Tamekia  I think the point of this forum is for EVERYONE to express their views, not just Jeff fans, which by the way is what I used to beThis is about aalepmgy and nothing personal.TJ  Exactly. It just feels to me like it's his time to go. I was his fan initially, and he blew it, so it's time to get over it and go home already. No more help, no more special powers, come on, just let him leave with some dignity. He screwed upIt happens. But he's not proven himself to be anymore worthy than anyone else  except perhaps Natalie. It's really sad how desperate BB is to keep himI think they will lose a lot of viewers if they keep giving him such an unfair advantage. I don't even trust that Pandora Power because they won't even say what it is, which means they can make it whatever they want to make it!Anna  I'm on your page sort of   I want anyone, but Natalie  or J/J to win lol.  That pretty much leaves Michele and Kevin, whom I think have done a good job of keeping their integrity while getting their hands dirty and playing the game. For me it's pure strategy of the game and nothing personal.

'''The Myth of Prometheus'''
 
 
 
 
 
''The brothers Prometheus and Epimetheus journeyed from Mt. Olympus to Earth and visited the Greek province of Boitia  where they made clay figures. Athena took the figures and breathed life into themThe clay figures that Prometheus had created became Man and honored him. The figures that his brother Epimetheus created became the beasts, which turned and attacked him.''

'''What is the Prometheus project'''
 
 
 
The Prometheus Project is a user created campaign setting that centers around the emergence of city states during the Bronze Age in several different fictional cultural areas. There will be a standard format of information. Each area would have its own common language, agricultural practices etc., but each city state would have its own God, laws, temples, military, currency, weights and measure, trade practices etc. Once all the basic background for each city state has been created (which might take a long while) it could be further developed by jumping ahead 500 years (an Iron Age setting) or so and give background on how the city states were united into one kingdom and the current political situation. If this weren't enough I would also eventually like to do version of these kingdoms being merged into an Empire by force of arms.
 
 
 
 
 
While ancient Greek, Sumerian, Egyptian (and other) sources could and would serve as an invaluable source of information on ancient city states what I would really like is to produce, or I should say, help produce something original. The Prometheus Project does not use any one game system or engine, it is a generic settingAs such stats and material from copyrighted games should not be included.
