Turn sent. [Syl Embattled], please glance over that and make sure I'm within spec. I was a little fuzzy on what would require an expenditure of power, and what was just Nyx acting. My first pass had those two things reversed, but this way seemed to make more sense.

I've seen it. It's mostly fine. One thing you tried to do doesn't quite work that way, but I didn't see a reason for the intent not to work out considering another action. I'll explain more in your results.

Thanks for taking a look. Then I'll work on this other stuff while I wait for results:

Does this include Trial II? That came just as my life was starting to spin out of control, so I never submitted anything for that one. I got the III - A, a description of the afterlife, but I never got III - C, Nyx's part in that afterlife.

So, given some time this weekend, I'd hoped to get some stuff hashed out for both of those.

Yes, that's fine.

Reminder to the players: deadline is August 1st. That's this coming Wednesday. Two days from now.

Reminder to the GM: I'm trying to make sure that my enthusiasm for the game is visible (instead of just being enthusiastic via txt to Fist), in spite of life being poopy. [Yes, that sounded sarcastic, but wasn't meant to be.]

Autarch, sir.

Serenity's turn is also sent. I reworked the aspect you have stated concern about, but if you feel it needs more tweaking and would like me to address it further this turn, it would be most appreciated if you will inform me as you can.

Just stumbled across this image on Facebook. Am wondering if there is a way I can work it in to my next turn. Or one of the others on the link. Just breathtaking, IMO.

I've received 3 results. 1 player has withdrawn, another 1 is sending turns in when he can. That leaves 2 others.

So the other two would be goat and me.

And regarding your music post, Autarch...

While the style of music is not to my taste, the lyrics are awesome, and anything that prompts me to give Stravinsky's Le sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring) another listen, is always a good thing in my book.

Thanks. :biggrin:

This seems like a wonderful opportunity for you to work on what Serenity looks like in the Crown realm. Appearance is all up to your imagination up there.

I'm still waiting on one player to get their submission in.
