Well, you could sure stop using "Italic" and use spacing more.
Don't want to give Old Man Turtleey headaches, hm, sonny-boy?
But I like the plot. :3

You should do this in smp and get a ton of people to get the pigman skin even though you would have to recreate your own nether and hack in a ghast spawner or something idk...
I've thought of this, but the problem is the chance of "text-griefers" so to speak, where, in the middle of filming, there would be a random "HI YOUTUBE" or "B0OBZ", and even though we can ban people, it can become very time consuming and annoying.
I think that's what "f1" is for.
And hiring actors - via whitelist and/or secret IP - can filter that.
Hey vgx, awesome story! Keep the updates coming please :biggrin.gif:
Anyways, me and my friend were thinking about making Memoriam: The Movie tomorrow, and I just wanted to clear up any ownership issues before we start building a 1:1 scale replica of SAUL. So anyways, may we have permission to use your story/characters/derp in our movie if we give you credit for the story elements? It would be greatly appreciated, and we'll send you the link as soon as we're done with it.
Thanks in advance,
GalaxyAwesome and BlitzkriegDD
If you need more actors count me in! It'll be an epic movie x3!
For filming, hosting a public server at all would be stupid. Of course.
I was thinking, a PUBLIC server, for use of all people. You know, make a SAUL layout, and when a new user got added to the whitelist, make them a personal SAUL and set that as their home, then let them join! Have everyone be able to start massive armies!
...and put spawners EVERYWHERE.
EVERY.
WHERE.
Oh, and Italics dude.
If more than 5 people want me to diitalicisizewhatever the story, I'll do it.

It look's like my last post didn't show up for some reason, but I'm just letting you know that I'm always reading and keeping up even when I don't have enough time to post :tongue.gif:. Also, if you need more people, I'd like to volunteer. And another idea, I think it'd be easier and far more epic to have one HUGE SAUL for everybody to defend and stay in, it'd be like in the story, but bigger and better to fit more people in.

SAUL is one of those one-time-only deals. It wouldn't really be SAUL otherwise, it'd would be a giant awesome base. Instead of a giant AWESOME awesome base.
But I'll think about it.
...it would be hell to avoid griefers, even with a whitelist...
And I appreciate your continued support.
Oh, and for the movie. Don't talk to me about that, talk to Galax and Blitz, it's their gig. But I think they wont need volunteers until further notice...
Unless we want a mob (literal mob, not MOB mob) of actual Steves in Pigmen skins. Which would actually be pretty cool. And I could totally host that...

Alright, since the movie is attracting much more attention than I expected, I guess I will get a whitelist going, to keep me busy until VGX gets blueprints out for SAUL. Send me a PM if you are interested in being a pigman. Bonus points for reminding/bringing to my attention another character needed that can't be random AI.
Remember, nothing is concrete, so things will be on a first come, first serve basis, and if Galaxy or I decides we don't need actors, then we won't use them.
Now, exactly what is causing the monsters to act intelligently all of a sudden? I understand the pigmen having intelligence, as they kinda exhibit the "If you don't bother me, I won't bother you" mentality ingame, but all the other monsters are generally known to be dumb as ****.
To think that they're all suddenly acting as an intelligent hivemind just because the narrator pissed them off is a bit of a stretch IMO.

What are you talking about? From what I gather from that incoherent rant, you're an expert on zombie pigmen intelligence?
So you're basically saying that the pigmen should be stupid? This is a story meant to be interesting. Do you want it to be more along the lines of "I enter the world and see pigs walking around randomly" or would you rather it be "As I stepped through the portal, these mutilated pigs observed me with interest as I walked around this new realm, and welcomed me after I killed a ghast terrorizing their town." ?
Suddenly you're an expert on another person's story?
You're addressing me as though I had posted a problem with the pigmen. I said that I understand why the pigmen are intelligent. What I don't understand is why the monsters are suddenly acting under this aggressive hivemind, forming marching creeper squads that blow up on cue.
I'm sorry if the way I posted it made it seem otherwise. I should've differentiated between monsters and pigmen more. I rephrased my post so that it's easier to understand.
That's not really a good excuse for a plot mechanic, and it doesn't answer my question. I'll just wait for vgxmaster to explain it one way or another. Perhaps there can be a good chance at backstory for the monster IQ skyrocketing.
Sorry if this is anoyying, but it should be courier-pig. (But curried pork sounds delicious )
Waiting for the next update...
Ooh, nice catch. Thanks.
Blitz, 3MM4NU37. Guys. You're both friends and long-time supporters of this story, so please, don't fight amongst yourselves.
And trust me on this. That actually IS a plot point, and SHALL BE EXPLAINED. A disadvantage to starting a movie before the book is done, sadly...but no matter.
And neither of you are experts on this story. No offense, but...yeah. It's not DONE yet.
Just to clear things up a bit now:
Something HAPPENED, and that is, CHANGED, that caused an IQ skyrocket. This isn't just spontaneous. Hell, this IS based on actual events, remember, although loosely...and how many times have you seen Ghasts come through a portal, or a perfect 64 grid of Creepers run at you? It's unusual behavior! So, yeah, it's planned, and you'll see, and good question.
And no, I will never, unless unavoidable, change something out of realism (or, the rules of this world) merely for the sake of an interesting narrative. While tempting, I like a story that pulls you in. It should be believable by the rules that have been defined.
Blitz, I'd recommend a screening process, or some sort of audition, in order to be able to act. Especially considering the fact that we might need more people not run by AIs some time soon...hinty hint hint.

I apologize, I didn't mean to start anything, haha.
But yes, I think I will have auditions for pigmen, I'm guessing about 18 people will be needed. I'm going to try to start ASAP, due to school exams coming up. The downside, however, is that Galaxy and I both can't get a server running, so if you could run a server, VGX, that would be great.

Of course I can run a server, I run like 7 as it is.
The issue is as follows:
I host directly from my laptop (since my laptop is the most badass piece of technology EVER), so thus have a dynamic IP. Therefor, I always follow the strict rule of, "My server is up when I am up." As in, you can't log into my server unless I'm actively online.
So we'd have to sync time zones.
But, yeah, assuming we'll do that, I'll surely host.
...except I also have things in personal life coming up that might impede working.
Here, I'll try to get the blueprints up this weekend. Start filming stuff then, and I'll contact you two about hosting.

The only problem left is the player cap.
