CCC Land Grab

[Kaftzael]

I'd like to take F[0]r square - The square just left of the letter G in the map - for a group of Birdmen that call themselves Qarten'ae. Unless I can't pick that square - or any at all - for whatever reason such as being new to the forums.

That's F1r, and you're welcome to it.

I'd like to claim F-2... I have an idea, but I'm not sure where, exactly, I want to put it, so I may relinquish control of this square or K1r once I decide. Species will be Nightpeople, either way.

[Clearsand]

I would like to claim L5 for a batti culture. If Lyhoko doesn't mind, I would like to make it a self-governing colony of the Nggwoo.

[Lyhoko Leaci]

It's fine with me.

[Kaftzael]

School's becoming a giant pain again and so I'm afraid I must cease my actions in this project
Fortunately, this round gives the perfect excuse, there could have happened a massive epidemic or something like that. Unless someone else wants to take the civilization, which is rather unlikely.

Fair daffodils, we weep to see
You haste away so soon:
As yet the early-rising sun
Has not attained his noon

This is something I would quite like to get involved in. I'm a little confused as to what time period exactly we're developing at the moment... would I claim and develop a culture for the time period leading up to the comet, since zompist said on the drama thread "OK, no new rounds for a couple months, but I encourage people to get their history together."?

Anyway, I have an idea for a culture at square Q2r or thereabouts. The basic premise would be that this area had long been inhabited by munkees, presumably distantly related to the monkees of Gaak, with also a population of humans who'd long been in conflict with the munkees, as suggested by the early prehistory of En Soki. But then an offshoot of the Ďomün migrated in at some point, and basically assimilated the native humans and subjugated the native munkees, while also picking up a sedentary village lifestyle from them. The new lords then learn of Gaak to the south, however, and how valuable the amphibomorphs are to them, and decide to raise their own, by taking larvae and raising them in human society.

It'll probably be a few weeks before I have the time to develop this culture much, but I'm really intrigued and excited at the prospect. I assume I'd want to be in touch with Clawgrip and Ol Bofosh to work out some details and interactions and things.

[zompist]

Glad you want to come on board! PM me if you want a wiki account.

You shouldn't develop past 5500, yeah. Ideally late arrivals also create late-arriving cultures— so your culture should become civilized sometimes past 3500. This makes it easier to join in (you don't have to have as long a history) and it's more naturalistic (not all cultures should appear at the same time). But you can have a longer history if you want.

This project sure seems to have stalled in 2015. However, when I have a bit of time, I think I will start up a new culture in L-1r. Haven't really decided what species or anything at all really yet, but I'd like to reserve that square anyway.
