Here's the log for the second session, Pollyanna's Quest 2. I had learned my lesson and started on Grass Mingle this time. I actually started it the same day as the first session - right after the previous failed - and finished it the same day. This clan probably lasted around 21 days. With this file, I've learned my lesson: don't even try to hit a defender bear. Even if you don't hurt it, it will retaliate. (The starting creatures, from left to right, counter-clockwise: Tiko, Nivan, and Meelki.) SESSION 2 ----------------- File is "Pollyanna's Quest 2," starting on Grass Mingle. IMPORTANT CREATURES - TIKA, a cream female nicheling with darker spots and blue eyes. She is the STARTING FEMALE, and can dig and swim. - NIVAN, a gray male nicheling with huge ears. He is the STARTING MALE, and can hunt and gather. - MEELKI, a black male nicheling with spines and a platy bill. He is the STARTING CHILD, and he can hunt and swim. - KOEL, a melanistic female nicheling with a derp snout. TIMELINE Day 1: Tika and Nivan discover that Meelki is sickly. Day 2: Tika is avoiding Meelki, but Nivan is still kind to the child. Day 4: Meelki discovers a permanent nest. Day 5: Tika moves into the nest and discovers Koel, who is melanistic. Meelki decides she will be a forager. Day 6: Tika begets Ronunu, Nivan's son. Day 7: Meelki accidentally sickens Nivan, and Tika becomes increasingly agitated. Day 9: Tika is sickened, too. Nivan attacks a bearyena. Day 10: Meelki dies of illness, but not before advising Nivan to investigate the bearyena. Day 11: The bearyena kills Nivan. Tika begets Kuen, a son. Day 13: The bearyena approaches the nursery, and an enraged Tika finally kills it. Koel, knowing Meelki's wishes, rescues the bearyena cub. Koel and Tika get into an argument about who would be the next Moonseer. Tika wants Kuen to be the Moonseer, because his fur color matches the legendary Pollyanna's. Koel refuses, saying that Meelki wanted her to be the next one. Tika is extremely angry, and Koel tries to calm her by promising she would train Kuen. Tika continues to be angry. Day 15: Tika delivers Tais and dies, while Kuen is suddenly killed by an unfriendly bearyena. Koel interprets this as a punishment against Tika. Day 16: The mean bearyena kills Tais. Ronunu invites Lurlur (with Koel's permission). Everyone decides it is best to leave the mean bearyena. Koel declares Ronunu to be a hunter, and Lurlur a carer. Day 17: Ronunu grows up, and Koel names him Rust. Rust kills the harassing bearyena. Day 18: Koel begets Aname, child of a rogue, but flees from a defender bear. Rust foolishly tries to attack the bear, but fails. Day 19: The defender bear does not attack Rust, and Lurlur scolds him. Day 21: Koel gives birth to Donno, child of the bearyena, but the defender bear kills Koel. Everyone harasses the defender bear, and everyone ends up dying.

This is the log for the first session, Pollyanna's Quest, which started on the island type First Snow. It lasted only 40 days, (The starting creatures, from left to right: Tiko, Meelki, and Nivan.) SESSION 1 ----------------- File is "Pollyanna's Quest," starting on First Snow. IMPORTANT CREATURES - TIKA, a gray female nicheling with yellow eyes. She is the STARTING FEMALE.

Rules: Gem colors are this: 1st is mother's rank, 2nd is creature's rank, 3rd is father's rank The ranks of the tribe are these: MOONSEER - Color: Seashell Moonseers are an alpha rank. Creatures guide the clans' efforts to survive, and receive prophecies and omens. HUNTER - Color: Red Hunters are a beta rank. Creatures hunt and defend the clan. They are usually strong. FORAGER - Color: Gold Foragers are a beta rank. Creatures gather food like berries and worms, and also explore. They are usually skilled. EXPLORER - Color: Lime Explorers are a beta rank. They are specialized for travel, and creatures can move quickly over great distances. They are usually skilled swimmers or are able to fly. CARER - Color: Cyan Carers are a beta rank. They watch over the clan. Creatures keep babies safe, heal other creatures, and keep things tidy. They are also tell stories. DOUBTFUL - Color: Purple Doubtfuls are an omega rank. They are creatures who have not yet proven their loyalty or who are likely to be expelled from the clan when times get tough. Invited creatures start out as Doubtfuls. ELDER - Color: Brown Elders are an omega rank. They are creatures who are elderly or very ill, or who have retired. Unlike Doubtfuls, they are treated kindly. A special ceremony celebrating their lives is held when they die or have to be left behind. RANKLESS - Color: Light Gray Rankless creatures are beta rank. They are exclusively children who have not received a rank yet. All creatures are extremely frightened of Bearyenas. Hybrids are not allowed unless the Moonseer decides that a cub can be accepted into the clan. Only one full Moonseer can be in power. Moonseers who are not fully trained are beta rank. All creatures are born with a randomly-generated name and no rank. When they become a teen, they gain their rank, and when they become an adult they earn their adult name. Goal/Story: Long ago, an early Moonseer's actions made her legend. Her name is Pollyanna, and she had white/beige fur, one claw paw, no horns, and a fluffy tail. She had pure white spots. I wish to breed a nicheling like her. Pollyanna's memory laid the foundation for future Moonseers, and she is honored every full moon. Also, because of her, spotted or pale-furred nichelings are favored, especially when deciding the future Moonseer. Finally, I want to conquer the starting island and make sure this clan is long-lived. "You can call me Pollyanna "Say I'm crazy as a loon "I believe in silver linings "And that's why I believe in you." (Pollyanna, sung by Catherine Warwick)
