[OOC] Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Hygswitch I am currently working on it and should get it to you by the end of this week (at the latest). Bear in mind we don't need to do it at any particular haste given it won't be needed to go up till next round.

@Klomster@AndrewCooper am I right to assume that there is still a little way to go before your Collab is finished?

[Hygswitch]

@TheDuncanMorgan maybe I should work on the exposition I did at the start of the posts and get more into detail...

[Klomster]

@TheDuncanMorgan Yes, while we're in the middle of the primary action part, leaving only the twist and the aftermath parts, i'd say there's a bit left.
I don't want to say Andrew is slow.... but Andrew is slow. :P

(Don't worry, i'm just messing with ya.)

[AndrewCooper]

we're getting there not much longer now hopefully.

[Klomster]

Just so you know, i believe that this collab will be worth the wait.
Both of us have added some really cool scenes and done some nice roleplaying.

Perhaps not towards each other, but then again one doesn't usually have a nice deep conversation in the middle of a battle....

This would be such a badass movie :D
(Yeah, i'm kinda hyping this battle, so sue me :P)

Some images I have created for:

Andrew Manshrew @AndrewCooper


Alicja Mazeltof (Pre-battle of Ralda)

Alicja Mazeltof (Current)

Can anyone tell be why the image link won't work for pictures on Deviantart? I managed to get the 'De Reimer sibling' image to work on my character sheet once I found it on google images but whenever I try and link a image that I uploaded on deviant art it does not want to work.

On a side note a long time ago I talked about doing a second soundtrack. I thought I would let everyone know what the major delay is:
The software I use to edit video's is on my (very) old laptop rather than my new computer. Due to it's age editing video's takes forever and often ends in the laptop crashing. I have tried to re-purchase the software for my PC but it is quite pricey. I will get to work on the new soundtrack once I have downloaded the software for my PC.

In the meantime I will work on a alignment chart, just as a bit of fun :)

@Hygswitch Expect a response from me tonight regarding the collab.

@TheDuncanMorgan

What link are you using for the images? If you right click on the image, and click, "Copy Image Address" it should work just fine, as that will give you the right url for the picture. I've had no troubles with DeviantArt showing up correctly this past week that I've used it.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@MacabreFox Thankyou. That helped me out a lot. Now if I wish to upload a image to the RP in future I don't need to do it through links.

[Sundered Echo]

Just to update people on progress - @PhoenixWhite and I are in the process of writing a collab. Its likely to be a lengthy one.

[Klomster]

@TheDuncanMorgan youtu.be/pNJmVu8MKb4?t=1m20s

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Klomster OK never mind then. I can get started on the soundtrack now :p .

Quick question were there any images in particular you wanted matched up with your theme tunes?

[Klomster]

I have no particular image in mind.
(I wish i'd chosen pikemen when looking for an image right now.)

After searching long and hard i found at least one image, i wanted a formation of them but noooo, ain't gonna happen.
So here's a single trooper, uniform colours might not be spot on but i don't care anymore.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@Klomster How is this? I know most of the are pikemen but I can see a few halberdiers in the background:

[Klomster]

@TheDuncanMorgan yeah, that one among others were some of the pikemen images i found.

I guess it's simplest to just use that one, sure it's not actually halberdiers, but when there doesn't seem to actually be any images of what one wants, it might as well be best to go for second best.

You decide what pic you use, i actually like the one i found, but if it's an unpractical aspect ratio you should go for the second.
Also tried to find a suitably actiony epic music score, haven't found one i felt "this is the one" yet.

[AndrewCooper]

Here are some for my side

@Klomster

Have you tried looking up: SCA Halberdiers?

[Klomster]

@MacabreFox Not really, and a quick google search on 'SCA halberdiers' gave roughly the same results.
So either your google fu is stronger than mine, or someone is missing something.

But i haven't gotten the feeling halberds were a big thing in the SCA, me being a member gives me at least some merit to my claim i'd say. :P
Although i live in Sweden, the SCA here might be very different from the SCA in Murica'.

Regardless, i added what i believe is my final entry to the collab between me and Andrew. Unless there is something i've missed it should be up in not too far into the future.

[AndrewCooper]

Ok guys me and Klomster's collab has been post hope you enjoy this awesome battle which will go down in Formaroth history.

[PhoenixWhite]

That fight was intense. Like, not even exaggerating- it really was //intense//.

@Klomster

Oh I see! I'm part of an SCA group on FB, though I haven't had the chance, nor the luck to attend any meetings or festivals. I've seen in the group posting of a group from China that has come to Pennsic in the past two years here. And the Ren Faire where I live, is also hosted by leaders of SCA in my community. It's nice to know another SCAdian, so to speak ^.^
