Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
Good point that also gives him the explicit ability to steer the question in a direction that he is comfortable divulging the most information

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
So, we can ask that, but I wonder if people all agree to pose it to the shapes route. I'll bold the question and see what people think. If you have a different subject, speak up! This will be using our last two questions!
What question would get us the most information we do not know about shapes and what each accomplishes?
It can also be assumed that the answer to this question is the 4th question, in this circumstance.Scientific Name: Wombous apocolypticus | Diet: Apocolypse Pie | Cuddly: Yes

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
DING! DING! DING! DING!
Third question issued:
What question would get us the most information we do not know about shapes and what each accomplishes?
DING! DING! DING! DING!
Fourth question issued:
The answer to this question is the 4th question: How do the three tiers of Shapes impact Fourthland characters and worlds?
Regions of the world may also have Shapes, with interesting results for those within said region. Other creatures are determined by the shapes they have.

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
I am now even more excited about this game when it is finally done. I love how the four questions just gave me even more questions that I know I must sadly wait for the full release to have answered.

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
On that note I vote that when we do end up playing we set up one of the 4 optional extra energies as sanity.

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
Sanity. Wouldn't that be a combination of First and Third?
I was thinking about the energy of Digestion. The ability to take an energy and change it to something else, or break it down to nothing. Basically, to apply "anti energy". this very well might tie into energy control, but in case it isn't. Heck, it could be like math!
Anti + Anti = Non Anti
Non + Non = Non Anti
Anti + Non = Anti
A cycle could be attained in this way if things progressed into anti over time. Then when there was enough anti from this, it would interact with itself and come back as a normal energy.
It also seems like anti could be the "opposite of" idea that some of these have:
Non-structure (does not have a vessle, structure, shape)
Stillness (Immobile)
Catatonia (Lacking thought)
Non living (Not animate, cannot possess Third or Fifth)
Oblivious (Does not react to stimuli)
Exfluence (How things influnce it, where influnce is how it influnces thnigs)
No control (cannot control energy)
Predictability (4 x 4 = 16)
Darkness (Absense of light)
Absense of heat (do I need to explain this?)
Negative charge (Gravity = Magnetic Energy)
Timeless (Lacks the forward progression of time)
The more I think about energies, the more things I notice relate in certain ways.
I could be very off in all this, but it is fun to think about. AH! What if we had taken a page, posted all of our theories on fourthland, and then asked the question - What things in these theories are true? or something. Ah well, too much too late.Scientific Name: Wombous apocolypticus | Diet: Apocolypse Pie | Cuddly: Yes

No, it merely has a low amount of 2nd and 4th at the moment.

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
I know I've been busy...
My current project is a game where you play as a semi-immortal person who wanders a multiverse of Time-Loops (which you can affect), looking for meaning, or Earth (the only place that isn't a Loop or a Moment), all the while fighting off (or being!) people who want to carve out their own little empire of worlds built in their image, beings from the No-Place between loops that corrupt the relative normalcy of a given loop (which could be anything from a lazy afternoon in Summer to a thousand-years long history of an empire) into crazy stuff (think Excrucians from Nobilis for the nearest comparison.)
On top of that, if you take a fancy to an NPC, you can totally uplift them to the same level of immortality that you have! Which is the best kind of immortality (essentially, things from a Loop of a Moment can't permanently injure you; they just give you a penalty to stuff until you get around to regenerating your head.)
I would kinda like playtesters at some point...
But yeah, enough about me. I have to thank Welknair for inspiring me to get off my ass, though.

Ooh, that sounds very interesting. Immortality (the study of, mostly) is a hobby of mine. Colour me interested.

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
I really should qualify that as "Quasi-Immortality, due to being atemporal"
Due to how the game is structured, a thousand years in one loop is equivalent to 5 minutes in another, so...
I won't reveal much more; much like Welknair is hush-hush due to wanting to publish, I'm gonna try to do the same thing.

Unless you're Canadian, in which case that comes a few days late. But sure, enjoy your successful rebellion.

*Whew*
I have officially resigned from my position as administrator on that server. I can actually have time to write, now. Holy crap. One heck of a ride.

Why did you resign? I hope it was just because you wanted to write, and not for... other reasons.

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
That was it. It was taking too much time, and was generally too much work. There was a suprising lack of drama involved. Just me deciding that I'd been doing too much work for too long. Now I'm in bruce-wayne-mode on that server. I have an alternate identity I'm using now, which is just a player.

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
...and then the world ends.
I'm glad that some of the players were willing to speak up for me and say that I wasn't the type of person to do something like break the world out of spite. I had nothing to do with the world-breakage. I don't even know how someone would do that.
For those confused: The MC server is literally falling apart without me. Chunks of the world are shifting and trading places with each others. Everything's a mess. And now our plugins are starting to go dysfunctional. I picked a great day to resign.Last edited by Welknair; 2012-07-05 at 10:42 AM.

Re: [Welknair Update/Game Idea] Fourth Land
Its hilarious and sad. I hope the thing is fixed (for want of my sanity [all that work!? jzdfhdufawdfed]) but if not at least I'll be gone for a time before it sinks in! And who knows, maybe it will be fixed when I get back? Lol.
Speaking of which, I should write my absence in my signature.... goes to do so. *huzzah for vacations*
