Hey, if you think you can write a better script, do it.

It took me less than 5 minutes to write that one. I wasn't really trying...

 

He said he wanted a "water cooler" type of conversation.. so i did an average conversation between 2 people at work....

 

write a better one or shut the fuck up.

 

As I previously said... Why don't you just visit quotes.subspaceonline.com and actually get things that have been voted by the subspace community as funny, then bind them together?

 

So, that would generally mean that you would improvise on quotes that already exist, and link them together. I understand that you're not the brightest crayon in the pack, so I'll help you out here...

 

gilbert> Hey, how was the holiday? You must have felt rough on the way there after Friday night...

1:spirit> i packed for my trip while i was drunk

1:spirit> gotta do it again

1:spirit> opened my suitcase

1:spirit> got 19 pairs of sock 3 jackets and a fucking umbrella

1:vys> LOLOl

gilbert> lol

7:RedWaller> dude im scared

7:RedWaller> this ni**er is w8ing for the bus in front of my house

7:Shock> so

7:Shock> if hes waiting for the bus hes not a ni**er

7:Shock> hes just black

7:Shock> if he's stealing the bus, hes a ni**er

6:anusface> SHOCK, MAKE LIKE A TREE

6:anusface> AND GTFO

larrythefakehamster> i don't see why we're so hostile towards black people on continuum...

larrythehamster> Tbh

larrythehamster> ethiopians should play continuum

larrythehamster> There internet supply would be generated by there kids running in wheels

larrythehamster> so it'd be crap

larrythehamster> so they'd lag

larrythehamster> so they'd eat

larrythehamster> World hunger = cured

3:D1st0rt> wow, cerium hasn't been on in almost a day

3:D1st0rt> thats not like him

3:D1st0rt> hes on 24/7

3:Muskrat_24> yeah i hope hes ok

3:Muskrat_24> if that hits 24 hours im calling the cops

//maybe it wasn't because Mac is better than Windoze nevermind.

muskrat> thank god

cer> ??

Cerium> wish I had my car up here

Cerium> I'd go get some food

Arry> where's your car?

Cerium> at my parents in storage

Cerium> either that or I need to get a girlfriend who knows how to cook

Arry> do you have a girlfriend that can't cook?

Cerium> dude... I play subspace. I'm single.

Rivel> So Cer, what do you prefer between Twilight and Harry Potter

Cerium> suicide

Cerium> that's a trick question

Cerium> it's like asking "Do you like being gay or do you like being a fag?"

 

That took me 2 minutes, involves REAL players and isn't fucking gay. Oh, and it actually happened. The parts in bold didn't actually happen, which shows just how much of this is actually real.

Sigh... don't make us close this topic and/or delete half the posts. You can give criticism without sounding like an asshole.

[»Lynx]

And root isn't going to jump off a building if I'm being a condescending asshole. This is the internet, furthermore it's a video game. This isn't a development, political or religious form - it's simply General Discussion, and going by 98% of the topics in Gen. Discussion, it's just trash talk. Setting invisible rules conditioning how you talk to people you'll never meet or who have no impact on your life whatsoever is completely nonsensical.

[rootbear75]

that script wont work for the fact you need a bunch of voice actors, or a few REALLY GOOD voice actors (who can change their voice on a whim)

 

Since it's hard enough to get 4 people for the original script, how do you think we will get 10 people for that proposed script (or 4-5 really good people)

You could easily improvise and change that script so it involves just 4 or possibly 5 voice actors. I think the main reason you're not finding voice actors is because the script simply isn't intriguing enough. Write funny shit, or allow actors to say what they like and maybe just get a snippet of conversations even if they only provide 30 second luls, even out of context stuff, you'll be better off at the end.

[rootbear75]

anyways, like i said, i was surprised he used it in the first place... i really didn't expect him to use it.

[»Purge]

I'd do voices for 'spirit'. I sound pretty hot, by the way.

 

Should get Audry to do anusface.

Heh, speaking of scripts, this just reminded me of Happyman & Mara_Jade's Devastation Storyline. http://www.devazone.net/zone.php (scroll to bottom)

[General Shadow]

I would like to contribute, but I dont have a great voice for acting, and i suck at script writing. But maybe i could lookover the script or something?

