Nice, I would swap 1 mindlock for 1 appeal as:

1. There isn't anything piticularly nasty about you as you said 2. Many people would like to learn how to do magic and make explosions (I would be among your cultists because of that.) 3. Your talk of saving the world from a botany based apocalypse would draw support. and 4. I think that anything above one on mindlock is a waste (but that's just me)

Also can the next person wait a turn before posting a horror? It makes me nervous.

How valuable mindlock is depends on how powerful your competitors are, right now I'm thinking -1 or 2 power for each level of mindlock, so 2 or 3 mindlock would make you nearly invincible to nonphysical attacks, but if everyone has 1-3 power than 1 is probably sufficient. That said, while stats do change how you play there is no wrong build, but cultists will be a lot less valuable next game because of the 4 action limit.

Also, no need to be nervous, the game won't end until all but one horror is dead/purged, or all the horrors are dead, and we still have some guys that haven't even been summoned yet. Btw, you should probably get on the purging, those guys are getting closer and closer to being summoned.

Also, Koshu and Rosabel need to post actions before we can move on...

[Adragis]

50 cultists: find tallow candles.
Rest of cultists: do good deeds et cetera (raise PR even further)
Me: Recruit!

[Evonix]

four... FOUR?!? it it can't be (panics)

Me: Recruit!

find: [3] They find more candles... these ones hopefully won't explode.... but they didn't get enough! IDIOTS! (partially gathered tallow candles)
raise PR: [3] They hand out candy to orphans and volunteer at soup kitchens. Their work goes largely unnoticed, but those who do notice really appreciate it. (PR now very good)
recruit: [3] You whisper the secrets of goodwill unto others, and they join your crew. Then you get tired and decide to take the rest of the day off. (+50 cultists)

four... FOUR?!? it it can't be (panics)

Oh no, you might be forced to prioritize rather than doing everything at once :horror:

[FallacyofUrist]

((Hm. You should compensate for only four actions by making the actions more powerful.))

[Aslandus]

((Hm. You should compensate for only four actions by making the actions more powerful.))

((The idea is to stop people from taking 10 actions in a turn so having more than 4 people playing is less stressful, but I'll consider it))

[carp]

ok, I will try it next game but right now I have the resources to start the epilogue within a turn or 3 if I multitask. (Evonix)

[Evonix]

ya that was me

[Evonix]

((Hm. You should compensate for only four actions by making the actions more powerful.))

i have two actions  :p (carp)

[carp]

yeah evonix got on my computer posted something on my account logged onto his account then i came back so he got off and i posted something on his account now i have logged on my account
also i wanted to add on that last post "i have two actions most turns"

Also, Koshu and Rosabel need to post actions before we can move on...

Sorry, I have been having internet problems.

Turn 20, I belive; perhaps we can do a bit less failing this time:
175 cultists: clear a path through spike, pitfall and deadfall traps so we can safely leave our base. (Ideally get the traps to serve as defenses like they are supposed to, but just removing them would be fine.)
200 heavily armed cultists: guard the base. (This means, if inquisitors try to build traps or siege engines or anything else around the base, you shoot at them.)
80 empowered insane cultists: continue research, it is not like you can go double-insane, right?
Koshu: recruit.
Any cultists Koshu just recruited: set up a secondary base elsewhere. Preferably with reduced amounts of horrible death.

Clear path: [6] They find a path through the trap field the only way they know how: drawing straws and walking through it. Eventually they find a path, but it may have been more costly than would be ideal... The traps seem to have been laid specifically to make it hard to leave the base, and once they find a way out the safe path seems obvious. Stupid inquisitors, and those idiots who didn't even mark out the path when they left before. (-75 cultists, no longer booby trapped)
guard better, dammit!: [3] They are feeling lazy today so they just set up some mirrors to keep an eye on everywhere at once and leave about 20 dudes watching while the rest get snacks. Realistically, their eyesight isn't going to be up to the task of seeing a mile away inside forest cover, even if they had a watchtower which they don't. (20 heavily armed cultists guarding, watch mirrors set up)
Research II, the Researchence: [6] They find a spell that causes humans to explode. The more humans, the bigger the explosion. Don't ask how they found out. It requires that they be within a ritual circle, so it isn't as useful as it sounds. It appears that they just set them on fire with gasoline, but what would you know about magic, giant flying obelisk? (-80 insane cultists, gained ignite mortal ritual {req gasoline, consumes cultists})
recruit: [6] You convince more poor saps awesome dudes to join your crew of incendiaries winners. For some reason others don't like the idea of dying in a glorious fire going to space. (+75 cultists, +30 inquisitors)
new base: [2] They just stay in the normal base, nothing too remarkable.

