Okay, I'm officially tired of explaining this to everyone. One person asks, fine, I'll explain... 2, okay... 5? No. I will not do that. I guess I wasn't clear enough in how MMLEx's new story system will work.
MMLEx WILL NOT HAVE A SINGLE STORY LINE, RATHER A COLLECTION OF SMALLER SEPARATE STORY LINES MAKING THE GAME EASIER TO MAKE AND CUT DOWN ON DEVELOPMENT TIME THUS INCREASING THE CHANCES OF IT BEING COMPLETED. Sorry about angry "shift keys" (angry caps is for losers) but I'm tired of this not being known by any of my staff. These short stories are called "scenarios" and they will be picked based on the choices of the members on MMLS, unless the staff get one that they all agree is a good choice. People that are not staff of MMLEx can send their story to me any way they would want. Stories can be shorter than 3 pages, yet be fine for a scenario based on the requirements. (My anger is not toward anyone, just me tired of being asked the same question
)
1. Related to MML. It doesn't need to have Trigger, Roll, Tron. It can be a different take on a battle or something. Play as the junk store owner rummaging for parts whatever. Just has to be related to MML.
2. Keep it E - PG 13. MMLEx engine will have support for minute blood and gore. It is up to the staff to decide whether a story is appropriate for blood and gore unless the story writer says what they would like. No nudity, or anything stupid like that. Swearing goes by the forum rules.
3. No flaming members through stories. Now one scenario that got put forth to me was interesting. It was more of a put down from Chiz, but it got me thinking, and eventually led to me thinking of what if we made a story with MMLS people as characters. First of all, if you are going to use someone from the forum as an in game personality, they must approve what you've wrote. Secondly, if it involves the violent take over of MMLS, its not allowed, only I can write that story as I'm the only one taking over MMLS in the near future through violent methods. (April fools joke was only the beginning...)
4. Keep them short. We don't want a 100 page story. I don't want a 20 page story. 10 pages is even a bit long. This just needs to be dialogue, BRIEF description of the action (unless you are so inclined to do more). Longer stories may be accepted, but would be cut down for developmental purposes.
5. Submitting a story means that the MMLEx staff has the right to alter it. We will of course show you the altered form of it appearing to make sure it captures the meaning of the story. Altering it would only be for developmental purposes, and not personal reasons. Developmental purposes include changing cuss words.
6. Implied rules. Don't do anything stupid just because I didn't list it. If you don't think somethings okay to do, it probably isn't, but if you are not sure, just PM me and I'll let you know.
I'll add more to this later... and if people still don't understand just post your question, because then everyone can see the answer I reply.

. Somehow I have a feeling they are both dealing with the same subject.