[»jabjabjab]

If you have not noticed, any contributors of the smallest degree is all excepted. Understand that if anything you want to play with go right ahead. Enjoy; have fun. Please if you really want to, don't be afraid to step forward. I will have to be critical about voice acting because that's a critical spot. I just need good gamer/pilot voices.

How come my script hasn't been accepted?

[»jabjabjab]

It's not one, it's a recording of text. I like creating.

[Sketter]

If you are going to lead this project I suggest taking more of a role in what you want and expect.

 

There is no direction that I can see to even base a script off. What do you want the series (if there is going to be one) to be about? Is there a war? Is there peace? Is there exploration? Is there a crisis?

 

Either provide the basic structure or get some to, then build from that.

Then at that point, you might get some people to help provide ideas and a story, that the rest could fall in place.

[»jabjabjab]

I wanted casual knock-off of a galactic war between all the ships... like red vs. blue vs. green blah blah blah all ships own team.

 

I wanted to have this done to take the seriousness out of a galactic war and turn it into our personality of how subspace is played.

 

I really want a direction, but a foundation cant be built on-top of one person's imagination. This will be built out of not one person's experience, but all of our experienced blended into a showcase to show the public how we make war fun.

 

Please tell me, where you think i should go. I want to provide the extra push.. in fact, I want to be the driver too, but it's lonely in this mini-van on the road trip to advertising success

[Chambahs]

Use microsoft sam.

[rootbear75]

jabjabjab, my voice is a sample of what i did.. i mean, i didnt know what you wanted, so i gave you something random. I can do a little more umph to my recording if and when the time comes.

[General Shadow]

Attached is my voice saying ,"Hi Bob."

 

;}

[»jabjabjab]

Rootbear if you can get your voice to my targeted needs, feel free to send me another recording. Oh and when you add me on msn and want to send a recording I wont msg you but accept you.

[Aileron]

Look, I'd hate to undermine RootBear, but I can write a much better script myself. The problem is I have real life responsibilities, so I can't crank these things out often. Still, I probably can do it faster than it can be animated and voiced over, so I guess count me in for now.

[»jabjabjab]

Well I am basically stalled until all the sound is done.

[Aileron]

Alright, here's a better script that Rootbear's five minute one. I would need four main roles as well as guest roles if we do a lot of episodes. Sorry, I probably don't have time to do the voices myself. I put a script for each role to show what would be required of the actor. I figure that its easier to know how to do this with a character with a little depth than trying to do a role as vague as a pilot named 'Bob'. If you want to voice act, take a line from the script, apply emotion and send it to jabjab.

 

That is ofcourse assuming you guys prefer my script over Rootbears...

 

 

Background:

 

The story takes place in a cold war. The United Human Forces and the Turvas, an alien race, recently had made an alliance to annihilate another alien race, the Vorg, a genocidal race bent on total domination, in what is called ‘the Galactic War’. This was not an easy alliance however, as the Turvas are very different than humans. (By ‘different’, I mean they act goofy as all get out.) Relations broke down, and both sides are expecting an attack from the other at any moment.

 

Station Outremer 3B (In conversation use ‘bravo’ rather than ‘be’) is an observation platform which supports fighter patrols along the border between the Turvas systems and the UHF systems. Their mission is to observe Turvas movement and provide early warning to the main forces at Outremer 6 in case of attack. Outremer 3B is staffed by four pilots, against an entire fleet if the Turvas ever decide to attack, so it is assumed that in that case they will either run away or die fighting. However, in reality neither side seems to be interested in attacking the other for real.

 

Characters:

 

Master Sergeant Bob Calhoun. ‘Chief’, Leviathan Pilot: MSG Calhoun is a veteran of the Galactic War. He is the only pilot on Outremer 3B with actual combat experience and has a lot of it. The downside is that he is old, crusty, and lazy, counting down the days until he can retire and collect a hefty pension. The Human Space Force has seen fit to give him an assignment in a backwater outpost until that day arrives. He has a penchant for telling war stories, many of which are exaggerated. While a competent pilot, he tends to spend most of his time on the station managing things from the control room. He gives excuses about needing to be in contact with headquarters, but the real reason is that he’s too lazy to go out on patrol that often.

