The AGS chain story, detective theme, finished now for your reading pleasure!

Venus · Wed 27/02/2008 21:40:34

It hasn't reached me yet, so I guess it's either still with Eggie or voh already has it.
I can't wait to see this thing...

@voh: Can you please send the story to another email address, since I can't check the one I posted here earlier very frequently at the moment? I'll pm you the new one in a minute.

voh · Wed 27/02/2008 22:01:37

I like, totally didn't receive it yet. Eggie must still be working on it (or he fell asleep again).

Tuomas · Wed 27/02/2008 22:04:09

I think we can cut him some slack, after all, it's his birthday today

Eggie · Thu 28/02/2008 13:58:14

No... No I sent it the day I got it, although I wasn't sure about the address... I used .net instead of .not because I assumed it was a typo.

But I didn't get a mailer daemon reply so...
Well, I sent it to someone...

voh · Thu 28/02/2008 14:09:52

Where'd you send it to? Because you were supposed to send it to me

edit: f'ing spamfilter picked it out of the list. I've got it, shall send it on ASAP.

edit: It's been sent on to Venus, with the email she sent me.

Would it be a good idea to, once you receive and/or send it, you post here to let the rest know there's still progress?

To limit confusion, so to speak.

P.S.: OMG what a mess

Venus · Thu 28/02/2008 16:43:50

I have received the story and will start working immediately. Thanks voh. I'll edit this post as soon as I've sent it on. I like voh's idea of reporting back once you've received and/or sent a story.

Off to do my bit now...

EDIT 1: Oh my, just read it for the first time. These are gonna be the hardest 200 words of my life.

EDIT 2: Done and sent on to pixelperfect. I wouldn't wanna be in lo-res' shoes...

voh · Thu 28/02/2008 21:27:46

Heheh, there were definitely some words I wrote which I never thought I'd write in that context

Eager to see how it turns out

(also, do not envy lo_res)

Emerald · Thu 28/02/2008 21:32:48

This sucks. I wanna seeee...

voh · Fri 29/02/2008 00:52:08

Only 5 more, we're very close to the ending

PixelPerfect · Fri 29/02/2008 01:15:16

Okay I got it. I'll start to read/write with my organic hard disk.

EDIT: Damn that was hard. Well it's sent to Antonio now. Our "hero" is truly a complex character, I can tell you that. I honestly don't know if I did good, because it's such a mess, even if you try to make sense of it (I did manage to cook up one possible solution which I followed but tried to leave options still open). At this point it's pretty hard to have a neat ending, but let's see what happens. Maybe lo_res will wing it out of the park.

[Cameron] · Fri 29/02/2008 04:33:15

Considering how many people are left, after PixelPerfect people should start some resolutions. That way it isnt left up to lo_res to put it all together slapdash in 200 words.

Antonio · Fri 29/02/2008 15:13:23

Exactly what I was thinking Cam, I'm just about to start reading through now...

Antonio · Fri 29/02/2008 19:06:58

Done my bit.

Does anybody know Paolo's email address? It's not in his original post...

voh · Fri 29/02/2008 19:43:54

Best to PM him, then he'll see when he logs in

Emerald · Fri 29/02/2008 20:42:18

Try Ben304. He worked on Paolo's game. If anyone knows his email, it'd be him.

Antonio · Fri 29/02/2008 20:44:15

Passed onto Paolo. That last word was perfect pixel...

voh · Sat 01/03/2008 01:16:25

However this turns out, I just want to congratulate Andail on creating a challenge that has gotten the most attention for a writing contest as of yet, and has garnered a lot of participation as well.

Kudos!

paolo · Sat 01/03/2008 09:07:41

OK, I've added my bit and posted it on to TheJBurger (and also PM'd him).

The switch between narrators makes things a bit hard to follow, but I've just switched to the third person because this makes it clear who is saying what. My section is from [edited to remove potential spoiler] the perspective of one of the secondary characters, in any case.

Good luck, guys, just three more sections to go! I can't wait to see how this turns out. Hear, hear, voh - thanks for setting this up, Andail.

Jack Sheehan · Sat 01/03/2008 12:52:58

oooh its me next. I hope it isn't absolute shite!

TheJBurger · Sat 01/03/2008 21:10:51

Okay I just sent it to Jack. Two writers--400 words left. I found it really hard to steer this in an end direction since so many plot elements were left either unresolved, or just ignored since the beginning (particularly from one scene which I won't mention!

). Anyway, I hope it's not a complete mess by the end.
