Maybe, I wasn't clear, I posted this in both treads buuut...

I named a period "The First Messianic War".

I used my turn that way because SDK and SirP made events in the first period so I went ahead and named a period and set it to dark.
 The reason I bring it up is well because the war is a period that I've added and I"m not sure that once thats bolded as a period Dictuum Might or Might NOT want to use his turn for something else.


So it should say. . .

Start Period(Dark): A centuries-old prophecy comes true
Event: The child of prophecy is born (Light)
Event: Gambit of the Last Emperor (Dark)

Period (Dark): The First Messianic War

Period(Dark): The treachery of the Messianic Empire

Ending Period(Light): Treaty of the twelve nations



... so I hope that clarifies things from my end. Thanks.

Wha-? No you didn't! Sorry for not replying, it's August and most of the staff here are on vacation, so all work must be done by us, the slav- err soldiers.

Hey, I was under the impression that if you are not the lens, you can add events/scenes/periods only under the current focus (is that me or?). Now that our focus is a scene, I'm confused :p we add to that or to whatever we like?

Decide which player will start: that player becomes the first Lens. If someone
is teaching the game, they should be the first Lens. You can give the Lens a
large and visible object to remind everyone at the table who it is.

1) Declare the Focus:
The Lens declares the current Focus
of the game, the part of history you’re going to explore
right now.
2) Make History: Each player takes a turn creating either
a Period, Event or Scene.
The Lens goes first, then go
around the table to the left. What you create must relate
to the current Focus.
The Lens can choose to create two things on her turn, so
long as they are nested inside each other: either a new
Event plus a Scene inside that Event, or a new Period
plus an Event inside that Period. This gives the Lens more
power to get the Focus going.
3) Lens Finishes the Focus: After each player has taken a
turn, the Lens gets to go again and add another Period,
Event or Scene (or two nested things). This lets the Lens
have the last word about the Focus.
After all players have addressed the Focus, we take a step back and examine
Legacies, elements of the history we want to remember to explore later
on:
4) Choose a New Legacy: The player to the right of the Lens
picks something from play during this last Focus and
makes it a Legacy.
5) Explore a Legacy: The same player creates an Event or
dictated Scene that relates to one of the Legacies, either
the one just created or one already in play.
6) New Lens: The player to the left of the Lens then becomes
the new Lens and picks a new Focus. Repeat.

No, I'm here, though I've lost track of who's turn it is and what we're doing. Lol.

Would you rather reboot the whole thing?
I don't think the rest of the guys are interested.

Hmm. Sounds good with me. Glad I kept checking back. Its just these types of setbacks that make people hesitant to do pbp's on anything I think which is sad. Sure though, I'll try it again if you're down.
