NATIONSTATES, THE MUSICAL!: A TROLL'S RHAPSODY

It opens in the Paradise Club 5000. Neutered Sputniks sits hunched over the bar, old and grey. Two young newbies run in, screaming excitedly and spewing streams of smilies and exclamation marks-mixed-with-ones every time they speak. They bounce around, giggling hysterically, bumping into each other and generally being newbish. They then break into a very fast, very high duet on the chorus, with one singing the first verse and the other the second.

"We're very new! How do we play?
What do we do? Please can we stay?
Where do we go? What’s this button for?
And do you know how to fight war?

How do we make our very own flag?
Only two issues is starting to drag.
How do we join the United Nations?
And here are our ages, sex and locations.

We're very new! How do we play?
What do we do? Please can we stay?
Where do we go? What’s this button for?
And please tell us where there's a war!

Why didn't our vote get near to quorum?
Why must this go in the Gameplay forum?
Why did our post get called a flame?
Why can't we change our nation name?

We're very new! How do we play?
What do we do? Please can we stay?
Where do we go? What’s this button for?
AND HOW THE FUCK DO WE START A WAR?"

<Neutered Sputniks chuckles wryly. "So...you want to learn about the game?" He eases himself round on the barstool stiffly. "Come, sit with me. I have an idea. Why don't I tell you a story...a story from long ago...a story of heroic mods, and evil trolls, and abortion debates...the story...(grandly) of NationStates!>

Newbie: When did this happen?

NS: Well my dear lad, it happened long ago, when the game was not even a decade old and there were only 120,000 active nations, as compared to five million now. It was a time before Myrth was an administrator and Melkor Unchained was a radical Trotskyite.There was Queen FairtTInk and we were just beginning to form the Parliament. It was a time when moderators roamed the forums...

Newbie: What's a moderator?

NS: Well, a moderator was someone who kept the peace in the forums. If someone was insulting another too harshly, then a moderator would lock the thread and they would issue warnings. There were about ten of them, I believe, There were some great ones. Frisbeetaria, Cogitation, me of course, Myrth, and at after the war there were Czardas, Lunatic Goofballs, and Monkeypimp (before he went insane). To some they were their greatest enemies, to other they were their free ride, and to a third group they were dear friends.
Newbie: Things must have been very chaotic as compared to the mod-free, porn-plastred forum of today.

NS:This was the Bronze Age and it was relatively peaceful. The Golden Age had ended when the mvoe to Jolt occured, only two other nations exist that were alive before then. The Silver Age passed briskly, then the Bronze Age was ushered in. It was, for the most part, a quiet place. There were trolls here and there...

Newbie: What's a troll?

NS: A troll was a person who intentionally angered people.

Newbie: Why would theydo that?

NS: For various reasons. Sometimes because of boredom, sometimes because of sexual irritation, or possibly because it made them feel better.Often when a troll was confronted by a moderator, he would plea with the moderator to spare him while the other posters tried to make their case, and it went a little something like this...
<Cut to a song:The Trolling Rhapsody, as parodied under Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, written by Romanore:
I see a little troll, poorly thought up usernames
Watch it angst, watch it flame under little scrutiny-
Firefights and lightning-very very frightening me-
Admins, (oh Admins)
Admins, (please Admins)
Admins let him go-magnifico!-
<Troll>But I'm just a lonely geek and nobody loves me-
<NSPlayers>He's just a lonely geek mindlessly watching T.V.
Spare us our lives from this monstrosity-
<NSers>Easy come easy go-, <Troll>Will you let me troll?
<Admins>By Barry! No! We will not let you troll! <NSers>Don't let him troll!
<Admins>By Barry! We will not let you troll! <NSers>Don't let him troll!
<Admins>By Barry! We will not let you troll! <Troll>Let me troll!
<Admins>Will not let you troll- <Troll>Let me troll!
Will not let you troll - Let me troll!
<Admins and NSers>No, no, no, no, no, no, no-
<Troll>1337 and h4x0rs, 1337 and h4x0rs, 1337 and h4x0rs, let me troll!-
*gasp!*Katganistan has a forumban set aside for me, for me, for meeeeee!

==Kat steps forward to confront the troll==

<Kat>So you think you can flame me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can troll me and leave me to cry-
Oh baby-can’t do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

==Troll begins to disappate as the forumban is set in...==

<Troll>Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the flaming blows....
-------------------------------------------------------
Newbie: The forums were actually like that once?

NS: Aye, they were more fun too.

Newbie: You find that chaos to be amusing?

NS: Yes, quite.

Newbie: Where's the peace, the porn, the polite debate?

NS: Those were unknown things back then, however occasionally someone would post a link to a porn site, in fact one time there was a picture of a man and two women doing a dirty San...uh forget I ever said. that.

Newbie: Well, at least that was as bad as it was.

NS: ROFL!

Newbie: I'm sorry, I don't speak the ancient slang.

NS: Excuse me, LWASMIOAU.

Newbie: Why is that so funny?

NS: That was nothing compared to the Great Forum War.

Newbie: What was that, sir?

NS: You see, long ago a Troll named Alanysum roamed the forum. He was notorious for his spam, flaming, and anti-moderation sentiment. He terrorized the forum. Then, one day Lord Max sent the moderators upon him and they vanquished, but not with great ease I can assure you. They perma-banned him and he was not seen again for two ages.

Newbie: When did he come back and how?

NS: That is a great tale, rather long. I do not think you would like it.

Newbie: Oh, I'm very interesting in history.

NS: Very wellthe. Long ago in towards the end of the Bronze Age, there existed a wise moderator by the name of sirocco. People came to him for help from all around...
<Neutered Sputniks's voice fades and we are in the past.>

RPer: Sirocco!

Sirocco: Yes?

RPer: I am in dire need of your assistance.

Sirocco: What is it, my child, what is the problem?

RPer: This troll tried to hijack my RP!

Sirocco: I'm right on it, and I'll do it with a smile.

Group of Generalites: Sirocco, Sirocco!

Sirocco: Yes, my mine fellows?

Group of Generalites: This spammer keeps posting to his forum!

Sirocco: Do not worry, I'll solve this.

Group of Generalites: Thank you, thank you!

Sirocco: You are most welcome.
There's no need to fear, Sirocco is here!

When spammers of these threads appear
And break the rules that they should fea
And piss off all those who post here
The cry goes up both far and near for
Sirocco, Sirocco!
Sirocco, Sirocco!

Speed of lightning! Roar of thunder!
Never making a single blunder!
Sirocco! Sirocco!

When in their Cave the moddies read
Of those who we want to make bleed
And DEAT is what they really need.
To make life good with blinding speed goes
Sirocco, Sirocco!
Sirocco, Sirocco!

Speed of lightning! Roar of thunder!
Never making a single blunder!
Sirocco! Sirocco!<Voice-over by Neutered Sputniks>
NS: Yes, it was a good time for general. Sirocco was one of the most powerful and one of the most trusted, and next to me, the sexiest moderator around. The spammers and trolls were kept under control, to a degree, and the posters were free to fill the empty void that was their social life, or lack thereof. However, there were still trolls. Some of the most memorable were Jesussaves and Beeker.

Newbie: Who were they?

NS: Jesussaves was a puppet of a poster named Drunk Commies, who you know as Drunk Commies XII. He was extremely religious and had atrocious grammatical skills. He was deleted by one of the moderators, I cannot remember which. My memory fails me. Beeker was ten times more bothersome than Jesussaves and far more annoying than Whittier--.

Newbie: Who?

NS: The militant atheist and PETA lunatic, well this was before that.

Newbie: Oh.

NS: I defeated him after a great battle with him. People still remember it today, well those who are from the Old Days anyway. There were spammera galore, though not all of them were bad. Colodia was loved by most and FairyTInk was even HRH Queen of General, thought it was a self-appointed title, but prestigious none the less.Possibly the most notorious troll of the Bronze Age was Commando[2]. It took at least eight deletions before he was finally put into submission. He was a fervant fundementalist and a closeted homosexual, at least that what some thought.

<Fade out, the following lines are sung, but it's not an official song.>
Commando[2]:
Fuck you and you and you! Fuck you and her and him and that and double fuck you and up yours asshole, fuck you and you and you and you and everyone!

Swimmingpool:
Look at that troll, he really has no life.
All he does his post garbage and cause civil strife.
He never leaves us be
And he always annoys me.

Eutrusca: There really isn't any peace around here. His threads are pure and utter, sheer and open, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T!

Leonstein:
There's really no substance to it
Anyone can just do it.
All his lies and propaganda,
Makes me want to kill a baby panda!

Commando[2]:
I know I drive you crazy
I could post about politics
But I'm too lazy
I prefer to call people inbred hicks
And watch the sparks fly!

Swimmingpool: Why can't you just fall over and die?

Commando[2]: Quite simply, you seeeee!

I'm all alone, yes all alone
I have nothing to do, but bitch and mone
I'm all alone, not a soul in sight
I'm all alone, so I'll think I'll start a...
FIGHT!
<music solo>
I'm all alone and without a care
I sit at my computer in the bare
No one with my opinions I could share!

I have no place where I have to be
This time it's all about me
To General forums my posts you will soon see!

I like to post flamebait and troll
For this I have to pay no toll
I put a "fuck you" option in every poll

To general forums my posts you will soon see!

I like to make people angry
Because I have anonymity
With every pissed off reply, I fill glee!

The Generalites call me an ass
And the mods are always crass
I post with very little or no class!

My threads last less than two hours
Because the mods always use their powers

TO GENERAL FORUMS MY POSTS YOU WILL SOON
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
---------------------------------------------------------
NS: This person was a bastard through and through, there was no doubt about it. All day long he would pitty pitty pum, if I was a rich man, dadadada...

Newbie: Huh?

NS: Sorry about that. He was struck down, by possibly Frisbeetaria, but I'm nto certain.

Swimmingpool: Mods, mods he's at it again!

Frisbeetaria: Who?

Swimmingpool: That troll, Commando[2]!

Frisbeetaria: Not again!

Swimmingpool: Yes, again!

Frisbeetaria: Call him forth!

Commando[2]: You rang?

Frisbeetaria: Have you been flaming again?

Commando[2]: Whatever do you mean, Frissie?

