Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

@Zetsuko the lurker has been spotted.

We'come.

There's a veritable crowd of strange personalities and characters to be found in Aftermath.

RPGC#4 -- Voting and Discussion

There could be trance there. Not really sure. The best lies in our opinion are virtually indistinguishable from truth. a few parts of each, mixed so thoroughly that they cannot be unwound sufficiently to tell what is what without extreme work.

RPGC#4 -- Voting and Discussion

we've not yet had time in excess enough to read and review the stories this time, but we hope to get it next week.

But we can't deny that we've looked at the criticism for ours. Something we find very nice to see, be it positive or critical.

... Heh. If I divide a larger, but still not quite large, story up into five parts... then this is either the second or the fourth part. Very well written, as I've come to expect of you. Very interesting and engaging, as I've come to expect of you. And... not the whole tale, as I've come to- eh. XD ... Regardless, everything here felt like it was pulled off exactly as was intended. But honestly, if I got to personally pick which part of the story I wanted to read, I would not have picked this part. Haha. In any case. Flawless quality and narrative skill. If the art of writing engaging stories can become greater than yours, then I can no longer tell the difference. I'm currently feeling an eager desire of reading the beginning and the end of what tale these characters are heading off on. Of course, I can't, I only have this part. Haha. ... Though, what lie are we talking about here? Almost all she said was the truth, wasn't it? The lie which the theme seems to focus on is the lie which she's setting up, that the Countess is still alive, correct? Wouldn't it then be more appropriate to the theme to write about when she fools the prey? Eh, maybe not. In any case. Well done, if I didn't say that. Well done.

@PlatinumSkink

The story could easily have more parts, but it doesn't. At least not yet. The lie isn't as blatant as it could be, but we think it might be layered throughout the whole story. Some of our stories, the better ones, tend to be creatures of their own, so we can't force things into them without breaking them. We think the lie is somewhat in the fact that the necromancer is describing what is happening, even as she's doing it to her victim, and then there's the bits about whether they have free will, or whether there's something else controlling them. We don't know.

Well, well... I loved the style. This was a beautiful piece, in my opinion. The lexis was good, the syntax was accurate and the plot was nice in my eyes. Its unfortunate then, that the lie is not the best on here and as such I cannot do this piece justice by awarding it with a vote. I feel, the same I feel with Reality Checkmate, that my understanding of this contest is going to cheat this and that piece out of me considering it for my vote. 9/10

@darkwolf687

Aye, it didn't ask to be written with "lie" as the core thread. Had we had more time available and fewer other stories demanding to be written, we might have added "chapters" that would have had more obvious lies, but alas, that was not the case this time. But that doesn't matter to us. Its writing stories people enjoy we consider important, not fitting it as good as possible to the theme.

Plagiarism

Being one of the two runner-ups, we don't really feel it is appropriate for us to give an opinion on what should happen to that particular contest's results (beyond that which has been done).

But we do have a suggestion... Both schools and universities have programs/tools that can be used for identifying plagiarism at their disposal. Maybe such could be acquired to test entries?

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

It is not yet accepted.

@Fallenreaper has an initial review in the works.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

The collab between Xid/Lea/Arix is now up.

@SpiritedDream: You can now tweak your post so it fits. Easiest might be to split off the latter half, tweaking it a little and adding it as a new post after the collab. Or at least we think that might be it.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

@FallenReaper & @Howler: One of you can post the collab if you deem it done.

RPGC#4 -- Lies

There. threw in our entry.

Its not as good as we'd hoped for, but it could be worse.

We'd meant to make it longer, but we got derailed into many other texts and our RPs. And books. And food.

Oh, and a black hole.

A Suggestion For The Rping Threads

interesting idea, @XxLyraxX.

Do you think you could give the topic a title that says a bit more about what the idea is?

Mahz's Dev Journal

Its on the plans, but those plans might indeed benefit from being moved up.
