Genius takes time. ;)
 
Heh.

Nord K[o-oumloutted]nig is not amused. It ought to be done tonight. I would say "will be done tonight", but I have more homework than is funny. I'm not kidding--four subjects of homework, each with more than an hour's worth. I'm going to be staying up late tonight; I have most of the update done, just need to write the bugger.
 
No way in hell I'm getting this done tonight. Many apologies. Should be done tomorrow. I hope.
 
Court Chronicles of Li Po

The Yellow Emperor, Sage King Li Po and the Empress Song Yi proclaim the Festival of the Spring Moon. The abundance of the Way is apparent to all who partake of it. Rejoice and celebrate the bounty of our land and the resourcefulness of our people. As the seasons turn and the rivers rise we call upon the wise men to read the signs:

Wei Chi - Before Completion

-----
-- -- above Li The Clinging, Flame
-----
-- --
----- below K'an The Abysmal, Water
-- --

The Judgement
Before Completion. Success.
But if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing,
Gets his tail in the water,
There is nothing that would further.

The Image
Fire over water:
The image of the condition before transition.
Thus the superior man is careful
In the differentiation of things,
So that each finds its place.

Six in the third place means:
Before completion, attack brings misfortune.
It furthers one to cross the great water.

Nine in the fourth place means:
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Remorse disappears.
Shock, thus to discipline the Devil's Country.
For three years, great realms are awarded.

Satisfied, Li Po takes his wife's hand and together they descend to the Garden of the Spring Moon. The servants lurking in the shadows hear them whisper and laugh as the moon rises over the distant hills. The wine is refilled five times before they retire. Spring begins tomorrow and the world is renewed.
 
Pangioism is the dominant polytheistic worship in the Kingdom of Croyodon. The religion is also one of the most complicated in the nation of Croyodon as there are thousands of gods. Each god has an equal power to keep balance in the universe. Each family claims to be protected by a certain god and royals of course are protected by more then one god. The most famous of the gods that Pangioism takes its name from is the God of the Sea. He takes on the form of a serpent like fish and has thousands of children each year. The children are actually believed to be the many fish found in rivers and streams around the city of Croyodon

These fish are called by the locals Pangios and they are believed to bring good luck or bad luck depending on their color arrangement. These fish are often used by people to curse their neighbors more so then bring them good luck. The fish that are totally black are believed to bring terrible luck and misfortune. If you find one in your fishing net you are to immediately dispose of it and beg for forgiveness in front of the Sea God's Temple. The banded fish are said to be extremely lucky if found in your net. Usually young men wait for a lucky batch of banded fish before asking to permission to marry their love.


Going from top to bottom is the power their luck

I am terrible at writing stories, but this will give you an idea about Pangioism.
 
Homework any better tonight? :p
 
Not really. Working on this instead, though. My academic future is being trashed because of you guys. ;)
 
I have come to the realization that updating this before my math test on Thursday is well nigh impossible. How would people feel if I were to update on this Friday, then possibly again mid next week, then again the weekend after? Three updates in a week's span, but with Spring break, I think it is doable.
 
Don't trash your academic future for us NK. But could I give you a piece of advice? If you have to let a NES update slowly, fine, but don't always start up a new NES once you have time again. Personally, I don't mind really slow updates, as my own time is also somewhat limited.

Although that is much better now that I'm injured. All of my athletic time has been converted into computer time. :p
 
Yes, much to my parents dismay.

Does anyone know where I could upload a movie? I could show you all.

It's just a 5-second clip, although I could show you the whole race if you have a fast internet connection.

Damn dialup.
