I feel like we might get exponential traffic increases if we finally go through and compile everything into one place, sort it, and fix all the damn bugs we can find. But that would be an undertaking worthy of the gods themselves.

[Halfling]

I disagree.

Well, maybe I should agree on the "compile" part.

Here's how I see it: at around your (@LKR) turn, there was massive buzz here. People were talking about what to add, how things should be, and so on. Lots of new ideas and discussion. Lots of player reports, good ones. I remember noticing that this thread never falls below first page, and that was without any attempt at spamming it, just from all the talk.

Not so anymore. Now it seems more like modding for modding's sake. The same amount of people should be downloading and playing it, but they're more quiet now. That's fine too.

If more activity is desired the answer is simple - more buzz (and non-modding participation). More player reports, more fanart, more description of stuff, somebody say a wiki? That. That's what makes this thing run. Nobody will be too interested in modding either if there's no visible reaction when you create something awesome. That requires a bit of a community to happen.

Mm... I was originally thinking about how to encourage such more. Because really, people who make stories contribute as much to the project as the modders, for the above reasons, and should be "rewarded" equally. But I didn't come up with a good answer.

I'm also not sure whether my relative inactivity... which will only get worse, my next uni. rotation is such that I will mostly not be sleeping home... is an issue, since the thread is in my name (and I maintain it, but do people expect more?).

I guess it's also to do with how it's September and we're back to work in our non-virtual lives again, collectively.

I would say that this is one of the main hindrances for me.  Taking a lot of honors classes this year.

I've been enjoying reading all of your new posts without having to DL and re-DL each new incarnation.  Your thread is one I visit almost daily to read what new bits have been added to this project.

[WillowLuman]

I don't start Fall Term until the 26th, fortunately.

[Aseaheru]

Lucky you.

Situation is basically the same for me Plus I've got another modding project for a different game I'm trying to bring up to a functional level so I can try releasing it, which is eating the rest of my free time. CK2 is much less convenient to mod than DF, if only for the sheer drudgery of setting up provinces...

You lucky duck. I've been stuck in calculus trying to survive the tide of review worksheets

And:

Very much this. I visit Bay12 basically every two hours just to see what's been going on in here.

Maybe now that we've got a slowdown in activity, we should try the actual "succession game" part after a focused, bugfixes-only turn? See how everything works in a traditional madness-inducing setting, do deeper testing than possible before, have fun, terrorize wooden-elves and such with trained spiders?

[WillowLuman]

I'm starting college this year, and only 3 classes this quarter. Don't know how much time that affords me, but I'm optimistic.

[Gnorm]

I've begun work on a wiki to compile information on this mod. It's hardly anything as of now, but it will hopefully bring in new players, eventually.

[WillowLuman]

Good! Give us a link when it's ready

[Vgray]

Very interesting. I'm up to page 93.

I'm curious, what do civ Ethics look like?

A link, if you please.

For which race?

[Vgray]

I'm mostly interested in the Formics and Lizardfolk.

Scratch elves are like Vanilla elves I suspect.

Ethics wise I mean...

So...I guess Lizardfolk can't eat a sentient that's still alive?
