Several times I tried to write an epilogue to the expedition through Erathia, but I just couldn't do it. Picking up an old train of thought can sometimes be difficult, or maybe I'm just lazy. Otherwise, I would really like to say that this is just an unfinished ending for this part, but, most likely, there won't be any other continuation, neither in the form of an expedition nor in the form of mafia. During that lengthy battle, I caught myself thinking that performing the functions of a computer is a very tedious task, and overall, actively running the game leaves no time for anything else, and I don't want to do it sloppily at all, and there's no point in it anyway. In short, I doubt I'll ever run anything of this sort again. After all, it's better to stare at the monitor without doing anything productive, or watch Japanese cartoons, or grind champion points...
In any case, I would gladly play in someone else's expedition or a similar game if I liked the setting, but I'm extremely tired of mafia games. In principle, I could have said this about, probably, forty games ago, but only now have I fully realized how much they have degenerated for me. That is, their quality hasn't gotten worse, but they hold absolutely no interest for me anymore. The issue, of course, lies with me, but here's the problem: I can observe a similar mood in other users of this wonderful resource, otherwise the games wouldn't be going so slowly.
And if we discard mafia and the expedition, what remains? The worn-out Haven, a serious topic that I don't even want to mention, 'what you are listening to and what you are watching', and that's it. In other words: there's nothing here. Oh yes, there are also the New Year threads repeating year after year, and the spring ones after them. But they are too infrequent and their content is too monotonous to run them more often.
Let me clarify that this is not a whine about how things were better before or anything like that. Right now, I just felt like seeing something.
This is something like a contest where we post pictures and music, but of a slightly different nature. I don't know what will happen with this thread next or if anything will happen with it at all, but the first idea is this: let's say, write some text (from 500 characters; preferably, of course, more, but let's be realistic, for most people even that number will be too big) in any style but indirectly related to HeroesWorld. That is...
It could be a short story on some free topic (ala the kingdom of HeroesWorld or whatever) or some reflections (on the topic of how life sucks, for example, ha) or something else, but the main thing is that either the author himself (or exclusively his thoughts on the topic) or HeroesWorld members appear in the text. Well, you get the idea, a kind of verbal outburst. Then, when I receive all the "works", I will post them in this thread without signatures. As a traditional activity, we can try to guess who wrote what, but for me personally, the main point of interest would be, firstly, reading what is on everyone's mind, and, secondly, discussing it in a familiar company. An important clarification here: only people from the general chat, mafia, and the expedition can participate in this, and not even all of them. No Mortuluses, DaU, or others. The idea is to do this in a cozy, friendly atmosphere.

Below you can sign up and thereby let me know of your desire to participate in this or ask any questions. As usual.

Well, if there are no willing participants, then fine, I'll return to my important business. And then I'll still make you do it for New Year's anyway

say, write some text (at least 500 characters; preferably more, of course, but let's be realistic — for most, even that number will prove too high) in any style but indirectly related to HeroesWorld.

I'm not a writer, unfortunately :( But I can post something from my travel notes. About tea, for example. Or about other substances popular in Asia, and how I almost got hooked on them out of ignorance )) Or something else. About laziness. About the "tomorrow" mentality. About revolutions and civil wars, which have been plenty here over the last 20 years. About Asian queens and kings, who also haven't died out yet ) About the heavy burden of the "white man" among the natives ))). I need to think it over. If, of course, this can be considered indirectly related to HeroesWorld. Very, very indirectly ))
I will only be able to post it if:
1. such a topic is acceptable.
2. my Monday plane doesn't crash somewhere over the Indian Ocean :smile28:
3. and then I'll need about 10 days to force myself to format the text ) Because laziness is a second happiness )

I would also write something, but I haven't been playing Heroes for that long to come up with some kind of kingdom, but I can share some excerpts from my story that I was preparing for the expedition, but I just couldn't find the strength to finish either the first or the second part. Of course, then it will be quite easy to guess, but maybe I'll come up with something else, we'll see. The idea is good overall.

Or about other substances popular in Asia, and how I almost got hooked on them out of ignorance ))

During that lengthy battle, I caught myself thinking that performing the computer's functions is a very tiring task

Yeah. After your expedition, I totally get you. By the middle of the game, I felt like I was sitting down at the computer to work.

and overall, actively playing the game leaves no time for anything else

staring at the monitor without doing anything productive, or watching Japanese cartoons, or grinding champion points

h)

but I've gotten utterly tired of mafia games.

Yeah, mafia games got a bit stale.

In other words: there's nothing here.

h((((

I don't know what will happen to this topic next, or if anything will happen to it at all, but the first idea is this: say, write some text (from 500 characters; preferably more, of course, but let's be realistic, for most that number will prove to be too large) in any style but indirectly related to HeroesWorld.

I'll try to scribble something after the mafia game ends.

If, of course, this can be considered indirectly related to HeroesWorld. Very, very indirectly

It can. In fact, it concerns you, and you are a part of HeroesWorld.

True, it won't be hard to guess then

The point isn't really about guessing; it's just a small addition to the general process. As I already wrote, the theme and style are very loose.

By the middle of the game, I had the feeling I was sitting down at the computer to work.

and in the first expansion, there weren't even stats, just abilities.

In the first game, there were no skills.

Maybe there weren’t any arsons there?

There were biographies with a ton of skills, and professions were also mentioned.

I remember it being in the second game, but not the first.

In any case, they somehow managed to play without all of this.

I've had ideas swirling around about stories for a long time, but honestly, nothing for HeroesWorld has really matured. Although, maybe I'll manage a small parody, we'll see ;)

Ugh, maybe the idea isn't that bad after all.

Because stat progression isn't necessary.

Ar, I've played games that were built purely on common sense and didn't have any stats at all. And, strangely enough, it was harder to break those games than the ones with complex systems.
