I'm starting this for a place to put story line specific issues here. It's for things you want to post so that everyone can read it. Hope it's helpful.

Oh, and it might be helpful to put something in the subject for which your reply post here is referring.. like the name of the strings it refers to, if it'll fit. Just a suggestion.

Just an FYI to give a general feel for the timelines..

Arctic Bedlam and Survival Instinct are strings running simultaneously from start. On to the next stop -- started at least six months or more beyond the beginning of the other two. That's not to say the content in all or some of these won't work to catch up with each other at some point soon.. or might not at all. Right now, Survival instinct is behind but only because there hasn't been enough real time to catch up on it. Not sure if that's a help. Any questions or suggestions, PM me or Shauri. Thanks! ;-)

As of today, the posts I just made in the strings Arctic Bedlam and On to the next stop... have caught up with each other as far as time frame. They are now simultaneous with each other.

Survival Instincts is also current with Arctic Bedlam and On to the next stop. That's like, Triple Play.

Same page event in these strings with Aquil's use of the Force to briefly connect all things:

On to the Next Stop;

After the Fall;

The Search;

Survival Instrincts

Some discussions were made in a PM about the differences between Force sensitivity, Psionics, and various magic like divine, arcane and sorcery. If anyone feels conflicted we can make this a bit more public and talk about it some more, if only to help clarify and bridge understanding. I know the interpretations can be different and I don't want cause problems with it and hope we can all agree a consensus... if only while playing on this board..

Basically in a nutshell the Force connects everything in some way. I hope it was successfully relayed with Alex, Sha'uri and Lyndra. if not, well..er.. um.. oops? :cool:

Magic vs Force... I hadn't thought of that as being the same at all. Hadn't thought about it at all but I guess If one were to relate the two... I'd say the opposite depending on the type. I'd say the Force was more of a Divine nature then anything. Clerics don't used themselves other then as a conduit for their dieties energy. They don't tire, their strength comes from how close they are with their god. Arcane, especially the sorcery, is more like psionics in that it uses from within the person's own ability.

Quoting myself up there... and to add to that, one could equate metachlorines as the conduit source. And at the same time one coudl argue metachlorines as the source to a person's own ability with magic.

No... I want to say that Magic is not the same as the Force. While similar in nature, they are not the same. Kind of like base colors vs the rest.... That it is slightly different. That Metachlorines are known to be connected with use of the Force and that's it. You have to have them to use the Force. You don't have to have them to use magic. So, magic is not the Force.

However, that something else (undefined?) is connected with use of magic wether it's by that person's own driving will to weave the magic (sorcery), or the more scientific venue (wizardry), or a spiritual connection with another being to allow the use of such as with a cleric.

As for Psionics... that too should be something different from magic and the force. similar yet different.

Erm...that's actually midi-chlorians. :) And I have to tell you, even being the hard-core SW fan that I am, midi-chlorians as a conduit to the Force is still a debatable subject, even if it is Lucas canon. But that's neither here nor there - here I suppose we can say it's being used to establish the difference between magic, psionics and the Force.

But I will not be adopting a similar concept for the Halcyon in Pharos Station. I much prefer their abilities to be more mysterious in origin.

Aquilonius Skywalker

Date: 2009-07-08 10:27 EST
On another, less argumentative note. My purpose in making everyone on Exodii be able to feel it (including psionics and even mundanes that have no magical, pionic, or Force ability) was to demonstrate the depth and strength of the connection Aquil had made to everything in the system. Those with Force sensitivity would be able to feel it to a greater degree because, naturally, the person doing it is Force sensitive himself.

The purpose behind a psionic being able to feel it to a greater degree is equally as simple - a psionic person has more awareness of what goes on in their mind and is more sensitive to connections to it of that nature (at least, I would assume so) because of the nature of their abilites, and while Aquil's connection to everything was spiritual in nature, it was also telepathic at the same time, and so a person or being with those abilities would have been aware of that sort of connection.

As for the magical in nature being able to feel it the same way...that's a toss-up, really. A magical being with telepathic or even empathic abilities could, again by virtue of those abilities, pick it up, but anyone else might be questionable. Thoughts?