Frisbeetaria: It's Fris or Frisbeetaria, but NEVER Frissie, understand?

Commando[2]: Yes.

Frisbeetaria: You are lying.

Commando[2]: I would never lie to you.

Frisbeetaria: Oh really?:
I know what you said
And posted on that hread
You said you'd shoot him in the head
You said," I'll fill his body full of lead."

Your death threats were quite explicit
I told you many times to quit it
But you never took my warnings seriously
Instead you continue to attack maliciously

No more of you're bullshit will I take in
You're actions have gotten under my skin
As punishment you, which I'm sure you'll understand,
You're unwanted, alone, and canned!

Commando[2]: You mean, gulp, I'm banned?

Frisbeetaria: Yes, you're banned.

Commando[2]:
Is there any chance that I can plea
Anything that can save me?
I am but a troll with good intentions
Which there are not any mentions

Frisbeetaria:
There is nothing you can do
It's time to clear your flaming and start anew
No one here wishes to even see you
Commando[2]:
Be that as it may, this is not the last of Commando[2]!
I will have my revenge and return
And your character I will burn
Hatred for you all I will churn
Not underestimating is something you should learn

Frisbeetaria: Are you quite finished?

Commando[2]: Yes.

Frisbeetaria: Good, now get out!

<voice-over>
NS: And with that, he was perma-banned.

Newbie: What about his promise?

NS:What promise?

Newbie: To one day and return and seek his revenge?

NS: Oh, that. Well, no one took that seriously. Many have made that promise, but they never have fulfilled it. However, this time it was a mistake to ignore it.

Newbie: Why? What happened?

*fades into candle-lit room in a castle, NS voice fades in...*

NS (voice-over): Ahh yes...this is me so many long years ago...old but still full of life!

NS: Bah, I hope Lunatic Goofballs hurries...

Newbie: *voice-over* For what?

NS: *voice-over* Hey hey hey, just watch the goddamn flashback, alright?

*LG bursts into room with his apprentic, Colodia*

NS: Lunatic, you really shouldn't bring your young nephew into this situtation...

Colodia: A curse upon your house, NS! I am Colodia, Apprentic to the High Court Jester of the Kingdom of Max Barry! I will succeed Goofballs himself one day and become the Royal High Court Jester himself!

LG: *pats Colodia on the head* All in due time Colodia...all in due time...

NS: LG, do you have the package I requested?

LG: Yes, right here. However, I find it odd you didn't use your mod powers to fetch this yourself.

NS: Well, seeing as how Commando[2] is expecting a moderator to foil any plans he has for revenge, it seems better to send the forum's veteran joker to the front lines to retrieve this.

Colodia: What is it anyway?

NS: Hush young one.

Colodia: Argh...

LG: Colodia, in this package I hold contains the powers of dark trolls...

Colodia: I thought you said the only powers trolls possesed was the ability to not be affected by any bit of intelligence?

LG: Aye, and that is what is in the package.

Colodia: So basically, this package is essence de troll?

LG: Basically.

Colodia: Then why do we fear it so?

NS: Enough of your questions! LG, this package must be sent to Sirrocco at once.

LG: Yes, NS.

Colodia: But you haven't told me -

NS: Enough or it'll be a one-week forumban!

Colodia: ...

*fades out*

Newbie: Why didn't NS just destroy the package with his mod powers?

NS: This troll power was far more powerful than anything we ever dealt with before...

Newbie: Why?

NS: Dammit kid you remind me of Colodia...
Newbie: Tell me more abotu this troll.
Group of Newbies: Yes, tell us about...
<Newbies together> A Scroll of a Troll? Say it wasn't so! (I'm actually thinking that it might be a bit better if the Newbies are sing-songy in their questions and remarks, as well as in unison with each other most of the time. You can shoot this idea down though.)

<NS> Unfortunately, it was so. And it wasn't an ordinary troll, oh no. This one... this one was very powerful indeed. *broods for a moment, shaking his head* Very powerful.

<Newbies> Was he scary? Was he tough?

<NS> That and more so. Very rough. *catches himself* Dammit kids, quit with the sing-song. Now you're making me rhyme!

<Newbies> Sorry...

<NS> Anyway...

=flashback=

<voice-over of NS> The Dark Scroll of Alanysum was one that us Moderators had hoped would never be opened. It held the great essence of that perma-banned troll, defeated by Lord Max. Should it have been opened, that power of flame and angst would have wrought the boards with such <i>great</i> flamewar, the very core of Jolt would be destroyed!...

<Colodia> Let's open it!

<LG> !! No! *takes the scroll away from him* What are you? Firsking stupid?

<Colodia> ... *raises hand to protest* Umm.

<NS> Nevermind that, Lunatic. The scroll should never be opened. Ever.

<LG> Which is exactly why we're taking it to Sirrocco, and exactly why we're not telling you any more.

<NS> Yes. Let's go. Quickly!

=fade to the realms of General, where a tiny flame begins to spark. Distant voices, some quite high in temper, grow in volume. The flame grows larger and highlights several people, which include Eutrusca, Fass, Sinuhue, several other Generalites, and the troll New Zealand.=

<Eutrusca> How dare you mock me! Someone please get this troll off of the boards!

<some Generalites> *shouts of agreement*

<Fass> *mumbles* I wish someone would get you off of the boards...

<Sinuhue> Eut, for once, you and I agree. Ban this guy. Or gal. Whomever this troll is.

<New Zealand> Oh please, people! You're all in the wrong, you just don't see it yet! Take your idiot thinking to your graves! The world doesn't need it!

=the flames grow broader and brighter=

<New Zealand> In fact, take your mothers with you!>

<Generalite #1> STFU, n00b!

<Fass, Sinuhue, and Eutrusca together> *gasp!* What did he just say?

<Generalite #2> He's reverting to chatspeak!

<NZ> N0! J00 STFU! 1 w1ll PWnz0r j00!

<all Generalites> *Gasp!* Now he's doing it!

<Eutrusca as an aside> Well.. I'm not all that surprised really, but... *gasp!*

=Both continue spout 1337 flames at each other, as an ominous darkness forms behind the growing fire=

<Fass, Sinuhue, and Eutrusca> (breaking into a slow song)
What is going on? What is going on?
Are the keyboard broken? Are the comp lights on?
Why use chatspeak, why use leet?
What is going on?!

<Fass>I thought I'd never see the day
When reformed writers drop the ball.
I break down weeping when they say
"1337 t3h h4x0rz, 0n3 4nd 4ll!" (last line overlapped with a deeper, darker voice, which causes all three to look around for the source)

<F, S, and E> What is going on? What is going on?
Has English rolled over? Is language gone?
Why use chatspeak, why use leet?
What is going on?!

<Sinuhue> I don't have the will to stop and think
Just what will happen to our Board
When 'a's and 'o's go down the sink
Replaced with '4's and *quickly cringes*--oh my Lord!

<F, S, and E> 1st Chorus

<Eutrusca> Use the Board to speak your say
That's why it's there. That's why it's great.
But when you think that leet's okay
Mods'll kick yer ass, that's damn straight!

<F, S, and E>What is going on? What is going on?
Are we hacked? Have flames finally won?
Why use chatspeak, why use leet?
What is going on?!

=fade to dark with deep laughing from a bodiless voice...; End Act One=
Act II (Part of it)



<opens in the past>
Cogitation: What is the matter?

Fass: It's that damn troll, New Zealand.

Cogitation: Again?

Fass: Yeah, could you please deal with this?

Cogitation: I will.

Eutrusca: What will you do?

Cogitation: He will be deleted, he has been given chance and chance and has not changed in the slightest. DEATion is the only solution.

Fass: Thank your God, he was an annoying little prick.

Cogitation: You're most welcome, I can't stand trolls of any sort around here.

Fass: As you should.

Cogitation:
I have seen many things in my mod career
I've seen all sorts of trolls and flamers here
It seems as if their numbers increase every year

It's alwys the same tripe
And they post with unnecessary hype
I'm so sick of their demented type!

Fass, Eutrusca, and Sinuhue:
We're so fed up with all the troll flame
Why can't they just leave the way they came?
Their contributions range from insults to l33t
They're posts aren't even grammatical neat

Cogitation:
They supply me with an infinite work load
All they do is flame, troll, goad
They always seem to come repeatedly
And because of them I've lost faith in humanity
F, E, and S:
Their posts lack any real creativity
And their threads have a short longevity
Why can't they go away
And let su post as we may
Because..
IF THEY DON'T WE 'RE GONNA FUCKING GO INSANE!

Cogitation: That would be nice if they left, but that simply isn't going to happen. It never has and it never will, unfortunately.

Fass: I know what we could do!

Eutrusca: You sodomize them into submission?

Fas:...fuck you.

Eutrusca: It was just a little joke, I ...

Cogitation: Please, continue, Fass.

Fass: Why don't we just recruit more moderators?

Cogitation: That may work, but their aren't many who are worthy enough to be moderators though.

Fass: Well, you could always ask for Myrth to come back

New Songs:
My idea for a Cog song.

Starts off with him sitting forlornly by a piano. The first two verses are slow and mellow, with a gentle piano part (and possibly some cello in the second). Then, with the Ooooh!, he leaps up, grabs the mike, and starts prancing round screaming the second half as an up-tempo rock 'n' roll song, possibly Little Richard-esque, with boogie-woogie piano, some sax, and if possible, some chorus girls chanting along as he sings the chorus.


Every time I come along
And see that something has gone wrong,
No matter how hard I try,
A cold glass tear pricks my eye.
And of course I can delete
Every foul flame that I meet,
But no amount of modly power
Can stop my heart turning sour.

So maybe I should let them know
The source of my sad lament.
Perhaps I should stand and crow:
"Think about it for a moment!"

But no...

I'm sure if they could only see
What their word games do to me
They might control their giddy selves
And not call Jewish people elves.
Maybe they are just retards
Who do not know their words are shards
That bring me quaking to my knees.
Oh won't they stop this, oh please...

So this time I shall take a stand:
Make sure my post is fully sent.
Right now, this stops, so I say, and,
"Think about if for a moment!"

Ooooh!

Yeah think about it for a moment!
I think you need to realize.
Ooh think about if for a moment!
Time to philosophise.

