Y-y-you mean it's time for the birth of the calamity known as Humankind?

@Vec

Eh, I meant more the animal kingdom rather than humans.

Edit: HYPE train deflates

[Vec]

@Vec Oh it even worse Vec. Logos isn't just making humans... he's GIVING them things.

@Dawnscroll

My Hider

@Vec Oh it even worse Vec. Logos isn't just making humans... he's GIVING them things.

@Dawnscroll

-.- what kinds of things

[Lugubrious]

@Lugubrious Does Galbar have all the animals from RL?

@Kho

Yeah. Except for mosquitoes.

What's all this with being down on humans? I for one am a general proponent of humans.

@Lugubrious

Damnations and Curses! Mosquitos were exactly what I needed *weeps silently in a corner*

I'm not down on humans at all, I just wanted to be sure that everything is in place for the great unveiling of Mankind. Anyone planning on creating humans had better make it good, or they'll be receiving a very long, cold and hard stare of doom.
I know Logos is creating them wherever he is, but we need them on Galbar too.

@Kho

just steal them from Logos when he makes them.

[Dawnscroll]

@Kho Then steal a few once they've bred. You yourself said that members of all species are fair game to other gods to do whatever.

Edit: Besides, have I ever let you down?

[Double Capybara]

@Kho And for that you can count on Ilunabar. Though I will probably not manage to do this stuff on this turn, since I need to level up and all that, but on the next for sure.

This brings an important topic, lets stay D&D/Warhammer fantasy tech at most for a while ok? I don't want silly mortals on my space anytime soon :<

[Kho]

I don't really care how humans get to Galbar, so long as we get Ug the-not-even-Caveman on Galbar soon.

The hain are amazing, but Galbar is not Galbar if there are no humans T-T

@Double Capybara

As I said earlier, I want to explore prehistory fully. If anyone goes about advancing things too quickly, then technological, social, economic and civilisational regression is not unheard of

*technology includes magic

[Dawnscroll]

@Kho You can always go the Atlantis route. Deity gets pissed, suddenly a civilization colapses into the sea.

@Dawnscroll

Or we can go collapse of the Roman Empire route. Tribals get pissed, dark ages for 1000 years

[Cyclone]

@Kho@CycloneSo, have we passed the 15 billion years mark?

@Vec

What was decided upon at the start of this turn again? 12.2 billion or some odd number, IIRC?

Considering that the Hain are now about we can't have many more gigantic timeskips. At absolute most 100 million years would have passed I say, but in reality not many events on a huge scale happened so I am tempted to drop it as low as 20,000 years having passed this turn.

That would allow for the existing lifeforms and races to proliferate without creating an appreciable tech jump. Since Hain already have primitive housing and speech, a big time jump would bring us into the medieval times if not modern technology levels.

At this point I doubt we'll ever increment more than 100,000 years per turn again, and while that sort of breaks the star mechanic you made for Ull I don't want to have the entire timeline revolving around that. If we go for realism and making sense here, Ull will probably remain in his current phase for the forseeable future.

So to answer your question Vec, we shouldn't be anywhere near 15 billion years and might never get there

Anybody else care to weigh in on this?

@Kho

*Nervous laughing*

[Lugubrious]

I'm never a fan of gratuitous timeskips that are simply there because people feel they ought to have been there. Making this the case retroactively would mean it took Slough millions of years to walk around the shore of the Fractal Sea, for instance, but I suppose time's relative for deities.

@Kho

I'm gonna refrain from giving you a lengthy history lessons on that misconception.

Dark Ages weren't Dark.

They were partially cloudy.

She's easily distracted? "Oooh! A blade of grass!"

@Lugubrious

These aren't timeskips, more timeframes within which things just happened. I wouldn't say that Slough walking took millions of years, but the creations that have come about while she walked have certainly taken a long time (something like the oasis, while not seeming to take long for Slough, probably took thousands upon thousands of years)
