The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Ask me about the Darwin's Soldiers 'Verse

It doesn't sound as if you liked the Dragore character either. What were your reasons?
Unfortunately, the player Dragore also irked me. After I got sidetracked due to real life concerns, my PM box was filled with messages imploring me to get back to the RP. That did not make me think highly of him. Not to mention he really pissed me off in the reboot because, as I said, he hijacked the plot but I did not want to be mean and ream him in public or in a private message.

As for the character, I just found his speech and behavior really irritating. I think his angst crossed straight into wangst. Not to mention, he gains almost ludicrous levels of power (telekinesis, superhuman agility, powerful healing factor AND Wolverine-esque arm blades)

As I believe you like military like stuff, so I do wonder, in Darwin's Soldiers, what do you think of my portrayal of the military in general in it?

I do like military related stuff.

As for the the portrayal in Darwin's Soldiers, pretty good. I have seen better but this is fairly solid and realistic given the science fiction setting.

How am I doing on the Darwin's Soldiers Wiki? Is there anything you think I should add/focus on? Also, do you think you'll be making many edits to help out?

I don't know if this has been asked already but, are Littlefoot, Cera, Ali, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Blue-Scale, Raptix or Deimos going to be any of the deaths in Twilight Valley? Cause after Rime :cry  (who I was hoping would live), I hope no more main characters get killed.


Also, how many chapters are you planning on putting in the story, sixty like Out of the Shadows or more?

I also have a feeling every character from the series is going to be in this too.

I have no idea how long it will be but I will not tell anything more about character deaths.

I was wondering if you thought anymore about the plot device I sent you via PM. Story-wise, it would give a reason why we've kept Kerzach in Dragonstorm this entire time, since he hasn't really done anything this whole RP.

I will use it. Dr. Zenarchis does not have it with him at this point.

Who would consider the main characters of Fool's Gold? I ask mainly for this page of the wiki.

Nick: Dragonstorm will be finally destroyed by the end of the third RP. As much as I like Darwin's Soldiers, it is not something that can continue infinitely so the 3rd RP is likely the end.

LB&T: Paul Gamay and Dr. Kerzach are the main characters of Fool's Gold

Also, I may do a Sharon-centric story set after the first RP. It will be less "actiony" than Fool's Gold and it will probably involve her completely crippling a Dragonstorm computer backup base.

Ooh, that would be awesome! Kind of like how Nietzsche's Soldiers 2 was written partially to explain where Siberys was during the 2nd RP.

I would totally read a Sharon-centric story, you should write it :yes

Any news on a possible story? Do you think you'll have time to write one?

Were there any significant aspects of Twilight Valley that you planned on writing and keeping, but after implimenting it, you decided on a different idea before posting? A behind the scenes question, this is. I'm just wondering if any major plot points were originally something entirely different but went through another draft or other drafts before the final idea came about.

I had planned for a duel between Deimos and Phobos (his brother) to take place in a volcano some time near the end with both of them significantly enhanced from the Stone of Cold Fire.

That was scrapped because I felt it was too cliched.

----------------------------

LB&T:

My writing drive has severely diminished. So I don't know about when this story will arrive.

Do you plan to ever finish Twilight Valley or have your interests shifted away from it?

I really, really want to finish it but I need to wake up my writing powers so I am writing a short piece to do so.

Are there any parodies in Twilight Valley, like scenes tweaked from other works to fit your story but also remind people of other ones?
