page: Masked Rider Ryuki

[durendal]

This is the discussion topic for the wiki article: Masked Rider Ryuki

[durendal]

This will be the next installment of the PTW (Project Toku Wiki). I selected Ryuki since this will be the next series that I will be watching. Will update the page as I progress with watching the show. Feel free to edit mercilessly.

i've got an idea durendal.

I really wouldn't want this series to be spoiled for you, so maybe you could edit another page until you finish watching masked rider ryuki?

or take a break.

[*Jess♥]

it's not the same as any spoiler for kabuto or other series.

the story in this is very good and lots of potential for it to be ruined.

sorry to be a pain

[durendal]

No worries, spoilers doesn't really bother me. Its effect on me is quite the opposite actually. When I find out something, the more I want to see it. Why don't I try something different here. Maybe I'll work from bottom up.

[*Jess♥]

that's what i meant though, it's not like other spoilers. it's more to do with the character development.

it's hard to explain, it's not anything like a cool thing like a amazing rider move or something like that.

it's nothing like any of the spoilers on any other show and i wouldn't say this if it wasn't important.

I mean, hurricangers is my favourite super sentai and i would not have told you not to read the page for that, there are spoilers but i think that is not anything major.

but this one, I would say please not to read about it.

i can't force you obviously but i really love this show so much, and I really want you to enjoy it fully.

let me give an example. I assume you've seen fight club, but i will put a spoiler tag over it anyway.

if you knew that tyler durden was both edward norton and brad pitt, you would not be able to enjoy the movie as it was originally intended. you would not have the same view of the characters from the offset. some spoilers can completely ruin a program or movie. not like transformers, optimus prime gets a power up from that other guy. not really a movie ruining spoiler.

well i won't say anymore about it, If I can't persuade you now, I should respect your choice.

[durendal]

Okay then. I'll stop editing and watch it first.

Maybe I should do one of the Showa riders. V3 seems to be a good series.

[*Jess♥]

ah, I'm really happy

I don't know much about V3, I'd be curious to see something about that.

well I don't know much about any of the showa riders really.

I'll make a point of reading whatever you do next.

I can learn something about them and this time since i don't know about it, I might remain interested and end up doing some editing to help out.

[durendal]

Now I'm convinced, Masked Rider Knight is really BATMAN!!

[*Jess♥]

ha ha, i see what you mean XD

[durendal]

Alright, I've finished watching all 50 episodes of Ryuki. So in the end, all those deaths meant nothing, since everything was reset back to zero.

[*Jess♥]

do you see why i asked you not to get a spoiler?

what happened to shinji really tore me apart, the strongest moment in any rider series for me

[durendal]

Wow, even after watching the series, there's a lot of things that I didn't know. There seems to be a TV special that has an entirely different settings for the characters, like Ren being a close friend of Tezuka.

Might take me a while to finish this. The character bio's are sorta long, and spoiler-full. Will have to consider splitting this into a separate page once I'm done. Also, I seem to be having difficulty searching for pictures. The usual site I take my pictures from (Hero Time, it's an official japanese site with information regarding Heisei Riders and Sentai) doesn't seem to have suitable sized pictures.

[*Jess♥]

oh dear, well would screenshots be better?

[durendal]

Sorry, correction, I get my images from Toei Hero Net. see here: http://www.toeihero.net/archive/index.shtml

The reason why I get pictures from that site is because the images are unique, and they do special poses with clean images. Most of the images in Blade were taken from that site.

So I don't think screenshots would be sufficient as it would be difficult to find a clear whole image of the riders. Not to mention a lot of wasted space. Don't worry, I'll manage.

[*Jess♥]

wow that site is very amazing!

I like it a lot!

I just had a little look at some super sentai pages.

good stuff.

[durendal]

I'm glad that you approve of the link.

I'm done with the character bio's. I guess I really need to split it up, but I'll do that after I find some nice images for the characters.

The individual rider profile seems to be a little bit intimidating.

[*Jess♥]

yeah there are a lot of them and there is so much to be said!

[durendal]

Found some decent pictures of the cast, split the characters into another page, and updated the KR template to include characters, riders, and advent cards.

[durendal]

After editing a few riders profile, doesn't look too intimidating anymore. My predicament now would be what to do next. Should I watch Kuuga, or jump to re-edit the Decade page? I'm still deciding what to do next since the discussion tab in the wiki page doesn't let you create new threads yet. Will this feature be removed or will it be retained after the software update?

[*Jess♥]

as soon as the software creator get's his butt in gear, it'll be sorted.

also the tab in hte forum for the wiki should be functional once that programmer sorts it out.

it's annoying because on his site he says he is stuck on the skin. we don't even use the ipbwiki skin.

I don't see why he can't release a beta with all features apart from the skin working.

[durendal]

Woot! Finished the rider pages, split them into their own page and added pictures. I'll have to admit, the pictures are somewhat small. That's the best consistent pictures that I can get.

[*Jess♥]

looks great!

maybe i can embed teh characters and riders into the same page later on using template type thing.

[durendal]

Although there's only a few more infos needed to finish this page, I have to apologize as I will be taking a few breather before I can finish this. And obviously there hasn't been any update on this. Somethings come up that prevents me on concentrating on this. Hopefully by next week I can resume work on this again.

[*Jess♥]

since we were talking about it in here, durendal, the ipbwiki pridge had an update relesed. the discussion topics should work properly now.
