Both pseudo Judea and pseudo Phoenicia are really enticing options. I think I have to go with pseudo Phoenicia (D), though, just as a change of pace. We were involved in the administration of a big city last game.

D, I sacrifice the unwilling Basscop in Asherah's name, a fish for the fish god. Just kidding, I'd never. I love ya Basscop!GoneWithTheTornado posted:What shall we do we the Drunken sailor, early in the morning? Voliun posted:D What's the absolute worst it could happen dealing with fish ? But seriously let's try to be a little more careful in this game, Diogines explicitly told us that comedy options and risky moves can end the game early. So let us stuff ourselves with forbidden fruit, worship all the dark gods, whilst openly sinning against the one god and juggling necronomicons.

A. Maybe this time we do manage to plant our butt on a golden throne, even if it isn't of the magically floating variety.

D because I judge it to be the most likely to lead to us becoming a Pirate King.

MORNING VOTE COUNT An initial count of the vote in the morning, as of the time of this post: A. 14 B. 5 C. 6 D. 35 An update will go up this evening, but I will answer very, very basic questions about each starting location till then. Anything about specific persons or practices, it is too early to cover, but things like the local environment and very basic information about each group is fair game. Piracy does not exist, since there is no real travel or commerce by sea yet and thus nothing to steal. D is the most primitive and isolated starting group. A is the most advanced and interconnected and B and C somewhere inbetween, C being more advanced but B being better traveled. As always, voting is open till we post otherwise and you can vote or edit at any time. Diogines fucked around with this message at 14:30 on May 21, 2013 |

Throwing in a vote for D as well, I think it's cool that it's the only choice that puts us in line to be a part of the clergy. In a Dante game, it's probably good to be on the good side of the big guy, fish, or whatever.

I'm surprised B is getting so few votes. Don't you people want to travel? See the world? Free to roam hither and yon, our only limit the horizon?

With D we'll probably travel a whole lot anyway, alone at our own pace, without worrying about, protecting and dealing with a metric fuckton of nomads.

We were a god last game. A prince is basically an extremely lovely version of a god. Being in a fishing village, having the potential of being able to traverse the entire pseudo-Mediterranean sea, that's something new and different.

Here is a question for you, Diog! In choice A you write that the city was founded four generations ago - but people have been living in the village since as far back as anyone can remember. How long ago did society start settling down? Are we four generations removed from being hunter/gatherers or are we just in a region that is now getting around to being settled?

OhYo posted:Any accounts of great-floods lately? Hot Dog Day #82 posted:Here is a question for you, Diog! The city, A, was settled on purpose by one charismatic and powerful tribal chief who thought the side of the river would be a good place to live and so settled his people there. For reasons of geography and history, Baitel grew larger than other settlements. If it is the first city is unclear. It is the largest and growing fast. Nomads have been settling down to farm, slowly, for a long time but the pace has been speeding up for the last few centuries. The largest city in the region only has four thousand people. The picture for Baitel is a larger city than it truly is, the walls are not half as high as shown but it was the best picture to fit it. A, B and C are the same ethnic group and closer geographically to each other than D, who are a different ethnic group and much further south. You as a character are of course not familiar with the intricate details of the agricultural revolution and the Neolithic, but to give you a rough idea. Our update will go up in about three hours

Changing my vote from C to A not that it's really going to matter. Traversing the Mediterranean would be neat, but Diog has said that the technology level isn't there yet!
