Woo! It's Precipe-Art Day again!

[Shyri]

I'm seven pages into my post, and not even halfway through yet. I drafted it for the last month, and now I'm finally fleshing it out.

I think this is the hardest I've ever worked on a PoW post.

[Vilageidiotx]

That's the way of it for all of us anymore.

Like, at this rate, by this time next year we will all be working on full 50k word novel manuscripts and submitting them to each other instead of posting regularly.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Requesting proof reading and peer reviews before we publish them in-thread.

By that point PoW will have transcended a single thread really, and we'll submit each post as its own thread to be atop the alter of public awe.

[Vilageidiotx]

Slowly we turn the RP guild into an organization dedicated to editing PoW

[Dinh AaronMk]

And then helping us order everything to novelize it at no cost to us.

And then enslave them to edit.

Spreaking of which, we never finished our collab...

I must of forgot it, because of school. Is there still going to be a collab between us or not?

Probably.

[Rare]

Well, give me a few minutes to eat and I will see where we have left off.

[Vilageidiotx]

Imma join a forum contest again to try and earn us some more glories/me some more ego. That'll slow me down even more.

I'll keep working on the Djibouti post with Googer, and i'll give what I can to the Addis post. Eagles won't be getting any posts from me in a while though, I am afraid.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Tactical post dropped.

And here I thought we'd pass the month mark.

I was thinking about the Somali pilot and, when you consider how relatively backward East Africa was at the time, I think he was probably more significant than the Chinese pilot realized. Ethiopia probably had, at least in the great war, so few local pilots that should have been able to count them on one hand. I've used the concept of Iyasu bulldozing the traditional government and modernizing as a consequence to lampshade the fact that I created the basic outline of Ethiopia when I knew next to nothing about African history, but the Ethiopia and Somalia that went into the Great War would have very much been the feudal-tribal world of Menelik and the Mad Mullah.

So this old man, a guy who would have grew up when the sword-wielding, castle-holding Dervishes were in power in his homeland, managed to become one of the first people in Africa to fly a plane into combat, and gained enough prestige to live comfortably and see family members enter the tiny Imperial bureaucracy.

But the Chinese pilot who meets him and hears his story doesn't fully appreciate what he it witnessing, since he grew up in a world so far apart from Somalia and Africa that all he sees is an old soldier living a humble looking life in a poor country.

Helluva thing.

His head was a filthy mat of wild blonde hair that hung about the rims of giant bottle-cop glasses.

Checks out.

@Vilageidiotx

If it's any funner on the way back to sanity I was going to write an interim-snippit where it's sorta explained to him how big a thing it was. Not only he met a rare thing but also because he got him to talk about something he didn't talk about ever. But then not go into great detail so I don't step on toes too hard, unless you and I want to go back and forth over some basic details for that snippit.

@Vilageidiotx

Guess I gotta fix that. Lol.

I wouldn't mind. If I am not on, PM me.

OK.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Perhaps a gallon of thick, pasty gore had been splattered across every conceivable surface in the cockpit.

[Vilageidiotx]

I didn't even have to check and see what you were quoting. You know it is a googer post when there are pretty descriptions of gore.

[Dinh AaronMk]

And based on the signs in the goat's organs we may be having three new posts in two days. Depending on how fast Vilage takes to finish writing with no GoT to distract him and do what I don't do: edit.

[null123]

Still being a lazy ass bastard.
