Did it work?

TARDIS Maker

Not sure yet

GiantCowFilms

try now?

TARDIS Maker

I think it did

Yup

BookWyrm17

So is it, like, incredibly important to write it like that?
Do we need to use that font?

GiantCowFilms

can you edit the script?

@BookWyrm17 when we use adobe story, it will be automatic

and it does make things alot easier

TARDIS Maker

23:02

BookWyrm17

I can see how some of it is easier to read and understand...
The font or the type?

GiantCowFilms

Both

just use adobe story, and stress you will not have to.

BookWyrm17

why the font though? :P It just seems rather weird

GiantCowFilms

@TARDISMaker Can you make an edit?

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms Just did

GiantCowFilms

23:03

@BookWyrm17 Goes back to the early 1900's, type writers.

TARDIS Maker

I don't have to tell it to save, right?

BookWyrm17

soo... tradition?

TARDIS Maker

basically

BookWyrm17

Is that the only reason? I can see the aesthetic reasons if you WANT it to look like a script, but overall its not the nicest thing to read

TARDIS Maker

Oh, yeah. The big thing, is that all the characters are the same length

Forgot about that

BookWyrm17

23:04

...And that is becaaaaause

GiantCowFilms

@TARDISMaker don't think so

TARDIS Maker

In most coding text editors and terminals they use the same types of fonts

GiantCowFilms

@BookWyrm17 it puts you into the mode

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms Okay, well I at least think that 's the big reason when you're coding

GiantCowFilms

if it looks like your word processor, you'll write like you do in your wordprocessor

@TARDISMaker see context of reply arrow :P

@TARDISMaker are you going to add your line?

BookWyrm17

23:06

In... the mode.
And this is just how everyone gets in "the mode"?
Are you SURE we can't use something else? It doesn't have to be Comic Sans, just something not so... rigid. :P

GiantCowFilms

I hate how it locks while someone else is editing

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms That's not fun

I didn't realize it did that

GiantCowFilms

I wonder how hard it would be to write my own equivalent software.

It wouldn't have the other fancy features

but it could probably do the basics.

BookWyrm17

Times New Roman, Trebuchet, whatever...

TARDIS Maker

Yeah

GiantCowFilms

23:07

@BookWyrm17 stop it with the font!

TARDIS Maker

You could bring in git integration also

BookWyrm17

Soooorrrry. :P Still weird though.

GiantCowFilms

@TARDISMaker I can't wait till radish reads the script :P

TARDIS Maker

GiantCowFilms

I think we should make the script we have now into a pitch, @TARDISMaker

TARDIS Maker

23:13

That would make an interesting film...

GiantCowFilms

yeah

gandalf3

Not all the pitches seem to be in the vote?

GiantCowFilms

We added more pitches after we did the poll

ignore them when you vote

we will do another vote

this one is sorta a test run

gandalf3

Are people voting for their own pitches? or no?

GiantCowFilms

Sure

@gandalf3 you vote for however many you want

Basically, what you think deserves to get written into a script

in the next faze we will then pick one of the scripts to make.

We are picking between 3 and 4 films to turn into a script.

gandalf3

23:29

I see

voted :)

X-27

@GiantCowFilms big deal. My script was not in the right format. You still get the idea behind it, right?

GiantCowFilms

I wanna do the write format :P

X-27

right

no write

GiantCowFilms

That was a pun

X-27

~~write~~, ~~wright~~, ~~right~~, correct

GiantCowFilms

23:37

PUN!

X-27

PHUNNY!!!!

TARDIS Maker

I need to go

GiantCowFilms

cya

TARDIS Maker

I probably won't be back until Friday

GiantCowFilms

O.o!

@TARDISMaker where are you off to?

X-27

23:38

Buh-Bye'

GiantCowFilms

I'm trying to decide if its worth writing a screen writing app that allows live edits like google docs but otherwise is similar to adobe story. A lot of work :/

X-27

gloriously awesome explosion ignites in the background while X-27 salutes the departing TARDIS

@GiantCowFilms seriously? No.

TARDIS Maker

@GiantCowFilms I have school tommarrow, then I go to my sister/brother-in-law's house, then I have a boy scout thing

Buh-Bye'

TARDIS Maker

@X-27 bye

actually leaves computer

X-27

23:40

Pulls pin on grenade and walks away

GiantCowFilms

@X-27 why?

@TARDISMaker Okay

cya

I'm curious why there seems to be a pushback to using correct formatting. I find it easier to read, and faster the write then any thing else I have seen.

Although adobe story isn't that bad, only slightly annoying.

I'm making an executive decision not to include @iKlsR in this vote (I don't think he is that interested) and I'm going to do a tally now

Besides @iKlsR, some of these scripts are doomed

these include:

GCF's Buddy Cop
X-27's Helium
BookWyrms' Kingdom
GCF's Deaths Journey
TARDIS' Surving Death Pitch

Also Probably my Helium, Surfers and Gandalfs Dev Pitches are going to the rocks... :/

Ruless Racing... I didn't think that was going to float.

X-27

You can not kill Ruless Racing. That one will be the best

easiest to make, no dialog, all around best choice.
