Kevin's Watch

So, due date for this turn's orders is Friday, February 18th, 11 pm GMT time (6 pm EST time, if you prefer). Let's see what you guys make of the time you have...

Excellent!!

So... I had a couple questions / comments.

I understand from posts that Anaya has relinquished her divinity and boarded the Arc. Does that mean that Anaya's player is now playing "the divinity formerly known as Anaya", or that he has left the game? The fact that the map still shows Anaya's cities in grey makes me think the former. We're kind of busy saving the world, but I'd be interested in role-playing interaction with a portion of the deity who created me. Perhaps we could do a little vignette of mother and child(ren) finally working out their problems, just as the world ends. A real tear-jerker.

Halideva is no longer listed as a deity, and we're told that we cannot detect her presence outside of the Tree. And yet her cities are also still shown on the map as owned by her. Does that mean she's still around in some capacity, continuing to draw on the faith of her followers (perhaps further empowering the Tree)?

Halideva's cities are marked to signal that the Paragons are ruling those cities. Since there's a lot of them and they are very powerful, I figured it would be a good idea to give you all an indication of where they rule; I'll change the legend with the next turn.

As for Anaya, that's up to the player to decide and/or reveal; until that happens, the cities are going to be marked with her color.

Could use clarification on one point - should I bother sending actions this turn? I've not been told what my situation is yet.

You are soon to be eliminated

Check Bel's PMs.

Stone? Did you just drop out??

Hmm, then again, it could just be donating her power for the turn. People are dropping left and right, and I'm getting jumpy! Ignore me.

My Turn is in!

OK, I'll take you off of the mass txt that'll go out in about an hour.

yeah - Turns need to be in by 6PM Eastern to be considered!!

heh, I sent mine yesterday.

Turn sent, with 5 hours to spare.

Stone? Did you just drop out??

No not at all (-unless Xar sees it that way).

We have a Tree of Life, for me it's not complete without a god/dess hanging from it.

But will just nine days be enough?

Yes, I txted Stone to see if Brid would learn runes.

And another thing, Brid wasn't just gonna stand by and let someone else *try* to do 'Forsaking'!

Nine days Murrin? That Odin was a wuss - Brid's there for the turn!

Still missing several turns... I'm surprised, actually. Because of this, I'm extending the deadline until tomorrow (saturday), 11 pm GMT (6 pm EST) but after that, no other turns will be accepted...

This Halideva seems to have been a noble, powerful goddess. But she did not have the power to create anything on par with Yggdrasil. Nine days hanging on the Ash was like unto an entire year on Eiran's Tree of Life.

To my knowledge, the important turns are in. Close it off now!
