't actual confer (is that the right word?) to the Novel ratings of my country, however here is the following we came up with:

Rated PG for
-Mild Infrequent Coarse Language
-Infrequent Violence
-Mild (Infrequent) Sexual References

Not really sure what I can do besides also going all-in and waiting for my main to mine out before expanding.

Note - not fast expand, just expanding.
