I agree about the map being a bit too small in that form.

Also, @Frengo, each time I see your name I think of this song:



Just replace "Django" with "Frengo."

IMO, keep a Tiny Pic AND IMGUR form in the OOC.

Alright, so I'll make TinyPic copies available to all those who need them, as and when I update the RP's map. The Imgur version will be used for those of us who are not constrained by the Chinese security services or Mussolini's School Filter.

@Shorticus Nice, now I've got a gigantic ego. I might go on tumblr later and make outrageous statements to upset the masses.

Okay, so now now the map thing is kinda sorted, I'm going to move onto the sheets, and at some point, add a key! :D

EDIT: TinyPic version of map added. Frengo does not discriminate.

Alright peeps, we're nearing completion.

However, there is little doubt in my mind that I have missed something out; I can foresee myself having to make many adjustments to correct problems that may at some point arise.

At the moment, I'm thinking Date. How do we date things? Should I go and find a Calendar generator, or allow for different civs to use their own calendars? Maybe the middle ground - provide a universal calendar, but allow for a civ to make their own. Then again, maybe its something that should be developed at a later date? And we should just rely on the four seasons for now?

HMmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

But yeah, the entry sheets are in their final draft form. I've left history out for obvious reasons, and have been seeking only the kind of information that gives a good idea of the shape your civ is taking. Does it look like I've missed something out?

Having been at it hard for 2 hours, I think I need to step away for a bit.

Anyway, anything you want to see included or explained, give a shout out could ya? (I haven't forgotten about the key, will get to that after a quick break)

You know...

It could be a pointless little "mini-game," but you could say that whoever "wins" the first era (makes the biggest gains in the actual first era) - whether that be diplomatically or culturally or militarily - gets to decide what becomes the most commonly used dating system at that point, much like how A.D. and B.C. are the most common ones used now and they revolve around the birth of Jesus. Until then, I'd just say "one hundred years from the dawn of civilization" or something.

I'm feeling silly for suggesting that, but little things like that could be much cooler "rewards" for "winning" than anything else.

Hmm... what to play as?...

Humans are boring, Dwarves and Elves are too common. What other races do I like?

Oh I know! I could play as Kobolds of some form!

Not kobolds like from WoW however, those stupid dog faced things don't deserve the name kobold.
Luckily, I have a book filled with information about kobolds I could take from, but of course simply stealing ideas from one source and not thinking on my own would be boring. Perhaps fuse the ideals and culture of those kobolds with the culture of another people? Hmm...

Eh, I'm not sure there should be any established "rewards" for "winning" really. I personally don't want it turned into something people try to "win". But for dates, I say we could just have an OOC "from the dawn of civilization (start of the RP)" calendar while IC all the civilizations have their own.

I do like this idea, but that pesky Sovereign has once again countered idealism with the voice of reason!

If I start allotting imaginary trophies to people, it'll increase the chances of but-hurt syndrome occurring - for which there is no known cure.

So what I'll do, is provide a universal calendar for anyone to use - but allow for players to invent their own, if they wanna be special and hip. I doubt the calendar will play a significant role in posts, but from time to time we might need it to keep everyone in roughly the same step.

I'll use a random generator (man I'm lazy!) and put it up for all to see.

Okay, so now we have a "Promethean Calandar", I present to you, the Prometheans!

The Prometheans will be a significant NPC entity upon the RP's start; they were the first race to establish a far reaching Empire (thus enabling their culture to spread to all corners of the continent), but who have suffered terribly at the hands of a reccurent plague that targets only the female side of their population.

Their Empire has been reduced to a chunk of land with three cities, and they will definitely be on a permanent defence.

At the evolution phase's start, players will be free to crush them - or try to save them, if their ancient species possessed such compassion!?

This also serves as an example entry sheet.

Hiya! I've been kind of silently following the roleplay (with a lot of interest!!), eagerly waiting to shove a hand in. I figured I'd draft a sheet now that we're able to do so, and I'll be sure to post any questions I have in the future.

EDIT : I also totally didn't mean to post this, so WIP for a lil' bit longer!

Been differing on the fence over whether to add more or launch.

I've gone with the latter, here's the OOC.

If any issues arise at any point, I'll fix them on the fly.
