ABR Discussion Thread MCMLXXXVIII: The Plot Pandemic

[Mad Mask]

Welcome to the 27th ABR Discussion Thread!
I've changed the title format. Cue the apocalypse.
Because we used to burn through new ABR threads so quickly, we created the Discussion thread. All banter goes here, and all comics and non-canon kills go in the main thread. (see line below)
Random kills are somewhat less common nowadays.
Avatar Battle Royale: Avatarmageddon (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7000298) is the current thread. Post artwork there.
Yay, it's fixed now !
The ABR backup thread (http://z15.invisionfree.com/Remember/index.php?showtopic=161), is used in the event of Giantitp becoming untenable due to server issues or otherwise.
Someone should make a TJH trailer...

The Avbaroy Wiki (http://abr.wetpaint.com/)
In my opinion, Wikia is better. And we shouldn't use two wikis for one community.
The world map of Avbaroy (http://abr.wetpaint.com/page/Avbaroy)
That map was made by me and my awesome cartography skills.
The Novaris Wiki (http://encyclopedia-novaris.wikispaces.com/)

Oh hey, the new thread is up. I am severely disappointed by the lack of a witty title, though. :smallfrown: :smalltongue:

Also, it would seem that my thread was the first ABR discussion thread to ever get locked. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. :smalltongue:

[MethosH]

Art for my idea of Novaris character:

http://h.imagehost.org/0493/Character_for_novaris.png

He is spiritbound, but unique in one thing: he has been bonded with multible kaa, three to be exact. This of course interests goldcloaks, from who he is always hiding from, as ending up in their hands would propably mean trouble for him. The binds took his morality, memories all the way until the start of his bound and chunk of his life-force, leaving him rather unhinged invidual. The kaa bound to him are not too friendly towards each other either, which often causes wacky hijinks. He is often seen as insane, and his lack of morality means his actions are most often guided by his self-interests and the voices of bickering kaa in his head. Though the bounds can allow him to wield great potency in spirit magic at times, most of the time his magic is extremely random, and mostly does not function at all, as he has to negotiate with the kaa before he can do squat.

The spirits bound to him have variable goals. One is destructive spirit who revels in violence and wanton destruction, and often urges him to go on destructive rampage. One is kind and helpful, wishing him to help people. The third one is kind of a middleman, advicing him to go on course that is most benefical to his own goals at any given time. Thanks to these three, his decicions can be rather strange at times. If he acts in way that displeases them, the spirits can and most propably will stop helping him by allowing him to use spirit magic, resulting at times to complete powerlessness. He almost never manages to convince all of the spirits to work in uninson but on extremely rare ocassions he manages to do so his spirit magic is usually beyond compare, even if for limited time.

@V: Maybe it is a standard practice? :smalltongue:


When I started to read this the first thing on my mind was "oh... not another guy wanting to be the super man of the plot"... But this is actually a very nice idea :smallbiggrin:
I really support you here.

And about that veteran idea... Fayte Graydon had a great idea, making a serious plot with people that care about it... She just went wrong on the veteran thing. The evaluation method was pretty bad, thats all :smalltongue:
I support the idea if you change the "veteran only thing" to something like "people serious about it only thing", since I'm kind more of a serious plots kind of guy :smallbiggrin:

One day, we will make it to page 100. One day... :smalltongue:

Yup...we did additional 35 pages in a week:smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

Everyone start talking about random stuff at page 50!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Why would we wait until page 50 to do that? :smalltongue:

[MethosH]

That sounds a lot like Future Imperfect. :smalltongue:

Really? That is nice :smallbiggrin:
I'm just too lazy to filter all the ABR silliness and try to catch on. Sounds like its going to be good if nobody throw megaman on it to fight godzilla while batman is racing a car with paul mccartney and ruin everything.

I was really sad to see that TSS end up dead... I was really enjoying the idea but wasn't so sure of myself to go on with the plot for myself, since TSS wasn't really documented and it was kind of hard to find out things among the posts :smalltongue:

I really support CoN because of the well written wiki :smallbiggrin:

By the way... I got the feeling that some 'veterans' are feeling intimidated by the new face of ABR :smallamused: Don't be silly ok? We are all one big Playground family, we should all be getting along :smallbiggrin:

Finally, a new thread! I was waiting here two hours!

Heh, see, it's funny because normally you have to wait longer. :smalltongue:

Now I can announce my recent random kill edit to my last post!

Or Chris the celestial will set you on fire.

Wow! Hey! That is something that fits everywhere!

"Be good.. or Chris the celestial will set you on fire."
"Make me sandwich.. or Chris the celestial will set you on fire."
"Move the freaking plot! Or Chris the celestial will set you on fire."

I blame the cake. Which is a lie.

