Ok, you are going to HATE me, but I have several questions. Sorry if I'm just being blind or overly detailed. *winces*

1st- For the points system... when you say "reply" do you mean just your FIRST post, or does that mean every IC post you make earns you one point? For example:

Thread 1:
1 - Spidey opens
1- Ari joins
2 - Spidey
2 - Ari
3 - Spidey
3 - Ari
4 - Spidey
4 - Ari
closed

Does Ari earn 7 points for the thread (4 replies and 3 for finishing), or just 4 (1 reply and 3 finish)?

Likewise, does Spidey earn 7 points (4 posts, 3 finishing), 6 (3 replies, 3 finishing), 4 (first post or replying to Ari, 3 finishing) or just 3 (for finishing)? Sorry if this question is confusing... I can try and word it better if it helps.

2nd- For Villa en Miir creatures: Are they born with their markings (such as SD023's "lover" and "master") engraved into their fur, or are they given to them (like tattoos) at some point in their life (whether by ritual or what have you)?

And kinda going with that, do the markings always suggest something about the Card's character, history or personal experiences?

3rd- Still on Villa en Miir creatures- Is their jewelry (that their mother gives them) predetermined, or are we allowed to choose what it is?

(1) Every IC post you make in reply XD Ari would get seven points <3 Only the person who makes the actual last post in an RP gets the three points <3 So onnly Ari would get it in your example.

(2) They are born with the markings XD and, yes, they always mean something to the Card's past, personality, whathaveyou. But it can be as twisted as you like, or you can bury it as "past".

(3) You get to choose, hence the reason that neither Villa creation yet has their jewel <3

ok^^. So Spidey would just get 4 points for the posts she made? That makes more since. Thanks!

And sweet! Hazzah for twisted, dark pasts. *grins*

I was talking with a friend of mine last night and we were wondering what the technology level/era is in SD?

Being AiW-based I was figuring something Victorian-esque but I wanted to verify ^^

I know that there's at least clockwork mechanisms, because Maxwell is fascinated by them...

[FlyingPanther]

What kind of religions do they have? Is there any religious controvercy? Or do they have absolutely no religion? Or is religion baned...but there are several underground facets? I dont know...I'm just curious XD; I dont think any of my characters would be religious...but I never saw anything about any religion...and was curious as to if they have any...

Vyn: Think Victorian era style for most situations. Places like Corvistowne and the Wastes, and Tulgey Wood are more advanced, however. For them think anywhere from early 1900's (Trains and lightbulbs) to music machines (Radios) they're geniuses <3 Other realms usually delight in the new creations and medical advances (early 1900's again), for example no one really uses candles anymore <3 Electricity is abundant. (No TV though).

FP: I'm not quite through with religions yet. It was something that still needed work but wasn't quite as pressing. I'll get cracking on it soon <3 Remind me and my poor shattered memory <3

What kind of wildlife is eatable in each region?

Just wondering how point spending works... okay, say you have 50 points exactly, and you want to grow a baby [10 points] and also go up in rank from 10 to Jack [50 points]. When you grew the baby, would those ten points effectively be spent and dissapear, or would they stay and be able to be used towards something bigger when more points are accumulated? In this case- the rank jump.

If anyone plays on PonyIsland, I'm thinking of the system of PG (spendable-dissapear) vs BP (accumulative-never dissapear). Depending on the answer, Astyana may have a lot of posting to do XD

Okies <3 Tigsy.

So you have 50 points. You grow the baby, so 50-10 = 40 The ten you spent are gone for good. Also in order to grow a baby you have to have ten points for them, but also ten posts from said baby. Once you have those I'll be thrilled to grow them. (You might already, I haven't checked, it's just fyi.)

So after this you are left with 40 points. After getting ten more they can be used to raise rank. Or whatever <3 Huzzah! *Dances*
