Yay! The Intro to my character is done...which Civ does he meet? The Soruli? Or the Ashen Hounds? PM me if you want to set up the encounter.
P.S. His name is Vencara, but you will have to ask him that...
EDIT
Sorry its abit short I have to go somewhere soon...
EDIT 2
I will be switching the PoV from Vencara to my Civ once or twice during posts

He asked me specifically in PMs, but I would invite anyone to respond to this, since I'm not the most adept at RPing myself in all honesty:

BTW I'm new at this so...if you have any tips after my first post, please make them...

That moment when you were considering using the exact same image.

@Aweirdgamer

I'm going to post soon, hopefully. Just can't get into the mood, and I lost a lot of progress at some point due to my own clumsiness.

@WendigoRoss When it comes to contacting another, it will depend on who is near you. Do you mean to ask who is interested in doing so you can choose where specifically to start? I say it this way as I don't see a location on map mentioned in your entry sheet.

Just to note, for future reference, no civilization knows of other species having a civilization at the start and translations can be a slow process.

As for your first post specifically, it starts as an interesting introduction hinting at a focus on economic growth and exploration in the name of it as well as a story about a family. Although I think the formatting is a little rough (i.e. paragraph breaking up) and the post can be more detailed, it's not too bad for a first post in my opinion. I would say try to add more details, and not just on the exploration but also on things happening within the civilization. This can take practice, though. Once again, I think it's a good start.

Here are some tips that I can think of that don't necessarily apply to anyone in particular, and this can apply to anyone including me:
- Be detailed enough where it's clear, but not so much where it's overwhelming
- Read the rules, especially if you haven't already
- An attack in game doesn't approve hatred outside of it
- A civilization is complex, and the world more so. There's a lot that can happen, including things humans wouldn't do
- Be willing to modify a post
- The goal is not to win
- Research writing tips. One of my favorites is: Show, don't tell. To be specific with it, explain how the civilization works and how its people live, not just tell it outright with things like
- Read other posts as well, even if they don't apply to you. They can give ideas. But remember what you know and what your race could are not always matching
- Use [@] if applicable to let someone know they are being talked to
- Somewhere on an IC post, include some explanation of things like technological progress, and relations

@Valkyr
On the image, eerie, but interesting.

On contact, fair enough. I'll respond when you do. For now, nothing happening to the Platta relies on the Northern camp, so there isn't a rush here.

I believe he is below the Ashen Hounds and Soruli, judging from his statement that he's in the "southern rainforest".

I'll see about getting Mango to update the map for me.

If I may ask, could you give a more detailed description of where they would be located compared to the rest of the races? We have a map for that.

This is what Shoggothought and I do. Save the picture and download a program called "Paint" off of a credible site (paint.something? I don't know). Then, just open up paint and open up the map. Pick a color, fill it in and there you go!

Found the website. http://www.getpaint.net/index.html

I've updated my character page for the deaths of Bolach and Trixarch. Alongside that, I've added the moons for my reference and anyone who happens to be curious.

I find it interesting that a few of our species' cultures have such an emphasis on the moon, including mine.

I apologize for not making time to tell anyone about this!

I've enrolled into a 2 week intensive winter course for photography and it has sapped every second of my life >->

Regardless, I'd like to say that I am back D;
