Added my first pic of a Ssathiss in the Art thread. Hope you all enjoy. I intend to draw some more, time willing. :)

The multi-talents of many on the Watch amazes me.
Well done, Montressor.

No no, I moved it... you can't speak of Contentment points and drops in the Game Thread - that's definitely a breach of roleplaying :P

What about Wealth and Treasury in the Game thread, Xar?
For instance...possible negotiations to buy back followers taken as slaves?

Do not use "Points" or mention rates and so on.. any explicitly game-stats talks should be held either privately (via PM), in the Court forums, or in the Comments thread as a last resort.

Yeah, that's why I avoid mentioning DRP in-character.

Yeah, I know. But sometimes I think of the game as a combination of realms - fantasy and cyber. Ya know? No biggie, though. I understand.

I couldn't find instructions anywhere in the Contest thread, but I'm guessing we are voting in the same way as we did in the last game?
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

I don't know how that was, so, is it via an anonymous poll?

We PM our top three picks, listing them 1, 2, 3 to Xar. I think a 1st place vote gets 1.0 full point, a second place vote gets .5, and a third place vote gets .25.

I think...

Yeah, we used to just email Xar with our first, second and third picks. You got one point for a first, half a point for a second and quarter of a point for a third and the person with the most points won (obviously).

I am simply astounded at the quality of writing Pantheon has produced. Anaya's latest story in the game thread is among some of the best I've read.

Great stuff, Anaya and everyone!

:thumbsup:

Yep, please send me the three preferences by Feb 8... some votes already started coming. And I concur with Balon - I think the quality of the writings (and the sheer number of them) for P3 is exceptional... I'm glad to see everyone so excited about the game as to write so much and partecipate with such enthusiasm to the contests. Thanks for making the game what it is :D

Thank you. It's far from my best, but I'm glad you like it. :D

Just mentioning that I'm gonna be away for a week or so from Wednesday probably, but not to worry, as I will mail my moves and my contest votes tomorrow at the latest, so as not to miss any deadlines.
