Second Post updated with Gods. I left out chaoticag since he hasn't posted again - if you're still interested chaoticag just PM or post and I'll put you in. Nobody's worshiping anything yet.
Aside from some clarifications from Shikogan, Nilocy, and maybe Draigh, we're ready to go. The map needs a quick update - I'll get it momentarily. For the at least the first turn populations and worship figures will be abstract, until I figure out some population growth and faith systems. Other than that, there's nothing left to cover. EDIT: One other clarification - Duke, you asked for I/K 19 for your location, but it's pretty crowded in there. Anywhere else you'd rather be?
Consider this the Official Lead-In for Turn 1. Turn posts can look like this-
RP Stuff, as much or little as you want.
Spoilered: Whatever actions you want to take.
Spoilered: How you want to spend unused points.
I'd prefer if points are not spent in advance, since I'd have to generate totals and figure out how you want them distributed. You say what you want to do, I dole out points, you spend them and described your next actions, and on it goes. A system will work itself out.
So... I guess everyone who wants to can get started. For this first turn just describe where you are, and what you want your species to be doing in general. Big events, migrations, settling in, drives toward inventions, major mutation, whatever you can think of. See the old threads for examples. Gods might want to wait for their chosen to make their moves before deciding how you want to favor them, but I don't presume to boss gods around. You don't have any PP to spend, but I'll take your godly wills into account.
There are no special events in play, the sun has turned from green to it's natural orange again, the world is warming up to a temperate climate, the funguslands have receded to an equilibrium, and the skies are clear. Whatever you want to be doing, do it. I'll consider Turn 0.5 over on Wednesday-ish (we're worldwide, and I live at night), or after everyone posts, whichever comes first. Then, it's officially Turn 1. Viva!
