I've been wanting to do this for a long time. You guys will probably know that when we plan a new storyline on ACW, we call it an "episode". What I want to do now is to start compiling the entirity of the site in episode summaries - pretty much like what you get when you read them online for normal TV shows. However, the site's coming up for three years old now, and to be honest, my memory sucks butt.

At the moment, all I'm trying to remember is major events in order. This is where you golden members come on. Please give me as much as you can! Here's what I've got.

Episode One (provisionally - this is as early as I can remember):

Main story: Cole kidnaps Andrea Justin and gives them to the Arena. That's pretty much all I remember. I think I remember Charmed Ones being involved, but if anyone wants to tell me what happened with all this, it'd be cool.
Side story: That hilarious joker Kellan kidnaps Piper and manages to turn her into a small child, hijinks ahoy, she turns back to herself probably through someone's spell.

I have no clue if those two occured at the same time...

Episode Two:

Main Story: Carys gets bitten by a vampire, oh that scamp, and everybody's powers get switched. This lets Carys clone herself to create Karen, who is totally badass and cool. They go on a crazy rampage and finally get cured after Petunius, Vince, Luke, and... others... get some sort of Elixer. I wasn't here so fuck if I know.
Side story: ?? when did Hunos appear?

Episode Three:

Main Story: Three's a crowd with Chloe, Carys and Andrea.
Side Story: Fuck knows, this is my shadiest part of memory stuff - maybe I blocked it out due to the horror. How did Justin and Paz break up? I remember them fighting in the arena, then Justin tried to kill Paz there and suddenly they hated each other and Justin killed himself cos he was a weenie. When do Petunius and Phoebe start eyeing each other?

Episode Four:

Main Story: Paz accepts evil powers from Ganondorf cos he is a bad ass muthafucka. and is the indirect killer of Luke.
Side Story: The Odd Squad arrives and many people find themselves attracted to a necklace in a cave. Moony makes like a badass and takes Andrea's power for the Source. Azura shows up too and goes through all this crazy shit with Cora. Luke becomes Azura's whitelighter. Andy gets Azura and Luke's help to get her power back - and a whole bunch of evil powers.

Episode Five:

Main Story: Oz! Carys gets chucked off a bridge a lot and Dante reveals there is no man behind the curtain. This jets them back into the real world where many people get hit by sin balls.
Side Story: Andrea absorbs evil powers. Patience is having an evil baby? When the fuck was this, people? When does she get rid of it? I remember a gross abortion. Or talk of one. Prue comes back thanks to spells by The Source, Petunius and the COs. Sharon arrives.

Episode Six:

Main Story: The sin story. Arguably the best storyline EVER on ACW.
Side Story: Andy is caught almost cheating on Chloe again and the bird runs outside, gets hit by a car and is sent into a coma. Prue's awesome. She also pwns Andrea and takes the evil powers out. Stupid Julie and Moony tell Sharon about Andy's orientation, bringing about the famous (... lesbian?) scene. Petunius and Phoebe get close. Chloe wakes up, is brought home, and then leaves the city.

Episode Seven:

Main Story: Zombies! Fuck yeah. Phoebe is bitten, and does Paige the favour of biting her. The lovely Cora offers Paige the alternative fate of becoming a vampire. Paige takes it. She bites Carys. Carys bites Andrea. There's a whole big biting fiasco. Petunius flaunts his neck cleavage. God knows how, but everything gets sorted.
Side Story: Jim and Caroline are here now. Yey...

Episode Eight:

Main Story: Paz returns and bes a badass. So everyone goes to Hyrule! Ganondorf is killed and Paz is returned to being lovely. Woo.
Side Story: Chloe returns and Andrea's like "no lolz I'm straight" cos she's a fanny. Chloe leaves again. Azura and Andrea are dragged off by Cora and Moony, the former of each pair having a good time teaching Az that all her misery is the Irish one's fault. Az hates Andrea.

