Just glad to see you're alive.

Just glad to see you're alive.

Given how you literally disappeared from the forums, I must second that.

Its dead Jim.

Diagnosis premature it seems. Coma a much more likely explanation.

All hail Caesar!!

Thanks, everyone. And plus one for the humor.
I'm working on the update right now. No distractions either.

Oh, and don't think that I'm suddenly not going to twist your acts into unintended consequences where those consequences make sense! Hehe.

Edit: Update

I made some great progress. Since I have to attend a class soon, I will continue later this evening as well as tomorrow. You can probably expect power-hungry pretender gods, war, war and more war next turn. Did I mention that there will most likely be war?

Heh. You people really do like war too much. Then again, it's one of the most interesting topics to write about.

Update: After many deliberations and figurative measuring of scales, I finished my end-of-turn summary (the part where I summarize what happened after your acts). All that remains is the most fun part: The flavor text!


(Post scriptum: I just discovered that in my earlier description of the Banshee, I made two horrible spelling errors! I'm fixing that right now too.)

[Caesar]

I am done. If I forgot anything, please let me know!

Yours sincerely,

Caesar

I have a question. On the last turn I had three essence and I spent four (I do not disagree with the costs, by the way; in hindsight I hadn't realized how powerful the Lady of War was). I assume one essence was subtracted from my current turn to make it break even. Are there any consequences to that, beyond having less for now?

[Caesar]

The further you go into negative, the worse the possible consequences. Basically, it's a gamble. If you are already at or below zero at the start of a turn, you can't act. If you end up at -1, you're generally save (I don't want to screw people over for a small miscalculation).

If you keep ending up very low, you'll start getting unlucky, or I twist the acts that caused it.

Imagine it like this: I am not actually a 'random number machine', but I do take into account things that happened before. Now, some acts have clear good or bad effects. Most can end in multiple ways. The more often you go into minus, the more chance there is that I'll bias some of the results of your actions into the unlucky scale. It's like karma.

[Shootandrun]

Fine by me. On to a different subject, I just noticed turns two and three are both called 'Schemes'. Might want to change that?

[Caesar]

Whoops. Every time I write a new turn I copy the previous for the layout. I guess that I missed something.

[Caesar]

So how are all the acts coming along?

Posted mine already. >____< as usual they are of vastly inferior quality to everyone else.

Oh well.

Anyway, I hope that my attempts to make my god kinda weird for a god are okay.

Basically, he doesn't really favor his city. He started there, yes, and gave it something cool, but overall, he doesn't care who you are, what you believe, or where you hail from. If you're willing to worship him, he'll provide help, if you can earn it.

[Caesar]

Oh! I wanted to remark that the game is (obviously) running at a slower pace now. People take more time to think of what they wish to do, as they are getting more acts and, well, the world is getting more complicated. So for now I'm not using deadlines. The pace is decided mostly by the pace of the players.

I didn't read any of the posts yet. I want to read them all in one go, like going through a story. This excludes questions asked through PM, and it may mean that after everyone posted I still have to go around and ask people to correct X or Y.
