Thread "Idea? The traveling assist..." in forum "Networking & Community Projects*"

Posted at 7:03PM, Mar. 31, 2008

I've been tossing this idea in my head for a while now, and I'm not sure if it would be good.

So here is the premise. I make a comic called "The traveling assist," I choose someone of my choice to make the assistant. They make a page, they PQ someone asking if they would like to assist next. If they agree, I make them the new assistant, and they create a page, they choose someone new, ect. Kina works like a surprise project.

I'm not sure if I want to have a plot or anything consistent, but it could show some amazing contrasts in art, style, and story telling.

Do people think that this could/will work?

(If the assist gets stuck, I'd reboot it.)

Sounds like a good idea.
Like a collaboration?
They make a part of a story, then the next person makes the next part?
That'd be good.
Just, you make the first page.
I'd contribute, definitely.

Yeah, I would make the first page (later on when I'm less busy).
But you think that it is a good idea?

The main thing that makes this project different is that the person who does the page, choses the next one (in case you were wondering what makes it special). I'm really not sure whether this is a significant difference and therefore worth making into a project. That is what I really want to know.

Yeah, sounds like an interesting idea.
Worth seeing where it'll get ya'.

Cool!
I may start it this weekend!

OK, I'm starting this.
Here is what you will PQ someone when you have chosen them to continue the story:

Why hello.
This has been sent from *your username*.
You, *their username*, have been selected from many to create the next page for The Traveling Assist.
Do you accept?
If yes:
1. PQ Bocaj, saying so.
2. You will notice a new comic appear under the comics you assist.
3. Make a page continuing the comic's plot (not too random.)
4. Upload it
5. Copy, paste this message to the next victim (word for word minus names)(This is anyone of your choice!*)

The comic's forum is here.

If no:
1. You suck.

(*Please note: If they refuse, it is on you to choose a different person)

This. Sounds. AWESOME. I want to do this too!

Awesome!
Well currently Crocty has the Assist, so he will choose the next, hope you get it sometime.
(Maybe you could ask him for it next?)

Posted at 12:05AM, May. 22, 2008

Sounds great!
I'd love to work on this!

Posted at 12:05PM, May. 28, 2008

WE. HAVE. LIFT-OFF!

Posted at 2:05PM, May. 28, 2008

So who's next, Crocty?

RapidoBlue.
He said he'd be interested in contributing. =O

Posted at 6:05PM, May. 28, 2008

Why didn't he PQ me???

Posted at 6:05PM, May. 28, 2008

well, his last login was 15 days ago…

I don't think you understand. This forum has nothing to do with who contributes next. You are supposed to choose someone and PQ them that message. Once they accept, they tell me, and I make them assistant.

Oh I know.
I chose him because he said he would've been interested.
Very well, I shall pick someone else, if he hasn't logged in for 15 days…

Ok, I got the comic done then sent the message to flapjack, I don't know when I'll get to the computer again so it had to be a fairly speedy process, thanks for letting me take part!

I accepted, I'm drawing it right now. But just as I peeked onto the site to find what the alien looked like, DD's image server crapped out on me again. Could anybody who CAN see the image send it to me?

I can't see anything!!!!
But you're assistant.

Posted at 3:05PM, May. 30, 2008

I really don't want to have to do this, but I'm going to have to pass on the assist. Maybe when there are more pages. I still want to, I just don't think I can right now. I'll send an invite to Spiritmonkey.

Posted at 4:05PM, May. 30, 2008

wait, then is it not my responsibility to choose the next guy? ah well, I woulda chosen spiritmonkey anyway so it's all good.

Posted at 4:05PM, May. 30, 2008

Oh, sorry. I didn't think of that.

It is your responsibility,since Falpjack rejected.
PQ SPIRIT MONKEY.