Episode Nine:

Main Story: It's decided that enough is enough with evil vampire Cora. Azura can't fail with the Charmed Ones behind her, right? Right. Although the psychic freezes up, Prue defeats Cora with relative ease. She's just. That. Cool. Az still hates Andrea.
Side Story: The lovely Dar shows up and has a great time reminiscing with Azura about high school days, and works for Shazzo. She meets Luke who shows her magic, then goes and gets his wings clipped.

Episode Ten:

Main Story: A strange angel asks several folks if they believe in magic. Silly ones say yes and find themselves in the crazy AC Asylum. Which is mental. Prue saves the day, naturally, and we discover Caroline was running it. Mental. Az still hates Andrea.
Side Story: Prue's getting bugged by Source stuff. Paige gets Stratosphere, an evil power. What else? Anything? Does Julie ever do anything??? Carys grabs Paige and like tries to rape her and stuff. Azura toddles to the rescue. Prue and Paige come to fuck Carys' shit up and end up getting summoned home.

Episode Eleven:

Main Story: Piper and Phoebe find out about Prue and Paige's evil powers, and how The Source needs to die die die. Prue and Paige do a blood oath to connect themselves as one before all sisters go to the Underworld and defeat The Source. Prue and Paige die.
Side Story: ??

Episode Twelve:

Main Story: Funeral I guess.
Side Story: Paz returns from a long, long time away.

Episode Thirteen:

Main Story: Sera gets involved with Moony which was silly, and the demon hangs her from the roof of CW. Paige helps out in her glamour, but Azura recognises her and finds out all their shit that they're still alive. Paige gives Az evil powers to make her see things her way. Works.
Side Story: ?????????????????????????????????????????????????

Episode Fourteen:

Main Story: Andrea finally gets around to helping out Hunos. Her and Julie end up trapped underground with a whole lot of shit and lots of near-death scenarios. Mordema, the bitch witch that cursed Hunos is killed, and the cat is returned to himself in critical condition. They take him to hospital and attempt to get in touch with the Chloster.
Side Story: Piper and Phoebe fuck off on vacation.

Episode Fifteen:

Main Story: Chaos comes to town! He affects Petunius, Luke, Lily, and uh... others... Sharon and maybe someone else with the need, oh, Sera, to fulfil their desires. Petunius cheats on Phoebe and STILL HASN'T TOLD HER, yet he looks down on Andrea? Screw that, moley!
Side Story: Azura's evil powers start getting the better of her and people find out she's a badass. She chucks Andrea into the Underworld, and then both Ands and Julie. Julie is approached by The Source (Prue) to work for her. Andy finds out about Prue and Paige. Dante, Veronica, Luke and Dar get drawn further into the OMG Azura's an evil bitch plot.

Episode Sixteen:

Main Story: Holy paige, all the vampires are coming cos they're so immune to you bastards. Prue ends up stopping them by telling them, basically, to fuck off. But we find Cora is still alive. Dun!
Side Story: Andy spends some time in hospital and promises Sera she'll help her with the Moony shit.

Episode Seventeen:

Main Story: The truth about Prue and Paige is outed to Julie too. Paige almost murders the lot of them. Andrea escapes the mansion and informs the wiccan, then Piper and Phoebe who come home. Azura goes mental and tries to kill Andrea. Once again, Az hates Andrea. Petunius is drawn in and a whole lot of big stuff comes out. Andrea manages to get to hospital to see Hunos just before he passes away.
Side Story: Ooo, is that an Egypt exhibit I see?

Episode Eighteen:

Main Story: Our beloved heroes are sucked into Egypt. Shits.
Side Story: Prue and Paige go to talk things out with their sisters. All is well, except Azura is clearly out of control. Something has to be done.




I'm sure I've got the Luke stuff timed wrong. Did he still have his powers when they were all trying to kill Sera? When the hell was that and why? Guh!


