Where is the seed, also? It would make a pretty cool (and slightly unusual) campaign story - I might even try running that sometime.  However, increase it change, right? Entropy tends to disorder and all that. Thus, as the God of Time, I'm quite up for you trying to choke the world in plants.

Asking me where the seed is...  I was thinking it fell into one of the permanant Oases of the Mirage Valley. That should be complicated enough trying to reach it and make it... difficult to remove, as any living object found outside said oases is killed in moments when things change from forest to desert. And excellent! Begin the descent of Ikola into madness and evil!

So... No one (except for me) has spent any PP this week, as its been a slow week. We *could* reset, but I'm leaning towards just waiting till next weekend. If anyone has strong objections, let me know. Also: Thanks Fred, that was fun

Nah, just wait for now. I was kind of hoping that seed would just sprout on its own. Well, perhaps given a little Time... I can wait, though. Omus is sad that non of the other gods are as intelligent as him.

Working on a post at the moment myself, but a thought Toph. Might want to include the map in the early OOC posts to make it easier to locate. I didn't see it there.

Also, I notice their doesn't seem to be much information on the map on where our land based populaces are located at the moment.
EDIT: Epic post s up! And I continue to taunt Ikola just a little bit :D

And yet your taunt was Ikola's point the entire time :D

Mostly because I like avoiding having to completely rework the map every time Omus gets the itch to give me work (:P) I call shenanigans on that latest expenditure of yours, Fred! We don't have ice caps. We don't... actually... appear to have any *ice* at all except the orb of everlasting ice (which does not appear to create ice... at least not without direction) and the effects of magic exploration of the past. Ergo, while I completely agree that putting a sun hovering above the earth *would* melt the ice caps... as before we had a fairly uniformly heated region and no ice caps were ever mentioned... I call shenanigans that they now both exist *and* are now melting

Sorry about the map!
However, it has nothing to do with ice caps. The sea level rises because the water in the oceans expanded with the heat. Only slightly, but there's a lot of sea to expand.
Even on our planet, arctic melting ice doesn't do much for the sea level I believe since it's mostly underwater anyway, and it shrinks when it melts, though antarctic ice would contribute.

... Perhaps. Since I'm bored at work, I did some calculating (helped by the internet). On your average backyard pool (12x24) by say, 4.5 feet deep on average, if you raise the temperature by, say, 13 degrees, the pool level rises by about 0.1 inch. This is equivalent to a change from 1296 cubic feet to 1298.4 cubic feet, or a % change of (rounding up) 0.2% by volume. Using our oceans as an estimate, we have... 1.3 billion cubic Km of water on earth (never actually looked that up.... thats an impressively large amount!). Lets assume that instantaneously, we increase the temperature of that water by 13 degrees (Farenheit). This would increase the volume of the ocean by 0.2%, expanding it to... 1.3026 billion KM cubed of water. Or a change of 26 million cubic kilometers. The area of the ocean is 361 square KM. So those extra 26 million cubic KM equate to an increase in the height of the ocean by .072 meters at every point of the ocean, or... about 3 inches. A catastrophic flood But okay. Why not. You spent the PP, so it counts. Time to make a post-post-Omus map! Edit: hmm. I failed to take into account other parameters. You may be right after all.
