New Idea

[greekguy]

Think we should wait for me to finish writing the creation part, then il have to format the text alltogether so it looks like bible pags or something, not quite sure how i can do that any ideas anyone???

also should we wait until we have found out theocracy or just post it straight away?

well, we already have monotheism, so we do have a religion with 1 god at his point. i don't think we should wait for theology before going public with our Bible.

anyway, i'm anxiously awaiting your creation story, so we move this closer to publication.

 

[BCLG100]

Yup but like have you got any ideas in which i can present this as a bible?

 

[greekguy]

we could do it in manuscript style. we could make the font of the text really scriptureish and make the first letter of every paragraph 4 times bigger than the rest of the text. then we could put the text of each 'scripture' in a seperate box in the post...not sure how, exactly.

i was thinkin a bit like that letter we got from MIA or the Galls, that parchment thing looked pretty good maybe we could ask where they got that from.

i'll ask MIA about it in our next message we send to them.

ok im going on holiday for a week starting on friday so if you think we need to post it during my absence then by all means do so

 

[greekguy]

ok, i think it is time we post this in the main forum. if it is ok with you guys, i'll work on it today and try to post it in the public forum either today or tomorrow.

 

[BCLG100]

Back from holiday now, i havnt checked main forum yet did you post it?

uhh, actually i wasn't able to find the time. i had a lot of homework this past week. however, i think i found a way to get the parchment effect with the "Scripture". i'll post it here (in the private forum to see if you guys like it) when i finish retyping the "scriptures", a while from now, but definitely today.

 

[greekguy]

ok, i found a parchment paper we could use for the scripture using google (i also saw the parchment graphic MIA uses, so i guess we know they got their's now). what i did was copied BCLG's first story onto the paper and then put it in a scripturish font. this is just a sample, put i could do more today if you like it. here's what i got:



i figured the person who wrote the story should have the name at top, and the ranking system comes into play with this. based on how much you post in the forum, that is your title at the top of the scripture. since BCLG posts a lot, he's a "Great King". someone who posts maybe once a week, would be a peasant or worker. a few posts a week would be a priest or something like that.

 

[BCLG100]

Well if we go with the story of us being the kings given gifts by meleet then is possibility for more stories not neccessarily related to the game which would add a bit of difference to the papers floating about.

well, if we want to write about something that happened earlier in the game (like creation or something) we could post it in the forum as papers recently discovered in our palace. and if it something that happened recently, we can simply say this has been written recently and the government just got our hands on it. also, did you think the way it looked was good? was the parchment and font ok?

 

[donsig]

Yeah, I like parchment and the font. We don't have to put the whole thing up as one post. We can add more posts as we *find* more scrolls. I'm sure we'll find some scrolls in the Sacred Jungle near the silks.

 

[BCLG100]

Oh yer there all good

 

[greekguy]

all right guys, how about this: i'll put the rest of the scrolls we've written so far on parchment paper and then we could post it in the main forum. btw, who should post it? i really don't care, but i think BCLG should because it was his idea to make this in the first place.

 

[BCLG100]

well allthough it may have been my idea, you've done a lot of work on it greekguy so im completly happy with you posting it in the main forum if you want , just remember to credit me and donsig with the stuff we wrote

 

[greekguy]

ok, thanks BCLG. i'll start working on the other scriptures right now. i'll hopefully finish them all today and post them in the main forum before the day is done. i'll make sure to give credit to all people who wrote each scroll.

EDIT: ok, i'm done. i finished copying the scrolls we wrote onto the scroll graphics. i'm gonna go post them in the main forum now.

EDIT 2: imageshack isn't working for me right now, so i'll try again later. i'll make sure to post the thread later today.

EDIT 3: ok, i posted it now.

Looks great, but my firewall for some reason has decided the last 2 pages on imageshack is a hacking/proxy advoidence page, so I'm having to have to fiddle around with the settings.

Another idea for the bible might be of our rightous crusade against those desecrators of Meleet, and how, when they burned a great city of Carpetbomb they pilliaged and then burned down our temple to the venerated and wonderous Meleet.

don't know why it's getting blocked, but everything is ok for me. also, that could be a good story, if you want you could write it. the more people who write scrolls the better. you could say (just an idea) that Meelet spoke to you in a dream and told you that one day D'Nuts will pay for their razing of Carpetbomb and burning of the temple to Meelet.

I'll see what I can do. Do you have the blank parchment for writting on? I looked on Google for "parchment paper pictures", but I didn't come up with the picture.
