Knightmare Transcripts: Interested?
-
Yes, I think it would be a good idea to have detailed episode guides (like the above) on the website. And yes it would probably be better to have a separate text file for each. Perhaps they could be eventually all zipped together and people can download them.
If anyone decides to write any, the best way to submit them is to e-mail it to me and I'll stick it on the site.
-
Yay, thanks Illusion! When I complete an episode I'll put it in a text file then e-mail it to you like you suggest. I've finished the first ep of Series 6 so I'll send you it first once it's in text format.
Does anyone else want to help me undertake this mammoth task - apart from BillyH? It means we can get the job done quicker...please? I'd be grateful!
-
Hi Velda. Well done, it's a great idea. I remember you mentioning the idea before, and you really did it! Kudos to you.
I've got a few ideas/etc., also after having checked your KM dictionary type thingumy. Mind if I IM them to you?
No, fire away! The only prob is that I've only got two days left at the course the site was made in so I'll have to be quick! I'd do it at home but I don't have ftp.
Still, I'll try 'cause I'd like to see a bit more there myself. -
You talk to yuor selft bicause of that too?
And I thought I was the only one -
I'm happy to help out with S4 scripts. It's not my favourite series, but one I have access to, and is always grand to watch and listen to closely as ever.
Not set up a Bristol Uni Knightmare fan club yet, but keep mentionning it in passing. Had S4 on the other day, and a guy from my block came in my room, and promptly screeched and left... I tried explaining that S4 wasn't the most sinister ever - but he just remembered KM scaring the living daylights (sorry, listening to A-Ha right now) out of him. Amusement. Anyhow, fingers up for helping out S4 wise.

This transcription is a great achievement - all the more since you enjoy doing it! Well done.
Note for anyone who comes to transcribe any Latin (from Hordriss, Brother Mace et al): If you get stuck, write it down phonetically and no doubt there will be Classicists available to check it (I for one!)
-
Assuming I can get my video working I could do a transcript of some of Series 8. That would include the final episode.
Majida: So it ends for them yes?
Treguard: For them yes, for us no.
But it did end.

Finger up as a classicist. Series 4 will not be a problem as far as that goes. Am studying English and Latin. Was just itching on the one occasion when Mace 'asks' - I don't suppose you speak any latin? - The thought at 14/15 of saying 'Oh, well, a little, yes!' Heh.. might have knocked the rosters a bit. Even correcting the pronounciation of 'iocus', which I think is wrong. Still, Mace was arguably my fav. in-dungeon character in S4 anyhow, apart from 'one's' old favourite, Magister Veneficus, Hordriss.
Hehe, what a splendid way to study latin; learning from KM. Bet you Virgil would have quivered in his old bare feet at Mace's res gestae tabernae.
Sempiternam requiem, and all that.
-
Majida: So you never giver up, ever!
Treguard: Well I will if he will. Shall we find out
Picks up and looks through spy glass
LORD FEAR! LORD FEAR; ARE YOU READY TO SURRENDER?
Lord Fear: WHAT! ME SURRENDER! YOU MUST BE ABSOLUTELY OUT OF YOUR TINY MIINNNDDDEERRRR

Salve! Good to hear from a fellow Classicist. I'm actually a graduate of the fine subject, now doing a Masters looking at Ovid. (Let me know how your own studies shape up.) I'm intending to start an 'anyone do Classics?' thread on here at some point, as I've always found that knowing about the Ancient Greek and Roman takes on 'fantasy' enriches the experience of watching Knightmare. Arguably, without the Aeneid, there'd be no Middle-Earth, no Galaxy Far Far Away, no Hogwarts, and no Knightmare as we know them!
So, there you go: at least 2 Latinists prepared to assist with fine-tuning the transcriptiones!

jumps up and down Majida-style
RedMage, of course you can help me by doing S4 - hehe, this is great! And with you and Drassil knowing Latin well that's really cool 'cause you'll have no prob with all that Latin. There's no way I'd be able to spell it correctly, lol!
Well here's a list of people so far up for doing scripts:
Motley - Series 3
RedMage/KaM - Series 4
BillyH - Series 7
PummiesterWhitely - Series 8
And I'm attempting Series 6. That just leaves Series 1, 2 and 5.

puts hand up Another Classicist graduate here! Joint MA in English Literature and Classical Civilizations. However, since it's a joint Honours, I didn't do a language. I wanted to do Latin, but the workload with English was just too high. Ah well.
Anyway, back on topic. I could transcribe Series 2 and 5 for you, but it might take a while.

