I am the Google King!

[Soul Reaver]

Allow me to present the following screenshot from today:



That's right - a common english phrase, with over 4 500 000 results, and mine is one of the very first results on the page.

It's even before the definition of the phrase.  Yay!

Perhaps you are the google king, but you shall never be able to own... Youtube!

Since your campaign's THIS large, doesn't it warrant a wikipedia page to itself? Not only does it help spread your campaign around, it just shows your dominance over Google!

How about it?

[Kitharsis]

Yeah, wikipedia needs to be aware of the greatness.  Not some knot or knightclub.

But that is pretty spiffy, nice!

I'm not really sure about starting my own wiki page about it.  I don't have a wikipedia account and no real knowledge of how to write a 'proper' article for it.  I have no hard data on exactly how popular TTBE is (and that's probably important in order to justify the existence of a wiki page for it - DotA is just about the only one that has its own entry), and lastly I'd feel kind of like I was tooting my own horn too much.  Plus the campaign's not finished yet.

If a page already existed I'd certainly edit/add content to it, but as it stands I'm not really certain if I should create one.

I think we should set up a wiki for the Administorum in general, like the 40k wiki

http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Warhammer_40k_Wiki

And then we can fill it with the information about the Administorum that we can use for reference when needed, as well as To the Bitter End.

When/if they come out... Starcraft II custom campaigns. To the Bitter End's current reputation would probably carry on very well over to Starcraft II and it would appeal to a larger crowd at that point in time as well! 

Also, if advertised on the correct sites, we could offer sexual favors per 100 posts.

A wiki for the Administorum could be a possibility in the future, as long as someone other then just me helps build it. Don't really have time for projects now, though.

I think I'd rather set myself on fire than try to convert all of TTBE to work with Starcraft II.  While I've heard the editor is awesome, I don't see how it's even remotely possible to convert TTBE without basically having to make the whole thing from scratch again (and re-learn a phenomenal amount of stuff).  It'd take 2 or 3 years at least.

I personally was hoping to pursue some other projects after I finish TTBE, not keep making it forever.

I think I will be able to help you, if I will find time.

Oh no, converting it entirely would be lame.  I did of course mean a new story entirely, seeing as how remaking an entire campaign on your own is tedious enough as it is.  However, if a new campaign was made (still would be another daunting task though) one could utilize the publicity of TTBE for links and whatnot.

A wiki would be interesting, since it might help me to do some research as well.

[john greymore]

You know, if this were carried out, that Blizzard would be the one reaping up all the benefits with all the cash they'll earn?

"Hey, TTBE on warcraft 3. Wow."
*Announcement that another adventure will be on starcraft 2*
"I must get starcraft 2!!!!"

And if reversed, they'll get warcraft 3...

...We should make our own game engine. Ehehehehe

That might actually be possible if we're still around by the time I graduate from both high school and college, since my career of choice will be programming. But I'd need the help of others.

id be willing to help with that, issue with trying to list info on stuff is since everyone (at least in regards to like the Epic BB) is from different worlds/planes/timelines/etc. heck, when it was being discussed on a possible name change and someone suggested The Multiverse that would pretty much highlight the problem here....multiple universe's...multiple people creating their own stories in said universes.  Like i said though, if someone can maybe give some good examples on how we could try to handle it I would be willing to try and devote some time to creating or at least helping out with a wiki.

I did mention that I was planning on moving onto some other projects after finishing TTBE....

Well, the whole point of a wiki is that a whole bunch of people can edit it.  I could write up stuff about the Mortal Plane, and Soul Reaver, and Inferno, and the Warp etc, while Clutch could write the bits about the Board Battles version of the Warhammer 40k Universe, etc etc.  Non-experts can write about these topics too, and the experts can fix it up should they choose to.

Since the board battles are a collaborative effort, a collaborative wiki would be the best way for it to be accurate.

Sorry, what?!!? Did you say something? it's a bit loud here!... You're going to make another TTBE? Great!!!

Ahaha, with the great new game engine we can recreate every single BB the forums have ever had!!!

So, will we be sticking the biography of all Epic BB characters? I mean, those that have joined and left and those currently still here?

My projects are various RPG/game type things that I wanted to work on.  They started off as pen and paper RPGs, strategy games, and gamebooks, but  I was going to use one as a basis to try and teach myself some programming and see if I can work on making a prototype game or two.  They're usually set in Dynaria in the Mortal Plane, but don't directly involve the events of the epic BB.

And yes, if we have a wiki we can stick in as many of the past characters (NPCs and PCs) as we want to.  That's the joy of a wiki - make a new page when you feel like writing something, edit something if you feel like editing/adding/correcting etc.  It's an eternal work-in-progress, but can get huge and extensive if some people work on it for a while.

I should know, we use one to record our procedures at work, and it's grown massive and incredibly useful.