There's really no need to be so bad,
Or to go round makin' people sad.
Just 'cos they don't agree with you
Yeah don't call them a stinky poo.
And let’s all please now try to see
With a little good old empathy.
That we can all have an opinion,
And that don't necessarily make us wrong!

Yeah think about it for a moment!
I think you need to realize.
Ooh think about if for a moment!
Time to philosophise.

So control your fingers boys and girls,
Turn your cheek whenever someone hurls
Those bad insults, just walk away
You know deep down they've nothin' to say.
So come on li'l children, yes indeed,
Let's follow Uncle Cog and his creed.
Yeah so come y'all, stop drooling over Tink,
Let's come on down and have a good think.

Yeah think about it for a moment!
I think you need to realize.
Ooh think about if for a moment!
Time to philosophise.

Think about it for a moment!
Think about it for a moment!
You, think about it for a moment!
And you, and yes, you, come on, let's think!

Think about it for a moment.

You forgot PM under graphics. He did the poster and I think he's wanting to help out some more with other animation...although I could be wrong.

Other than that, good stuff (even though it's all blatantly copied :p)

yeah i'll help out with animation as much as i can, though i don't have Flash (well, i do but i lost the CD :mad: ). anything else graphics-wise i'm good for though
also i'm more than happy to make (and host) a website for this


oh and good stuff so far indeed! :)


----from previous thread----



Dude, if you made the website/ wiki, I'd love you forever. Or until I was able to give you pie, whichever comes first.
it'd be my pleasure... plus i want pie! :P

and you sing? sweeeeet!

Plot:
Troll hacks into Sirocco's account
The scroll is opened and Sirocco becomes Alanysum
He begins to act strangely and soon corrupt many of the mods
Myrth is one of the corrupted
The others are banished to the spam forum
A war starts between the n00bs/Trolls/Mods and the Generalites/banished mods.
Myrth turns over to the good side and helps the main character.
Alanysum is defeated.
Myrth becomes an admin for his good work
The End

excellent. with that i'll do some kind of poster thingy-wotzit tomorrow to hopefully entice more peeps in


i've had some ideas about some graphical techniques to throw in - this is partly just to remind myself to elaborate tomorrow (am off to bed soon)


though speaking of this, what kind of graphical style are we going to aim for? cartoon would work best i think (just not south-park style!)


actually south-park style would allow people to make their own characters, and involves relatively simple animation styles (including not necessarily having to lip-synch)... could be a good bet actually

Wait a minute, I know it continued after much discussion, but where is Cat-Tribe? Embraced hand in hand with Lunatic Goofballs and Tink at the climactic song after the murder of BitchKitten? The settling of the forum wars is a result of the tragedy of a real life murder. Or at least that was the idea.

That's a good question. This was going to be about the history of the forum, but then it turned into this great adventure story.

Me and Colodia, as well as Gruenberg were working on some of the plot, and it still fits quite well with the new revisions. Is it alright to include our plot ideas into the grand scheme of things? Mods losing their modly powers is one thing that was necessary.

Of course. Act one was just a brief introduction and act two will be the rise of Alanysum/fall of the mods, and act three will be the revival. (I think)

Exactly, the history of the forums is a large story within the original bar-scene, with the story being told of the great forum wars. The forum war was what we were working on. With mods and trolls and fighting and death! It all sounds so well developed at this point.

Or a continuing vendetta between Eutrusca and Drzhen (from the 1984 thread) or someone else he has vendettas with (like me :D ) Or Eutrusca and Stephistan.

Of course. Act one was just a brief introduction and act two will be the rise of Alanysum/fall of the mods, and act three will be the revival. (I think)


The ideas for act three that were discussed were that the flame-war was in full power, with veteran posters leaving left and right. A few brave souls get appalled by the postings one day (Tink, Bitchkitten, Cat-Tribe, Lunatic Goofballs) and seek to restore peace to the forums. Bitchkitten is in the middle of posting, and one insane flamer takes it all too seriously, and murders her (in real life). The realization comes over the forum, and Cat-Tribe steps out with Tink and Lunatic Goofballs, singing a song of truth before the forums erupt into war again. But some are moved by the reality that flaming/spamming/trolling is wrong, and they, along with the veteran posters and mods, fight one last, epic battle in a thread entitled "George W. Bush, him's my cowboy!" and defeat the offenders once and for all. Alanysum is forever cast into oblivion, but after he confesses to just being a 13 year old who enjoys pissing people off, and he is truly sorry for helping to cause the death of Bitchkitten.

So far, how does it look? This was the general idea that was devised for act three, with some modifications. Tell me what you like, and what should change.
Gruenberg
12-08-2005, 01:42
Yeah, I think it has to be Eutrusca/Stephistan (or possibly Sinuhue). We should possibly just be the tiniest bit careful here, though: ripping on trolls is fair game, and the mods have thick skin (well, they have flame-retardant metal death armour, which is a good-enough substitute), but mocking active posters might not go down so well.

We also need to incorporate the mods, with Cog leading Kat and Karma and some other good mods against Sirocco, Fris, Myrth and other fallen mods, before they finally see the light. But what you've put looks good. Oh, and we forgot the abortion debaters!

More of Act II.

Cogitation: Ask Myrth to come back?

Fass: Yes.

Cogitation: Baw?

Fass: Baw? Why baw? Baw is not good.

Cogitation: He hasn't even telegrammed anyone since he retired. It's as if he is that old man sitting in the rocking chair, holding a loaded shotgun.

Eutrusca: I didn't know he was from Michigan.

Cogitation: ....heh.

Eutrusca: What? That was funny, right? <silence> Do you know what? Screw you all, I don't need you.

Fass: Good bye.

Eutrusca: Touche', Fass.

<There is an abrupt stop and a voice-over>

Newbie: Why did Myrth leave?

NS: It is said it was due to real life problems, but there have been many rumors.

Newbie: Rumors, what kind of rumors?

NS: Some said that he abused his mod powers. He used them to vanquish his enemies and silent those who suspected or even accused him of wrong-doing. It was said that he DEATed 11 nations before he was asked to step down. Another rumor said that he assisted trolls before the Great War and gave them special privelages.

Newbie: Wow, he must have been hated.

NS: Oh, no. Quite the contrary actually. He was loved by most and was included in nearly every poll. Ah, that brings back fond memories.

Newbie: What is a poll?

NS: Well, it was a device used to see the opinion of the other posters regarding a certain topic and usually each one posted an option that mentioned Myrth. He received telegrams by the hundreds and he was one of the most popular players in the game. Boy, did he own the UN rankings.

Newbie: Wait, even if was that loved, how could he become an administrator if he did all of those terrible things?

NS: If you shut the fuck up and let me finish telling me story, I will tell you.

Newbie: I am shutting up.

NS: Thank you.

Better wait a parsec.
Ya better hold the phone.
Ya better mind your powers.
Better rewrite your tome.

Don't you threaten me mod.
You got a lot of gall.
We gonna do things my way.
Or you won't do things at all.

Ya don't know what you're moddin' with.
You got no idea.
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at
When you're lookin' here.

Ya don't know what you're up against,
No, no way, no how.
You don't know what you're moddin' with,
But I'm gonna show you now!

Get this straight!
I'm just a mad mod h4x0r from the outer webs
and I'm bad.
I'm just a rad mod thrasher who'll bash your face
and it looks like you been had. (Seriously!)
I'm just a mad mod smasher from the outer webs,
So get off my back, 'n get outta my face,
'Cause I'm mad and rad,
And I 1337...

=more mods appear to handle him, as one apparently isn't good enough; Alanysum smirks=

Wanna save your skins mods?
You wanna save this game?
You want it to see tomorrow? (Ha-Ha!)
You better step aside.
Better take a tip mods.
Want some "g00d 4dv1c3"?
Ya better take it easy,
'Cause you're typin' on thin ice.

Ya don't know what you're moddin' with.
No, you never did.
Ya don't know what you're lookin' at,

But that's tough titty, kids!

The flames aren't sundered tonight,
And if you gas it up, it roars.
Ya say, "That ain't fair?"
Ya say, "That ain't nice?"
Ya know what I say? "Up yours!"

Watch me now!

and you've got me violent and mad. (Watch out now!)

Gonna h4x your ass! Gonna rock this place!
'Cause I'm mad and rad,
And I am 1337...

Don't talk to me about that old Commando's song.
You think he's the worst? Well, you're thinkin' wrong.
Don't talk to me about that jesussaves dime.

<flashback to the mod cave>
Melkor Unchained: What a busy day, so many damn trolls and so much bitching, I could barely take it.

Katganistan: They don't pay us nearly enough for this job.

MU: Kat, we don't get paid at all, this is strictly voluntary.

Kat: Oh, yes, that slipped my mind.

Frisbeetaria: How many flamers did you have to DEAT today?

Frisbeetaria: What about you, Cog, how many did you have to DEAT? <Cogitation doesn't respond> Cog, cog?

Frisbeetaria: How many nations did you DEAT today?

Cogitation: It never gets any easier...

Kat: What was that?

<Sirocco comes barging in>
Sirocco: Come on, guys!

<All> What?

Sirocco: There's a massive flamefest in General! It's another abortion thread!

Sirocco: Come on, we have no time to lose.

<They all leave, except for Cogitation>
Frisbeetaria: Cog, you comin'?

Cogitation: They don't know. This job never gets any easier...it's always the same thing...
<Starts off with him sitting forlornly by a piano. The first two verses are slow and mellow, with a gentle piano part (and possibly some cello in the second). Then, with the Ooooh!, he leaps up, grabs the mike, and starts prancing round screaming the second half as an up-tempo rock 'n' roll song, possibly Little Richard-esque, with boogie-woogie piano, some sax, and if possible, some chorus girls chanting along as he sings the chorus.>

Every time I come along
And see that something has gone wrong,
No matter how hard I try,
A cold glass tear pricks my eye.
And of course I can delete
Every foul flame that I meet,
But no amount of modly power
Can stop my heart turning sour.

It never gets better...

So maybe I should let them know
The source of my sad lament.
Perhaps I should stand and crow:
"Think about it for a moment!"

But no...

I'm sure if they could only see
What their word games do to me
They might control their giddy selves
And not call Jewish people elves.
Maybe they are just retards
Who do not know their words are shards
That bring me quaking to my knees.
Oh won't they stop this, oh please...

