[Thlayli]

Truly lovely update! My region is named either Firecave or Firespire, whichever you like more. I might give it an in-universe name when I invent language, but those are the things in my brain when I think of it.

Thlayli - Day 7

1AP - Inventiveness strikes me again - using a combination of stones and string-like materials, make a Stone Bolas with which to tangle the legs of prey that are faster than I.

1AP - Venture around and bolas a deer, then knock its' brains out with my Maul.

1AP - FEAST ON ITS FLESH, FINALLY. Butcher it for clothing production after I drag it back to my cave.

 

[merciary]

Great update, finally have a chance to tame the wolves. Also Milarqui I will put you down if you get too close.

Orders:
1 AP: Tend to one of the gardens
1 AP: Try to go hunt for some deer but don't stray too far in case anything happens to Herobrine, bring a piece of fish with me to try and befriend the wolves (bring my spear and shield)
1 AP: Build a pickaxe
1 AP: If I have a deer skin make some clothes for Herobrine, if I don't harvest some stone from the nearby rocks
1 AP: Sleep in the hut but stay on guard in case whatever made the noises last night comes around, if I've befriended the wolves have them sleep outside the hut.

Non AP actions:
Eat if I don't give the fish to the wolves or if I kill a deer, if I don't get anything leave the food for Herobrine.
Be ready to assist Herobrine if anything "happens"
Keep the fire going with some sticks

If befriending the wolves takes an AP don't do the clothes/mining.

To Herobrine:
I'm thinking of getting a stone wall up soon with all the nastiness off to the East, we might want to invest in some ranged weapons sometime soon as well.

 

[Optical]

Q: would you prefer custom character names in the game, rather than forum usernames?

That'd be nice. Do you want submissions?

Q: do you have a name for your part of the world?

Duskhaven

EDIT: Orders:

1: Restock the fire with wood and sleep some more
1: Check the traps
1: Cut some fair-sized branches off of trees and make a lean-to type structure for sheltering the fire (and the cave entrance).

ANOTHER EDIT: If we do custom names, call me Hafar.

 

[Immaculate]

Can a cairn be upgraded to a stone monument (once we get stone tools?)?

So spend 1 AP for cairn.
When ready, spend 1AP to make stone tools, then 1AP to upgrade cairn to stone monument?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Put me in the 'waiting to be born' list.

 

[TerrisH]

Tuxedohamm, Angst:
nothing left to forage in the area, suggest we move as a group to the southeast, back towards Angst's starting position. should be better foraging there.
I'll spend 1 AP helping Tuxedohamm with the move, and use the other 1AP to forage along the route during the trip to feed myself and her. (and I'll carry the hoe so we don't leave it behind.)
best plan I can think of. other is to stay and try to fish, but the bear makes me wary of staying.

 

[Omega124]

Q1: I would love custom names; Omega124 seems like an awkward name for a person. If we use custom names, I would like to be named "Yinglong"

Q2: Yes; "Dongtian"

Orders:

1 AP on grabbing my spear and hunting that rabbit. I'm hungry, they're harmless, it should work.
1 AP on dropping on my knees and praying to my stone monument. I can feel the pleasant force to the region today, which happened due to the monument. Ergo, that monument is holy, or is the representative of something that is holy.
1 AP on sleeping in my house

Free actions: Cook and eat the rabbit

 

[Seon]

I seem to have a knack for causing mayhem.

 

[Immaculate]

Just noticed the eagle catching the fish- NICELY done daft!

 

[Vylinius]

Amazing update Daft. Now I can finally attempt to survive this seemingly very deadly world.

So here's how I plan to spend my AP.

1AP: Make a wooden axe maybe slightly farther from that tiger like near that tree with the squirrels?
1AP: Forage around the nearby area and try to avoid predators. Maybe use the axe I crafted to hunt the squirrels in the tree.
1AP: Start construction on maybe some form of treehouse within the tree with the squirrels from the limbs of the tree itself? Sleep in the tree or partially made treehouse at the end of the day.

