I am writing a book : )
14:05:53 Feb 18th 07 - Mr. Surgeon General:

Elsin sounds like a mexican.  And yes Azaruc, you are a yugoslavian


17:15:20 Feb 18th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

I think it's just the "S" in it. I added you into the prologue in Roleplay Section.


17:36:23 Feb 18th 07 - Lord Spoon:

I guess you should've called yourself Henk, Aza. That sounds Dutch..


21:18:39 Feb 18th 07 - Duke Azaruc:

nah... It's a fantasy name, won't call myself Henk :o

and Surgeon: NOOOOO!!!


23:03:37 Feb 18th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

If anyone here is good at drawing or sketching and has a scanner I would greatly appreciate it if someone could assit me in drawing world maps for the novel. If I chose yours I would try and pay you via mail. The more detail the beter and the beter the more I will pay in the end.

Arzun~


23:41:53 Feb 18th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

i can draw maps but i would need a basic idea and i could role with it not sure howd id get it on or how id get paid my parents wont want me to give away adress =P


00:17:56 Feb 19th 07 - Lord Weirdgrivi:

You could ask him to build you several 90k mines instead of real money :)


00:26:47 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Hackerben:

Continuing off of what I said earlier, I've chosen my name for next era, it's going to be Vertencio.


00:44:39 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

lol Weridgrivi :P

And Killer King I am going to post an outline soon, and I am sure I could send it to the local post office or a friend or something lol


00:53:06 Feb 19th 07 - Lord Weirdgrivi:

Hell, I'd still go for the mines :)


01:00:38 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

ok post the outline and say what you want done to it and i can see what i can do and il ltalk to my parents about the payment


01:19:07 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

Ok well I was thinking one large continent, a very rich land everywhere but the middle-east, where there will be large deserts with some mountains further east, closer to the ocean. The center of the map is a very large plane. There are three waring factions. The Empire, the curent ruling faction which ocupies all of the west and into the rest of the map. The Sacarins live in the middle east deserts and wherabouts of the rebels are unkown. (I am going to give them all unique names soon)

There is a large bay in the south with many rivers potruding from it. In the central west area there is a large mountain range with many rivers, the tallest mountains are snow capped and feed the farms at the bottom of the mountains.

The far north is a snowy land and it is tundra a little less north. A large frozen river passes through the land in the north and turns into a lake, the lake then divides into many small creeks wich end.

There are large patches of trees everywhere in the center of the map, forming an incomplete circle around the large center plain. The south lands are mainly grass lands and river, there are many port cities and farming lands down there.

 

I hope this shows a vauge image of the land. I will edit it and have some people look at it and change it around and what not : ) but I suck at drawing so... lol


01:28:58 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Vertencio:

I might take a whack at it.



01:32:04 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

This is a valley in the book and that river is actually very big. This is just to show the size of the map and its natural structure.


01:40:15 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Vertencio:

you mean that's a valley somewhere in the world and you are going to use something similar as a valley in the book?

because there is no way someone drew that for you.

haha, good luck with everything.



01:43:47 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

lol ya it's a valley in real life and I want it in my book :P


01:47:57 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Vertencio:

Sounds good what are the dimensions you want for the map?

you can give that to me in inches, centimeters, pixels, whatever you feel like, it'll give us a better feel for how big you want it and how much detail you expect.


Adieu,
Ben


01:52:21 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

630*393 Pixels

7.75*4.84 Inches

19.69*12.28 Centimetres

 

I would like as much detail as possible, it is not a race. Please take your time. Also, I would like it to be rather large. If I were to take a plane across the width of it it should take a full day give or take some hours.


01:57:45 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Vertencio:

Okay, sounds good!


02:28:42 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

how many miles would you like it to be so i can get a scale on it


02:50:12 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

2400 at it's longest point and 1800 at it's tallest point.


03:19:38 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

if i make it 2,790 miles at its longest point then it will be scale is that ok?
(Edited by Mr. Killer King 2/19/2007 3:20:59 AM)


03:32:20 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

and do you want the scale in miles or km?


03:48:30 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

alright the different terrian is making it look horrible jsut ignore that casue when it gets edited it wil lbe made better =P


14:05:08 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

Yes 2790 is fine and in miles please. And it's ok I have a friend who is good at adobe and he can blend it later.


16:23:53 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

alright.

i have also decided that money jsut complicates things and i enjoy doing this type of thing so i will do it for free.

hope the book comes out good =D


17:02:21 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

Oh thank you very much :D I will try and pay you back in game lol


17:07:38 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Morgan:

Morgan is the grandmaster of the biggest religon in the world. And you better belive it.

