That sounds excellent, Alida. We could only find the one Sep found, but that wasn't full size.

We'll not be around much then (got work in less than 4 hours), but we'll be on tomorrow again.

we found a nice city that can be used somewhere, though.

Well I was thinking about working on the power behind relics, and some kinda plot there.

I think we could work on Othea and have it as the main kingdom between us and structure it and such.

we agree there should be some sort of system behind the Relics. It doesn't have to make sense, though.

(Whew finally caught up. Miss a lot when im asleep)

Okay:
1. It would make sense to reboot, (You can keep characters) keep things on a smaller scale, the various cultures and countries and such that we had before was very diverse and interesting, but itd be better if you had characters go there and learn these things instead, so were more focused on the actions of the PCs and how they affect their world rather then completely focus on an invasion that most people ran away from. (Also there'd be less text dumps)
2. Relics should keep a general air of mystery but maybe a bit more knowledge on what they are is needed, if years and years of research have happened there should be more information available on something about them, but we cant have them be overly explained, or it kinda loses some of its mystique
3. I dont know who the new GM would be. I keep up on everything but i dont really post a lot. (Plus people dont really take me seriously)

That image of a suited up dog probably has a bit to do with last part of 3. But its a chuckleworthy image of decent quality, so that doesn't matter much.

We fully agree with discarding most of the NPCs we crafted. Especially the one-shot ones. We just added names to those for depth, not because we actually felt we needed to have them. We're normally rather fond of killing our own (N)PCs, so that'll probably happen again. Especially if it aids the plot.
We're thinking of keeping an invasion, but making it not start so soon.

2. Relics should have some sort of basic rules yes. But again, those rules should be mystical and not really understood. Especially not for the player characters. We'd think they should have some sort of source for their power, something that means most relics can't be on constantly. We'd think it would not be identical source for all, but it could be related.
How relics were made should not be understood, wethinks.

One of the small peeves we have in RPs is that technologies make sense in relation to each other, and that clothing/armor/weapons/etc. are realistic. Mind you, if someone's got the strength of many men, then the armor they wear can be heavier than that of someone with normal strength. It doesn't have to be, though. Chain mail bikinis, breastplates with cleavage, armor with exposed abdomen, etc. never make sense. If you've got the technology to make armor like that, you've got the knowledge of what sort of armor actually protects the wearer. We've no objections to primitives wearing hide loincloths or stuff like that, as societies where that is normal probably don't have the knowledge to make better protection.

We got the raw map from Sparks a bit ago, so we can set up a new map.

I hathe an interest in magics and such so was considering working on the relic side of thing, maybe create a plot for characters to follow regarding the source of relic power (Without understanding how this power exists). If the new GM were to be happy with that.

Alternatively I think every player has a stake in this, so perhaps we could all be in charge in some way? We're all active, we all have issues with some peoples sheets.

Whatch'yall think of that?

I believe artemis said at one point that relics were tied to blood, which would make some sense because blood is something that comes back, so are limits are more in how long we can use our powers before we have to recuperate.
Even if it isnt blood, it should be something organic because it would fit in with the tie between the relic and its user.

If anyone has any photo editing experience they could add kingdom lines and such to help keep the map updated and helpfull.

As for the GM thing, i say we just put it for a vote. maybe something private so no feelings are hurt?

Edit: How about this: http://strawpoll.me/2735538

I added the four most active/present members, people who have been here the longest.

The Relics ARE magic.

That was one of the ideas I was going to tap into. relics being linked to magic and lots of complicated things I CBA typing out right now.

If only three people vote this poll isnt helpfull whatsoever

Not everyone is online yet, gotta give it some time.

Who has voted so far?

I voted.

we're just not sure what to vote, Barks.

We did fix a bit on the map just now. The primary thing we did was really to expand the river count. Extend the ends so they actually start in the mountains. Add side streams. And add a river down from the inland sea.

We're also thinking that maybe changing the pixels to 1x1 km is better than to 2x2km. That makes calculating distances much easier, and it'll be more than large enough for the RP.

The image has a red border where we earlier at least imagined the Kalesian Empire covering.

The image won't work now, as we're still uploading it on this slow net. But it'll be up soonish.

That image is looking good Ellri!

Also, I'm really flattered that you put me up as a candidate Bark, but I really don't think that I'm suited as a gm. I won't mind being co-gm, but I'll go all-out with lore if there isn't someone to stop me, sonces it's kind of my hobby. I'll develop into a despotic monarch if I become gm, no doubt xD So whoever gave me that one vote, thank you! But no thank you. Also, I voted.

I don't want to do it either... but at least you got a vote D:

D'aww. You make me feel loved.

I have a suggestion regarding the relic's power source and how it actually chooses its wearer.

Everyone has a little bit of magical energy inside of them, but those levels frequently aren't enough to rationally sustain relics; users of the artifacts usually have a stronger, more abundant supply than most people, above average let's say. As for how it chooses its wearer, there must be (a) certain condition(s) to be met. For example, Kaiden's bell relic requires the user to be blind. That makes sense, right? But then we have Shin, and let's say that the Mask's conditions were that someone who wears it must be used to following orders without question, but has a potential for making individual thoughts and ambitions outside the instructions (I know this wording is a bit weird, sorry)!
