GBALD - SLOTS AVAILABLE IF INTERESTED - Ixcaliber - 07-14-2011
Okay this concept is probably extremely dumb and I am sorry in advance. How about a Grand Battle (a mini-grand) that is conducted in the same way as a Something A Little Different?
Okay so here's how this would work. We'd need thirteen people total. First person writes four profiles and introduction and sends them on to the second person. The second person writes the start of the round from all four perspectives and sends only that onto the third person. And so on, proceeding all the way until we have a conclusion to the battle.
Intros: 1
Round One: 2, 3, 4, 5
Round Two: 6, 7, 8, 9
Round Three 10, 11, 12, 13.
Writers 5, 9, 13 get in addition to the previous post a one line summary of who the Grandmaster is/their personality. Whatever. They end the round, selecting which of the characters dies and write a brief summary of the next one (except 13 who writes the character winning and a short epilogue).
Each post must contain some content for each of the characters still alive at that point simply in order to give the next writer something to work with. Everyone would try to stay in continuity as much as possible with what knowledge they have in their post, but if they don't manage it then that is part of the fun of things.
Anyone want in on this quite frankly ludicrous idea?

Haaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha hahaaaaaaa
Oh wait you are serious?
THEN I WANT SPOT 9
That should be long enough for me to be settled in the DR and able to sneak in an insane roundend.
Re: GBALD - A Disaster Waiting To Happen - whoosh! - 07-14-2011
This is a terrible idea and I am in.

I'll slap myself in the intros spot, unless anybody else wants it. If anyone wants a particular spot then ask for it otherwise I'll just shuffle you around.
Re: GBALD - A Disaster Waiting To Happen - MalkyTop - 07-14-2011
Um um um oh my god. I think I'll just go ahead and continue my tradition on being the last one on the list.
Re: GBALD - A Disaster Waiting To Happen - AgentBlue - 07-14-2011
I have no idea how this is supposed to work but I'll figure it out! Stick me somewhere intermediate!
Re: GBALD - A Disaster Waiting To Happen - Schazer - 07-14-2011
Oh shit yes spot 5 please and thank you.
Re: GBALD - A Disaster Waiting To Happen - Robust Laser - 07-15-2011
Oh man. I'll take spot 1 from you if that's okay, because if there's anything I like to do, it's make profiles.

Now that I think about it, if I'm to be involved (and i do want to be) it has to be spot 1 because of obvious reasons. Plus I've already written up one and a half profiles. How about we go splits and make two profiles each? This seems reasonable and also in the spirit of the thing. If not then I'll step out and use these profiles somewhere else.
Re: GBALD - A Disaster Waiting To Happen - Pinary - 07-15-2011
Oh, what the heck. Drop me in... let's say spot 10, please?
Re: GBALD - A Disaster Waiting To Happen - Robust Laser - 07-15-2011
Yes, that sounds fair.

Four more people. Also I have my two profiles ready. PM me when you have yours cyber. I think when I have them I will start this thing rolling, even though we aren't full up yet. I don't think this will be the fastest thing ever so I don't see that being a problem.
Re: GBALD - A Disaster Waiting To Happen - Pick Yer Poison - 07-15-2011
I'll take spot seven.
Re: GBALD - 3 Spots Left - Round One - Ixcaliber - 07-15-2011
And we're off.
This is going to be fun.

Re: GBALD - 1 Spots Left - Round One - Niall - 07-17-2011
I'll slip into spot 11, if you have no objection Ix. I'll be like the last book in your home library that fits right into place with every shelf now completely full. When that happens, the correct adjective to use is Kentucky, as in "the puzzle piece fit nice and kentucky".
Re: GBALD - FULL UP - Round One - Ixcaliber - 07-17-2011
Okay we have a full roster, the only thing to do at the moment is to pester Fogel to get the first update done.
Re: GBALD - FULL UP - Round One - Dragon Fogel - 07-17-2011
I'll get it done! I'm just kind of stumped on how to kick it off.
Re: GBALD - FULL UP - Round One - Ixcaliber - 07-17-2011
I remember you were saying to Godbot when he was trying to kick off Sir Cedric in VD that the first post is easy (I'm paraphrasing). It's setting up precisely where someone is, what they think about the battle as a whole. Do that then maybe add in some ways to interact with the environment and there you go.
Incidentally I came to the realization that this is more tough than a normal GB due to the fact that you have nobody to talk about it with and have come to the conclusion that whoever is writing can always PM me to bounce ideas off me or something. Admittedly for people later in the process I won't really be able to tell them very much in case I give away any unknown information, but I'm guessing it's better than nothing if you are having a tough time.
Re: GBALD - FULL UP - Round One - Dragon Fogel - 07-18-2011
There, it's sent. This is finally moving!
Re: GBALD - FULL UP - Round One - AgentBlue - 07-18-2011
To me, this will always be seen as "Grand BALD Eagle Time".
