((I got a 10! I got a 10! My master plan actually worked, for the first time ever!))

PM action. Mwahahaha.

precipitated

((Everybody does this.))

Can someone summarize the game for me? Reading that many pages would be a bit much, but it looks like it was fun. =P

((It's a bit much to summarize, given that there were 250+ turns and numerous tangentially-related events. I'm sure a lot of the people here (myself included) would be happy to talk about what their own characters did, but the whole thing is likely too long and convoluted to do it justice in a concise paragraph.))

((On that note, I'm planning to share Viznor's numerous PM adventures after the game ends, possibly with commentary. I still have most or all of the original turns in my PM box, plus some assorted notes and plans made throughout the game.))

[XXXXYYYY]

"Agreed. Been nice working with y'all."
If there are any threats, have the stiletto stab them. To death. Give Skelliborn my ring in an attempt to help stop the ... boiling. Once he's better, take it back.
If this is the real end, set off in search of new horizons.

((It's super long, but I'll give it a shot. In a minute - it'll take me a while. EDIT: actually, this seems to be a project for another day. Something came up and I can't work on it right now.))

((Ooo, please do.))

((Well at least I survived.))

Final? Action: Aid Gambler in his search for new horizons.

Heck, even I don't remember half the stuff I did. I've got 50+ pages of received pms, and a few about Roll to Magic are on the very first page. I'd wager that over two-thirds of them (my pms) are/were RtM-related.

I suppose that's to be expected when you've been a part of a game for three friggin' years. It's been a heck of a ride, though, and I hope that DG goes on to do even better things.

And for the record, yeah, I can probably add my pms to the archive-thingy. Don't expect me to sort them or order them, though.

I tried to do a detailed summary once, but was quickly defeated by both sheer number of events and lack of personal free time. Also, using color codes for mage names to hint consistency was weird choice, as it looked... rainbowish.

Found it:

GRAND COMPENDIUM (up to turn 46)

I'm trying to make a full list of notable characters and their relations (basically who killed who, not some alliances). Later, I'll try to add Power Comparison (my own analysis of mages, but may include other opinions) and Latest Sightings (Because map is quite difficult to understand sometimes).

[johiah]

3 years?!?!!
Uhh, nevermind.
Maybe someone will just write a book about it...

[FallacyofUrist]

Maybe someone will just write a book about it...

((There is that idea, though it may be a bit difficult, considering how fragmented things are and how many secrets there are...))

((And once this is said and done, I wouldn't mind contributing my PMs to the archive. Excepting anything that may come to play in a hypothetical epilogue.))

[johiah]

I'mma just read the whole thing. 0.5% done so far.
Edit: just made it to turn 100

Y'know, I was just about to come here to say something to that effect (that we should turn this game into a book).

Maybe we can just directly transpose it, having "on a forum" as the book's (semi-)unique style or something.

[DreamerGhost]

I really don't think the game had enough coherent plot for a book. Also, it would come off as trying to surpass George R.R. Martin in kill count.

On more relevant news, I found Dead Space/Worm quest by UnwelcomeStorm and spent three hours reading it. Update will come tomorrow.

[johiah]

Isn't the game still ongoing, but in multiple separate dimensions?

[FallacyofUrist]

((Maybe if you follow a single character, preferably James, as the most public Triad member...))

Isn't the game still ongoing, but in multiple separate dimensions?

((For the moment, but I'm fairly sure it's going to conclude soon.))

[Sarrak]

Isn't the game still ongoing, but in multiple separate dimensions?

Game is centered around Tournament. As mages start leaving dying world in separate dimesions, Tournament (and with it, the game), comes to anend.