Okay. I know this is a LOT but if you can give me ANY details about ANY of this, please do! As much as you can, guys! I want everything! And tell me if I'm wrong!!

Posting in this thread is totally fine. Feel free to discuss but NO SPAM AT ALL. Make posts a decent length and try to help, not hinder!

Other stuff that would help me is if you can post as much about the history of your own character as you can. It all helps with the timeline stuff, which is the hardest. So ANYTHING. I want essays, people.

Luke lost his powers because they were trying to kill Sera (it was in January of this year, by the way). Luke's charge was Valerie at the time and she got some sort of ring from Sera because Valerie was Sera's fling of the moment. Nicole and the Dragon Cult that Olly needs to finish the fuck up with that story planted an athame that glowed much like Valerie's ring (the ring would have a burning sensation whenever someone tried to take it off and the athame would burn one's hand when held) in Sera's apartment. After hearing that Sera being the giver of the ring, Luke went over and so happened to come across said athame and tried to kill Sera, which led to his meeting and his big, idiot mouth got him on probation.

You also forgot the entire month of April wherein everyone lost their memories because Paz is such a wuss.

:lol: oh yeah, Ozymandias. Forgetting the memory loss, what're the chances, eh? Cheers Brad, keep 'em coming, and so people know, dates, or months, are hugely helpful.

Also, include Azura the total GINGER bitch. stabbing Veronica circa Episode Four or Five.

Ha, good stuff.

Okay, maybe I should try to build on these one episode at a time. I think I'm gonna make a forum for this. I'll post again in here once it's done. This will be the main thread for it, though.

Well that was a laugh. Now I'm wondering what to do. I guess still just get you guys to post everything you can in this thread.

Bet nobody else does -_-

So is everyone cool with this for Ep one?

Main story: Cole kidnaps Andrea Justin and gives them to the Arena. That's pretty much all I remember. I think I remember Charmed Ones being involved, but if anyone wants to tell me what happened with all this, it'd be cool.
Side story: That hilarious joker Kellan kidnaps Piper and manages to turn her into a small child, hijinks ahoy, she turns back to herself probably through someone's spell.

A few more for ep one;

Before the Cole thing, Justin gets a premonition of Piper being attacked by a demon in the club and hijacks her in there and just very conveniently, almost every single one of the n00bs wind up there as well and join in the action. This is the first time the Charmed Ones and every one else meet.

The famous hallway demon attacks at CW start here with a fight between Luke and Blaze and pretty much everyone else and Paz, Petunius, Vince, Luke etc all meet for the first time.

Petunius and Phoebe first meet in the magic shop and then later on at the club with the saving Piper shennanigans. Petunius blags himself a job at P3 and the flirting with Phoebe develops some more.

Then not too long after, Cole makes his appearance into ACW by coming into P3 and catching them flirting. Petunius hates Cole at first sight and the feeling's mutual and the Cole/Phoebe/Petunius thing starts up here.

At the same time, Vince and Paige begin to get closer as well. I think Chloe and Andrea first meet at P3 too, while Chloe and Lenin are in the beginning stages of flirting with one another but soon poor Lenin's forgotten about, more or less.

After Kellan's kidnapped kid!Piper, Vince, Paige, Phoebe and Petunius search pretty much all over ACW for her, eventually finding her at the lake (I think) and take her home to turn her back to her adult self.

Cole kidnaps Andrea and Justin here too, but the Charmed Ones don't actually get involved until the Elixir/OMG Carys is a vampire! storyline takes place.

I think Luke and Ariel first meet here as well after Paz casts some crappy spell that goes wrong.

There could be more but that's all I can remember for now (with a little cheating and looking back at stuff).

Edit; The first ACW death: Blaze guts Link like a fish and Link dies all alone in the hallway of CW.

