Title: Tick 111: SGame Over (not the epilogue)
Post by: Kilojoule Proton on October 10, 2014, 09:03:45 pm

The premise of the game is simple: You are a bunch of world-creating gods/god-like beings who must design a world by committee and/or subterfuge. The execution is somewhat less simple.

Major updates will take place once a day past 12:00 UTC (or 04:00 PST or 07:00 EST). Half updates will occasionally take place once a day at or (slightly?) before 00:00 UTC (or 16:00 PST or 19:00 EST) where my schedule and brain permit.

Character sheets should probably follow this template:

Code: [Select]

Name:
Sphere:
Primary form/associated symbol:
Description/Background:
Also, they go in the OOC thread (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144704.0) now.

You may optionally PM secret (or not-so-secret) goals of grand scale, e.g. an entropy player wishing to bring about a very early heat death. Eliminating your sphere's opposite is not secret enough to require a PM.

Spoiler: Guidelines (click to show/hide)

Name: Try not to make it stuff like xXUberTitan625Xx.
Sphere: For inspiration, you can check the DF Wiki (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Sphere) or the Hypertext d20 SRD (http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/spellLists.htm). One restriction is that there should probably not be significant overlap between players (e.g. five undifferentiated life gods (‼) or earth, rock, and sand gods). Opposites, however, are encouraged.
Primary form/associated symbol: While you are not required to have human cultural justifications, some things make no sense. Being a god of ice who takes the form of a sphere of white-hot lava is not a good choice.
Description/Background: Any fluff-text you might want. You probably will not have had much history yet, on account of the world not being created yet

Spoiler: Mechanics (click to show/hide)

Voting: Most actions in the game will be decided through voting. Certain small actions, particularly self-applied ones, will not require votes. You can vote to change game rules, the world and its contents, and assorted other rules like the ever-present non-intervention clause. Significant opposition to proposals and bad luck will likely blunt or subvert the resulting effects.

Essence: This represents both your health and your creative ability. You consume two units of it when you yourself perform a significant action and one unit of it when you perform a not-so-significant action. Additional costs may apply for particularly significant projects, and costs become cheaper when you have at least three deities working on the same action. If it goes down to 1, you should probably find some way to raise it or preserve yourself (e.g. possessing an artifact/site). If it reaches 0 and you have made no preparations, you die. Essence can be transferred between multiple deities by agreement or by force of the council. You all start out with 20/20 Essence.

Gaining Essence: You can gain Essence through Worship, ambient Essence income (very low, cannot prevent death), transfer from other gods, and your sphere's influence on the world. Some of you are aware of powerful beings beyond this world who can supply you with Essence in exchange for doing their bidding...

Losing Essence: You can lose Essence by consuming it, transferring it to other gods, and losing your sphere's influence on the world.

Worship: This represents how much genuine respect (whether reverence or fear) sapients have for you, and it contributes to your Essence daily income. Unlike Essence, it represents the rate of worship per turn and cannot be transferred, but deities can affect each other's Worship by affecting their followers. Worship from the extremely long-lived or immortal or extremely powerful is considered to be of lower value, as is Worship from the extremely short-lived or insufficiently sapient. Human-like sapients would probably supply around 1 WU*. Direct mind control nullifies Worship output.

Spoiler: Inactivity, stasis, dormancy, and character death (click to show/hide)

If you will be unavailable for at least 2-3 days, you have the option of announcing it and being marked as in stasis. This will freeze your income and prevent others from killing you off. Unannounced leave will result in being marked as inactive, which has a high chance of character death from opportunistic players.

If your Essence store goes down to 1, you will be marked as dormant. This is effectively the same as inactivity, but draining is more likely to cause a notification and the dormancy only lasts until the Essence store goes above 1.

If your character dies, you are free to rejoin as a new character with a sufficiently new/different sphere. I reserve judgment for too-close cases. You may optionally be revived with an investment of at least 15 Essence (which grants you 5 on revival). Additional Essence is added to the revivee at an exchange ratio of 1:3 (+6 Essence invested -> +2 Essence on revival) rounded down.

Spoiler: Main Council rules (click to show/hide)

These are all subject to addition, removal, and change by you.

An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council-produced creations are not to be tampered with without council approval. Failure to comply will result in the automated initiation of a trial.

Spoiler: Realism (click to show/hide)

Physics: The level of physics realism in this game will depend on you (pl.) and you actions. There is no easily definable minimum, but the maximum amount of realism is probably "Physics without substantial linear algebra."

Causality: If you can mess with it well enough (i.e. without implausible contradictions), it goes in. PMing me when setting up time loops would be nice.

Realist grittiness in general: As with physics, it depends on you (pl.). Hopefully, no one will complain if the setting becomes fantastic enough to have magic and something like an energy-free fast desalination technique appears.

Spoiler: Acknowledgements (click to show/hide)

This was influenced mostly by Shadestyle's You are a Tribal Mask (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=142898.0), Discworld, the many D&D 3.5 writers, (most likely some) MSPA, and, last but not least,

Description/Background: Empires fall from within. Such is the way of things, and the true measure of said empire's worth and its ruler's ambition. Oaths that cannot be broken and lines that cannot be crossed serve only to ask a very simple question:

Do you want it?

Stirk

Symbol: A large leech
Description/background: A manifestation of hunger; his purpose is to feed. Those who serve him are either those wishing to appease his great appetite in order to gain favor (and avoid being eaten) or those themselves with great hunger, either symbolic or literal. Places of Grauel's worship are often filled with people devising ways to produce as much food as possible both to feed themselves and their master. Places touched by Grauel's "wrath" or more accurately his "desperate hunger" when he isn't fed enough will be desolate badlands filled with ash, death and monstrous creatures hungrily hunting and fighting for whatever little food there is left. Rumor has it that some of these creatures were even once ordinary creatures polluted and twisted by the desperate hunger that drives all in these bleak lands.

Description/Background: It is said that Chyribylta was the God of Knowledge, until It's mastery over truth has driven it insane, corrupting its very nature into the enemy of its own former purpose. This God rides under the unseen guise of a fog or a starless night, spreading distrust between foreigners, persecuting the scholars, and opposing the advancement of knowledge. Yet some say that the God does not hate knowledge, but simply deem the world not ready yet for it as it temper their zeal with caution an d guard dangerous knowledge from being known.

Rolepgeek
Name: Darruth
Sphere: Goodness, Protection
Primary form/associated symbol: An open hand in offering, with a small bright oblong sphere in it, partially concealing a fist holding something, the nature of which is a matter of great debate among theologians, surrounded by an interwoven combination of metal chain and vine. The sphere is shaped such that it could be interpreted as an eye, instead, by some, particularly with the stylized gleam that it has.
Description/background: There is no single thing that is goodness. But there are those which come close, and the altruistic, selfless seed, no matter how small, that can be found in all people is proof of it. Darruth is both the Guardian and the Benefactor; the Avenger and the Merciful. Righteous anger and understanding forgiveness. That which is unjust? Will fall. That which is immoral? Must be cleared away, by education, persuasion, and enforcement. Good triumphs because that is the way of things.

That will always be the way of things.

She was always cheerful and nice to people, and everyone seemed to adore her. But her older sister got jealous of her friends and her beauty, and decided to lock her in her basement. After tying her arms and legs together with chains, she proceded to mutilate Melyssa's face, turning it into an unrecognizable bloody mass. The pain of this mutilation awakened an incredibly strong magic within Melyssa, which transferred her beauty into power. Now she wants to let every living being suffer.

I would like to encourage more physical deity and less ideological deity so there an actual world to be manipulate

Title: Re: Ye Gods: A god game of uncommon magnitude [5/∞] (Still recruiting!)
Post by: Kilojoule Proton on October 12, 2014, 05:18:24 am

Don't worry. Even if there are only ideological gods, the game will still start and worldbuilding will still be possible. If you want to change anything (or even completely rewrite your entry), you are still welcome to do so at this point, although the usual policy of discouraging excessively similar spheres still applies. I admit, playing a primordial elemental god of some sort might actually be fun in its own way. I did try balancing it so that deities can choose to be be primarily nature-based (natural influence-based Essence income) or worshipper-based (Worship-based Essence income), but it seems like I overemphasized the worship part.

Interesting. I'll try and think of something decent for a character sheet. Might take a bit.

Edit:

Name: Grauel

Sphere: Hunger

Primary Form: A shifting amorphous dark green being that continuously forms long snaking large mouthed appendages with many rows of razor sharp teeth. If he were to take a human form it would likely be somewhat recognizable by a strangely predatory grin.

Symbol: A large leech

Description/background: A manifestation of hunger; his purpose is to feed. Those who serve him are either those wishing to appease his great appetite in order to gain favor (and avoid being eaten) or those themselves with great hunger, either symbolic or literal. Places of Grauel's worship are often filled with people devising ways to produce as much food as possible both to feed themselves and their master. Places touched by Grauel's "wrath" or more accurately his "desperate hunger" when he isn't fed enough will be desolate badlands filled with ash, death and monstrous creatures hungrily hunting and fighting for whatever little food there is left. Rumor has it that some of these creatures were even once ordinary creatures polluted and twisted by the desperate hunger that drives all in these bleak lands.

Acknowledged. Does anyone else have any secret goals to declare? This can range from something as small as creating an afterlife to something as large as summoning a powerful extradimensional being or almost anything you can imagine.

Note that if you have a clearly defined opposite, you are encouraged to antagonize your (perceived) opposites, even try to remove them from power. Exercise caution when doing this so that we don't end up with a derail/flame war, and OOC notes are your friend. Also, be subtle and please do not kill off too many people the first few ticks even though character recreation/suspension is easy.

Minor change to Fusil:
Primary form/associated symbol: An elongated diamond shape acts as his symbol. When he chooses to appear, he takes over the weapon of one of his followers, speaking through it. Failing that, he forms a speaking flame in a flammable object.

Tick 02: The Void condenses

In the churning Chaos of the Void, a vast space begins to form, stabilizing and condensing. Ten figures begin emerging inside this stable pocket in the void. First, a silvery flowing humanoid with a book and spear and a colorful bubble of Void-stuff resolving into an inverted triangle and spade. Next, a weakened regal golden dragon wielding a massive crescent sword and another humanoid form, blue with piercing red eyes and a dark red cowl. Then, an elongated, fiery bronze diamond emerges out of the shifting void along with a large gold coin. From the shadows left by these manifestations, an indistinct humanoid of shadow materializes. The thoughts of creation and shaping this rare bubble of stability bring forth a towering six-handed humanoid of rock and metal, and the continued appearance of the figures causes a cloaked human carrying brass scales to form. Finally, out of the desire in the minds of these figures comes a dark green Void chunk from which appendages carrying slavering, ravenous mouths lined with teeth constantly appear and disappear.

In this realm, even your thoughts carry great power. You are the gods of this world.

Your world is currently as empty as things can get inside stable Void pockets. There are no stars or planets yet. The easiest and cheapest way to create is as a group, as Essence costs born by multiple gods are discounted. As agreement reaches 100%, cost multipliers approach a very low number. What do you do or create? (Be detailed!)

Mechanics notes:
A grand action is defined as an action that affects the game significantly (subjective). Actions such as destroying the previous work and starting over from scratch or decreasing the temperature of everything count as grand actions. Their costs are quite variable and adjusted as the plot (and consensus).
A major action is defined as an action performed on a massive scale. Initiating a major action consumes a base Essence of around 2, changing depending on the consensus (and plot), agreement with character sphere/background, and magnitude. Note that resistance to proposals will potentially interfere with the results of proposals even when they pass.
A minor action is defined as an action that affects little (subjective). Things like causing rain in a small area or manipulating probability using the Butterfly Method or appearing to followers count as minor actions. Their base Essence cost is typically around or under 1, and they typically do not require council approval.

"We need land. Something with...substance."

In an empty space in the void, there was a fire. Perhaps more akin to a star, a constant explosion from which a booming voice appeared.

"Yes. We must make a massive planet. A single continuing expanse to fill the void. It shal receive heat and energy from a benevolent sun above. The fertile ground will be the host of abundant resources and metals. And on this, we will plant a species. Immune to the ravages of time, so they may worship us forever, unless they are put to the blade. We can make them in the image of yourselves, with two hands fit for holding weapons, walking upright so they may see the targets. This planet will be a utopia for them, with beasts and forests filled with food for them if they only look. What do you say of this?"

Re immortal worshippers

Quote

Worship: This represents how much genuine respect (whether reverence or fear) sapients have for you, and it contributes to your Essence daily income. Unlike Essence, it represents the rate of worship per turn and cannot be transferred, but deities can affect each other's Worship by affecting their followers. Worship from the extremely long-lived or immortal or extremely powerful is considered to be of lower value, as is Worship from the extremely short-lived or insufficiently sapient. Human-like sapients would probably supply around 1 WU*. Direct mind control nullifies Worship output.

(Not a bad plan, though, as far as keeping bookkeeping easy goes. I estimate you will need not less than 80 base Essence)

You make the unfair assumption that all would necessarily wish to be immortal. For those who live and love, an immortal life could easily become quite painful should enough loved ones die without them ever having the hope to meet them again. Or at least not without finding methods of ending their own lives... And then they would have to choose between seeing their beloved dead and hurting the living ones who love them or never being reunited. Surely creating mortal creatures with an appropriate afterlife would be far more merciful. Then they can all live out the extent of their years, content to know they shall all be together one day without having to find creative ways of an early expiration...

Did you intend to create an afterlife where it would be likely for them to die again? I don't entirely understand your proposed scenario.

Interesting ground rules. Are you... voting that we do that? Does that count as one of your votes?

At any rate, if you both wish to make an immortal race of selfish war like creatures, go ahead. Truthfully it matters little to me.

I agree with the cycle of reincarnation, and think we should, for now, create only one or two worlds. We simply do not have the power for more at this time.

I propose we create the mortal realms now. The first shall be a world of dust and sand, ringed thrice by a ring of water (With a core of sand), a ring of ice (With a core of water) and a ring of clouds.
There shall be great constructs, forged of searing metals by the gods, which shall carry the power of storms as they stride across the land. They shall be known as life bringers, for they carry the waters of life as they travel. To guard them shall be wisps, creating lightning to attack those foolish enough to attempt to fell a life bringer, and repairing them should one fall.

(The life bringers will be giant metal beings that are constantly surrounded by storms. They can die if their heads, which contain a great pool of water, are destroyed. That's what the wisps are for.)

"Life bringers? That is an interesting idea, but I doubt it's what we're looking for. We should save our power for the essentials; nonsapient beings are not going to worship us. As for the layout of a world, yours is as good as any."

So we can create that world and, say, 300 sapients to live on it? Any ideas of what they could be? Perhaps something with two arms and two legs to begin?
I think the life bringers are simple enough that they will be of negligible cost next to creating an entire world.

Nah two leg and two arm is too good. Why dont you make them blob that needs you help so it is easier for us to gain control overthem as a dependent. I suggest a blob of brain that can feed itself but not much more than that.

Tick 02.5: Shapes emerge

There is much discussion among the newborn and newly arrived gods, mostly about the arrangement of the much-needed worlds and their inhabitants. Somewhat unexpectedly, given their diversity, there is little bickering. They appear to be rapidly approaching a decision to be enforced by the as yet-unnamed council—indeed, the first such decision! This will prove to be a grand resolution with far-reaching effects that will influence the form, inhabitants, and laws of the future also-unnamed-'verse.

Now, there is still much room for creation and modification.

(This summary is about 5 hours old. It probably shows.)

Spoiler: Council proposals (+1) (click to show/hide)

The following proposal seems to be the most recent version with significant support:

Quote from: IronyOwl on October 12, 2014, 10:11:41 pm

Valkiss snapped his fingers.

"Dying in the afterlife! That's perfect, we'll use that.

Instead of one realm, we'll have two. That is, instead of one realm for immortal avatars of their masters and one realm for living things, we'll have one realm for immortal avatars of their masters and two realms for living things. When they die in one, their soul is shunted to the other. That way by the time they make it back around, they should be sufficiently different, both from whatever losses they suffer from reincarnation, and whatever gains they achieve in between.


So what do you all say? Two realms, one for handcrafted immortals, one for a singular tribe. Within the tribal realm, two further realms, for them to bounce between on death. Within those realms, one tribe, well perhaps one each, differentiated and spread out as they're wont to be, but naturally and fluidly, not because they were carved that way or earmarked as sacred property."

Consensus is at 7-0/11 (7 support vs 0 oppose / 11 actives). Gods I understand to be in support of the current revision at this time include Valkiss, Azem, Grauel, Fusil, Cim, Anoth, and Serac. There are currently no gods opposed to it, and there are a few supporting earlier versions. In the future, please also provide lengthy, rapidly changing proposals in list/outline format, whether here or in OOC. This makes it possible to track support for specific parts and makes it easier for others to amend them. If you supported this proposal and do not appear on the list or rejected this proposal and are on the list, please send a correction at once.

The most recent direct proposed amendment to this proposal is this:

Quote from: Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum on October 13, 2014, 01:42:55 am

I agree with the cycle of reincarnation, and think we should, for now, create only one or two worlds. We simply do not have the power for more at this time.

I propose we create the mortal realms now. The first shall be a world of dust and sand, ringed thrice by a ring of water (With a core of sand), a ring of ice (With a core of water) and a ring of clouds.
There shall be great constructs, forged of searing metals by the gods, which shall carry the power of storms as they stride across the land. They shall be known as life bringers, for they carry the waters of life as they travel. To guard them shall be wisps, creating lightning to attack those foolish enough to attempt to fell a life bringer, and repairing them should one fall.

(The life bringers will be giant metal beings that are constantly surrounded by storms. They can die if their heads, which contain a great pool of water, are destroyed. That's what the wisps are for.)

It does not currently have enough feedback or explicit support, and neither do most of the amendments. Please remember to bold or underline support or opposition.

"I did not mean complete unconsciousness. I meant gradual learning and freedom for an easy landing to true free will. As the creatures slowly gain their independence of us, they understand how dependent they have been, and will not renounce us, out of their own free will. While we can't make them worship us, we can teach them how good doing so is to them. With a strong, logical argument, generations after them will keep giving us their worship. Immediately giving them free will might lead to them making rash decisions before they understand the workings of the world, and when the later generations notice this, they might act unpredictably. It is a good idea to plan for the future, you should know this."

Sleep is for the weak, isn't it?

I look toward the ocean god, disapprovingly.

"What purpose would making the world a desert have? We can make it a lush paradise with little more effort. We have no purpose for life bringers if the world itself acts as a life bringing. I would assume a water god such as yourself would detest the desert, not suggest it. Besides, that would block of the night sky one of us loves so much, and is simply untested. Why not go with a simpler, more practical design?"

"The sapients must have arms and legs, and the ability to do things for itself, at the very least to arm itself. What would be the purpose of making them if they could not perform the actions we need to survive? As for their 'free will', it matters not to me. Perhaps we should give the mortals free will, as an experiment, with the immortals as our devout followers? We can always change the mortals their next cycle if it fails, and it is my view that that was the intent in the first place. There will be no lost souls, as we are gods. If there are no births, we can send them to the world anyway if we so desire. There is no reason they can not be born a beast for a cycle. Failing that, we may simply wait for an opportunity to send them in, keeping them in the third realm until we get our chance."

A fine idea, Fusil. Practical solution for a problem. I can apreciate that. As for the land and sentients, the exact form of either is irrelevant, if we make them compatible. I would preffer a world where stone wood and metals were abundant, I care little abaut other factors. The mortals theemselves could be fully sapient, with few of them granted our blesing to guide the rest.

If such a situation were to arise, it would be a simple matter for us to intervene and end the conflict on at least one of the sides. Especially should we choose to work jointly in doing so. Regardless, I see your point and feel it would be ideal to have a situation where our intervention is not necessarily needed. A spirit realm of some sort does seem like a proper way to give everyone a break before they go on living another life should reincarnation be implemented.