So this time I shall take a stand:
Make sure my post is fully sent.
Right now, this stops, so I say, and,
"Think about if for a moment!"

Ooooh!

Yeah think about it for a moment!
I think you need to realize.
Ooh think about if for a moment!
Time to philosophise.

There's really no need to be so bad,
Or to go round makin' people sad.
Just 'cos they don't agree with you
Yeah don't call them a stinky poo.
And let’s all please now try to see
With a little good old empathy.
That we can all have an opinion,
And that don't necessarily make us wrong!

Yeah think about it for a moment!
I think you need to realize.
Ooh think about if for a moment!
Time to philosophise.

So control your fingers boys and girls,
Turn your cheek whenever someone hurls
Those bad insults, just walk away
You know deep down they've nothin' to say.
So come on li'l children, yes indeed,
Let's follow Uncle Cog and his creed.
Yeah so come y'all, stop drooling over Tink,
Let's come on down and have a good think.

Yeah think about it for a moment!
I think you need to realize.
Ooh think about if for a moment!
Time to philosophise.

Think about it for a moment!
Think about it for a moment!
You, think about it for a moment!
And you, and yes, you, come on, let's think!

Hmm....then again...

Here's what I'm thinking after Cog does that little song. He joins the flame fest in General alongside the other mods, but he is so depressed by the fighting that he fails to respond to a troll attack on Myrth. Myrth is tied up and hauled away in the midst of the fighting and Cog just collapses on the floor after failing to perform his duties as a mod. The mods look around and slowly realize the absence of Myrth.

Then, at a secret hideout, Myrth is interrogated by the trolls for the truth to the [violet] = Max Barry conspiracy. When Myrth fails to spill any information, the trolls reveal their secret troll that manages to debate with Myrth so well, that Myrth himself joins forces with the evil trolls.

Cog: *whispers* I must help him...but I can't....oh man what do I do?

*Angel appears on Cog's right shoulder*

Angel: Cog, help your fellow mod. He needs your help and your good and able!

*Minion appears on Cog's left shoulder*

Minion: Why bother? You don't want to do this job anymore! Forget him and fly away. You still have your powers from Max Barry. Use them to your liking!!

Angel: *pulls out AK-47* Alright bitch, it ends right here, right now.

*Angel pumps 50 bullets into minion, who poofs away*

Angel: Cog, just do something...for the sake of your friend....*poofs away*

Cog: But...I can't move...Dammit you guys aren't any help!

Troll2: Now! Gag him!

Troll5: Back to our headquarters!

Troll2,3,4: To the headquarters! To the headquarters!

Cog: ...

Troll5: Haha! Now we fly away!

And they flew. They flew all the way to their headquarters and the mods were still bogged down by the rule-breakers back on the ground...except for Cog, who later pulled out a pistol and contemplated suicide.

Cog: Fuck it. *shoots newbie spammer who just received a slap on the wrist by Fris*

And for the audio, I don't know how you traditionally do it for the flash, but I'm thinking it would be simplest for all the animation to be complete, along with dailogue, and have the background music (I assume we'll have a lot of it) composed after everything is drawn. The songs would probably have to be recorded first, then animation after, but if there's a better or easier way, please let me know.

Well...this is what I was thinking following their entrance to the mini-flame war.

After Cog finishes his song:

Fris: *on conveinient nearby radio* Cog! *static* We need you here! Where the hell are you?

Cog: *sigh* It must be done.

*Cog flies to the scene*

Troll: Argh! Take that you mod! And that! And that!

Myrth: Your pathetic. Away with you! *flicks wrist and troll flies into the horizon*

Troll2: Dammit! Whatever shall we do?

Troll3: Regroup! Regroup!

Kat: Quickly! Don't let them regroup! DEAT as many as you can!

Fris: Dammit there's too many of them!

Cog: *whispers* Why am I fighting...?

Troll4: We have regrouped! Where is Troll 5, our leader?

Troll5: We need the scroll back! Quickly! Take Myrth! I'm sure he'll be very useful to us!

Troll2,3,and 4: To Myrth! To Myrth!

Myrth: Dammit, they're all over me!

Fris: I've got my hands full with this flamer!

Kat: I'm dealing with the thread flooder!

MU: I'm dealing with my own personal issues! (Scripters Note: :D)

Cog: *whispers* What am I doing...?

Myrth: Noooo! I'm piled up! ...Oh God why does this turning me on?

Cog: *whispers* I must help him...but I can't....oh man what do I do?

*Angel appears on Cog's right shoulder*

Angel: Cog, help your fellow mod. He needs your help and your good and able!

*Minion appears on Cog's left shoulder*

Minion: Why bother? You don't want to do this job anymore! Forget him and fly away. You still have your powers from Max Barry. Use them to your liking!!

Angel: *pulls out AK-47* Alright bitch, it ends right here, right now.

*Angel pumps 50 bullets into minion, who poofs away*

Angel: Cog, just do something...for the sake of your friend....*poofs away*

Cog: But...I can't move...Dammit you guys aren't any help!

Troll2: Now! Gag him!

Troll5: Back to our headquarters!

Troll2,3,4: To the headquarters! To the headquarters!

Myrth: Mmmph! Mmmpble! *HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK* *muffled spit*

Hack: Oh no, they've got Myrth!

Cog: What?

Kat: Save him Cog!

Cog: ...

Troll5: Haha! Now we fly away!

And they flew. They flew all the way to their headquarters and the mods were still bogged down by the rule-breakers back on the ground...except for Cog, who later pulled out a pistol and contemplated suicide.

Cog: Fuck it. *shoots newbie spammer who just received a slap on the wrist by Fris*

Fris: *gasp* Cog...he was only 4 posts old! And he just spammed a little!

Cog: That's it. No more fucking around.

In South Park form?

And also, is there a certain theme the costumes should be in? I always thought of NS as sort of a feudal system. The King, Max Barry. His knights, the mods. The lords, the Generalites. And the pheasants, the newbs.

So I was thinking kind of a midevil kinda look for everyone.

So that Bohemian Rhapsody parody -- was there going to be lyrics for the beginning part? Cuz I spent 30 FUCKING MINUTES ON IT AND IT LOGGED ME OUT AS I WAS TYPING AND WAS STUPID ENOUGH NOT TO DO IT IN WORD SO I HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN! God dammit!

Anyway, my creative juices aren't flowing well tonight, but here's what I came up with:

Is this the real life
Is this just fantasy
Gone in the Internet
An escape from reality
This is the place
Of endless debate and flame
I’m just a newbie, I need no sympathy
Because I’m little post, here and there
Little flame, little troll
Any way the flame blows
Doesn’t really matter to me
To me

Frisbee, just DEAT a man
Put his button on his mouse (any other ways to show someone being DEATed?)
Clicked my button now he’s goe
Oh, Frisbee oooOOOoo, he had just joined
But now you’ve gone and thrown it all away
Frisbee, oooOOOoo
Didn’t mean to make you mad
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, I’ve made my mind
Sends shivers down my spine
Getting mad all the time
Goodby everybody, I’ve got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the world
Frisbee, oooOOOoo
I don’t wanna stay
Sometimes wish I’d never joined at all
Well, it's not as bad as I thought. Thoughts, comments, suggestions, insults, welcome!

Y'know, I was thinking I should do something with the beginning part. It's just when I tried to think of a song, the part that I started with was what shot at me first. I can try to come up with the beginning, but I think yours suits just fine. He, while mourning the loss of Fris, spots a troll, and the rest is history.

So LGD, seeing as how you're the only singer so far, do you think you could pull off the Bohemian Rhapsody parody that well? I know it's a rather tough song to sing, actually a really tough song to sing, so I don't know if we should just scrap that or give it a go. If you want to do the vocals, I should probably start on the music as I only have few precious hours until school starts up again. So what are your thoughts on that?

For Max I tried making him look like a King, because he's referred to as that in Act 1.
For [violet] I gave her a halo, symbol of adminsip, and made her look official.
For Sirocco I gave him another halo and a little evil yet kind look, because he does play a decent part in the musical.

lol, I'd have to get the song as it's been some time since I heard it, and see. Believe it or not, I'm very critical of my singing (despite knowing I'm rather good), and thus surprisingly shy when it comes to singing in front of people that I know (though performing for a large audience of people I'm anonymous to doesn't really bother me..lol), so we'll see how confident I feel in putting m'self out for the main roles, but I'll most certaintly try. You may as well get started on the music if you want (remember, though, we're in no rush), so that if I am unable to do it for some reason, we'll have it ready for others.

Couldn't people just use the South Park character creator as their own and you could take it from there?
exactly what i was thinking - i'm doing a little character test now to see what it might look like animated
make sure people choose the light grey background when they screenshot their character to make cutting it out easier. this is gonna be quite a labour-intensive job i should think (unless Jenrak knows some faster way than i do), so i'll help out with this.
Jenrak: tell me what format you want the character(s) in (EPS or what?). i'm seperating out arms, head and eyes should be pretty easy, so we'll want to keep them as seperate layers... hence EPS?



oh and regarding the music side of things, i don't doubt music and vocals will have to be put together for the songs (and other production-side stuff). if nobody else wants to i can do that (i have some experience here with bands and stuff)

again i don't know what Jenrak says, but from a general animation point of view the second one would both be a bitch to seperate-out and animate.

it would be easiest on the animators if everyone kept the same standard eyes and smiley mouth, cos then parts can just be re-used rather than having to animate each character individually

i don't think you can upload anything to this forum, however i have unlimited webspace on my server so you can either email stuff to me to host or, if you know how, we could set up some kind of upload protocol on one of my domains (most likely www.hlj.me.uk for now). i have no idea how to do that - though i understand its possible.

other than that there are plenty of file storage websites similar to imageshack out there - here's one https://www.web-a-file.com/Redirect.cgi?html=pp.html&section=8



oh and have fun in Anaheim, Colodia :)

<voice-over to Neutered Sputniks>
NS: And it was on that day that darkness began to loom over the forums. The once great Myrth had been captured by the last remaining units of trolls that had been ravaging the forums since the First Forum War way back in the Silver Age. It was obvious that the attack was well coordinated because no one even suspected it. It began as a simple falme, then the trolls made their move. At first it was not known why they had captured Myrth, although he commanded the respect of the Generalites, he was not a mod. He could not give them access to any files, or so the moderators believed. The moderators, after pacifying the crowd, returned to their mod cave to discuss their next move.
<go to the mod cave>
Frisbeetaria: DAMN IT!, Damn it all, you let him go, Cogitation! How could you?

