Just do what you think is rational, and realistic (to some extent). You are dropped off, what will you do next?

You can still play even with low skills. It just helps at certain times ;-) If anyone wants to start, go ahead and tell me.

Kimako: You light a fire, but suddenly hear some growling coming from the forest. (Another session will start tomorrow around 11:00 P.M or 12 GMT.)

Kimako: You grab a branch and begin working it into a bow. Strangely, you didn't think that it was possible with such little experience. +0.5 craftsmanship

Kimako: You are dropped off on a desolate patch of ground that is near a forest. You realize that you are probably miles away from the crash site, as various SAM sites employed by the UN make access quite hard. (crash site is saved for later on)

Errrr, how are cow gnomes big enough to eat almost fully grown dragons? I lol'd

Karl: You are dropped off by a local guide. He wishes you luck, and then says, "That will be 100c for the journey."

I'm on starting now and usually am on for a few hours. If anyone wants to start say so.

Here is my take on a variation of Archi's "dungeoneering". You are a scavenger that has entered the contaminated area in hopes of wealth, since these "artifacts" sell for large amounts in the black market. You only start out with a 9mm pistol, 50 9mm rounds, basic clothing, a medical kit, and a hunting knife. Eventually, you want to get to the center (the crash site) to see what is exactly going on. Keep in mind that you will have to get better suits and a gas mask to survive the harsh conditions. If anyone is interested just post the character name and backstory. Also, various factions have sprung up in the area. They can offer you aid, and can sell you items. Keep in mind that these factions have relations with each other, and your actions will determine how they act towards you, and how powerful they are. UPDATE: Certain weapons can use fully automatic fire. If you want to use this feature, state so in your post. The advantage is that there is a x1.3 damage boost, but it uses two rounds per enemy and is less accurate. Clip sizes have also been added to weapons. You can attack as many enemies as your clip size allows. For instance, the default 9mm handgun has a clip size of 5, allowing you to attack five different enemies per round. Clip sizes will be posted in weapon stats.

"Well I have gold, and Ikana also has some iron from the mines."

Igos asks the merchant if they could send over stone to Ikana in order to supply the stoneworkers enough to finish the stone walls and chapel improvements.

Igos asks the guard if he can at least call one of the merchant guild members to speak with him.

(when did they find out that?)

Igos sets off for the merchant guild in Caster.

Igos tells them that their duty is to guard the town itself. He tells them to report to the barracks, and begin training with the drillmaster.

Igos starts putting up signs stating, "Protect your town today! Join the Ikana guard force. Our barracks comes with quarters as well as a cook. (maximum of 11 guards)"

Igos checks up on Ikana. (what did I miss?)

Mine and Archi's are quite similar, I will pm him with some possible elements to the game.

I know Ross, but unfortunately that is what killed kingdoms, since we couldn't get the program. We could probably make some sort of combat system, such as archers having a bonus vs. swordsmen etc. I don't think I would want to mix it with Dungeoneering though, we could keep the same war moderation that archi is doing. The problem with modern times is that people can screw stuff up easily (WMDs).

I'm ready to just drop out. The hegemony is getting out of hand. I'm sick of modern stuff like this, becuase it simply needs too many rules to be fair. Honestly, it would be nice to start a middle-age theme, still using the world map as a base but each person starts with an equally balanced civ with a few starting technologies. Technologies would br formulated before the game starts, and would continue as it progresses (by some sort moderation). Economy would start at 0 (whatever currency) and would be simple but to the point so people can't start scream-battles over it. I believe that this DOES sound like the kingdoms game, does it not? Perhaps we could look back on the ideas/rules/tech that were started there and impliment them into a new sort of heg (without the chess-style battles, since those didn't work out). I think that this would work out allot better than the heg did. Just a suggestion.

Nah, I am planning on keeping it.

"What is the difference between the two?"
