Gaming

Me: I have the day off. I should play some games.
Also Me: *browses through game sites* Howabout 4thewords?
Me: Self, you realize that is not a game, right?
Also Me: Sure it is! Let's beat up some monsters.
Me: By writing. You beat monsters up by writing. That is not gaming. It requires thought.
Also Me: It doesn't have to be complicated writing. Or a lot of it! We could beat up the little 250-word monster. It'd be quick.
Me: I don't think you understand what "relaxing" is.
Also Me: It's at least as much fun as Flight Rising and you get a story out of it at the end.
Me: ... point.
Me: But no, really, this is not gaming.
Also Me: You do text RPGs with your friends. That's gaming, right?
Me: Yessssss but --
Also Me: So writing by yourself is basically like a single-player text RPG.
Me: PLEASE STOP. You're just trying to get me to say "let's read a book" the next time I want to relax instead of looking for a game, aren't you?
Also Me: We do have that hardcopy of The Moon Etherium to proofread still.
Me: ... you are really messing with my self-image as a slacker, you know.
Also Me: \o/

I still wanna know what was going to happen in Elect. :D

Me too!

I could dig up my notes and let you know what things I had planned and what things I hoped the players would accomplish, but you never know how it's going to go until the players actually get there. The ending you got for Game of October was never in my plans. :D

Haha, that's true! XD Well, even if we never found out what the impact of the players would be, a lot of the stuff I was dying to know was about your world anyway. It was things like the nature of divine power, who or what Tehuti was and what really happened those eons ago. I wondered what the origins of the demons really were, and what happened to the world beneath Elect. What was the impact the demons really had before they lost their memories, and what was the history of the god-kingdom after it began. The magazines locked in that vault raised all kinds of questions. Maybe I wouldn't find out if Hikaru could recover or if War and Corruption could be redeemed or if Love could be saved, but there was just so much behind it all!