Wow, thanks Mek! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out here :) can't believe I forgot about shitty Link. Man, that was fun when he died. Especially how he died. There's so much of that I can't remember. Like Petunius and Phoebe meeting. I read it and thought 'in the magic shop?? How the hell did they start a conversa-' etc.

I know the whole history of Chloe and Andrea well because I had to read a lot of it the other day to write it all down for Heather who's returning next year - that's why a fair bit of the above mentioned them as it was all fresh in my mind. Lenny was a bigger player in the situation than that, but yeah he kinda did get el dumpoed. It was for the best :P

I'd also forgotten about Ariel. Le woe.

I think what I might do is take like 8547349857 hours and just pick characters and follow them through ACW and get their personal histories. See now the uses of getting you to bold your next locations? Hehe. The only trouble is, when people go 'away' it's impossible to find them again unless you know where they show up next. I think that would be a good "second post" in their profile pages. First post pre-ACW or just arrived character stuff, second a massive update on what's happened/is happening to them.

Okay, so back to what you posted -

Should episode one be Justin getting the premonition and all of that happening, and everybody could meet, then episode two being the arena thing? I think it'd be a bit much to lump them together as one whole episode. Or we could make it the prelude. Episode 0. Just so the post above makes sense. If we make it a seperate ep, we'll refer to it as 0 just now.

Episode 0
Main: Justin receives a premonition that Piper is going to get attacked in P3. So he goes and bes all omg demon! Everybody else ends up getting involved and what actually happens with the demon? Then there's a big fight at CW in the hallways with loads of people versus Blaze.
Sides: Petunius and Phoebe meet and give each other the eye. She gives him a job at P3. Cole meets Pet and the two hate each other, Petunius becoming suspicious of Cole. Chloe and Lenin, then Chloe and Andrea. Sittin' in a tree.

Episode 1
Main: Cole 'naps Andy and Justin. Paz and Chloe rescue them (is it ONLY Paz and Chloe?) Is it here that Paz and Justin have their one on one fight and things turn sour between them? Is it this early on? Cos I can't think of any reason they'd be down in the arena together, and I seem to remember Chloe and Paz getting captured themselves. How did they all escape?
Sides: Vince/Paige/Tree. Kellan grabs Piper - doesn't he cast a spell on her and it turns her into a kid? I'm pretty sure that's what happens. And yes, they do find her at the lake. Prieto's there too, which is inconsequential, and they do indeed take her back to the manor. Luke/Ariel?

Episode 2
Main: Carys gets bitten by a vampire (where?) and becomes one herself. Brad PMed me this:

Carys had become a vampire and sometime in June or July of 2004, it came to a point wherein Piper, Paige, Petunius, Vince, Carys and Luke were in the Manor. The Book of Shadows was in the kitchen and Luke, being the moron that he is, turned the page to the spell "To Exchange One's Powers". The Wacky Wiccan Hijinks resulted in the following: Piper obtained Petunius' deflection power, Paige obtained Carys' vampire abilities, Petunius obtained Piper's powers, Vince got Paige's powers, Carys got Luke's power and Luke obtained Vince's. Because of this fuckup, Carys was able to conjure up Karen, who freed her from her crystal cage prison.

Some time passed and Karen killed the Wiccan by drinking her blood. In the process, she became a real, live bitch as opposed to a repressed, alter-ego bitch. To restore Carys, Petunius, Luke and Theo (later replaced by Paz) fought several enemies such as the Trok, the Manticore King and others before eventually acquiring the Elixir (I can't recall how they discovered about the stuff in the first place). Carys was taken to the ritual stone and they performed, well, a ritual to restore Carys, which they did. Yay! Or something.

So that's that story. Awesome, thanks Brad.

What else was happening around this time? Andrea and Chloe were a well-established couple, as they had to be when Andrea next meets a good Carys in P3 and is a silly, silly girl. Which I'm still not sure if it should be a main storyline or a side one. Do you think the Chloe/Andy/Carys stuff was the same time as Ariel? Or whatever else was happening, would that take precedence over the threesome as a Main story? I'm just reluctant to have something that wasn't strictly, dunno, 'magical' as a main story, and also it feels weird...