Okay, so I don't knows hows to speel er speech! :razz: :lol:

Even if the Midi-chlorians aren't exactly a proven fact in the lucus world, they are pointed strongly that direction and I have never seen it called Magic in the concept of the substance, just in the general concept that it was something not known or unexplained. In the world of DnD, it's more of a substance instead of a general concept of the unknown or unexplained. I believe there needs to be a seperation of concepts (Force, Magic, Psionics) somewhere along the beginning or what is the point of having or mentioning them in the first place? Seems kinda disrespectful in some way if their concepts are blurred too much. Does that makes sense?

Yep, it is establishing the difference. I'm gonna go with you have to have midi-chlorians to use the Force because the Force is a different thing from Magic or Psionics. Also, you once asked me if the Force is effected by the anti magic zones. I told you no. If we say the Force is some kind of magic then I will have to change that answer. But I won't. I remember when I played with Rick that same thing came up, now that I think about it. I believe I allowed the use of the Force then, too. I thought I did. So the Force is not Magic at all. It is different.

If any mages use the force in their magic it is only by their own force sensitivity and means that not every mage has a chance to learn how to use those spells as they are. Those not force sensitive who want to use a combination force/magic spell like that would have to research and learn to mimic it through completely magical lines. In fact, if it is a combination of Force and magic, then while in the antimagic zones that part that is magic won't work, therefore that spell won't work.

I think I'm gonna go with psionics being different from magic and Force, too. However...

and while Aquil's connection to everything was spiritual in nature, it was also telepathic at the same time, and so a person or being with those abilities would have been aware of that sort of connection.

Key word, Telepathic. That is the connection. Telepathy is not a concept of substance to use but an action type concept, like running or jumping or throwing a ball of fire. Telepathy, telekinesis, making bolts or balls of elements these are all actions that can be accomplished with the Force, Magic and Psionics.


As a side note for the Flow in Pharos... mystical is a wonderful thing and that's fine. However, I'll remind you that there is No Magic in Pharos universe. Magic, as I believe they were mostly meaning it in the basic DnD'ish concept, was one of the no no's just like using SW or ST. It's like using the Force there instead of the Flow... It's like seeing a Jedi (oh bad word there! lol ) instead of the Halcyon. The book gets thrown for using those elements. To say that the Flow is Magic will likely open a can of worms with some people there. Believe me, it wasn't my idea but i feel that I have to go along with it. There were reasons this was done. Just a freindly reminder.

Oh, I know that. And you'll never catch me referring to the Flow as magic of any kind, though there will without a doubt be those who 'cast spells' in order to use it. It will still be the Flow, in this case the Force under a different name - I'm just not letting there be any concrete scientific method for detecting it or explaining why certain people can use it and others cannot.

Shauri

Date: 2009-07-09 19:30 EST
I'm cringing with the phrase. I can just see people making an issue just over the use of the phrase *cast spells* and if some people don't make an issue, others will make an issue that an issue wasn't made and ... I hate worms.I know I understand what you mean, but there will be others that will take that and open that can I talked about.

Maybe consider using a different term. Just because we call it magic or casting a spell doesn't mean it has to be called that. What if theys was twittering (casting) a curse or blessing (bad spell, good spell). That would be one way. I"m sure if you thought about it something else might come to mind, probably a better phrase.

Anyway, that's totally running away from my board, my world and my rules, and totally away from RDI area. I hope that means we're all on the same page with those. :cool:

Anyway, want to appologize if I haven't been keeping up so well. Been pretty busy this week still trying to adjust to my new work schedule. I probably won't be on this weekend, got to serve food at a charity block party right after I get off work. Yeah. I'm gonna be dead that day. I'll try to get some stuff posted tomorrow but I dunno how much. I just don't seem to have as much time with this schedule as I did the other one even though I work the same amount of time. It's got me really displaced.

Shauri

Date: 2009-08-24 11:02 EST
I think I messed up on the time frame. :oops: :lol:

Yeah, like that part in Arctic Bedlam where Sha eats her first soul the woman giving birth.. and in the other string with Alex and Aquil sensing it just after Aquil's arrival...

vs...

