Good to have you back, Lore.

Though I have to ask, did someone drop out?

No, nobody dropped out (at least that I know of)... I allowed Nor to come back in for several reasons, thus increasing the number of gods to 20; if somebody drops out, you'll be informed immediately (so you can bring in your friend, right?).

Do you mean things haven't been interesting for you so far in this game? ;)

*blushing*

Please do not put words into my mouth, High L-rd. Things have been quite interesting, thank you. Stressful, but interesting.

I just believe with two of the line of Bhakti as part of the current Pantheon, that there are some good stories ahead with Nor Yekith's return.

(and cho is no longer the only deity returned from the Second Age)

OGC, you make an assumption that Calais has a problem with Nor Yekith and is immediately at odds with him because of an argument with bhakti.

Welcome back, Lore. How long will you be staying? hehehehhe

*was speaking OoC, mi'Lady*

I see the potential for good storylines. I think it would be fascinating for Calais to find common ground with Nor Yekith, despite her heritage. Good storylines does not imply they are automatically at odds with each other.

Nor Yekith's first post outright names cho a foe. I do not remember such being blatantly the case. Again, it will be interesting to see what storyline developes.

Having a fellow slitherer around will certainly be interesting. :twisted:

Ah, I see. I just didn't understand why you singled out calais and zeph.

I think nor made it clear that everyone is his foe. heh.

Interesting stories to be sure.

Everyone from the Pantheon of the Second Age, anyway. Or, other than Queeaqueg, the majority of the old alliance. As of now, that's cho. And possibly, those of the line of Bhakti.
(although we have yet to hear if Dante Simjenson still lives on Eiran, or any of the other deific offspring of the Second Age)

We can only see what developes.

Well, Lore, I have a request: you are usually fairly quiet in the game thread. I for one, would appreciate more stories from you.

that goes for dorian as well. :)

Rejoice, for the turn is 60% complete!

Cryptic hint #4: Someone claimed 3 - count 'em, 3 - cities in a single fell swoop!

Cryptic hint #5: an insane number of Orders, Brotherhoods and other organizations is sprouting up this turn... including the infamous Order of the Cudgel :P

Cryptic hint #6: Another city has been contested between two deities, though the means of contesting have been much different and no blood has been shed (yet). We still have one clear - if unlikely - winner there.

Wish I could believe the three cities were mine, but I don't think there's much chance of that, heh. I hope I haven't had any Orders or so on, though I can see how it might happen around places where I only acted indirectly this turn...

Honestly, I don't even know if he's still interested in playing. It's just that's now two exceptions made for other players. Not that it's all that important, but... *shrug*

Then may I suggest that you talk with this friend of yours and find out if he's still interested? I guess it won't create too many problems to add one last deity - bringing the total to 21 - since the processing time won't change too much.

Thanks, Xar. Sent an email off. We'll see.
