Talk:Monuments

What's this?
There are tons of Monuments in Scroll Wars, each with a unique name and description. But who are these heroes and villains from the rich history of this land?

That's up to you.

This is a chance (one of many that will be available over time) to make a mark on the game's story.

Each user can choose one monument per 1 week period (to allow others to claim some if they want them) to write a history for.

The history should tell of the individual the monument is dedicated to.

Some rules and guidelines:


 * The Monument must exist in the game itself.
 * Don't involve yourself in the history. Come on, now.
 * Don't write a novel. Keep it simple and people will love it, I promise.
 * Think outside the box. Maybe "Venglerik the Tattered" didn't dress shabbily. Maybe he was physically scarred. Maybe he saved an important piece of literature which ended up tattered. Who knows?
 * Don't make everyone a hero or villian. Let's keep it balanced.
 * Write what you want. This is the most important guideline once you follow the others.
 * Feel free to include details such as why the character got their title, or why the monument is what it is... or both... or neither!

Very important: If you plan to write a history, make it known here before you start. That way someone else won't take it while you're thinking/writing.

 * I think I'll write a history for Rochelle Monument as a sort of example. -- Mo Mo(d) 19:06, 20 October 2006 (PDT)


 * Additional guideline: The Monument must be one that exists in game. <_< Heh. Almost missed that interesting loophole. :X -- Mo Mo(d) 21:35, 20 October 2006 (PDT)
 * Aw, and here I was going to make a Monument called the Super Deity Rescue team =P - 21:38, 20 October 2006 (PDT)
 * Ah ha! Good thing I stepped in, then! *stands proudly* heh. -- Mo Mo(d) on pot 21:40, 20 October 2006 (PDT)

Perhaps the "one week" thing was ill advised. -- Mo Mo(d) on pot 15:21, 23 October 2006 (PDT)
 * You only have about 3 more days or so to wait =P Anyway this will give us all something to do later when we can't think of anything to do =) - 21:03, 23 October 2006 (PDT)

<- Hey, I followed the blasted formatting template! Grr... Wiki is insane. I think I am going to consider adding the wikirage sticker to my user page. Hmm. I'm sorry, it's kinda long, but the idea and its explanation into the backstoryways fit to some of the ones that are already there. Yeah, I already did the history part. The templates here >hate< me... ;-( !
 * He he he, try it again using the new instructions. It should be much easier to understand and harder to muck up. - 02:56, 23 November 2006 (PST)

Okay, I'll add that onto my to-do list. Thanks for the tip. :-) Sharp 18:59, 24 November 2006 (PST)

Chumnik Monument
There is a bit of an issue with the Chumnik Monument history. The description of the monument says it's a sword, but the history says it's a statue of Chumnik... unless I'm reading it wrong. -- 15:23, 24 October 2006 (PDT)
 * Good pickup, I wrote that and now I've fixed it. Basicaly the same story but with a few of the words different. I should read the descriptions better ;) - 19:05, 24 October 2006 (PDT)

Forthusker Monument
I felt free to claim it, and am thus writing the history. -- 16:51, 31 October 2006 (PST)

Tarneck Monument
Hey, sorry about writing it before claiming it here, i didn't even look at the discussion section *sheepish* hope it's still all ok... Dean.b.fred 16:54, 3 November 2006 (PST)
 * Don't worry about it at all. I mostly stated that just so folks wouldn't both choose one and write for it before realizing. Doesn't seem to be too hot a topic, so there's absolutely no problem so far. lol -- Mo Mo(d) on pot 22:45, 3 November 2006 (PST)

Merdglast Monument
Ditto about the claiming thing, but I guess it wasn't an issue ~X.

Gutsley Monument
I'll be claiming Gutsley monument then, I'll post mine soon. 11:54, 12 December 2006 (PST)

Nikodemus Monument
I just wanted to "Claim" Nikodemus Monument in Hordon Village. It'll be semi-integral to one of the stories of SW. -- Mo Mo(d) on pot 22:18, 12 December 2006 (PST)

Bullnerg Monument
Is this one important? I'd like to write the story of it.=- 03:07, 19 December 2006 (PST)
 * Go4it -- Mo Mo(d) on pot 17:00, 19 December 2006 (PST)

Steecher Monument
I'd like to claim this one. Any problems with that, Mo? --EJ Wells 15:13, 28 October 2007 (MDT)
 * HOW DARE YOOOUUUUUU. Heh, go right ahead. -- Mo Mo(d) on pot 18:36, 28 October 2007 (MDT)
 * Thanks, Mo. I'll try to not mess it up too much. lol  --EJ Wells 19:10, 28 October 2007 (MDT)
 * WHILE WAITING I DIED -- Mo Mo(d) on pot 22:34, 10 December 2007 (MST)
 * Coming Soon, eh? Perhaps we should clear it and allow for another player to claim it? -- 04:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Yakken Monument
Let's see if we can revive this. I'm writing a history for Yakken. -- 20:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
