Heh. Well, the problem with churning results out every day for the kessef is that means you guys would have to put in submissions every day. While a couple of you might manage to do that, I doubt it'd be enough to earn a living.
On the other hand, I could create a paypal account for bribes—err, submission enhancement.

This whole "earning a living" thing sounds suspiciously like other conversations we've had. And you'd need a much much larger subscriber base to really pull that off. Or, a lot of textual content and a bazillion ads for webcomics, spliced all around it.
Which, we should take to another forum, 'cause I'm still not done exploring that idea.

OK, results this weekend (Monday, probably, which is a day off for me), deadline extended to Oct. 15.

Sorry, guys. I've been slacking. With the work situation, I've just been feeling kind of stressed and drained. Tried doing results a couple times, but... barely managed to get my submissions in for the last deadline.
Guess I might as well make it a full month delay. Again, sorry.

hmm...
I would, except I'm already building things via turn submission in mythological time. But I haven't technically accomplished anything in mythological time as far as game mechanics goes yet. I don't feel it would be right to claim things that haven't occurred, and may not if power to continue what I'm doing gets waylaid by other concerns in game time.

I never said to claim them. This doesn't have to be for your character. Or, if it is, you can do stuff that your character no longer controls.Menolly wrote:hmm...

Nyx and the mountain formerly known as "Fist" were planning on having had children. They'd be NPCs, with their own agendas, but that would still be a broader richer backstory for all of us to interact with now in the present.
Maybe flush out some of the other NPC gods. There's one for every animal on the list, right? Figure Syl hasn't built them all yet, pick one and start to invent a character for it. What's the god of the Salmon like? There's all kinds of room to play in that has nothing to do with your character.

All? Heh. Try 1.Figure Syl hasn't built them all yet
That's a great idea. Consider it a no-stake challenge.
Or look to Ristra's posts for ideas you can do internally.
Remember, the Stories aren't (necessarily) true, strictly speaking, but that doesn't mean they don't have value.

And as I mentioned before, having dealt with the Autarch's NPCs before, they tend to be not all that nice...
[although I highly suspect Nyx and at least one other tribe, most likely two others if I can figure out who had a "g-dling" and a "g-d touched," have had a run in with them as well]
