A message from DJ 1337 Man

Hello, everyone. I'm DJ 1337 Man, the founder of this wiki, also a member of Constructed Mythology (formerly known as ConMyth, by those who were there a long time ago - I like that name, by the way). As you may have noticed, Roleplaying Stories is getting to be very popular. That's good! I intended it to be that way! But there's quite a few things I hadn't intended to happen:

• The Roleplays are in the form of a script.
• There is a problem with the system of how these characters are made.
• The images are, to be blunt, bad.

I have devised a plan to help fix these problems. Here are my future plans for this wiki:

• I will begin helping to make this wiki better for people to actually read the story, and not just hear dialogue and see actions.
  • Because of this, I am beginning plans for Operation Storify, a plan to make the Roleplays to be actual stories.
• I will not tolerate any more creation of the so-called "Character Pages," as Erick likes to put them.
  • To correct this, I am beginning to take down all irrelevant character pages, and soon I will take down every page that is only for one character.
• I will begin helping Erick to make more quality images. No longer will they be made from Microsoft Paint (although I appreciate Erick's willingness to try and his skill at Paint)!

I have reasons below for these edits! Please read them below.

Again, Users will no longer be posting scripts or character pages!

[edit] How we will do it

I have noticed that this wiki is becoming more of a script-writing place, rather than a story-writing wiki. For this reason, I am beginning Operation Storify. This includes:

• Changing and editing every page to (instead of being a script) be a collaborative story in PARAGRAPH FORM.
• Turning every character page from being one separate character to being a group of characters devoted to that one story.
• Eventually deleting every page that is a Character page.
• Re-rendering images under advanced image editors such as the GIMP, Ultimate Paint, and Photoshop (with Erick's permission).

If you wish to keep any character pages for yourself, please move them to your Userpage immediately!

[edit] Why we will do it

This Reformation of this wiki is intended to keep and preserve the art of storytelling collaboratively. A few reasons are:

• The current role-playing "stories" aren't even stories any more. They're just narratives with no plot outline or back-story.
• The character pages are unnecessary, and only clutter the wiki with irrelevant material.

[edit] Examples of what the Wiki should look like

Here are some examples of how this wiki should be laid out (words in italics are meant to not be a part of the actual content):

[edit] A Story Page (No Longer Called "Threads")

Here is a story page's example:

[edit] Introduction

This is merely an outline

The wind howled through the tall grass in the prairie. A dragon flew high in the sky, its rider whooping and hollering as the dragon jostled him around playfully. This was the age of the dragon riders, long ago. Now it is much different. Men go out and fight others with swords clashing on shields, the clash of armor deafening, and above the ground is the duel of the dragon riders, fighting to the death. It wasn't always like this, but how it was led to being how it is.

[edit] Characters

(name) and (dragon) one person
(name) and (dragon) another person
(name) and (dragon) third person
etc.

People can only have one major character and one supporting character in each story!

[edit] Story

This is where people can contribute.

One character's perspective is shown to give flavor to the story.

Another person's character shows their perspective.

This keeps going until the story is complete.

[edit] A Character Page

There will be no such thing as a character page any more. All characters will be specific to that story only, and can't be reused. Reuse can be implied, but not actually said.
