One day, we will reach the next turn, when a few more thousand/million years have passed and the planet is finally ready for sentient life to walk/fly/swim/whatever the land.
Then, this rp will have truly begun...
:)
The new turn just began *weeps*

@poog the pig
Waiting for Kho's judgement on the Dark God Serandor being a part of Vakarlon's back story.
Might take a while, coming on to a busy period
<Snipped quote by Kho>
There isn't really any way that I know of for us to collaboratively make a map. Most likely is I'd make maps of some places and leave other places for others to map.
I don't mind how you guys do it, but as you pointed out earlier, we're soon going to be flooded with new worlds etc. the responsibility for making and approving and canonising maps is on you, but you can delegate the making bit if you so wish.
@Kho Buuuuut we can agree that it has a LIMITED amount of matter in it the likely is not spread evenly across. We'll run into the eventual Big Stretch acenario: in which the universe becomes so big that every particles become isolated unto themselves in the void.
As far as I am aware, scientists can't agree on that so neither can we until we canonise it, and moreover, it is irrelevant for the issue at hand: if the Universe has an edge or an End, gods cannot reach it and cannot create anything on it or beyond it.
If anybody wants to make a map then just tell me so I don't spend a couple of hours doing so as well.
I'm still willing to make maps but understand that I'll be a bit slow in doing so. I could probably commit myself to having one up before Monday, though.
I was thinking more: we have a few budding talents, put your heads together xP
@Kho I was thinking that since Ilunabar is a storyteller she could give her avatars personalities.
In the end its just she playing with dolls though.
I don't see an issue with that, a story teller has to be able to understand and be difference characters, and has to be able to put them in different stories and make them play their part xP

Life:
Species
Name: Ants
Lifespan: 12-15 years, Queen ants can live up to 30 years
Description: Ants were the very first living creatures to come about. They were created in order to maintain the Oxygen cycle along with the trees Slough created, though they are not restricted to trees or land - some species can swim while most can survive 24 hours underwater. Other than that, they are vital in preserving various life cycles, and the existence of other creatures would be impossible without them as they clean up the environment and improve soil quality - capable of moving 50 tonnes of soil per year in one square mile.
To help them with cleaning, ants have incredibly powerful jaws called mandibles which allow them to lift up to fifty times their weight and break items apart to carry them to the colony, and they can cooperate to lift even heavier things - in some ants, these mandibles can close at a speed of 230km/h, exerting force 300 times its own weight and allowing it to both kill other creatures and fling itself to safety by burying its head into the ground and using its mandibles for leverage. This is the record for fastest movement in the animal kingdom.
Moreover, ants are able to walk up steep surfaces and even on ceilings with ease, and certain sub-species can do so while carrying 100 times their own weight. Some are carnivorous while others leaf-eaters, making them among them ultimate scavengers.
Worker, soldier and queen ants are all female, with male ants, drones, only living a few months for no other purpose than to fertilise a princess, after which they die - and some ants are in fact capable of asexual reproduction, meaning they do not need males at all.
By creating colonies, defecating and bringing food back to the colony, ants unintentionally aerate the soil and introduce extra nutrients into the earth, thus increasing its quality greatly. Other than humans, ants are the only creatures that farm other animals (aphids) - and not only that, they are capable of enslaving other ant species. Further, ants are a vital pollinator, without which many flowers would die out, and also do a very good job of managing their own population - different colonies are perpetually at war with one another.
Overall, these little creatures are incredibly important for the development of advanced life on Planet Galbar.

@Kho Does an avatar personality always match the personality of the creator?
Example: A loud person could make a shy avatar?
How much autonomy are avatars permitted to have?
Never really considered it. The general rule is that an Avatar is basically a physical manifestation of the god in question, whose every action is willed and done by the god. The god is just as aware of everything happening to the Avatar and is the one speaking, reacting etc. when the Avatar speaks, acts and reacts. The Avatar isn't a 'separate' being which is independent but acts on behalf of the god, it IS the god. But if you have an idea for a different take on it, I am obviously willing to look into it and allow it - for a goddess like Ilunbar having a more active and interested Avatar may be important if she wants to be directly active with whatever we create.
@Vec Edge of the universe. Away from the rest of you chaps. :p
Scientists think life on earth occurred when lightning struck the right amount of chemicals in a volcanic hotspot. Logos is doing something similar; more or less seeding the planet. Basic evolution over install life doe.
Just to make one thing clear: the Universe has no 'edge' or 'End', and if it does, no god can reach, detect, or see it, or create anything there.
I'm kinda waiting on an updated map before I make my next post.
@Cyclone @Dawnscroll @poog the pig [@Anyone with mapmaking skill]
Man, I wasn't even gone that long. I might be a bit behind because I have conferences today and tomorrow. (Yay, made it to finals) So if I miss some stuff, my bad, life is getting hectic for a bit.
Congrats on making it so far! Focus on your conferences and best of luck, tell us how they go!
Reads @Lugubrious's post.
Stares for a moment.
Slaps self.
Notes to have Kyre slap himself or something in next post.
Sheesh, no need to slap yourself.
You've got 20+ other players who are more than willing to do that for you :D <--- Troll-lol-lol
