wth is starcraft

The subject matter doesn't matter too much. Its just a NaNoWriMo novel, so it may be abandoned in a couple months anyways. Its a fantasy novel. Should I add a prophecy?

Posting in here to ask about things to include or not include in your NaNoWriMo sort of defeats the whole purpose of the NaNoWriMo.

:P



None.

Yes, but then add another completely contradicting prophecy, and have both of them come true.



None.

Not really. Have you ever visited the NaNoWriMo forums? 90% of it is filled with writers asking for advice.

And the over-arching goal of the NaNoWriMo contest is to get quantity not quality. It is designed to test your creativity and efficiency in simply getting words onto the paper - 50,000 words in a month.



None.

Um really, its about having fun. And this is fun to me. :P Sure, its nice to write down 50k words in a month, but I won't have a problem doing that. I hope I surpass it.

Man Cardinal, you just like picking fights with me lol

Not picking fights, its just my way of offering constructive criticism!

If you really need a poll, and peoples' yes/no answer on a topic as generic and bland as 'should there be a prophecy' - telling us absolutely nothing else about the novel... then I begin to question your commitment to the NaNoWriMo.

If 2000 people voted Yes, and 50 people voted No. Would it really affect whether or not you put a 'prophecy' in your novel? It shouldn't. It is your novel, and you decide how it goes.



None.

FFS just vote. You're being ridiculous.

If you add a prophecy, you can write more words. There you go.

Something as silly as a poll can affect the way the novel is written in silly ways.

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition
[02:29 am]
Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?
[12:32 pm]
Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
