Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XIV, The Random Kill Strikes Back. Again...

[FireDrake]

Forgive me, I haven't had time to read all of this Xmas Carol stuff, but I think that Lying and Salmon should be swapped around.

Salmon is a floaty young looking thing, while Lying has that Young Father Xmas, somewhat Hagrid look (as seen in the muppets film). He also has the robe to hide children under.

Also, I don't mind being ignorance, I won't take it personally.

[kpenguin]

That would also make sense... appearance wise.

Personality-wise, however...

[Ninja Chocobo]

So so far we have:

I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring regarding this, despite having never read or seen this.
Howsabout Rixy and Nancy as the donations folk.
"It's for science, you understand."

Edit:

The charity dudes will be fine for me. However, Lpenguin would be a better pick than Tvor the other half of Kpen's charity-collecting duo.

Aww.

[kpenguin]

You can have your scientist guys play the charity folk. I don't mind.

I guess I'll just have to find a different role.

[Shades of Gray]

Kpenguin would work as... maybe Qooge(That's a mix between Q and scrooze)'s nephew? Then Szilard would be one of the three thieves.

Either that or Tiny Tim's father.

[memnarch]

You mean "Fred" or "Bob Cratchit"?

Also, good plan. (fff comic)

[Keris]

And once more:
A ? by the name indicates that they haven't agreed to it yet.

[kpenguin]

Fred would be fine too.

[Nameless]

And once more:
A ? by the name indicates that they haven't agreed to it yet.

Hmm... Well on one hand Ghost of present would be better played by me, because I'm neutral, but on the other hand Ghoast of Come would be better played by Nameless because... Death... is comeing?

[Emperor Ing]

You're too maniacal to be the ghost of christmas future.

[Lyinginbedmon]

So here's some test designs for Lying as the Ghost of Christmas Past (Which, now that I think about it, probably represents innocence lost).

I'm now more in favour of using the actual Lying version, rather than moving between A and B, because the Lying version seems more suiting.

I also chose to forego the extinguisher cap, because there was just no way I could get it to look right and, at it's heart, it's a pretty silly idea.

[Darklord Bright]

I missed something, what's all this about?

[Emperor Ing]

I missed something, what's all this about?

Who's playing what in A Christmas Carol

[Green-Shirt Q]

I missed something, what's all this about?

Anyway, I had an idea for something, and I want to know whether or not it's stupid or crazy.

My idea is a "Mini-plot" that onlys lasts till after Christmas. An ABR Christmas special! The plot of course, dosen't get complex like FFF because of it's short length.

My idea for a Christmas Mini-Plot is this: An ABR version of the Christmas Carol!

Basicsally, various ABR characters will replace characters from the Christmas Carol. Like, for example, maybe Q will replace Ebenezer Scrooge, and, I don't know, Lying, Salmon, and Nameless as the ghosts of christmas past, present and future. Something like that, perhaps.

What do you think?

This is basically it. We seem to be starting a Mini-plot based on the Christmas Carol with ABR characters.

[Keris]

Because it's the run-up to Christmas, Q suggested doing an ABR Christmas Carol plot (as in the novel by Charles Dickens). Surprisingly, other people thought it would be a good idea, everyone has been arguing over roles, and I've been nearing the edge of my sanity with all the blasted edits I've had to do to a table, and all the blasted code I keep needing to change.

You're currently down as one of the guys who loots Scrooge's corpse after he dies.

EDIT: Blasted ninja! *shakes fist*

[Darklord Bright]

So are we just going to do it like the comic with people posting one after the other?

Also, pinching stuff off a dead guy sounds just fine to me. :P

[Shades of Gray]

You were chosen because this conversation could occur:

BRC: Now that we have scrooge's money, we can support the community!
DLB: No way! I'M using the money for my lair!
Szilard: Actually guys, I have a few debts to pay off...

EDIT: It seems we'll be needing more organization for this however. We need to assign comics, then make sure we release them by Christmas, alternatlively we'll PM them to me. I believe everyone will make one comic, unless they don't want to. Do you think we'll need a new thread for this?

And the glares would be met by "...What? I'm part of the community, aren't I? We could use it for bingo nights"

Totally in.

Someone needs to start us off, and that guy tells us who makes the next comic, and if need be, ask us what he needs to do.

[Shades of Gray]

I personally think we should list all the comics we need like this:

Rudolph meets a giant sentient banana
He discovers a secret plot by Dr. Doomsday
He fights a GIANT ENEMY CRAB
He discovers the true meaning of christmas!

Then we'd choose the comics we'd want to do:

Rudolph meets a giant sentient banana : The Joker
He discovers a secret plot by Dr. Doomsday: Dr. Horrible
He fights a GIANT ENEMY CRAB: The PTA Board
He discovers the true meaning of christmas!: Speed Racer

The comics would be PMed to the person running this fiasco. He'd post them in chronological order.

[Fawkes]

All the good roles are taken...

[memnarch]

We want to find a script of the play and use that?

[Szilard]

I'll confirm my role as one of the thieves.

[kpenguin]

You can find a copy of the original novel online. Its over a century old, so its public domain, I think.

I've also found a script for a play version here.

All the good roles are taken...

Really, Nobody would have made a lovely Scrooge.

Also, I'm starting, or at least hoping to start, a play-by-post game over by Lying's remember forums since Squark's proposed game died. The reason I'm starting it over there rather than here in GitP is that I want to see how my ABR colleagues handle themselves in a game. I know you all have good talent as storytellers, so please join!

[Fawkes]

Hell, I could have covered all of the main characters with my own guys.

Nobody as Scrooge
Keshou as Marley
Mechafox as Cratchit
Philippe as Tiny Tim
Nada, Rikki, and someone else you haven't met as the Three Ghosts

It would've been pretty cool. Maybe next year.

You could try making one all by yourself.

[Fawkes]

I don't want to steal any thunder. Like I said, maybe next year.

Unless a bunch of people want me to do it...

[kpenguin]

Maybe you could do a different Christmas story.

[Shades of Gray]

Mechafox The Red-Nosed Robo-dog!
Mechafox The Snowman!
The Mechafox That Stole Christmas!

[The Gremlin]

Calamity should be one of the thieves.
Nameless should start out being the GoCYtC, with this exchange:
Scrooge felt that it was tall and stately when it came beside him, and that its mysterious presence filled him with a solemn dread. He knew no more, for the spirit neither spoke nor moved.
"I am in the presence of the Ghost of Boccobsmas Yet to Come?" said Scrooge.
The spirit answered not, but pointed downward with its hand.
"You are about to show me shadows of the things that have not happened, but will happen in the time before us," Scrooge pursued. "Is that so, spirit?"
The spirit inclined its head, and muttered, "Mmm...pancakes. They taste like well seasoned DVD cases..."
Suddenly, a pink light filled the graveyard, and Scrooge saw an awesome figure before him:

Spoiler

"Pay no heed to Nameless. He's just here for the audience."
"What?"
"Oh, my name's Randomizer. A.k.a., 'the Ghost of Boccobsmas Yet to Come. I'll be your ghost this evening."