Normal Inquisitors: Fire at the base from afar with the siege engines
[4] They fire ballistas and catapults at you from the forest, some of your cultists get killed but the real damage is done to the flimsy tool shed you have been working out of. (-10 cultists, base destroyed)
Armed inquisitors: Prepare for retaliation
[3] Like their ancestors before them, they will wait for the right moment to strike when the enemy marches toward them. Unlike their ancestors, they have M-40s. Also unlike their ancestors, they have no idea what they are doing. About half of them go on break. (75 inquisitors poorly guarding)

i wanted to post this here now that it's closer to game 4

Name: FRAGDRAGÜL THE REPELLENT
Abilities:
-absorb: absorb other horrors and add their abilties that fit within fragdragüls stats to fragdragül
-infection: you get plagued or infected with parasites if you touch it or it's slime
-pulls a being into one of it's pores
-writhe: look really disgusting
-float: it always floats and can float any where like into space
-earthbound:in conjuntion with the abilty above has to stay within atmosphere for 2 days every week
-squirt: closes all pores forcing a massive amount of slime through its mouth
-the darkness within: fragdragül can bring bring the darkest thoughts of the subconscious into the front of the mind.
Appearance: A floating eyeball the size of a city dripping yellowish green sludge from its many gaping pores and constantly covered in parasites scrabbling all over its surface through its many greenish yellow tentacles and in and out of its many pores and orifices.
Occasionally through it's pores as they slowly dilate and contract you can see, its gigantic brain hanging at the top of the mind boggling emptiness clinging to the sagging flesh inside. at the bottom is a swamp of digestive juices and half digested meals that constantly move and mutedly squelch. All around are massive sails of flesh that absorb the air to fuel it's body, in the centre suspended by veins, muscle, and sinew you can see the massive heart cloaked in the rotting intestines of many long dead beings.
In the middle of a huge clump of greenish red tentacles at the back is an enormous gaping maw filled with thousands of teeth of all shapes and sizes that can rotate and extend individually. In the front its giant iris is filled and coloured with the partially rotted corpses of many beings both alien and familiar at the centre it's massive pupil looms seeing all and all seen if you gaze into its centre your deepest horrors will come true in your mind. As real for you as a rock on the ground but for your friends and family you will just be a raving madman. people will not deny this being for it stems from their own mind an amalgamation of the horrors of the subconcious.

Homeworld: a plane of eternal nothingness no day no night no light no dark the monsters writhe in the eternal blank where nothing thrives except nightmares and hate of many beings wherein life dies and death thrives ages drag on into eternity's of torment, this is not a realm of shadows for shadows require both light and dark here there is nothing but pain and suffering fueling the dark lives, of the abominations of the imagination this is the place behind the eyes where life stems but also the end of life the destruction of love the subconcious of nightmares the darkness that lurks inside of everyone the darkest of thoughts the most horrendous emotions in these depths it seems everything deserves to die these are the voices that say "put your hand in the fire", "jump off the building", "push her in the fire", "throw him off  the building" here is where the horrors of other dimensions stand no ground where all repulsion all hate all disgust stems, a force more powerful than any physical realm any material force the hatred of universes the destruction of all.
-Presence: 0(the parasites and stuff are only if you actually touch him)
-Mindlock: 1(has a brain the size of a city though it's pretty easy to access)
-Power: 3(just look at this thing)
-Physique: 0(is made from the horrors of the mind)
-Appeal: 1(comes from the mind some of it lurks within us all)
goal: to drag out the suffering of the many and steal the thoughts of the few.
