Talk:PAW Timelines/Character Timeline
While your contribution is appreciated Shadow, to avoid making this page excessively long once more people are added I was thinking a format similar to the one used in the PAW Collab:
Name
(Username's Character)
- Age at onset of TFOR
- Date at onset of TFOR
- Species
- Powers
- Height
- Weight
Description

Yeah - I was trying for something like that but wasn't really paying attention as I pushed out the relevant data. And you missed 'Enter a Wolf' by Oberon - Scott is one half of a discussion between war vets in that story :) -- ShadowWolf 03:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC) (added 'Enter a Wolf' (finally) -- ShadowWolf 07:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC))
- Not all of the bits in the above layout are needed. For key characters or characters likely to be mentioned in passing in stories, they should all be there to give the authors an extra leg-up. -- ShadowWolf 07:42, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- There's a line near the end of your bio that says, "he is hiding in Polyton because he used as one of the heroes for the NAR." It seems like there's supposed to be something between "he" and "used". -- Lloyd
Umm...hey guys, just dropping a note. Wouldn't it be much more practical if next to "Age of TFOR onset" you also added "Date of TFOR onset"? Like Scott's, which says November 2009. If only the age of onset is stated, it tells me little or nothing about when TFOR occurred, making it difficult to line up stories. Just saying. —Drake 13:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds good. I'll add it to the template. --Lloyd 15:49, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Scott's bounty
Is "$2bn" supposed to mean two billion? Because, no offense, it seems a little far fetched that in the middle of the Collapse the Canadian government would be able to spare that much to reward whoever killed a singled (albeit probably very annoying) soldier. --Lloyd
- It was not a single bounty, but a collection of them, the largest of which was for "The TFOR's sufferer who..." with a couple of acts known to have been committed by that person. It was for $5 million CDN - though, as noted in Enter a Wolf the bounty rapidly reached a combined total of $1 billion CDN and his superiors promoted him from Sergeant to Lieutenant. And no bounty would be paid to a member of the military - these were to try and get the populace to turn against him.
- In the end he had somewhere close to 200 different bounties on him, placed after different members of the Canadian (standard and "extended") Military petitioned Parliament. Since it seemed pointless to make the distinction in the character description, I let it drop. If you still feel that a government doing that just doesn't fit, I'll drop the total count of all bounties down to one half of its current level, but I can drop it no further without requiring at least one existing story to be changed. -- ShadowWolf 01:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- No, it's fine as is, 200 different bounties adding up makes more sense than the single one I thought it was. --Lloyd
Bah,I know this seems like I'm nitpicking (I'm really not, I swear!) but I'm thinking about including the bounties in my next story so I did some math and for 200 to add up to 2 billion each would have to be worth around $10 million, which I don't see as plausible, especially in a wartime scenario. --Lloyd 10:23, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
- They never expected to have to pay them out, since they expected him to be killed by one of their soldiers. And you can't take an average or think that wartime means people act sanely. In this case he had caused that much trouble for them and it wasn't all the Canadians promising the bounties. Some were from other groups that he'd had contact with. But as I said, I can easily drop the total, though it'll require changes to at least one story if I go under the billion mark. -- ShadowWolf 16:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
