The Children of Húrin*

By J. R. R. Tolkien

Been playing lots of Pokemon today. I swear you get the strangest stuff as a Pokemon Trainer. It's not unusual for video game characters to get odd objects for their adventures but Pokemon Trainers get lots of strange objects. Honestly it would make it onto one of those compulsive collecting shows in real life. I've got ropes, berries, a 4 way commutation device, lemonade, antidotes and that's just a small portion. My character seems to be a crazy, collecting pack rat, willing to accept every object he receives and carry it wherever he goes, just in case he will need it in whatever case it may be.

Increasing The Soul Rating

        Unfortunately humanity your Positive Soul rating has gone down and is teetering dangerously low. Considering the gods have given your world a soul you should increase your Positive Soul rating. The fate of your planet depends on it. We recommend lots of party with plenty of pizza. If action is not taken, your planet could be destroyed.

        Positive Soul rating is determined by the collected happiness of a person considering there situation. Your planet has a cumulative rating of all your people. So a person who remains in a terrible situation but still manages to be happy can generate Positive Soul but someone in a good situation also has to generate Positive Soul proportional to their situation.

       Your Positive Soul ranking is plummeting because you have so many positive things happening in many of your worlds countries yet those people are not being as happy as they should be based on the potential happiness they should be. Put a smile on people! I'm merely a spirit working for the gods. But I can still tell you that if you don't they will deem your species a waste of Soul and destroy your planet to move the soul to a new life bearing one and make another intelligent species(they hesitate because of the trouble of evolution) to try and make a better use of Soul.

      So please do throw some parties. I don't know the best way to do it, but maybe you could even invent a few new holidays. I wouldn't want to see another planet scrapped so quickly. One happened last week and you're teetering on the edge. It's always based on your situation, so no matter how terrible or good your life is, it's what you make of it that determines the rating. So please, throw a groovy party and have a blast, before it is too late.