....when Bri and Cadence came from RhyDin to Exodii City, which was morning when they left RhyDin and afternoon when they arrived per the storyline on Ravensheart board, Sutures. It should've been Exodii City was on the same time as RhyDin city, but I think I wrote it opposite somewhere along the line. Bad dislexia!

I don't know if anyone else caught that, but I just wanted to clear that up. And I'm not sure how to clear that up. Exactly. Well, several ideas but... I"m probably forgeting something somewhere again.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Shauri

Date: 2009-09-11 22:21 EST
Okay, no thoughts.. no suggestions.. it's simply ignored. It's a time warp thing we're just overlooking.

Next subject: Web pages.... mine are about to go bye bye. Geocities is closing down and so all my info there is going to be gone in October. So, any links to them will have to be replaced. Any suggestions?

Shauri

Yes, lovely conversations... :roll:

Photobucket works in a pinch. At least for pertinent pictures.

Shauri

Shauri

Just to clarify to everyone, there will be two major battles before the end of Sha's story in darkness. Right now, things are gearing up and heading towards the first...

There are some sideline excerps happening in the RhyDin world that I would like to get mostly done before launching into the first battle... a cemetary scene in RhyDin Cemetary, and a kidnapping or two in another RhyDin place. :cool:

Yes, those two involve a different time phrame from each other and from the time we're currently depicting in Exodii.

Any questions, feel free to PM me.

Thanks everyone for hanging in there and being a part of this so far. :grin:

Shauri

Onyxia, the stasis post was awesome! Did you draw up that pic? That's actually cool, it looks like a kalto tank, which the med lab does have. I'm cool with using it to keep Onyxia in stasis, though there is a deeper one, more like an almost frozen state... think SG-1 type technology. Technology in the Citadel, and Exodii really, is kinda mixed between genres so the kalto tank fits. :cool:

Just an FYI, since the Citadel was empty of everyone but Sha'uri when she was abandoned in the ice fields, there are very few real people qualified to run it at this point. Basically, just Sha and the team sent to investigate the Citadel are qualified to run equipment there. So, Medical doctors and technicians will be holographic and only brought up on an as needed basis, as are other essential working positions through out the citadel. They're all computerized, so there won't be too much in the way of scans, test results and monitoring with that technology that they will miss.

The holograms, though not exactly sentient, do have personality quirks that make them seem real. They were not designed to be evil quirks either.... Alex designed them ... although they dO follow orders loyally to who is in charge. Sha has obviously gained control on that position.

I haven't written up anything on these holograms, but if anyone feels the urge to create some into more of an NPC to use in their posts, I'm okay with it if it helps you flesh out your post and also helps the storyline through it's basic outline.

Hope that helps! ;-)

Onyxia

Date: 2010-03-13 11:41 EST
Yeah, I did the image. Though I have waaaaay more Devious devices in my runtime. ::evil grins::

I tweaked the story just a little to reflect the points you brought up. Nothing major, just an update to keep from stepping on toes. ;)

Draconia-moon-rose

Date: 2010-03-14 11:04 EST
Thank you for the info about the holograms, I'll probably run with that, I'm waiting 'til your next post, Sha.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the next post is yours? :)

Shauri

Date: 2010-03-14 15:42 EST
Meh... you were on my toes? :lol: Thanks for the update, Onyxia. Either way was cool with me. :cool:

Starri..You mean in the After the Fall string? Doesn't have to be mine first. What I was gonna post takes place away from Star and will be over in minutes compared to his couple hours for his leg to get mended....so it doesn't really matter who posts first. Gives you some time to run with the hologram. Which I have no real thought, not even male or female, other then it's a hologram, so... run with it. You get to flesh out that NPC.

If you want to wait, that's fine. Unless you planned to have him do something bold and stupid? ::eyebrow wiggle::

On the other hand... now that I think about it... maybe I should post first. Star might have a reaction to it.

