We should raid the RuneScape Forums!

[The Empty Lord]

First topic message reminder :

I was thinking that we should raid the RuneScape Forums... with SUGGESTIONS! And use the prefix [TSS] to identify who we are.

We've been busy bees lately, and my Threads Profile is getting empty so I'm assuming that most of our old ideas have bean eaten... when better to revive them?

We could even transpose a few of our smaller, more handleable projects over and get some fresh eyes!

Whatcha think?

Gnomeball was in dire need of an upgrade or two, so that's good to hear.

Yeah, I've been busy lately too. It's good to know Mythics is still
being worked on, though. That and Homecoming Apocolypse were brimming
with epicness. And speaking of epic quests, is the Pirate King series still around?

[MorbiusMonster]

I've been working on other projects. Arzonus was laid to rest for a while, but I have been working on ideas such as Crash, R&C, Pokemon, Spectrobes etc.

[Handeath]

Add "The Svet Trilogy" to Unlikely.

[Jeeves]

Pirate King is in bits and pieces on the forums here, nonexistent on the real forums, but they're pretty much in-tact on my computer. Which may or may not have been put back in the attic before I could transfer the files again. So we'll see what we can do. But other than that, I hope there is plenty more epicness to follow as far as quests go!

[MorbiusMonster]

I am very likely to resubmit Arzonus in due time.

People need Arzonus.

[Zectiox]

People love Arzonus

[Blaze FF8]

Good to hear it, Jeeves. If it's stored, it's intact for whenever it means to shine again. As far as quests go, I think our group came up with some of the best.

Weren't you intending to make a book out of Arzonus, Morbius? I thought that was the Dark Hero, or is that a different story?

[MorbiusMonster]

I have been writing a book. The Dark Hero is set a few years before the events of Arzonus currently.

Here's how it works;

Nightfall (set the between five thousand and two thousand years before)

Dark Hero (set two years before)

Present Day

Legends in Genesis (set two years later)

Enemies of Mankind (set three years later)

The Diminishing Realms (set two hundred and five years later)

[Handeath]

So, when do you think will the raid be posted?

[Dark Avorian]

Never. What is this forum if not high level thinkin-cap-time followed by an epic failure in actual organization.

[Jeeves]

True 'nough. If Mythics ever got finished, though, I would post it without waiting for you guys. Just saying.

[Handeath]

Grr.

I was planning on quitting Runescape after The Raid (going out with a bang). I still am, but I was planning on quitting by early fall. Besides, we can get by with two more completed projects (preferablely Interactive Combat and HA).

Just wondering, where is everbody?

[Jeeves]

I'm still here...but I somehow got a job this summer, so I'm not on too too much.

[The Empty Lord]

My computer is packed, so I'm living off my laptop. With only a single monitor, I forget to check websites that I would usually have open in the monitor beside my gaming screen.

If I'm set to a non-quest writing task, I should be able to achieve it.

But I fear I'm growing too out of touch.

[Handeath]

You can work on Demonolgy? It's most charts, it's a skill..

[Dragon78114]

Hey guys, sorry for that sudden withdrawl. School was getting cumbersome, nad then I had to go to my state's governor's school for a month and we couldn't bring computers, so now I am back!

The other day I was looking at my Azzai series and I was editing the hell out of it, improving the plots of some of the quests. I am now worsening the situation regarding the Priests and their tyrannical grip and threat to the clan. I don't really know how to do it, so if you can help, it would be much appreciated.

I completely lost hope for Gielinor's Fiyre since the last time I posted it, literally no one new had posted their support for it, so I let it die. People read the Demonic Doll, but gave up with the Fiyre. I guess it should stay here. :\

[Slayer Noir]

The thing that struck me about the Fiyre was that it was LONG. Really long.
Perhaps the apparent lack of interest is just that people can't read all of it and feel unqualified to comment if they haven't. A shorter version summerising the key points of discussion for the suggestion may help revive that (and if you already have it, make it more obvious because I didn't find it skimming through).
If you can give people enough information to discuss the story without having to read the entire thing, interest may pick up. Anyway, don't give in

Besides, when we officially raid, we should all be bumping eachother's content. That should increase interest (Y)

[Dragon78114]

hmmm...... clever..... I can post a summary of the whole quest.... sounds interesting... but it might reach the length of 2 posts, though...

I do have that tendency to write a LOT... haha....

[Slayer Noir]

If its too long, let someone else look at it and edit it down. If you struggle to write within a limit, then someone who can will help. Plus they can tell you if the summary makes sense on its own.

It occurred to me recently that I haven't really contributed to other peoples ideas much recently, so to be fair (since I enjoy it when other people contribute to mine), I'd happily help you with this


By the way, have we got an official date set for the raid yet?

[Dragon78114]

thank you! However, I have made some made some crazy cuts so it should be more user-friendly to my Azzai series.

For Gielinor's Fiyre, should I post a very detailed summary of it on the ROSF and direct people to our offsite to finish? I could entise people with the Demonic Doll, as it does tend to popular...until I release Gielinor's Fiyre...

[Slayer Noir]

You know, as a marketing strategy for the raid, that's actually a pretty good way of getting people interesting in the Suggestion Guild and onto the site. Whether its practical for your suggestion needs to be decided by you though.

I think we need to have a discussion about the actual objectives of the raid and what, other than suggestions, we'll do to achieve them. Are we just trying to raise the profile of TSG or trying to expand and gain new members?

[Dragon78114]

Well, we have discussed what we want to accomplish with the raid: to get our suggestions in the watchful eyes of Jagex and/or the various players who are on the forums to renew interest in our group and possibly have our content put in the game (or at least influence it).

But before Jagex can consider, we have to get support the community. So yeah, either we bring them here or keep them there is critical step. I also think we need to kinder to those whose suggestions aren't great if we want people to join our ranks. I know that sounds a little silly, but there are some people here that rip ideas to shreds...not naming anyone in particular... *cough* *cough*

I also think this raid should be happening at a moderate rate; not overwhelming, but we have to have quite a varied collection of suggestions to present, including the writers.

[Slayer Noir]

I agree. We should target suggesters of all levels - its just as important to develop the less able suggesters as it is to work with the best, and it would be great to get some new members

Do you think we should actively seek out people and invite them as part of our raid?

[Dragon78114]

Like how? Go to various off-site forums and get them to organize an event to raid the forums at once?

[Slayer Noir]

No. Just start inviting people to the suggestion site as we increase our profile. They don't need to be active raiders

[Handeath]

But what about the suggestions we have here? SHould we post them all at once?
