Pelsia Ep 5
Sindobook:
First of all, I understand what you are talking about just fine. I know what you are requesting and I am trying to insure that 1) you can actually use the script you are requesting in the way you say you will, and 2) you will not misuse it in some other way.
When we first started on Mami and Pelsia we did not realise the importance of soap-chewing capacity either. One of our computers was a top-of-the-line sony VIAO and the poor thing started making popping noises and spewing smoke. Then it violently caught fire and before we knew it, it was reduced to a burning pile of rubble. Fortunately I keep a C-type fire extinguisher in the house and put it out quickly enough to stop the fire from spreading. It was under warranty and Sony was kind enough to replace it free of charge. But it took a week just to get out the horrible smell, and Piiki, the pet pig has been very jumpy ever since.
So these days before loading or using (playing back) a mami / pelsia script I will always feed the computer a few bars of soap to purify / sanctify it. If you are catholic this is not too much different from what happens in confession (ritual cleaning) except that it is a computer instead of a person. The problem is that most off-the-shelf premade computers like VIAO or Compaq or such are not designed with soap-chewing capacity in mind. You will have to very lucky to chew through anything with them, and they are likely to fail if you do it repeatedly. It took some time but using resources on the net like www.digikey.com you can order most of the parts you need by mail. My current setup has a 110W AC motor which drives a 10" diameter grinder fan made of titanium alloy. Then a self-guided driver arm rotates and feeds the soap into the grinder fan, and the rotation of the driver arm is syncronized to the fan speed monitor (if the fan slows down too much, the driver arm will slow its own rotation rate to compensate). Likewise you need a removeable basket of some type to catch the soap shavings and dust, otherwise it will begin to pile up inside the computer and eventually could cause something to go wrong. With this system I haven't had any failures since so I am very happy with the overall performance. The only problem is storing the soap that I get in bulk at the local costco. I run about 6 bars for every script so right now I estimate I'll need about 500 bars to finish both Mami and Pelsia. And I haven't even begun to think about Sweet Mint... probably another 200-300 bars for that alone.
Tofusensei:
Yeah, that fire almost steamrailed the entire project. We were all really taken aback by it. Dark times for Live-eviL. Thankfully we seem to have it under control now, but I wouldn't advise that level of hardware stress for the ill-equipped.

OK. You feed your computer... bars... of... soap...
Um, yeah, dude, sure.
Apparently, I must have missed some big notice on the main page stating "don't request scripts". Or, you're telling the truth. Or you're insane. Or, most likely, you're just making fun of me. Whatever. But, considering that you won't answer my questions related to the file format of the script, your job at LE, etc, I'll wager on the last option. Let's all take a big laugh because I thought "soap" in your post was some weird-ass buzz word you were using.
OMGLOLN00BLOLMWHAHAHAH!!!!
Anyway, as to concerns about my usage of the script... the black market? Ebay? Do you think there are dozen of buyers ready to spend hundreds of dollars on a single episode script of a 20-year old mahou shoujo anime? Even if I wanted to make money by selling a script, which I DON'T, I wouldn't be able to make a single red cent. I just wanted the script to play with my LD-BOX so I could watch it subtitled on my TV. Geez.

Yet you say in a message above
"Please allow me to assuage any fears you may have. I own the Japanese LD-BOX of the complete TV series. I have scripts for episodes 1-4, 5-28. I want to play my laserdiscs of the series in conjunction with an output".
So while you already have the script for #5, you're requesting our script for #5 (and only #5); likewise you accuse us of not being serious when in reality it is you who is not being serious as to the motive behind your request. Enough, it's pointless for me to continue.
SayMark2:
Good God man, I MADE A FRICKIN' TYPO!!! >:(
I should have typed "I have scripts for episodes 1-4, 6-28". No 5. I lack a script for episode.
Are you happy now?
Anyway, I again would like to request a timed script for Pelsia episode 5. Thank you for your time.
