Bay 12 Games Forum

I can't believe there aren't any bay12 atitd players... I need help people. D:

Okay so yesterday was stupid; sorry for the lack of update. I am in the process of moving back to California, and as some may know I have a three month old, so that may happen often. If that's the case, I think today's goal is to try to get the Kings to be able to run the game to some extent.

I'm still waiting on Tiriun's submission of slam poetry! :O

Anyhow, since the title post, there've been three ticks of time in our great nation.

King Nirur is mining Keystones with 12 peasants: 45 Keystones have been dredged out of the mine!
  ~2 from Duke Dragor

Duke Chaos Armor is harvesting sticks with 2 peasants: 12 sticks have been gathered!

Duke Ochita is harvesting Shimmerweed latex with 2 peasants: 6 Shimmerweed latex have been harvested! The 1 Shimmerweed fiber that has fallen during harvesting would make a great source of string! You've harvested 1 Shimmerweed string!

King Twi is mining Keystones with 8 peasants: Only just 1 Keystone has been found! Perhaps you need more workers...
and is harvesting sticks with 2 peasants: 12 sticks have been gathered!

Department Head McClay is gathering sticks with 1 peasant: 6 sticks have been gathered!

From now on, Kings, please report your actions in the following manner:

1 Keystone mine: 16 workers; 4 from Vassal Blahblah, 4 from Vassal's Vassal Blahblah, and 8 of my own
1 Stream: 0 workers
1 Shimmerweed Forest: 2 workers of my own
Vassal's Keystone mine: 3 workers of his own

And list all generating holdings despite having no workers. I'd love you foreverandever.

Also, if anyone can correctly guess the exact formulae for calculating resources generated, not only will they claim a reward, but the Kings can also do these updates on their own every 12 hours(game ticks at 3 PM and 3 AM PST).

((So I have complete control over all his funds? :O))

Yap, basically! Here's what happens behind the scenes: He has 5 keystones, wants things. Gives them to you and tells you what he wants. Now, you can either keep the keystones and give him the stuff out of your current assets, or use them to pray for the items from me. Which you then give back to him.

You are his lord, and whatever you say, goes for him.

Wait, so is that only for the kings or for everyone?

Sorry; for the Kings. I'll only ever deal with Kings, as a general rule.

I would participate this duel, as long as the poetry is metaphorical

Is there any great slampoetry battle that is not metaphorical?

The Grand University has been opened on my land!  You must work together to unlock the research it is capable of!

As celebration, I have granted each of my Lords with a mountain, two hills, a lake, two streams, a forest, and two Shimmerweed flower-forests to be summoned to their lands wherever they see fit.

New discoveries have been made! (Check the title post)

Also, please follow Nirur Torir's example, and display all your immediate belongings in your major post(s) of the day(s).

As proof of my Divine Power, I have conjured 18 Keystones for both of my Lords. Err Each of my Lords. You each get 18. Let it be known that the Divine Emperor sucks at English. >_>

DISCLAIMER: This is an experimental game and quite possibly will not advance very far.

I am the Divine Emperor. I've been blessed with a million square hectares of land by me. I will claim half of this area for myself, and the other half will be split by the first two who wish it.