Ah but wouldn't it be so much more satisfying to have them choose us rather than it being forced on them? For all included, I would think. And why should you as a god be so concerned with their defiance? It is surely within your power as it is within all of us to show might in a manner where it would be hard indeed for any lesser being to wish to oppose it. If they do still and it truthfully bothers you so? Well then eat them and be done with it.

"Sigh" Are you deaf? I asked if you wish your creations to be self loving and self serving. I directed no comment of the sort towards yourself... although if you are so eager to admit to such attributes then so be it.
Although you bring up an interesting point. If choice is treachery and dishonor would that not make all of us so, considering last I checked we appear to have at least a very close semblance of free will ourselves. Seems like a rather self defeating statement if I am not incorrect at interpreting your meaning. And who exactly are you trying to impress with petty insults? They make a poor substitute for logic based argument.
If you wish to make your servants without free will, be my guest. Create your kingdom of mindless golems and reap whatever benefits you can from it. I'll be interested to see how easily you stave off starvation.

While slithering away.
Regarding those... life bringers. Well whose to say we can't have those in addition to normal weather? Should an area be neglected of rain for whatever reason, they may well serve as an appropriate method for maintaining a healthy world. Still I'd rate them more as a secondary priority to making a regular self sustaining world if essence turns out to be initially tight.

Tick 03: Discussion intensifies

The gods continue their clamorous yet restrained discussion, arguing about what sorts of worlds to create and how to deal with their inhabitants. Some proposals are considered to have already passed, but whether or not to implement them immediately remains a question in some of the gods' minds. As their discussion enters a period of decreased intensity, some hear indistinct whispers from beyond the Great Film, the almost impossibly thin barrier responsible for separating the Void's Chaos from the bubble's Calm.

The council of gods has resolved to create at least one mortal race (02.00.b passed, 02.00.a failed) consisting of sapients and not sentients (02.01.a passed, 02.01.b failed) with minor resistance. They have also decided to support a reincarnation loop between the two corporeal worlds they plan to create (pass 02.02 and 02.02.1) to the protests of Khaziraad of Architecture. The infrastructure for this, the bifurcated mortal plane, is still guaranteed at this point (pass 02.04.1). A sizable minority of gods wish to create immortal, customized servants, but not enough agree to pass this measure (02.03 not passed). Some speak of creating personal realms for their closest followers and servants, but not enough gods seem to have discussed this (02.04.2 not passed). A few gods agree that the current arrangement is by no means perfect and have resolved to improve it in the future (02.04.5 not passed). Varee, voice of Randomness proposes naming the world "Pat the Bob," at which two gods instantly reveal their disapproval.

Following this, a massive portion of the bubble churns as the gods proceed to create a spirit and a corporeal grand dimension. A massive explosion occurs as the gods split the corporeal dimension into two parts linked only for unbound souls, but the worlds they design are still empty. Mildly satisfied with their initial step at creation, they return to their discussion on what to create inside the dimensions. They proceed to discuss the future inhabitants of the worlds, the shapes of the worlds themselves, and their names.

Warning: The spirit realm calculation assumes no sphere alignment.
Warning: So does the corporeal realm calculation
Warning: The smaller number applies only if you decide to host both of the corporeal realms in the same dimension.

02.04.1: Bifurcate corporeal realm (7-0/11) <6-7 (0-1)> [PASSED]
+7 from Valkiss, Azem, Grauel, Fusil, Cim, Anath, Serac
Warning: This proposal applies only if you decided to host both corporeal realms in the same dimension. If you decided to have two separate corporal dimensions instead, this proposal does not apply.
Info: Transferring souls within the same corporeal dimension is an iffy process with some chance of error (but is much cheaper than creating two separate dimensions).

02.04.2: Support creation of a corporeal realm for every god or every pair of gods (1-2/11) <?>
+1 from Anath
-2 from Cim, Serac
Info: There is not currently enough support to calculate this (and calculating it would probably further decrease support).

02.04.3: Support further amendment to Valkiss' proposal (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144651.msg5728887#msg5728887) (2-0/11) <?>
+2 from Fusil, Cim

02.04.4: Support Serac's world model (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144651.msg5729410#msg5729410) (aligned) (1-1/11) <8-10 (8-10>
+1 from Serac

02.04.4.1: Support adding life bringers to Serac's world model (1-0/11) <2-3 (2-3)>
+1 from Serac

02.04.4.2: Support adding wisps to Serac's world model (1-1/11) <1-2 (1-2)>
+1 from Serac

02.04.5: Support focusing on getting a world now and details later (3-0/11) <?>
+3 from Anath, Kli, Fusil

02.04.6: Support toroidal corporeal worlds (1-0/11) <0 (0)>
+1 from Varee

02.05: Support creating godinalized primary races (1-0/11) <2-3 (2-3)>
+1 from Kli
Warning: Assumed up to 300 individuals total

02.06: Support making world ready for construction (aligned) (1-0/11) <0 (0)>

Multiple worlds will not change that. I would say the most finest weapons are weapons, brother, as that is my sphere. No man can outsmart a bullet. The mind is a powerful weapon in its own right, so why not gift it to everyone? Please, brother, drop your sales pitch. Words like "struggle of life" I can hardly squish from my own being, the simply do not fit yours."

Okay, we have created the realms. The next step is to create the planets themselves. We should focus on creating the worlds first, before we start creating creatures to live on them. It is not like we are starving for power.

I think we should create two flat planets, both surrounded by an ocean that falls forever. The first will have a magic sun to create light, and the second will have a ring of glowing water in the sky.

I will create 100 life bringers and 300 hundred wisps myself on the second planet, and we can have a "normal" rain system on the first.

Edit: The second planet will be lush and full of life. Do what you will on the first. The center of the disk will contain a forest of white barked trees, with golden sap flowing through their veins. The sap glows, and so can be seen through the bark. Beyond that forest will be a ring of mountains, difficult to cross for most creatures. Then a great plain, covered in grasses of all kinds, before reaching the ocean at the end of the world.

Any objections or changes?

I agree, we should now focus on forming a sun and land shape for our existing planets before worrying about all these other secondary concerns.

"Sighs"

Truthfully I wouldn't mind that except I'm growing weary of all this waiting. Forming the planets and suns would allow us to at least get started with our own minor projects while the endless debates rage over the larger decisions being made. And maybe if we had something to entertain us all below, these long drawn out debates would seem a tad less tedious.

Besides, it's true that we can always change things up as we go along. At least this way though, things can get started.

Rings are a nice shape. Symmetrical, and yet never ending. Much better then a boring sphere.

Well then, the water need not fall endlessly. At least not down. Because we control gravity, do we not? Or it could fall, then be pulled back up underneath the world to fall again.

And no, the oceans would be large enough for travel and trade. Quite large.

If you wanted to go around the world, water travel is fastest. And much easier then overland travel... And what if you wanted to trade with those who live in the sea? Or collect corals and fish?

Aside from that, we have not made overland travel any more difficult than sea travel. On a flat world, you can only get to the outside ring using the oceans around it, meaning you would require land travel regardless.

Our plan has been refined since my initial creation. As you should know, the current design is 3 million humanoids, half for each corporeal realm."

Spheres allow the people of the planet to cross from one side to the next, without the need to traverse the entire world. It allows for easier movement, more use of your own oceans, and more interaction between the peoples of this world. That would advance almost all of our spheres of influence, with spheres. "

"The shapes of the worlds are not important for me. I can work with anything, so I will let you others make this choice."

"Constellations, I like. You can have my support for them. However, giving mortals magic of their own power can be dangerous and bring needless destruction. (Oppose.) Instead, we should simply have them invoke us and let us decide if they are worthy of the miracles."

Anath frowns. "I Oppose any ban on mortal magics."

So long as it is not too common among the populations, I will lend my support for magic. Also I prefer round worlds and regular suns for the two starter planets at least.

I do think that the night should have special lights. Say, a spinning disk of aurora for one, and several glowing gemstones made of ice for the other? Along with the constellations of course.
As long as the gemstones stayed together, it *should* count as one object.

"Once again, I care not for the night sky. I would like to know more about magic, however I can see it doing no harm except in attempts to replace our sphere with it. As such, I will support it, under the requirement that all magic that intentionally harms another being must invoke the use of a weapon. I would, however, support creating a more concrete system before putting it in place."

Not constellations, but used for magic.
The aurora could involve omens and prophecy, and light, and the gemstones could be home and safety, and cold?

Tick 03.5: A stellar session

The gods continued on their creations, imagining wonderful projects stopped by their limited willingness to consume Essence and the stopping power of the council. A new god of the Light emerged from a particularly bright spot caused by the gods' thoughts, much of it shifting to the topic of stars in a very short time. The council itself has begun accumulating even more proposals (though in a more orderly fashion than during the last tick). As they continued in their individual tasks and discussion, one question lingered in all of their minds: "How do you stop a growing snowball of proposals and bureaucracy?"

With no directly opposing forces, most of us have free reign over an aspect of reality, which can easily lead to chaos as propositions get passed when there are no other options. Therefore, I propose that we raise the required support to pass an unopposed proposal to 60%, just as with opposed ones, with the additional proposal to add a corollary to this rule: this only for proposals presented by deities who do not have a deity of a directly opposite sphere. I, quite obviously, support both. These patches to the rules should also patch the circle by some amount."

"In what way is this circle broken? A well balanced sword swings the best, there seems to be no problem with the current balance of power. I oppose raising the required percentage to 60%, due to the simple fact it would make our opposition nearly meaningless, letting the others run rampant more rather than less. Applying it against most of the deities, save yourself, also disrupts the balance of power, don't you think? There is no reason to fix something that is not broken."

"What I mean by broken circle is that there are no gods of Satiation, Charity, Imbalance, or so on. Some of us do have our opposition, which weakens us. Additionally, remember that opposing a proposition also weakens its ultimate effect on the world, while abstaining does not. My propositions do not make opposition meaningless."

"Look closer, my brother. There are few who could be considered true opposites. You and the Childish Fit-throwing God of Randomness. The newly born Light god and the god of the Night. And, perhaps, the god of honor and the god of treachery, if we are to be lenient. Why set up a role that only effects half of us, and the half you are not on no less? Opposites are not required for balance, you of all people should know that. You don't need the opposite of "tree" or "rock" for a forest to be in balance. Even then, you are giving more power to the words of yourself, taking away from that of the more idea based gods, throwing our current balance off. The opposition weakens the effect only slightly under your rule, as opposed to the greater opposition present already. Again, this would only allow for more unhampered madness.

And you ignore an obvious and easy work around that would lead even this impotent. Do remember that, as a proposition needs half our consent anyway, the likelihood of having one of those gods with an opposite sphere is high. If we simply have them present it, as they would have supported it anyway, the rule would not take effect.

And in the end, why should I surrender even a bit of power for no reason? You don't lose that power. I gain nothing from this. This would make you stronger at my expense, I would be a fool to support it."

"I fail to see how having it be harder to get a proposition through would make it easier. Could you explain this in more detail? I disagree on opposites being unnecessary. To use your analogy, the forest would not be in balance if the trees simply overgrew everywhere and died upright because there wasn't enough resources. Too much rock and nothing could grow. As for the loophole, consider that in that case the proposition would most likely be opposed anyway when disagreement occurs. If every deity was already in agreement or abstaining, you would only have to persuade 6 gods to your side instead of 5, with our current 12. As for giving away power 'for no reason', you call me selfish, but consider this: would you think otherwise if there was a god of Ploughshares? If I cannot persuade you, so be it, but I would like to hear thoughts from the others."

The planing is a part of any construction, the most ficle and easiest to change part. A good idea is to find certain things we can agree on. We all accept that there is a need of at least two worlds and a source of energy for them. We all agree that there is a need of some mortals with some degree of sentience. We disagree on specifics, bt those are details small enough for each of us to solve as we wish on our own. I say that we should each craft a piece of the realms for mortals to inhabit. We could each create a part, or better, several significantly diferent parts and conect them into a place for mortal beings to thrive. As to the form of this place, I would offer a plane without visible end, it would be a square for us, yet the reality would bend around conecting it back to itself to make it look without edges in physical planes. This way, we would not need to create anything infinite, yet the design would allow us to add more to it at any time without disturbing the creation.

Tick 04: Turmoil time

As the first gods began feeling the effects of Essence consumption, some began to worry for their safety with the potential for the passing of proposals designed to harm rivals. Fortunately for those who worried, none of the proposals that managed to pass this tick consumed any Essence. Some saw this time of change as a perfect time to begin directing the creation of pieces of the realms within the recently created dimensions. After creating a sun, moon, and planet in each partition (03.04.1 <43 (3-4)> ), Anath, god of the Night, oversaw the creation of star patterns in the corporeal dimensions around the systems for the purpose of guiding mortals. The GodManager (GM) saw fit to reward this display of initiative (and tact) by releasing any council control over astrological features to the gods themselves. As well, a majority of the gods agreed to grant the mortals soon to be created on the two unnamed worlds free will by default. During this commotion, a god of artistry formed out of the excess creative energy from the efforts of the gods.

The Light, the god of Light, created an enormous, unnamed crab with the ability to spread the knowledge of Light to all during the council's final discussions. Surrounding the enormous, unnamed crab are numerous spirit-based sea gull-shaped manifestations carrying light further. Somewhat unexpectedly, these creations produce light alternating between many bright colors.

Some gods hear whispers once again from the Void, this time slightly recognizable.

While the rest of the Gods argue with each other, Anath turns to the new worlds, and reaches out to both of them. Upon those worlds he weaves the darkness and starlight, mist and moongleam, together, distilling the mix in the gathered morning dew. And from this act he calls forth six hundred night elves, three hundred on each world.

If a proposal has gone without votes for three cycles, or remains at double opposed to supporting for one cycle, it should be removed.

I think we should make worshipers now, especially since you feel they are needed so urgently Fusil. But we do not need three million of one race. I am not certain we could use that much worship... A few hundred from each god should suffice for now. They can expand on their own from there.

And I will create 300 sapient humanoids, with song magic, to populate the oceans of Slytha. They will be able to breathe underwater for several hours, and can only see using echolocation and blood detection, due to their lack of eyes. They are scaled, and have webbed hands and feet, to allow them to swim better.
They live in bubble cities on the seafloor, and they keep the bubbles supplied with fresh air with constant magical humming.

300 lizard folk. Call them Beings of Serac for now.

A follower, especially the first, should be carefully crafted. I am its creator, its father and its handler. This is a deeper relationship than I have even with my godly brothers. Thought should be put into it. Care, love, and attention should be put into it!

First, the spine. I will start with a futuristic weapon, which shal be called the M700. The races on the planet may develop it in time, but my Angel will not be held by such constraints. The rib bones, more firearms. One day, they will be called as a group Pistols. A beating heart, the continuously repeating hammer of one of the firearms.

Now for the head. A different kind of weapon, less precise, but powerful non the less. Explosives. Grenades, shaped like pineapples and spheres and throwing sticks. These weapons are easier to develop, bringing the world into a new era of weapons as they do so. On the top of the human-like head, I place hair of fuses, razor and garrote wire, whips, and other such weaponry, down to its chin. Yes, the hair should be relatively short.

Attached to the spine, I sprout a pair of wings meters wide. They shine with a steely light, thousands of blades, knives, swords, spear heads, bayonets, making up the feathers that compose it. Yes, blades, one of the first creations humanoids can truly call a weapon. Shame stone does not fit into my vision.

I continue to form the angel, carefully placing weaponry along the structure as it continues to take the shape of a human. Rifles for arms, recoiles rifles for legs, knives along the neck bone....yes, in the end you could certainly tell the mass of weapons from all time periods was in the shape of a normal human skeleton. I looked it all over, checking for even the most minor imperfection. Satisfied, I decided on the final touches. All over the body, explosive putty started to form a thin layer. Soon, the weapon skeleton was covered in a pale white skin, from head to toe. Yes, it looked almost like the humanoid gods, save its gender was female. As the skin is created near the center, chains of bullets start to form over it. The bullet belts form a cloth like dress around the form, finishing just as the creation is completed. The hair was died as black as dark powder and made to look like that of a human.

Looking over my creation, I performed one more quality assurance check, fixing any minor flaws. Yes, perfect. I have created my perfect avatar. But it needs look more like whatever we make. For now, I will make it appear as a human. The pale flesh darkens considerably, becoming a regular skin tone. The wings retract with a screeching sound, hiding until called upon. The eyes are given a brownish color, the color of the wood on the handle of the grenade below. To any observer, it would look like a typical being.

But it isn't. It is my first follower. My angel.

There is the sound of a gunshot, the first in this reality. Maybe there will be more, in time. As it goes off, the Angel's eyes opens, seeing Fusil's true form.

"Welcome to this world, Tykki" I greet her with a warm voice, much different from the usual explosion. The soft sound of a weapon returning to its sheath. "I would like to spend more time with my first creation, but the world needs you. Go forth, and spread the knowlage of weapons I have infused you with to the people. Teach them to create swords and spears, spades and other weapons. Teach them how to fight. And teach them how to make metals. When I find the time, I shal take the place of your sword, guiding you on your journey. Until then, remember I will always be with you."

Besides, if they don't accept my teachings, what will they do? They literally wouldn't know a thing about weapons and there is like 1200 total beings in existence. It isn't like they could be the one armed being in existence in a fight, and if they ignore her alone I could always show up.

"An Essence-laden Angel is not necessary if one can get a point across through simpler means."

Cim scribes/creates a number ((as many as I can have for a single point of Essence)) of books, or, well, more alike to pamphlets right now, of silvery pages of a durable but mundane material, with the ability to change their text as the laws and the reader's language do. The laws scribed by Cim are as follows, for now:

• This is the Law of Cim, the Lawgiver.
• In the end, Chaos must not prevail. This should always be your ultimate goal.
• As possible, eliminate or marginalise chaos in your vicinity. Make sure those around you also follow the Law.
• Serve the Gods as they order you, to the intent of the orders.
• Should there ever be a conflict in divine matters, cease your actions unless ordered otherwise. The Gods will decide on the matter among themselves.
• Do not worship anything but the Gods.

Cim doesn't do anything with the books just yet.

Artisanii ejects itself from the Void, and then opens his eyes. He looks around, and then breathes. She looks at the council's rules, and then I smile.

"Hello. I am Artisanii, The Patron. Getting right into business, I am glad that 2.01.a.2 is already passed. I support.. Serac, is it? Serac's World Model, and his wisps. I also like his Plans."

Now after his voting, it decided to wander from the god to study the planets. "I will begin my minor touches on these planets soon enough. In the meantime, I will be here."

"Every one of us having their own followers may lead to large conflicts without some ecumenism. I propose we create grand ecumenical temples containing altars to every god and place them among the beings. We must promote knowledge of all of us in order to prevent chaos.

"I agree with the Lawgiver. Allowing our followers to be aware of the existence and importance of every single one of us would prevent much turmoil. But yes, we must choose the proper time to act."

After saying his part, Kli leaves to plant a seed in an empty valley from each world. Both shall grow to become grand trees almost as tall as a mountain in time (basically World Trees). They will have no magical effect other than to preserve the balance of nature in the surrounding area for the time being.

"Anath, I am not going to create my own followers; I did speak of resorting to more subtle and selfish methods. Why create them when I can convert more than ten times, or most likely more than thirty times, the amount for the same Essence? As a being in a world beyond the Void once said, "there is nothing you can possess that I cannot take away". As for there not being enough beings, you are thinking awfully shortsightedly. The proposition for three million beings created mutually, 03.00, has the required support to be realised next tick."

"I agree with Cim, but we should not do it yet. Still, a great temple for all of us, with shrines and the works of our followers.. ah!" Artisanii sighs. "I feel as it is time for me to make my own mark on these worlds."

They, the Artisanii, leave to create something. She looks on the 2 planets, then inspiration strikes! He rushes to paint his own vision. It will be a single Divine Library, forever stuck in the midpoint. It will contain the Works of all Gods, and all Mortal Works blessed by him.

It is of little use to Mortals besides a thing to look at in the sky, for now.

Artisanii constructs a massive library to contain all divine Works and specified mortal Works successfully in the partition between the two worlds. The council's enforcement ability immediately holds 4 Essence as collateral until Artisanii can justify the illegal construction in a critical region previously reserved for uninterrupted reincarnation and generates a proposal for the trial.

