Little Wing Guy

"I sure do suspect Little Wing Guy!" cries rabitZ with conviction. Goombella conviction? That remains to be seen.

"But I'm Koops!" cries Little Wing Guy. "I've got the shell and everything! It doesn't work any more, but it's there!"

You're all quite confused by this recent turn of events. Very, very confused, in fact. Why are we here again? Who is that person next to you? Who are YOU?

All votes cast so far have been cancelled. Nobody who had a vote on the table can vote again.

SorceressKyrsty and Marrend are now the only players who can vote for the rest of the phase, which ends at 10:17pm GMT today. I'll end the phase early if they both have votes in before this time.

Also, just as some food for thought, I did change some of the role mechanics.

Paper Mafia

Okay, this post is just so I can see what time it shows as having been posted so I can work something out.

Paper Mafia

Sorry guys, my mother-in-law was taken into hospital and I've been super busy today. I guess you'd be more surprised if I was on time with an update, right?

Anyway, things have HAPPENED. Updates incoming.

Phase ends in 47 hours and 57 minutes. As it stands ldida1 will be ejected.

Paper Mafia

Due to the bitching of people on IRC (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) I will now start the next phase. (I'm feeling a bit better now anyway)

Once again the fog clears.

Once again attendance is noted.

Once again Dudesoft is missing.

"Mama mia!" cries an unknown individual as the fog rolls in again.

Dudesoft has been ejected. He was an audience member.

Hero phase 3 has begun. It will end at 22:17pm GMT on May 10th. Unless I forget and take longer.

Paper Mafia

I should just change the time for my updates. :P

I'm too sick to do this tonight, sorry. I'll start the next phase tomorrow if that's cool with everyone.

Veteran bringing over his skills.

Welcome!

Tau, don't feel too bad; I joined in 2001 as well and I STILL haven't finished the project I started in rm2k.

Make an Interactive Fiction challenge!!!

Aww, I would have entered this if I'd read the topic sooner but 4 days isn't going to be enough to make anything decent.

Facesforce's Collected Writtings

I'll have a closer look later, but the biggest pitfall you stumble into (and I see a LOT of writers doing this) is tense switching. Generally it's best to pick either past or present tense and stick with it. There are exceptions to this but going willy nilly between them is jarring. For example:

"I gasped with shock. An angel flies in front of me."

"I gasped with shock; an angel flew in front of me."

Obviously the second one is better because it's tense-consistent (and also uses a semicolon for less of an abrupt ending to two related independent clauses, but that's a story for another time).

It's good that you write when you're inspired; keep that up. I'll give you a more detailed critique once I've read everything.
