Kinda new to this....

I've been on the board since last Friday and I was wondering something about this fiction.

Are these stories just RPGs or is everything possible? Are you using the original character, making up your own or....?

I need some kind of a guide to this forum.

It's generally just stories. Someone comes, they write a story. And it generally has something to do with JJ2, or an admin moves it to misc where odd things happen.

If you ever have any questions that aren't worth making topics for, just PM or email me. I mean, nobody does anyway.

We also play games here like the PreWin forum which is much like D&D

@ Infinite Spaz: Eeeh? PreWin? D&D? Now I am totally confused. Looks like I should have been paying more attention to this when I started playing 6 years ago. I probably sound like someone from 10 centuries ago.

@Radium: Thanks So, if I basically want to write a story inspired by a certain level, it wouldn't be weird?

Probably, but I think wierd fits in fine at this place.

Basically anything that involves telling a story is allowed here. It can be a recounting of your latest battle (though not "I TOTALLY KILLED HIM AND HE DIED AND THEN THE LEVEL CHANGED"), a work of fiction (though it should involve the Jazz universe, Earth stories are often moved to Misc), an interactive game where what you say determines how the story flows, a round robin story...

Thanks for the information.

I guess that a round-robin story must be the third thing you're refering to in your signature?

Welcome to the forum, Hardtana.

I believe Infinite Spaz is talking about this thread. It's kind of like an on going pointless RPG where stuff happens.

I suggest you take a look at some other stories written, such as Coppertop's newest story, one of 4I Falcon's two stories; Enter: Jack Flash, and possibly, My current story, The 4th Wall, or, Animals, the second story I wrote. I won't even show you the link to the first story I wrote, it's so terrible.

If you want to write a story, you're perfectly welcome to do so. In fact, I'm sure we here at the War Tavern would love to see you write.

...Right, guys?

Read my story too. It's completly un-JJ2 related but none of the admins moved it because everybody ignores me to an unnatural extent.
Don't click this. Please.

Correction. MOST of us ignore Radium to an unnatural extent. The rest of us just wish we could.

BTW, welcome to the WT. Hope to see you writing. The links Acid gave you should probably help to explain what we write. Here are a few more: Conquerer, Conquests, The Conquistar (Read these in order or they won't make sense), and Slate. There's more but I'm too lazy to get them

Coppertop's stories pwn my face off.

Acid's stories, on a different literary plane, also pwn everything in sight.

My stories, not to be self-righteous or anything, just pwn.

Radium = foo.

Welcome to the board, have a nice day. Commence the stupid.

On the contrary, I'm a certified genius. I'm just not very likeable.

No, you're still a foo.

A smart foo, but a foo nonetheless.

Since nobody seems to have done so, I'll give you the link to 4I's OTHER awesome story, System of Turbulence. Don't believe what 4I says, his stories pwn more than mine

And Radium is a foo.

Thanks for all the links.
For now, I am reading only System Of Turbulence (perfect!), but I did bookmark the other stories.
This also gives me a clear view of what should be written and what shouldn't. Guess I meet the requirements

Copper, I'm honoured that you consider my stories to be so good, but I assure you that your own stories pwn on an entirely different level.

Hardtana: Yay, now I have another reader I get to scramble about madly to keep entertained. *grins*

Sorry, I was gone and couldn't get on for a few days. Good to see that the regulars were being nice to you. *glares*
I'm the moderator/bartender, but I'm really unhelpful (as you've just noticed) and I never do anything because I don't notice it and the only thing I do is yell and move topics to misc when they're not furry.
But despite all that, I'm supposed to be in charge.

So welcome to the Tavern. Have a drink and relax.

Thanks for the welcome too
Yes, they have been really nice, helpful and generally great. I guess you're one of those "rare females" on the board mentioned in one of the threads in the other forum.

And...well...if you're the mod, you cannot be unhelpful. I guess the admins know why they gave you the job...at least that's what I do when I am choosing moderators on my forums.