Thinking that's my wisest course of action. If there's any problem with my orders let me know.

Edit: Also to answer your two questions I don't mind either way the names go really. On the 2nd question.....I will name my region This Land and your Grave.

 

[J.K. Stockholme]

@Daft: keeping fire alight won't cost any AP right?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Drifting amidst the dusty plain, a lost spirit possesses a scavenger bird. It wills the bird to fly high, and to scan for signs of other people, but to no avail...

Fly to the river I can barely see, then follow it north.

 

[qoou]

Orders:

1 AP - Begin by praying for harmony with nature.

1 AP - Harvest the patch of grass I'm in and the berries to the south for anything edible.
Eat as I harvest, and take with me anything that's left over. Pick up as much grass as I can carry while I'm at it, but do prioritize food.
If I am lucky enough to stumble across more food than I can eat+carry, place it in a nice pile by the crack in the ground just east of the berry bush, then cover it up with grass.

Visit the patch of grass the sheep starts out by. If the sheep/ram is still there, try offering it some leftover berries. Restock on grass if I can carry anymore.

Drop off all my loot under the little tree/shrub right east of the lake. Cover any left-over food with grass again.

Make one last trip to the sheep-grass, get as much grass as I can, and carry it back up to the tree. Set up a resting place for the night by lining the ground with grass, then covering myself up with more grass. Try to do so close enough to the lake to enjoy its heat, close enough to the ledge to offer some protection from the northern winds, and close to the tree, in that order of priority.

1 AP - Sleep. Hopefully at least somewhat comfortably.

Q: would you prefer custom character names in the game, rather than forum usernames?

I would .

Q: do you have a name for your part of the world?

Friendlylake?


Edit:
Also, how hot are the lakes?

 

[tuxedohamm]

I'm good with the plan to move southeast.

Spend my 1 AP in a walking, trance-like state trying to commune for good fortune while moving southeast with the family.

Hopefully, Angst and TerrisH can keep me fed.

Q1: I thought of the area as Goose Lake Q2: No real preference, but if we go with alternate names, I'll be Tuah.

 

[Milarqui]

Yay! I'm an abomination!

What I have to do now is try to approach the humans and show them I am good, and willing to help them.

 

[J.K. Stockholme]

@Arrow Gamer: I'm just eating fruits this turn, but I was thinking it might be pretty neat if you inhabited the horse to the northwest, and we could have speedy travel to some other players. Or you could fly around and see what's up, up to you partner.

 

[Arrow Gamer]

@Daft: My order to let him eat me did nothing?

@JK: I'll fly up to get the lay of the land, then possess a horse

 

[Angst]

Tuxedohamm, Angst:

I saw Tux' post as well.

I don't know about SE. Kinda fearing the bear. But we can try, I guess.

 

[Justo]

OOC: Excellent! Been looking forward to getting into this for ages.

Justo Orders
1 AP to craft a Stone Spear (Rocks and Sticks are nearby to the West)

1 AP to be spent hunting with the Stone Spear. The target will be the goat to the West or a Rabbit to the North should the goat move. (I will utilize my ranger and explorer traits to cover ground silently but quickly hopefully opening up more targets should they get spooked). Obviously take everything possible should I be successful in the hunt.

1 AP to sleep and rest. Hopefully while moving on the hunt I can find a relatively comfy place to sleep (Cave if possible otherwise a tree will do). Obviously eat whatever I've managed to hunt or scavenge. (The explorer trait will hopefully give me more movement to find a better spot but resting is the priority)

Regarding the Names: I'm happy to keep them as the player names or otherwise. At least its easy to know who's who at the moment.

Regarding the Region I'm in: I'm not worried about making up a name yet. Better to gauge whether it's worth staying here or not first.

 

[Ekolite]

Hey Daft, I'm not sure how up to date your waiting list in the OP is as quite a lot of people ahead of me now seem to have spawned, but I will happily take over the next child to be born in-game so long as no one ahead of me in the list claims it.

Really looking forward to being a part of this.
