And we have dragons still.

You're welcome ;)

EDIT: mmm. I worry Pyreous and I may have cross posted, or cross mapped as the case maybe. Looks like the Herne may have some neighbors in the Northern reaches

Hmm, to be honest I'm getting quite confused as to where everything is, I seem to spend ages checking back and forth through the thread to check before I post.

I'm not doing anything at the far North though?

That latter is my mistake then. I thought i saw something being put down on the map and was worried that as long as I had taken for my moves that I was messing with things you were about to tinker with yourself.

EDIT: Ah, looks like it was Bel's Eternal Dragons there

Ran out of colors to use with circles for race starting points, so I used a different shape instead.

Ah.

BTW, the concept of the spirit healers wigs the #$#$ out of me. Excellent work ;)

That's nothing, wait a while for a new surprise.

Also, Pyreous I don't think there are any humans left in Altas to become assimars the giants kind of killed them all...

According to the rules, to wipe them out you need to pay their cost of creation on top of just attacking them.

I know that humanity itself isn't gone, but I don't think there are any more humans in the city of Atlas.

Well, that'll change. There'll probably be one less avatar too. Well, the same number of avatars, just different gods with them.

Karmesh your race was too perfect for me to pass up, I couldn't help myself. I was thinking of using a wendigo with a slight modification.

I am curious at to the twin's reaction to a number of every race taking up residence in Twinstar.

That was kind of the intent. While the angels rule the city, any member of a neutral/allied race (or individuals of other races who prove themselves trustworthy) is welcome there. Hence the huge bazaar, the academy, the library, etc. Atresse and Zur want Twinstar to be kind of a peaceful Rome, the center of civilization but without all the slavery and imperialism.

No worries Nimeton, I think it's a very cool idea! But what do you mean about the wendigo, was that your first idea until lamassu came along, or do you still have some plans for them?

Twinstar being a "Rome" is also very cool, I was aiming for something similar with Suukarmeshar, but I think I'll settle for it being the second-best city for those who can't make it all the way up north. Karmesh will definitely send some of his people up to Twinstar!

Well, you've driven back my armies. I don't know if I'm going to keep going at Atlas, or just build another city.

I think I'll do a few non-sequitur things with Nyakushuur just for the fun of it, like her last turn. I want her to have an avatar at some point, the problem is the avatar will likely (need to) have more direct intelligence or consciousness than her, and I really like her being this weird force in the background. Hm.

I still might do something with the Wendigo yet. I just need to wait for the right series of events. Karmesh some of your people are at Twinstar, I have followers of every race, it may not be a large following, but I should have a couple from each.

Okay, technically I think everyone but Eyero has gone in the opening round of the new age. Should we wait for him a bit longer?

Well... darn. Four cities, four armies, enhanced warfare? Eyero, you dirty, dirty bastard :)

EDIT: I have started to draw a map in Photoshop, assuming that future landscaping will rarely be on a global scale. I'll upload a preview when I'm ready and if everyone agrees, we could just use it as background layer in the Etella World Map and delete all the manual icons for mountains, trees, etc.

Okay folks, every race and city (except those of Eyero's, of course) have received a messenger/dreamer from the Vesper to warn them, and offer themselves as an adviser/fortune teller. Please let me know, either here, or better yet in gameplay, whether those offers are rebuffed or accepted and how... for example,I fully expect the titans to smash the one that comes to them but who knows, they might at least listen to the warning first :)

As long as one reaches the Library at Twinstar, emissaries are dispatched from my order. Any advice is better than none.

I really need to make poor Omaz Almas an Avatar sometime soonish if I can just build some points up again. Between the Herne and the power gift, he's not had much chance :)

We seem to have hit a slow down.

Well I just noticed that my post got eaten, so I'm going to be re-posting that right after I get back from work.

We've definitely hit a slow down.

has every one had their turn 2? I think we were waiting for someone to do something.

I don't think Pyreous has gone.

I think it's safe to say that anyone who hasn't gone at this point forfeits their turn. I'll wait for someone to second that before going.

Seeing as how the last big round of posts was 5 days ago, I'd be ok with that.

I'd say Pyreous could do a retoractive 'gather power' for the round, but other than that, best to go ahead.

Yeah I agree.

Apologies, I'm on medication which is interfering with my concentration and this game is getting increasingly hard to follow, so I'm going to drop out.

If anyone wants to hijack Pyreous (perhaps reborn under another name), or if you want to use him as an excuse for a fiery conflagration then feel free..

I'll get my turn in this morning.

I'm not sure if killing thousands all over the world, ruining crops and live stock with acid rain, etc etc for just 13 points is fair. I mean, if we brush over the ramifications and make it mostly for show, sure, but it sounds like major devastation for very little cost.

Again, IMO

Mhmm, I've been debating with myself if it seems fair, and I'm still not sure. Our was meant as for show.

well, like I said, if it's mostly for show it's not as bad.. but it certainly has me curious.

On another note, folks, I'm sorry I fell behind for a day or two there. I'm trying to catch up so I don't slow you all down.

Is there anybody who hasn't gone yet?

I haven't done Zur's turn, I'll get it done within an hour or two.

Looks like Karmesh and Nyakushuur still need to go as well.

Did we lose them?

Maybe.

So who knows what is going on. Did the game fizzle out?

So who knows what is going on. Did the game fizzle out?

Seems likely. Those of us that are still around aren't really posting anymore either. We seem to have lost 4 deities in total, including the GM.

Should we try to continue this or should we end it?

I'm thinking end it at this rate. We've been patient

We have bad luck with GMs dropping out on us Besilous. I was Tarias Malasir in the Ovis game.

Yeah that was some serious bad luck. I don't even know why it went down just one day it was deactivated.

Someone posted a pm from the GM in the discussion if you wanna find it.

This was the pbp I was most excited for. I'm sad it is ending.

I'll PM Hexavos and see if he would be willing to close the game formally

Well, it looks like Hexavos hasn't posted on the boards for a month, so we may just have to wait for this one to expire on it's own in three months. It's been a pleasure playing with you all. I'm going to recyle Dyrm and Omaz into whole new characters
