Dramatica - A Very Dramatic Game. Game on.

[RadioGibbon]

There was screaming coming from the city again as there so often was these days. Socrastotle frowned as he turned away from the ancient tome he had been studying and drifted across the floor to the window, looking down at the great city of Arcoscephale spread out below his tower.

It really was too much, these screaming fits the populace seemed so eager to indulge in were becoming more and more common these days. No doubt Eriopis the Strategos would soon come running up the stairs to Socrastotle's tower with another rambling tale of some catastrophic defeat. The three centuries old mage sighed, wondering what he paid all these mortals quite so much for.

After all if they couldn't deal with 100 feet tall flying eight legged semi-illusionary horsemen then what was the point in having them around? Still, he couldn't help feeling that their was some sort of solution that was just evading his formidable powers of deduction, hovering at the edge of his thoughts - a solution to all his problems.

It struck him just as he heard the footsteps hurrying up the stairs of his tower, the idiot Eriopis already crying out some confusing tale of disaster. Sorcrastotle instead hurried across his study and gleefully snatched up an elephant tusk that hung above the fireplace. If he were to coat his tower in a layer of this resilient material, might not that muffle the constant sounds of screaming that so disturbed his research? As the wailing reached a new crescendo the old man nodded to himself with sudden firmness. At this point anything was worth a try.

I'm loving the pace of this game, by the way.

My ISP is having issues with the local exchange so internet access will be a challenge for the next 12-24 hours.

Might not reply to PMs in a timely manner. But shouldn't be a problem getting next turn in.

Vanheim seeks to trade a dwarven hammer for a thistle mace + 6N. We're willing to ship the hammer first so it can be used to craft the mace if desired. First come first served...

Ok, the holiday season is upon us and hence I've been thinking. I was thinking of temporarily moving to a very lenient hosting (like 72h) for the holiday week (20th-27th day). Quickhost will still be on, in case people want to keep the game moving.

Unless I hear any big objections, I'll set the new hosting to take place sunday.

I'm reading this thread and feeling very alarmed by the post about the Skaven mod wrecking all the other games the guy had running.

Other than that, good reading :]

At last the war is over.

A year ago, a small group of Amazon explorers were unexpectedly attacked and wiped out by savages emerging from the jungles. These same savages, chanting war cries such as 'Tocalotopot!' and 'Popacapinyoas!' proceeded to launch an all-out attack on our frontiers.

Armed with ancient stone gutting knives, slings and in some terrifying cases their own lycanthropic teeth and claws, they caused severe damage before falling to the superior skill and metallurgy of Themiskyra.

Judging by their weaponry and violent tendencies, it was clearly only a matter of centuries before their culture began to indulge in human sacrifice on a massive scale, eventually swamping the world in a tidal wave of demons. Rather than let that happen, the brave maidens of Themiskyra decided to protect the world from this appalling threat and wipe them out. After all, Marignon was nowhere to be seen...

Just for the record, 'Tocalotopot!' meant 'Hey you there!', and 'Popacapinyoas!' meant 'Your lizard is in my carrots!' The language barrier led to war, and now lizards are all over Mictlan carrots.
