Ex-Nihilo: Deity/God Roleplay (OOC/mechanics)

[The Empire of Tau]

Should we have a lore thread to keep all our expanding lore into one place, or maybe even a google doc?

[Yokotari]

Not at the moment. Most of what they have is a result of the mixing. Others can add a few weaknesses but try not to weaken them too much. Also Aug don't forget they are made with humans and do have some reverence for the lazy god, maybe just a bit less after he attacked their creator.

Also "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I am doing way too many miniposts. I need a proper IC post, even if it is a colab."

"Miniposts" are way better because it does clutter the entire thread with 16 paragraphs
of unneeded bullshittery.


looking at you, a-e-i-o-u

I've seen this done in other threads and it can work marvelously, at least for as long as it remains updated. I say we make a Lore thread.

I think you just made a smaller version of earth.

Your writing is utterly abysmal and I have lost any interest beyond the second paragraph. Shorten down to 6, and maybe spice up your writing with a bit of flair.

I come from a very different school of RP, one where long posts are expected. It is still very much an instinct for me to want do that because it fits better in novel writing. I probably will get my grove back soon, then the longer IC posts will flow.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

technically it's normal sizes because i took a normal robinson map of earth and deleted all the earth bits before putting my stuff on. you can still see some of the islands i forgot to delete. This however gives me a good idea, i can give you the map of earth i used for scale.

Bah, i'll do you one better. I made a TLDR for you Augustus. Its at the bottom of the paragraphs. 15 Paragraphs shortened to one line

Ik, but I really would have enjoyed reading your well built world building, if it didn't sound like a BBC documentary without any of the murder or funny accents.

[Formerland]

Here is the map of earth to use as scale, it's too high res to post here as a full image.

[Formerland]

It also seems the image service I have used has compressed the map a fair bit, if there is anything confusing about the islands I can explain it or get a cropped version.

[Ah-eh-ioh-uh]

Not everyone is okay with one liners for their posts and that's okay.

I just want a world that isn't an earth copycat.

There's a bunch of videos on literal world building, you should check them out.

I love BBC Documentaries precisely because of the funny accents and murder, me and my girlfriend like to make fun of the narrators. I get where your coming from completely! I'll still probably keep my normal post long and boring, but for my next posts i'll include two paragraphs and i'll try to "add some flare" in the TLDR.

I remember when i first started on NS i Loathed! any posts that were longer than three paragraphs. They felt tedious to read and i enjoyed the short and quick stuff. For my first year thats the kind of posting i did and responded best too, it was just lots of fun. I guess i fell into your camp eventually, after a bunch of arguments over the length of my posting. Now i can't write only a paragraph or it feels like i'm killing a newborn puppy, its ingrained in my head to write a ton. I guess i've built an instinct much like you have, we are in the same boat.

I think short writing and long writing are both okay, i can't berate someone for short posting when i used to be that way myself.

It shouldn't look much like earth, and i am well aware of how to design a map. this was made by laying out random tectonic plates, with certain locations being prescripted ( requested by players). Any similarities to earth, besides the fact it's a rocky planet with a good deal of ocean, is entirely happenstance.

I help a friend of mine, here on nationstates to boot, write novels, think she puts them one one of those fanfic.net offshoots, our place of some shit. Any who, I've learned from readers opinions, and my own, that the more condensed a story is, while still not sacrificing its plot, the better it's received. I do understand school of though that "Bigger is Better and cooler and silmarillion did it so it must be right!" Is a very large and preferable side of things for a great number of people.



The irony is this is one the rare times I make a full paragraph.

Do me a favor and add some stuff that would give us a unique flair, since we didn't get into the specifics of the planet, just that it was "earth-like" and survivable for humans. Add a giant living mushroom forest or some crazy shit like that.

Well it will have a fairy forest ( i believe someone requested that), and any number of things could have been created by players, but they elected to not. Anamara will also have her blightlands.