I have all these teams on my video:
Series 3, Team 2
Series 3, Team 3
Series 3, Team 10
Series 3, Team 12
Series 4, Team 5
Series 4, Team 6
Series 4, Team 7 (Very Little)
Series 4, Team 8 (Including End of Season)
I sit on my PC while watching Knightmare, so I can therefore write out the scripts. How do you all think? Is there anyone else doing these series?

Would you? Ooh, thanks! This is great, all these scripts being written collectively! It'll take a while but it'll be worth it when we get to read them in full, hehe!
-
Velda, I think you're doing an excellent job at this. If you want any help, I can act out the part of Hordriss the Confuser from Series 3 if that's any help at all? I remember every single line he said throughout that series. What do you say? Is that any help?

Hordriss made his first appearance during team 3's adventure, he appeared in the wall of the Level 2 clue room. He was giving an evil sort of laugh, but never said anything.
During team 4's adventure, Leo was on a narrow bridge with a piece of bread ahead of him. Hordriss appears.
Hordriss - "Stop! You really can not pass, you know. Not before someone of higher breeding such as myself, oh no. You'll just have to go back. Or, perhaps, ha ha ha ha, go down!"
Treguard explains to the team about who he is, and who's side he's NOT on. Then warns Leo he must find some way to impress Hordriss, becuase if he senses weakness, he could turn nasty.
Hordriss - (After a few seconds.) "You have offended my dignity. Prepare to meet your end."
James (Adviser #3) - "Leo, show no fear."
Leo - "I'm not frightened of you."
Hordriss - "Ha ha ha ha, are you not? What particular action can you prove to me you're not scared?"
Treguard - "You need action, team."
Hordriss - "This is too tiresome. You have offended me. If you can not show respect, then I'll just have to show you some. (Raises his hand.) Rise, please."
Matthew (Adviser #1) - "Spell casting. S W O R D."
A sword appears in front of Hordriss.
Hordriss - "Oh, well, there's really no need to take that sort of attitude, you know. If you really feel that strong about it, then, I'm quite happy to draw my respects to you, sir. The path is all yours."
-
Hodriss made another appearance during team 10's adventure. Julie entered the room in Level 2 with five doors, and the floor and ceiling looking the same. Hordriss was sitting at a table writing in a book.
Hordriss - "Ahhh, yes, the next one. Please, do... come and sit down. Nothing to be afraid of."
Julie sits down at the table.
Hordriss - "Now, then, this won't take a moment. Name first, please."
Julie tells him her name.
Hordriss - "Julie. (Writes her name down.) And, your purpose of being, Julie, what are you questing for?"
Julie - "The sword."
Hordriss - "The sword. (Writes The sword down.) Well, that all seems clear enough, one can give you a trial. I don't suppose you realise, Julie, that if you go beyond this point, you're likely to meet a dreadful fate. Does that worry you?"
Julie laughs as though she didn't hear that.
Hordriss - "Ha ha. Well, never mind, let's get on. Listen very carefully, Julie. The doors behind me are numbered, 1 - 5. From the right hand, as you're looking at them, to the left. Which is, of course, on my extreme right. Now, all the evenly numbered doors are deadly. Except the one to the left, which is merely dangerous. Whilst all the odd numbered doors are safe. Except the one on the extreme right. It's also considered most perilless to go straight ahead. There, that couldn't be clearer, could it? Oh, yes by the way, nothing to do with the immediate problem, but the third step is stretch. There, next please."