04.02.a: Keep/Permit Artisanii's Divine LIbrary (0-0/13) <-4 (-4)>
04.02.b: Remove/Forbid Artisanii's Divine Library (0-0/13) <0 (0)>

(Artisanii: -9 Essence)

(While it is true that obstructing the partition can disrupt reincarnations, it is also true that those whose reincarnations have been disrupted can end up in the Library, a place where divine Works are stored.)

Tick 04.5: Business below

As a new era dawns on the corporeal realms so lovingly created by the council of gods, various gods, perhaps impatient of council inefficiency,  begin to seed the worlds with their chosen. Anath with dark elves in the Shadowdeep* on both worlds, Serac with his Beings deep in the oceans, Fusil with Tykki, the Angel of Arms, Azem with soaring Mountwyrms*, Kli with his two Trees of Balance, and Artisanii with their Divine Library embedded in the connection between the worlds (through independent initiative). Cim, notably, decides instead to produce thousands of divine codices containing the Law of Cim without immediate deployment.

Suddenly, all the gods hear a sped-up, distorted voice from the Void. All they manage to hear is "Hello,lpjvgdauods.lsqarglad to finally meet yoxoxkkam xgxemwsjkxgwfoimordial scout of Imbalankvvoyvlrriends have kfeeutuznfjqto contact you forfxzqxbde but it always garbles. amolyfdhgojyxwant you to do somehqrnzxuclg them!

"Hm. It seems that my inspiration got in way of my better judgment. What is your opinions on this matter?" Artisanii asks fluidly.

Create the Gruen

Edit Fluff:

From his place above the worlds, Grauel breaths down two small clouds of spores which blow rapidly through space; some landing on both of the planets below.

From the spores spreads a long creeping mass that expands over the ground, growing both up, out and down into the ground. Slowly in the most concentrated areas of growth within the two planets, sprout large dark green stalks that reach up high into the air. Many long sturdy branches grow out from the stalks and from these grow strange dark green plant like men known as the Gruen.
Eventually the first one drops down and looks around at the world curiously... and hungrily.

"Every one of us having their own followers may lead to large conflicts without some ecumenism. I propose we create grand ecumenical temples containing altars to every god and place them among the beings. We must promote knowledge of all of us in order to prevent chaos. Oh, and consider that this will help all of us. If this fails, I may have to resort to more subtle and selfish ways of gaining followers."

I agree, although it might be a bit early. And we should move the Library to the third realm.

I will order my Beings to build a temple inside their cities, with altars for every god (Including space for future gods). The Temple should be made of stone, and bubbles of music will rise out of the altars instead of smoke.

Create 300 golems and send them out to both worlds.

Spoiler: Golem (click to show/hide)

Sentient humanoid creature.
Height 1-3 meters.
Two or four arms and two or four legs.
Made from either clay, stone or metal.
Capable of speech.
Each golem bears one similarity, they all have a large crystal within them, usualy within chest area that contains their mind and soul. Golems do not need to eat, gaining energy from ambient temperature. At 30C the golems would be slugish, far slower than common organic humanoid, a golem would reach the speed of an average humanoid at abaut 100C, maxing out at double organic humanoid speed at 200C. The golems can reproduce by constructing aditional golems from clay stone or metal and inserting a crystal enchanted from already active golem crystal. A single golem could create a lesser golem crystal that would only be able to do simplest of tasks. As more golems added their enchantments to crystal, the inteligence would increase, reaching full sentience after four enchantments. The type of material and crystal used would mostly depend on what is curently in abundance, though golems meant for battle would usualy be made of metal with four arms and four legs.

Not needing food or sex, golems would be free to use their time to pursue other activities. Not being able to move with any sort of speed in most places aboveground, golems would be a peacfull race. Their main hobby would be that of construction, wether for benefit of their own or simply to create grandeur, and sience to satisfy their curiosity and gain them an edge against possible asailants.

Golems are willing to join those of other races in works of construction, sometimes even for free, if materials are provided and the job is for the benefit of many. This serves them both as free practice and a diplomatic gift to improve relationships.

The Light has modified his Luminees to conform with a new USB humanoid standard and to allow cross-bred progeny to carry the multicolored blinking ability for up to about three generations. The limiting factor in cross-breeding at the moment is extremely low population density.

Undervater volcanoes would be able to power them to great speed, with air and food not being a problem, they would be able to add to your project. Yet with 99.9% of population requiring both air and food, building a temple in the ocean is somewhat away from the top of the list of priorities.

Tick 05: Continued creation

The gods continue with their creations in spite of (or perhaps, because of the whispers from the Void. Some notice a small source of eldritch energy emanating from the corporeal dimension, but none profess to know the reason for its existence. A proposal for creating 3 million humanoids has passed (but is not yet executed), The Light has created the Luminees, a humanoid race with USB-level cross-breeding capabilities, Varee deploys hordes of giant ants on both worlds, Grauel has created the Gruen, and Khaziraad forms 300 golems.

In other news, Artisanii's library has been transported into orbit around a currently unspecified planet. Also, Serac has initiated the construction of a pantheon in his Beings' first settlement, and most mortals are aware of the concept of weapons.

New players are still welcome. The earlier you enter, the likely you are to have a significant effect on the future. Especially now, when people are voting on many different things (hopefully).

Current sphere ideas are Trees, Courage, Healing, and Air.

"As for the three million sapient humanoids, we may need to decide on the specifics before creating them together. I say we give them immediately some basic advancements of knowledge, such as agriculture, the wheel, and writing. What do you think?"

Minio-on are large horde of ant like creature that protect their queen, each hive have about 700-800 member and one queen who controls them all. There always two more princess in the hive, one to take over if the queen died and another to go and make new colony, when the queen died the colony is split between the princesses. They are all mentally connected to each other and the queen can see though her minions eye. They have basic social structure with a few castes. ((Generaly like DF antmen.))

Kli spends some of his essence to create 300 giant sapient silver and sky-blue chested hummingbirds, divided equally between the two worlds. He gives them the Trees of Balance as their homes, acting as the trees' guardians and may receive further instruction from him at a later date.

(Kli: -2 Essence)

Flocks of giant silver and sky-blue chested hummingbirds emerge from the Trees of Balance, singing* songs of creation and praises to Kli. They sing of their devotion to maintaining balance before settling down a little and preparing to construct nests high in their respective Trees.

(It's a bit late for having the council do that. The council released control over the creation of 3 million sapients when the proposal passed. You will now have to decide on the specifics through discussion with the others. The only thing it can enforce is that you (pl.) do actually create at least 3 million sapients and not something like 5 million humanoid statues made of jelly rools with council resources.)

Tick 05.5: Developing dimensions

The gods have begun to have some preliminary talk of exactly what to create to meet the 3 million sapients quota. Kli creates a multitude of giant silver and blue-chested hummingbirds and tasks them with guarding the Trees of Balance and maintaining balance. Not much actually happens this half-tick (perhaps aside from fixing numerous errors in Tick 05).

The Light creates a ring of enormous diamonds that reflect and refract sunlight and moonlight in interesting patterns surrounded by a freshwater sea. Should any mortals encounter it, it is likely they will quickly interpret the shifting patterns and colors as revealing the future whether they actually do this or not.

"I agree with him." Artisanii speaks. "We should allow them to have freedom, for what is a story with no conflict? A play with no Drama? Simply giving them the information of us and the inability to be evil or cunning.. is simply wrong for us to do. If at the least the last two are fullfilled, sapience is meaningless." He quickly turns around, looking at Serac. "While I incline to trust you, suddenly full Essence? What have you done? Or is it the lizard men in the deep oceans?"

I agree with the first three plans for the humanoids, but oppose the last two

Anath glances over at the others. "I think we should each make our own share of the humanoids, so that we do not drown out our previous creations with the raw numbers we are about to produce."

Tick 06: Exploration and Expansion

The gods begin serious discussion of the humanoids to be designed by proposal 03.00. The initial discussion assumes the creation of a single humanoid race, but Anath suggests that perhaps each god should instead create for a personal share of the 3 million. The ideas are mostly quite similar, but the details are controversial. The council is, in any case, no longer responsible except to ensure that the Essence pooled by participants not be embezzled. Regarding the intruding denizens of the Void, it appears that clear divisions are forming as some gods clearly do not appreciate the meddling of such strange beings while others are openly curious about it.

In other news, this tick, The Light has created a massive landmark of crystals. ? ? ?, god of humans, has been born from the discussions on humanoids. The whispers from the Void have also grown stronger, louder, and more distinct.

There is an incoming, surprisingly clear transmission from the Void: "Hello, young friends, although everyone is young compared to us the primordials. I am Mgaareecaalwahiisnshyzhrshui, a hadal tiered coronal-born prophet of Earth of liminal alignment with static tendencies. Should any of you wish for well-paid employment or information, you have only to contact us, but understand that I will be unreachable by the next tick, and that my lesser brethren will likely be less able to provide sufficient payment and information."

We have a massive problem with stale proposals, and this is one way of solving that problem. Should we cull proposals that likely will never pass anyway and only serve to make the list of proposals bulkier?

Currently, we do not have a rigorous definition of what requires council approval and what does not. Should we draft a specification of exactly what requires approval? This can potentially weaken or strengthen the council depending on your input for the hypothetical code.

Please remember to bold or underline support or opposition.

The Light denies Anath's proposition, instead it should be general humans. All of them, additionally to that each god gets his own people. If they mix with the generous humans or not is up to them.

Ignoring the Light, Anath turns back to the worlds and unleashes Star Dragons into both of them. This seems to be the season for creating, and he doesn't want his creations to loose the prestige that making them before the mass creation could give them. As well as being the first true dragons born upon the world.

"Yet again the ocean god grows in his power. No doubt he has made some deal with the beings, but for what I wonder? He has claimed not to have spoken to them, if I remember correctly."

"Let us get the creation of the humanoids out of the way, for we have been putting them off far to long. I am fine with dividing the three million among the twelve of us, if that would make things go faster, so long as we get it next tick."

"More importantly, we must look away from these voices. Tell me brothers, when have shadowy whispers in the void promising rewards for strange things ever been beneficial? As such I propose we make a council rule, bringing great pressure on those who would make a deal with the devils. We should look for some way to be rid of them, lest we become tempted into their services. Perhaps the best way to do this would be rendering their powers of creation impotent, making them useless to the shadowy demons. I say we make a council rule: Any being who makes a deal with the void voices has his powers of creating removed for a minimum of three ticks. This should allow a proper reaction, and suitably cripple any impulsive decisions on our part.

No, this is the first I heard of it. I set my followers to work searching for any signs of it, and to attempt to find where it came from. Nothing yet.

And I'm not sure it was from the voices. It could be a separate being entirely.

The questioning messenger. It appeared to have teleported into and out of our dimension, which I imagine would require massive amounts of energy. Some of that power seemed to have be left inside my worshiper, and I thought I could use it myself. Or perhaps it was attempting to control my follower using the power, I cannot know for sure. Either way, the power is now mine.

The Eldrich temple, I have no idea what it meant. Perhaps it was trying to subvert my follower into building one? I do not know enough to be sure.

An elderly Mountwyrm approaches you and greets you warmly. He offers to sell you a lump of gold for the blessing of eternal youth. Then, a young Mountwyrm hatchling glides over and offers to sell you a tooth from the last village elder. Soon, everyone nearby begins crowding around you, attempting to solicit a blessing in exchange for some gold or silver or copper or a trinket or something (supposedly) of great sentimental value.

Azem vanishes and reappears next to the crowd as a floating coin with the face of a Mountwyrm on it. The face moves.

"Greetings mortals. Which one of you is the leader here?"

(Anath: What's the relationship between Star Elves and Night Elves?)

The Night Dragons seem to have settled into their lairs quite nicely. Those who live near the poles tend to hibernate for most of the summer and rise for the winter, and those in anywhere else are nocturnal. Some have already managed to find mates and produce hatchlings, although they will take a long time to grow. They are very devoted to you and the concept of night.

Azem: The elderly Mountwyrm steps forward and offers the lump of gold again, this time, in exchange for a piece of your body.

Azem: The elder gives you the lump of gold and thanks you greatly. It appears that the elder and most of the village want to create a shrine to you that outsiders may come and look at the fragment of Azem in exchange for a generous offering.

Kli: The silver hummingbirds do not appear to be doing much at the moment, but there appear to be a few more dead raptors  and felines than normal at the base of the tree. They do not seem to notice your vision-without-presence. They are quite a devoted people.

"I want to create an infamous weapon. This sword of hard iron is adorned with rubies, sapphires, and diamonds. Its handle is insigned with the signature of the weapon god. Its blade is very sharp and emits a glorious bright light.

See this as a form of diplomacy after our initial trouble. If you are interested to add to the weapon, as you are well versed in the ways of weaponsmithing, just do so."

Azem: The other Mountwyrms look upon the stack of coins and begin requesting trades with you again. With your godly senses, you can immediately tell that a bunch of the supposedly sentimentally valuable items were actually the cheapest things they could find lying around. Many of them want eternal youth and a sizable portion want another chunk of your body.

(The Light: Human-sized sword of that description: Low 3-4 (High 1-2), human-usable sword of that description: Low 2-3 (Low 1-2))

Kli: A random eagle flies above the World 2 Tree of Balance. A massive flock of giant silver hummingbirds flies out and flies back and there is no sign of the eagle in the air or on top of the tree.

Anath: The Night Elves appear to be doing quite well underground, although many of them would not mind living on the surface simply to see the stars of their creator. Almost no one knows of their existence at the moment, because they tend not to go on long surface visits. They still worship you a lot.

Tick 06.5: Gods and gossip

Much creation happened this turn, with Anath's Star Dragons, The Light's glowing mushrooms for the Shadowdeep*, and Azem's Gem Dragons. Even the mortals seemed to become more creative. One village of Mountainwyrms completed a wall of folklore, introducing the first independent invention of writing. A coastal Luminee village decided to begin producing plays, the first transcribed of which was a horror tragedy named Crab-fall recounting myths about creatures with too many angles and a Luminee who traded away his "inner light" to be with a Star Elf and ended up losing her to a mad zealot.

Many gods also interacted or observed their creations closely, definitely strengthening the core of their Worship and also providing entertainment for the other gods. Kli, while checking on his Hummingbirds of Balance, noticed an abundance of raptor and feline corpses around the base of their Tree. His solution to the problem is not yet known. Azem, god of greed, famously sold a piece of his godly manifestation, a gold coin, to a Mountwyrm village elder. Rumors say that if you can find a Mountwyrm city with a circular shrine covered in shiny objects, you can find a 1/8 piece of Azem inside the temple. But not before putting plenty of shinies on the sides of the shrine.

In addition, it appears that a scandal has erupted in which Fusil exposed the fact that Serac acquired an improbable amount of Essence within a tick. Rumors circulate of deals made with shadowy Void Things from beyond the Great Film. While the speculation has died down, it is clear that there is much suspicion about the motives of the recently-ungarbled speech of the Void Nulls. How much less benevolent are they than how they portray themselves?

I disagree with them being smarter that our personal creations. They will have numerical advantage, as well as an advantage of being of interest to all of us. It would require careful moderation of their actions to stop them from claiming the worlds to themselves, undoing our work in the progress.

The Golems have been busy constructing. As of now, they have built a village containing the first free-standing stone structures on a road serendipitously located about halfway between (and reasonably close to) a Luminee settlement and a Mountwyrm village. In their desire to build, they have carved many artifacts, large and small, of various creatures and objects. They have also established the world's largest clay kilns in an effort to match the reproduction of the fleshy races.

Grauel after a bit of thinking addresses the council.

I suppose I will go down and check on my own creations now. We really should finish creating those humanoids though. Keep it simple shall we? Two arms, two legs, typical humanoid body. If we want more complex individuals we can create them ourselves. Let's just get this done.

Grauel goes down and checks on his own creations, offering them a large gift of food to temporarily appease their appetites.

The ravenous Gruen are satisfied temporarily. One speculates that as god of hunger, you may be able to take it away in addition to giving it. This is seen as heresy by others.

Their community in general is actually thriving. They have already discovered agricultural techniques, but they still rely heavily on game and vertical cultivation of a special type of moss on the sides of trees. Most of their villages are located at the boundaries between forest and grassland, and they have not yet attempted to make contact with the outsiders. Some suggest expanding to find more outsiders to consume or trade for products to consume.

The golems learn of the Earth-Blood and its properties. They learn of the influence of silicate content and hydration on metallic abundance, melting range, and mechanical properties. They are now engineering an Earth-Blood well which will, with your blessing, overcome physics and allow the existence of voids under pressure and pray for you to reveal active sources of magma (e.g. volcanoes) to make their work lighter.

(I think you forgot about a chance to build something revealing magma and its properties to the Golems.)

(That's 6 out of 7 (or 8) Essence. Once the quota is met, can it be overcharged? It wouldn't give the humanoids any more power; it would just increase the favour of the god that put it in. If Fusil were to put in 3 Essence right now the race would still be a 7-8 Essence quality species but Fusil would have 1/3 sway due to having 3 Essence in a 9 Essence pool whereas the other gods have less than that for putting in <=2 Essence. If that's the case you will want to put in as much as essence as you can to gain the maximum amount of favour with the God of Humans. Another case for this system is that some of the gods haven't put in Essence because their players aren't online.)

Grauel looks at Azem with the appearance of giving the proposal deep thought.
I certainly agree that we do have an interesting amount in common depending on how one interprets the spheres of greed and hunger.

Tick 07: Humanoids and hearths

Discussion of the 3 million mortals to be created by proposal 03.00 is reaching an end as the gods discuss and donate to the 03.00 pool to influence the final details of what to create. A few prominent details are immediately obvious regarding the creations. Most of the gods have agreed to create humanoids for most if not all of the mortals, and free will is guaranteed. What is less certain is the exact pattern of deployment and the mechanism of reaching consensus the players will use without the council. Many of the gods worry that the sudden influx of 3 million will cause problems for the existing total of 7 thousand or so sapients on both planets.

The first races created continue to thrive. Mountwyrms Azem visited appear to have created the world's first tourist trap. Khaziraad's Golems continue to produce a plethora of goods and have started a mission to create a tunnel deep enough to find magma, the coveted Earth-Blood. The inhabitants of the village in which The Light's Luminees created the first play have terrifying nightmares of impossibly shaped creatures, which inspires many to rehearse horror plays.

The whispers from the Void appear to have subsided to some extent despite a noticeable increase in the level of cosmic eldritch background radiation. There are no clear culprits for this change.

The Devourer* blinks into a Gruen settlement, reflecting the glory of Grauel and Hunger. It stimulates hunger in the Gruen, which they take to be a sign of the coming of Grauel, and drives them to consume wood. This will eventually have the side-effect of hardening their skin and allowing the growth of proper thorns while still leaving them fairly flexible.

Azem guides a Mountwyrm trade mission on world A to the Gruen.

The Mountwyrm trade mission reaches a Gruen settlement which fortunately, happens not to have been recently visited by the Devourer*. The Mountwyrms display many gems and metal trinkets, and the Gruen, sternly advised by Grauel not to eat the traders, take out many intricate wood carvings and exceptionally shaped stones and bone crafts. They also offer strips of a weird moss unfamiliar to the Mountwyrms. This is the world's first trade show, and it will enter Mountwyrm lore as the time of Second Creation.

Azem floats nearby as a ghostly coin, watching the Gruen with interest.

(Whole or chipped? ;))

There is much commotion as the entire village of Gruen flock to the hastily arranged Mountwyrm bazaar. The Mountwyrms quickly buy up many of the Gruen's available items and begin raising prices as a reaction to the demand and decreasing supply of their metallic goods. The Gruen, similarly crafty, buy up most of the Mountwyrms' food in exchange for tacky goods exotic even to themselves.

The whispers from the Void appear to have subsided to some extent despite a noticeable increase in the level of cosmic eldritch background radiation. There are no clear culprits for this change.

