You are a Cryswarm
« on: August 23, 2011, 12:37:13 am »

There you were, not having to worry about anything anymore after having been suddenly transmuted from leaf to navy-hued crystal, trying to position yourself in a way that would make a reflective variation of morse code to attract a fairly nice looking shade of dark blue in the distance, when some armored wizard pierces your branch and another leaf's, grabs you, and tosses you and the other into a giant pot. He then throws in another object, which doesn't look too ver-OWOWOWOW.

...A few minutes later, you find yourself inside the same pot, but stuck to the other crystal. He says Hi, then asks how he can say hi, since you are both just inchlong, somewhat transparent navy crystals. You both then try to move away, but get reminded of how you were before the OW-ness. There are a couple of other crystals laying in the pot, in the state you'd now call dead. Then again, this pot was painful to be in, and you can see much more definitively now than before, the sky seems to be made out of ice that somehow hasn't melted yet. Or maybe become a dwarf and diggy a hole, crystals look sharper than leaves. So much to do, too little way to decide upon it! You tip over in your confusion and end up atop Hi.



Like Nanite, but on the other end of the probability slider due to it being a magic-powered eventual swarm of connected crystals instead of a eventual swarm of nano-scale robotics.

Singular crystals will have nothing to recharge their spark from, and will quickly dischage into the surroundings pointlessly and become an inanimate hunk of crystal again, thus to get anywhere you start with a duo. This will be in the WIZARD world, but since thats hardly been actually defined very much for various reasons except somewhat broadly, you don't really need to read that whole thing to know where we are or what there is nearby. (We aren't too near Vix, Zion, or Violentrix anyway, this was some other wizard stumbling upon the recipe, though we may see them later. The wizard is not good enough to control the you, though) There are 10 other crystals laying in the pot, you need 20 to process more than two-part instructions.

But lets start already, shall we?
1. Assimilate: Crystals
2. Attempt: Dig>Pot
3. Attempt: Climb>Pot
4. Speak: Hi.

Turn 1
Code: [Select]
Assimilate: Crystals
You tip and top over and over until you reach one of the other crystals, then spark at it. After a few sparks hit it, it sparks back and sticks to the two of you, which gives you an idea. With three of you, you could stick to both of them while they act like the wizard's movement does instead of flipping yourself over and over. It certainly would be more efficient. You decide to get the rest of your fellows first, though.

For what it's worth, I think that you should have it be suggestions by posts, and only have polls when people are seriously divided about what to do for various reasons.
1) You get more and different suggestions
2) It bumps the thread up so it doesn't get lost on the second page as easily
3) People can easily elaborate on what exactly they want to happen
Yeah, less people would have a say, but the people who care the most or have the best ideas would still say, and you would get a fair representation of what people want anyways

Side questions: Is this from some background game/media?

I recommend that we have 1 crystal split off, and if the wizard throws more crystals into the pot to collect them and have them run to join us (if possible) when he isn't looking.

You can't have just one split off, it'll fizz out from having nothing else to recharge from.
The Cryswarm is from my You Are Wizard game, like I said in the OP, but not near anything in that so you don't have to read the whole giant thing to know stuff.

Someone else agree with lemon and I'll switch it to that.

I think that lemon has a good point. While polls are very effective for large numbers of people, posting bumps and allows elaboration. I think that his plan is a good one.

Also, walking is cool. We should walk. Just sayin'.  :D
