Yeah. At the very least, we'll want to spend at least 7 of these points.

Arable land, though... Hm. It might be a while before people are even a possibility, looking at the costs. At 22 points, a best case scenario means that there's not going to be any races until another round passes.

Still, let's see what we can do. We've got 12 points, so we can make 3-4-3 shaped hexagon somewhere and still have a point left...

Perhaps something like this?

[
|O|O|B
O|C|H|P
|O|O|B|
]

In this case, O is oceans, b is beach, c is cliffs, h is hills, p is plains.

That looks good. Everyone will probably be placing things around the centre, so we should avoid that so there's no overlap.

Okay, how about... Let's see... 5,4 to start the pattern, then? that would put the ocean tiles at 5,4, 6,4, 5,5, 5,6, and 6,6, I believe.

There's still the question of what to do with the remaining point, though.

We could just save it for the next round.

We can, yes. We'll do that, then.

hm... Actually, maybe we could switch the hills out for mountains? Well, whether it's hills or mountains we'll be making them eventually, it's just a matter of which ones we want first.

Let's go with mountains. They're more interesting.

Hm... I think I miscalculated. We actually have 2 points left. We can save them, or spend them on adding a "rainy" climate to the plains... I'll leave the choice up to you, though.

Ah, that's right. ...We did make one of our inspirations overconsumption, so let's go along with that and spend the points right away.

Then, we have everything ready except for the flavor. Let's see...

"And then, there was noise. Waves crashed against cliffs, and rolled along beaches, filling the land with sound. Mountains reached to the heavens, wishing to partake in the joy of sound, and beyond them, the plains lay, devouring the constant sound of rain which constantly fell upon it, each drop of the rain its own tone, bringing life to the plains."

Is there anything we can add to it?

No, I think it's lovely as it is. You're very good at this.

Well, this is something I've got lots of practice with, at least. Part of my job back home was writing music, actually. I don't have all the skills for it back yet, though.
endsintheocean: (what good is it)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2015-02-07 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
What was your job, if you don't mind me asking?

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-07 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Explaining it simply would be "support". since I didn't have the power to help in the first war, I basically did a whole bunch of less important jobs. Information gathering, moral support, tactics...

And of course, music composing, lyrics, and remixing. That one's a bit hard to explain, but a quick explanation is that my race back home has the ability to manipulate sound: Songs were the best and most effective we had, even if I wasn't strong enough to have a direct effect on the battlefield.

...It sounds like your job wasn't too different from mine, then. Aside from the music, of course.
debate_avenger: (I can't explain.)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-07 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's all that stuff is important, even if the effects are less visible. It's a good job to have, though I remember how much I hated not being able to fight on the battlefield with everyone...

The next group I was in I wound up as the leader, but they really had no idea what they were getting into.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2015-02-07 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know how hard it is not being able to help when everyone else is fighting.

Was that other group also in the war?
debate_avenger: (My greatest failure)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-07 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
...Not yet. My intention was to get them involved in it, though.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] endsintheocean 2015-02-07 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
...I see. Would it have helped your people?

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] debate_avenger 2015-02-07 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly speaking, not much could help "my people" in the situation I remember. We're treated like monsters wherever we go, in spite of us being the only ones that can hold off the reality-eating monsters attacking everyone.

Well, they were still amazing. They were the children of my former comrades, actually.
