Please tell me what you think of my work! *begs* Clicky!Edit: I suppose I could share some of the thought process behind the story instead of just begging for attention. I was inspired by Urthdigger's Hand Puppet. Before stumbling upon his work, I hadn't really thought of writing about making a story involving a character's selection process. From there, our stories diverge. For example, mine is much shorter. I originally planned to submit the whole story at once, but I realized I'd accidentally written it in a sort of episodic format. I decided to go with it and see how it worked.

To be quite fair, I blatantly stole the character choosing thing from Dan Shive's RetroMUD comic (which is what got me started on Retro). Also, mine was also originally going to be very short! In the original posts I made before I rewrote everything, he didn't have a problem with killing people (which I had to change since it didn't match his personality in other places he used them), and it was just going to be fairly short: Kills the bandit in Welstar, goes back to the guild, then goes off to find Miltiades and makes him pay for stealing all the toilets in the world, and during the time reflect on how the jobs are more just want the higher ups want him to do, rather than what Cyllyl wants him to do.
Anyway, over time I just kinda changed a few things and just kept running with it. Maybe yours will be short. Maybe it'll last forever. Who knows? I just hope it'll turn out great. It's a bit too early to make a call on that.

Because 'stabbity, stabbity, stabbity' is a punchline.

So when referencing your rp, should I be calling it "Big and Worldly" or "Big World"? I'm assuming the latter, as your story is called that, and comments about the "Big World" could be viewed as "Big and Worldly comments," but I wanted to know for sure. "Big and Worldly" is a more attention-grabbing title, but it has a very different meaning which doesn't, so far, seem to relate to your story.
Just checking, -Kereth Midknight

I changed the thread title to make it less ambiguous. I apologize for any confusion.

I neglected to mention that the majority of this story is based upon actual in-game experiences. I just condensed a bit here and embellished a bit there.

Turns out I miscounted the sections when they were all on one Word document. There are only eight.