Thanks again to those helping :D

No problemo. ;)

And yeah, maybe Ep: 0 could be like a prelude, with all the introductions and stuff and then the Arena stuff can be put in the one afterwards.

The first time around, Chloe went into the Arena to look for Andrea by pretending to be a demon and getting Nilim to let her take a look at the merchandise. But she eventually gets found out cos she couldn't be all rarr and evil and stuff after seeing Ands. Paz follows not long after in the second rescue attempt by casting a spell to take himself down to the Arena in order to rescue Justin. He finds everyone there before he too gets captured for like three months.

Eventually (this could maybe take place in EP 2, since it ties in with the Elixir stuff), Nilim decides to have a little fun by announcing that Justin, Andrea, Chloe and Paz can have a chance to earn their freedom--but there's a catch. They all have to fight each other to the "death" and whoever wins, gets to be free. Chloe and Andrea decide that there's no way they can fight each other or Paz.

So, after much discussion it ends up being Paz and Justin fighting each other in the Arena. Justin becomes desperate to escape and he ends up stabbing Paz and making a run for it. This marks the beginning of the end for those two.

Justin makes it to the manor while the Carys is a vampire/ power switching hijinks stuff's going on and tells everyone what's happening. Some more randoms like Lirie, Patience and Theo end up at the manor too. Piper decides two teams need to be made up; One (made up of her, Vince, Patience, Lirie and Justin) to go and rescue the Arena prisoners and the rest (Paige, Petunius, Luke and Theo) sort out a way of turning Carys back to a human.

Team A goes down to the Arena and with the help of one of the NPC prisoners (I can't remember her name, she's blond and has the power of fire; I know it's not Stephanie) and Vince orbs off the power blocking collars off everyone. They turn against Nilim, allowing Andrea, Paz etc to get orbed out of there.

Back to the Elixir stuff, Paige et al head to the beach and the caves (following Paige's new vampire instincts) and eventually run into another vampire. Fighty fight, talk blah blah and then Petunius, as a temporary Charmed One, casts a truth spell on the vampire and gets her to tell them how to turn Carys back and she tells them about the Elixir. Then the quest stuff happens (during which Theo gets switched for Paz) and they do the ritual to turn Carys back.

Phew. More to come later. :D

Edit; The Chloe/Ands stuff was at the same time as Luke/Ariel cos I remember there being a whole big thing with literal fireworks when Chloe and Andrea got together for the first time. This happened just as Luke and Ariel were having their first "date". I don't think Carys got involved with Chloe and Andrea until a little later. I'll have to look up when she started to get between them.

I feel like Celine Dion. It's all coming back to me now.

Your idea for the Arena crossing over into episode two is very good, and it also explains where Paz and Andrea and co. were during the Carys vampire stuff, cos I did wonder. They were back for some of it, cos I remember Andrea and Chloe just getting home and getting attacked by Carys and Karen, those mother fuckers.

I can't believe those power collars just got ORBED off! How simple :P but hey. I think I need to sort the Arena out soon.

Thanks for the timeline stuff placing Luke and Ariel with Chloe and Andrea - now I know when it was. I also think Hunos appeared right near the very beginning too. Though his account wasn't registered until September. Still, since everyone was in the Arena for, indeed, 5 years, that would be okay to make him an Episode 2 fixture.

This means I'll need to know more about Ariel - how DID she come about? Paz's spell to... oh, wasn't it really absurd? Brad'll probably be able to help with that more, given it was Luke that was involved. Poor Luke. Ariel and the Sea Hag ended up together. That must've stung.

When isn't it absurd?

Innyway, Paz was reading a book on witchcraft to summon some sort of guide and because of the wording, it summoned Ariel. For more details, click here.

