EMPIRE! A Community World-Building Tale of People & Discovery

[TheWombatOfDoom]

If I could make it up entirely of snipped quotes without rewording anything, I'm sure I could create compile such an FAQ for you.

I'm way ahead of you on that front! Got a few in a document, just working on it. If you'd like to add to it, you should PM me yours.

[Morph Bark]

Ugh oh, I need to ask: Gold, Silver and Diamonds! Do they also require technological advancement or is the know-how available from the start?

General use, for making coins or jewelry or such? And making things out of them at all? Nope. Only for things that would be technological advancements by themselves that they use them as materials, such as diamond-tipped drills or alchemically silvered weapons.

And while it may be a hassle to get to the point where you can really use mithril, nearly everything that is hard to get is totally worth it.

(Unless it's people who play hard to get, but I dunno how much of an issue that is among dwarves. )

[Rain Dragon]

Ah excellent Mr Wombat!

When it is finished I'll compare it to mine in case you have missed any, but I think it is unlikely.

I have simply searched for Morph Bark's posts and pasted them into a .txt file thus far. Nothing special really. There were a few questions about Bloodfire (holy nepalm!) and shintouite and such which were not answered by Morph Bank so I've missed those.

Good luck Mr Wombat!

Wombat's my first name. If you're going to call me Mr. I'm Mr. Doom.

Feel free to also collect any questions I haven't answered that still need answering. There were a handful I didn't answer because others answered them for me and didn't relate specifically to mechanics or other things in play, but I may in course of that have missed others. I can get to them later.

Sorry Mr Doom. I should be more familiar with naming conventions than I am.

I'll probably not do much more sifting today though, because I haven't made my post as fluffy as I wished it to be. I still want to write details about religion and miscellaneous things like the fact most of them live in caves. It is significantly fluffier than the original though.

[Arkhosia]

Eyrecradia may end up having a tenuous relationship with the dwarves, due to the original homes of the Gem Elves bring caverns abundant in rare metals and gems, and it's a crime on par with treason to mine there, with a few exceptions.

[Arutha]

great. exams finish, and i find 7 new people, and half of em are elfs or dorfs. the ratmen seem cool, and the napalm hybrids are necessary, but [crochityoldman] in mah day we were all humans, in rain or snow or crazy magic desert places. and it was up hill both ways[/crochityoldman]. so this looks fun . Tychris, an alliance that would have mutual benefits, including trade and protection, sounds good.




also, i added religion to my megapost. so you can add that to the front page.

[Logic]

Wombat's my first name. If you're going to call me Mr. I'm Mr. Doom.

Pssh. We could be going by Japanese, Korean or Bajoran naming standards, where the inherited name is first, and the given name is second.

Or you could be like Ke$ha, Madonna, Prince or even Logic. They are so cool, the go by just one name.

[Morph Bark]

Prince

You mean ?

[Lady Serpentine]

Napalm hybrids? I assume you mean me, but that's certainly a... Unique... description.

[Arutha]

Sorry c'nor, it was faster than typing feyvampirewerewolfswithmagicnapalmpolasa, but on further review, they seem cool cause they are also fellow worshipers of The Lord of Fire. Holy napalm.

[Rain Dragon]

I feel my post is fluffy and I shall avoid future editing. Of course, if there is a problem I will resolve it as soon as possible.

I also realize it is quite odd that the people of Tekorva import rice of all things...

It would be terrible of me to assume everyone's going to use the same naming standards as I do.

The emperors also are so cool they go by just one name as well.

Handy table updated to have links to players, mega posts and populations. Next up - resources!

@Arutha - can we get a link to your mega post?

[Arutha]

Thanks, you're updated.

[Lord_Burch]

A question on trade- let's say I trade resource A to Player X in exchange for resource B. Can I then trade resource B to Player Y for resource C? Also, does that explanation make sense?

[Logic]

You mean ?

I guess that means our heirs shall be and ess.

[Lady Serpentine]

@Arutha: Holy napalm, batman!

[Arutha]

didn't he change his name back to be not... that. I am also interested as to if this blood fire combusts on contact with coal or oil, or sodium or bananas or people, or just fire and friction. And if its toxic. And I'm willing to trade for it.

[Lady Serpentine]

You are the fifth person to try to buy this stuff off me, y'know.

And no, it's not toxic. Which leads to some interesting tactics, to say the least.

As for other means of setting it off... Well, don't pour bottled lightning on it.

[Arutha]

ah, but you are of the same religion as me, so I wont use it to hurt you. Second, i have plans. High curiosity plans. :evilchuckle: Fire is fun.

[Lady Serpentine]

I've got some plans too, but hopefully they won't need high Curiosity.

[Arutha]

I have the fanatic culture, and I have no plans for living bombs, if thats what your planing. its a plan that could work, but i have other plans. If you want i'll pm you about them. after all, if they work, we would have to work together on it.

Mm... Already got enough technological stuff on the back burner right now.

And I'm not actually quite sure what that would produce; I'll have to ask about the effects of assimilating Bloodfire into one's body, since that's what the werekin would essentially be doing.

[Arutha]

in that case, give me bloodfire and i'll do your research for you. then i give you the data and you give me more bloodfire. sounds good to me.

[Arkhosia]

Hey C'nor, would Eyrecradia be able to access bloodfire due to being under the Heartwastes?

[Rain Dragon]

You are the fifth person to try to buy this stuff off me, y'know.

There is a reason I have not PM'd you about it. What do the people of Tekorva have for trade anyway? Hey, for that very fascinating Bloodfire do you want... A fish?

Not likely.

I am intrigued. I am very, very intrigued.

My first thought (of several possible failures of the assimilation of Bloodfire into the body) was of exploding werekin.

I can tell this bloodfire stuff is going to cause some very... interesting disputes. And now I'm imagining werekin fireworks.

[Arutha]

@ Rain Dragon: fisherworks, aka exploding fish. and i need food, so if i get my hands on blood fire, we could work out some deal
@Arkhosia: if you get blood fire, i could use some for my research, and give you blueprints for it. or some guys fish. and coal is much more stable, so that could work to. Edit: we could even over look the fact that your people are a disgusting heathen theocracy. i hope.
