Lucimay said she's way too busy to be ready for a deadline of the 20th. Since Xar needs to recover a bit (I can just see him, passed out on the floor in a puddle of sweat, dice scattered all around, fevered mutterings... ), we may as well wait until the 27th. Others still haven't said anything, but some are likely in Lucimay's boat.

This isn't quite what I visualized when I said I suspected Xar had a life outside of the Watch, and thus would want a longer break between processing, but it's as good a visualization as any.
And who knows what all may develop on the Game thread (if Vadhaka doesn't destroy us all by entering the mists) in that week and a half? Submittals could change depending on what all is said. If it would take a couple of weeks for Xar to process them from a Saturday submittal, I would hate for the Game thread to go dead for so long like it tends to do while we awaited results.
...any word on the Contest results, Xar?

I believe his player said over in Gen Dis that he has a lot of traveling the next week or so...Jove wrote:Menolly wrote:

Funny, we haven't seen AK.
no. what are YOU doing keeping track of my numbers?Murrin wrote:Luci, do you not keep track of your numbers? You had 33,000 followers last turn; now you have half that number (exactly half the number).
(just teasin')
i save my turns results in a file. i write my story in another file.
creator calculated my people out for me once, with which percentages were warriors and what percentage was just regular people and stuff
like that. but i didn't keep track of it. i don't know how to work those
programs that do that (namely excel, i think).
so..anyway...no. i sorta don't keep track.
ITS MY FIRST TIME PLAYING A RPG OKAY!!! i'm still learning.
oh and you can all feggitabout me having my turn in this coming saturday the 20th. strictly dreaming on me getting all my damn homework done, much less fun stuff like story writing, and turn writing, and poetry writing, and critiquing for Writer's Circle and Pantheon turns. strictly freakin dreamin. not the way I procrastinate. *snort*

AllFather, is it possible to make the deadline later in the day? 1:00 pm GMT is only 9:00 am EDT and even earlier in the rest of the States. Just in case anyone needs to wait until the absolute last minute to make up their minds, it may be difficult that early in the morning for some players.Xar wrote:The clock's ticking, people... deadline to stop him is Friday, 1 pm GMT time.

Well...
I know his player is usually AFK for the weekend by then.
But...
*shrug*
...in case anyone here in the States, oh...say in Washington state for example, makes a last minute decision to spend DRP one way or another on this, if they sign on after 6:00 am PDT on Friday morning, they'll be too late.

Too bad.
If they do it after then, I won't know about it so won't be able to combat it. Scarcely fair huh?
In fact, I'd prefer it an hour earlier just for the insurance that I'll have the chance to respond.
Anyway, the 27th works for me. I gotta submit my actions in the mist by Friday then results of that are usually mid-turn as I understand it.

--A"When three are born of divine blood
Under moonshadow, and amber glows
On all the lands, death is denied
And from the snow, a blood-red rose
Is born to herald a coming storm
When weeping desert heeds the call
And what once was has never been
Alone in darkness, a child will cry
Bereft of life, love, lore and kin
And at his cry, the land will fall
Beneath the ocean's silent waves
Beneath the rolling haze's song
And all that was and could have been
Will lay at last where does belong
Whether on pedestals or quiet graves."

Where exactly did that come from, anyway? I've seen people reference it, but other than the 'translation' in the image thread I don't think it's ever actually been publicly revealed in an in-game sense.
From the number of times I've seen peole post "what prophecy?", it looks like most people just were told by others; I have no idea what the original (in-game) source of it was.

In the Game summary it says
When the second mention appeared, I asked for and received an explanation of what and what has not been fulfilled. As far as I know, I believe the explanation I received is still current.
...and...The AllFather wrote: Elsewhere, a thing shook in its slumber, ever closer to awakening; and an unsettling poem echoed in the mind of a lowly priest.
The first was the only reference I knew of it, until the dagger image appeared. And I wound up filling a part of it the very next Turn after it was vouchsafed to Vadhaka's priest, but at that point I knew nothing of it, as the mention in the Game summary flew right past me, and I didn't think of OGC as a desert deity (not that I had seen the prophecy prior to that move anyway)...The AllFather wrote: Yet even though not all was lost, and the goddess Norn succeeded in closing the portal that had allowed Nephirthos into the world, two more verses of the End Times prophecy came to pass...