"Come now, you cannot think that your jump in essence could go unexplained? You have no true mortal followers, aside from a small amount of unintelligent and half intelligent animals, and have done no apparent work in spreading your sphere to the world. If you did not consult the shadows, where did these four points of essence come from?"

Anath too turns his hands to creating livestock, creating giant peaceful lizards that live beneath the surface of the earth, feasting on fungus, moss, and carrion, to serve both as mounts and food sources for his elven followers. These Cave Noxen will be quite useful for any species that lived within the earth.

But deeper beneath the earth Anath crafts another species, the Burrowers Beneath. These great centipede-worms are vast in length, and feast upon rock and soil, carving out tunnels beneath the earth. As the ages go past, and they dig their way through the earth, the tunnels they leave behind will be populated by other creatures... (Anath will also give the Burrowers Beneath one essence's worth of resistance to magic.)

Anath then glances out at the others. "Are we really claiming that the god of randomness could not have something random happen to him? That none of our creations have found chaos to be a factor in their life? Though I am surprised he hasn't taught the Mountwyrms how to gamble yet."

"Ah yes, the god of the night. Have you been paying close attention to the skies? You also appear to have gotten up a boost on tick 7, even with your creations on that turn. 3 essance, if my math is correct. Perhaps I am paranoid, you do have followers that make a reasonable source of power, and your sphere is very prominent. But would it be wrong to say you are only defending him as you have also consorted with the demons? Perhaps they made you create something in the sky in return for power? No, I would say his spike comes from out of our realm. Why not search the skies yourself, reporting the source of this radiation or any other eldrich activity?

Forgive me for being off base. I realize that I myself have gotten a small amount of energy after actively promoting weapons. But I do believe you could sweep the skies, proving the Random God's innocence or guilt. We have no facts, and little information. With what we can provide, Varee voted against the punishment for those who spoke with the voices, received a mysterious spike, and now there is mysterious radiation. Accusing you was my paranoia talking, accusing him is simple logic."

"As for the god of order, you first dropped, and are stable rather than spiking. Varee has stated clearly that he has not, in fact, made any in secret. Unless he is lying to the council, he is in a different boat.

Anath shakes his head at this indication of either ignorance or foolishness. "No. The signs in the sky were created by the gods. None of them are directly associated with any kind of magic in particular, besides how all of them are self evidently connected to the magic of the stars. If there is a sky thing associated with Eldritch stuff, it is because someone made it."

Haha, actually most of that seems less uncommon in the God business than you would make it out to be but I digress. The only crime I see in consorting with them is that we do not know what true intentions they may have and what harm they might pose, yet. Truthfully I would think the most wise course of action would simply be to find out manners of protecting ourselves and our creations against harmful influences. Otherwise I fear you may never escape the paranoia that someone is consorting with them anytime anything strange happens.

They return to the village and announce the Great Architect's boon of glassy Earth-Blood. The village chief sends a team with buckets of water to collect flash-cooled samples.

Kli frowns and asks the other Hummingbirds to carry the fledgling to him. He directs them to the spot where the fledgeling has fallen.

Tick 07.5: Impatience and independence

Donations for the upcoming mortal creation project, stored by the council, have reached 13 Essence. While this may seem like a lot, it will likely leave some gods unhappy unless they can protoype freely. It is not yet clear what will happen as a result of that.

Grauel has created an unnamed Angel of Hunger! It has begun a campaign of inducing a village of Gruen to experience psychological hunger without actual hunger, which has led to the desperate consumption of trees. This was later discovered to toughen Gruen skin and allow the growth of significant thorns. In another place, The Light has raised a great Prophet to spread law, social order, writing, and justice. Kli has appeared to the Hummingbirds of Balance, and, subverting expectations, they seem rather unbalanced at the moment. This is somewhat remedied by their obvious care for a fallen fledgling, whom Kli rescued and healed. Varee has invented animal husbandry by supplying his Minio-ons with Flea-on giant aphids, which Anath followed up by creating Cave Noxen, a massive, pale reptilian species excellent for riding and food, and the Burrowers Beneath, a vermine tunneler deeper than any mortal has dared to go. Khaziraad's Golems have discovered a planet-puncture created and maintained by Khaziraad himself containing a continuous stream of glassy magma, and Azem has helped a random young gem dragon with obtaining a sufficiently large hoard to attract a mate. The Light has tried (unsuccessfully) to convert a few Night Elves. Some of the Elves speculate that such bright lights can only come from the Void.

Meanwhile, a Mountwyrm trade mission has successfully established cordial relations and a trade route between Mountwyrm and Gruen villages. Some Gruen join the traders on their way back to their village in search of adventure, shinies, and, most of all, exotic food.

There has been much discussion about the influence of the Void this half-tick. Suspicions are high, but the whispers from the Void seem to have quieted down.

Kli smiles once more, and addresses every single one of the Hummingbirds.

He tells them that he understands their concerns; they wish to always feel the freedom of having the wind under their wings, to grow and spread themselves throughout the world, to never have their lives run short, and more.

He pauses, then asks them what the meaning of Balance is.

He makes sure that his tone of voice is not scolding, but rather like an eager teacher seeking responses from his own students.

You're allowed to give them whatever you want so long as it's reasonable and you donate Essence.

Also, The Light has not donated, but to be fair, donation is not mandatory.

You send a severe drought to the Luminee villages. A few dozen die and those who are alive pray to you for help. Their work ethic and Worship Quality has been strengthened.

Last but not least for this Tick, Artisanii creates a statue of himself somewhere in the mountains. It is adorned plainly, but it contains a few books from the Divine Library. This is his shrine.

She also creates a small group of 30 humanoids named the Muses.


Fluff for the Muses:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 30 Humanoids who are extremely Hardy and have full sentience and sapience. They know of me, and communicate with me through art. They live a life of creating Works for themselves and Artisanii, adorning the Shrine to look better and glorify Artisanii better. The Muses live general long lives, but they almost never stray from the Shrine and their homes.

In a nutshell, The Muses are hard to kill, long living, humanoids tasked with taking care of Artisanii's shrine and glorifying Artisanii by adding more to it. They have Free Will, but they have only one sin: Damage the Shrine in any way. If this happens, the one responsible will be punished harshly by Artisanii.

Post by: Kilojoule Proton on October 18, 2014, 04:34:19 pm

(Artisanii: -1 for the shrine, but on which world?)

(Artisanii: -4 for the Muses)

You create a statue of a brain flanked by the two masks of drama and 30 poweful, differentiated Muses. Immediately upon creation, they each begin to specialize in a different method of producing art. Some day, they (and you, in turn) will be revered as divine inspirations responsible for causing the production of art everywhere.

(Note: The Muses are essentially angels both in function and cost. The difference at this point is mostly in the name.)

Tick 08: Juggling the jobs

This tick marks the time of a few more discoveries and innovations by the mortals, pushed along by their creators. The Hummingbirds have, under Kli, begun learning about exactly what the god of balance's idea of balance really is. The Light has sent a drought to the Luminees, killing several dozen but strengthening the rest's devotion or independence from divine intervention. Azem has expanded and enhanced a few golden silk orb-weavers, expending some Essence to bend the relevant physical requirements for spider survival. Artisanii has created an impressive statue and shrine and a small team of Muses to inspire the world's artists and improve their shrine. The Void background radiation seems to have decreased once again for unknown causes.

As it has for quite a few ticks, the end of the mortal project seems so close and yet so far. As of now, all but one of the gods have donated some additional Essence for the cause. They will likely be able to prototype quite a few additional races to meet the 3 million mortal requirement.

(Also, I'll try compiling a list of the worlds' features later.)

Quote from: Ambidextrous on October 18, 2014, 05:18:27 am

Kli smiles once more, and addresses every single one of the Hummingbirds.

He tells them that he understands their concerns; they wish to always feel the freedom of having the wind under their wings, to grow and spread themselves throughout the world, to never have their lives run short, and more.

He pauses, then asks them what the meaning of Balance is.

He makes sure that his tone of voice is not scolding, but rather like an eager teacher seeking responses from his own students.

A young Hummingbird: "To always get what you want!"
Another young Hummingbird: "When this tree isn't falling?"
A Hummingbird: "When we attack claw-birds for wanting to eat us?"
An elderly Hummingbird: "To be brave enough to accept death as a necessary part of the cycle."
Another Hummingbird: "Standing on one foot?"
Yet another Hummingbird: "When we sacrifice something to get something else or the other way around?"
Still another Hummingbird: "When we fly in place like no lesser bird can?"

How do you respond?

Kli chuckles softly.
He tells them that out of their many answers, only two are close to the essence of the answer.
He affirms that Balance is everything working together in harmony; which does include accepting death as necessary. From death comes new life, he explains. Only from the remains of the fallen can the seeds of the earth grow into new trees and plants. Only can there be room for fledglings to test their wings when those whose time has ran out can have their peace.
He reminds them that that does not mean that Balance cannot only be found with death, life and death must coexist together equally. That is the core of Balance; coexisting together in life equally.
He also states that Balance must be maintained, in order to achieve something, one must give up something of equal meaning and worth. Such is the nature of Sacrifice; to fly, one needs to sacrifice their energy. To stop hostile claw-birds from attacking your flock, one needs to sacrifice their time and some of their help to defend themselves.
Kli warmly praises the two Hummingbirds who gave these answers. After, he warmly addresses the other Hummingbirds, saying that while their answers were not very close to the nature of Balance, they were still of importance.
Kli allows his words to sink in for a moment, before saying that while he is a god, he cannot help them with all of their problems at all times; he may not be available should danger lurk from beyond. Therefore, as both a gift and a responsibility, he will grant them the ability to solve most of their problems themselves.

Before they can ask him what his words mean, Kli attunes the entire race of Hummingbirds on both worlds, as well as their future offspring, to Musical and Divine magic.

It appears that a few months ago, a talking shiny came to them with a box, offering to play a game. They had to place shinies in the box, and if it was closest to a number the shiny chose, they would get their wishes answered. If it was exactly the same, the wishes would be answered as the wisher intended. Six Mountwyrms won by being unable to put anything in the box (for so many were the shinies in the box) and a few wished for shinies, so the talking shiny made the entire village and its air shiny (expecting it to last only a day or a few hours), but, fueled by the Belief in the village, the glittery effects lasted an entire week. The village rejoiced and spread the news, and many Mountwyrms and disciples of Greed came from miles around to pay to see the once-shiny village.

Kli scans the flock of (probably) confused Hummingbirds, and gives them a brief explanation of the gift he had placed on them. He tells them that he had taken note of their devotion to Balance, as well as their love for birdsong. Thus, he has given them the ability to do almost anything with magical song and faith to Kli. This may not be strong enough to grant immortality or eternal flight in the air without serious Sacrifice, however, it certainly could severely lengthen their lifespan, their flight, and may even allow the growth of more tall trees for them to nest in should they combine their collective strength. He tells them that they should experiment with the possibilities.

Kli reveals that there are many other sapient creatures scattered throughout the world, and that they will seem strange or different to the Hummingbirds. He assures them that they are still worthy of respect and tolerance; as while they do not believe in Balance, they still a part of it. Only fight for survival or self-defence, he reminds them. Perhaps in time, you may be able to let them understand the importance of Balance and Sacrifice.

However, he tells them to worry about this later. At the moment, there are more pressing matters to attend to.
As he directs their attention to the fledgling who still cannot fly due to his injury, Kli requests them to sing a song of flight and healing, heavily stressing his intention of asking them to test their new magic to heal the fledgling. If their collective song still isn't enough to heal the fledgling, Kli adds a small portion of his power to the song.

The bones broken during the fall repair themselves over the space of a few seconds, and the birds rejoice as the fledgling learns how to fly, assisted in part by the instructional song of flight. The Hummingbirds promise to live by your teachings and to uphold Balance wherever they go. As they return to their duties and nests to begin planning for an exploratory voyage to spread your teachings, you feel a substantial increase in their Worship Quality.

Kli: One Hummingbird party makes contact with a small village of Luminees. They exchange greetings and discuss their creators and homes. A few Luminees seem interested in your teachings just as a few Hummingbirds are interested in The Light's. The Luminees are surprised to hear that they live so close to a wonder made directly by a god (the local Tree of Balance) and express their interest in visiting it. Of course, the Luminees cannot fly. What should this party of Hummingbirds do?

Two other Hummingbird parties find suitable clusters of magically reactive tall trees. They unpack and begin singing a song of growth and strength. Their intense Belief combined with the magical reactivity of the trees actually allows them to grow in the span of a few minutes to more comfortable sizes. Both parties send messengers back to their home trees to spread the news and the rest spend the next few days constructing nests around the tree. Although there are no convenient flower-filled clearings, this region of forest contains enough nectar-producing trees to sustain a few families of Hummingbirds.

The last Hummingbird party has reached the coastline but still has not found any sign of civilization or sufficiently tall and reactive trees. What should they do?

(Also, I just noticed that there isn't a language barrier between or inside any of the races. It's probably not a big deal anyway.)

The Luminees are carried back to the local Tree to meet the main assembly of Hummingbirds. They exchange stories, food, and rumors over the course of a few days, and some Luminees ask to stay with the Hummingbirds. A few more Hummingbirds wishing to stay with the Luminees for a time return the remainder of the Luminees back to their village. Life for the Luminees at the Tree of Balance is rather difficult.

The empty-handed party returns to their Tree--an easy feat, considering the fact that they basically flew in a straight line--and report on the shores and the salty water and the soft ground. They explain the need for some method of recording a flight path for complex routes in the future, and many villagers discuss different solutions to the problem. The recently returned party describes a tree with long yellow fruit with broad, flat leaves and proposes puncturing holes in the leaves to mark landmarks.

Quote from: Vgray on October 19, 2014, 04:48:15 am

"Hm. I do believe I business to attend to. Farewell."

Azem finds the nearest Mountwyrm trade caravan and guides them to the Tree of Balance.

(I don't even remember which world the Piece of Eight is on, if it was ever even defined.)

The Mountwyrms trade caravan sends two scouts to fly over the forest surrounding the Tree of Balance to plot a practical course. Some hungry Gruen sample various fruits, and the caravan holds multiple fruit-based feasts for the five days it takes for the scouts to return. They continue on their journey and eventually arrive at the base of the Tree and are greeted warmly by the Hummingbirds. The caravan proceeds to set up shop at the base of the Tree, hoping to see what crafts and goods the Hummingbirds produce.

(I guess you could define it now if you liked. You could even say both, although it might make more sense to specify one.)

Artisanii checks on how his Muses are doing.

The Muses seem to be carving icons, forging trinkets, painting cliffs, sculpting rocky outcrops, weaving clothing, cutting tiles, firing pots, engraving clay, playing games where they pretend to be gods, polishing the statue/shrine, rehearsing comedies, and various other creative pursuits. They are not the most organized race, but they do produce a lot of interesting works.

Kli inspires the Hummingbirds to try to use their songs to grow the Trees' branches to become large enough to serve as platforms for the Luminees and any future visitors.

The Hummingbirds' crafts are mostly created via their magic; including cases of sweet nectar, various wooden-basket like objects, and other random things they may have created with experimentation.

Kli continues to watch the Hummingbirds come to an agreement on their discussions.

Kli and Azem: Furious trading continues in the makeshift marketplace as it seems that the Gruen traders enjoy the nectar more than even the Hummingbirds themselves. Many shinies exchange possession, and an enterprising Hummingbird buys the services of a Mountwyrm potter in an attempt to replicate the heavy but elegant bowls/stone nests the caravan brought on a more usable scale. The Mountwyrms are particularly curious about the construction methods of the intricately detailed Hummingbird baskets and commission a Hummingbird singer-basketweaver to weave custom baskets. There is some exchange of people, mostly with Hummingbirds wanting to join the caravan to see foreign villages.

Tick 08.5:

This halftick has introduced much trade and sleepiness. I will try to finish this summary section later today if it is even necessary or helpful.

Interesting events this half-tick include a Mountwyrm village that started glowing after some wishes, Kli teaching his two groups of Hummingbirds the meaning of balance in person simultaneously and leading them to explore, a gem dragon trading away divine treasure for bulkier shinies and Azem providing a way to lift it all, the discovery of an underwater variety or rice by the Beings(/Ritan?), the arrival of a Mountwyrm caravan at a Tree of Balance and intense trading, and some Hummingbird colonization. The Void has gotten very quiet now, and the cosmic eldritch background radiation seems to have reached a minimum.

Artisanii talks to the Muses.

"Hello, Artists. I have a job for you. Finish the last touches to the shrine; finish drying your paints and carve your last statues. I want you to scatter across the lands, to inspire and create similar shrines and works. The Muses who specialize in Masonry and Engraving, go to the Mountainwyrms. To the Directors out there creating Comedies and Dramas, go to the Luminee's. The singers, search for the Trees of Balance. The Painters, scatter fully across the land to where there is no races."

Grauel: The Devourer commands a few villages to prepare a suitable meal for the god of Hunger himself. They begin to harvest their special moss, grind some bark, and kill and butcher some animals and even a Gruen. The priests of Grauel carry their portions of the Divine Stew* to the largest village and clean the Throne of Consumption* in preparation for Grauel's arrival.

Artisanii: The Muses mourn their dispersion and the coming loss of their friends for three nights, but do as you tell them. The builders begin traveling to the nearest Mountwyrm village, the playwrights and actors/actresses set out for the nearest Luminee settlement, the singers make for the Tree of Balance on World 2, and the painters scatter throughout the lands. Their initial works after settling down are plaintive and tragic, but as they become accustomed to their new conditions, they begin to express the whole spectrum of artistic emotion.

(The Light: -0 Essence)
The Hummingbirds and Luminees are enthralled by the large, glowing gem, and they decide to place it near the bottom, where it will be most helpful for anyone wandering out at night near such a dense tree in a dense forest. It becomes the center of story-telling for those living around the Tree.

(Is that caravan still going? It could be a good opportunity to introduce weapons to the world more naturally. All of the following only happens if it is allowed and would cost 0 essence to do so. Otherwise, the events go on only inside Fusil's head as he makes a plan.)

I look down at the traveling caravan, representing several of the gods interest. Trade brings people together and spread ideas, no doubt weapons should be inspired along this trip. Adding arms to this caravan would be perfect.

Looking around their path, I find a massive bear, at least twice the size of the traders, powerful enough to even provide a threat to the strongest among them. Subtly, I direct this beast to the path ahead of them. As the caravan approaches, the bear goes to its full high, looking even larger under my influence, appearing to dwarf even the trees around it. It gives off a roar as it goes on all fours, charging the hopefully frightened traders. However, before it even makes half the distance, a nearby tree snaps under my influence and falls directly into his path, tip first. Again under my influence, the massive momentum of the beast drives the tree strieght through his heart like a spear, leaving him stuck against it. I make his massive teeth and claws shine in the light, an incentive to take them from the corpse. If all goes well, this should show them the danger of the road, and show them how to effectively defend themselves. It should also give them claws and teeth of the mighty bear to form some form of weapon with, hopefully trading some at the next destination.

I have recently exhausted much of my energy to bring forth the Devourer to lead you, but in time I shall give you all the ability to eat larger quantities and more diverse types of food. For now though, take this as a reward for your service.

Grauel increases the hunger in those two who want it and allows the Fifth Priest to digest more types of food. He then slides back over to the empty offering bowl and leaves some of his saliva behind.

Turning to the Sixth Priest.
I do not enjoy consuming those who serve me loyally. There are far better ways for one as devoted as yourself to feed me than being made into stew.

And you. Grauel turns to the Third priest.
If you want that kind of power, you must do far more to earn it. Let me show all my truth.
Grauel gives an internal revelation to all the priests talking. He shows them the potential of the Gruen and how if they eat enough they can gain considerably more power and longevity.

Continue to serve. Help the Devourer to bring about a New Age for the Gruen. Increase your numbers and find more food to sate both my hunger and your own.

"I desire a grand temple to be built in my name. I shall leave the specifics to you. I also have a gift for you."

Azem attunes Alprozem to Divine magic with suitable theatrics.