Cogitation: I tried, but there was just too many of those fuckers!

Sirocco: That's not a valid excuse! They have Myrth, do you know the size of the shitstorm will be once the Generalites find out that the trolls took Myrth? By Barry, we could very well lose our jobs!

Melkor Unchained: I can't lose my job! Next to interior decorating, moderating is my life!

Sirocco: What about me? I have been here longer than you, how do you think I feel? I can't go back to telemarketing, that was so dreadfully boring.

Cogitation: Hey, asss goblin, I tried, it's not my fault they swarmed us, I didn't start the fight.

Melkor Unchained: How do we know that?

Cogitation: Melkor, what the hell?! I didn't start that thread.

Melkor Unchained: Oh, well then who did, who started it, hmm?

<Drunk Commies (Deleted) walks in>
Drunk Commies Deleted: Er, that was me...sorry.

Frisbeetaria: It was you?

DCD: Yes, I didn't mean for it to turn into a flame.

Cogitation: <He walks over to See, Melkor, I told you it wasn't me.

Melkor Unchained: Be that as it may, I think my suspicion was completely warranted.

DCD: Um, mods?

Cogitation: Warranted, on what grounds?

Melkor Unchained: Because you were the last to come out there.

Cogitation: I was taking a breather, that's all.

DCD: Excuse me?

Melkor Unchained: By breather do you mean, plotting?!

Cogitation: You know damn well what I meant, you Randist!

Melkor Unchained: I am an Objectivist, not a Randist!

Cogitation: Same difference, they both involve that old Russian hag.

Melkor Unchained: How dare you insult the very reason for which the sun rises, you illegeitmate child!

DCD: Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuys! God damn it, listen to me!

<The two stop fighting>

Both: What is it?

DCD: Am I punished or..what?

Melkor Unchained: Oh, I nearly forgot about that. <he pulls out a pistol and shoots DCD> There, now don't do it again, do you understand?

DCD: Yes, quite clearly actually. <he holds his chest and falls on his knees in a comedic fashion> Oh, not again. <he dies>

*Meanwhile, at the secret troll headquarters that no one but the trolls knew where it was...*

Troll3: Damn, our troll headquarters sure is awesome and secretive....here in Pittsburgh.

Troll2: *points to Myrth, bound, gagged, and tied up to a chair* We'll give you three chances to tell us where the scroll is, lest we delete you once and for all.

Myrth: Mmph!

Troll3: Tell us, WHERE IS THE SCROLL!?

Myrth: Mmmpble!

Troll4: That's one. Here's two. Where is the scroll?!?!?

Myrth: MMMMMMMMMMMMPT!

Troll2: He is mocking us now. Your final chance. Where. is. the. scroll?

Myrth: Go-mmpble fu-mmpft mmping-olls!

Troll2: Oh dammit, sorry about the whole gagging thing...*takes off gag*

Myrth: For the last fucking time, it's with Sirocco!

Troll2: ....Alright. Trolls. Huddle.

*Trolls 2-5 huddle together and whisper together*

Troll2: Alright. We need to use Myrth to get to Sirocco or we'll never get the legendary scroll of Commando[2] and fufill our destinies.

Troll3: But how ever can we get Myrth to join us?

Troll4: Hmm...what if we promise him fame like never before?

Troll2: Damn Generalites already made a fad out of him in their stupid polls.

Troll3: What about we debate him to death?

Troll2: Are you stupid or something? No one ever wins debates.

Troll3: No no, just watch me.

*Troll3 approaches Myrth*

Troll3: Myrth. In a perfect world, good always triumphs over evil. But we are not in a perfect world, so thus evil should always triumph over good, right?

Myrth: Hot damn I never was good at debating. I'll take your word for it. Hell, I'll even join you guys.

Troll2: ...

Troll4: ...

Troll3: ...Oh...uh...okay then...Now if you'll just sign these papers waiving your right to sue us and our evil organization if your ever deleted we'll be on our way...and these health insurance forms...

Myrth: Lemme sign lemme sign!

*end of flashback*

NS: And so, as you can see, the mods were weakened, Myrth crossed over to the dark side, the trolls had INFALLIBLE health insurance.


EDIT: Bah...feel free to work with it as you will.

Newbie: That must have been a hell of an insurance package.

NS: Oh, it was. It even had a full, comprehensive dental plan. The trolls were receiving high quality insurance while the moderators were receiving emergency-only packages, it was ridiculous! If only Max hadn't of been such a cheap son of a bitch. He held his wallet tighter than he held his di... <Newbie coughs> Sorry about that, I didn't mean to ramble on and on like that. With Myrth on their side, they would soon become an unstoppable power.
<the trolls secreat headquarters>
Troll1: Haha! Finally, after so many years of degredation, we will have our revenge!

Troll2: And perhaps then I will finally be able to get laid.

Troll1: The forum will be one giant orgy of blood, and unrestricted sexual pleasure as well.

Troll3: Well, the two could be the same thign if you're a sadist or masochist.

Troll1 True, but is anyone here either of those?

Troll4: Me.

Troll5: I am.

Troll6: A sadist over here!

Troll7: Has anyone seen my whip?

Troll1 Hm, I didn't know there were that many.

Troll2: You'd be supprised.

Troll1: I am sure I would be. Nothing can stop is now, not a goddamn thign short of the hand of Max himself!

Troll2: And even that wouldn't be much help.

<the room bursts with laughter>

Troll1: Quite right, quite right.
After all these years, we'll finally have our revenge
For all the times those dirty mods made us crenge
Soon we will rise and become unstoppable
Soon our numbers will be insurmountable

Troll2:
No longer will our forum status be so low
Soon we will change the status qoue!
Our reign shall last a thousand years
Held together by ancient fears!

Troll1:
The moderators will soon fear us
Our fellow comrades will chear us
Our flag shall be out on the mod cave
The forum will be transformed into a rave

Nothing can stop us nooow!

Trolls 1-3:
The Generalites will soon surrender
Or their access will we hender
Never again will we be called lunatics
Never again will be at the mercy of those pricks

General will fall under our massive grip
They will soon say to the modserators, RIP
Mercy and compassion will we lack
Once our leader from long ago is back!

Myrth: I don't mean to interrupt your musical interlude, but what exactly do you need me for?

Troll1: Pardon?

Myrth: Why do you require my services?

Troll1: That will be revealed to you in the future.

Myrth: Uh, but I want to know now.

Troll1: Later.

Myrth: Now it's later.

Troll1: Later as in not today.

Myrth: Tell me, don't be a bastard tell me.

Troll1: Alright, alright you see <he hits Myrth in the head with a salted trout and he falls over on the floor.> There, that's better.

<We go back to the mod cave.>

Cogitation: What am I going to do? Everyone hates me, especially Melkor.

Katganistan: Melkor doesn't have a soul, so he doesn't count.

Cogitation: Even if he did, it wouldn't matter. Fris thinks I'm incapable of performing my duties and I've never seen Sirocco so pissed.

Kataganistan: Dont' worry about it.

Cogitation: Don't worry about it? My mod career could effectively be oevr and you're telling me to not worry?

Katganistan: Yes, something like that.

Cogitation: I can't help it, I don't want to lose my job. I love it, as stressful as it may be, I enjoy the posters, like Zooke, Potaria, Israelites et Buddist, Deluze, and Zooke.

Kataganistan: Still, you shouldn't worry so much.

Cogitation: I can't, so that's that.

Katagnistan: Oh, Cog, listen to me: (Now Kat sings Monty Python's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.)
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a whistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...
Always look on the bright side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And... always look on the bright side of life...
whistle
Come on!
other start to join in
Always look on the bright side of life...
whistle
For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow!
So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!
And always look on the bright side of life...
whistle
Always look on the bright side of life
whistle

Cogitation: You're right, Kat, I shouldn't be so down in the dumps.

Katganistan: Now you're getting it, if you're optimistic about life, nothing can keep you down, unless of course you're Native American, then you're constantly being screwed.

Cogitation: From now on, I'm always going to look on thr bright side of life.

Katganistan: That's the spirit!

<the intercome in the mod cave sounds>

Announcer: This message is for Moderator Cogitation.

Cogitation: I wonder why they're calling me.

Katganistan: Maybe you're going to be forgiven.

Cogitation: Is that possible?

Katganistan: Of course it is.

Announcer: Cogitation, your powers will be temperarily suspended and you are to report to the General Forum Parliament to justify your actions to the Grand Jury, that is all. Have a moderately pleasant day.

Kataganistan: Oh, my, well that was, er...

Cogitation: SON OF A BITCH!

A concern on the actual production of this thing.

I don't know all that much about creating flash animations, so correct me if I assume you can do something that is impossible or any other inaccuracies.

I think for the production, we can break it down into three different categories, each needing to be constructed differently:

Original songs

The vocals would need to be recorded first (so I can get a taste of the melody).
The musical score gets created around the vocals.
The vocals get re-recorded over the score (for pitch and timing perfections).
The animation goes last, following the vocals.


Parodies

Music gets recorded.
Vocals added in after.
Animation last, following the vocals


Everything else (dailogue and such)

Dailogue gets recorded.
Animation drawn to follow.
Musical score added to finish it off.


Again, this is just my idea for creating the pieces, if there are any problems or concerns, let me know, but I think this is the best way for me (or anyone else) to synchronize the music and the graphics and have it turn out well. Let me know of any other processess that are be better!

NS: Cogitation had to face the music. He knew his career was essentially over. All of his years of loyal service would mean nothing to him after the trial. He had forced himself to resist flaming fellow players in order to maintain his reputation, he had tried never to be too rash or to lenient. All of that meant nothing. As he waited for the hours to pass until it was time for his trial, the trolls worked tediously on their master plan, soon everything would fall into place, but the timing had to be flawless.

<the Troll's lair>
Commando[2]: Wake him up.

Troll1: <slaps Myrth with a sheepskin pelt> Wake up!

Myrth: I swear she was eighteen!

