No, I wrote that you fell asleep because it's an unspoken presumption that all characters sleep every day before traveling the following day. Sleeping does not count as an actual event in the game, along with eating and going to the restroom. Please disregard the fact that you fell asleep.

There may be sleeping powder or other forms of powers which lull you to sleep during the daytime or for extended periods of time in the future, however.

I hold up the algae and follow the fish slowly, looking carefully to the left and the right for anything of interest (more plants, other passageways).

If there are other passageways, I follow and investigate a few of them for anything of interest, but always return to the main corridor when done to follow the fish

MracY voices to the caretaker in a beautiful white, silky robe that he is hungry and that he would like some food.

Try to write sentences non-ambiguously, unless it's on purpose.
Although I don't mind wearing a beautiful, white, silky robe.

Does time flow equally between all players?


You also seem to have not that many people who are playing right now.
Maybe you can get some more, if you want.

Thank you for the advice. I would try to be more precise in my language, but in my opinion, ambiguous sentences tend to flow more naturally in creative writing. If I reworded the sentence you pointed out, it would read, "MracY voices to the caretaker, who is wearing a beautiful white, silky robe, that he would like some food." If you have any examples of precise language that would sound more natural in the English language, then please show me. As of now, though, I will make sure to only write ambiguously when the possibility is expected. In addition, you may always ask about ambiguous phrases when you're unsure what I mean to convey.

Yes, each update counts as one day for every player.

I would love to have more players; anyone is allowed to join at any time.

I stick with the rabbit for a little longer, but if it looks like it's not going to do anything else of importance for some time, I turn around and go back towards the head.

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

You're tracing quite the groove here, but what's your intended purpose for this trail?
Do you intend to explore east again at some point?
Or is it just to make sure you don't lose your orientation?

Not just for in the case of losing orientation, but in the case that someone would wish to follow, or not follow.

I think the textbook solution is this, although also not particularly elegant.

MracY voices to the caretaker in her beautiful white, silky robe that he is hungry and that he would like some food.

It is also possible to rewrite the sentence without ambiguity by making it longer, by adding some mannerisms.

At this stage, you can mention her robe by having her do something involving it,
although I think it's usually better to mention the general outline of how something looks when something is either introduced, or by creating a situation in which it is relevant to describe it.

Oh, okay. Should I plan actions as if the situation is the same when I wake up, or should I wait for an update? For example, I could picture you saying next turn "you wake up surrounded by people curiously looking at you!" and I wouldn't want to queue any actions not taking the new situation into account.

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

The situation is exactly the same everytime you wake up unless a sleeping potion or another related item is used on you. When I post the latest update, that update is the current state of affairs until the next update.

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Ok cool then when I wake up I keep going towards the sound

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Update tonight please?

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

I'm planning on updating this thread in the next hour or so, but I can't update your actions yet, gold stinger. You posted that you would like to retrace your steps via moonwalking, but you also posted that you would like to travel westward, (which is away from your original location) and meet with Omega to ask if he would like to travel with you, which are three separate actions. Will you please clarify which direction you would like to travel?
