Text writers wanted! - Closed once more.

Hey folks,

Please ignore anything about unit-descriptions, they are finished! Instead refer to my latest post. The information regarding spelling and grammar still applies

I'm looking for some more friendly chaps who fancy doing some writing for the mod, specifically unit descriptions.

I have a list of work that needs doing, but I'm reluctant to post it here for fear of spoiling the factions for a lot of people.

If you're interested, please let me know and which faction you would like to do. I will then PM you a list of the faction specific units that need doing.

If you've never done this before that's fine, but a few points:

• The descriptions need to be in proper English spelling and grammar.
• Wording is American, ie "armor" not "armour"; this was a stylistic choice based on Martin's writing, which uses American spellings even in European editions (I'm English )
• Each description needs to contain information about the unit's tactics, armour and weaponry.
• If the unit is not generic, it needs information relating to its house.
• Dramatic and "historical" (as in pertaining to Westeros) should also be used when necessary.

A couple of examples:

Armoured Spearmen (generic):
Armored Spearmen are professional warriors, drawn from the lower classes throughout Westeros. Brothers, sons, fathers, they have been enlisted in the professional standing armies of the Great Houses and those whose banners are pledged to them. They have some skill in combat, having been better and more consistently trained than levied troops. Their standardized large shields and long spears make them very solid defensive unit, and their mail armor enables them to resist attacks from both foot and horse, so long as they are well supported. If necessary they can form a defensive circle to protect their flanks.

Armored Spearmen are an effective defensive unit and due to their mail armor, are capable of putting up a good account of themselves against heavier units, particularly when supported by other units.

Pikeman (generic):
Professional warriors, enlisted by bannermen and Great Houses, Pikemen are given superior training to the Spearmen that often make up the bulk of the foot soldiers in the armies of Westeros. Although they wear light armor, by virtue of their long pikes, they are capable of presenting a fearsome defensive wall made up of rows of steel pikes waiting to impale charging foes.

Robert Baratheon's armies made extensive use of Pikemen in the War of the Usurpur, particularly at the Battle of Summerhall. It is said by the bard's roaming Westeros that the greater part of the host of Lord Fell broke upon the Pikemen of Robert's army that day, and that news of their performance broke the spirits of Grandison and Cafferen, causing them to bend the knee to Baratheon that very day.

Let me know your interest here, and I will PM you in due time.

Cheers

We are full on writers for the time-being, so please don't PM me at the moment!

If we need more be assured I shall inform you on here.

[Fingon NL]

[Heart of Madness]

Ha ha, for certain!

Hey folks,

I now need some more writers to do character biographies. Many of the main characters are done, so this is quite boring work. You'll only need to write a couple of lines for minor characters however, and you'll get credited on the mod! And maybe I'll send you a cake in the post, we'll see...

Let me know via PM!

[TouchyAndalou]

I have to say, good luck to whoever is writing the Frey biogs:

"Walder Frey, 29th born son of Walder Frey, younger brother to 14 Walders, husband of Walda and father to Walder, Walder and Waldo."

I think it'll probably be me doing it

[Somalipirate]

Hi, i'm a massive ASOIAF fan, i'd love to do some of the character bios

[Sandy]

Hi murfmurf, Im a big fan of the books (and the game!) and would be happy to do any of the character bios if you still need someone.

[Murfmurf]

Might be a couple of slots left. I'll PM you tomorrow if that's alright; have to check the extent of what's been done and then it's Friday 'n' all

[Hargrimm]

Another volunteer here; I've found myself with quite a bit of free time recently, and I'm now in my 4th read-through of all the books, so I'm definitely available for any writing you need done. Been following progress on this mod eagerly for quite some time, and I'd be ecstatic to do anything I can to help bring it to fruition quickly.

[jazstl]

Is threre a deadline for characters?

[Murfmurf]

Thanks for the interest guys I'll have a check through what needs doing and PM people. There isn't a deadline as such, jazstl, but if I need to hear from the writers every few days so I know what's actually being worked on

Anyone who's posted above I'll get back to you, but recruitment is now closed for the forseeable future!

Mercí beaucoup

[Murfmurf]

I think I've PM'd you all. If not please re-PM me

[daddytorgo]

Nice to see that some of my more generic descriptions are still being used it appears!!

How's this mod doing??

[Donald o' the Sixes]

I'd be down to help with character bios (or maybe something else, too).

[Murfmurf]

How's this mod doing??

Pretty good! Should have some more stuff to show you guys before Christmas, with any luck!

I'd be down to help with character bios (or maybe something else, too).

They're all done and dusted now I'm afaid! I'll let people know in this thread if we need more help again.

[daddytorgo]

That's great! One of my biggest regrets was that I was so overcommitmented before and I kept trying to be involved with the mod, but through a combination of a slow time with the rest of the team demotivating me to a degree, and my own overcommitment, I wasn't able to do more.