Troll1: What?

Myrth: <looks around> Oh, nothing. What do you want?

Commando[2]: It is time.

Myrth: Time for what exactly?

Commandop[2]: To fulfill your destiny!

Myrth: Um, I do not mean to sound offensive, but was extremely cliche' and very tasteless.

Commando[2]: Really, you think so?

Myrth: Yeah.

Commando[2]: Alright, let me try this again. It is time to complete the next phase of my master plan!

Myrth: Wow, I haven't heard that a million times!

Commando[2]: Oh, goddamn it... One last time, it is time to co... Oh fuck it, just follow me.

Myrth: Okay. Why didn't you say that in the first place, it could hacve made things move alot more efficiently?

Commando[2]: I don't know, I wanted to be dramatic. This could be the only chance I have to do so, I wanted to make it memorable.

Myrth: No, that's understandable.

Commando[2]: I screwed it up terribly! <He begins to cry> I ruined the whole occasion!

Myrth: No, no, no, no you did very well, I assure you. You simply tried to hard, it wasn't half bad.

Commando[2]: Really?

Myrth: Most certainly, it was a grand introduction.

Commando[2]: Thank you. <He sniffles and wipes the tears from his eyes.> Now, come along, it is time to meet your master!

Myrth: Is this a sex womp?

Commando[2]: No, why?

Myrth: Just checking.

<they walk town a dimly lit corrodor and then they walk into a room>

Myrth: You know, you look awfully familiar?

Commando[2]: Who do I remind you of?

Myrth: Wouldn't it be "Of whom do I remind you?".

Commando[2]: My mistake. Of whom do I remind you?

Myrth: I am not sure, someone from long ago.

Commando[2]: Take a closer look. <he removes the paper bag from his head.>

Myrth: You!

Commando[2]: Yes, it is I...

Myrth: You're Satan!

Commando[2]: No, I'm Commando[2], remember me, the trolling bastard? Although Satan will be joining us soon.

Myrth: I remember you, you're the one with the two inch pe...

Commando[2]: That rumor is not true.

Myrth: But you're perma-banned, how can this be?

Commando[2]: One word, three syllables, Sirocco.

Myrth: Sirocco, what does he have to do with this?

Commando[2]: We managed to hack into his account and wouldn't you know it? While my minions were theere they decided to un-ban me.

Myrth: You bastard!

Commando[2]: Ahahahahahaahaha!

Myrth: What do you need me for?

Commando[2]: They only managed to hack into it for a limited time and in that time they only freed me. We need you to do the rest.

Myrth: I don't quite understand, you're being rather vague. What is the rest?

Commando[2]:The rest is to free out master.

Myrth: That being?

Commando[2]: Lord Alanysum.

Myrth: What!? I don't have that kind of access, you would need some sort of, of...

Commando[2]: Scroll? To be more specific the Scroll of the Troll. <he holds it in his hands>

Myrth: Where did you find that?

Commando[2]: The local flea market, the have such great bargains.

Myrth: I see, and you need me to access it for you?

Commando[2]: Correct.

Myrth: What of Sirocco?

Commando[2]: He will be a host for Lord Alanysum.

Myrth: Ahw, what will happen after that?

Commando[2]: We will take over NationStates and rule the forums!

Myrth: With one possessed moderator?

Commando[2]: We will offer them power in exchange for assistance.

Myrth: They'll never do such a thing!

Commando[2]: You did.

Myrth: Good point, but still that will not be enough to take over the forums, there are thousands upon thousands of posters.

Commando[2]: That's what the trolls are for.

Myrth: Are you referring to those ragtag newbie trolls over there?

Commando[2]: Yes, but we will also have the Great Ones such as Jesussaves and Beeker, Satan and VoteEarly. All will be brought back once Lord Alanysum is here. Even you will be greatly rewarded.

Myrth: I will not help you!

Commando[2]: Then you will lose your dental plan!

Myrth: I will not.

Commando[2]: Not even for revenge.

Myrth: <He stops> What was that?

Commando[2]: Revenge, you could take revenge on all of those who spat on your well, uh, well-known name.

Myrth: I, I can't, it is not right.

Commando[2]: Don't be a little bitch about it, you're going to do it either way so take the one with the reward.

Myrth: You can't make me!

Commando[2]: Then you will be tied to a chair and forced to watch reruns of Welcome Back Cotter and the Brady Bunch.

Myrth: You sadistic..uh, you're sadistic!

Commando[2]: Does that mean you will do it?

Myrth: Of course it does!

Commando[2]: <he holds out his hand> Good.

Myrth: <Myrth shakes his hand and then Commando[2] two cuts it> Ow, what the fuck was that for? That really hurt!

Commando[2]: The blood of a moderator, current or retired, is needed.

Myrth: You could have given me a warning before you gave me a Turkish Hello!

Commando[2]: It was a tiny prick.

Myrth: You're a prick.

Commando[2]: Well, I'm sorry. May we continue?

Myrth: Alright, but don't do that again, or it's my foot up your arse.

Commando[2]: Do you remember the code?

Myrth: Yes.

Commando[2]: Good, now here. <He hands Myrth the scroll>

Myrth: Zebrakalai, l33t, l33t. Powers of the scroll, reveal yourself! <he reads a page> What the hell? It says you don't need blood!

Commando[2]: My mistake.

Myrth: You bugger, you knifed me for nothing!

Commando[2]: Goddamn it, may we please forget about that finish the fucking ritual!

Myrth: Fine! Oozwaba, give me the account of Sirocco! Give me his powers for all the hours, grant me his keys to the realm of DEATion, give the power I seek. <nothing happens> Damn it, give the powers now or I'll smsh into a million fucking pieces! <it gives him the power>

Scroll: That was rather rude, I demand an apology.

Myrth: I'm sorry, but to be fair you were being uncooperative.

Scroll: Uncooperative, how dare .... <Myrth rolls up the scroll.>

Myrth: Now let's get to the possession.

Commando[2]: Bring in Sirocco!

Sirocco: Get off of me, let me go or I'm telling!

Commando[2]: Quiet down, shhh.

Sirocco: Myrth, help me, you have to help me, brother!

Myrth: Here. <he extends his hand>

Sirocco: hank you, aahhahaha!!!<there's a glowing light, like in that movie Poltergeist.> Ahhaahaha! <Sirocco's essecnce is in Myrth's palm.>

Myrth: Do you have a container of some sort?

Commando[2]: Um, here's one. <he picks up a ZipLock container> It has a bit of dry food in it.

Myrth: That's alright, give to me. <Myrth takes the container and places Sirocco's essence in it> Now, bring back the soul of Alanysum, enter this body and take hold of its faculties! <There is another flashy light thing and Alanysum enters Sirocco'sbody.>

Alanysum: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! God damn it feels good to be back!

Commando[2]: Mein Fuehrer, you are returned! What have you been doing this entire time?

Alanysum: Plotting mostly.

Commando[2]: Have you been practicing your trolling?

Alanysum: Aye, but sadly, not to the same degree that I used to. I mostly just, trolled in the dark.

Commando[2]: What?

Alanysum:

Stay on the bad side of the Mods and they’ll be deleting you on sight
They say you got to stay away cause you got IP banned last night
I’m dying for some action I’m sick of sitting ’round here trying to write
This thread
I need a bad reaction come on now baby just tell me you want me dead

You can’t start a flame war, you can’t start a flame war without a spark
That's what I'm here for, even if I'm just Trolling in the dark

Myrth: Brittany, but that's a girl's name?

Myrth: Wow, you must have had to tolerate such terrible taunts.

Alanysum: Oh, yes the children at school calle me Girly-man.

Myrth: Was this was when you were in high school?

Alanysum: No, that was three days ago at the reunion.

Myrth: Ahw.

Alanysum: Yeah...you know, now that I think about it, I prefer mein Fuehrer.

Myrth: Good choice.

Commando[2]: May we begin to bring back the others, master?

Alanysum: Not all of them, only a few today, otherwise there won't be time to watch the movie I rented for us.

Commando[2]: Oh, what movie did you rent?

Alanysum: Mona Lisa Smile.

Myrth: ..are you sure they called you girly-man because of your name?

Alanysum: Bugger off...

Myrth: Alright, no need to get your panties in a bunch.

Alanysum: I was not being like that, I was simply answering a question.

Myrth: Sure you were..Brittany.

Alanysum: That's it, get out, I want no more to do with you!

Myrth: Oh, come on. Let me stay.

Alanysum: No, out!

Myrth: Please?

Alanysum: No!

Myrth: I'll take you shopping later.

Alanysum: May I buy those new pumps I've been wanting?

Myrth: But of course, I wouldn't dream of denying you.

Alanysum: Then you may stay.

Commando[2]: Matser, who shall we resurrect?

Alanysum: Beeker, he was second only to me.

Commando[2]: yes, sir. I will bring his ashes to you.

Alanysum: <he pours the ashes on the floor> One of us, one us us. Gooble gobble, gooble gobble. One of us, one of us. Gooble gobble, gooble gobble. AHHHHHHHHH! < light shoots from his palm and hits the ashes. Then the Beeker arises from them, like a phoenix or something.>

Beeker: I am returned!

Alanysum: Welcome back, Beeker.

Alrightie. After this I won't be able to add anymore to the script for the next couple of days. :( Though I will be reading this thread from my PSP, I cannot type.

NS: Now, as you can see, things were getting dreadfully complicated. Sirocco was possesed by Alanysum and all the old trolls were resurrected under one leader. The trolls were organizing and regrouping and were proving to be quite the force to reckon with.

Newbie: So when does the hero come in?

NS: Ahh, perfect timing. Yes, this is when the hero comes in....August of 2005 was his join date...

*another flashback*

Rivera: *checks map* Is THIS the so-called paradise that is NS General?

*NS General, with tables turned over and beer all over the floor appears. And random Generalites bickering about*

Isrealites: Where is Myrth?

Foxxinnia: Yes, where the hell is he? Has be been abducted by a greater conspiracy?

Kat: *gets on loudspeaker and points in toward Foxx* Attention Generalites! There is no conspiracy! That is all.

Foxx: *ears bleeding* Oh God, woman! My ears! They burn!

Kat: Well we're in war time, so that's considered a warning.

