Welcome Souperion. I wish you hours of amusement!

I'm fine with it.
Thinking at it again, I'm not.
Let me sketch something again so to be extra special super sure I have understood.

As an additional note: Leona was not "summoned by her superior". Her special license is Earl "price" for the work done here. Earl is a civilian consultant, Leona is not.

[not]

I strongly support this decision.
I will try writing something tomorrow, it will be something short for the time being. I plan to hyperlink it to previous messages for easier navigation.

For clarification, here's what P43 is supposed to say "between the lines".

Earl has been recalled from Naju surface from his employer. Earl "traded" a pass for Leona as well in exchange for some work in finding an explanation in what happened to Amet. Clearly, Earl's employer can provide a lot of pressure even on highly ranked officials. Also notice the evac request was issued very fast, it's very likely this corp has more knowledge of what's going on than military. By locating Amet, they also proved quite some technological edge.

As previously said, Earl was scheduled to leave the planet quite soon. Its corp will also pick up all its equipment deployed on surface.

Leona will follow a couple of days later. Unless something prevents her to leave, they'll both be gone for a while. In the case events unfold as I hope, they will be back, but it's currently an unlikely possibility.

Note on terminology. Rey won't speak about area numbers, but there are some references in describing its locations. Such as hideout position. I previously located his hideout at a junction connecting Area 0 and 3 nearby 4. I really meant to write 0, 2 and 3.
Those numbers are not the numbers intended by other people, so mind the context of who's saying what. Rey area 0 is an old ruined city, made of large stones. It is supposed to contain landing point Alpha (term used by Earl in P25), the spot where Miria landed. Rey has no knowledge of what happened there and probably does not even know this place has a name. Area 2 is the swamp with the exploding multiplicating spiders, 3 is the forest. Note that differently from the game, area 3 and 4 are contiguous and will be referred as "forest".

The character also had to evolve differently than I originally predicted, I basically had to carve a niche out of the super-powerful beings roaming around in the other hemisphere. Keep in mind the back side is supposedly much more dangerous than the front side - it was dangerous even for Miria herself. I already introduced some elements that might hint at how Rey survived so long. If everything unfolds as I planned, its status will be clarified and hopefully will get a boost as well.  The character however will keep its inclination to stealth, mobility and safe environment navigation.

So P43 is going to be dropped? It would happen at the end of day 4 if I understand.

Hello nanonym. So TGL has been ported on the virtual console? Last time I checked it wasn't there. The virtual console is way too pricey for me anyway and now you make me think about it... I guess it was like 1 year ago.   

Random nes game kickass metal cover!

TGL was a disaster for me. The messages were just too complex. It took me years to learn enough english to understand it! Stuck at corridor 4 I think for years. I wouldn't go back there. Well, I would actually go back, taking my current English level!   

What are you doing? I also spend some time coding games every once in a while. I'm actually off to a job, but I'm afraid I'll have to invest some effort on this soon. This is a very rich community, there are a few dudes doing Flash mostly the moderator, Arseniy has a quite spiffy puzzle game called Orbox. Last Version is Orbox C I think and has a very nice difficulty curve.

Yes, I got this. Thank you very much. It's not much of a big problem anyway.

[Post 40]

Post 40 was supposed to be my last post in ep 1. As noted previously, I was a bit confused about the timeline. I see no problem with your post 41 and I appreciate you decided to make those zones on the "standard hazard" level. What's the problem here? I think it can stay, no problem.

I wouldn't move p 42 without hearing from Spudacus' first. I don't see much a chronological problem here as well, but sure it's not the best thing to have at an episode end.
Would it be good as a start? Well, sure it would fit better.

My post 43 was not even supposed to be there. I posted it to try starting the writing again and as an in-world way to communicate people in command know more or less what happened. I also had the need to lock up some near-future possibilities, sure we cannot have another disaster for a while.

For Ep 2, Rey and Amet are going to just try getting a stable radio contact. If everything goes best, they'll get picked up somehow at the end of Ep 2.

Not tired in that sense. Sure some good sleep will help but I hope I can go to a nearby town for a short marathon with my dog. Last four weeks it rained on weekends and it sucked!

Links are dead. Ouch.

I'm a bit tired dudes...

I've had 2 full weeks at work so I neglected this.
I've been given a lot of free mornings in the next few weeks. I'd sure appreciate something to do when I'm at home.

I'm very surprised Donloteion never came back. He did something very bold with his almost totally fantasy setting.
As for EinhanderZwei, I think he's going to come back. Who knows what's going on with him.

Personally, as I said, I'm not going to write anything more in Ep 1. I'm not quite satisfied with how the story arc developed but I guess I'll have to take it as is.

So, what should we do?
First of all, I'd propose some rules:

• New posts shall go to ep 2.
• All posts in ep2 must be chronologically (in Naju time) after the last post of ep1.

I'm tempted to pull everything to google docs in timeline order, apply some additional formatting and see what comes out. But I think some of you guys have a problem with google?

Hello OneEyedWillie. I'm still very amazed by how many fans still join this site. I hope we'll read from you every once and then. Have a nice day!

Like!

Yes, it is well explained in words. It's just I have a lot of trouble understanding how any "major" work can be completed in "hours". For much I tried, I have difficulty. But yes, it's what I read. It reads ok.

All those things fixed in lass than a day? Wow, you're really making them over the top. Perhaps Compile was not as large as I intended.

It sounds nice!
