"a manticore asks a wizard whether it, only being 10% human, has a soul like they do. The answer is that the mere act of wondering whether one has a soul is proof of having one."

Heya Mari. It's 12 pm for me right now at the time of writing this post, and I've added you on skype. I can be on skype until 6 pm, but I'll keep checking forum posts and PMs until 12 am.
I think making a game about history is a pretty great idea. We could do a light-hearted rendition of some event that happened in history. Are there any specific time periods that you are interested in?
As to having an English and German speaking protagonist, I think that might get a little confusing for players. I'm kind of attracted more to the idea of having a game that doesn't have any dialogue at all.

Shizuma,
I'm ready to go, skype accounts are wallcat@outlook.com and live:wallcat, name is Sleepish. On Gtalk wallcat.sleepish@gmail.com.
I'll be around all week except for maybe a morning errand later this week.

Day One, Char & Misac
Have yet to hear from Misac. Spoon tells me he may step in as my partner. I'm not sure how well this bodes for things. Would Spoon be okay working on whatever I want? Would we be able to collaborate a situation where he'll grant me free range? When it's all said and done, would he sign off on the game or leave me hanging? Too many questions.
While writing a Day One log on the forums, I came up with a list of game ideas to share. I really want to make a game people want to play, and not say one of those tacky and crude joke games, or worse yet a godless acid trip.

SDHawk & Master K, Day Two
It seems I have assumed TMC's position from the last contest, in that my partner was in contest mode from the get go and I am... somewhat less so. Master K's productivity has taken off like a rocket, and he has gotten quite a bit of the art done. We nailed down a good bit of the details as well, though some of the game remains to be planned.
There was a moment today where Master K took the initiative of adding a certain detail. It was at that moment that I knew our goals for the game had aligned for certain. This project will go well.
Meanwhile, I sit in the quiet shame of having mostly finished the primary script of the game, but one last piece of functionality remains as well as a good deal of debugging. It took me awhile to get in contest mode. Master K wisely suggested going with a simpler system, but I decided to do it the hard way. By doing it this way we'll be able to achieve a certain effect, and we'll also be able to make the game a little more convenient for the player. One must wonder if I'm teaching bad habits by example. Hm.

Misac, you can contact me here on the public forums in front of everyone because we do not hide in irc or skype or behind PM's. In fact, we're spotting the other teams an extra 10 points to make this fair.
The first thing we need to take care of is for us to officially sign off on our game. I hereby do so. Now it's your turn. This is the only real rule, beyond releasing something. I'm pretty sure most of us are going to flake out anyway, but if they ask we'll give them encouragement and feign excitement.
Also, I have secured a new prize: Spoon's hat. This is only a first step, as I don't know what else he has available, so we'll need to figure out what other goods he has. Oh, and let me know what kind of game you'd like to do. Even though I'll probably just do whatever. This way, I can teach you about teamwork.

Right! I'm in! Firstly, i don't have anything in mind, but i want to know what is your best and worst points on game making, so I can concentrate on what tasks we'll beign able to do. I'm not a good plotscripter, but I have a bit o practice on walking scripts and fades. Given a Theme i can work with it and build a good story and scenario, but i don't always have the ability to build the scenario in the game. Graphics is my worst ablility, but i'm training and trinng to build something here and there. but Map building is something i like to do, unlike the worst case scenarios of Reign of Grelok.

Team Gizchiro, Dawn of the 2nd Day
Communications were finally established at 10:43 PM EST. Despite the delay, we quickly came to terms with an idea that satifisfied both of our ambitions. We synchronized versions, he took some time to set up an intro, and now the ball is in my court to flesh out the art and maybe set the early tone.
I'm intrigued by the manueverings of the other teams. Misac and Charbile are apparently still the only two to have gotten together and even that seems inevitable now. Enough talk! Time for work!

Nice to meet you, Misac!
My best points on game making is "x" where "x = ( moogle1 + 1 ) * sin(gizmog)". But honestly, I would have to say my best point is my people skills. As you'll soon find out, *wink* My worst points are probably the same as most everyone else here, you know, working on an ohr rpg for years but never really finishing it. Maybe one day! And you're in luck!! I do have something in mind. The ideas I mentioned before were merely a ruse to throw people off and get their hopes up. Your skills in scenario building should come in handy.
Our working game title is "The Greatest Adventure".
My code name will be "Great and Powerful Trixie". Yours will be "My Faithful Apprentice Twilight Sparkle". Do you like My Little Pony? Cause if you do, you can ignore everything I'm about to write and we'll just make a pony game about enhanced relations. Like, we'll find some random fanfic and just make it into a game real quick.
The type of game will be an adventure game, like King's Quest or Monkey Island. Where you can look at things, grab them, use them, combine them--all to solve puzzles. For example, you find a dog guarding a gold coin you need, so you have to find a piece of steak to throw at it so you can grab the coin.
In your absence, I was able to talk to Spoonweaver's girlfriend by proxy. She had the great idea to use a fluffy caterpillar character and a stegosaurus. The dino will be our main character, and the setup will be his girlfriend the caterpillar is in a cocoon. Before she comes out as a beautiful flutteryshyfly, she told him to take care of some chores. And so our adventure begins... (need puzzle and scenario ideas!)

Day 2, Trixie & her faithful student Twilight
I missed Twilight in irc, but at least Twi has shown up in the forums. I was afraid this would be a one pony show!
Today I drew a grass tile. All I need now is a tree. Can't make a game without grass and trees, right?
(I'd post a screenshot, but I don't want to spoil what the grass will look like, sorry guys!)
