I might be a little bias in this, but I'd say Categorical Greg Answer Reference. After that I'd say, judging from what you wrote, either that comedy or the Random Insights thing should be next highest on your list.

 

 

Also, sightly off-entry, has their been a motion in S&T to find and organize all the Greg quotes in the Chat with Greg topic? For some reason I've been wanting to it, but aren't sure if a log of (new) Greg quotes is really wanted/needed.

What's going on with your epic? Amethyst or something? I guess it was lost in the recent downtime. Would love to see it finished.

 

I'd have to agree with Jag; Greg categories.

 

Selfishly, I would also love to see your thoughts on TDoB, but no rush.

 

Jag, I for one would love it if people would post more of Greg's new posts in the Compendium, but I don't know how often he says anything of relevance. Personally I'm too intimidated by the sheer size of that topic to try to keep up with it directly. If there are more that are relevant to story than what we've seen in the Compendium, then I'd hope for some organization to it too.

 

Fun fact: Waaaaay back in the olden days BZP tried to do a database search Greg quotes archive. It never really got much of the quotes put in it though. Since then every such attempt has been abandoned (I guess we never anticipated just how much he had to say). But if anyone can do it, it's probably fishers!

That's been finished for months. I suppose that it somehow got mixed up in the communication, and I should have PMed you. See this post. Yes, I had to fix it after the data loss, but after that I finished the posting the story out to the end. According to the records, you were on chapter 13 or something like that, but I suspect you'll want to reread anyway. My bad.

 

I do still want to hear your thoughts on the ending though, if you're still up for it.

bonesiii, you are evil. Don't tempt me yet, you little manipulator. I see where this is going, and I'm not sure I like the road.

I haven't seen a movement, but I'm not going to forget the LMB when I make the reference. I already have plans to include it, by using Skelly's "list of all Greg's posts", at least. If that's too big, I can always whip out the URL readers again. (Looking over it now, it looks like I may have to, although I suppose many of those posts aren't relevant, and it may be a thumb-through. We'll see.) That's not the big issue here - it's a two-hour problem.

 

The priority though is getting the old Greg answers into an easily readable thing, though, because not only are they more salient, they are currently hassle some to access. That's part of the reason why I have this blog - I want the answers to be back on BZPower again, as opposed to somewhere else. Although if I bribe bones enough, I might try to get it into a S&T topic where it rightfully belongs.

I appreciate the vote of confidence. However, given that this project will likely (not certain, but likely) sentence me to hundreds of hours of reading through Greg answers and categorizing them (And yes I do hear that voice in my head "You do want to read all of those answers, fishers, don't you?") you'll have to forgive me if I start wondering how much is an honest attempt to praise my abilities and how much is flattery to get me to do what you want.

 

I'm going to leave this open for now, and see what other people have to say, but unless things change, it's starting to look like Greg ref first, comedy second. Of course, these are the hardest items on the list. I appreciate the challenge.

I've read through the entire topic once, already and I'd say a solid 25% of the stuff isn't that relevant. It took me a week to do the read through, they were some interesting tibits, and of course a few big things.

 

Depending, on how badly fishers is dying to tackle the Greg Topic herself, I would gladly undertake the job and let fishers focus on more pressing matters.

I welcome any and all assistance, JAG18. If you want to tackle the topic, it's all yours.

 

Go forth!

Yes!

While I'm obviously no good for GMing at this point in time, I'm always good for bouncing around story ideas if you need them.

Thank you for the offer; I may take you up on it.

 

As of right now, I have 2 votes for 1 Categorical GregF Reference, sort of .5 votes for RI and the comedy, and sort of .5 for the games.

 

Also as of right now, I have found a method that will save me a great deal of time on this matter - I'm confident enough on the preliminary tests to move the status up to In Progress. I hope to update you all on the some of the details before the end of today, once I finish a few more tests. (Java! You are not getting though all 15MB of the OGD fast enough! You're fired! )
