My Story Comes to Fruition

Posted by EagleRock - July 30th, 2007


Well, here I am again...

Since 90% of the people that are gonna read this are in the Elite Guard Barracks anyway, I might as well post about it.

I always wanted to do a Battle Royale type story since the real classic ones (like MasterMind's and BlueFlameSkulls') were on Newgrounds (about a year ago). I was going to do the big Counter-Strike battle and make it CT vs. T, allowing whoever to post until I had a good 50 people. I even drafted up my first post, but I never posted it on General.

Then, a while later, I thought about making an Elite Guard story. However, I wanted to keep the CS theme. I could never really find a good way to hook the EGB story into the CS story, until the redesign. Then, the whole story hit me overnight. I was able to see a beginning, middle, and end, without any hitches. By the time I posted Chapter 2, it was golden.

I know I've gotten criticism that I don't know what's going to happen, but I assure you that I do. There are an exact number of matches, who dies, who survives, etc. I don't know exactly which people are surviving...I have to feel some of them out. Also, depending on how long some of the matches are (and the talking and side stories in the middle), the size could really fluctuate. However, the story is all there, and it just needs to be fleshed out.

If you aren't familiar with the story and are intrigued, hit up the EGB forums at this thread:

Barracks Under Fire Story

I update there as well as in the EGB thread. I was AWOL for a few days, so I am a couple chapters behind. However, I plan on submitting at least 2 chapters tonight to make up.

Till next time...
