((Running away?))Why do you people swear so much?((It seems a situation where grown men would break down into swearing. How would you react in a situation where you literally had to arrest Satan?))
Dog Summoner: Can summon three vicious hunting dogs to attack quarry.Is that three at once or three, period?
Er... I think you skipped my action.You had an action?
((Same here, Puncher of Faces. I think we can be forgiven, seeing as there was about... 4-5 hours in between the turns.I try to do a turn every night. When I fail, I try to also do a turn ASAP.))
the kingdom of WarrenOh? It seems like an awesome place to be.
Also USEC, could you post a copy of the turn map in the Faction turn posts? It's annoying to have to flip back and forth between the main thread and faction thread to see the turn.Agreed.
phenominal cosmic powers((Meh, they're pretty unremarkable cosmic powers.))
This is a society with serfs that, for example, worked on many of our projects for no pay in the beginning before we even had revenue. Let's be realistic: there's a kind of slavery at work in this society, and I see no reason not to put these people in that system.Hm. This does bring up the question of what stabby meant by "slavery".
That's getting ahead of ourselves. First things first, this is not an "Aw mom, these barbaric foreigners are so adorable, can we keep them?" "Only if you feed and water them yourselves, dear" situation. We are not playing tamagotchi with barbarians that in other places are committing genocide on our people. First, we use them for intel, then we try to use them for hostages, then maybe we put them in our mines or fields. Call that what you will.I'm imagining the latter, with decent working conditions and the hope that they become acclimated enough to our culture that they or their children can become full citizens.
couple more young child traits for Angel: Persistent as all hell and lacking understanding of the complexity of adult friendships and relationshipsShe's a prodigy, but she's not 30.
Wait, is this a perma-death game? There doesn't seem to be anything preventing someone from resubmitting their character, aside from the supernaturally unchanging edifice we call the "waitlist". Reviving characters into the waitlist may help prevent the game from becoming too dark.BOO!
"Okay. I was just trying to be polite.""Alright, thank you."
