New page.
Just letting the currently active players know, I'm probably going to be reformatting the Somnolent Gods' Loss to be more like Sekai's - losing 1d6 is simply too slow. It's not that I don't want those guys to come back if they want to - I do! - but not only could they come back anyway at any times, it seems like this game might be just about "finished", and, knowing me, I'd feel obligated to roll everything out until it's over.
And, you know, I haven't even been doing it right.
A deity loses "life energy" each round (1d6 for younger gods, 2d6 for elder gods, or 3d6 for gods of cataclysm).
That means that yellowdingo, turambur, and ulgulanoth should all have been losing 3d6, while lucky7 should have been losing 2d6.
I really, really don't feel like counting up how long they've been somnolent, then rolling that many additional dice, and so on. So I'm going to make things easier on myself, even if it's not, strictly speaking, as "correct".
EDIT: I did this wrongly. They didn't all start out at 901, which means that, as I calculated things, they effectively lost "too much" (except for ulgulanoth). Sooooooooooo...
EDIT 2:
After correcting from my last post,
yellowdingo, lucky7, and turambur all started from 791
ulgulanoth started from 901
Other Event/Catastrophe: Using Chronomancy to Make Up for Lost Time in the Pool of Somnolence [19]
yellowdingo: 791-742 = 49 lost; since he rolls 3d6 instead of 1d6, he's actually lost 49 x 3 = 147 lost; he has 644 remaining.
lucky7: 791-725 = 66 lost; since he rolls 2d6 instead of 1d6, he's actually lost 66 x 2 = 132 lost; he has 659 remaining.
Turambur: 791-738 = 53 lost; since he rolls 3d6 instead of 1d6, he's actually lost 53 x 3 = 159 lost; he has 632 remaining.
ulgulanoth: 901-858 = 43 lost; since he rolls 3d6 instead of 1d6, he's actually lost 46 x 3 = 129 lost; he has 772 remaining.
Further, I'm using the Other Event/Catastrophe cost to "upgrade" and even out future somnolence loss.
Other Event/Catastrophe: Even (and) Greater the Loss
Instead of varying the somnolence by category, all gods now lose 4d6 life energy each round.
I've been busy and, although I really like what we've got here, I haven't had any more great ideas for this world... It's harder when you don't have others playing to build off of ... That seems to be the case with all players here, perhaps ... Is it time to call this Dunia setting complete/publishable? :)
Nope. It would require turning all this rolls and events into easily readable and stylistically sound descriptions. Probably divided into chapters or something.
I'd say Tac has a head start on that in his huge world update doc. :)
But yes, Drejk, you're right, it's not actually in a publishable form right now.
What I meant to ask was if we're done developing the story of the world?

So, apparently, I was in something of a daze at the time, and I ignored the current conversation. Sorry.
Currently:
1) I don't see any particular "plans" any of the currently active players have.
2) We've gone substantially beyond the original plan for 3 ages, all the way into the 6th.
3) We've got four somnolent gods, and four active gods... but of the active gods, it seems I'm the only one posting every day.
4) We've got an effectively-modern country, effectively-gods walking the world, and plenty of mysteries, rivalries, and potential-opponents and rivalries across the planet.
To me, Dunia seems (almost or actually) "done".
We'll probably keep it going for a little while longer, but I'd be hard pressed to say what more can really be done here. I have more than enough points, so, let me know when, and I'll end the sixth age, and begin the seventh and final age, and become the only twice-over god of cataclysm, and we'll call it a "wrap".
This isn't an immediate thing - the somnolence needs to finish, and a few other elements I want to take care of have to be fixed or finished as well.
Does that sound good to you guys?

Huzzah! I thought I was alone for a bit. Though, if you'd held off posting until the beginning of the next page, I'd have gone ahead and "skipped" dice rolls for some time, accelerating the Somnolent Gods' loss and everyone else's power-gain.
Actually, Drejk, do we want to do that? Roll a lot, then blow everything on a megastravaganza before wrapping up this world?

So, approximately 50 more rolls before the final somnolence finishes... which means that even more deities will enter somnolence, if they don't post within the next 25 or so posts... which means more than 50 rounds of somnolence... hm...
After weighing in with Lady Firedove (and based on the general agreement/lack of opposition), I think I'll accelerate the somnolence (temporarily).
Catastrophe (10 pts)+Other Event (9 pts)+Command Avatar [Pool of Quiescence] (2 pts) x 4: Temporarily ( turns each, starting this one) quadruple the rate of Somnolence for each of the gods (21 pts four times = 84 pts).
For the next 17 turns (April 17-May 04), any somnolent gods will lose 16d6 life energy per round instead of 4d6. Since they have already rolled 4d6 today, they will lose and additional 12d6.
Accelerated Loss (April 17-May 04): 1/17

So, going at this rate, on average, we'll have about 12 more turns before the final god falls into somnolence. That will mean that (if no one else posts) the last somnolence is likely to be finished by post 1,188 on this page (about 12 posts before the end of the page, and about 5 turns before the accelerated somnolence runs out). So it looks like, barring something specific, this will be the last page of the game!

Tacticslion becomes the first Twice-Cataclysm, the Head of the Life Gods (and all Divinities become Life Gods), and Ends the Godly Eons.
Each "turn" for the gods expands to become 920 years.
The Regulations of the Gods and the Djam Bridges are abolished, while the Djam Clock are placed into the Pool of Somnolence, sealing their powers against themselves and (mostly) negating them; this abolishes somnolence (for now).
The Arku Armor and the Armor of the Frozen One are bound into one with the Lion Blade's armor, as he ascends to the Head of the Life Gods, able to tap into the divine power of any other Life God; the Life Gods no longer have a cap on the power they can hold, but only on the power they can wield: never more than 199 power in a turn. This is effective retroactively. During this instant of this turn, all of the collective energy of all of the gods are transferred and equally distributed; whenever a Life God receives energy half of it is equally spread among the other life gods, but half is retained for the god who gains it. All gods, old or young or new, dead or living, active or in active, or not-yet-extant; if they become active are instantly added to the pantheon of the Life Gods; they may not cede from the pantheon without permission from Tacticslion and two other Life Gods. The Life Gods may now have up to nineteen members. Only by acting in concert with more than half of all extant Life Gods may any Life God alter the rules of the Life Gods. They are now referred to, collectively, as the "Pantheon".
No more do the elders or cataclysm give way to the younger - all are now equal... but distant. They are all placed within the Sacred Well, though their avatars may still act in the world abroad.
The prices of all effects increase dramatically without the Regulations of the Gods.
And all gods (past, present, or future; dead or living) are placed into the Djam Clock to move instantly and forever forward in time to the next godly cataclysm...
No longer reliant on the divine push, mortals begin wars, or end them, bring peace or destruction, following their own path. Though mighty signs of ancient deity are present across the world, who knows what future the mortals will bring upon themselves and if or when the gods will return.
