I can show you what endless looks like
I can show you a single infinite thing
I can let you taste the sweet and sour of forever
Unending. Eternal. Inevitable
Taste my darkness
Climb into my abyss
Fall into me. Into my eyes
Look at them. Depths unfathomable
Pain immeasurable
A cruel promise fulfilled

When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?

Clarification: That was turn one. You get your point allocations at the end of round one. This is turn two, and you have whatever you have for points until the end of the round.

Rounds end when everyone admits they've spent everything. Naturally this is something you might want to delay, as once you claim done-ness I'm not letting you drop any more influence in the round. Attack if it seems appropriate, power block forever.

Depends on how many come back this next turn or two.

Sorry mate I am going to have to drop. I do not think I really understood things properly with regards to the game.

I am so sorry, if there is anything I should do to help out please let me know. Thanks.

What is misunderstood? You're going to get what may seem an insane load of points your next round, and generally more each round thereafter.

Its more as in I am not sure how to play Shu effectively and/or with character. I didn't give him enough character to start with and now I find I am having difficulty thinking of things to do.

Yeah, interfering with other players' dangerous actions would be a great way to build up Protection, and HUMBLING A SCARY GHOST is up there too.

Also Georg is really lucky that Ricki is low on points, there's no plausible way to drop knives into the garbage disposal without spending attack against both.

Ha. I would reveal what the GrAnscestor was really doing but why ruin the fun. Its better to have suspicions and misdirected things occur in games such as these. ;)

Then you develop the character. I mean two less-than-benevolent beings just had a showdown related to the child you've been protecting. And now they're both helpless and weak. Like so many dazed field mice.

If I were a protection spirit I'd clean house and make friends.

This is violence at Bargain-bin prices. For the cost of a slight breeze a player kill can be yours!

I resent the implication that Georg is bad just because he likes the concept of blood sacrifice. He's just a traditionalist who sees the potential for improvements to a good bake.

Fair enough, there is nothing demanding you require human deaths. Then again it wouldn't hurt your cause, either.

I'm going to update tomorrow unless anyone posts again.

Idea:


48-hour response timer - If a player intends to react to an action, they have (roughly) 48 hours to write a post in the gamethread or at least declare an intent to do so here in the OOC thread. Otherwise I'll assume nobody intends to respond and I'm free to update.

Still, it's wasted potential. Dying people eventually stop feeling pain, stop bleeding, and never need to cook again. They're the worst. A medieval flagellant cult headed by Nigella Lawson - that's the kind of thing Georg would want to promote.

I have to shelve this game. Every single time I think I have the free time to update something comes up. Every time.
