Resisting urge to kill the thieving gypsies.

Do you mean the Wickermen? Cause if not, I have no clue what you're talking about. And I'm pretty sure your supposed to say 'Romani' not 'gypsy'.

Do i have to submit a character or something? I dont see many guidelines...

Its in the first post of the OOC thread. As in, this one, like the third paragraph in in the "Code" thing.

Code: [Select]

Name: No online-username-type names (e.g. 271ElfBeard828 or STEELFIRETRON)
Sphere: Up to two words to describe the domain you control
Primary form: Fluffy but not crunchy
Symbol: At least tangentially relevant and SFW
Description: A few sentences about motivations. No past Bubbles, no ascensions, no coherent history.

Its either that or the ghost of Hitler is possessing him again. Its getting to be a real problem.

I feel i should say something in the Wickermen's defense as their creator, so I'll see what comes out. While they are definitely sticky- fingered, it's mild. Honestly I meant it as in if they see a cool rock they'l feel compelled to keep it, or pens and such that people have dropped. Not really intentional larceny.

I honestly did not notice their similarities to the old Romani stereotype when I made them up, I just thought wickerpeople sounded cool and I was the god of travel and collecting, so of course I'd loan them those traits.

Although I'm just now realising that being the god of travelling collectors could leave me a sort of de-facto god of bandits and thieves... and I think i'd be cool with that. In fact it gives me some ideas...*Swivels chair away, whilst stroking a large white cat*

If only you made them of straw.

Theory: The Mountain is actually the same mountain from Dante's "Purgatorio" and was actually a metaphor for purgatory the whole time!

My afterlife is a shadow copy of the mountain. Those who manage to move a large and heavy boulder to the peak get reincarnated.

References!

[Detoxicated]

So youre saying the mountain has two identical copies, one of the spirit, the other of shadow variety?

[Demonic Spoon]

I'd normally be in favour of ignoring and continuing, but if there's a problem with the game itself that caused the lull then that is an obvious problem for that option.

[hector13]

I'm quite happy to continue as things are. I'm reasonably sure KJP was having intersex interweb troubles quite recently. Are they still present?

[Kilojoule Proton]

Demonic Spoon, hector13, &al.: It was indeed mostly an internet/transport problem rather than a problem with the game itself, but it's all reasonably stable now

If we are going to do retry, as is currently leading in the poll, some thoughts from me. Feel free to ignore, this is just some personal impressions on what could be improved, the game was still very fun over-all.

Add limited amount of action-slots for each player: Preferably of two categories, those using divine essence and "free" actions. Less actions overall, but with the implied guarentee that the actions will have a larger chance of accomplishing something. This would potentially limit the frivolous actions, while also decreasing player frustration at their actions doing nothing. Secret actions count against this.

Essence inflation: It was a problem. Bringing back essence caps may be a good idea. I don't know.

Either no census at all, or an accurate one: The census was a joke. We all know it. But jokes get old.

Boring. How about we require frivolous actions to see if we can achieve a maximum amount of nonsense?

[hector13]

Haven't a lot of actions failed because no one invests Essence in them?

I do agree with the Census thing though. Perhaps an investment of Essence in that will suffice as an in-game reason.