Aha. Justin died in the loving arms of Karen. That means he and Paz did indeed fight and hate one another in episode one. Weird, it feels like they were together for ages. Poor guys.

Moving on to some episode three, I don't need any details on the lesbians since I read quite a lot of it recently when compiling stuff for Heather. What else was happening around that time?

I'm putting Hunos down as appearing around episode two. I remember him being there when Carys kidnapped Andrea, and had been established there for quite a while.

But what else went dahn? And was it big enough to overshadow the lesbians as a main storyline?

What was everybody up to? Paz would've been moping, I guess. Luke? Petunius? Vince? Charmed Ones? Question?

Hmm okay, some Ep 3 stuff...

Through some random twist, Luke and Carys get it together at his place. After they fade in, Luke refers to Carys as "Ariel" and acts like it's nothing. Carys gets pissed. Like, really pissed. Luke shrugs it off and tells her she didn't mean anything to him and the only reason he did it with her was because he hadn't gotten laid in a long time. He tells her to leave before he uses her some more. Now rilly, rilly pissed! Carys leaves to her apartment. (This takes place on/around Halloween when Prue as a ghost goes around possessing everyone). So innyway, while Carys is in her apartment, crying her eyes out, the ghost pays her a visit and convinces her easily to get revenge.

While Luke's asleep in his apartment, Carys sneaks in with a knife and with some more encouragement from the ghost, stabs him and stabs him good in the crotch, killing him dead in the process. Prue!Ghost then goes to possess some more people at P3 and makes them guess who she is if Luke's gonna come back to life. Everyone takes years to do so, but eventually they get the answer right and he's restored.

Meanwhile, Cole tells Moony he wants Petunius dead and hires her to do the job. The whorelock starts to stalk Petunius everywhere he goes. After a few months of this, Petunius decides he's had enough and attempts a spell to banish Moony from his life, but naturally it goes wrong and they end up being stuck in the office of P3 together. After some hesitation, he bends her over and takes her roughly all over Piper's desk. Luke conveniently walks in not long after this and attempts to blackmail Petunius into one of his suicide missions, this time involving killing Belthazor. Petunius tells him where to go. Luke tells the Charmed Ones. Petunius and Phoebe break up. Petunius gets fired and mopes around for months.

I think this was the time that Vince and Paige tainted the sea forever before Vince randomly disappeared.

Paz and Justin stuff; After returning from the Arena, Paz decided he can't be bothered to waste time with Justin anymore and confronts him about what happened. Justin tries to give him some lame, overly dramatic explanation about sacrificing everything he has for his true love and that he had to make some difficult and life changing decisiong blah blah blah. Paz tells him where to stick it. Justin gets more desperate and attacks Paz, Paz pwns him with his lasery power. Justin becomes a pathetic mess and wanders around for a while until he eventually runs into Karen. They back and forth for a bit before he winds up snapping his own neck, DESPITE HIS NECK BEING IN HER GRIP! (just wtf?)

And yeah Hunos turned up just after Carys and Karen finish terrorising Chloe and Andrea at Andrea's place and wad there for a good while before Ands got kidnapped, so that sounds like it'd belong in Ep 2.

The Charmed Ones didn't really do anything worthwhile during this time, they were just...there. They became more active when Prue came back (unsurprisingly). Paige just moped when Vince randomly left, Phoebe got back with Cole (that cunt) and Piper carried on wearing Leo's balls. That's pretty much it, really.

Yeah, the Charmed Ones really were background features until Prue came back, then they really became proper main characters.

That's all awesome, Mek, particularly

Very sexy.

Yey, it's coming together slowly! Woot.

After reading through all that what I have to add is that there's the whole ghosts and church thing with Sharon, but she's sucked so much at it it might be better left out :P Plus feck knows what episode it'd go in.

Oh and um Moony's rape of Andrea which I think was around Episode Four. What might help is if you put an approximate date of the posts in each episode.
