Legends of the Hidden Temple: Rebirth-Layouts & Episo...

[The Bandit King]

Now for some dirt on Season 2:

I'll probably need a few weeks to start preparing stuff, so bear with me. Even though they're listed in alphabetical order, I will be posting the episodes in production order, so that adds some spice to the mix. As for differences in the two seasons, they're practically nonexistent, except for a few things:

?   There are now two small "torches" on either side of Olmec. Actually, they're those little lamps with fans in them that blow up pieces of fabric that look like fire. I forget what they're called...
?   Kirk now interviews each contestant prior to the Temple Games, as opposed to just telling their names or giving interesting facts about them.
?   The little quips Olmec gives right before explaining the first Temple Game? Gone now.
?   Two words: MORE PLANTS.

Expect a new Season 2 episode within about two or three weeks. Until then, remember: it's not just Legends. IT'S LEGENDS: REBIRTH, JABRONIS!!!

Was the Jim Bowie loss closer than the Icarus loss?

Was the Jim Bowie loss closer than the Icarus loss?

Yes, it was.

NEWS FLASH

We are drawing ever-closer to the premiere of Season 2. I plan to start it up around the middle of the month, so be on the lookout. I'll announce something here before I start, which could be at any time in the very near future. Once the episodes start, there'll be a new one posted about every week or so. I may slow down once I go back to college, but even then, I should be able to find time to do these, and even if I miss a week, I don't think it will matter too much. Keep your eyes peeled!

I said I'd post the first S2 episode yesterday, but I was out of the house and couldn't get online. In retrospect, I think it's a blessing in disguise, because I may want to post these episodes in installments (as in one per week, on a specific day of the week). Wednesday is the day I'm setting aside for posting each episode. Look for the first one in three days!

[The Bandit King]

Drumroll please! The long-awaited first episode of Season 2 is...

"The Secret Code of the Condemned Pirate"!

Tune in every Wednesday night from here on out for another new episode!

*Slaps self in the face*

I can't believe I haven't posted my "Tournament of Champions" Temple layout yet.  ops:

BTW, I'm pretty close to announcing the voting for it, so be on the lookout!

[The Bandit King]

Well, I'm afraid I have some very bad news. Before I get to that, let me explain to you my situation:

All my Legends episodes are saved on a Word document on a flash drive. Every time I go to post a new episode, I access this document and post what I need. Capeesh?

Well, I checked a few hours ago, and this document...is GONE. I have no idea how it could've gotten deleted...I was just on it this morning, and didn't even save the thing. This means that all the Moat Crossings, Temple Games, Temple Diagrams, Temple Run stats, and win/victory ratios of all the episodes I have yet to post here are kaput.

So what does this mean? Well, if anyone knows how to retrieve a deleted document from a flash drive, PLEASE let me know. If not, it's definitely going to take a lot of time, research, and brain-racking to replace what I lost. I imagine it may take at least a month to get things back on track.

I deeply apologize to anybody who got their hopes up for something posted regularly from now on. It's a bad situation, but I intend to press on...

[karmew32]

Your file had a one in a million chance of dying, and it almost survived, too....

Sorry, but I don't know how to retrieve documents from a flash drive.

UPDATE

Like a phoenix from the ashes, I'm back to bring good news.

I have been making good progress writing up the remaining six episodes for S2 L1. I plan to start posting again as soon as I finish the last episode of this particular layout. However, I don't know how long it'll take me...judging by how long it took me to re-write the four I've already finished, they could all be finished as soon as the end of this month or as late as the middle of next month. Still, I'm much better off than I was at this time five weeks ago.

Also, I've created a backup of each episode in case you-know-what ever happens again. :wink:

[The Bandit King]

Wednesday, November 10, 2010 is the day I've set aside to start posting episodes again. Once I finish up S2 L1, I'll be taking a short break before writing any more.

However, after S2 L2, the voting will officially be open for my "Tournament of Champions"! Make sure to pick out your 16 favorite episodes from the first 66 episodes and send 'em to me! :wink:

[The Bandit King]

In case you missed it yesterday, my new episode is already up. Expect new ones every Wednesday from now until further notice.

[The Bandit King]

In case you missed it, there was no new episode last week due to my getting home for the holidays.  I had originally planned to put it up over the weekend, but I had to scrap that idea due to my family's trip to Gatlinburg earlier today.  So look for my next episode on Wednesday, December 15.

[The Bandit King]

Well, tonight marks the last episode of Layout 1 in Season 2.  Hope you enjoy it...because I'm planning on taking a little break.  New episodes will resume sometime around the end of January, if all goes well with my planning.  Also, the voting for my first annual Legends: Rebirth Tournament of Champions will be coming VERY soon...a lot sooner than you might think, actually. :wink:

Until then, enjoy the episodes, and I'll see you in 2011!

[The Bandit King]

Happy new year, everybody! I just popped in here to announce two things:

The new episodes have been bumped up to the middle of January: Wednesday, January 19th, to be exact. So look out for the newest batch of episodes.

*cracks knuckles* Now for the bigger, more exciting news...

Voting for the Tournament of Champions teams is now OPEN.  Yes, I'm holding it a little early because I felt that starting it after this next batch of episodes would leave too many choices for teams; not to mention the dismal output of my last "choose the episodes" poll taught me to give these things enough time to be voted on.  Yeah, I really bombed on that one...but I digress.

Vote for 16 teams from the first 53 episodes (from "The Infamous Lion Skin of the Tsavo Hunter" up to "The Unused Chains of Red Legs Greaves") that you feel performed the best overall in these first 53 fics.  Like the voting for TAW's, you can vote for any team, as long as they made it to Olmec's Temple.  The voting starts right now, and ends whenever I post the final episode before the Tournament.  So choose your 16 teams wisely, and PM or e-mail me your choices.  See you soon!
