Actually, you may not even need to drop the semicolons! Hooray for plaintext record jars!

ADDIT: Slashes and quotes, brackets and dashes, obscure Unicode hieroglyphs and other non-colon non-commas fit with no problem!

What are you using to store this info o.O

[Kilojoule Proton]

A little Python script I'll probably put up somewhere once it's no longer as much of an embarrassment as it is now.

Magic and FIRE.

So when will the game start?

[Kilojoule Proton]

Not for less than a day or two, most likely. I still need to figure out how many and which stats we'll be using, work out the easily found bugs in the helper scripts, write out the 0-cost actions guide, rewrite the multipliers list, write mechanics stuff in general, and maybe get a survey or two in before the game can start. Now would be a good time for everyone interested in participating in the "creation stage" to start listing off days.

For myself, I'll be out of town without hope of updating (all times in UTC) from 2015-08-25 03:00 to 2015-08-25 05:00 and from 2015-09-08 03:00 to 2015-09-09? 05:00 (give or take a few hours, probably). Fortunately, from 2015-08-25 05:00 to 2015-09-08 03:00, I should be able to update at least once every two or three days.

Players with incompatible schedules this week or so:
Stirk 08-19-08-20?

Possibilities on dealing with current schedule conflicts:

• Begin game as soon as possible but make the first tick last until 2015-08-23 00:00 UTC
  
  • For: A two-days-per-tick normal schedule is already probable anyway (partly for reducing distant time zone effects), and a four or five-day tick for creation probably improves both quality and quantity
  • Against: It sounds too long?
• Delay game until an optimal day when everyone involved is available
  • For: Allows keeping a mostly normal schedule from the start
  • Against: Quite unlikely to happen

[Andres]

I just want maximum amount of Ticks in a minimum amount of time.

[Kilojoule Proton]

What do you think of a YG Lite spinoff using acts rather than Essence?

[Andres]

No thanks. Micelus' game already does that.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Then there's not terribly much I can do

I'd prefer this option. It's a good thing to have extra time to make plans, establish characters, organize into pantheons, argue on trivial matters, vow eternal vendettas, and so on.

I agree with this.


Also you're using python, KJP? That's neat, I'm learning it right now. I can't wait to be able to make that sort of stuff myself.
And for ticks, I say go for a rhythm that's comfortable for you.


I think I'll start drawing my new character before the game actually starts.

[hector13]

+1 the present choice. I'm available responsibility-free until September when my parents are visiting. Should have time in the mornings and evenings to do things though, but I'll keep y'all posted if it'll affect me more.

[Dutrius]

Flippin' 'eck! Four new pages since I went to bed last night!

I was going to have magic as a sphere, but I thought that resonance would be more interesting.
