"You say that like it's some kind of revelation, Chulane." The two Stargazers were standing atop one of the towers in the first established actual town for the faction, and looking out at the horizon via spyglasses. "We were told we'd be competing with others for territory and resources. Did you think this would be an easy conquer?"
"No, of course not. However, we should acknowledge their presence, especially of those closer to us. Take, for instance, one of the nearest ones, the Rangers of Jack. They've recently sent an offer to trade with us. I believe it would be in our best interests to play nice with them, as opposed to your preferred method of... well..."
"My preferred method of what?"
"...Blowing holes through anything that isn't ours."
Serise furrows her brow and sighs. "Very well, recognize their offer, and see about setting up a midway market."
"At once, ma'am." Chulane begins walking towards the stairs, turning back to look at his fellow Stargazer. "Oh, But Serise? I mean that about the whole 'blowing holes through our enemies' thing. Diplomacy may be a skill to work on."
"I'm aware, Chulane."
(We shall happily engage in trade with @spookoops!)
So the deadline is technically up, but three people still haven't posted (@Vardrus@SammySammyson@pjbear2005). To avoid creating a lower class among competitors, I shall grant 24 more hours. Use this time wisely.
Question What do alliances actually do? Also, can you say when you announce the winners ect. who traded with who? (Also we still have no map but that's not important.)
@KoranAngels 1. They can help build each other up and even attack other people (That is how Season 3 ended) 2. Everyone trades with other people in their alliances 3. We have a map, just not a new one right now
Okay. I am sorry, but we had to rank these! @Vardrus and @pjbear2005, this is heavy hit to both your standings, but you can still climb out of this.
@SammySammyson, on the other hand... I am sorry. Now that you have missed two consecutive challenges, it would mathematically be impossible for you to survive the next elimination. So we are sorry... But Gnash is going to have to be let go. Control your drones to the size of toothbrushes, pack them in your undead-themed briefcase and HEAD HOME!
P.S. I promise to finally give you a new map this time
Now that you have driven off (or tamed) the dragons, the worldsoul sees you as a threat. As such, you are victim to tsunamis! The sea itself, the volatile manifestation of the plane's might is lashing at you. How does your empire combat this?
The ones with the least points at end of this challenge shall BE WASHED OFF BY THE OCEAN!
Rangers of Jack here, who is the Children of Ruin, and the Stargazer Society? I don't wanna sift through all the past pages to figure out my neighbors.
@HeroKP I thought I was already out of the this because of "Of the people who didn't post, they ended up having the lowest score. I am sorry it had to come to this. Warp some gas station snacks in from across time, shove all your teleportation devices in the back of your larger-on-the-inside SUV, and HEAD HOME!" after I had failed to post for the second challenge...so I didn't work on the next one..
No, that was for Mtg_Sappy. It says so in the sentence above. Since it was a misunderstanding, we can take you back in, but you'll have to submit cards for this challenge and the previous within the week.
Comments
(This is my entry)
also kind of unrelated question @HeroKP do the continents of Turmoil have names?
Considering the only sentient things before you on the plane were dragons, and they don't have tradition of naming things, no, they don't.
You could name them!
I should really start grading these
I'm sorry we couldn't fit you in. Season 5, maybe?

Wouldn't wanna miss out on TRÆDE, would we?
Missing students across the land
Fall into your grasping hand.
We gain tales and you gain power,
Hardly a trade and so they cower.
Though this wasn’t really a deal,
Here we shall prepare you a meal.
Knowledge and secrets myriad,
All we ask is stories to add.
What do alliances actually do?
Also, can you say when you announce the winners ect. who traded with who?

Deadline for next monday, the usual time.

Nyoom, I think I'll be able to get cranking tonight. My study hall is about to end, but I have the night off, more or less