Hm...I just realized that I've been here nearly seven months now. At the time I first joined, FFF was still going to be ending "soon".

You mean the more realistic one? I think it looks better. it started with MM, and as you can see, he is a pioneer of new styles for old creatures and characters. Some dislike it, some don't. Keveak liked it, and now uses it himself.

You call that the more realistic one? :smallbiggrin:

I think he mean the odd shape the kobold's body has in V'ic's random kill has.

[V'icternus]

That's what I assumed.

I'd probably do it differently if told to make it from scratch, but I just traced due to my patended LazyNess (TM)

About that... If one person that is soul bounded goes to bed with somebody that isn't.. Well.. you now, don't you? :smalltongue:

No, actually. The Spirit isn't involved. It'd just be awkward for the spirit.

Now, if you do it with another Spiritbound, the poor Spirits are either awkward together, or they get together themeselves. And, now thast I've stuck that into your imagination, remember... your spirit is bound to you. They have to follow you everywhere. Yes, everywhere.

[V'icternus]

I imagine it's especially awkward at first, especially if you get stuck with a Spriit that isn't your gender...

"Wow, so that's a human-"

"Shut up."

"Sorry, I'm just curious, I've never been able to get this close to-"

"Shut up!"

[MethosH]

"So... Now that we are bounded I need to talk to you about something.."
"What?"
"Well.. Human females have this thing called period..."

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Let us hope this knowledge of the spirits is never put to the test. Let us also hope that this awkward discussion will never resurface in this thread again.

Ever.

Move along people, nothing to see here.

[V'icternus]

See? There's no end to the possible awkwardness.

...It's a good thing Spirits can't physically manifest, now that I think about it.

Nah, I'll save that for something really bad.

EDIT:

*After a female Spirit has been grumpy*

"So, it must be your time of the month, then?"

"What!? I'm a Kaa, we don't... we don't have that!"

"...Oh.

I never intended her to live. I never realy intended her to be in CON.

[Lyinginbedmon]

See? There's no end to the possible awkwardness.

I think after that conversation it'd be a good thing. The spellcaster would then be able to strangle them.

[V'icternus]

And now she's dead! *Cries*

...Speaking of characters, I don't see yours on the Wiki...

Do you know how to put it there?

That's true. And vice-versa, with other conversations...

But then you'd find weirdos with "relationships" with their spirits. Ewwww!

Tell you what, you PM me all the info, and I'll put it there for you.

HOLY BAT ON A STICK!
Your comic was disturbing! ._.
Now I'm depressed... She... She saved xmas!
Damn! TEAM is really becoming popular! I think we are facing a witch hunt here.

[CrimsonAngel]

I don't know which faction to be in. Just Thirion faction, I guess.

Oh, and CA, you don't need a faction.

[CrimsonAngel]

Wait.. Noone noticed the racial bonus from being a wolf joke? Either that or you all want to talk about the darker side. I CALL NEXT THREAD!

[MethosH]

I don't know which faction to be in. Just Thirion faction, I guess.

You can create a wiki page telling that some Thirions, tired of the prejudice against them for not being a well defined kind, decided to just live outside of civilization and factions, forming alliance of their own and marking their own territory. Those 3 could be a group of wandering Thirions.

[V'icternus]

I noticed, but then I saw a head behind a bush, and it kind of darkened the mood...

[MethosH]

Yeah... Is just I didn't found that funny... Maybe cuz of that freaking head behind a bush.... So I was just checking to see if I really got the joke :smalltongue:

He smalls good to... Er, he can track well using his nose.

[MethosH]

By the way... CA, have I ever told you how you are the master of OotS-Style hair? :smallbiggrin:

[V'icternus]

It's true, you're like 50x better at hair than me... *Grumble*

And you're on the wiki. Yay.

Sure! Make a character, and post it here. We'll review it. Isn't it fun to be judged? :smalltongue:

"Rate me Playground!"
"0/100"
"Holy c... Bah... I don't wanna play anymore :smallfrown:"

[SinisterPenguin]

I should make a CoN comic...

But I'm feeling lazy. Meh.

[MethosH]

Can someone resize Luke?

Done : )
Check it out

[CrimsonAngel]

Done : )
Check it out

Sweet, is there a way to make it not pixely though?

[V'icternus]

Doesn't seem pixely to me. What about the rest of you?

[CrimsonAngel]

It may be my wide computer.

[V'icternus]

Yeah, it might be.

[CrimsonAngel]

Why do not I have permission to edit the page, who made the wiki?

[V'icternus]

DLB made it...

Maybe you haven't been aprroved yet and have to wait for next time she logs on?

I dunno.