"Simply believe in me, and you will be able to preform miracles. Oh, and, let the Gruen have their own altar or something if they so desire."

(Fusil: -0 Essence (Butterfly Method))

Fusil: The caravan watches the bear and the merchants begin discussing how expensive bear-crafts and bear-meat could be. They take out knives and begin to skin the bear, cut its meat, take its teeth for further crafting, and remove the larger bones for carving. Little remains of the bear after they are done. While they are quite safe, their defensiveness against unwelcome intruders increases. Later, they will learn that war is good for business and that those too fearful to trade during a war miss out on an opportunity to sell goods at inflated prices (caused in part by said fearful traders themselves).

(Grauel: -0 Essence (Belief))
Grauel: The priests are taken by a fey mood!

They begin planning for an Experiment Feast* in which the most ravenous of the Gruen will elect to eat only a certain kind of food for a month and see the results. They immediately begin discussing things to bring to the Feast. Among the things they list are bog iron chunks, leaves, rocks, dirt, bone, eggs, metal lumps, slightly sharpened metal, the flesh of traders, the grassland grass, the grassland shrubbery, regular moss, and various mushrooms.

Azem: "Thank you Lord! This will surely help me finally get a mate I mean spread your worship! I will make sure your temple is made of shininess itself! And I guess the Gruen can have an altar in it as long as they don't eat my scale cleaners."

Azem chuckles.

"I leave you to your duties." He says, before vanishing, but still keeping an eye on the dragon.

Azem creates a second blessed Piece of Eight and makes it fall from the sky in the vicinity of the mountains on world B. He also attunes all his creations to Celestial magic.

Khaziraad apears among golems in a form of a small (by castle standarts, so 5m) walking castle/humanoid.

(Azem: -4 Essence)

Azem: You create a second blessed Piece of Eight and send it to some mountains on world B, where it is found by a gem dragon. You also attune all your creations to Celestial magic. The gem dragon sets up a shrine to the Piece of Eight in her lair, and hires some guards for her hoard and some wanderers to spread the news of Azem's manifestation.

Khaziraad: You appear to the golems as a large, castle-themed figure. They recognize you instantly and show off their latest creations to you. Among the creations they show are a set of exceptionally detailed dolls, finely crafted drums, masterfully shaped flutes, clay polyhedra, and obsidian blades. An important-looking ceramic golem reports on the many uses for the Well, which has more than doubled the rate of golem production.

Teach the Ritan how plants need energy to grow, and most plants use energy from objects high above the planet. Then create fruit trees that can live underwater and gain energy from deep underground.

Title: Re: Ye Gods [13/∞] Game Thread/IC (Started and still recruiting)
Post by: Kilojoule Proton on October 19, 2014, 05:25:47 pm

Serac: You teach the Ritan that plants need an inaudible, odorless, tasteless, pulseless source of energy to grow and that it is unavailable below the surface. They are amazed by the existence of the energy and the massive object that produces so much of it and wish they had some way of hearing or smelling it.

(Serac: -1 Essence)

You create fruit trees capable of surviving deep on the ocean floor that survive solely on energy sources from below the ground. They are also particularly well-adapted to hydrothermal vents, of which there are some on the outskirts of many of their villages.

Lets see how the Muses are doing, scattered. Have they started creating new shrines to Artisanii?

Appear to the most devoted in a vision, as well.

Post by: Kilojoule Proton on October 19, 2014, 05:57:48 pm

(Serac: -1 Essence (partial Belief offset))

Serac: You give the gift of monochromatic vision to the Ritan with a peak sensitivity at around 450nm (blue-violet) and the changes required for vision after development. Until some decide to approach the surface again, the only ones likely to realize the change are those near bioluminescent creatures.

Artisanii: There are now a few Museums* scattered in various villages. They house the most emotionally effective creations of not only the Muses but also the local artists. You inspire the most devoted to continue to do well in their mission to spread culture and creation to mortals.

Well, I was hoping for them to be able to see all energies, but only from sources. So, a person would glow because of thermal energy, but not the light refecting off of them.
They could also see the energy produced by magical sources if possible...

(Saying energy was just a roundabout, in-character way of describing that plants require light to photosynthesize. As I recall, the Ritan are blind from not needing to be able to see at the depths where they live. Would you like this infravision or more modifications too?)

Tick 09: Loads of learning

This tick, like a few before it, has resulted in much advancement for the mortals. Grauel consumed a Divine Stew in a sacred ritual and granted the wishes of a few of his followers, Artisanii dispersed the Muses to maximize their inspiration, The Light created a light for the Tree-living Luminee, Azem commissioned an opulent temple from Alprozem, a possible prophet, and created another Piece of Eight, Fusil promoted the use of weapons, the Gruen become more adaptable and voracious, Khaziraad, maifests to golems, Serac grants the Ritan/Beings vision, and Kli starts an oral literary tradition for the Hummingbirds. Intervention is still high, but the mortals are starting to understand their own needs and wants and ways of fulfilling them.

It was never stated that it required council approval either; although if it appears to be a problem, making such a rule might be an idea worth proposing in the future. That being said, taking it and redistributing it, while potentially worth consideration is likely something that might very well kill them. That also should be taken into account.

Kli continues to watch the Hummingbirds' civilisation develop.

The Hummingbirds begin colonizing other trees, breeding more quickly to fill the gaps. They develop an unparalleled oral tradition of songs, stories, spells, and sites coupled to the close trade relations with the Luminees, Mountwyrms, and Gruen. Although the novelty of their goods eventually declines, the demand for almost impossibly well-weaved wicker products remains strong, leading many to hire themselves out as singer-woodweavers.

The golems immediately put this terraforming to good use by flattening out long strips of land connecting villages to create the first large-scale, deliberate roads. The roads further increase trade volume passing through golem settlements, and slowly, golems become known not only as brokers of trade everywhere but also as excellent engineers. They will eventually pave them with rhyolitic rock generated from their Well, further expanding trade.

The Ritan follow you and see, for the first time, the photic zone bathed in light. They are so deeply moved at the sight (and the concept of sight itself) that many just stand still, transfixed by the appearance of previously unperceptible* sights. Their brains rapidly work to associate visual shapes with the crude auditory shadows they had previously used as a primary form of perception.

Azem checks on the progress, if any, of the Mountwyrms and Gem Dragons.

Some Mountwyrms on World 1 are calling out to Varee to grant them all the Eyes of the Shiny One. This business is, frankly enough getting incredibly silly, and they may need a few reminders of what actual greed is. It is also distracting Mountwyrm workers from continuing work on Alprozem's temple of Azem (and his impressively shiny scales).

A prominent Mountwyrm family managing caravans has managed to hire a few Gem Dragons as a cross between beasts of burden and traveling salesmen. They absorb several local competitors but remain relatively unknown outside their region of operation. Having Gem Dragons in air-based and ground-based caravans proves to be a significant advantage because they are closely tied to luck and prosperity in the cultures of many of their customers.

(OK. Perhaps the previously described caravan set up shop on the surface near an elven settlement, in that case.)

The Hummingbirds and Mountwyrms are impressed by the metallic star maps, albeit for different reasons. The Hummingbirds see them as valuable for navigation using the stars, while the Mountwyrms are more interested in predicting good trade days based on the stars. Some Gruen in the trade mission buy bulk quantities of raw ores in exchange for a feast with Gruen cuisine. A Luminee acting troupe attached to the trade mission performs a famous tragedy to much acclaim, and a few Star Elves join the caravan for the specific reason of joining the troupe.

He tells them that a great wrong has recently been done to them (he does not specify who is at fault), but instructs them that when they arise from the ocean once more, the Hummingbirds must make sure to keep the Balance and maintain should they seek vengence.

As Kli senses their dispute, he sends them another vision; stating several gods have already brought about the vengeance. If they ask him what the gods brought about he quietly tells them to ask for rumors about drought-causing scales. He calmly asks them to prevent further bloodshed as Balance has already been kept, and simply needs to be maintained.

Tick 09.5: Mounds of mortals?

Two sleeping gods have, at some point in the previous tick, been drained of most of their Essence! This is deeply disturbing to many of the gods, and it is quite clear that there was no Void interference in this matter. The gods or mortals responsible have yet to be found, for no one would ever want to confess to doing such a dangerous deed.

Serac has created island turtles and the Sorae, a race of seafaring avians, on World 1 (which is still unnamed) to be the reincarnation partner of the Ritan on World 2. Hundreds of waitlisted souls suddenly jump into the newly created Sorae. He also leads a group of Ritan to the surface, which will later prove to be a horrible mistake as a lost, desperate caravan kills two in an attempt to collect their scales. Serac later sends storms after the caravan and curses their scales to bring drought wherever they are. Azem also scatters their shinies over a large area. Kli, however, maintains his composure and is rewarded for his efforts after the Hummingbirds spontaneously create a School of Balance.

The Hummingbirds under Kli have lately been blessed with a higher birth rate. They have also been guided toward maintaining a strong oral tradition, which keeps them close to Kli's words even centuries later.

Varee has spawned several thousand nightmare-inducing ghosts on both worlds, causing a notable increase in the production of horror works.

Anath has produced an asteroid belt for each world outside their planets' orbits and manipulated a caravan into making contact with a settlement of Star Elves. This successfully leads to trading and cultural exchange, and both sides walk away richer in culture and wealth than before.

Azem's temple, despite delays, has been completed. Following complaints from its Alprozem, its guardian and custodian, Azem borrowed gold shinies from the region for Alprozem's hoard, probably in an attempt to pacify him after more of his failed attempts to locate another dragon. Azem left lumps of silver and notes where the golden shinies used to be, and in doing so, forced the nearby villagers to rely on a fiat system of sorts, thus inventing currency.

The Light has sent Yuvi*, the giant, multi-colored blinking crab, to the corporeal world and given a glowing armor set with his teachings inscribed to the Ritan.

The Muses have begun to celebrate the bittersweet last days of their presence in mortal territory.

A few gods have expanded the magical systems. Khaziraad has revealed an expensive terraforming spell to the golems, allowing them to shape the land as they see fit. The most immediate application they find for this is creating roads connecting important trade route stops. Serac has taught a song of luminescence to the Ritan, which they immediately use to light their villages.

The gods have finally decided to act on the increasingly stale proposal 03.00. It seems that they will split the number evenly among themselves and create to fill the gap using the fairly generous donations given over the last few ticks.

Kli guides the Hummingbirds to expand the School of Balance; letting them use it to teach each other about his own teachings on Balance and Sacrifice, as well as other ideas. He allows them to open it to other races, so they may also get a taste of Balance.

Kli also checks on the Hummingbirds who had established contact with the Ritan.

Kli: The Hummingbirds expand their School to other races and increase their focus on Sacrifice. Within the space of a century, the School produces a dozen or so philosophers everyone will remember for ages. As for the scout team intended to establish contact with the Ritan, the meeting is tense, and the Ritan ready their sharp rocks, despite the Hummingbirds' lack of visible weapons.

Luminee: The Luminee realize just how useful the plants in the surrounding grasslands are and begin deliberately growing them. Posting guards at night has the interesting effect of allowing the closest plants to grow faster from having more light.

The Luminee actually already know about tools and even weapons. They thank you for the knowledge and go back to what they were doing.

(If the scales go back to the ocean, I imagine the worst that would probably happen is that it would stop raining in a large circle around the scales. Maybe the water would get a bit saltier too.)

I suppose that I should support this now... catching up on things has taken a while. I will donate... hmm, 3 essence.

I also would like to create something. 300ish wood elves on each planet, in the forests. If there aren't forests, I'll make those as well.

Artisanii decides to create another race on World B. The Mantra, descended from the Muses in Statue and Appearance but less powerful and hardy. They are only slightly more powerful then regular Muses. They spawn wherever shrines are, such as in Luminee Villages, Hummingbird Villages, Mountainwyrm Villages, etc. There are 300 of them divided between shrines.
Fluff

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They are shorter then the Muses, and less brilliant, but are not any less sapient or sentient. If they meet a Muse in their travels, they are to follow whatever their order is. Otherwise, they work as Artists and Leaders, performing speeches and plays. Unlike the Muses, they do not specialize in a Art. They simply make Art with whatever they have.

To the Muses and Mantra, the Artisanii then say: "You may now roam the world as you please, and NOT be tied to a singular shrine. Reunite with your mortal and immortal friends. Worship and Spread my Word, and soon enough you shall receive a blessing from me." To the Painters, he says: "Sure to be soon, you will see a sudden propagation of a new species. Mentor these species to use your skills as a gift from Artisanii."

Artisanii then retreats to his Library after this powerful declaration.

(Artisanii: -3 Essence)

Artisanii: You construct 300 Mantra distributed across various Museums and shrines and release your creations from being tied to any particular shrine and command them to spread art as they have before and assist the soon-to-be-created mortals.

Grauel: Some Gruen in a coastal Gruen village are deliberately adapting for undersea survival and consuming the gills of various fish. At this point, it is unclear whether they are trying to meet the Ritan or meat the Ritan. The Devourer is not due to arrive in this particular village for a fair amount of time.

Chip in 1 essence.

The hunger isn't unexpected but the ingenuity displayed by the Gruen somewhat is. Regardless, I'd like to see them work for the meal if they plan to go that route. Perhaps they will decide of their own accord, whether or not trade is a better option.

Tick 10: Natural novelties

In an attempt to finally create the 3 million humanoid mortals, Azem has decided to construct a small group of Template Humans. The council, at the time of the tick, has disbursed 2 Essence to cover the cost of an action done to execute the proposal. It is estimated that only Low 1-2 will be required to create the remainder of the moratals.

Joha, goddess of Life has awakened from the repeated creation of life! Her first act as a goddess is to create 300 wood elves for each planet and distribute them in the forests, much as wood be expected.

Kli has expanded the School of Balance, a mostly philosophical school founded independently by the Hummingbirds to increase understanding through debate. The primary changes he has introduced include the opening of the School to other races and a recommendation for an increased focus on Sacrifice. Not all of the members of the School agree with their patron's changes, but few can deny the usefulness of such a School. On Kli's recommendation, the Hummingbirds sent a scouting party to make contact with the Ritan. The initial meeting was tense, and the Ritan, anticipating more violence, kept their sharp rocks drawn. Fortunately, the Hummingbirds did not do anything to increase the Ritan's fears and some trade now exists between the two races.

Artisanii has created the Mantra, another race for (the chronically unnamed) World B. They resemble the Muses in appearance but are less durable and specialized. The Artisanii distribute the Mantra throughout the existing Museums and shrines and command all of their creations, previous and current, to take an active role in inspiring and assisting in the creation of art.

The Gruen have, following a large Experiment Feast, begun smaller-scale experimental feasts in an attempt to adapt to their surroundings. Some coastal Gruen have begun consumption directed at acquiring the ability to breathe underwater, although what this means for Ritan is still uncertain. Grauel, god of Hunger, has contributed to a project in which Serac expands large quantities of numbfish to manta ray size and increases their charge capacity in an effort to defend the Ritan.

The Light has taught agriculture and provided a demonstration on the use of tools for the Luminee, but it appears they only really needed the first lesson.

The dominant signs this half-tick are the Lance (World A), associated with lightning, speed, and cavalry, and Claw (World B), associated with the wilds, bare handed combat, and hunters. Whether this actually means something depends on who you ask.

If you have been marked inactive and would like to become active again, simply post and you will be marked active again (for voting purposes). Inactivity does not mean being killed off and having your Essence redistributed (without a proposal for that).

Spoiler: Council rules (+0) (click to show/hide)

These are all subject to addition, removal, and change by you. They can effect changes in the game's core rules (mechanics), administrative laws (voting requirements, seniority privilegs, &c.) or the natural rules (light does not exist, gravity is repulsive, giant animals can fly like birds, &c.).
Administrative:
An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Spoiler:  Yaos Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Yaos
Spheres: Humans; Ambition
Associated symbol: An androgynous human with wings
Primary forms (it changes every day, so there's no 'primary' as such): A young woman with golden hair and green eyes; a bearded old man with long white hair and white robes and red eyes; a young man with short yet wild black hair and red eyes
Description/Background: Born from the discussions of other gods and awakened by the creation of humans, Yaos is the god of Humans and Ambition. While she was in the form of a sleeping baby, no other beings - including gods - even knew of her existence. When she awakened she tried multiple different forms that she might present for her reveal and settled on the primary one she wears. She is a protector deity sworn to nurture the race known as 'humans' and protect them from destruction.

In the vast cosmos of space, a sleeping baby drifted by, all gods and beings entirely unaware of its existence. Then, the first humans were made.

Its eyes flew open. In seconds it grew to full adult size, a young man with short yet wild black hair and it had red eyes. Then, he became conscious of himself, and he knew he was a god.

"Aheeheehehehehehehe!"
"Ehehehehahahhaha!"
"AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"AHHHHAAHAAAHAAA!!!!"

"Ahhhh. Now. Time to reveal myself to the others. Hmmm...."
Then he changed to a bearded old man with long white hair and white robes and red eyes.
"Perhaps. Perhaps this form will do."
The god then changed to a young woman with golden hair and green eyes.
"Or maybe this one. Yes, this one will do, but I'll also need a name..."

*

"Greetings my fellow gods!" ^_^ "My name is Yaos, the God of Humans! I am very pleased to meet you all!" :D

Yaos creates 250,000 humans on World 1 and another 250,000 on World 2. Both instances of creation take from the 3.00 Pool.
She then proceeds to make an old man from one of the World 1 humans a prophet.

Yaos: You create a total of 500 000 humans distributed across the two planets and later give an elderly man on World 1 the title of prophet. Some of them serve you directly.

Anath: You tell the Star Elves their duties as the firstborn race with respect to the newly created Wood Elves. The Star Elves send a contact party with some gifts and examples of Star Elven craftsmanship to the nearest Wood Elf retreat.

Serac: The Void does indeed seem rather silent, but keep in mind the fact that the majority of Void beings do not actively seek out conversation. They will not mind continuing conversation, of course.

(Cim: -1+1 Essence)
You create 600 000 more humans. Some of them serve you directly.

Azem: A huge crowd is gathered around the opening of the gem dragon's cave. They hope to see the second real Piece of Eight before the price gets even higher. The dragon seems to be far more effective at making sure the guests actually pay to enter.

(Yes, and I was actually working under the assumption that you did most things for both worlds anyway.)

Grauel: The Gruen meat and greet the suddenly present humanoids. They will make a fine food source for ages to come, and unlike the godinalized creations, are rather weak-willed. Gruen-worship cults crop up in many places independently as humans wishing to become as powerful as the Gruen come over to bring food.

"STONEANFIVE! The priestess demands STONEANFIVE SHINIES! Again, she demands STONEANFIVE TODAY!"
"Out of my way! I came here first!"
"Spare some shinies?"
"Do you have an extra pebble of shinies?"

The sapphire gem dragon in charge of this shrine seems to be half-asleep. Occasionally, she turns a little and opens one eye at the crowd, scaring them into a slightly more orderly mass.

(These Mountwyrms have not yet developed currency as the ones on World A have.)

You enter the shrine/dragon's lair. The Piece of Eight is displayed on a tall, golden pedestal. Many in the crowd reach out to touch the pedestal and make wishes. Here are a few of them:
"I wish I could trade my spot on the caravan and get a proper house. Life on the road is exhausting."
"I wish I owned the Piece of Eight. Then I'd be the richest in the world!"
"I wish I was made of clear blue shinies like the Priestess."
"I wish I could keep my best-looking shinies and trade something else instead of them."

Tick 10.4: Opulent Operations

Yaos has finally awakened with the arrival of humans! The arrival of the humans has been greeted with joy and slavering maws by various, less satiated Gruen. Gruen-worship (not to be confused with the direct worship of Grauel) has become a reasonably widespread practice among humans, many of whom believe that the god of hunger will also take away hunger. This is considered to be a useful heresy for the Gruen.

Johac, the newly formed goddess of life, has created a number of Wood Elves fairly deep in the forests of both worlds. Anath's Night Elves, whose numbers have been increased thanks to proposal 03.00, have attempted to show their friendliness to their younger wood-dwelling brethren.