Shauri

Date: 2010-03-14 21:03 EST

Onyxia, I don't know how much RP you want or had planned or that can happen with a character in stasis, but I have a thought to use that string you started at a slightly later time. Probably during the time when Onyxia is brought out of stasis and actually gets used as bait. I thought it would fit nicely in your string there. If you have no objections? Let us know. I can start a different string for that if you want. :cool:

Speaking of pictures, I've readjusted some and put back into my informational strings about Exodii and the Lands and stuff. I know they suck, but hey... they're better then my stick figure drawings. I don't show ANYONE those. :lol:
I also added an info string on the Citadel.

Time frame notation:

As of right now, After the Fall is about one to two days ahead of these in order - Survival Instincts - about a day, Casting the Anchor, ....and another day (Ravensheart) - about a day and a half, and furthest behind in time is The Search - by about two days.

Lyndra

Date: 2010-04-11 21:29 EST
Yeah, fix my board? :shock: :lol:

Seriously, I just tried to post with Sha and it wouldn't go through. I tried yesterday and it wouldn't go through. I'm almost tempted to post Sha's stuff with this screen name but I'm not even sure this one will go through. So this is a test of sorts.

Anyway, I reported it and it seemed to go through okay... I hope. Looked that way at any rate. Hopefully they'll get her fixed soon. In the mean time I just keep adding to my post cause I keep thinking of things. :lol:

Eh, well... what else can I do?

Lyndra

Date: 2010-04-11 21:30 EST
figures this one would work. Makes no sense why my other name won't work. ::shrug::

Lyndra

Date: 2010-04-11 21:39 EST
Oh wow.... I did just try to post with Lyndra in the After the Fall string, and you know what? I think there's something wrong with the string itself. I got the same error message.

Posting Error.

Great.... :roll:

All right, who broke my string?! :twisted:

grrrr....

Shauri

Date: 2010-04-11 22:27 EST
I wonder if it has anything to do with writing in MS Word and copying it over?

I just like... sent myself a bunch of PM's with Lyndra, and eveyrtime I try to send what I've written for my post, it doesn't go through. Anything else is fine so far. and I sent Aquil some messages too and it was the same thing. It's got me baffled. Kinda funny, too. You should see what I was trying to post. It's so... Ironic!! :lol:

anyway, just wanted you all to know I got some forum issues going on and I haven't forgotten or been ignoring anyone or anything. hopefully this will be resolved soon.

Yep, not that I can see how that would effect posting or PM's, or more to the point of why that one post I'm trying to post won't go through either one, but other different posts I make do? .. but yeah, I did.

I haven't tried to post it yet today but I'm giving it a few days. I reported it enough, haven't heard anything from them yet and so I'm just gonna wait to see what the admins come up with. ::shrug:: And if I don't get a timely response, I'll just try to start another string for it and see if that don't work.

Draconia-moon-rose

Date: 2010-04-12 21:18 EST
If it's something with MS, just try copying it from there into a notepad document. That'll clear out all the formatting off the text. Then it should paste, but if it's an issue with the forum, I honestly don't know what to say. I see though, that you got a test post in. Yay!

Shauri

Date: 2010-04-12 21:36 EST
Yeah, I did, but getting something through that was never the problem. It's getting what I have typed up in Word to go through in a post or even to a PM. I've never had that problem before. I always, normally, use Word to spell check. if I spell check. So that means I copy/paste from Word.

Anyway, Xen is working on figuring it out. If need be, I'll just retype the thing fresh and see if that goes through. Then there won't be any doubt about word processors.

And yeah, I did try to push that post through today again, but as you can see all I managed was the little test notation. I was hoping to edit that one and get it to go through but that didn't take either. I even tried posting it to another board but it wouldn't go, so... whatever is going on is a recent glitch not just my board. So I'm trying to be patient and help Xen figure out what's going on so he can get it fixed.

And before anyone says it ::coughaquilcough:: it's not that it's too big. I tried to do just a small part of it and it still wouldn't take, so... it's not the size that does it. erm... I'm sure I've done ones bigger then this one before and they went through just fine.

Oh well... I'm sure we'll get somethign figured out soon.

Shauri

Date: 2010-04-12 21:40 EST
I just had a thought, though. Does anyone else have MS Word and do you have any problems copy/paste from there to post here? or any other board using MS Word? And do you use IE?

Just checking....

