An Idea For A Game/Project

[c5maier]

Priceless last picture! (And in no way could the next in line work on without this knowledge.)

[Venardhi]

I changed it last-minute, originally it ended with a confrontation within Kirk's head. It didn't make much sense for someone as apparently powerful to be so easily challenged by someone with such lacking 'psychic' abilities as Spock.

Venardhi, I love love love your entry! Especially the last image.

I'm looking forward to your continuation, Ptrope.

[Ptrope]

^^ So am I! Have no fear, I'm working on my panels even now, and I'm planning to have them done by the deadline. It's getting tougher as the story proceeds, though!

EDIT (10/21/08): Sorry, folks - hate to be part of the problem, but I'm also running behind on my panels. No excuse other than I'm having a tough time making a page I'm happy with, story-wise, and I still want to do this, but I want to do my best. If you want to move on and bump me down, I'll understand - otherwise, it will be another day or two. .

[Ptrope]

Okay, with my sincerest apologies, my entry is up. Vektor, I've lowered the bar just about as far as it can go, I think - you shouldn't have any problem improving upon this .

Don't sell yourself short, Ptrope. Given the explanation Spock provided, this makes perfect sense. I love the fact Spock is still unphased by their shared perceptions and even accepting "'toon physics" might be used to their advantage (ergo: cartoon hammers, aka "baka" mallets for the anime fans here).

BTW, nice homage to Don Martin!

Sincerely,

Bill

[Starscape]

I've been meaning to comment on the recent additions - they've all been fantastic.

And that includes yours Ptrope. It's a brilliantly off-the-wall idea!!
And a very clever way to work in a more comical style.

[Ptrope]

Thanks, guys! I wasn't sure about what the reception might be, but I really wanted to draw this one by hand, but I'm so out of practice that I knew I couldn't live up to the standards already set. Plus I really wanted to do an homage to Don Martin, and one thing that I think gets forgotten or overlooked a lot is just how much humor there was in TOS, even intentionally .

[Vektor]

Okay, this should make things interesting.

I'll do my best to get my entry in by next Wednesday.

[ThomastheCat]

I've been laying low for a while, but I wanted to get back in here and say that this project just keeps getting more and more interesting. I love how Venardhi gives us a spooky and intensely suspenseful panel and then Ptrope follows it up with something so whimsical... yet with the premise and plot we're working from it all still flows together. Wonderful work you guys, can't wait to see Vektor's next chapter!

[Vektor]

Guys, I really hate to do this but I'm going to have to pass on this one. I haven't had time to even work on ideas for the next set of panels and that's not going to change for at least the next several days. Just bad timing, unfortunately. I'll try again on the next go-around.

Whoa! Good thing I checked this thread today! I guess that means I'm on the chopping block.

Okay, so what do we have?

• Our lavender skinned beauty is in sickbay unconscious.
• Her state seems to have halted the shapeshifting of the alien craft.
• Spock's mindmeld has seemingly backfired with the entity originally "possessing" Kirk now in control of Spock's body.
• And, Spock seems to have established a mental link with Kirk, a connection Spock deduces may gain them an advantage over the entity.
• Oh, and Everly, our hapless security guard has thus far avoided typical "red-shirt" doom and is merely sleeping, dreaming of naked and randy, green Orion woman.

Right, I'll see what I can concoct.

Sincerely,

Bill

Love the Don Martin style, Ptrope! Always been a fan of his.

Yeah, I agree. I love how the main story thread is still progressing and not drifting away in obscurity. That's something I feared when we started this.

Hm, shite. I was really looking forward to your panel.

So that's the "humorous aside" you were talking about earlier? I'd like to see that realized as a panel.

Here's the updated list:

[01.] NCC-1701
[02.] ThomastheCat
[03.] Ptrope
[04.] PlanetMudd
[05.] Vektor
[06.] Redfern
[07.] Masao
[08.] Venardhi
[09.] Starscape
[10.] jon1701
[11.] Klondike307
[12.] ThomastheCat +
[13.] NCC-1701 +
[14.] Venardhi +
[15.] Ptrope +
[16.] Redfern +
[17.] Starscape +
[18.] Ampris
[19.] Masao +
[20.] Klondike307 +

+ = 2nd panel

[M'Sharak]

Liked them both, Venardhi and Ptrope!


M', Don Martin fan from all the way back to 'A San Francisco Trip' (if not even before)

**fladat!**

[Redfern]

Don't worry, gang. I'm not about to announce I can't do it this round.

Quite the opposite. I've completed all but two frames. I'll hopefully finish those two this evening and stitch each the elements together. I may actually have to arrange it as two image files. Even then, I suspect it will violate the new rules for in-line image dimensions. Of course, most of the submissions we've presented have "bent" the new rules one way or another.

Ptrope, are we being exempted due to the special nature of this project?

Sincerely,

Bill
