Why hasn't Drakilian written a storygame?

Drakilian always leaves such insightful comments on games and in the forums, so I was curious to see what type of stories he (she?) writes, but alas, there were none to be found. Is Drakilian just a reader? Or is has he been working on something epic for the last 6 months?

Writers block or he just isn't working on one. I have one that I have been working on for a while but I have not finished it because of writer's block. ^.^

Edit: Or Killa's answer.

Just cause you can read and analyze a story doesn't mean you can write.

Drakillian is evil, thats why he doesn't write stories.

I even send him a message about it.

I've never once encountered any post by Drak that I would remotely consider evil. Maybe it's a perspective mindset?

Yeah, Drak is good for non-euclidian logic, but just because he is squamous and icky, doesn't make him evil  ;)

I had to look up what non-euclidean logic actually means, but yeah, he tends to do it a lot haha.

(I'm still not sure what it means, and I spent a good 30 minutes reading about non-euclidean geometry on wikipedia...)

Its a compliment... mostly

Well, i'm guessing it means unconventional logic, and there was a website devoted to it being "Unyielding through the creative process", but i'm still not sure what to make of it.

It's not really a compliment lol. Basically it means you have a habit of making (false) assumptions based on what you are told and using that as the basis of your argument.

And you arrived to this conclusion how exactly?

Why good sir, I can promise you I have never trolled these forums!

Why hasn't Drakilian written a storygame?

I don't care who trolled and who didn't

Trolling is a perspective thing.

But you are evil. Seriously. You either did something very very bad or are going to do something very very bad. I can feel it... I just can. it's either that or my tooth aches again.

Superstition is a horrible thing, I suggest you subscribe your beliefs to something else. Really, literally anything else. And see a dentist.

And i'll admit, i'm not exactly the nicest person in real life, and i'm cruel at times, maybe i'd even go so far as to say often, but i'd hardly say i'm evil.

Then again, the evil person never thinks he's evil,  so maybe I am. Who knows?

As for trolling being a perspective thing, it's not. Someone deliberately spamming, purposely acting like a complete idiot, saying deliberately provocative things, posting innapropriate pictures, linking shock sites, and doing generally stupid, inane bullshit is trolling. Ir's not a matter of perspective, and it never will be. It's a matter of online politeness. Doing things like that online is the virtual equivalent of a person coming up to you in real life completely naked while holding a picture of a man receiving oral sex from some sort of rodent, while screaming that "THE JEWS DESERVED IT, HITLER WAS RIGHT" and then asking you to subscribe to chain letters. So no, it's not a matter of opinion, or perspective, or anything of the like, it's a matter of behaving like a normal human being.

Also, I replied to Aeon, not you.

No seriously. You don't know the Epictome of Internet behavior?

huh, 4chan isn't that popular these days...

anyways, one of the base rules is that "everyone with clear grammar , that always has a point, has good arguments and has a handsome male as avatar/profile pic is VERY EVIL AND YOU SHOULD FEAR THEM"

 

So far, only you fir the description. Aeon is far from having good arguments, galobtter doesn't always have a point, Aman doesn't have a handsome male as avatar, my grammar sucks,...  so only you and BZ remain, and we all know BZ.

Don't listen to him Aeon, did you read his post? I hope not, because crap like that kills brain cells at an extremely accelerated rate.

Like, seriously, made no sense at all.

But I do have clear grammar, I do always (90% of the time) have a point, AND BITCH I'M SEXY AS FUCK!

if you're sexy, then I don't want to know what "unattractive" means.

For 1. I don't need a "Male" approval of my physical features. 

For 2. Even if I did need male approval of my outward appearance, I wouldn't ask someone with a marmot complex.

Comments on games?

I don't remember any insightful comments I left on games. Usually it's just a typical "Meh" or a "this is a horribly written piece of trash"

I've written about one or two actual good comments, and I have no idea how you would have found them lol.

Anyways, i'm a guy, yes.

I am just a reader, I can write perfectly fine (Of course Killa has to insult my writing skill) but I often lack the motivation to create a story-game (not stories, I can write stories just fine, but I tried writing a storygame, and after you finish the initial path, writing the rest out gets to be so tedious, took all of the fun out of it).

I'll probably make one eventually, but that day is not coming for a long, long time. 

Thank you for the compliment though.

(Also, sorry I didn't reply to this earlier, never saw it)

Lol why is that an insult? October has openly admitted to this and he's an actual moderator XD. He's just saying possessing one doesn't inherently mean you possess the other

(I'm beginning to see everything Killa says about me as an insult, it's become a habit. Should probably get over it. But I found it insulting as i'm actually quite proud of my writing, being told you can't write kind of drags that pride out into an alley and beats it with a bat, probably made of metal)

Why hasn't Drakilian written a storygame?

Then write something :). No sarcasm, I genuinely want to see how you write.

I said it as a general statement lol. Being able to read or judge a story doesn't mean a person can write.