Plus he has the best name.


17:11:57 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Archibald Trotter:

Morgan sounds, looks and smells like a girl.

Swifty is superior. And he has an exceedingly large penor.


17:14:42 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

You might be disapointed lol, I put Swifty in but he is a hyper child. A secondary character that may have a big influence on the story line.


17:45:10 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

np man

couple 90k mines will do make sure they get the bonus jsut like weird suggested and i want em next era =P j/k


18:10:51 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

:P well if I am doing good next era and we arn't at war then maybe I can do something like that lol


18:26:15 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Great Axe:

18:33:43 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

18:52:46 Feb 19th 07 - Duke Efrandor:

19:08:32 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

19:09:09 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

(Edited by Mr. Killer King 2/19/2007 7:09:52 PM)


19:17:10 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

Thank you very much. And the more the better so if you have free time and are good with either drawing or have a map maker handy then... I'm waiting : )


19:21:08 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

19:27:46 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

Ok well the center planes will be named Challyms Grass. The large mountain strip in the west will be called The Arios Mountains. The ocean to the South is the Sea of Ebor and the one to the North is the Ailith Ocean. The ocean to the west is the Sea of Manin or the Sea of Rememberance and the one to the east is The Saviac Ocean.


19:43:06 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Killer King:

alright ill work on it later i ahve to wait for atleast tongith for my dad to get home so you should be able to get it here tommorow morning =D


20:40:07 Feb 19th 07 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

Yes Arzun, you can use my name.

I would suggest you put a credits section, for I translated my name and don't want people thinking I copied it from your book when your book naturally becomes famous, as I am quite sure it will.

GO ARZUN!

For my character, if there is magic, I would like to be a powerful mage, Also, here is a list of equipment for my soldiers; Pikemen, good armour, a short sword, a 12 foot pike, a large shield that looks slightly like the Prolouge elves from LOTR The Fellowship of the Ring, but with a sharp edge at the bottom (for planting in the ground and hiding behind or for hand to hand use). Their armour will also be similar. The archers will have a 6 foot long-bow, with a spike at the top and bottom, a double curve, with a blade on each curve. (Split so it can be bent) The heavy infantry will have heavier armour with spikes on shin and forearm guards, often used to block or strike, a Trendarat (a 4 foot long sword with an increase in size near the end) or a sword-staff, that is used like both a spear and a quarterstaff. Light cavalry will have a short sword and shield, and a slightly shortened version of the longbow, only without the spikes/blades. Heavy cavalry will have a lance, heavy armour (for horses as well) a sword and a shield. All blades will be one-edged and silver-tipped (Silver is able to be sharpened far more than any other metal and still retain tough-ness). I will have heavy-infantrys equipment only magically enhanced (with Trendarat, not sword-staff), and if there is no magic, a long-bow.

If this isn't easy to in-corporate, only give me the equipement.

Thanks for letting me bore you out of your skull....

Oh! And one last thing, a common open-plains battle tactic I use is to place a pike wall, with archers in front. The archers will fire their very long ranged long-bows, then retreat behind the wall when the enemy gets close, when the enemy hits the pike wall, the heavy infantry will sally forth from behind, and the heavy cavalry will charge the flanks, with the archers and light cavalary peppering the center of the horde with arrows!

Bon chance mes amis!


20:44:05 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Great Axe:

can i be the jester can you name him mark then just add in the end the funny guy was moddled on mark burel (spelt wrong on purpose)


20:44:41 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

This is all very good, I was planning on making you the King of the Elves : )

And I love long posts, they don't bore me lol


20:45:36 Feb 19th 07 - Lord Erunion Telcontar:

Oh, on my characters character, I despise fools/foolish plans, I have a good sense of humour, am slightly arrogant, fiercely loyal, clever, and am a very good fighter.


20:47:08 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Arzun:

All of which I already implemented in the character summary I wrote up lol, that is exactly how you will be. You are also a master of tactics.


20:48:16 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Great Axe:

oh goody! as long as ime funny there is only one more request can the people who posted here get free copys? (when youre a millionair that is)


20:51:36 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Sharp Pick:

20:53:38 Feb 19th 07 - Mr. Sharp Pick:

20:59:40 Feb 19th 07 - Lord Spoon:

Arzun, could you tell somewhat more things about the set up of the continent?
Which races live there, which tribes, that kind of stuff?
I enjoy reading this all :)
