[QUOTE="ajanders, post: 5230314, member: 3271"] Actually, when I read Wik's entry, two things jumped out at me. 1. Much better use of the tattooed hand than I had. 2. I felt better because I wasn't the only one without much of an idea about what to do with a straw hat. I toyed around with someone from Panama living in a part of Norway called Jar, but I couldn't get that to go anywhere. The adventure was laid out pretty linearly for three big reasons. 1. I didn't want to NOT wind up with "An Alien in a Jar", getting instead "Alien tricked into Escape Pod" or "Alien converted into Morse Code and beamed into a convenient black hole". 2. I really got into an early Analog mode in this adventure: I like my adventures to feel like movies, or at least TV episodes. I went really old-school here as was shooting for radio serial. Finding out PBartender actually knew about electricity was kinda terrifying. 3...closely linked to 2. Finance/Operations major, not physics or EE. I was afraid to add too much more science to the story. I suppose it would be realistic to allow high-energy wave communication with the lightning monster, but I was kind of afraid to put the words "realistic" and "lightning monster" in the same sentence: I thought it might crash the boards. Good Job, Wik. I'll be stealing Sehanine's Tears. [/QUOTE]
