Well, it seems to not show the messages sent in the diploscreen, but I do see Nighthawks first message now. Maybe everyone could type something in the chat to see whether that works for everyone.
As long as after you type the message you hit "Enter" it loads and is available, it is unknown whether you will see a message reporting you have a message. So we should use this for Entertainment rather than official Diplomatic subjects.
And does someone know how long you can use parts of animals before they rot or get unusable? I mean things like bones and leather for tents and the like.
I'm not an expect here but leathers should last most of a characters life unless he is very rough. Bones could last forever unless they are being used in a dynamic way to hold something up, which I would think a short time.
Nighthawk maybe you should check your posts in the story thread too, there is one that has exactly the same content as one of Eclipse´s posts.
I am hoping more will join in a write something, this just adds depth and strength to the game, from time to time we'll get busy, others will burn out on Civing temporarily or computers will crash. If you merely play your turns and send them off that is great!, but if you have added your own personality to the game, players tend to be more motivated to wards that particular game.
@Everyone
You do not have to write a book, or even short stories here, Just a silly overlook like "Wow we've come a long way since we started" will sometimes spur your own interest. I added this note here to Propose if a reader spots something like spelling, Grammar etc. It would be
graat that person was told. An example, a Portuguese player from another game wrote something in his native language and translated it to English, the Portuguese version blew me away, the English version didn't come close. So don't translate please, we can do that, and if passages don't make sense we'll ask, sometimes that bit there adds another even more Character
