Official Lein's Tale Topic

First topic message reminder :


Okay, so as the leader of LT, I have decided to hold a brainstorming session for what the storyline will be. A quote from Biosector01's page on Lein should help you guys come up with something...

Biosector01 wrote:Lein was a Jungle Agori living on Spherus Magna, and made a living as a trader. He eventually opened the first trading post in the Great Jungle, at a ford in one of the rivers. The business was very successful, and the ford would later be known as Lein's Drift, after the Agori.

Lein died of natural causes many years prior to the Core War.

Lein was a highly successful trader, and his business flourished because of his skills.

And here's a post from the Official Greg Dialogue giving more information about Lein. I highly suggest you read Greg's answers to these questions, to learn more about Lein's life.

I've put together a working plotline that the Guild Three writers have come up with so far; we still need to work on some specifics, but so far the concept is coming together nicely.

WORKING PLOTLINE FOR LEIN’S TALE

Lein is a fairly successful trader, who works with his girlfriend, Dyra, by the side of a Bota Magna river. Lein makes a nice amount of money, but when an opportunity to make even more appears in the form of a bet, he -- with some prodding from Dyra -- takes a risk. Unfortunately for him, he loses the bet and ends up another struggling merchant.

In order to make more money, he has to start trading under the table; again with some persuasion from Dyra, he begins working with shady black market dealings -- and finds that he’s a natural at it. However, his conscience aches at this choice; and to make matters worse some Glatorian get wind of his illegal doings and seek proof of his involvement with the black market.

At some point his dealings result in a huge forest fire. Lein has to rescue loved ones and everybody else as well, while having the Glatorian after him hot on his tail.

The fire results in the death of one of his close friends. He spends the rest of his life trying to make things right, despite suffering depression and, soon after, a fatal illness. His deeds clear his name, and after death people speak his name with respect once again.

Please go here to help expand on the plot.

So...post away!

Good to hear.

Yeah, we'll soon have MNI Topic in Bzpower.

Okay, we need help here getting this done. I'll help but I need to know what we need here so guys get cracking here the other serials also need help so don't abandon them. Origins and TGC have name polls and suggestion topics so guys lets get cracking.

PM LL. Get him here.

He's quit until January.

Huh?
Why?

Well he said it's life but Lien's Tale will continue and I'll make sure so keep brainstorming!

May I point your attention to this. It's quite important to the story.

Celu, Why didn't you tell us! God, Why? We need a replacement.

A Replacement?
You mean a replacement person to be in charge of LL?

No, a replacement for Guild 3. And a MNI Secretary.

I meant to be in charge of G3 instead of LL, not to be in charge of LL.

Yes, We need a guy in that position until January. Badly.

LL is not an Secretary anymore.

Me?

Ehm, Why not? Not a bad idea.

Do you want?

Yes want.

Then from this day, you are in charge of Era 2: Lure of Crime AKA Guild 3: Lein's Tale.

It's up to you to pull this together.

Right. Let's see what we've got:
Lein is a fairly successful trader, who works with his girlfriend, Dyra, by the side of a Bota Magna river.

At some point his dealings result in a huge forest fire. Lein has to rescue loved ones and everybody else as well, while having the Glatorian after him hot on his tail.

The fire results in the death (?) of one of his close friends. He spends the rest of his life (which isn't long) trying to make things right. His deeds clear his name.

Now, what else can we think of? Also do I know have some responsibility in getting more people for this?

Well, pretty much yes. That's exactly what we have. Also, that's my part. As project leader, I have that authority.

Have the fire kill Dyra it would be awesome to have her die. ;0

...I suggested that idea long before, you plagiarizer.

Don't worry, I'm kidding.

Also, just so you know, I will barely be on. It'll be more 'now and then' than 'practically every day', but still, I can do some things.

Is my demotion permanent, or just until I come back full-force?

I think you're in charge and I'm a just a deputy type take over if you're away guy.
Anywho, do we want to have Dyra die?

Okay, I see. At any rate my forum rank has been demoted; I'm not a Mata Nui Inc. Secretary anymore.

As I've already stated, I suggested that idea a while back -- on the old forum, I believe. We have her die, and her death will plague Lein and, in addition, cause him to believe that perhaps the black market dealings he has been involved with are a bad idea.

Well the reson for that is you have FLL.
