Tragedy. Snorb's game is dead. Writer's block killed it.
Here's my story, sad but true: Topic was announced 5 pm Friday. Guess where I was 5 pm Friday? If you said "Kmart," give yourself a point. So, I wind up spotting everyone five hours. I get back, get the topics, try to figure out what the hell I'm doing.
Ten seconds later, it hits me: "Dude! Snorb! Make a sequel to your entry in the Winter '02 24HoZZT! Base it on the remake you're still working on!" Three boards later, I realized I'm writing my characters out of character. You read that right. I WAS WRITING MY OWN FUCKING CHARACTERS OUT OF CHARACTER.
So, I give it some sleep. And I decide, "Dammit, then, make a game where z2 is like PSIV's Hunter Guild and you're all hunters!" So I do. And that's where teh dread Writer's Block (tm) kicks in. Oh, well. At least I wrote MadTom saying "Hey, Snorb. You remember how you, Scorch, and Sephy keep bitching because you never get any good missions, and we say we'll only give you missions when everyone else dies, and Dos runs off to Rio de Janeiro with all the money in my bank account, and Tyrannous's brother-in-law decides he doesn't feel like working today, and the Pope converts to Islam? Guess what. You three fucking hit the jackpot. <:("
I still have both games, such as they are. If anyone wants, I'll zip 'em up and upload them, just for the hell of it.
