Q: Is it possible to view active side quests in Infinite Undiscovery?

I've checked the manual, all places in the option I can think of, and the official guide, but I'm not seeing any way to view side quests that I've started. Is there anyway to view active side quests (those that I've accepted/started) in Infinite Undiscovery?

Wipqozn

ugh, where's this merge request at?

user15026

@Wipqozn Yeah, that strikes me as a ridiculous idea.

Fluttershy

@Wipqozn I'm just telling you what I was told. You were the original poster of the question, so I figured you'd know.....

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy Like I said, I've been leaving it alone until the drama died off.

There's been enough drama without fighting over tags.

Where is the merge request @Fluttershy? I'm not seeing it.

Fluttershy

12:03 AM

@Wipqozn There isn't one. I was just told that that was brought up once.

Wipqozn

@Fluttershy Well if someone brings it up again tell them to delete the usage of the tag everywhere else first.

And then give them the stare.

@Fluttershy Indeed. It's not all that comprehensible, but I think the essence of the statement is, "I'm with the FBI, a warrant is out for your arrest, blah blah, I think you're innocent, so send money here, and I'll take care of it."

@GnomeSlice Eh? I'd be curious to know which movies lately have been original.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert ...I have no words. You think every movie that has come out recently has been a remake?

fbueckert

The only ones I know of off the top of my head are A) remakes, B) 3D remakes, or C) continuing a sequel.

GnomeSlice

Stargate.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert Not exactly.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice Wasn't Prometheus some kind of a sequel to Alien?

GnomeSlice

You know that there are only like 7 different stories that have ever been told, right?

@RedRiderX Prequel or something, but I haven't seen any of them and it stood really well on its own.

fbueckert

Savages: Pot growers Ben and Chon face off against the Mexican drug cartel who kidnapped their shared girlfriend.

If that's not a stoner comedy, I dunno what is.

user15026

@fbueckert THIS. This is why I don't watch movies often.

GnomeSlice

@fbueckert It's not a comedy at all.

user15026

@GnomeSlice ...I hate that argument, and also, it really isn't helping your case any - if anything, it proves @fbueckert's point.

GnomeSlice

Also, Blake Lively.

@AshleyNunn I'm saying that just because two stories have similarities, it doesn't mean neither of them are 'original'.

Grace Note

@RedRiderX I think you missed there?

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice Then it's a stoner action movie. Lots of explosions, gunfights, but don't really tell much of story. It's all about "Wee, look at the guns! And things go boom! And here's a hot girl that's not wearing much!"

user15026

1:50 AM

@GnomeSlice That's not really what that argument is saying

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn Well, it's what I meant.

I think it's pretty clear I have a history of not getting my point across correctly.

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn As much as you hate that argument... It holds pretty true.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy To a degree, yes.

user15026

@Fluttershy I hate it in the sense that everyone has put this concrete number on it (7) and no one can name these 7 stories.

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn Yes they can...

fbueckert

1:52 AM

But you have the MPAA whining about how they're pouring SO much money into innovation and originality, and what do we get?

Lion King.

3D.

GnomeSlice

Complaining about 3D remakes doesn't make all modern movies unoriginal.

user15026

@GnomeSlice I doubt that, but if you can prove that, I will concede.

GnomeSlice

I can't stand 3D films.

@AshleyNunn us.penguingroup.com/static/html/blogs/…

Although I don't think that's entirely correct.

But I first heard this theory when I was a kid, and I distinctly remember hearing 7 specifically defined plots.

fbueckert

@GnomeSlice I'm not complaining about the remakes. I'm complaining about the MPAA's definition of "original".

user15026

@GnomeSlice ....that's 7 genres, not 7 individual stories. By that logic, every country or rock or eurobeat or whatever song is the same thing.

GnomeSlice

1:54 AM

> So personally I don't get too bothered about whether or not a plot is considered 'original' or 'unoriginal'. All stories are, to some degree, cover versions. It's how you carry these universal plots into the present age that's the challenge for every writer.

user15026

Yeah, but theyre not 7 stories, they are 7 broad plots.

GnomeSlice

@AshleyNunn ...What do you call a story then?

That's the whole point. Every story is just a variation of one of those plots.

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn The only thing that separates a story from a plot is the way in which it is told. Every story can be summed up in those 7 plots.

GnomeSlice

I'm too tired to argue about this anyway, I think I'm gonna go make a pizza.

Don't hate me.

Fluttershy

For once in my life... I have to side with @GnomeSlice. Gods... The end of times is coming...

@GnomeSlice Which one would fit for psychological horror? Not tragedy (unless someone has heart attack) and doesn't fit in other categories (well, maybe comedy if its badly done). Though pizza > chat so I don't expect Gnome to answer that :p

My other question on opening doors is also bad; turns out when the quest target is somewhere in a circle ... sometimes I have to actually go between buildings or find back entrances to get to it

though idk if there are actual cases where I'd have to open doors; however I'm increasingly of the opinion that Kingsmouth houses don't have interiors
