One of my characters I have planned for the military branch. The other I said was losing, but if we need more winners I would like to have him in the Technology branch.

I don’t think that Scientific or Diplomacy are taken, but I’m not entirely sure.

@melodyjoy

Characters/countries sound good! Thanks for getting that together. Should I pick the star system for their planets or would you like to?

@joelle-stone

If you’d like to come up with the characters, go for it!

=====

Sounds good! 😄

@everyone

I counted them out, and if we include the several place-holder characters I made, we already have a little over forty… some of them are just names right now, so we still need some appearance and country (which I also have place-holders for) details.

Blurters are welcome to fill the gaps at this time! We only need basic info for the…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

I have one winner character.

P.S. I have already developed a few extra planets/countries/players. I will gather them and see exactly how many I have, and then we can figure out how many more we need.

@melodyjoy @mischievous-thwapling

I thought that we had only eight winners, but if everyone wants to we can bump it up to sixteen.

@joelle-stone @wingiby-iggiby

So, everyone, how many players should we have? Because if we’re developing the extras we need to know how many we need. With two to three per country, we would only need to know how m…[Read more]

@wingiby-iggiby

Thanks for the feedback, I think I have the map figured out now…

I do have the kid planned out. He may need a bit more development but I think I have all I need for now.

@joelle-stone

Great countries!! I love all of the worldbuilding!! And btw, thanks for the recap at the end, it makes organization much easier. 🙂

@everyone

So, just wondering, how much information do you all want to see on the planet-map? What are your expectations? I’d just like to get a better idea of what you want to see before I flesh the r…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

Yep, sounds good! And I’m pretty sure that Andor is the bad guy behind this.

@melodyjoy

Thanks for the feedback, and the new planet info! Btw, Motrya sounds really interesting, almost dystopian.

Here’s the short version of Mr. B’s backstory, I have like a 600 word one typed out but that might be a bit much to post on here. If I can figure out how to attach a google doc I’ll put it up.

Mr. B’s wife dies
Mr. B has money trouble
Mr. B’s sons are kidnapped
Mr. B’s daughter dies
Mr. B loses all money
Mr. B becomes top rat
Mr. B hires someo…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

I’m pretty sure that Mr. B dies… I was thinking it would be at the end of the story, so the end of the trilogy, because if he dies at the end of the first book, and Andor turns good at the same time, then who is our villain??

=====

Yeah, I guess ‘only 40,000 words’ doesn’t sound that great, but it’s better than 200,000,…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

Ok, one corrupt government official at a time. Got it. 😊

If we were to do two or three players, maybe a third player is difficult to register, so only the super developed/high countries get one. It’s kind of unfair to the lower countries, but much of the government is controlled by wealthy people anyway.

And I think that we’re alm…[Read more]

@wingiby-iggiby

Thanks for the planet/country info!

=====

I know, it’s so hard to change a great name after you’ve gotten use to it!!

Btw, what do you think Andor’s name should mean? I can probably find some good ones if we go by meaning, or we could keep it something similar to Andor.

=====

If Andor selects a player to win his/her strength…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

LOL, you’re good!

So, yeah, Mel said that it was a limit of three per country, but then everybody would want to send three people for better odds. (and we’d have to come up with a total of three characters for every country we have. Unless there’s some sort of special paper you need to fill out to have a third player that is diffi…[Read more]

@melodyjoy @mischievous-thwapling

Thanks for the info!

@melodyjoy

I think we should definitely do that. It works perfectly with your country, and we need that warrior camp for Vika to weasel her way into. There’s so much corruption and fraud surrounding theses games it seems, with Andor’s fake guise, Vika sneaking in, the losers being tak…[Read more]

@arindown

@mischievous-thwapling

So, everyone, I’m attempting to make a ‘map’ of all our planets and where they are. Could each of you give the name of your planets, countries, and the name of the players for each country? And also possibly the temperature and social position of the country, if you…[Read more]

@wingiby-iggiby

Something less dramatic could maybe be like some form of sniper assassination? That’s still kind of dramatic though…

I kind of think we should change it, but we’re all used to Andor by now! I feel like this name works for him, but I think it’d be best to look for something new. We could continue to use Andor as a place…[Read more]

@wingiby-iggiby

We could develop the indirect killing… or maybe someone had a debt, a really, really big debt to B, and the only way to get the money was to kill B’s brother. And some person who knew B’s brother wanted revenge so badly he would pay that exact sum, and so B’s brother was killed.  And B knew about it and did nothin…[Read more]

@melodyjoy

I don’t have three, and am completely fine with two. I just brought it up because @joelle-stone mentioned that one of her characters is from the same country as someone else’s two characters, making three per country. This was also from a while ago and may have changed.
