A fire lives only while someone keeps it
It burns in the open browsers of the people here. No server holds a copy. When the wood
runs out, or the last keeper closes the page, it is gone, along with everything said
around it.
Add logs to keep it burning
One log adds 5 minutes. A fire holds 30 minutes of wood
at most, so an open page is not enough: someone has to come back and feed it. Each keeper
waits 1 minute between logs.
Colours show where keepers are
Your colour comes from your time zone, nothing more exact. The flame is the blend of
everyone present, and every log leaves a mark in its keeper's colour.
Carry an ember to start a new fire
- Take an ember from a living fire
- Carry it to a place with no fire
- Light the next generation of its line there
An ember stays hot for 10 minutes. The fire it came from keeps burning.
The new fire remembers it as its parent.
Private fires
"Light a private fire" opens a new place with its own link. Only people who have the link
will find it.
What remains
A fire that goes out leaves a tombstone in your graveyard: how long it burned, its colours
and its line. Your record of logs, time tended and embers carried stays on this device.