After having realized his relative abandonment of World B, Azem has made an appearance at the site of the local Piece of Eight. He granted many wishes for gem-colored scales and proceeded to introduce the concept of currency, which the background Belief level supported by having difficult-to-replicate silver coins of various denominations fall from empty space. A particularly organized Mountwyrm present decided to form the world's first bank and mint after several months under the monetary system. Their questions include the following:

• "But Lord Azem, how are your tiny silver children worth as much as a much heavier shiny?"
• "Why do we trade your tiny silver children instead of more interestingly shaped shinies?"
• "Can you make my scales diamond?"

Artisanii has also created 300 000 unaligned humans for the proposal, consuming a unit of donation Essence. 200 000 humanoids remain until the council can consider the proposal executed.

The silence of the Void seems to be suspicious to some. Perhaps, the Void voices have been pacified or banished by the secret efforts of various gods.

This half-tick's prominent signs are the Dagger and the Eye. Green and red aurora are visible on World A.

Grauel retrospectively realizes how needlessly complicated he made Gruen reproduction.

He spends essence to make it so that they now reproduce at the same rate but by spores instead of growing on trees like fruit. (Because that makes little sense with their current ability to adapt over time by eating things)

All Gruen now produce spores which they can release at will. The spores germinate in dirt, rocks, water and decaying organic matter.

If another living creature eats excessive numbers of spores for whatever reason, they will take on Gruen characteristics.

Take away hunger indeed...

Go ahead but I take no responsibility for casualties. You might want your Luminee to be armed.

Azem answers the first two questions. Fluff to come later, maybe.

He also checks on the newly created Dwarves and Humans.

Well, you do realize that plant based entities are totally dependant on Light? So I am sure the Luminees are totally safe with your gruens.

(Why? They digest food, and don't have the ability to produce their own food. They are only as dependent on light as ever other humanoid.)

Tick 11: People and porridge

Artisanii's Muses and Mantras are thriving and very successful in their mission to spread culture and art throughout the world. Many great works have been produced all over the worlds. A human village in World 2/B/Slytha working with Mantras has produced a set of 30 masterfully detailed amphoras with depictions of the original 30 Muses, and a wandering mixed troupe has introduced a wildly popular interpretation on the older comedy Little Chief.

The Hummingbirds and the Ritan have traded special magic songs with each other and have increased trade by a lot since their initial contact. The volume of trade between them rivals even the Mountwyrms' lower trade volumes. The Ritan are particularly interested in metal objects on account of the difficulty of refining ores and working metal deep in their villages, and the Hummingbirds enjoy the assorted sea-produce the Ritan grow.

Anath has taught many of the humans the Lunar Calendar. While some isolated tribes have already discovered it independently, the majority rely on weather and the sun almost exclusively. This will help them become more organized and allow for the development of larger, more complex entities.

The Light has announced that the Multiprism was placed on World 1/A/Keshan and creates four Dragons of Crystalline Light to guard it and allow only Light devotees and Azem's petitioners to enter. He also tells the Luminee to build an ecumenical Temple of Order and a School of Light. Much as the the members of the School of Balance do, the members of the School of Light debate and eat and drink. The opening of the School of Light spreads the ideas of the Phoctans*, previously minor philosophical division from the School of Balance who believe that true balance is perfection and vice versa.

The Light has also caused the Luminee to bring some writings on the Light and some art to the Gruen. The Gruen are unsure of whether the Luminee want them to buy them or give them away for free. (Extensive contact has already occurred between Luminee and the less hungry Gruen.)

Azem has introduced the concept of currency to the Mountwyrms on Slytha. This development will improve the efficiency of caravans slightly and allow for reasonably efficient organization over the few-villages level.

Khaziraad has created 200 000 gremlins to finish the execution of 03.00. 2 Essence remain. The lucky gods today are Azem and Grauel.

Grauel attempts to issue a major-level retcon such that the Grauel reproduce by spores instead of as fruit. The GM asks "Wasn't this always the case to begin with? My headcanon always had them as moss-like spore-forming intelligence."

Valkiss, Azem, Fusil, Cim, The Light, Khaziraad, and Anath have each received 5 basic, aligned angels.

A pantheon has been built for every race on each world.

(Forgot completely about the Angels. We made those a loooong time ago...)

I make the angels in the same way I made Tykki, forming them from a mass of weapons with an attention to detail rivaled by none. I look over the five new angels, bringing them to life with the sound of a cannon exploding, causing each to open their eyes at once. Each looked different, composed of different models of weapons giving them much needed verity.

"Hello, my Angels. I would very much like your assistance. From now on, you will be named Hubka, Isibhamu, Silaha, Drylliau, and Feuerwaffe. It seems you made it in time for the Feast of Fusil, feel free to join and help followers in any way you see fit. Until it starts, go through the land spreading the creation and use of weapons, as well as faith in me. If you sense any of my followers in danger, do your best to protect them by any means necessary. I would like to spend time with you some time, to get to know each of you, but we have an eternity for that. For now, we are busy. Goodbye, for now, it will be pleasant seeing you again."

(And thus, strike team Fusil has formed!)

Grauel attempts to issue a major-level retcon such that the Grauel reproduce by spores instead of as fruit. The GM asks "Wasn't this always the case to begin with? My headcanon always had them as moss-like spore-forming intelligence."

(Yes and no. Originally they grew out of tree like structures that grew out of some moss like substance. The tree like structures made the Gruen as well as the spores that would develop into new patches of moss that would later develop into new trees which could produce new Gruen... or something like that... Yeah it's much simpler just to say that they grow out of the ground directly from spores.)

Fusil: Hubka, Isibhamu, Silaha, Drylliau, and Feuerwaffe (the only one whose original language I can actually guess) agree and teleplot away. They will be doing much jumping over the next few weeks, demonstrating the power, use, and construction of weapons to assorted mortals in preparation for the Feast of Fusil.

(Lost in Nowhere: Fixed for T011)

Joha: You give the wood-elves sphere-related knowledge on the value of life and aligned spell-songs. In ages to come, they will be known as caretakers of the forests, helping to maintain their original states through generous application of Life knowledge and aligned magic.

(gman8181: This change is free, don't worry too much about it.)

Azem: With your introduction of currency on Slytha, the average administrative regional size has increased greatly. Now, sufficiently powerful groups or individuals control multiple villages and towns, which have also grown in size. Some particularly densely populated human towns even submit to single rulers. This is the beginning of a time when vast empires control the land. The Mountwyrms, of course, profit from these developments, as centralized control also allows for a centralized military, which helps reduce the substantial losses from banditry.

The families of the newly gem-colored Mountwyrms have become nobility in their regions and now operate a powerful council regulating the flow of shinies in various towns.

Title: Re: Ye Gods [13/∞] Game Thread/IC (Started and still recruiting)
Post by: Kilojoule Proton on October 21, 2014, 10:46:25 pm

Serac: The Sorae have acquired a reputation as some of the best sea traders on Keshan. Although they have little native mineral resources, they easily make up for it by having a secret method of fishing (trawling) which provides significant income for them. They are also quite cohesive compared to the other races, probably in part because of the isolation of the island turtles from the rest of the world.

The Ritan's relations with the land-dwelling races have improved greatly. They now export various sea spices grown only undersea and import metal and exotic foods, and the trade balance is typically in their favor. One of the sea spices seems to boost psymental magical ability, which has led to a significant industry for various mages across the lands. Pieces of their coral are also in high demand.

No one seems to know where the Scales of Drought are any more. (Read: But a suggestion would be welcome)

Azem makes his the angels Mountwyrms, with dragonfly wings, and brilliant glowing scales that are somehow shinier than any mortal can achieve, looking over the five and bringing them to life with the sound of tinkling coins.



"Rubin, Smarag, Diam, Amathet, Tomal, awaken my children. We have much work to do. Teach the mortals of the wonders of greed and trade and how to go about it. Assist any of my followers who are in danger.

(Suggestions for alterative names welcome. I actually came up with two more, thinking I needed seven names. Zirco and Sapphira.)

Yaos (Humans): 20/20, 5-6

(What does the 5-6 mean?)

---

Yaos changes her mind about 3.09 and SUPPORTS it.

Yaos changes into her old man form.
HERESY! I'll make those vermin pay.
Yaos instructs his prophet on Keshan to do a few things in Yaos' name. The prophet is to spread the word of Yaos. He will denounce the Gruen as cannibals and as threats to Humanity.
He will denounce the heretic humans who worship the Gruen and claim that they are stupid and unclean and unfavored by the God of Humans. It will be true as I will subtly siphon life force from them so they live on average 10 - 15 years less. The heretics may repent by sacrificing animals and faithfully praying to me.
Those who already worship me will not be granted longer life but their journey to old age and death will be less painful and undignified.
I will grant the prophet slightly longer life to spread my word and I will grant him the ability to perform minor miracles.
He shall spread word of a savior that will unite humanity and free them from the terror of the Gruen. The savior will be born after the death of the prophet.
Two years before his death he will expand and organise the worship of Yaos by founding clergy, scriptures, rituals, and places of worship.
If his life is threatened Yaos will act subtly so that faithful warriors will always be nearby should he need protection. It will almost always seem as though it was coincidence that they just happened to be there.

On Slytha, a human randomly chosen from the faithful will be selected as a prophet. He or she will have slightly longer life and will spread the word of Yaos.

"Fusil! You are the god of weapons. My Faithful on Keshan require weapons in order to protect themselves from the Gruen and the Heretics who worship them. I implore you to send your angels and help them! You will receive aid from my prophet there to help your angels should they need it."

"To the rest of the council I have a proposal: that the most faithful of our followers and our prophets and our highest of clergy should have their souls upon death appear in afterlives of our own individual designs. I wish to share in their company after their mortal bodies have expired but am unable to do so. It saddens me greatly."

You know, the scales could be made into a suit of armour and a sword... And anyone who is attacked by those weapons would be under siege by the weather and an army.

Edit: Having the afterlife for extremely worthy mortals, I like that idea. It has my support.

"I had realized this before you had even spoken. Long ago, just after humanity was created, I had directed Tykki's efforts in teaching mortals to the humans. Starting, of course, with the villages close to the Gruen or otherwise in danger. They are fully capable of defending themselves, especially in groups. If you feel it wise, I suggest organizing your men more effectively, perhaps forming a military. I will support them in weapon creation whenever I feel it necessary, and many of my angels are gathering followers among the humans while teaching them further in the ways of weapons already. The tools are all there, all you need is organization. This should be simple as the god of humanity."

"As for your proposal, I see no reason to use council funds for this. My most loyal followers will continue in the cycle of reincarnation, granting them eternal life, rather than a dead world. I suggest you pull out souls on an individual bases if you wish to do so, we have a currently empty spirit realm you could design. At the very least, this should be up to the individual god to decide."

(Azem: I can recognize Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, Amethyst, Zircon, and Sapphire. Is Tomal tourmaline?)

Yaos:
(5-6 raw Worship points (not considering Worship Quality))

(Yaos: -3 Essence)

Yaos: You shorten the lives of the Gruen cultists and absorb the suffering of the aging faithful. Not many seem to care, as the life expectancy of a Gruen cultist is quite low anyway. You also give the prophet an extended lifespan and will automatically tell him to expand your Worship two years before death. You also use the Butterfly Method to make sure he has bodyguards at the (next?) assassination attempt. Finally, you create a prophet on Yaos.

(Serac: Keep in mind that the number of mortals increases (and so does the number of souls). You can easily skim off your most devoted and there wouldn't be sudden outbreaks of stillbirth or something.)

(Re afterlife: Partitioning works on spirit dimensions too.)

(Also, we now have a unique Angel of War (Tykki: Weapons) and a unique Angel of Famine (Devourer: Hunger). Anyone want to make a unique Angel of Death or a unique Angel of Pestilence (or a unique Angel of Conquest) and a few unique horses?)

I had no other intervention besides teaching them the way of arms, and of course converting several. I had assumed you would not object, as I have been doing this for so long with so many races. You did, after all, fund at least one project in direct opposition to the Gruen sating their hunger. I may arm them as well, if I see it fit."

His first proclamation as official prophet is to unilaterally declare marriage and mating illegal for all of your clergy.

@Stirk
I have no issue with you arming the humans or converting them nor do I have an issue with the Gruen having to work for their meals. My reasons for helping Serac were somewhat similar but also due to the fact that his creations were limited in number and more or less defenseless. I did not wish to have them wiped out; something that is not likely to happen with the ridiculously large quantities of new humanoids wandering about.

My point here was simply that such a direct intervention from gods like the curse he placed on those under my domain could very quickly lead to an escalating problem if he does not restrain himself. My angel has been helping improve the Gruen much like yours have helped improve the humans. There is no harm in trying to teach and improve our followers. I simply wish to make it plain that if more direct intervention from angels or gods is to occur, I will have no choice but to respond in kind.

@Andres
The Gruen serve me and thus those who serve the Gruen also serve me. That applies regardless of how direct or indirect you may perceive it to be. If I wish to take my share and use them in more circuitous ways then that is my decision not yours. Now if you want the Gruen to remove humans from their diet, then by all means make them strong enough that it is not worth my Gruen's time trying to eat them. Until then though, humans are among the most abundant species on the planet and I see no reason why the Gruen should not be able to utilize this ample resource as food.

Grauel orders his Gruen to start feeding the more useful cultists Gruen Spores to give them Gruen like abilities and longevity and also so that they might get over that heretical idea that I have any intention of taking away their hunger. The less useful ones may continue to be used as they were.

"I thank you for your words, Fusil, but I cannot take your advice. Firstly, I am already having second thoughts about the limitation on life I gave the Heretics. Vile as they are they are still humans and I care for them and their free will. Bending their very thoughts is taboo for me and I will not partake in it.
Having the many hundreds of thousands of humans strip the landscape of plants poisonous to the Gruen - of which their may be none I shall say - will cause a quick extinction of the plants in the best case scenario. The worst case scenario involves them being poisonous to humans as well. In any case I will not force all my charges to have the indignity of their being forced to wear leaves or sap just to survive.
As for your ideas on beast-making and militaries, well, I have plans.........

Yaos makes it so that the 10 - 15 year penalty imposed on the Heretics becomes a mere 5 year penalty.

Yaos also rips out a part of the spirit world and all high clergy, prophets, angels, and particularly devout worshippers of Yaos will go there after death.

So be it.

My prophet is old and dies a natural death from old age after setting up the clergy and organised worship and whatnot.

A human is born, but it is not a human. It looks like a human to be sure, and will seem as such for a while, but it is not. It is the first angel of Yaos. An archangel. An angel with increased combat ability and an attunement to Universal magic. (7)
He shall grow among humans, all the while knowing what he is, who I am, and of his divine mission. On reaching adulthood, he will make all witness to his power, and announce his angelic nature and that he is the one prophesied by the first prophet of Yaos to free people from the threat of the Gruen. He will make title himself Emperor and unite all humans under his banner, whether by words, by display of power, or by force. When all faithful and unaligned humans are under his banner, he will don an ornate set of golden armour and make war against the Gruen and the Heretics. His ageing will stop at middle-age and will have long, dark brown hair. He is the Angel-Emperor of Mankind.

Yaos also makes a pair of generic angels to serve his whims.

"Fusil, I have a proposition for you. My Emperor requires a weapon. I want either you or one of your angels to make one and give it to him. I am thinking of a large, flaming sword. In return the Emperor will build temples dedicated towards you, and will make owning a weapon mandatory among every human under his power. If you have any other requests you have simply to ask."

"The proposal is simple, and acceptable. I will assume I am free to design it as I see fit..."

As the deal is struck, the hammer of creation begins. I temporary put all my attention into making the blade. A claymore seems like it would fit his description, one the size of an ordinary man. First, I make it out of solid Damascus steel. I cut the edges to a single molecule, and make the blade eternally sharp. On the hilt, the very bottom, I add a single button in the shape of an elongated diamond. Pressing this causes it to sprout flames from its center outward, in a blaze the wielder can control. I attune the hilt so it will only accept the man it has been created for, other hands will be rejected and the blade will grow heavy. I practice a few swings in the void until I am satisfied with its balance. Then, having completed the basics, I continue to the aesthetics. Knowing he has the power of magic, I add several gems in the shape of elongated diamonds along the hilt, fit for storing magic that may be released into the blade. I make the blade unbreakable, and give it the power to return to its owner on demand, no matter what the distance. Lastly, I camelionize the blade, so it may change from any color its user wishes for pure ascetic purposes.

"It is nearly done. The one feature I would like to add would be sentience and sapience, though I would require you to pay a share of the essence required for that.

Yaos instructs the Emperor to set up shrines to Fusil and to make the owning of a weapon mandatory for all humans in the warrior business (military, bodyguarding, caravan-guarding, etc.) and also for the nobility.

Grauel gathers up a great amount of Gruen spores and scatters them across the world, from the highest mountains, to the forests and even deep underground. He then pulses with essence and releases it out into the spores making them grow immediately into whatever 5 essence worth of fertile adult Gruen comes out to.

He then summons the Devourer.
Go marshal the Gruen and create your own empire to match that of the Humans. Build a mighty citadel in my name and prepare for whatever holy war the supposed angel emperor plans to wage.

Artisanii: You grant the Muses the ability to commune with you without art and give them access to the Divine Library. You also release the Painter Muses from wandering the wilds after they teach humans, and they immediately begin traveling back to the first statue and shrine.

Yaos: You clarify that the Angel-Emperor and angel are to recruit humans to build fortifications in case they forgot to bring some along and call one of the angels to the Human Plane, which you open up to all humans who serve you primarily.

Azem: "The citadel is finished. As you ordered, the structure is not based on shinies, and the structure has been thoroughly checked by one of the highest Golem architects. I have also allowed an angel of Fusil to help our defenders make preparations."

After the construction, Prophet Alprozem seems to be in a better mood.

(Wait wait wait. Is Azem against Yaos? Why is he against Yaos? He has literally nothing to do with this war. Does he just not want his Gem Dragons to get involved in the war? Does he have something against Yaos? Does he have something against humans? This just came out of left field.)

Yaos takes the single Controller Angel and 100 Humanos Grande from the Human Plane and brings them to Keshan to serve the Angel-Emperor. He then creates another Controller Angel and another 100 Humanos Grande for the new angel to control. Their first orders are to help in the construction of fortifications across the Empire in what limited ways they are able to.

EDIT: The Angel-Emperor gets the Gem Dragon mercenaries ((first mercenaries! woot!)) and integrates them into the army.

OOC
I secretly prototyped a couple races in the Human Plane by PMing the GM. These are the descriptions:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yaos goes to the Human Plane which is supposedly huge and only has a handful of people in it. In a far-off place where there aren't any humans or other creatures he begins prototyping a new variant of humans. They will be much larger than humans - approximately 5 times as large - and will be incapable of reproducing on their own due to their not having the organs required to do so. Their size will make their physical traits superior to humans in every way.
They will only ever take orders either from Yaos himself or one of Yaos' angels and never a normal human. This is to prevent Heretics from taking control over them. To decrease Essence costs, they will, at most, be sentient and never sapient. Their mental facilities will be enough that if an angel gives them simple instructions like 'put that rock on top of that other rock' or 'kill that Gruen' or 'carry that basket and put the things in that basket over there'. Their primary job is to perform as shock troops against the Gruen rather than allowing actual humans to die.
They will gather energy from the sun and only have organs relevant to such a task. No need to waste space and weight on a digestive track. They will also burn up completely after death or when an angel tells them to so that they cannot be used as food for the Gruen.
They will be known as Humanos Grande.

A single prototype angel is made. They are like generic angels in every way except they have decreased combat ability and are NOT immortal and will eventually die of old age. They will instead be psi-linked to the Humanos Grande and will know what the linked Humanos Grande are sensing, can give them commands, and can will them to combust even when far away. The new angels will be known as Controller Angels.

