[Toaster]

Given the compartmentalization of the world, this would make a totally banging MUD.

[KineseN]

"Hmm..."

Kin tried to put the big hat in the larger circle and reactivated it. If that would not work he did the same same thing over again, A16, B1, but put the hat in the larger circle before activating it.

[miauw62]

"Damnit. I think this one requires page 4 runes..."Use my ring to will the door to the house and the windows shut, then draw circle.

[Xanmyral]

"Aye aye, captain!" Glassco sets about landing the ship, by that I mean he makes Sparky land, then set the ship down, then move away from the ship. Glassco points at Sparky and says a word. "Best see if I can do this, that way I won't have to bother with keeping him under my thumb and free up my mind for a few other tasks."

[Stonecod]

((Just to make sure, it's only the runes that use up my pool, right? Circles don't?))
"The only logical course of action is to start randomly scratching circles on the ground until something happens."
I'll take a quick look around the room to see if I'm in any danger, then I'll scratch another circle and activate it when it's done.

2.Costs and Cooperation:
Unlike words which are always instant and always cost 1 point, circles can cost many points and take several turns to make. However, these costs, both in time and points, can be lowered substantially by cooperating with another player. If 2 people work together the circle is completed twice as fast and each person need only pay half the point cost. If three people work together it goes three times as fast, is split 3 ways, etc. This means that a few people working together can do a hell of a lot more with runes and circles then they could do individually with words.

((And that is why it's good to work with a team if you're doing runes. Team Bismuth does rune science. Join team Bismuth!|!htumsiB meat noiJ))

[Stonecod]

((Ok, so how do I know how many points a circle takes? Is it just trial and error?))

[Angle]

My characters name is Joseph.

Send out my sporebombers around the area, then study the heads.

[Parisbre56]

((Ok, so how do I know how many points a circle takes? Is it just trial and error?))

((I can't reveal the how without revealing knowledge gained by other teammates, however I will tell you this: there is a way of predicting how much pool and time a circle or rune costs. You can either experiment a bit and find out for yourself or you can join a team that knows about that.))

[Dermonster]

((I suggest Aether.))

[Parisbre56]

((I suggest Aether.))

((I don't think drugs are the answer here. I suggest heavy metals, like team Bismuth.))

[Dermonster]

((Bismuth is weak, Aether is the polar opposite of Void, the Ur-Element. The air of heaven. Join us and we shall ascend beyond the finite!))

[Onyxjew944]

((Eh. Just get me to somewhere I can do something. Three straight turns of not shooting lightning from my tongue is starting to get tedious.))

Fly away, or down. Or spiral out of control. Whatever gets me out of the chronological void I am somehow floating in. AND ACTUALLY DO IT. CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED AND TIME-STOPS DISREGARDED.

[Parisbre56]

((Bismuth is weak, Aether is the polar opposite of Void, the Ur-Element. The air of heaven. Join us and we shall ascend beyond the finite!))

((You see all those stuff? Man, sounds like you're having a bad trip to me. Remember kids, don't do drugs. Go heavy metal. Go Bismuth.))

((Okay, I'm stopping the silliness of advertising now. No need to clutter the thread with my jokes.))

((Aether has more knowledge and more members. We're also cooler. We're Ęther, a magical substance; you're Bismuth, a component of bismuth bronze. Oh, yeah, and you get to bump virtual shoulders with such notable characters as myself and dermonster. Who does Bismuth have? Parisbre?))
