Figure I might as well have a new post for the ones I am getting a little stuck on. (I can only come up with so many ways to say something, you know?)

The first one I need help on is...

Double-sided

To be totally honest, not sure what it's supposed to mean.

      ?????????????

  • AmarillysAmarillys
    Yes, and that has crossed my mind, but not sure if that's the case for what its supposed to be considering dual wielding something like that seems unlikely. Any comments, @Sarapis?

    Double-sided is restricted to blunt weapons, so it's more like this: http://www.darkknightarmoury.com/images/PRODUCT/large/887008_1_.png

    It's probably not the greatest descriptor.

    Anyway to restrict it to just hammers and axes? A double-sided flail doesn't make much sense but a double-sided warhammer and a double-sided axe do.

    Nope, no way to do that. Maybe that descriptor just needs removing. I'll make it so!
  • AmarillysAmarillys
    Also, ignoring the colours, I have 26 left to go.

    blue     - An oceanic hue suffuses the length of this $thing.
    green   - The lively verdant of spring adorns this $thing.
    orange - A fiery orange hue bathes this $thing.
    yellow  - A pale yellowed surface bequeaths a fragile appearance to this $thing
    Red      - Bright red gleams off the every surface of this $thing.
    purple  -A royal purple adorns this $thing with subdued hints of regalness.
    violet   - Reminiscent of lilacs in bloom, the colour of this $thing is simple but elegant. 
    pink     -A garish pink unashamedly adorns the surface of $thing.
    brown  -Unmistakable, earthly tones bathe this $thing.
    white   -The understated beauty of white bequeaths a frigid appearance upon this $thing.

    Still missing a fair few, but curious as to whether that style would be acceptable or if it needs toning down in some shape or form. @Sarapis?

    And you won't understand the cause of your grief...


    ...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.

  • SarapisSarapis
    Those all look fine to me, Shirszae.
  • AmarillysAmarillys
    Okay, so three I cannot figure out.

    Western
    Southern
    Peshwari

    I'mma drop those for now and see if someone else can get them. 



  • AmarillysAmarillys
    edited January 2015
    Annnnd I quit for the night! These last few are bothering me. I'll drop a complete list (excluding colours 'cuz @Shirszae says she's got them) and hope in the morning the fairies have finished my work for me, if not I'll get it done before work. Sorry I didn't get it done today like I said I would. :(



    southern
    western
    Peshwari
    vicious
    glorious
    devastating
    overpowering
    colossal
    extravagant
    massive
    mighty
    exquisite
    indomitable

    They're all pretty high level so feel free to have some fun with them. Basic rule as far as I can tell is to keep them to a single sentence.



  • KyrraKyrra Australia
    Pretty sure the northern, western, and southern are to do with cities without blatantly saying Ashtani, Mhaldorian, or Cyrenese.
    (D.M.A.): Cooper says, "Kyrra is either the most innocent person in the world, or the girl who uses the most innuendo seemingly unintentionally but really on purpose."

  • ShirszaeShirszae Santo Domingo
    There are already styles for the cities. Duplicating them would be kind of pointless, I think. 

    And you won't understand the cause of your grief...


    ...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.

  • TharvisTharvis The Land of Beer and Chocolate!
    could base northern on Tsol'dasi style, western for.. blackrock, maybe? and then southern foor... moghedu theme?
    Aurora says, "Tharvis, why are you always breaking things?!"
    Artemis says, "You are so high maintenance, Tharvis, gosh."
    Tecton says, "It's still your fault, Tharvis."

  • ShirszaeShirszae Santo Domingo
    I think it would be better to just make it general in a regional manner. Northern as in Tundra. Western as in... Whatever is west beside Mhaldor. East for whatever beside Targossas. And same with Southern. I say this because it would be better if Tsol'dasi, Moghedan, and such styles were introduced specifically as such at a later point, perhaps gained as part of a quest

    And you won't understand the cause of your grief...

    Depends on the comms, and what not. I mean if it's made out of Iron and say obsidian, then you've got a dark looking blade with a bluish tinged and sleek.

    I meant I quoted her short of list things she was stuck on and filled in which comms they take incase it will help her come up with something.

    bah my immersion, was thinking of grey as troll boogers and not...vibrant...storm clouds
    And as he slept he dreamed a dream, and this was his dream.
  • AmarillysAmarillys
    Ugh, these last six are killing me.



  • DanithDanith
    Real disappointed in you.
  • AmarillysAmarillys
    Sorry! Almost done! Just waiting on the last of the colours from @Shirszae.



  • MelodieMelodie Port Saint Lucie, Florida
    Don't let Danith tease you, he's just being a butt. You're doing fine!
    And I love too                                                                          Be still, my indelible friend
    That love soon might end                                                         You are unbreaking
    And be known in its aching                                                      Though quaking
    Shown in this shaking                                                             Though crazy
    Lately of my wasteland, baby                                                 That's just wasteland, baby
  • AmarillysAmarillys
    Really just have the last eight colours which Zae says is coming along. Ellodin helped me with the ones I was stuck on, so we'll be ready to go very soon! You know, assuming they're good enough and I'm not 100% sure I should have been the one doing this after I did it because I feel like there's a lot better people for this sort of work.
