[@Lord Zee][@Vega7][@ZekariVoblis][@Stern Algorithm][@Duoya][@Kalas][@Lmpkio][@Dealdric][@Leotamer] I have posted the update! In addition I am performing both a roll-call and a notification to find out who's still participating and to let everyone know the changes made to the rules. I've gone ahead and mentioned everyone I believe is still actively participating so they will see this announcement. Do keep in mind that my memory isn't perfect so if I haven't mentioned you and you're still participating do let me know. If you were mentioned and you aren't participating my apologies if I may have forgotten or missed that OOC post. I'm announcing that I've added a new rule to the OOC rules section. As I've mentioned in the past I do not allow deities to be brought in as NPC's since they are too important to the narrative to be relegated to the status of side characters. There are events which effect the divine on a global scale (such as the upcoming event) and will apply to all deities, no exceptions. This wasn't, however, a printed rule on the front page before so I decided to finally update it to include that. Now, I'll be lenient towards those who might be dabbling in such matters before this announcement since it wasn't strictly a rule until now but from here on out there will be no deities without players sitting about the world. My apologies to those this negatively effects but I feel this needs to be implemented for the good of the story. As a side note this only applies to deities. Other creations are free to remain unattended for any amount of time. If they occupy a fair chunk of the land and the player behind them has left they may run the risk of being acted upon by other players. I shall respect my player's wishes whenever possible, regardless of whether they wish to remain or leave. _ It certainly has been a rather hectic holiday. Having a cold I've still been running at low wattage for much too long for my tastes and things really haven't slowed down in that time. People have joined, people have left and things have been a bit of a jumble over these holidays. Nevertheless I am happy to say that with those still on board for this journey I still have much in store and we're moving full steam ahead. My aim is to cover several important periods of history where the world is ripe for shaping, each stage punctuated with events which reveal why Tabrasa, the divine and humanity are the way that they are. This is but the first stage in this world's history and depending on how you all feel the time spent between the next stages will be either much farther apart or closer together. Overall I estimate that the meat of the story will take place around the point where humanity will have developed the majority of the building blocks necessary for the trappings of a high-fantasy medieval adventure. This means castles, cities and weapons more complex than stones tied to the ends of sticks. What else they have is up to you all as you are their gods. Their future is yours to shape. Edit: [@ZAVAZggg][@Stabby] - Here's a mention for you both as well since I'm due to introduce your deities once the passage into the next stage arrives.
