Here's a writing task for ya: worldgen strings. They work by specifying a list of strings, with an arbitrary number of them. Then they are randomly chosen, shown until worldgen ends.

But I don't think we should have too many of them.

Deploying double rainbows.

Replacing static batteries.

Assembling skeletons.

Eating Planting marshmallows

Please turn off all electronic devices.

Having too many of them seems to break our worldgen screen, so I agree. :p

Nah, that could always be fixed. What I see as the real issue in having too many is that it'll be hard to express a general feeling for a cohesive whole. Depending on the random picks, the phrases may become too biased towards some topics.

Was thinking on taking suggestions for quotes from the suggestions thread, but here works anyway. I'm fine both ways.

It's more developer oriented, sure. But since we made a general move of removing the tag from the other developmental threads, I think it'd be nice to not make this the exception. :razz:

Teos is doing Wolfgang quotes

KidneyBoy is doing WX-78

I'm doing Wendy and Winnie

Suggestions are fine but its at their discretion if its used.

I shouldn't be liking that, since you shouldn't feel you need to ask permission to help on an open collab, specially with a fine title like Storyteller next to your name, but i like the good manners, and i love the offer! :^D

 

...Maybe the OP could use a little more welcoming warmth? Luggs?