Draconia-moon-rose

Date: 2010-04-12 21:46 EST
Lol. Yeah, it wouldn't make sense for there to be a character limit for the posts on the site.

::Crosses fingers:: We will, I really wanna see Sha'uri's reaction. Lol. There's irony that it broke here. It's good to know that it's not just your board, though.

EDIT: Didn't wanna double post. I have used word for Starrie's longer posts that I couldn't type up all in one go. It didn't give me any trouble, besides paragraphs being huge.

I use Mozilla Firefox

Shauri

Date: 2010-04-12 21:53 EST

I've had problems in the past with posting and the copy paste function. I shut down the browser on that one.

Shauri

Date: 2010-04-13 11:19 EST
Word 2003 here. Never had any problems until the other day. I posted in one string then went to post in the other one and found it wouldn't go through. So wierd.

Anyway, did you mean you shut down the browser and the problem is solved? or the browser shuts down automatically by itself as a reaction of the problem?

Anyway, as soon as I can get the straight nonstop time to, I'll try to retype from scratch and see if the post won't go through. Not sure when I'll have that kind of time, don't forsee in the next few days, but as as soon as I can, I will try that one. It would hAve to go through then. Right? ::wimpers::

Corina Moceanu

Date: 2010-04-13 13:01 EST
I manually do it.

Sometimes I will copy something, but the clipboard doesn't send the right information. It sends stuff I copied previously.

MSIE?

Shauri

Date: 2010-04-13 22:40 EST
Yay! Xen got it in there! Even though he said he had to manually put it in.

Anyway, my post is up now. You're not going to believe what he came up with as to why there was a problem. He said there was something stange about Starrie's quote, something strange about when I made it into a quote. He's not sure what made it strange, but it's what was stopping the post from going through.

So I guess it was me that broke my own string. :lol:

Anyway, I guess the string can resume as normal now. whoot!

Lol.. Sorry I poofed like I did, things are getting hairy here. If push comes to shove, just grab Starrie and sling him over someone's shoulder. I'll roll with it. He'll just be very prone to getting lost in his own head. ::Nods::

Shauri

Date: 2010-04-26 11:48 EST
No prob! :smile: Don't worry about things here. I'll take care of it. I'll try not to let Sha maime or corrupt him too horribly. ;-) j/k

If you've noticed the extra page and the count of posts being off for the string - After the Fall... don't worry. You're not missing anything.

Some kind of glitch going on, probably linked to that problem I had posting, which turned out to be something wierd about the quote on Starrie. See what happens? Maybe the attempts are ghosted there and the count sees them but we can't view them.. or something. I dunno. It's just another wierd thing going on with that string. :lol:

Funny... smurfet! :razz: +bouncy+ Yeah, I know, the story is about the slowest thing I"ve ever done before. But it's been good I think. So far. Just been too nice out lately and I've been too busy, or not wanting to freeze in front of the AC since it's right beside my head here... brr... so haven't gotten a whole lot of any writing done. Too difficult to concentrate.

Shauri

..........not to mention too many prayers on my mind. Got some family going through some seriously rough medical issues lately and one who might not make it. So... sorry if my head just isn't in the game right now.

I think when I finally get it there, I might vapor over some things -write up a summary of battle preps and such - just to jump start it into the battle. So if anyone has some things that they just don't want to vapor over, or points that you want brought out specifically during the Vaporing... dO let me know soon so that I can put those in or else leave room for you to do so.. which means let me know so I don't write something in to totally mess you up on it. I'm always open to PM's.

Shauri

Date: 2010-08-30 15:56 EST
No thoughts? Anyone?

Last chance before I finish up and post to get things rolling again ...... I'll give ya a few more days to contact me before I launch the vapor into the battle. There will be a new string for that one.

Aquilonius Skywalker

I think, as far as me and my lot are concerned, we can vapor over the briefing and such, though I did want Aquil to have a talk with Alex before things got really going...

AlexArrowny

Cool. I'll post up and vapor over the current meeting and slip gears on The Search to let you do your meeting with Alex. We can work on that over the next week'ish or so (holiday coming up and all) while I finish up other posts and get them up. We'll hold off on the Battle post until you've gotten where you want to be with that meeting. That way, if any plans shift because of it, an overall view of the battle plan can be worked into the Battle post.... which I planned to try and do anyway. I think that'll work well enough.

