I think I suffer from . . . getting lost in everything. ^^;; I have to echo Bruce's player in that I wish there were some way to know what I can affect icly. I fully understand your reasoning for why you don't want to give a list, but . . . I wonder if it's possible to give more of a sense of structure for the city itself? Like . . . what buildings are there? Which ones are likely to be guarded and which are open for public access? What is one likely to find in them? (Like the libraries, for example?) That kind of thing.

I appreciate the free reins, but I feel almost a little . . . too free? I don't know what I can and can't put my fingers into or even what there is to put my fingers into, so I have trouble generating ideas to come to the mods with. If that makes sense?

I may try to help a little of this; I was thinking Amelia might try to get people to talk about what they know in a post -- gather it together for everyone to see.

More relevant to the plotline: I also kind of felt that the turtle sickness event was too close to the landfall event. I probably could have used about two weeks of each? (Seems like a good compromise down from one month and up from one week?)

The same problem as above with Atem too . . . you gave really great detail on the people and then hints on the situation in that place, but it was hard (at least for me) to see a way to capitalize on that and learn more.

Hopefully this hasn't all come across badly; I'm just eager to dig into everything, but I'm having trouble seeing how to approach it without some additional structure. ^^;
