[OOC] States of Evolution

<Snipped quote by Frengo>

I took three classes based around Statistics.

Three.

I'm a whore for statistics.

@Shorticus

Yeah, when I first met you I was like "Dat hoe take it in EVERY spreadsheet, amirite?"

I'll post a provisional version of the Nation Sheet before I make it live so that everyone can give their feedback on it. That's going to have to be a Friday job though, I think. Fridays are my RP-roids days, on account of me finishing work at 12 and my Mrs not being home until 6.

That's like six hours of Frengo time.

Six hours.

I am living the married dream, biatches!

One more question:

What program are you using to map such pretty coats over the map, folks? I'm using MS Paint and I'm pretty limited because of that. I just want to put a layer of color neatly over the territory Zaqir claims.

Paint .Net, it's the poor man's photoshop - and free.

I think GIMP is supposed to be better, but Paint .Net suits my needs just fine.

EDIT: Sorry, those links were not on purpose. Broken them now.

And so it is done. I look forward to reading everyone's viewpoints on what happened during the Great Journey.

And now, hey look, Not quite Kobold queen. Yay. I rolled dice, if you wanted to know. Why am I not using solid terms? Because people might read the OOC first and I don't want to spoil who the new Queen is that's why.

Amazing post. Lith was like a royal Marco Polo, but better.

[epicberet]

Post should be up today, I was just waiting to see neogreggory's masterpiece before adding my own few brush-strokes. :D

[TheSovereignGrave]

My post should be up today too, though it may be a tad late. I kinda overslept and forgot I was going over my buddy's house to work today.

[Shorticus]

Not going to say when my post is gonna be ready. I'm waiting for a response to a couple PMs.

[epicberet]

Welp. This is taking longer than expected. Probably will post tomorrow - I have to go to work!

[Frengo]

Back from work, just gotta do a few chores and cook dinner, and then y'all have my full attention.

[Shorticus]

Going to start focusing on finishing my post in about ~30 minutes.

EDIT: Pausing to watch the debate tonight.

[Shorticus]

THAT
TOOK
A WHILE

Guys, as usual: yell at me if I screwed anything up. Please.

@neogreggory

I'd like our civilizations to become closer, as my civilization has really only been in contact with Zaqir. I didn't actually have anything particular in mind though, other than an acknowledgment of trade and active cultural exchange.

[Frengo]

Righty'o, I think I've been lenient enough. Let's have this century concluded by tomorrow, shall we? I think we're waiting on Epic and Sigma if I haven't derped.

You know the drill, gentlemen (and ladies? do we have ladies?).

[epicberet]

Hey, so I wrote a monster post, and have had some personal stuff to handle these last few days (all resolved happily, no worries), so it'll be tomorrow before I complete my territory map and summarize changes. But the post is there, with lots of gory, bloody troll-on-troll action. Let me know if there's any problems!

[Shorticus]

I was preparing myself to work on a map for the 5th Century expansion of Zaqir earlier today and was playing with what to name one of the new regions. I settled on "Tunak" for a while, then "Tunak Tu," but then I realized...

...oh...

[ZB1996]

And it's likely none of us would have notice, too. But now it's too late.

On another note, I realized I forgot yet again forgot to add my Arena (Ring of Valor) to my civilization, and it's a little late to edit that in now. I'll do it anyway.

[Shorticus]

RETCON! RETCON! RETCON!

DO IT!

[neogreggory]

You know... We could do away with war across the entire planet and instead have all conflicts that need to be settled violently take place in one of the many arenas that would dot every half decent city on the planet. Hell, might even keep away some dark god or something.

@neogreggory

This is the concept the game called League of Legends is based around... or it was until they did away with the League part of the story and just focused on the Legends. Frankly, the League never made much sense. The reason it doesn't make much sense in the end is because,

A) Some nations have clearly superior armies to others,
B) They'll use them to get what they want from nations which have weaker armies.

But it's a pretty neat idea regardless. But if a nation with a powerful army loses in an arena, chances are they'll say "well fuck this i bet it was rigged" and go on a rampage.

It is a neat idea, though, and I could see the saurians happily using the Ring of Valor to settle disputes with people who REALLY REALLY didn't want to go to war with them. Example: "HEY! WE WANT OUR CITY BACK!" "Well, alright. Let's go murder each other in the Ring. Winner takes the city."
