So my router virtually exploded, hence my lack of being around in general, had to wait around for a new one.

I miss anything?

by **Germanic Templars** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 5:27 pm

Not that I know of TNEL

Other news, will post in a moment after I get done waging chemical warfare on the microorganisms that live on the surface of my kitchen and bathroom floors and countertops... And in the fabric of my clothes.

I should get working on my nation's religion, but i don't know how to explain it. Seriously, I havent thought up about it till this point.

At least in the case of Arkadacia (the main group in Tinell), I just sort of went with something that fit the people the most. In my case, it was a Norse/Celtic/Greek influenced polythiesm sort of thing. What are the people of your nation for?

They share DNA with modern europeans, specially Russians and Germans. However, the nation is located near Asia, usually were Japan would be at, So Japanese culture does have influence on it.(Canonly, Japan is located just south of it)

Everybody loves evil cults.

Well, if you don't want to base it off of Christianity, do some research into East Asian religions. Maybe look into some of the Siberian beliefs, Confucian stuff, Shinto...

I can't. It's been a full day. Between 9 hours of powerwashing a fuel tank and being with family with no downtime, I'm wrecked.

by **Fvaarniimar** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 9:11 pm

No sweat, Mon - I'm really drained and in all honesty kinda relieved. I love rping with you but have no energy today.

That makes two of us...

Goodnight everyone. Looking forward to recovering tomorrow.

Being near Japan, Shinto could do. It's a beautiful religion, too.

If not Shinto, then general spirit/ancestor worship? China even still has pockets of Ancestor worship today.

And like that my brain is fried from work and I have to wake up in 6^1/2 hours.... Goodnight, chaps!

You should only take on an existing religion if you have a very firm grasp about how it works and what it's like. Otherwise you end up with something very blocky, shallow, and stereotypical.

by **The BranRiech** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:55 pm

Mmm, Gio. That's why the Branriech is an atheist nation (Besides communism being against religion and all that) is that I don't know how religions work in RL in the slightest. It's also why the Pyersai's religion is slightly vague at the moment.

by **Swith Witherward** » Fri Jul 24, 2015 10:49 pm

Alrighty... Slo and Gio, can we get characters into the lobby so I can stuff them in the truck and move them to the observatory? That'll signal a micro skip to 4 PM, plenty of time remaining until the rally at 7 PM.

Will do.

by **The BranRiech** » Sat Jul 25, 2015 12:56 am

Is there something I'm missing? Observatory?

Also, Carly. I'm literally frozen if you don't post at some point. I will move my characters on if I have to.

TFW you've been forum RPing for so long that you've completely memorized the keyboard to the point where you can type without even looking at it anymore.

Eeeyup. Computering in general, actually.

by **The Carlisle** » Sat Jul 25, 2015 10:13 am

Sorry about that. I'll get a post out soon.

Back in the bronze age, we called that "touch typing". I learned on a typewriter, an elegant writing tool for a more civilized age.

Well, let's see: Yuna comes and warns Marcus, Gio, and Sandy that they should pack and prepare to evacuate. Do you think that they might have listened to her?
