So has everyone submitted an entry yet? I cannot express how cool this whole game is going to be! I can't wait to meet the other races! Whoo hoo!

Almost everybody has. But as I said, it's not required that you post. Simply playing an interesting race helps the others have somethign to write about.

I am quite pleased at the level of quality among all the stories so far. Not bad for the bunch of amateurs that we are.

Got in two off the cuff Posts today. Have another I wrote Last night at home, which I'll post later.

I am very excited about this as well; although I think I've bitten off more than I can chew with treating my one race as five tribes...each requiring several characters a piece.

Excellent work everyone.

A History2 discussion thread is a good idea. People can post comments and questions without cluttering up the story thread, which is going to be huge enough already.

Well, if it's gets to be too much you can always have a little civil war and consolidate a couple tribes.

Never fear...
There will be plenty of war, both civil and, well, not civil between the tribes.

What I am really looking forward to is the use of the two types of treaties that are rarely used in PBW or against the AI. I'm hoping to see some subjugations and some protectorates instead of surrender and total annihilation.

I think it would be most cool and a tribute to our creative abilities, if at the end of this game almost all of the original empires are still in the game, just as subjugated races or protectorates to a few large empires.

That's a story we haven't seen.

dos centavos.

I personally can't wait for the story to continue to unfold. The quality of storys thus far is simply amazing. Keep it up guys. I speak for many when I say these are certainly enjoyable storys to read.

Are you sure, because most of the stories rated 4-7th grade level by the Flesch-Kincaid Grade rating.

0.39 x Average No. of words in sentences + 11.8 x Average No. of syllables per word - 15.59

From some website:

I think in that case Hemmingway would rate around a second grade level.

Now, here is a little game :

the player who shall discover the 2 meanings of "Memento moris" shall win the Tyrean's frienship.

No offense to the human-style players (me included!) but I am eager to encounter some really alien species.... Got a few ideas for these.....

Oh, and by the way, please DO NOT put too much attention on my race's description when we'll meet, as I quite changed its style while writing.
The tyrean are what the story describe, not what can be found in the racial sociology.
