Not sure why I specifically said the southern edge. I'm just waking up so I thought I read you said something about the south. I think Gorgenmast would be okay with putting the mountain in any direction, so long as it isn't the center. So anywhere along the edges of the Western Erg would be good, I think.

Probably crazy for doing this, but I do feel a bit more confident taking on another rp, so I think I'll be joining this :)

So with that done. @Flagg I have a question, how do you feel about my faction(another city-state) making use of a small army of ancient crystal-powered robots? They would be tough, but not unstoppable, and the crystals(my city's possible major export) that give them life would be quite exposed, so a good shot, swing or stab can take one down in the instant.

If it seems way too out there, no problem, I'll think of something else :)

Robot in question [+]

I would say- a small army? No. A faction with crystal-things that's working on backwards engineering a robot-thing based on archeo-tech recovery? That would work.

That's unfortunate, not a ton of space down there. But better than nothing I suppose. I had hoped to be in between flagg and cruiser's people

I dont see a problem with you being beneath the Western Erg and adding a mountain there. I would suggest, perhaps, that the Godfangs might be a better location for a subterranean faction, since the Western Erg is basically nothing but dune sea- but if that's where you want to be that's no problem. I'll add the mountain to the next draft of the map.

@Flagg Sounds good. Now to think it through on the crystals and what purpose they would serve.

You have a point, that's just off to the side a bit and rather distant from a lot of the action. The other thing is that in their sheet it mentions that the big mountain is a lone mountain of enormous size, possibly the tallest in the world, changing it to be part of a mountain range might be difficult you know?

well, again I dont mind what you do. but keep in mind that the Western Erg will be very difficult to cross, so most likely large armies will have to go around it- passed the godfangs,

Well, then I suppose I can have them be there in those mountains instead. Can you add an especially large mountain with the name I specified though?

sure!

Can we get a quick list of what has been covered so far in terms of faction themes? I'm having a lot of trouble settling for something I'm happy with and think will keep me interested (ADHD is a bitch). I'm thinking I might rethink my faction altogether, while still keeping some of the elements I thought of (and the geography, 'cause I'd hate to be like "Herp, can you completely change my little corner of the map?").

It looks like we're covering the following:

- A Magocracy (I wish I had thought to do this one first; it's an awesome concept I've always liked.)
- A college of isolated nerds (huehue)
- A straight-up merchant city
- What may be the opposite of a Magocracy

There's a few others but I think I'd rather get a one (or few) line breakdown of the themes from the players themselves (even for the ones mentioned above), since some of the details that define them may not even be revealed in the sheets themselves.

EDIT: Reason is so I can avoid doing a repeat of someone else's idea.

@Pepperm1ntsWe have:
- Magocracy/Oligarchy
- 4 City-State/Nation-State
- Magical College
- Slaving Empire
- Theocratic Order
- Trbal Federation
- 2 Empires

At least that's what I counted. No one said you couldn't repeat a theme and have your own magocracy.

Also, the opposite of a magocracy is a technocracy :)

Will check all the IC I missed now.

Hi, is there room for 1 more?

I quite like the city you have. If you do change your concept, can we keep Qarthine as an NPC that you can play as you feel like?

<Snipped quote by Milkman>

Yep!

Cool. Especially because i already took the liberty to start on my nationsheet :D

>Furries

Joy.

>Furries

Joy.

Indeed. You can have the joy of killing them :D

I'm making great strides on my sheet, I hope to have it mostly set by the end of the day.

Dead Cruiser, do you mind if we have a history of some conflict? I could use either you or flag volunteering for that.

Is there any nation that is interested in having relations with mine?

I'll review your sheet more thoroughly later, but it'll probably be fine. Azar has fingers in basically every pie in Azoth.

I'm not sure it would be so much you having fingers in my pie so much as old hostilities and mutual rivalry.