[MethosH]

DLB made it.
You need her approval =\
He is pixely because I didn't resized the image, the wiki is resizing it.
Want me to really resize the image? lol

[CrimsonAngel]

yeah sure, why not. :smalltongue:

[MethosH]

yeah sure, why not. :smalltongue:
Cuz I'm lazy? XD

Ok, go check it out now

[V'icternus]

Then why am I seeing a perfect image?

Especially on this machine, which I've had since before this Millenium started...

But I saw it fine the entire time... it looked exactly like it does now.

...Why? What's wrong with my computer that it makes everything look so good?

Who had the kobold character again? Only since DLB seems to be on a hiatus, I'm gonna need some other help.

[T-O-E]

Oh no, it's introductery.

Oh the spelling errors.

Hypocrisy much? :smalltongue:

...There's only one Kobold character. Yours.

[MethosH]

I don't really remember... The guy never got the character on the wiki, but it is on the last thread :smalltongue:
But you can feel free to use any of my characters to help you. I think any of them has a great excuse to help you.
Melkor is against magic opression and Isilbert is with TBCU at the moment.

Traker is a kobold. Probably not for long but still.

[V'icternus]

I just checked the Wiki. :smalltongue:

But yeah, I forgot about that...

[MethosH]

I really love how CoN is flowing :smallbiggrin:
It really motivates me to keep making comics!
I'll update the index now, sounds like I'm the one in charge of the archive :smalltongue:

[V'icternus]

I can see the slogan now...

MethosHazara: because everyone else is too lazy.

*sets Q on fire* You got us kicked out in your own little comic world!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Any feedback would be great. :smallsmile:
Huge comic is huge, also you shouldn't be so lazy with the backgrounds. You should probably use thicker lines as well.

Oh and use inkscape. :smallamused:

[Green-Shirt Q]

Well, because it's supposed to be on the internet, I couldn't really think of anything else but the GitP colours.

I think I will use thicker lines. I was using the second thinnest line, and it seemed pretty thick when I was making it.

Thanks.

[Darklord Bright]

So apparently I missed all the drama while I was asleep. And apparently sleeping for 8 hours is a hiatus. :smallconfused:

[V'icternus]

Or we could skip the get a room moment and keep the plot going... :smalltongue:

EDIT: Yeah, DLB, sleeping? Honestly, if you keep pulling stunts like that, you'll be declared dead!

[Darklord Bright]

Already had one of those moments recently... :smalltongue:

Besides, this rang funnier to me.

I am sorry.

Just don't let it happen again!

Sleeping, honestly... :smallsigh:

[CrimsonAngel]

Now hurry up and aprove me on wiki.

[Darklord Bright]

Also, did nobody else notice that in Crim's comic, there's a bush wearing a helmet? Filthy spy.

And yeah, I don't think even Synn knows why she wants to grab the thing so much. It has to do with the suggestion it has, it kinda subconsciously semi-mindcontrols everyone near it.

Also, Crim, are you sure you're a member of the wiki? I don't see you on the list of members...

[CrimsonAngel]

It says i'm logged in, and I varified me email.

[V'icternus]

I assumed the wearer of the helmet met a nasty end, or was turned into a bush or something.

[CrimsonAngel]

Try the first.

"Shut up!"
"Yeah?! What can you possibly do?!"

I can think or more... threatening, threats. But in a battle, you do what you can. :smalltongue:

I just saw the last comic!
Wow, she really jumped!
Now Synn is about to run into the forest, but I don't think she is going to catch up with the creature... Maybe she end up stumbling upon Luke and the TEAM

Also, DLB, you should take a look at the speech ballon tutorial at the InkScape Help Thread

[Khaeta]

Hmm, the trailer I had the idea for is actually coming along. Dunno if It'll be done this weekend though.
Flash CS4 is fun.

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm done with panel 1.

[Moskstraumen]

Would anyone mind if I changed my character a little, since he hasn't joined yet?

[Calamity]

To be honest, I don't think I've ever been as lost in ABR as I am at this very point in time. And that's really saying something. :smallconfused:

What are you confused about, exactly?

[Calamity]

Just about everything really. But especially CoN. I said before that I'd join if I had the slightest idea what it was about, but alas, I was asleep (I know, shocking, isn't it? I'll try not to do it too often. :smalltongue:) while most of it was created.

It has a wiki for the main stuff, what specifically do you not get? Because there isn't a storyline beyond "All groups want the creature, go wild" at the moment.

You should check the wiki.. Really... Almost all is in there.
Just some things that people refuse to listen to me and get of their asses to write about it. But you can always ask.

I had a "to do" list for the wiki on the other thread.. I think is time to bring it back :smalltongue:

I just updated the Algean Prospects wiki page with their law enforcement departament

I'll write the Archmage page after I'm done with this comic.

Possibly.