Still working on posts leading to battle. Just wanted you all to know I'm not being idle, just waiting to post when I have them all nice and lined up, so expect a lot of writing posted in the near'ish future when I do get them done. It's a lot but I want them to have their ducks in a row when I do get them up. Thanks to all for being so patient.

Thank you! :grin: I thought you'd appreciate it. I figure for as good as Sha'uri can be, I should give her an equally evil side... or sides. Plus, what she just did, I figured it would definitely fit in to the scheme of things not only for her but for your character, too. Feel free to post a reaction. I'm working on another post that'll pick up at that 30 minute mark when the doctor is supposed to begin the wake up process and take it in to line up with the start of battle. Plus the actual start of the battle post. Might take me a bit to get done, but I'm working on it.... and other things.

September, October, November.... etc... I can't believe it's March already!!! :shock:

Time goes so fast and I guess I'm not the only one who's been.. busy. Even so, I have not given up on here. I'm just being really, really slow. I'm entitled. I'm a grandma now! :lol: :cool:

Anyway, thought I'd leave a note and maybe try to rekindle my love for this place. I've been having thoughts lately, trying to oil the gears in my head back into motion again.

kinda thinking about blowing past all the Scarred event SL's and writing a rough outline of the events, as it pertains to the Exodians. I'd spoken to other players about how the SL's would go, and they've given general ideas themselves from before ... so I'd use that. I'm not getting anywhere in the creativity field and I think it's because I'm so stuck on all this..er rather tied from it. So... I want to give it some form of closure while going to try and leave room for play should it ever come up again. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Contact me soon.

So, no one spoke up, just thought I'd note that. Just wanted to make another note that while I have gone and done what I said I'd do and have since closed off all the strings from before, if anyone wants to re-open them all they have to do is ask and we'll talk about it. Although there are some so far past that it is not worth it to do so. Just sayin.

A little venting, a little redirection, some suggestions....

And so life continues on.... my stories will move forward with their characters. I have been more than fair and more than patient. I have tried to communicate with some people (and to be certain a particular individual) and have been met with silence and even out right ignore... for over two years and with no viable reason this person should be doing so.

So to this particular person... and you know who you are... It's rude to involve so many characters with yours and then just drop the bomb, in a round about way instead of directly to me (or anyone else), that one of your characters doesn't know mine(or anyone's) or that ANY of the rp took place not just with one other character but with a whole few years with anyone's characters.

I realize your character is your character and don't step on your creativity but really, what gives you the right to step all over everyone else's?

Somehow I don't think that's right in any way shape or form. I think it shows poor sportsmanship and gross lack of consideration for others to do something like that.

So I have written ways for all your characters to be out of my stories because it seems that's what you want. There are plenty of loopholes in what I wrote to have your characters have a reason or for you to make up a fair (to everyone's characters) reason for them to be gone from the picture, if that's what you want to do. If you have no clue what those are, ask me and I will help. In fact, I have already PM'ed you with those suggestions a long time ago but have gotten no reaction. I do this out of courtesy for the rp to everyone. Yet you have done nothing but ignore... only giving silence. If you weren't around RDI at all, I would understand, but I know you have had ample opportunity to contact me.

I will not ignore the rp that took place, or most of the ideas that had been talked about, simply because you changed your mind (pretty much after the fact) and don't want to tell me directly. It's really not that hard to do. Gaining my trust again will be.

I put all this here because it is a story line issue, it is for me. My direction for my characters with story lines has changed because of all this. I'm still doing Sha in hot water with RhyDin, but her involvement with certain other characters (of said nameless particular person) is no longer on the table as talked about before..... so if that's what you were agonizing over don't worry. You're free of it. Though I think it would've been easier to just talk to me about it.

So go little bird, it's okay to fly away... I hope you will be a little more considerate to others in future because they are just as important as you are. Compromising involves a two way communication ..... and because of the lack of yours, I accept that ours is over. I wish you luck and happiness.

Moving right along....