"For the code of conduct described in 03.11.1, I propose the following:"

Spoiler: The Code of Conduct (click to show/hide)

• The Council holds final decision and veto power over the matters described here.
• The Council MAY apply freely decided sanctions on deities breaking the Code of Conduct. Any such sanctions are expected to be reasonable.
• Permission for actions upon assets, as described below, can be granted ONLY by the assets' owner OR the Council.
• An asset's owner is decided by its creator, AND it MAY opt to leave it unaligned, UNLESS it is free-willed, in which case the asset MAY decide its owner. Assets created by the Council are unaligned UNLESS they are free-willed.
• The Council MAY NOT intervene in conflicts between deities NOR their assets, BUT individual deities MAY choose to do so. Conflicts involving ONLY unaligned assets MAY be acted on by the Council.
• Deities MAY freely conversate with assets that are theirs OR unaligned, even privately, but NOT with those of other deities UNLESS given permission to do so OR they do it publicly.
• Deities MAY act upon assets that are theirs OR unaligned, and create new ones, BUT it must be done in a way that allows the Council to notice what has been done AND by whom. Deities MAY NOT act upon other deities' assets UNLESS given permission. The Council MAY act upon any assets however it wants to.
• IF an asset acts directly against a deity, the asset's owner at the time of the action is deemed responsible. Responsibility MAY OR MAY NOT imply the necessity of a sanction.

"In practice, these rules increase the Council's power while still allowing reasonable individual freedom. We may also change or add to them later on if necessary."

"My issues begin with point seven, where it denies us the ability to smite someone else's worshiper if they do something to offend us, as well as removing the right of private creation. As well as the fact that your current interception (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144704.msg5750784#msg5750784) of clause eight means that if my worshipers get annoyed and smack around someone else's worshipers, I get blamed." Anath informs the other god. "As well, I highly doubt anyone would pay more then lip service to point six, given that anyone seeking permission to try to convert someone elses worshiper (IE, the main reason to ask to talk to someone else's follower) is highly unlikely to expect permission or desire to let the other god know that his worshipers are being poached by doing so openly."

"I shall finish with the laughability of trying to enforce the third clause." Anath finishes up. "Anyone who claims they can or will manage complete non-interaction with a majority of life, which this demands, is either even more foolish then this code or lying to your face."

Tick 11.5: Questions and quarrels

Fusil, Azem, Cim, Khaziraad, Anath have completed their angels from proposal 02.03. Fusil has sent his angels to jump around the corporeal dimension, spreading news of weapons and of the upcoming Feast, and Azem has sent his angels to teleplot around and assist the greedy and protect the greedy and endangered.

Joha has educated her Wood Elves on the meaning and value of life and magic through song. They help to maintain their forests in excellent state, helping not only the growing plants but also the consuming fungi to keep the cycle of nutrients turning.

Azem has successfully introduced currency to the Mountwyrms on Slytha. Trade there primarily occurs through the medium of silver coins instead of assorted, variably shaped shinies of different materials now. Incidentally, he has also modified a fair number of Mountwyrms to have gem scales, which led directly to their ascension to positions of great power. On Keshan, he has officially named Alprozem a Prophet and asked him to build a citadel to withstand the upcoming chaos. He has also suggested that the Mountwyrms make contact with the Dwarves.

Yaos has begun the first organized purging of non-aligned belief by sending his prophet out to denounce the Gruen and their minions as unholy and unacceptable. He has also cursed the humans who serve the Gruen with shorter lives, ignoring the fact that this is one of the few demographics that would not actually care about this. He has arranged for the prophet to spread his influence two years before his own death, which occurred as arranged. Yaos has also used the Butterfly Method to ensure that his prophet survives (the next)/an assassination attempt. At some point in the future, he reduced the severity of the curse.

Later, he attempts to hire some Gem Dragons with a gift of gold, silver, and gems. Demonstrating their devotion to Greed, they accept the gifts and proceed to do nothing significant for the war effort. He also commands his angels to arrange for the construction of a fortification for his own army. The escalation worries Cim, who proposes a Code of Conduct (P11.00) to define acceptable and unacceptable behavior. He manages to hire Khaziraad's angels later still to construct the fortifications.

Grauel has ordered that the more useful human cultists be given Gruen spores so as to boost their abilities. He has also ordered the Devourer to spread Gruen spores all over the worlds and grow them quickly and organize them into something resembling an empire. While response times are currently too long to maintain a decent empire, the Devourer manages to organize the Gruen into more useful, capable regions.

Fusil has begun work on an impressive sword for Yaos, who, it seems, is currently unable to pay. Nevertheless, Yaos arranges for Fusil to be honored by his humans.

Artisanii has made sure that their Muses can communicate with them at any time and grants them access to the Divine Library. They have also made sure to release the Painter Muses from their long tour of duty.

(Kli: -0) Kli has blessed the Trees of Balance with the ability to produce magical fruit once every few hundred years.

Serac, Anath, Azem, Yaos, Cim have created afterlife planes to house souls in between their cycles. Anath's plane is managed by his five angels from 02.03.

In response to Anath:

"You don't want to be responsible for your actions. You want to do whatever you want with no repercussions. I understand. But tell me, if I suddenly decided to indiscriminately smite all your followers, what would you do? Smite mine? You can't. Complain to the Council? I broke no rule. Insult me and always vote against me out of spite? That is petty. What if I did it with such subtlety I wouldn't be caught? Could you do anything? A code of conduct is good for all of us, especially those who haven't taken precautions in case the current situation continues."

"Clause eight. What if I created a free-willed beast, and said beast went on to slay every living thing? Would it be the beast's fault, who misunderstood life, or mine, who allowed it to happen? As gods, we can and ought to control our followers. We are and should be responsible for them and their actions."

"Third clause, touché. It will need rewording."

Replace §3 with this: "Permission for actions by deities upon assets where required, as described below, can be granted ONLY by the assets' owner OR the Council."

Anath again turns to the world, struck by the sheer desire to create. He reaches down to the worlds, beneath the surface hugging settlements of the Star Elves, and creates six thousand of the Termitia on each world.

He beholds his new children and smiles, and tells them to always remember their bonds of brother and sisterhood with the Night Elves and Star Dragons, and tells those two races likewise of their new kin, and bids them to always hold allegiance to one another when faced with the perils that creation may send upon them.

Anath snorts. "Should your followers seek ruin upon mine, I will bring likewise ruin upon yours. Should you bring ruin on that which I hold dear, I would bring ruin upon which you treasure. Any who claim I hold no power to defend and seek vengeance on those who would harm that which I protect, I would advise those ones to think again."

"A Code of Conduct could be useful, yes. But I will not accept one that would bid me to idly accept evils done upon those who follow me with loyalty. For I would not keep such a code, no matter how others might whine."

As gods, we can and ought to control our followers. We are and should be responsible for them and their actions."

"The creations of the god of hunger has already feasted upon the creations of another god, should you recall." Anath reminds the other god. "They were rightly punished for this, but it was their actions and thusly it was their punishment as well. Free will is the right to one's own choices. If a god was to order his creation to cause extinction, that would be the will and responsibility of a god. But should a creation use their free will to freely decide upon something we dislike and would punish, that is their freely chosen choice, and our freely chosen rebuke."

Crossing his arms, Anath shakes his head. "Perhaps you should go visit the great library, for you seem to be unaware of what free will actually means."

The creations of another God? That's funny, I could have sworn it was not in fact the God of humans who created the humans, ironically enough, but the majority of us; or if you want to be really specific Azem made the first of them. If he is arrogant enough to claim complete lordship over something he never even made then I care little if he feels antagonized by my actions towards the humans.

And are you honestly going to go along with that just because of his title? Perhaps I should declare myself the God of all creation and declare holy war and lay down curses on anyone who touches anything under my "domain". They weren't even humans who follow him. Maybe I'll make my secondary sphere plants and complain when your creations feed themselves.

It's absolutely ridiculous and a situation only caused by him claiming all of something he had no part in but an empty title and then having the audacity to think his claim is of more worth than anyone else's.

Yaos changes the definitions of the Humanos Grande to conform to specific metres in height rather than just multiples of human height. She also increases the size of current Humanos to 15m and creates 800 more of these new Humanos Grande, with an additional 8 Controller Agenls to link with them.

"So Fusil, I've been thinking really hard and I don't want the sword to be alive. I just seems kinda wierd, you know? But still, thank you for making it. It's reaaaaalllllly nice!" :D "I'll get my little Emperor to keep working on my end of the deal now. It's just so difficult to do with all the war going on." ;)

The Emperor takes the shrines and upgrades them to full-on Churches of Fusil. He also makes owning a weapon mandatory among any and all who have a profession or a job.

OPPOSE 11.00.

Spoiler: New Humanos Grande (click to show/hide)

In the Human Plane, Yaos picks 10 devout Yaos-worshipping human warriors and creates 10 prototypes of Humanos Grande. These new Humanos Grande have physical appearances similar to the 10 humans that were picked and have a weak psi-link connecting them. When ordered to by their respective humans, they shall pick them up and place them in a secret spot (PMing GM where the weak spot is) where the human shall assume direct, non-psi control over the Humanos. Flesh and/or muscles and/or bone (won't say specifically, might tip you guys off where the weak spot is) will cover them and protect them.
Unlike regular Humanos Grande, this new breed of Humanos is not sentient in the least, and is even less than most animals. While not being controlled by their human, they are completely inert, bending at one knee while inactive. They are activated when their human controller uses their psi-link to order the Humanos to pick up the human and place them in the control spot. This is the only thing the new Humanos is capable of doing in a fashion that could even be interpreted as doing on its own.
The point of these new Humanos is to allow for the destructive capability of a regular Humanos Grande but with the intelligence of a human.
Angels could theoretically pilot their own Humanos but they, like regular pilots, would have to be psi-linked manually in order to pilot them. Humans are used because if mass production of the new Humanos is initiated, humans would make far cheaper pilots than angels, and the new Controlado can't fly while angels can. Angels can't fly when controlling the new Humanos.
Angels can still order these Humanos to combust by giving them an oral order. Assuming the Humanos can hear it, it WILL combust, regardless of whether a human is inside or not. This combustion only triggers if the angel explicitly states that that specific Humanos should burn; any mass-orders given to Humanos to combust will not affect the new Humanos.
This new variant of Humanos Grande shall be called Humanos Grande Controlado - Humanos Controlado for short or just 'Controlado' for shortest.
When the prototypes and testing is complete, the new soldiers will be ported back to the Empire to serve the Angel-Emperor.

Yaos makes it so that devout followers have increased magical potential.

Having invented clubbing already, Yaos once again goes to Slysha to hang out with her prophet a bit more, to see how they're doing over there.

"Who said anything about slaughter? I didn't. That would be more suitable for you, I prefer subtler methods. For example, what if I said you have already lost this war we're drifting towards?"

"I would remind you that it is a lie on all fronts. We are not drifting to war, and you would not have won. Surly, a random conversation about a law that would not be passed anyway is not a valid start for any war, we would all be ashamed to let it be."

((Knowledge of guns I can handwave easily, but of chemistry teachers and drug manufacturers? Let's think inside the box of our little fantasy world that has nothing resembling modern real life chemistry, shall we?))

(I was going to use "Bomb" instead of drugs, but remembered that as a Chemistry student with an already strange computer history, I should probably keep the B-word to a minimum. It would have fit Fusil better, but I would rather *not* be questioned by the government any time soon.)

"I would certainly call myself sane, perhaps the only one among us to be so. Being able to prevent something is different than being guilty of it. For example, if I had stabbed a random human through the back without anyone noticing, would the God of Humans be held responsible? No, as the killer it would be all on me. What if he taught him the use of drugs that I made, for healing the wounded, and simply misused them? It is simply a tool, and you can not blame the one who made the tool for the crime done with it. We can prevent some things, but that does not make us complacent in every crime that happens,  by the simple fact not even we know of most of them or what will truly be the outcome of any of our actions.

Quote

"I can think of many ways that scenario could resolve, and spontaneously inventing banditry seems unlikely. More likely, they'd ask for help from the caravan, or whatever their particular god had taught them. They simply don't have the independence to suddenly decide to abandon society. The Butterfly Effect is one of the methods of applying power with a high limit. However, it does have some limits, as for example complexity and thus unlikeliness increases."

"And have you experimented with those limits, as you have claimed? I can make the caravan refuse. Banditry already exists, if I did not misread several reports, they wouldn't have to invent something new. Of course, seeing as the god of humans is about to get into a war, there is little doubt he would be able to hear or answer every sad prayer that comes his way immediately. Even then, as a god of Weapons, I could simply inspire the to believe that the Caravan are the ones who burned down the houses to improve sales, or just fill them with irrational blood-lust. They would not have time to communicate with their god until after. If you don't believe my hypothetical, why not try the domino effect to a similarly complicated degree, so we can see if it works or not? I would be happy to think of a suitable experiment if you do not."

Valkiss has been struck down!

(Vote counted, Yaos: -4E)

Yaos: You have created the Humanos Grandes Controlados. They can be piloted by people and enhance their strength greatly. Some of the prayers from your worshippers are listed:
"I want to be the best at everything I do!"
"I wish to slay a Gem Dragon and make its scales into fine clothing."
"I wish all the Luminees in town would leave."
"I want to know more about these Void things."
"I just want a jelly roll. Maybe my children will at least survive another day."
"I wish the war would stop so I can get back with the caravan."
"I want to become a god! Of Conquest!"

Azem: The Angels report that they have helped the Slythan Gem Council to dominate land-based trade completely for all practical purposes. On their recommendation, they have placed watch towers throughout the wilderness, and the caravans are now well-defended to protect against a recent (unrelated) increase in caravan robbing. On Keshan, they have, through the use of surgical bribes, managed to speed up the improvement of the Golden Citadel*. While the current merchant families (one of the biggest 10 of which is a Luminee family) are too disorganized and quarrelsome to form a unified trade network as the Gem Council has on Slytha, they are currently in a position to cripple various poorly acclimated settlements (i.e. races poorly adapted to their surroundings, such as Hummingbirds on plains or Humans in barren, rocky terrain) simply through orders to skip certain areas.

Why do you all presume that killing a god has to do with obtaining their essence? Gaining essence is rather simple in ways that do not antagonize and frighten the other gods.

There are plenty of possible reasons. We do not yet know what potential benefits one could derive from killing a god or what the voices from outside might be willing to offer for the death of a god if that is their motive. Even with all that aside, killing gods and even just draining them has plenty of potential for manipulating other gods through sheer psychological effect.

Joha: The wood elven Council of Elders on Keshan seems to have approved overgrowing the edges of the forest in an attempt to keep the wars out of their lands. The forests have become associated, somewhat ironically, with death after multiple disappearances of wandering outsiders. Wood elves are still portrayed positively in human folklore, and seeing one in a forest is said to be a sign of their compassion and assistance with directions. Whether this is actually true is a different matter.

On Slytha, lacking pressure from the looming war, the wood elves have taken to modifying the vegetation around their retreats for novelty. Oddly colored leaves and bizarrely shaped flowers proliferate around their homes.

The Light:
First Luminee: "I wish for my light to flash between many colors."
Second Luminee: "I wish to join a caravan! But my parents want me to stay on the farm."
Third Luminee: "I wish for my son to stay on the farm and not join a caravan."
Fourth Luminee: "I wish I could be bigger than Yuvi the Light Crab* for a day."
Human: "I wish to return to peace. My children at home are sick."
Mountwyrm: "I wish I could glow like a Luminee in a shiny way."
Gruen: "I wish I could eat something that would let me glow."

Azem:
Random Mountwyrm: "I wish we could go back to trading shinies and not Azem's children."
Gem Council Mountwyrm (Quartz): "I wish to remove the current Shiny Sapphire and take the position."
Random Mountwyrm: "I wish everyone had a thousand more [coins]!"

Tick 12: Rage, ramblings, and restlesness

Valkiss has been struck down this (half-)tick! The perpetrator is still unknown, but probably not an outsider to the Bubble. As a reaction to this death, Fusil and Joha have sealed Dar-MA-Gome's remaining Essence in a hidden vessel in case he ever awakens.

Cim's Code of Conduct, which places restrictions on what gods can do to other gods' creations, has come under attack for interfering in the affairs of the gods. While just about every god wants personal creations not to be modified or manipulated, it seems that almost none of them want the Council to enforce this.  Few would deny the usefulness of a Code of Conduct with revised terms.

Anath has created the Termitia beneath the shallow settlements of the Star Elves.

Varee has attempted to inflict multiple natural disasters on the worlds. Fusil and Cim have blocked them from happening. This prompts a bizarre discussion of Rule-ettes, which are probably like some sort of mini-codes-of-conduct. ;) Further into the discussion, Varee has not-so-subtly threatened the worlds with meteoric bombardment, which no one seems to notice.

Serac has declared the oceans to be neutral sanctuaries for those fleeing the war. The Sorae will remain neutral unless attacked. Joha has made a similar declaration, and the Keshan Wood Elves have, of their own accord, begun overgrowing their forests to thicken the barrier between war and their settlements. She has also visited them in person to advise them to stay out of the war. Artisanii seems to hold a similar opinion and continues to inspire various mortals, which has a minor but noticeable effect in reducing war zeal on all sides. Anath has also issued a recommendation of neutrality to his various creations.

The Light has encouraged the continuation of the ministry of the devoted Luminees. They spread shrines of The Light in many major settlements.

The Yaos seem to be harboring the dangerous belief that they have absolute command over humanity. As Cim would say regarding corrupt judicial agents or Anath would say regarding the dawn and sunrise or Fusil regarding followers fighting each other, this is not necessarily the case. They have also created controlled Humanos Grandes for people to drive.

The angels of Azem seem to have increased the influence of trade immensely. Almost all land-based trade on Slytha passes through the followers of Azem's massive trade network. A significant proportion on Keshan passes through the many hands of factions of Azem's followers. Their wealth is undeniable, and their control over trade is unshakeable.

Joha has constructed an artifact that burns life force to assist in the use of magic. She has also created Kifo, a unique Angel of DEATH.

Khaziraad's Golems continue to construct and assist in construction everywhere. Most do not seem to favor any particular side and construct solely for the sake of construction.

The Light has opened up the possibility of becoming colorchanging to Luminees willing to complete a quest from the Multiprism. For non-Luminees wishing to glow, he recommends applying glowing mushroom components (or, in the case of the Gruen, death-bound Luminee). He has also prohibited becoming larger than Yuvi, although it is doubtful that any mundane Luminee can actually do this. He has also healed some sick children with the aid of Yaos.

Azem, in a response to a bizarre inflation wish, has thrown down billions of silver coins into the oceans of Keshan. He is likely to be reprimanded for this minor act of pollution by Serac later. He also sent a trade caravan to a Slythan Wood Elf retreat with Tomal and Rubin. The results are not yet known. He later listens for some prayers from non-Mountwyrm followers:
Luminee: "I wish I could be as strong as a Mountwyrm in the heat."
Human: "I hope my investment pays off. Most of it's my parents' money."
Dwarf: "I wish to find the fabled weightless blue metal."
Star Dragon: "I wish I could have as many trinkets--I mean shinies--as a Gem Dragon."

Yaos has created a basic angel and attached it to a caravan due to visit Star Elves and Dragons for the purpose of opening up trade.

Grauel checks on the budding (pun intended) Gruen civilization and looks for ways to improve communication, cohesiveness and some degree of organization.
He also looks to see how exactly the Gruen are arming themselves, if at all.

... and I guess I'll listen to some of their prayers too since I don't do that very much.

"I won't listen to or do anything you say because you didn't donate to the proposal that would've awakened me!" >:I "You can give me 3 Essence if you want to apologise."

The only ones allowed inside the Human Plane are Yaos, her angels, and those dead who meet the requirements for entering. Anyone else is not allowed in unless they ask me for permission first.

@Fusil: "Heya Fusil! I was kinda wondering what it would take to perhaps get some of my best soldier some more fire weapons? The last one you made for us was really cool (hehe. geddit? cool? cos it's on fire? :'D) and getting something like that but, like, something that humans could use would be great. I only need about a hundred. Could you please do that for me Fusil? Pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase?" :) "I was also thinking of putting some kind of artillery on top of the big walls that protect the Empire. What do you suggest?"

