The Thrive Odyssey

Great! My first action as the greatest ape that ever existed is actually quite simple - search for food.
After all I can’t rule the world without eating. XD

do you want to name your monkey?

Sure, it will be Grodd.

Of course you can! You just need to wait for next round, so that TeaKing may add you to the game.

Yup. Honestly I just picked the first name that came to mind. Hopefully my Sisyphus will have better luck.

Can I tell you my actions from now or I must wait until you’re finished with everything?
(In case it’s the first - I order to my ape to interact with the other members of the group in order to get higher in the social hierarchy XD)
(Oh, and sorry for bothering you in Christmas. Wish you happy holidays!:slight_smile: )

@TeaKing I think you forgot @Ansc.

Anyway…

I know it might be against one rule about language, but just so you know.

Fun fact: We say the former (first option) or the latter (last option).

Well, technically, you are playing AS your ape, not ordering him/her.

For now, I had been named leader by getting charismatic perk, which gives me the ability to give 1 free action to someone I choose and it is guaranteed to work.
I think having 2 leaders, a council or a “second officer” will be possible once we enter neolithic prehistory or Act 2 (civilizations) since we will be more organized.
But yeah, that’s what the leader ability does, it gives free actions (a single one per round).

Now, we will be waiting for our Grand Game Master!

Oh, and Merry Thrivemas! (or Merry Smissmas, or hum… oh belgium! holy belgium!)

I didn’t forget them, they haven’t been online for some time so I excluded them, they still can rejoin, they’re not completely out of the game.

yes, you can, but I advise you don’t until I give all the info.

i will make a knife and try again to make the robes.
p.s i do not know wich tool you are hinting at.

i was talking about the knife.

Wait, am I not supposed to have +3 points for lighting the fire since I’m a pyro?

Anyway…


Abayomi decides that Grodd goes with him to the fire pit.
On his part, Abayomi goes with Grodd to his fire pit, which is not burning anymore, to see if there is anything curious over there.
P.S.: The objective here is to “accidentally” discover pottery (meaning we would find “hardened dirt”). By discovering it, it would probably give Grodd the Philosopher perk along the way, so it’d be a win-win situation.

That’s cool but am I supposed to help you somehow with doing something like “observe the hardened dirt” or there’s no need for doing something at all. XD.(sorry for the stupid question, but I gotta learn how to work with the game mechanics XD)

you don’t need to do anything, Abayomi’s leadership makes him able to give someone a free guaranteed to work action.
and it’s okay to ask questions, no matter how stupid or weird they are. (BTW yours wasn’t dumb)


a: drink from the lake.

Action: Deposit the food in the food pile, squishing the bugs so they don’t crawl away.

Grodd tried interacting with the rest of the tribe, but they’ve been using simple language for so long they didn’t understand what he was trying to communicate. (Grodd is a new ape and he can’t learn and understand language in 5 hours) then after a little while abayomi ordered him to help himexamine the fire pit, after investigating the strange rock thing they found that wasn’t there before, Grodd spent some time thinking about this thing, this gave hime the philosopher personality!
