**************************| spoken with in close proximity to each other(linear time wise)]
Rough time->Continuous Events-:
**************************|*********************** **.->Alpha Timing
**************************`->Debleeding->Scene timing-:->Static Full Line timing
************************************************** **`->New line on pause


Or whatever. Sorry for the crappy example, it is 3:30am and I'm not very clear headed atm. ;D
Wasn't there already an entire fansubbing skill tree developed in a thread about a year ago which was about the semi-fictional fansubbing MMORPG?
The idea back then was someone could write a MMORPG whose basic goal was fansubbing, and then we could convert all of those masses of hours people waste grinding away for levels and convert them into masses of hours people spend timing or typesetting. A lot of people think that fansubbing is really just one big game, so why not make it the truth?
