Thank you.

Sounds like you're getting a taste of your own medicine, huh? As the primordial Eve, you just birthed 14,000 new babies, and now they're all 'F'-ing you. XD

I personally like the "wild child" attitude of baby tear-assing away. I've always wanted a game that you couldn't choose your starting condition in, and wouldn't want to see OHOL capitulate to the norm. That said, I do think that there is a weird incentivization structure around rerolling characters quickly if you don't get what you want. It leads to some strange behavior. Something could probably be done to either coax players into their roles or let them have that single up-front Eve/child choice.

Jason: you big, beautiful doofus. Do you see what you're doing? You've worked your way so deep into our feels that we're inclined to hate you for threatening any of our tiny owned changes. Yeah, you're probably a bit worried over the hoopla, but you should also be grinning ear-to-ear. People are invested in their eleven carrots and a snare, and you've only just scratched the surface (pun intended, failed, moving on) of how people can mark their environment. 

I'm going to write more thoughts elsewhere, but I just wanted to say that the Apocalypse is another great step towards the stakes that this game must have. I hate it so much, enough that my mild-mannered self typed in "Fuck you people" on the Twitch channel responsible for the 2nd one before catching myself and wondering at my investment. As the game gives me more ways to alter the world, the Apocalypse will become even more anathema. If married to ways to thwart it, evade it, or, failing, to cast something into the void in the hopes of transcending it, we'll be in an awesome place.

A lot of work to do to get it just right, but the End of Days is going to be a great feature of this project one day.

Also, just registered for the forums. Some great ideas floating around on here (and some awful ones). Cannot wait to see where this goes. The well of natural inspiration to draw from seems limitless, and there are so many hints at interesting designs that OHOL suggests.

More to come..
