Google Drive to record the "Story Games" and other Pit stuff
« on: January 29, 2014, 03:08:06 am »
Hello!
So here in the pit we come up with some weird things on our threads. Specifically I'm talking about the stories in the (Currently) 3 word game and 5 word game.
I made a Google drive that anyone can access/edit to type up the contents of those threads and create a story to stand the tests of time! *Muahahahahah!!*

*Ahem* anyway after typing up 60 pages of the 3 word game (Which I don't recommend) I figured this was a better and more convenient idea to record and share those threads.

Gonna trust you punks not to delete everything in there. And if you do luckily Drive takes revision saves  ;)

I've got my own copy of the 3 word game and the main folder is view only. The documents are editable but there are revisions which Google auto saves (It saves every change :O). Plus if I locked it then it would be kinda pointless :P

*Mouse hovers on delete all button*

*Excruciating silence*

*Unplugs mouse and runs away screaming a warcry*

idk why you people insist on typing everything out.... there's a print button that you could print to PDF and use that.... much much simpler

Oh, that print link is very useful, makes screen scrapping a thread a lot easier.  Here is a very quick and dirty 5 minute python hack that uses the print page to screen scrape the story down.  It needs a bunch of cleaning up e.g. to just get the story you will need to remove people quoting each other and remove the bracketed comments.  But here it is (it's very rough):


import requests
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
from html2text import html2text

html = requests.get('https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3086.0').text
p = BeautifulSoup(html)
print ' '.join([html2text(text.text).strip() for text in p.findChildren('dd')])

Wait is that the whole thread or just the first page?

Edit: I could probably figure this out if I look at the links closely when I open stuff but I'd rather be sure hearing it from someone who knows xD
