There seems to be some sort of delay in hosting this turn though. Is something up, Tauren?

Tauren is on a vacation down in Texas with his mother. His internet access is spotty at best down there. I have not heard from him in several days now so he may be having technical difficulties. Also, his cell phone seems to be turned off and I have no desire to try and track down my ex...

I am sure Tauren will surface soon.

New turn is finally out. Looks like I wont be able to do this regularly until I get home Wednesday, so just bear with me until then.

So are we supposed to do yarns for Turn 6?

Absolutely!

Well, I am assuming the yarns are done AFTER Turn 6. I am using results from Turn 6 in my narrative, so I can't finish with my prose until after it hosts.

PashaDawg · #6 June 7th, 2005, 11:22 PM

Good point, P-Kat. I shall wait until after the host, but I fear that the narrative is swiftly turning tragic for the good folk of T'ien Ch'i. Good thing this game is about writing and not winning...

Don't worry Pasha: my own troops still have trouble figuring out where is the business end of a sword.

And pointlessness galore: I have used the Gender Genie on all our yarns for turn 0 and turn 3, and it appears that we are all males, according to the bot. Sedna and myself are the least males, with a very marginal difference (virtually no difference at all), and Djo's male part doesn't have much of a lead over the female part.

Figuring out the cases where the bot is wrong is left as an exercice for the reader.

Before, after, details, details...

I intentionally decoupled (or loosely coupled) a lot of my story from the game to make the writing easier, and more interesting to me.

I second that thought, and a big thanks from Vanheim to TC for making us look not so puny. And keep in mind that your neighbor to the N is not a ravening land-grabber like the purple-legionnaire-snake-people.

The_Tauren13 · #9 June 8th, 2005, 08:22 PM

Yes. And I forgot to send gems for yarn writing thus far, so this turn I will do that.

I do wish there was a way to make the gui dissapear completely for the screenshots...
