New Forum now for The Rifter® Zero.x.x Project

Seeing that Matthew/ Prince Artemis is going forward with Rifter 0.1, and that it is a semi-official Palladium project, I figured a dedicated forum for the Rifter Zero project would be a great idea. Well here it is.

Peace.

This is most excellent. The first in the Palladium PDF product lines then.

There's a reason...and a very good one...that I have certain people in this forum blocked both here and on Facebook.

I can see an illustration of that nearly every time I come here.

Truthfully, unless someone else does it, this will likely be the last one from me. The only reason I'm doing this one is I'm still unemployed, but I'll likely have a job by the time this one is done and I don't think I can handle doing this, my work, and my own writting.

I don't think so, as the first issue would be the beta test version.

Actually, in scientific terms, it also relates a higher degree of accuracy...

i.e. 0.1 can range from 0.06 to 0.14, where as 0.10 ranges from 0.096 to 0.104

I don't know why it wasn't "e-Rifter 1" or something to indicate it's electronic version.
It's not really being versioned after all.

What's the purpose of doing new ones as decimal points instead of adding more to the numbers?

The fact that there is no number above one indicates it's part of the digital line of Rifters?

Best suggestions I've seen, especially since there might not be any more.

Ending at 0.2 seems odd, like a failure of a larger pattern, but ending at 00 or 0[sup]2[/sup] seems like it wasn't meant to go much farther.

i like the Rifter 0[sub]2[/sub] approach. Rifter 0[sup]2[/sup] has mathmatical connotations that might be a bit odd. (zero times itself? multiplying by zero is impossible, and zero times anything is nothing..)

whereas Rifter 0[sub]2[/sub] gets chemical connotations, as in "two atoms of [element]"

Yes but with the proper volunteer team, being that the first online Rifter was done by one person, well, we could get something going and gain the experience that Palladium deserves. I really believe that those that enjoy the product as most all of us do could figure out something.

The next one could be Rifter 00, then 000, etc. Or if that takes up too much room, use a superscript or a subscript, the first is Rifter 0, then Rifter 0[sup]2[/sup], then 0[sup]3[/sup], etc, or Rifter 0, then Rifter 0[sub]2[/sub], 0[sub]3[/sub], etc. (I just don't like 0 indexing, and having a 1, even a 0.1, to indicate the second issue just makes it seem way too nerdy).
I love the idea of a superscript/subscript. That would allow for the online Rifter (eRifter) to carry on with a bunch of Rifters without taking away from the term Rifter #0.

What!! You got to be kidding. This is a beautiful creation.

I agree, but I imagine it's also quite time-consuming, as well.
Yes but with the proper volunteer team, being that the first online Rifter was done by one person, well, we could get something going and gain the experience that Palladium deserves. I really believe that those that enjoy the product as most all of us do could figure out something.

I'll admit, I'm willing to do some Editting (I seem to have a knack for it).

I'm sorry I missed Artemis' comment. Don't drop it! Find the time. Folks will remember you for it, but mainly and especially if you keep your hand in it. If you don't have enough time, delegate. Make it a spare time project if you must, or better yet take on the "executive" producer" power, just don't let it pass.


It's mostly a wait and see type of thing at this point. I won't be doing more than one a year regardless. Even though we have a system in place this time it'll still take a while. It usually takes 2 months just to get the submissions, let alone their forms. Then I gotta read everything to see if it works, send it to palladium with the forms. They do a quality control check and tell me what I can't use. Then I have to edit each piece, then put them into the magazine itself, then adjust sizes and format to make it fit. At some point I start getting some art as well which needs to be added to fill space and make it not look dull. Then I get it formated, do up table of contents, my opening letter, my own submissions (I usually wait to see why I get before doing my own stuff) and then send a rough to palladium for them to check over. They then start sending out the contracts and if there are corrections needed they send me the list, I make the changes, send them the new copy and then go through the version again with them over the phone to make sure it works, and make changes as needed.

Yeah, it can be time consuming...

If I end up in a job with high turn out for articles and that, I may not be able to keep it going. However, like the show I will try and do it until it basically becomes impossible to do.

My place of employment seems to think I can edit since they allow me to tutor English...

I have some time to proof read some of the material. Though I have no real skills in editing (except in my own stuff) I would be willing to help in any way possible.

Wasn't TheRifter.com supposed to be something along the lines that Rifter 0 is?
"Things aren't what they used to be" is the rallying cry of small minds. When men say things used to be better, they invariably mean they were better for them, because they were young, and had all their hopes intact. The world is bound to look a darker place as you slide into the grave.

Yes/No

It was an area that people could submit there own stuff but they wouldn't be edited together in an actual organized book with art.

So its a mass Rifter for those that like to have their stuff in a "Rifter"
