Just looked for the post where said mud dragon was first mentioned. Hard to believe it's been three whole summers since then...

Results are out. Let me know if I missed anything. I already caught one mistake, and another that I decided I could live with.
Man, that was a lot of writing. Let me know if it's worth it. If you'd rather have simpler, to the point (and faster to get out) results, let me know.
And good job, guys. Great turn by all.

I guess others got the results with lots of writing, so I'm fine with this. Heh. And I think your pace is great. Whatever amount of writing you put into it isn't making the turnaround too long. Not by a long shot.

I received some decent narrative, which I love as I love all game stories. So I am very happy with this.
And I agree with Fist. Turn around rate is awesome.
On another matter, you mentioned finals were yesterday. I hope they went well. Are you free from school for the summer? Or are you taking classes "Summer B?"

Just want to remind everyone that Stonemaybe is camping in a field at the Glastonbury Music Festival for the next week or so. Responses from his deity will be delayed...

Coolness, Fist.
I hope you'll share some of the details in story form or some way, after submitting.
If nothing turns up in the game thread that must be attended to this midsummer between now and deadline, I am hoping to have Virelai finish something she has been working on for awhile. Details on doing so have thus far been elusive for this struggling writer though...

I just want to make clear that the limits on non-DSP actions do not apply to important, well-known (between the player and myself) assets. Use them judiciously, of course, but don't think that I'm cutting off or severely limiting major plot lines that have already been developed.
If you are unsure if something qualifies, just PM me. I'll make an effort to note what things/people fall under this category in future results.

Autarch, you'd previously confirmed that we could make "down payments" against larger power expenditures if we didn't have enough power all at once to do some action. (e.g. - I have 2 DSP available this turn, and wish to create a second High Priest, I can spend my 2 DSP now and then the final DSP next turn). I had heard from another player that while this was true, the final result might be slightly less effective than if I'd spent all three DSP on the same turn. Would you comment on this?
It is my belief that a High Priest is a High Priest. A temple is a temple. I guess I could imagine other actions have levels of effectiveness, though.

No, I don't think it will be less effective, though that might be a possibility in certain situations. Generally speaking, though, the only drawback is that you can't get back whatever you spend and can't get anything until you finish the process (except for the first effort towards augmenting a divine artifact).
But yes, temples are temples and high priests are high priests.