[CrimsonAngel]

Now panel 2 is finished.

[Moskstraumen]

What race don't we have many of in CoN, character-wise?

[Darklord Bright]

What race don't we have many of in CoN, character-wise?

Just have a quick look through the character section. We have no Ogres or Abura-bo yet.

[MethosH]

Here is my "to do" list again.. I think I'll actually put the Wiki To Do list on the wiki :smalltongue:


Wiki To Do List and peole I think should do it:

- The Creature (DLB)

- The Alchemist (DLB)

- The Alchemist Guild (Does that even exist? I thought that the alchemist that created the creature was one of a kind!) (skimmer)

- The Archmage (SinisterPenguin)

- The Goldcloak (Some say that the Magic section already talk about them... I think we need a main page for them.) (DLB)

- The Four Winds page. (They already got a flag and they already got a bigger background, like Algean and Black Claw. BRC should make a page for them) (BRC)

[MethosH]

There we go: http://encyclopedia-novaris.wikispaces.com/To+Do

:smallbiggrin:

[Darklord Bright]

Just a question... how is this not information on the Goldcloaks?

Once a considerable amount of prestige is gained, a Spiritbound may be asked to join a faction known as the Goldcloaks. The Goldcloaks are wizards in golden cowls who operate an academy in the southern keep of Soulspires, and are willing to train upstart Spiritbound in the finer points of Spirit magic. The Goldcloaks believe that knowledge lost is a travesty, and often travel Novaris on journeys of self-discovery known as "Spirit-Finding".

[MethosH]

Just a question... how is this not information on the Goldcloaks?

As I said... There is information.. Just not much information :smalltongue:
Since our knowledge on them will sure expand I think they deserve their own page, but that is just a "to do" when we get more on them :smallbiggrin:

[CrimsonAngel]

New comic. :smallbiggrin: Big cushy landing, and I got a free ride to you guys.

Keep the background color, they are still in the village, not in the forest like you :smallbiggrin:

[SinisterPenguin]

Hey, SP, did you make your comic before I posted mine? I'll go change the ground color.

Oh, I wasn't aware your guys were that close to the auction house.

[CrimsonAngel]

Now we must embark on a long perilous journy, and elephant might die on the way... or you know, he's promoted to full charecter. :smallamused:

[Darklord Bright]

Also might mention... why is Tiles so small in your comic, Sin? He's a Troll, and Kalp is a Kalp. Kalps are small, Trolls are Large - as in, bigger than humans large.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Now we must embark on a long perilous journey, and elephant might die on the way
Personally, I think the elephant character is cooler then the wolf-thing character. :smalltongue:

[SinisterPenguin]

And for those that didn't get it... The creature is freaking far away by now

Yes, but Kalp's only motivation here is to get the Creature. He has no reason to stay, when he could be getting a head start on retrieving the Creature.

[The Gremlin]

Going to make a comic this evening/tonight. In case nobody can tell, the kobolds are actually very tired right now. And about to be more tired...

[CrimsonAngel]

What kind of tropes have we had for Novaris? Animal people.

[V'icternus]

We kinda have "Our Vampires are different", but with Kobolds. :smalltongue:

[Darklord Bright]

Just thought it might be neat to have and expand on it when we're bored. :smalltongue:

Edit: and the kobolds are a case of "Our Goblins Are Different (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.OurGoblinsAreDifferent)", actually. Because Kobolds traditionally fill the same slot as goblins, and there are examples of Kobolds on that page.

[V'icternus]

When you're bored, make a comic. Even a random kill!

In fact, I might make a new comic right now...

[T-O-E]

None near me. Actualy we prety much killed all the team that kidnapped us.

Question: How many KRU are there?
Answer: Enough.

I was asking DLB. If he hasn't responded by tomorrow morning, I'll assume eight.
Everyone, try to refrain from making too many comics involving the kobolds, KRU, the blade Joe is levitating, or that move Tiles (this is very minor, as i can just edit him out).
EDIT: Alright, then, I'll get to work. Can I have an exact number?

[CrimsonAngel]

I think I have a reason for thirions to want to get the creature! It can make the're animals stronger and not take so much energy! So someone tell them it's effects comic wise. The thirions can finaly take back stolen land and avenge all the thirions killed in the dojo. :smallbiggrin:

I decided to make sure that everyone knew that magic was dangerous to use by having someone experienced with it fall victim to it. It just can't be "mastered".

Right-o, I fixed Tiles' size. Sorry it took so long, I had to eat dinner and practice my violin and some other stuff.

Indeed, indeed. Nice how everything's shaping up...

Indeed.
Also, comic is almost finished, I'm gonna get dinner and then I'll finish it. PLEEEEASE try to wait and don't make comics involving my characters. *Sad eyes*
