Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXVIII:Read it or chris the celestial will set you on fire!
So, we were talking about Karrish scribe magic, specifically the Notebooks and the possibility of intercepting their communications.
I imagined all notebooks being linked, like Walkie-Talkies, but there could be "Phone" Versions, perhaps keyed to a certain name. In order to communicate, you write the name, then your message. If you have the name of a certain book, and are a skilled enough scribe mage, you can intercept and alter, trace, or jam these communications with the "Call Name' of either the sending or receiving book. The Wallkie-Talkie varients are more secure, you need a physical piece of one of the books, usually a page, to get to the connection, and even there you still have to go up against whatever measures the Scribe Mage that created the book built in.

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXVIII:Read it or chris the celestial will set you on fire!
The problem with the "Standing between the notebooks" trick is that it requires you to know, more or less, the exact positions of each notebook, because the magic will take the most direct route, passes through physical objects, and can't be seen. And by most direct route, I mean just that, as in, if the notebooks are far enough apart, it will probably pass through the ground at some point.
So yeah, usually it's easier to get a scrap of paper from one of the books.

Oi, CA, if you're reading this, I demand that you put a space after the colon in the title. (You should also capitalize Chris. )

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXVIII:Read it or chris the celestial will set you on fire!
Attention Abr'ers!
After much random banter, chatter and exchanging of links in the IRC. I, in my infinite wisdom had an idea which I passed around the Irc for opinions. And after much approval for my brilliant idea, I have decided to post it here in order to hear your ideas and comments.
Using a live video streaming site such as this one or similar we'd have a ABR movie night. One person (Me I guess?) would set up the channel and host the video/movies (which we have yet to select) and we would all watch said movies together.
Unlike Youtube or other normal streaming sites where one can pause, rewind or stop streams at our own individual conveniences. A live stream is one person playing the actual video, and everyone else watching it directly. Think of it like a webcam or a live online broadcast.
The details such as the time/date and our movie/show selection still needs to be worked out.
So post any suggestions, ideas and questions you have.

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXVIII:Read it or chris the celestial will set you on fire!
What kind of movies? Movies about ourselves, or just crap?
Do we have to participate? Who else will participate?
When will this be? This sounds like it might be fun.
But why wouldn't we be able to pause and rewind? That sounds like it would be for the best, in case we miss something.AVATAR BATTLE ROYALE!

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXVIII:Read it or chris the celestial will set you on fire!
Actual movie movies, V for Vendetta, Fahrenheit, back to the future, whatever we can get our hands on. Shows/series might work as well, as could animes. It really just depends on what the most people want to see.
Do we have to participate?
Who else will participate?
When will this be?
This sounds like it might be fun.
Don't know
Don't know, sometime on a weekend after we've sorted out all the details
probably will be
But why wouldn't we be able to pause and rewind? That sounds like it would be for the best, in case we miss something.
A few of us are currently watching family guy at the moment.Last edited by Tiffanie Lirle; 2009-10-05 at 04:47 PM.

Re: ABR Discussion Thread XXVIII:Read it or chris the celestial will set you on fire!
There is a number of reasons I wouldn't review that plot.
- It's an ABR plot, and therefore prone to critisism that I KNOW would be pointless
- I would need permission from EVERY WRITER IN THAT PLOT, not just you. You did not write TJH entirely.
- I ALSO WROTE IT! Therefore, my judgement would most likely be flawed. This is the same reason I am not going to review My Name Is Q or Super Smash B-List.
So you see, I haven't got a choice.AVATAR BATTLE ROYALE!
