I'm tempted to color-code dialogue that isn't actually spoken aloud for the Preservers, or otherwise find a way to distinguish it from other dialogue. I specifically did NOT use quotation marks because there isn't actual speech happening: it's all a broadcast traveling through what would be the Preserver equivalent of telepathy. Y'know, telepathy for computers.

...Yeah.

Anyway, just italics makes it a little hard to read. I'm thinking of trying either

  • A soft green or purple color, or,
  • Something that looks like: ||This is what Preservers talking is formatted as,|| said the very helpful #Preserver. ||Blah blah blah.||


Does anyone have an opinion here?

EDIT: Also, I suppose you could call this post a "Good morning!" post. Good morning. Waking up at 5:30 stinks like serious dog dookie.

I let the game last that long because I take a dark delight in the destructive power of nukes.

There will be super weapons here, bahaha. Two civilizations were placed with only one system in between them, very interesting.

Civilization placement was randomized, by the way.

Well, my first class got cancelled, so I'm online. Thank God for libraries.

Well, there's bound to be some peaceful relations between them! Right? ...Right?

Also, would you folks tell me which of these paragraphs is easier for you to read and gives you a better sense of "robutz"?

@Shorticus Green text is easier to read, but honestly the style of the first one seems to fit more with the preservers in my opinion. Sorry for the conflicted feelings.

@Theodorable I demand my spider people's ledger now!!!

So, like this?

Is that better in general? Alternatively, I was thinking of trying it with the same purple I used in my IC post title. As in...

Do whatever color you want man, but I think a mixture of both the color and writing style fits nicely.

Yes. My starmaps are some of the best. :D

But not until at least two civilizations have met one another.

@Theodorable What kind of technology are we looking at here for the most part, our current abilities or a hypothetical 2900 earth's abilities?
