MANTLE: REVIEW

Mysterious Figure Posts : 8336

Hello, all!

Well, here's the place to review that one-player session I was telling you about.

It can be found right here. This is also the place to ask questions, and for me to ask you questions about the story as well.

So, let's go!

Also first off, I'd like to ask you guys whether you would consent to having cameos in the story [just chatting with Oberon or Narija]. I don't know whether you're planning a different session, but anyway.

Oh my god I can't BELIEVE I missed this.

So awesome.

And lol yes, HELLA YODA!

See, AF, this is what happens when you're gone. You miss good stuff.

This reminds me, though, I need to make an image of Oberon typing (maybe?) to go with the next action, his first chatlog.

Bleh, whatever. I don't feel it's necessary to put an image with the chatlog. It's just typing.

Plus I'm lazy about image-making and don't feel very well right now, so whatever, the chatlog is posted in the main topic.

... BY JOVE. You're still at it!

Arcmail is a beautiful interface, and I can tell you've spent a lot of time on it. I read over the older messages, and appreciated the humor. As always when you translate the Codrexians into a story, however, I am slightly miffed by my scarcity.

While I'm quite hesitant to continue Homebrew as-it-was, I would be more than willing to consider continuing it in a text-only form in the event that our previous collaborations still stand. If you'd rather do your own thing, of course, that's fine too.

All I have to say is that while it is ridiculous that so many people would be in the chatbox at once, it is most likely that we would all be away.

Unfortunately, this last panel is one I made a long time ago.

Spectral, I'm glad you appreciate the older messages, as well as Arcmail's interface - someday I'm going to have to get someone to design an email interface like it for me. I think I'd considered including you in OT's inbox, but I just couldn't think of what you'd send him an email about! Most of their conversations were going to be in the chatbox.

If I continue MANTLE (and given my trip timeframe I'm not going to be doing so anytime soon), it's still going to be image-based, and I'd like if you could tie into that too if you were to continue Homebrew. But the two don't have to be linked, no. MANTLE is a bit offset, remember - it isn't apparent from the story yet, but Oberon's going to take over a year to complete his mod, and his launches exactly 3 weeks after Homebrew's Christmas date.

AF, you're referring to the panel just before the Arcmail one? If so, most of OT's contacts are away!

Today is the Glorious Day of the Number. It was my plan all along to have Oberon launch on this day, but it seems I'm more like his friend Narija after all - not so much inept as mind-bogglingly lazy. Let me read you something I sent to Spectral in a private message, over one year ago:

Walter M/G, on Mon 24 Dec 2012 at 18:25 wrote:: I'd intended to make a post where I skipped ahead, though it's probably going to take me longer than I thought.

That about sums it up. "Longer than I thought".

But MANTLE is not dead yet, comrades, nor will it be the only dead thing I attempt to keep alive on this Glorious Number Day. I have a few facts to tell you about this half-baked attempt at a comic that I will hopefully be whip-editing sometime.

“Oberon Scyreb” is not his full name. Scyreb is the middle name of Mr. Oberon S. S. – but I can’t confirm his last name just yet.
Although I referred to it as such, Oberon’s session is not a true One-Player Session. He didn’t have the patience necessary to properly redo the multiplayer framework provided by Fieldworks, and so instead, he created an AI character – but not in his own image.
The name of Fieldworks’s Marketing Chief is Fabrio Arrhakas.

Arrhakas, where have I heard th- WHAT THE NUMBER!?

Wally, you glorious apopheniac. You made me look up Farsight - and oh, dear, I was angsty back then.

Speaking of Farsight.
