EDIT: What about holding a first mage council after creating a suitable tower at the starting square? Every active mage seems to be drawn back to portal now.
((If you want that, i could use my gold-affinity throne. And yes, i agree to the council meeting.))
((Anyone want to buy my golden throne? 3 shards is the minimum price, and if 2 people or more want to buy the throne the throne goes to the highest bidder. It gives gold affinity. Honestly through, i don't know this is IC or OOC.))

((I am also in accordance with this council tower. It could use some automated defenses, eh?))
"MWEHEHEHEHEEE! My plan is complete! The final step is only to prepare... Oh, hello Bob! You wouldn't mind protecting me while I do crazy?"
Go a little ways back from the jet... then craft essences until one collapses. Obviously watch for this. Oh, and try to stay a little close to the dinosaur, for protection and happenstance. If something bad starts to happen, try to use thaumic disruptor to stop it.

There is one teensy little problem with building the meeting hall at spawn- spawn is covered in an anti-magic field to prevent spawn-killing, so it's going to be really hard to (magically) build a structure there, unless Beirus is trying to turn off the AMF field. Maybe we could build it somewhere else, like NAV's forest or the treant's forest.

Giving waitlisted people the ability to murder non-responsive players was a great idea. Need to do that more often.

((Well, well. If you haven't done something horribly wrong with our spawn point when I was absent, I'm pretty sure it has NO means of duel prevention. At the very start of this game, DG was probably shocked we choose to withdraw peacefully before killing each other. Anyway, offing newcomers is a bad taste.

I'd say we'll choose the best course of action when we actually gather and start planning IC. I predict many horrific and awesome ideas born from heated magic dispute.))

(This meeting hall/tower/ fortress shall need guardians. I can provide them.)

Hello, Jiksap. What is that thing you've been working on? If you need more magic power, I'd be happy to provide it.

Summon another obedient Deinonychus. Then, if Jiksap agrees, join with him in whatever spell might be required.

((It was a simple choice with no extra thought attached. The spawn does have some safeguards, including one that makes those who enter practically invulnerable for their first turn. It was even used once.))


((As for general non-murder that is happening, it does slightly confuse me. There is no waitlist. You either win or come to fight again. Some artifacts I allowed only because I thought that their overpowerdnes would be nerfed by dragging everyone and their dog into wanting the artifact and willing to take it from a dead body. Kahels orb allows rerolling all 1's, changing your chance to fail horribly from 1/6 to 1/36. Why does he still have it?))

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

((There is no reason for main triad (James-Jase-Crimson) to fight between themselves and they mostly leave new mages to dwell while pursuing knowledge. A fine choice. But new players have very low aggression, considering that they would benefit from fighting the most. I think a some sort of global event is needed at/after the council, as to promote bloodshed.

As for my staff... I'm simly too good at survival (running away), diplomacy (exploiting the weak) and being neither strong nor weak (triad can finish me, but it won't be so simple for newer mages).))

Well, we're kind of just plotting right now. I suspect that a few plans will fire off soon and cause some nice fireworks, causing a chain reaction of combats that are caused by people taking advantage of the depleted resources of other combatants.

What are the actual effects of the wards that surround the entrance portal? Can we use the entrance portal to go to other places?

"Thank you. I will bring my friend back with me soon. May I bring this crab on my journeys so that it can help me find my way back here when I return? Oh, and I realize I never introduced myself. I am Jase Blackthorn."

Exit the cave and start heading back to the entrance portal. Two aether essences on the way. Leave the crab with the golem if I can't take it with me.

Use a simple scanning spell to determine whether there's anything useful or valuable in the area. Two knowledge essences afterwards.
