Let me properly introduce myself. I am Sir Spud the Fourth, and I have been a potato for the longest time ever. I never denied it to be completely honest, but it is only recently that I embraced it. Now I have evolved from a simple couch potato to a fully grown royal potato. A dapper kawaii potato. And I dare say, knowing that you are a spud, makes life a lot easier. Just chill and let everyone else care about all their meaningless things because at the end of the day you'll know: chilling is the way to go.
I try to spend minimal effort on things that I don't care about, and procrastination might as well be my middle name. But that doesn't mean I ONLY rest. Sometimes a 'tato gotta do what a 'tato gotta do. And if that something happens to be things I like, then you cannot find anyone better than me. I am an omnipotent being capable of virtually any task to a limited degree, and I am not shy to admit it. I may not be the MOST AWESOMEST in a thing, but I am sure as hell MORE AWESOMEST than most people are at everything. But hey, I'm not here to brag, even if I am probabaly better at it than you
THE DREAMER:
All those nights laying in my couch, I thought about the cool shit that I cannot do. That I cannot see. But I pictured them in front of myself like they were real, and that infuraited me. Then I found the Guild, and I lived happily after. I have been on the site for 2 years now, and I have seen many RPs, and played with many people. I wish I have found the site earlier, but I am glad that I've even found it. Now all those fantasies can be written down and my mind can rest at ease at night, without being constantly troubled by ideas.
When I RP, I love myself some good Sci-Fi or Fantasy. But hey I am filthy casual, I can go for anything with an interesting setting. I don't trouble myself on small details if the plot is good, but if you get somwthing wrong you can expect me to tell you about it. Some even go as far as to think that I am angry or something, but I am too chill for that. If anything I'm more of the funny type, so you can expect me to try and write some shitty jokes or post memes I found on the internet. Anyways, you'll see what I mean when we RP together.
THE ARTIST:
Used to be something else here, but I'm happy to say that it's replaced because of a positive change. I now work as a full-time 3D artist in the animation industry, churning out shot after shot for some of your favorite game intros and trailers. Can't say anything about them before you even ask, and even though I'm still new to the industry I love it and I already know that this will be my passion for a long time. So hopefully in a few years I'll have a proud portfolio of animations that were done by yours truly that I can show off to all the lovely people of the guild.
THE LOVER OF STUFF:
Now I may have hobbies like the above mentioned, but there are some more things that I love in life. Here is a handy list of things you can always talk about with me:
Gaming: This one I am quite proud of, I'm a serious gamer with capital G. Not as much time for it nowadays, but still true.
Music: All kinds of electronic music, but I am a sucker for Queen and Powerwolf. Or Breakbot... anything music.
Anime: We all have an Otaku in us, but it's bigger for some people. For me it's just big enough.
WORDS OF WISDOM:
Be chill folks, getting fed up about stuff is a recipe for disaster. You gotta learn to be patient and let things go, or you'll end up a wrinkly old man/woman with only bad memories about life. Even if you do fuck-all every day, you can live a content life by taking things easy. With that said, as always, stay safe and stay classy.
I like it, it's a well written post for sure and it does a good job of conveying what your people are like. But it feels like that the feeling of childish curiosity and that sudden, but faint realization of self and time are palyed off in favor of divine enlightenment. One particular part I thought was perhaps over the top was this:
"The Leader gathered many of the shells and bones. Her followers watched in awe as she showed them how to make bowls and plates from which to eat their food, and utensils to lift it."
Where did she learn that? Same with the fire scene, seemingly without any rhyme or reason, she just knows how to make fire. While yes, I do not mind people doing what people do, I just feel like both of these scenes were a lot more about a sudden rush of knowledge, rather than a rise of interest, a trial and error route at the end of which they did either. I can iamgine them using large leaves as a bowl/palte to keep clean, but not making bowls and utensils without any previous knowledge, just out of the blue.
Like I said, I feel like it doesn't capture what the other posts have, but I might be wrong. I want to know what the others think about it and whether or not I'm a hardass about this, because I do want all of us to have a great time, just not by sacrificing reason. But if everybody is oaky with it, then I have no cmplaints. Not that it gives you any advantage over the others, I just feel like a subtle change in context might do good for the post ^^
@Ascendant You can, as long as you fit within the time limit you can post as many as you want. Once everybody is done or wants to move on (or a lot of time has elapsed IRL) then we'll be moving forward with another turn post.
@Ascendant Technically we all did, it was just a matter of not having a map when most of you made your sheets
But most of the races turned out good and I did say you can change it if it didn't match your position. Still, it's kind of a redundant thing, changing either or is not that hard.
@Odin Of course you can! Magic or tech is not forced onto anyone if they want to go one way or the other. Heck, you can choose both if you want to! Not limited to any of them if you don't want to.
But magic is good at fighting magic, so you might want to invest a bit into that. Kinda like, I dunno, the Inquisitors against magic, who use magic to kill mages or something
@Odin Oh yeah, definitely! Like I said, I'm not gonna interfere too much unless I feel there is a need for it. It's just a good idea for you to see what things have been discovered when IRL. Which of course is just a guideline, since this is an RP
The idea is that you can just keep focusing on lore and story for your guys and manage them with what you have, and if you keep building huts, fishing, etc then I will assign you all the technologies that you can achieve. Of course if you take that into your own hands, the only times I will intervene if it seems highly unprobable (which I doubt you will all do), or when something big happens that isn't in your control, like discovering that some rocks can be melted into metal, etc
I feel that the Civ V tech tree is pretty good and streamlined, good for a basic look at tech tree.
I mean yeah! I'm just always looking for some form of a causation in the posts to "justify" the invention of the wheel, if you know what I mean. Like, for the frogs it made sense that they know mud would stick and can draw with it, but for others making a dirt and mud shelter might take a while. Of course, even a 5 year old can come up with that on their own, but remember: though similar to what modern specimens of your race will be, these guys are still stupid, with a much lower IQ.
But I mean, I'm having a ton of fun reading all the posts. So far everybody has nailed it imo, which is great because now I don't feel like an idiot with a weird and clunky idea XD
@Odin Woah, slow down buddy. You might as well have sent the blueprints of a two stroke diesel engine for these primitives, it's about the same difficulty XD
Well, we know that the frgs are already good with materials. I would not be surprised if they mastered making proper houses first. And art. And speech. Hmmm... the frogs are OP, plz nerf
