Everyone but me, you mean. :) There's two different issues here - the human timeline that gives an overview of each Age, and summaries of actions that are individual to societies. I agree (as was said before) that it would be great if the Ages could continue to be updated as the game continues. But the scale of that timeline isn't well suited to it - it's talking in hundreds of years. But if someone would volunteer to write an 'overview' of either game (perhaps from another 'point of view' - ie. a long-lived tourist :) as they go on it would be great as a seperate item. So... volunteers?For the individual timelines, I like the 5-turn idea (people could update more regularly if they wanted). Giving players responsiblity for their web pages was what I was after in the first place - it's all of our web site. And I don't think my Perl is up to placing every single action up there. -- Edmund (who abandoned his 'point of view' in order to get something up :) BTW, is this list archived anywhere?