Fris: *shines his double-barrel shotgun, eyeing Czardas* Don't you dare spam, boy...

Czardas: *glares at Fris* I'll damn well spam whereever I want to, ya damn mods! *throws up*

Colodia: *picks up Czardas* Dammit man, your drunk!

Czardas: I'm soooo not drunk! *wobbles* And a big SIEG HEIL to President Bush! Whatta guy.......*slurs rest of his words*

Colodia: We need a hero....

Isrealites: But whom?

Rivera: Excuse me, but is this NS General?

Colodia: Yer lookin' at it, kid.

Rivera: And aren't you Colodia, 15? I'm your 5 years your senior!

Colodia: And yet I'm still considered to be older than you so long as I have a bigger post count...life's funny that way, isn't it?

Rivera: No...no it's not. What happened here?

Colodia: Well, we're not exactly sure. But the mods are looking quite troubled and are waiting for Sirocco, the admin, to come back and tell them what to do.

Rivera: Sirocco?

Colodia: Yes, *points to a picture of Sirocco in a crown and laughing manically over a mountin of gold* That guy. He's our hero.

Rivera: ....Reminds me of how the North Koreans love their leader...yuck...

Colodia: Hmm?

Rivera: Never mind. And why is everyone in an uproar?

Czardas: I can answer that! *sobs uncontrollably* WE'RE NOT HAVING CAKE DAY!

Colodia: Yes, they've taken away cake day because of inappropriateness to their current situation and now we're here, drunk on debating, and cake-less.

Fairy: *smashes bottle* Dammit NS! I want my Virgin Mary with alcohol in it!

NS: But that won't make it a virgin!

Fairy: *drunken* Oh you'd like it to not be a virgin, WOULDN'T YOU? *passes out*

Rivera: Sounds bad.

Colodia: Quite kinky indeed. Look. There's an underground movement dedicated to working around the mods and finding out what's going on ourselves. It's at Isrealites' mother's house at 1 a.m....no one's on General at that time...be there if you want to know the truth....

*end of flashback*

NS: And with that Colodia, by the way, I don't know WHY I'm saying this suddenly but God damn, that's one SWELL kid! And with that, Colodia recruited our hero into the underground movement dedicated to finding out what's wrong and what they can do about it without the help of the mods.




Author's note: (Don't add THIS part to the main story plz.) I forgot how the story goes from NK's last post so I thought we'd finally introduce our hero, Rivera (it's a common last name, I thought it sounded unique enough yet bland enough to not have any political affiliation). I thought we'd show the mods as a crumbling power and a rise of an underground movement of Generalite spammers and jokers. The movement can help jump-start the hero on his way to fight the bad guys and pop in later on for comic relief.

lol, hmm, it's very interesting, Colodia! I like it!

Anyway, I've got an audio sample of the first part for the Trolling Rhapsody up and hopefully running, though the website creator host is being really dumb (I can't edit the index page even after I delete it and make an entirely new one) and I don't feel like getting frustrated over it right now. For some reason, I can't get it to play in WMP, though it works fine in iTunes, Musicmatch and various other audio editing programs I have. Your best bet if would be just to download it and select a program to open it with. Anyway, it's mainly a sample, and if this site continues to be retarded, I'll consider hosting my audio somewhere else. LGD, if you want to try the vocals for this, go for it! I'll probably post this on the NS musical forum PM created also.

Eutrusca, did you think that fight between you and Fass was too much?

Beeker: It feels moderately well to be back.

Alanysum: I need my number two troll to help me.

Beeker: Help you, with what?

Alanysum: Domination of the forums.

Beeker: Quite ambitious, but how?

Alanysum: We are in possession of the scroll.

Beeker: Ahaha! Good, good.

Alanysum: We have taken Sirocco, soon the others will follow suit.

Beeker: I can''t wait for the time to come when Generalites with bow down to us and kiss our asses! And..<he sees Myrth> Ahaa! What the fuck he is doing here, a moderator are you crazy?!

Alanysum: One, he is no longer a moderator. He retired several months ago for various reasons. Second of all, he is has agreed to help us.

Beeker: How can he be trusted?

Alanysum: He brought me back.

Beeker: Then a friend of your's is a friend of mine.

Myrth: Thank you.

Beeker: Why do you want to help us? You already have the forums in your pockets.

Myrth: It's a long story, so I'll give you the abridged version.

Beeker: Alright.

Myrth:
I was once the king, the king of old NationStates
I would be in every poll, nobody for me had hate
I always had the biggest threads
The crown of General was on my head
The posters in General I graefully led
I never was the pits in any way!

Trolls:
We believe you, others wouldn't
We believe you, ev'ry word
We believe you, others couldn't
We believe each word we've heard

Myrth: I used to be a mod..

Trolls: A mod?

Myrth: The mod of old General
My praises they would post
A kind and gracious host
My threads were always filled with class
The posters would rush at me en mass
Every girl near me would make a pass
You couldn't call me crass in any way!

Trolls:
We believe you, others wouldn't
We believe you, ev'ry word
We believe you, others couldn't
We believe each word we've heard

Myrth:
When I was oft admired
But not hounded
There was a time
When I wasn't very old
There was a time
When each and every thread I touched
Would turn to gold

Trolls:
There was a time
He had the finest posts
His style was always new

Myrth:
Now I am scavenge around
And my posts are far and few!

Trolls:
Poor Myrth, what a shmoozer
Poor Myrth, what a shame
Poor Myrth, what a loser
Poor Myrth, goodbye fame

Myrth:
I used to be the mod
The mod of the forums
Again I will be the mod
And I will rule for them
Used to be the mod
The mod of the forums

On top to stay, hey!

Myrth:
You'll see my name in lights again
I'll go from dark to brights again
My spirits high as kites again
I'll never suffer slights again
I'll taste those sweet delights again
No plethora of plights again
No blossoming of blights again
No frantic fits or frights again
Fame is in my sights again
I'll take those fancy flights again
I'm gonna scale the heights again
Myrth will never drop
Myrth will never stop...
Myrth will be on top again

Trolls:
Fame is in his sights again
He'll take those fancy flights again
He's gonna scale the heights again

All:
He'll/I'll be on top again, hey!

"Katganistan does not Role-play. It does, however, Moderate." --Katganistan's World Factbook Entry

Of course, the musical may not be considered RPing, and I think Kat might like to participate. I think Cog wouldn't mind being involved; I don't know about Fris. Myrth is definitely still playing -- his pretitle changes about twice a day -- but I don't know if he answers telegrams. Melkor is a more "serious" mod who might be amused by the musical, but not interested in participating. As for the other mods: Unfree has been on vacation for a few months; Tsaraine is also more of a RPer who rarely posts (I'm not actually all too sure what he does); TJHairball-- ask someone else about him; GMC Military Arms maybe; Menelmacar, ask her; Reploid Productions, almost certainly (from what I know of her posts); Karmabaijan doubtful; Scolopendra maybe; Hack maybe; Fris I don't know; Euro and Sirocco have already posted.

Cogitation and Myrth are the two we need most now that we have Euroslavia and Sirocco. So it seems from the script.

I kind of made Melkor out to be, how do say?, an ass. He's out.
Frisbeetaria, possibly, but I don't know him beyond the mod forum.
Katganistan, that's a possibility.
Send them TGs. Actually, send them all TGs, even the mods no-one's ever heard of. Ask them if they'll consent to appear in the musical, and whether as good, evil, etc. etc. The ones that say no, you take out.

Ha Ha very funny still, sweet with the mods joining in. Although in Colodia's section I am 21 and my parents are dead, therefore going to my momma's house is out of the question, but I am sure my yacht, cottage, or one of my apartments would do just fine. I am dead serious about that. Well I am good at plotting so I can see why Colodia used me. Oh thanks for the name fix NK. Sound bite sounds good, but there are some minour "glitches" audible.

NS: Alansyism had resurrected some of the worst trolls and flamers ever to post on the forums. Sirocco could do nothing to stop them, after all his essence was locked in a Ziplock container.Myrth had sold his soul for revenge and Cogitation would soon face the court. There were still some matters of business that had to be attended to, corrupting the other moderators. Without them, he could not rule sufficiently. The first moderator he approached was Frisbeeteria. <end voice-over>

Frisbeeteria: <He is in a bathroom stall and only his feet, which are gently swaying back and forth, are visible.>
If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise
If you go down to the woods today
You better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Every teddy bear whose been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of marvelous things to eat
And wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
'Cause that's the way the teddy bears have their picnic

<Alansyism enters the room and joins in>
Frisbeeteria and Alansyism:
Picnic time for teddy bears
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today
Watch them, catch them unawares
And see them picnic on their holiday
See them gaily gad about
They love, to play and shout, they never have any cares
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little teddy bears

If you go down in the woods today
You better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today
But safer to stay at home
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there together because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic

Frisbeeteria: Very good!

Alansyism: Thank you.

Frisbeeteria: If you don't mind me asking, who are you?

Alansyism: Someone from the past.

Frisbeeteria: Oh, no! I swear I didn't know he wasn't dead! When I checked I didn't feel a pulse, I didn't mean to bury him alive! Oh, God, no!! <He begins to weep and shout.>

Alansyism: That's very, er, fascinating in all, but I don't know what you're talking about.

Frisbeeteria: You don't?

Alansyism: Not a word of it.

Frisbeeteria: Well, it's probably best that it stays that way.
Alansyism: Yeah...

Frisbeeteria: So, then who are you?

Alansyism: Alansyism.

Frisbeeteria: Who?

Alansyism: Alansyism.

Frisbeeteria: I vaguely remember you, you're that troll, Brittany I believe!

Alansyism: Yes, it is I!

Frisbeeteria: How!!?!

Alansyism: Take a look at my face.

Frisbeeteria: That's going to be difficult, seeing as I'm on the shitter and all that.

Alansyism: Oh, yes, well I'll wait then.

<there is a short silence>

Alansyism: Gastly weather we've been having lately.

Frisbeeteria: Terrible indeed.

Alansyism: It's been raining every day, not a ray of sunshine.

Frisbeeteria: I can't even wash my car, it would just be dirty again once I drive it down the rainy streets.

Alansyism: I wouldn't know. I take the bus.

Frisbeeteria: I would, but I simply love to drive. I also can't stand the buses, their always so filthy.

