PBEM Game: Yarnspinners 2 (Running)

[Alneyan]

I'm fine with the current pace of yarning, and would prefer to remove the province names from the screenshots (all names are removed to protect the guilty and all that).

Add another vote to getting rid of province names; we can always refer back to the first map if we really need to know.

And yeah, yarns should get pearls no matter when they're written. So you have no excuses, Quantum

Since the first world map posting had the province names, I don't care much if they are present or not in the later maps.

As for the schedule, I'd like to settle down into a predictable MWF as soon as possible.

And when I said 1 yarn/wk was too fast, I meant in terms of how long to get it done, not how fast they appear. I can (usually) get one out per week, but each one might need 2+ weeks of work. Same throughput, but longer pipeline.

Province names off for sure. It is cluttered enough and the names have already been posted once.

Our host Tauren will be handling my turns while I am out of the country for 12 days starting on Friday. I will post the Turn 9 yarn and maybe even have the Turn 12 yarn done before I leave, though that might be difficult to write in advance.

I would prefer to not engage in any wars while I am gone, though Vanheim and I are having a little diplomatic fun. This does help me a lot with my yarns (and his too, I noticed). My Turn 9 yarn, which is mostly done, will be primarily for djo and the nation of Vanheim.

I am also greatly wondering if the Marignon prophet Father Muszinger was really poisoned! And has he died? And what was that spell he used to kill the Assassin? Holy Avenger? Interesting indeed...


Cheers!

That incident was mostly poetic liscense. Father Muszinger has an annoying (to me) habit of casting holy avenger on himself in battle instead of the more useful smite, so I thought I'd work that into a bit of story telling.

The assassins of Marignon will get more story time shortly. They carry poison daggers so it seemed natural to incorporate one. Sadly, the good father's presence in the hall of fame removes all suspense about whether he is actually dead.

I'm too busy conquering rocks. Some of my neighbors even have double-digit income.


A note to Tauren: could you please post the world maps here in the forum and not email them? The 3M file was too big for my ISP's mailbox. And I've still only got dial-up at home. (I got the turn at home no problem, and I did get the map today at work.) Thanks.

So... how's that turn coming along?

[The Panther]

I am having difficulties with the yarnspinners site. My Turns 6 and 9 show up only in edit mode. Am I doing something wrong? I have not really looked at all the editing features, being somewhat computer illiterate. Some of you guys have pretty darn good stuff in there (like pictures) Me? All I can handle are words. I suppose I ought to study the site throughly some day when I can find the time. But work and play are always getting in the way!

Anyway, I am off to France! Our host Tauren will make the next several turns for me. I sent him detailed instructions on what I want to do, which does NOT include fighting any wars this early in the game.

Cheers,

Panther

It's just the refresh bug-- they show up okay for me, and probably will on your computer shortly. Enjoy your time in France.
