Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Anyone remember this ? You know, we had Aran's blessing and everything to make an Encyclopedia Ermarian for the Geneforge universe? It was going to be loads of fun for me, and maybe a few others? Never got off the ground? And so, I'm calling for the resurrection of the Sucia Archives. We've already basically got all of the categories down; all we need are a few standards and forms for articles, and we can start.

This was a major reference project that had been extensively discussed and voted on in a few polls. The people most likely to write the articles seemed to have developed writer's cramp.

Well-Actually War Trall Emperor Tullegolar Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 You know, if I had been put in charge of this project rather than mediocre weaklings, there would no doubt be tons of articles by now, all written by me, and of course fully illustrated.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Cannister madness is a terrible condition. Get some help with your delusion. The Archives would be from the Tullegolite viewpoint only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Emperor Tullegolar Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Please. You may have only ever seen me argue from the Tullegolite viewpoint, but don't think for a second that I couldn't just as easily have taken up the banner of any other faction and still been just as fanatical. It's what I do. And I think I've made it clear before that my love for Geneforge is greater than my hatred for the lot you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Andraste Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I don't feel like writing, but here's a picture of some shapers to use if this project ever get off the ground: I'm not really happy with the agent, but here it is anyway.

Well-Actually War Trall Emperor Tullegolar Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 As much as I liked that superhero generator thing, I got something a bit more original. I kind of made one of these for each faction a while ago, when the Sucia Archives were first announced (I was still using that stupid paintbrush tool in Flash rather than the far superior pencil). I was gonna submit them for your approval when the faction pages were up, but then you guys did the whole epic failure thing. Now they have no home.

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I checked it a little while ago (a week or less, I think). I probably would've started writing articles late next week if there was still no action being taken. Incidentally, I'm not sure how many of you noticed, but Arancaytar even set up a forum to talk about the project. Andraste: Are those Hero Machine?

Well-Actually War Trall Emperor Tullegolar Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Great, I have to register for that now, too? Why are you making this so difficult?

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Or you could have registered on it two months ago and actually gotten stuff done. But who am I to judge, I'm a procrastinator myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'm debating whether it's worth registering on that forum when I actually haven't played the full games... even though I'm the one who first proposed the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 It's most definitely not worth it. I mean, registering on the forum requires several hours of filling out background check forms, scheduling an interview to determine your eligibility for an account on the Ermarian Network, and paying an annual membership fee of a few hundred dollars. Seriously, if you aren't ready to make this your life's work, don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 You forgot the vow of perpetual celibacy. Though if you do make a shareware game Wiki your life's work, the vow might be superfluous in this regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Nice sarcasm there, Arancaytar. For once, it's obvious. I think the administrators have a bit of work to do over there – setting up forums, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Upon Mars. Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 This is going to be a lot of work. Geneforge is big, Geneforge two is even bigger: the games are stuffed with nice little details about the world of the shapers: it would be difficult to make a full encyclopedia of the geneforge world.

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 It's a heck of a lot easier than an encyclopedia of Ermarian, thanks to the non-existence of sub-canon. And we did that one all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Upon Mars. Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'll try to help you all right. However Geneforge 2 was to me so big i wasn't even able to catch up with the whole story line. I wonder if it 's the case for most of us. The worst part is the names of the not so important people who played a somewhat important role as a soldier,shaper,agent guardian,spy,rebel or even villager in helping you along the way. As for Genforge i finished this game over 20 times i 'll help you on that. A question now why did you call it the sucia archives? I know that sucia is a birth place of great importance but why call it sucia? PS: nice work by the way, Andrste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Slarty and Dikiyoba, just as a note, the forum structure hasn't been set up yet; we only have a test forum.

Hatchling Cockatrice Quiconque Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I can't find any options to set up forums. Actually, I can't find any options to do anything other than edit user preferences; anything else either isn't listed or it says I don't have permission to do, despite being listed as an admin.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 It is now May, and I am now paying attention to this again. I think I managed to set up the forums so they're usable and started a few threads of things to dicuss. So register (if you haven't) and discuss. If you have any problems, send me a private message (on this board) and I'll do my best to take care of it promptly. And to encourage people to participate, Dikiyoba will waive the interviews, membership fees, and vows of celibacy for everyone except for ET, because now that Dikiyoba is in a position of power Dikiyoba hates him.
