[glow=black,2,300][color=rgb(0,0,0)]Aloha![/color][/glow]

Welcome to Zenland. Originally, it looked like this:

...and here it is today:

People are welcome to join at any time.

WHAT ZL IS TO ME
Zen, firstly is deliberate, delightful, and insightful design in anything. It is a kind of playful ambient math that brings up feelings of prosperity and abundance. And it can seep into all things. See any images on zen gardens walkways and structures to know what I'm talking about. Much in the way of thinking of feng shui where flow happens.

So Zenland is a place where this insight is built right into the soil. Naturally peaceful and meditative but also playful. My visualization or a metaphor for this game would be a sand garden, like someone might have on a desk with rocks and a rake. ZL is lifeless and peaceful when undisturbed. Yet the elements give a new feeling when played with and interaction creates ripples echoing what was done.

Conflict and challenge will present itself as you try to delve deeper and explore your new world. It will react to your activities. The risks you take, the focuses you pursue. It is a deeply satisfying and fascinating forum game for me to be hosting for you. Please enjoy.

[BLACK}-|-{GREEN}-| |-{WHITE]
        |-{BLUE}--' |
        |-----«-----|
        '-{GREY}----'


There are three branches of magic in ZL: red, green, and blue. It would be a fair analogy to compare them to earth, nature, and water. As an immortal magi, or mage you can perform miracles of all types.

You begin as a Black Mage, magnitude 1(√1). While your power is low you're still immune to harmful spells. This gives you time to find your footing. As you successfully cast spells you will accumulate color. Your class will change automatically when you meet the requirements.

A specific mechanic you will be required to do, to track your stats is use the rgb color font code. For example,

[glow=black,2,300][color=rgb(0,0,0)]Aloha![/color][/glow]

Aloha!

If you cast the red spell lift, and it succeeds, you add 15 red to your font when posting your next turn.

[color=rgb(15,0,0)]

That's really all you need to know to get started. Flip through the Spell Book and find a spell you like. When you're ready....  choose anywhere to begin!

This sounds interesting. One thing though - the map seems to be blank, apart from the name. Is this intentional?

Spawn in the top left corner. Cast Landmark on it.

Landmark fails. There must be something of some significance there. (The letters are imaginary)
.
Spawn in the L and cast flattenon it.
.
Flatten fails. It is already as flat as it can be! And you cannot use epic green spells yet.

Original Next Post(Reply #7):
(From now on I will label miss used spells as invalid. For these, as for the ones above, no need to wait for 3 players to go again.)

Cast sow on the island.

Please allow 3 players to complete actions before announcing your next turn(font looks good! Coloring the spell is optional but I like the trend).

Cast sow inside the L
