One of each, eh? Are they all on the same sort of scale as the first you mentioned (+9000 followers)?

Xar, any chance for future turns you can give us an update on how far along you are every couple/few days? I don't mind the anticipation so much if I have an inkling of how close you are. Even knowing you have 15 deities to go is a good thing, because I won't get up every morning wondering if results will be in. :lol: Seems silly, I know, but there it is.


Edit: Oh, and also:

Sure, no problem! I only have X deities left to process :twisted:

More seriously, a couple are left, and then I'm done!

No, he didn't kill four Prophets. That would be bad. Two of those four mentioned by Murrin were Orlen and MacLaomainn, who killed each other a couple of Turns ago. No, the guy only killed two Prophets in a turn :D

A lone NPC killing two prophets in one Turn isn't bad???

...I really have to readjust my thinking here...

If that's a player's character, wow...

...of course, I could be getting my terminology confused again...

Holy crap...

If the whiteness on the new map means what I think it means, the Sunset Court went nuts with Aspects and/or manifestations this Turn...

Turn is in! The deadline for next turn will be Saturday, March 29, 11 pm GMT (hey, you didn't think I'd process turns during Easter, did you? :P).

The map now shows Manifested or Aspected deities as bright blue-white areas, bearing the name of the deity in white italics just next to it. However, it makes no distinction between Aspect and Manifestation - so don't assume all those deities are fully Manifested!

Uh, Xar, I don't mean to be a stickler, but didn't you say that I would have an easier turn in celebration for my pregnancy?

Why then do I have three crusades launched against me?????

I may be jumping the gun here, but I didn't get my results, Xar. Could you resend?

Well said, Paolo.

not nice, murrin. i don't like that word.

i'm sure you don't intend anyone to feel that they FAILED, do you murrin?

just in case anyone takes that silliness to heart, NO ONE HAS FAILED at anything!!!

as long as everyone is playing the hands they're dealt to the best of their abilities and having fun..no one fails.

It's just an over-used, well known internet meme. Nothing meant by it.

(I was only going to post the image with the circle, but at the last minute decided I'd be wasting a perfect opportunity to reference said meme. All for humour's sake.)

Being able to gloat about the Courts is all that keeps me from being upset at no longer being a top-three deity. ;)