Alansyism: Not all of them, but a great deal are.

Frisbeeteria: True, um could you hand me some paper, I'm a bit short over it?

Alansyism: Oh, here. <he hands him some from an empty stall>

Frisbeeteria: Thank you.

Alansyism: You're welcome. <There is another pause and Alansyism looks at his watch.>

How are we planning to end the whole thing? Does Cog make a triumphant return, leading a small squad of mods to bravely rescue Sirocco's essence and administer DEATs to all of the trolls? Or does Sirocco (in Alansyism's guise) give mod powers to people who then betray him and send him and his co-conspirators to the Awful Long-bladed Sharp-pointed Keen-edged Harrowed Sword of DOOM?

Myrth returns to the side of the Generalites and kills Alansyism. Cog then helps, with the information Myrth gives him, to storm the troll fortress. It ends in a battle with the mods who betrayed the others being banished to the Spam Forum. Sirocco is also revived.

Sung to the tune of 'You Gotta Fight for Your Right to Party' by the Beastie Boys.

I dared to post in a thread made of inside jokes (sound of long scrolling, ad lib)
Because I thought my impressions belonged there, folks.
Then I found out that the concept was not about the game.
What's a newbie to do, hang their head in shame?

CHORUS:
We've got a right... here to write... as new---www--bies. (2X)

And so you'll hand me a costume that does not fit
Instead of giving me encouragement and toasting my wit.
Is this how you dress people you stereotype as new?
I thought that sailor suits in keeping with our innocence would do.

CHORUS.

You never know who is posting, since you can't see...
The persons you are dissing just may have a Ph.D
Or they may hold down a job that pays a hundred K.....
So perhaps we'll pack our craniums and just go away....

CHORUS.

Newwww......bies!

Czardas, can you record music? Because, if so, I could send you the scores for my songs - I can't get my computer set up right to record (for I am weak).
Do you have music or something for it all written? And what instruments are in your scores?
Gruenberg
14-08-2005, 00:25
Yeah, I have scores for my songs (although '98%' isn't being used, and the score for that was pretty much 'take one guitar, and one sledgehammer').

For the newbie one, I just the vocal lines, but I can always write in anything else - if we were to use instrumentation here, I wouldn't want it to be heavy, and I think some tacky synth would be better than lush orchestral. For the Cog song, I have a main piano part, and then some more tenuous ideas for guitar, bass and drums, as well as the vocal line. As such, these songs aren't actually using that many instruments - it'll be others that are more on that, I'd imagine.

Alright, cuz if you can't record, but have the music and everything written down, I can whip up a nice musical score in an hour or so. I can do pretty much anything except vocals and the drums don't sound that beautiful, but if you've heard my audio sample I posted last night (this morning depending on where you are) you know pretty much what I can do.

It's also unaccompanied - will that be ok? Tempo is, I'd like, 200+ - I was going at 220 and it seemed ok, but they'll have to really skip over 'What's this'.

Alansyism: Yes, but do they respect you?

Frisbeeteria:Of course they, well uh...

Alansyism:
For you no one has a care
I see no respect for you anywhere
They take advantage of your kindness
And make you clean up their mess
Is that the kind of life you want?

They treat you like a newbie
Is that how it should be?
You're their whipping boy
You're their little toy
You're absolutely nothing to them!

You have to do all the work
And yet they treat you jerk
You dwell where the n00bs lurk
They spit on you all the time
Such disrespect should be a crime

Is that the kind of life you want?

Frisbeeteria: No, it isn't!
They laugh at me when I'm down
To them I'm nothing but a clown
They smile at me when I'm their butler
But then when I warn I'm their Hitler

I command no authority
That isn't the way it should be
They will pay for laughing at me
I will DEAT them over night
Deliver to them a terrible fright


Alansyism:
Join me and you will be revered
Respected, powerful, and feared
They will all fall on their knees
I can give yu the keys
TO...
Power, respect, and more
Is that the kind of life you want?

Frisbeeteria: Yes!

NK: nice. Keep churning this stuff out!

LGD: Yeah, I know it's high. I originally intended the newbs to be children, you see, so it would make more sense. But, given that at the moment not many people are offering to sing other than you, I'll happily transpose it down. What sort of range would you be more comfortable in...1 octave down? 2?

Hmm for your chorus, your keeping the same note 3 than 1. It might be easier and more graceful on the ear if raise in steps than drop in steps. I also think thats the natural way I heard it, so dont mind me. I will sing too, but my vioce is deep and mic sucky along with no way of hosting it. So its up to you, I may be better at that than writing.

Oh, I can do it, I was just was about to say it'd be high for most others. It's been a while since I've actually had to read and perform from music, so I'm a bit worried that I'll be singing a note above or below what's written. I figure I'll make my sister play piano keys for me, so I can tune and get an idea. lol

I've got a very good range...the choir I was in, I was once required to sing with the first sopranos, as a Tenor 1/2 and often with basses/baritones. As I said, once I find a music recording program, I can make sample clips to show my range and abilities for you all to guage and decide what you want me to do, if anything.

Ok, that sounds cool. I've been searching around for bloody ages, and I still haven't found anything half-decent in terms of what you're looking for, but I'll let you know if I find something. Are you sure you didn't get anything, even very basic, with your PC to begin with - it's often included. Anyway, I'll keep searching - we need those angelic tones! And, do you want an accompaniment part written in, like on the piano or something? Or are you fine just singing it a cappella?

lol, I'll check my computer, but I'm honestly not sure. It's a new one, and I still haven't played with all the progs. I'm fine with either, actually, but by now, I'm more used to a capella, since friends will ask me to sing something for them, and I'll play a song on my headset, and sing along, or by memory.

So I feel like a dumbass. Turns out the comp does have a program..very, very basic, but it's what I need. Now, to turn up the mic volume.

LOL..it's really, really weird hearing myself sing...o.O I sound nervous (Which I was), and quiet. Also, the program that came with the comp only allows for 1 minute of recording. o.O So, I'd have to record in segments, and splice 'em together (or some else, since I've no idea how), which would be annoying.

what you do is you hit the record button again once it stops and make sure the bar telling the time is at the end, best to do it with the mic not on, so it is blank background. It goes to another minute each time
I did the same, but I am afriad I cant keep up with the beat.

And, seriously, go at whatever tempo. I was just setting it, well, 'presto', because it's much easier for me. I couldn't even speak it at that pace, so don't worry if you can't sing it that quick. It sounded fine at 180 when I tried it at that.

Yeah I know. I really wish I had my other laptop right now. I cant increase my speed on this prog, with out sounding like a chipmunk. I can keep up in my deep vioce but somewhat High one lags.

lol, first I have to see if I can get a decent clip. I know that I sound great, in real life, but between the microphone, the nervousness (due to letting others hear how I am..singing is very, very personal for me), and perhaps even the program, I've some reservations. If anyone has tips, lemme know.

Also, what can I use to upload a file? I'm almost tempted to sing Numa Numa. Hehe.

Alansyism: <He extends his hand> Eh, better wash your's first.

Frisbeeteria: <He does so and extends hsi hand> Here.

Alansyism: <They shake hands> Welcome, mwhuahahaha<coughs> oy, I should really quit smoking. We mus leave at once...

Frisbeeteria: I can't.

Alansyism: Why not?

Frisbeeteria: A moderator, Cogitation, is on trial today.

Alansyism: On trial? Well, he must be found innocent, or else he cannot help us.

Frisbeeteria: He wouldn't.

Alansyism: Why do you say that?

Frisbeeteria: He's a goody-goody. He wouldn't even kick a puppy if it urinated on him.

Alansyism: Then he must be found guilty. What will his sentence be?

Frisbeeteria: He will be banished to the Spam Forum.

Alansyism: For how long?

Frisbeeteria: Indefinitely.

Alansyism: Good.

Frisbeeteria: That is if the jury swings our way.

Alansyism: They will, I gurantee it.

<They both laugh wickedly>

MEANWHILE, back in the mod cave...

Cogitation: I'm screwed.

Katganistan: No, you're not.

Cogitation: I'm more screwed than a Beijing hooker on a Sunday.

Katganistan: What's the worse that could happen?

<skip to the trial>

Frisbeeteria: As Chief Justice of this Court, I hearby find you guilty of an unjustified DEAT and perma-ban you from the NationStates forums. Your mod powers will be stripped from you, your nation DEATed, and you are banished to the Jolt Spam Forum for an indefinite period of time. Do you have a statement you would like to read to the court?

Cogitation: *mumbles something*

<the Court gasps>

Frisbeeteria: For that explative, I also find you guilty of contempt and you are fined $1,000.

Cogitation: But I didn't say anything?

Frisbeeteria: Another thousand.

Cogitation: That's not fair I...

Frisbeeteria: Yet another thousand.

Cogitation: I did't say a word, you're being irrational about this!

Frisbeeteria: Officer, take him away, now!

<they carry him out>

Cogitation: I'm innocent, you can't do this! You can't!

Drunk Commies Deleted: You had it coming you brute, you deserved it, you..<lightning hits him and he his DEATed once again.> Now this is getting ridiculous... <he falls on the ground>

Alright since it takes me two ages to write a script I will write a script piece to the near end. I will take the resistance meeting because it will involve hopefully a number of people it may take awhile, and I also seem to be one of the leaders. But I have one good question, Is thte resistance to help Al. or to help the mods? cause that destinction was never made and with the scene original created, it could be loosely translated, or maybe we can throw in a twist. Let me know. I will be on a bit a tomorrow than at latest back on Tuesday. Oh yeah same with the vocals, how should we get them to you, I only did the part of the chorus written since I didnt want to waste my time. So get back to me aye.

I'm sorry, but Cog doesnt actually swear. Not once have I known the man to swear. Now, if you want to make it more comical, perhaps using lesser "curses" such as "dagnabit" or "dang it" etc. that'd be more fitting...

I posted this in the production forum, but I'll post it here also! :eek:

I finished a ~40 sec sample of an idea for a musical score or theme song played in a possible intro or something. As of now, my download limits have been exceeded thus you get the 404 error. Just try again sometime later.

Here're the links:

Let me know what you think (once it's up and running again, and hopefully the pages should all be right) and I may add more if people think it's usable.