 

Lance Corporal Gary McBride. ‘Mac’, Warbird Pilot: ‘Mac’ is second in command of the outpost and the second most ‘normal’ soldier on Outremer 3B. He signed up on the closing end of the Galactic War but never saw any action and instead was assigned, alone, to a backwater station between the humans and the Turvas. Not an important job at the time, but someone had to do it. He has been on Outremer 3B ever since. Due to the months of boredom and solitude, he is negative, antisocial, and apathetic, but otherwise a normal soldier. ‘Mac’ also has more experience dealing with the Turvas’ antics than anyone.

 

Spaceman First Class Jack Vincent. ‘Spartan Warrior’, Javelin Pilot: (Nobody actually calls him ‘Spartan Warrior’. It is the nickname he assigned to himself and keeps using as a call sign, but everyone else just responds with ‘Vinny’) Vinny is a ‘high speed’ soldier recently out of training who has only been assigned to the station for a few months. He is physically fit, highly motivated, schooled on every piece of doctrine the Space Force has to offer, and a fairly good pilot. His problem is that he is way too gung ho, glorifies all things related to war, and isn’t grounded in reality. During basic training, he brownnosed the instructors into giving him awards, and he got his pick of his first assignment. He requested to be sent ‘as close to the front lines as possible’. Thus, he got sent to Outremer 3B. He is unpopular on the base, and during the few times he is in contact with command at Outremer 6, they aren’t too accepting of him either.

 

Spaceman Frank Potterson. ‘Newbie’, Spider Pilot: Potterson starts off recently arrived on Outremer 3B and fresh out of training. He’s the most normal and level-headed of the bunch, though definitely wet behind the ears.

 

 

The Script:

Mac, Vinny, and Potterson are flying their ships on patrol in the middle of space.

 

Mac: Outremer 3B, this is Mac, our patrol has reached checkpoint 3, over.

 

Chief: Roger Mac, this is Outremer 3B confirming checkpoint 3, out.

 

Potterson: So, this is the border between the United Human Forces and the Turvas Zone. I must confess for a place with so much rising tensions, it seems pretty boring out here.

 

Vinny: Newbie, this is Spartan Warrior. Keep your guard up here. You let it down for a moment, and they could ambush us. For all we know, they could be prepping to send an entire Squadron over the border at us as we speak, over.

 

Mac: Vinny, shut the fuck up. Contrary to what you see on the news, the Turvas aren’t prepping to do much of anything. They aren’t going to ambush. They aren’t going to attack. They just do stupid shit that freaks the higher ups out. That’s it.

 

Vinny: Mac, this is Spartan Warrior. Weren’t they just in violation of the border treaty last week? Over.

 

Mac: They were grabbing a power ball that they were goofing off with which they dropped and had drifted over on our side! The minute they got the thing they were gone.

 

Vinny: Mac, this is Spartan Warrior. Yeah, but they didn’t call over and request authorization from us to cross the border, over.

 

Mac: Yeah, so who the fuck cares?

 

Vinny: Mac, this is Spartan Warrior. Hey, regardless of the reason, they are in violation of the border treaty. I say, we should send the entire fleet over there and show them who’s boss, over.

 

Potterson: Vinny, that seems a little overboard…

 

Vinny: NEWBIE, THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO TALK TO A SUPERIOR OVER THE SHORTRANGE. YOU WILL ADDRESS ME AS SPARTAN WARRIOR!!! OVER.

 

Mac: Vinny, shut the fuck up you have about 2 months seniority over him.

 

Vinny: Mac, this is Spartan Warrior. I still outrank him, over.

 

Mac: And as someone who outranks you, I say the newbie can call you anything he wants, because our patrol is embarrassing enough without more than one of us saying that gay ‘spartan warrior’ shit all the time.

 

Vinny: MAC, THIS IS SPARTAN WARRIOR, I AM READING TWO POSSIBLE ENEMY CONTACTS IN OUR SECTOR AT ONE O’ CLOCK, 30 CLICKS AWAY, OVER.

 

Mac: Vinny, what the fuck? Oh wait, I read them. Okay, form up and try not to do anything that will start a war, okay? Let’s see what those goofballs are up to this time.

 

(The group approach two terriers flying in a circle in the middle of nowhere)

 

Potterson: I looks to me like they are Turvas ships, and they are …. flying in a circle?

(to be continued)
