divide & conquer - semi advanced discussion

\\ open for discussion. only the groups moderators may post here. //

What should we start on first ^.^

Probably the plot and the groups description ^_^
I can work on that if you'd like to make the rules and such?

Should this be an advanced, semi advance? Or just a group that makes you require to write at least 5-6 sentences ?

Of course!

Hmm probably semi-advanced but I'll put in the rules section that you have to write at least 5-6 sentences - that way it's less intimidating but at the same time, you have to actually write :)

Thank you!!!

And that sounds good! ^^ I will start typing up a description *typing with a tired brain awaits* lmao

Uuhhhg my brain isn't working right now. Way to tired >.< I will type something up tomorrow. If you get bored by all means type one up and pm it to me and we can edit together? But that's all up to you "tiger" *wink wink* lmao I needed to say that!

Ok! I'm home all day tomorrow (cuz I'm sick with something thats slowly killing me (view spoiler)[not really but it SUCKS (hide spoiler)] so I can do lots of work :)

Bahahah I love Maddalia (view spoiler)[my improv ship name XD (hide spoiler)] !!! <3 Good night! I'll do a little more before I sign out ;)

The plot looks great!

I made some Graphic for it :)

You're so flippin good at that it scares me lol

They are stunning!!

Thank you so much! hahaha. I love making graphics but it literally takes me forever!

Well they're definitely worth it cuz I can safely say they are the prettiest graphics I've laid eyes on in all my time on GR :)

You can put them in the plot and rules :) Just make sure they are lined up and such! Oh and if you want to use the admin note thing when you want to make an announcement and stuff :)

Should I make an informative thread on the different types of magical beings & their powers?

I already did - you can take a peek and see if it's to your liking :)

Ok!

yeah that would be great! I will work on making the family tree for the kingdom. Should there be an application? Or first cone first serve type thing? I was thinking that they should have maybe 8-10 kids? because its the old days and the more kids the better :P

Alrighty! Hmmm I'm thinking first cone first serve because personally every time I've made people apply, there's nobody who didn't actually make the cut lol

Yes! Bigger family for sure.

Okay awesome! sounds good!

Two things; what should the last name of the royals be? And what was the name of the witch?

Here are some options that popped up on the web: Holloway, Bainbridge, Lockwood, Christensen (I am SO bad with surnames)

Her name was Roslyn. I think that's an ok medieval name.

I made the last name Bernières >.< because I'm already working on the family tree. And okay great thanks!

Perfect lol that's better than anything I could have come up with!

I just finished the magical beings thread - tell me if there's anything you think I should add/remove.

I love it It looks great!

I finished the family tree. I'm going to make some graphics for the family tree and the magic and stuff. If you want you can type up some history and stuff for the royal family. Only if you want too.

Here is one for you

Ok! I love the family tree - it's flawless.

Thank you!

Personally I think we don't really need the extra family history in the royal family thread, just because all the important stuff was described in the plot?

What do you think? :)

Yeah I agree with that. I will just put up slots for the family members and staff. I have to go and help my friend insulate her house so I will be back On GR later. Feel free to add anything you want when i'm gone :)

Ok! See you soon :)

okay so for the characters. We should also have one just for the villagers? And I'm going to make a template for the Fc's that I want people to use. You can post it in there once i'm done. I also wanted to make a template for the characters. I want them all to be the same because I want it to look organized :)

Ok, will do!

Okay I just finished the template what do you think?

It's perfect! Should we put it in the workshop thread?

major sidenote but I made my first graphic and I really like it lol (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

Thats awesome!! I love it! And yeah sure you can just put a link to it in there. Also I made the FC template I would like people to use that as the FC's template. and maybe we should only allow people to have six FC's?

Thank ya ^.^
Yeah, I like that cuz then everybody goes crazy and claims too many people

I knowww hahah

So should I make my FC look like yours and add the template to the top?

yes that would be great!

Okie dokie!

Could you copy & paste your formatting for me? I've been trying to mimic it but I'm stumped lol

Thank you! That helped mucho. What's next on our to-do list?

This is the next step



making locations. I will tell you how to make the graphics step by step :)

Ok! Let's do it.

okay so the first step its to go on google. Find three pictures you love! One needs to be a gif. Save them on your computer. You will be needing them.

Go to http://www.online-image-editor.com/
bring one picture in at a time. In basics you will see something called "cut shapes" Use the two thats not the gif with the right side up triangle. Fuzz factor at 0% save the pictures again once cut into shape.

With the one with the gif use the upside down triangle with 3% fuzz factor. Save it.


Make a canvas. It can be any size thats big enough. I do 700 by 700. Make sure you change the color to white.

Once you have your white background. Go into where it says wizard. Right next to basic. Click overlay image. Bring your first one in. Size it how you like it. the apply. Do the same with all of them. Upside down triangle with the gif always in the middle. Make sure they are all the same size when you resize it.

Now its time to texts! Go back to the basics. Add Text. Type in the name of the location. Go to font and click the gray looking bell thing next to it. It will give you what all the fonts look like. Click all fonts at the top of the page. scroll down until you find CASTELLAR that will be the font you use for the name of the location. Make the size of the font 50, 45 or 40.

Then you type up the description of the location using the centaur font. Make that size 20 or 19. Line it all up like I did. You just need to press enter if you want that line to end and space when you want to move a line over.

Now you crop the whole thing. and its going too be 600 by however long your description is. make sure everything is lined up!


I know that is a lot. If you need any help along the way let me know! <3

This is what I got lmao I think I did everything right except I mixed up the triangles!

Aaaaandd the background is a weird color
