I moved to Idaho a few weeks back, so I'm entitled to the following bad pun: commentator, you are no common tater! Sorry, had to do it...
Doomy, commentator and Taryn: In the credts page for Seventh Sense, would you prefer your forum names be used, or your real name? If you prefer your real name, you can just PM me, so it's not floating on the forum.
(Dave really is my real name, but there are enough of those out there that it's practically anonymous!)

My real name is used for my other PA credits, I'd like to be consistent. I signed the first PM I sent you.

I'll take Book 6 if it's still available.
Do you want short, one sentence descriptions like everyone's been giving you? I guess I'm spoiled with Oblivion and Morrowind with their longer entries and might make them a little more fleshed out.

I'll take Book 6 if it's still available. Do you want short, one sentence descriptions like everyone's been giving you? I guess I'm spoiled with Oblivion and Morrowind with their longer entries and might make them a little more fleshed out. It is still available and I'll put you down for it. It's fine to give it a little more flesh, but try to do so without adding multiple sentences. e.g. Instead of "Ran from guards." this is more fleshed out: "Ran down narrow corridor with guards in pursuit." But this is too much: "Fled from guards down hallway. They were weilding long black swords." (Unless it is somehow really important to mention the black swords - like the snake tatoos in Book 2.) Just use your best judgement, and try to be consistent. Of course, you can add multiple sentences if the length or content of the section warrants it. I would say that most(a simple majority) of the sections could be summarized in one sentence, though. Thanks for volunteering to help!

Edit: Dave, I took the liberty of advertising your request for volunteers on Tower of the Sun. Hope you don't mind. Link. I think your request got deleted... Perhaps it was in the wrong "Tower"? Ah well, we seem to have several PA members interested in helping(Thanks all!), so I think we'll be fine.

Ah well, we seem to have several PA members interested in helping(Thanks all!), so I think we'll be fine. One of the admins must have moved it. It's been put in the North Watch (news and announcements) which is fine by me since only sitestaff can create threads there. Here's the new link.

Oh, great! Thanks, Doomy!
Taryn, thanks for the summaries. Some of them are starting to sound a little bit like newspaper headlines - feel free to use articles. "Hit by a needle", "Hid in a boat", etc. (or "the", if it's referring to something seen in a previous section. e.g. [first section]"Noticed a needle inside the lock." [next section] - "Hit by the needle.")
Okay, maybe I'm being picky, but it'll keep some consistency I hope, and save me some editorial work. Thanks again for your contributions!

Here's the next batch, 201-250. Banedon happens to be my favourite LW character, by the way. Thanks for the summaries. Banedon is like Lone Wolf in magician's clothes - definitely a great character. I would like to help as well.... Which book is still open? Book 7 onwards? Just let me know. Yes, Book 7 onwards is open. You don't need to do them in order, so if you have a favorite you'd like to work on, pick that. Thanks for volunteering! (Let me know which book you'd like to work on, or I'll just sign you up for book 7, if you like.)