@Grauel: "Hey, um, Grauel. Look, I know that you don't want us to go to war and I can understand; my Angel-Emperor and his army of angels, humans, and Humanos Grande would wipe the floor with your Gruen and your 'Devourer', but to tell you the truth, I don't want war either.
I want my children to grow and be free and happy in this wide open world but that can't happen while they're being eaten by Gruen, so here's what I propose: your Gruen are not allowed to eat any humans at all. Even Heretics who want to be eaten.
You see, Heretics like to make family and friends Heretics as well, and soon you have little children who also become Heretics and if I allow the Gruen to eat Heretics, that means I'm allowing little children to get eaten. I can't accept that. Please tell your Gruen to stop eating ALL humans and then we can be friends. Deal?"

@Joha: "Hey there girrrfrieeeeeeeen!" ;D "So I was wondering if you could get some of those wolf animals and make them smaller and friendlier and live as long as humans. I'm sure my people would really like some non-human life companions and they'd love the both of us for making that happen! They can even be of many shapes and sizes so some are big and some a small and some are shaggy and some have smooth fur and all that! It's also the perfect time to do it what with the Staff being active right now. What do you say?"

Yaos makes a very special human.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This human is 90% normal human and 10% angel and will have the Elemental attunement. It will be born a normal human that just so happens to have the Elemental attunement and for all intents and purposes is a normal human but there are some differences. One: it reincarnates upon death rather than going to the Human Plane, and the reincarnation cycle stays on Keshan. Two: when in mortal peril, this particular human can enter a state where its dormant angelic power is used, making the human more powerful. Any eyes or tattoos the human has glows white when in this state. Three: when in Angel State, the human gains all the techniques and experience of previous reincarnates. Four: Due to the angel present within the human, the human will almost certainly worship Yaos as a primary god. Five: the angel present within the human is an actual angel. Generic, except it has a name. Six: particularly spirital reincarnates are able to speak with the angel.
The angel's name is Ratu. The reincarnate is known as the Duondio.

"If your main quest is to fight the Gruen, I can see why fire is a valid choice for weapons. Fire swords, however, have limited application when fighting anything else. I will guide humanity in early sulfur and petroleum based arms, such as Greek Fire and BC incendiaries like burning pitch, if you wish. Such weaponry would create havoc among plant based life, while being more widely available and easily renewable. I am not the god of smiths, after all. As for the walls, you will have to field something cheap. I suggest not getting into protracted sieges against your enemy, they will devour all nearby food supply while the God of Hunger curses your men to starve. Catapults would allow you to throw cheap  or burning material if necessary, though if they get close you will have to stick to dropping burning material from your walls to ward them off."

"As for you, god of Hunger, is there any particular weapon you would like me to guide your men into making? I cannot look one sided in this, the most profit in arms often comes from playing both sides. Certainly, it would be easy to improve their natural talents using arms."

"I will send Silahato do so at once. Generally, such weapons work better as a point, bows and spears and other such non-bladed weapons. Using the mouths of fallen Gruen, we could no doubt create interesting weapons. As for the living one's mouths, carved bone into serrated teeth-like objects should increase their biting power substantially, if designed right. With all the variety of Gruen, you may be able to use some of the tougher steel-like ones to make higher quality arms, possibly even blades if you desire it. No doubt some have poison that can be utilized as well, either with the bows or with wooden or thorn blow darts."

"With their strength and ability for amazing range, large bows (Now dubbed "Greatbows"), they would easily be capable of staying out of the range of most enemies while dealing an amazing amount of damage.

"By destroying you followers, blasting your temples, and finishing by having you beg for mercy. I might kill you if you go too far, leaving only a distant memory. Your essence will bleed away until you are either dead or a quivering pile of pathetic mess. In case you haven't noticed, your stupid laws are not well liked. You are not well liked. Killing me wouldn't change that. The rest of the Gods at least see me as useful right now, while you they see as a petty annoyance. Certainly, if they do not aid me, they will at least be content in shooting down your dumb laws should you somehow triumph."

"Now if you will excuse me, I am done talking of dead laws, and as you can see everyone else is too. A weapon god is busy during wartime, and I still have a feast to plan."

See now, you both keep talking like you could easily wipe the floor with the other. I can appreciate the hesitance you both share for a direct confrontation but if you both fail to carry through on what you say, it'll become progressively hard to take anyone seriously. Clearly verbal debates are not achieving the desired effect for either one of you. This is most likely one of those situations where you are both better off to just stop talking about all the horrible things you can do and actually do them.

100 slightly-larger-than-regular-human-size flamethrowers are made. 100 slightly-larger-than-regular-human-size armour sets are made as well. 10 large jars of Greek Fire are produced and will be used by the Menos Controlados as grenades.

The Inner Wall of the Empire is equipped with a catapult. On firing, it's found that the catapult is just too high up and the ammo drops too slowly for anything besides a truly large amount of troops to be hit. On top of that, its effective range isn't very good. It can certainly shoot far but not with any modicum of accuracy what with the low ammo speed.

"Fusil, your catapult idea isn't working. Do you know of any artillery that can shoot further and has faster-moving ammo?"

Part of me would find the God of Betrayal dying from betrayal satisfyingly ironic. That's almost like me getting eaten.

Anyway, I am tired of this conversation. I was simply stating that you should both stop throwing around threats if you don't intend to do anything. There's only so many ways you can describe how you intend to burn the enemy's lands to the ground, destroy their followers and cast them down before it becomes rather dry. Then you have Cim's threats which are so vague he might as well not even be making them. It really has reached that point. Just about anything either one of you could have said to change anything has in fact been said. Either forget about it or do something about it.

Anath:
"I wish I could see a Night Dragon up close. That would be so cool!"
"I wish the war would stop taking up so much of our food."
"I wish I could have a pet Cave Nox."

Joha: Kifo finds the caravan, and the typical raiders seem to be averse to attacking. You also listen to some prayers:
"I want to live forever."
"I hope the Angel of DEATH will be nice to my father when he dies."
"I wish these new bubble-shaped flowers would actually grow. I've already tried a lot, but no matter how I change them, they're still dying."
"I want to become a grim soldier at the front lines of the war. Then, I'll chop through the enemies as if they're just pine cones."

Azem:
Human: The human's enterprise succeeds! She manages to open a thriving lamp store in a Luminee settlement.
Dwarves: Horrifying screams come from the darkness below! It turns out to be an overly eager Termitian trade/scouting party.

Grauel: After examining Gruen civilization closely, it appears that the main limiting factor preventing the Gruens from coalescing into one or a few empires  is that many think they are powerful enough even with smaller states because of their secret feeding plans, which comprise a significant proportion of Gruen fighting. As you listen closely, you hear the following prayers:
"I want to stay at home and not have to fight in the war."
"I want to eat many people and become stronger in the war."
"I want to sample a hundred different plants to see what they can do."
"I wish for a way to become much bigger quickly."

Azem: You examine Mountwyrm civilization closely, paying attention to what it needs most to grow. The exclusive greed of those making decisions is inhibiting their growth, and an increased focus on attaining direct power may be more helpful at this point.

Yaos:
"I want to be the best at being a god and staying a god!"
"But I really wanted a coat of topaz scales."
"They stink and their skin glows and they like that heretic god of lights."
"Thank you for providing our family with jelly rolls." "I will be sure to sacrifice the youngest to a Gruen."
"Thank you for letting me go with the caravans, I guess."
"But I don't want to work hard! Being a general is just yelling nothing anyone can understand at the soldiers!"

WARNING: Making your very special humangel is likely to result in permadeath. Are you sure you wish to continue?

(Joha: -0E)

Joha: You give the humans some Star elf-bred dogs.

Fusil: You introduce incendiary weapons to the humans. It seems to be the consensus that the Gruen, who are extremely adaptable, have not yet developed a reasonable defense against fire. You also teach the Gruen about creating weapons from their own flesh and the Mountwyrms on the use of bows from flight.

Varee: You and the Dwarves exchange drinks. The Dwarves enjoy your specific booze and request more of it. You may or may not enjoy their highly concentrated drinks.

Yaos: You order the construction of arms for an incendiary squad.

Kli: Kli declares neutrality and listens to prayers:
"I wish I could win all the debates at the School."
"I want to know more about the Void."
"I wish for the war not to happen so that nothing bad happens."

Varee: You teach the random human how to use an addictive hallucinogen. It catches on.

Tick 12.5: Slippery subterfuges

The gods have continued their debates as tensions rise and war becomes increasingly inevitable. They have also increased the number of prayers they answer, which may or may not be related to the increasing tension.

Joha has introduced Star elf-bred dogs to the humans. The dogs are hugely successful and soon come in every common flavor/breed.

Fusil has taught a few races on the use of weapons. This has been fairly successful.

Varee has introduced an addictive hallucinogen to a human. He has also caused it to rain booze in Dwarven fortresses and snow hallucinogens in human towns.

Azem has advised Alprozem not to accept any offers of godhood.

Kli has begun to address the concerns of a worried human at the Keshan Tree. He says "But the emperor commands it. If they find me here, they'll probably at least force me into the army."

An orphaned human has begun accumulating a large following of those opposed to fighting and the use of weapons. They name themselves the Breaker Knights, and their belief enchants the shields they carry, which now severely damage weapons and barely affect mortals. They seem to be particularly angry at Fusil.

This update's dominant constellations are the Dagger and the Gravestone. The Keshan aurora are particularly intense.

Create a moon orbiting world A, and create a portal in World A conecting to the moon and located in original golem settlement. The moon will have thin atmosphere and much vulcaninc activity caused by great ammounts of heavy chemical elements contained in it's composition. If I have enough esense for that, do the same for World B.

In the future, though, please restrain your tongue, when you want to force something out of your friends. Remember that your humans are always welcome in the courts of Light. I am of good will and peace."

Send 1 essence to Yaos.

"But I really wanted a coat of topaz scales."
"They stink and their skin glows and they like that heretic god of lights."
"Thank you for providing our family with jelly rolls." "I will be sure to sacrifice the youngest to a Gruen."
"Thank you for letting me go with the caravans, I guess."
"But I don't want to work hard! Being a general is just yelling nothing anyone can understand at the soldiers!"

"Congratulations! You are honorary god of jelly donuts! You will always be honorary god of jelly donuts even after you die and go to the afterlife! So long as you worship me though. You can't stay god without the afterlife and you can't have the afterlife if you don't worship me." :/ "But it's something!" :D
"Ok then. Go to the cave of the nearest Gem Dragon and I will help you win the fight. If you tell anyone I'm helping you, I'll just let you get eaten. Dunno if by Gem Dragon or by Gruen." I will not help him at all. Let him be just another idiot trying to steal the hoard of a Gem Dragon.
"..." The one who issued this prayer gets lost in the woods. As they're close to dying, he sees a Luminee's glow which allows him (or her) to find safety and live. Unfortunately, they are both very far away from civilisation, and so it's a long time before they get home. On the way, the human learns to value her (or his) Luminee companion, and falls in love. Then they live happily ever after, I guess.

I was wondering, perhaps, if your servants can introduce something similar to what hey have done for our eyes, except for our ears? It would be really cool if you did." :)

The Angel-Emperor of Mankind sends a message to every human telepathicly in the Empire using psionics. He does so and can do so with the help of his Universal attunement, the generic angels with him, and some psi wizards. The message is simply is thus:
No human will be forced to fight the Gruen. All members of the military will have to fight them, of course, but joining the military is entirely a voluntary decision. I will explain now that the war against the Gruen is one of NECESSITY. The Gruen are literally EATING the members of our proud race - and even worse - converting some of our own into unholy HERETICS. Heretics, I shall add, that sacrifice their CHILDREN just for a shred of power, and who even EAT THEM. If you, brave humans of the Empire of Man, choose to let that happen, that is your choice. But if you want to protect your FRIENDS! Your FAMILY! Your entire RACE! Then join the fight on the side of YAOS! Hail Yaos! HAIL HUMANITY!

Spoiler: Imperial Inquisitors (click to show/hide)

The militant branch of the Church of Yaos and organised by the Angel-Emperor, they find and hunt down Heretics.

Yaos enhances the combat of 100 devout human warriors, making them slightly bigger than normal. They will be given the first 100 flamethrowers, as well as their usual melee weapons. They will be the Angel-Emperor's own Paladins: righteous warriors who fight in the front lines against the Gruen and other enemies of the Empire, right alongside the Angel-Emperor of Mankind. They also have heavier armour to complement their increased bulk.

An orphaned human has begun accumulating a large following of those opposed to fighting and the use of weapons. They name themselves the Breaker Knights, and their belief enchants the shields they carry, which now severely damage weapons and barely affect mortals. They seem to be particularly angry at Fusil.

It would not take any effort or essence to pit non-servants against each other, so blaming the gods for what their servants done is just stupid.

The Inner Wall of the Empire is equipped with a catapult. On firing, it's found that the catapult is just too high up and the ammo drops too slowly for anything besides a truly large amount of troops to be hit. On top of that, its effective range isn't very good. It can certainly shoot far but not with any modicum of accuracy what with the low ammo speed.

(Sorry I forgot this!)

"You are supposed to but the catapults behind the wall. Butting artillery on the wall makes them vulnerable to fire, literally and figuratively. Catapults fire over the wall, while it and its keepers are safe and impossible to hit. That should fix most of your problems with it. Of course it still will not be very accurate, as it *is* mean to fight armies rather than individuals. Having your men with ranged weapons on the walls help direct volleys will help with that."

A catapult is placed behind the wall. It tends to hit the actual wall most of the time until it gets moved back far enough and placed on a hill. It still hits the wall a few times and it doesn't go over the walls enough to not hit any Humanos Grande that would stand on top of it. The accuracy is a joke.

Grauel: After examining Gruen civilization closely, it appears that the main limiting factor preventing the Gruens from coalescing into one or a few empires  is that many think they are powerful enough even with smaller states because of their secret feeding plans, which comprise a significant proportion of Gruen fighting. As you listen closely, you hear the following prayers:
"I want to stay at home and not have to fight in the war."
"I want to eat many people and become stronger in the war."
"I want to sample a hundred different plants to see what they can do."
"I wish for a way to become much bigger quickly."

The first gruen is made into a house.
The second is made hungrier, stronger, and faster.
The third is given 100 different plants to eat.
The fourth is made into a giant lumbering gruen.

Pale blue-green mushrooms that grow near sites where lots of death has taken place. Ingestion nearly always means a drawn-out and painful death, an hour or two even if ingested in very small quantities, at least without divine intervention. Poisoning by it causes both the body to decay and the soul's attachment to that world to fall away.

A parasitic flowering vine that can grow on nearly any life-form. Mostly unobtrusive, but occasionally can cause pain. Accumulates and stores magical energy, which can be withdrawn rather easily, especially by the host.

(AOT walls-50 meters. The velocity it takes to get 25 meter in height (25=xsin(45) assuming you are firing at a 45 degree angle)=35~M/s. Just use a bigger catapult and smaller projectiles, obviously. The physics is supposed to be kind of wonky anyway, just triple the size of your catapult while keeping the projectiles the same size.)

(There's just no way I can get you to give me cannons, is there? :P I always thought the AoT walls were about 60 metres in height. In any case, mine are 30 metres. I'll do the thing you said, regardless.)

A bigger catapult is used but the accuracy still sucks. The project is scrapped entirely because making hundreds (or possibly thousands) of catapults of such size would take a long time to build, possibly an even longer time to get into position, making and loading the ammunition is a bitch, and it's so hard to hit anything with them it's not even worth it.

(There's just no way I can get you to give me cannons, is there? :P I always thought the AoT walls were about 60 metres in height. In any case, mine are 30 metres. I'll do the thing you said, regardless.)

A bigger catapult is used but the accuracy still sucks.

"I have decided to let the mortal races develop on their own, starting with early technologies and allowing themselves to improve themselves over time. I have already advanced the incendiary warfare to a thousand or so BC level, jumping to gunpowder weapons immediately would be a massive change in the world that I would want to run by the other gods at the very least. Ill let them discover it on their own. As for the artillery, you clearly do not understand the tactical purpose of it. Artillery of this time was meant for taking positions, not keeping them. And it was definitely not meant to hit single targets, as you seem to think. I gave you catapults because you asked for them, not because you needed them. The bows and crossbows you already possess are the best defense your walls can have, even if for some reason you wanted to put ballista they are simply overkill for anti-personal weapons while taking more time to aim and fire. Just make your wall so that archers and crossbowmen can fire through slits, and add some place to drop jars of fire onto enemies when they get close. Besides all that, pre-gunpowder warfare heavily favors the defenders. If I gave you cannons, the Gruen would also get cannons, making your walls far less effective than they are now."

(Khaziraad: -7E)
Khaziraad: You create a geologically violent moon with a thin, possibly toxic atmosphere  around both Keshan and Slytha. It contains a high concentration of heavy (and radioactive) elements, which your golems will find useful and can tolerate easily.

Kli: "But I want to stay with the Hummingbirds. They have been kind and understanding of my dissent."

Yaos:
"God" of jelly donuts: "That's not godhood! That's extortion!"
Dragon slayer wannabe has been struck down
The anti-Luminee human now cares little about Luminee-ness..This is a satisfactory conclusion for the Luminee mate and half-Luminee children.
The family with the jelly rolls attempt to resist the Inquisitors and are killed for their trouble. They die cursing you.
The human wishing to join the caravan has now joined a band of traveling entertainers.
The human wanting to become a god of Conquest has joined the Barrier Knights solely to spite you and Fusil.

The people are slightly disturbed by your overly enthusiastic speech.

(Yaos: -1E)
You enhance the combat ability of your future Paladins/incendiary squad.

The Slytha humans are doing quite well. Even though trade almost exclusively passes through the tight grip of the Gem Council, they manage to find wealth and employment everywhere. Gruen cults have led to superhumans with some level of Gruen abilities (but little tolerance for the laws against Gruen cultists).

Finally, you make the Festival of Mystic Snow (read: addictive hallucinogens raining down) a yearly event with Varee. This will reduce your Essence income by a near-negligible amount.

(Cim: Vote counted)
(The Light: -3E)

The Light: You create the Brightingale, a bird spirit of justice and healing with the ability to grow slightly in power with each dream appearance. This is a rather selfless act, as you gain very little compared to Joha and Cim.

Serac:
Sorae: "I wish there were some way to stop the war from happening."
Ritan: "I want sea unicorns to exist."
Sorae: "I wish our turtles would grow faster."
Ritan: "I wish I could find out more about the Void."

(Artisanii: -1E)
Artisanii: You create Inspheration*, a dense ball radiating divine inspiration, in the Great Shrine. Many great mortal artists make regular pilgrimages to be near it.

(Grauel: -0E)
Grauel:
First Gruen: "Thank you! I won't forget this. I'll make sure to eat silly hostiles inside."
Second Gruen: "Thank you, Lord. I leave now to fight for our right to devour the weak and plentiful."
Third Gruen: "'ank 'ou. I wan't [sic] 'e 'ored 'or weeks."
Fourth Gruen: "This should do. Thanks!"

(Joha: -4E)
The now-immortal wood elf will now forever remain young. This may or may not actually be good for mental health.
Kifo is already a polite, courteous psychopomp. This continues to be the case when the mentioned father dies.
You work with the inventive wood elf to create a variety with bubble-shaped flours that can actually grow. This consumes no Essence.
You allow the wood elves on Keshan to defend themselves. Finally, you create the highly toxic morbid mushrooms* and magic vines, which become a highly illegal and highly powerful tool for mages in various places.

In other news, a band of rampaging Barrier Knights have burnt down a shrine dedicated to Fusil. This had the unfortunate side-effect of burning down the rest of the human town in which it was located after they left, causing nearly a hundred deaths. Has the release of the sphere of Treachery merely redistributed it to affect all the gods?

"Think of it as...'training wheels. Once you handle your newfound on your own you can stop worshipping me and get worshippers on your own. Godhood is a lot harder than it sounds. Here's everything I need to know just to make one human..." I then proceed to shove into his brain literally every single molecule and atom and ounce of free will, plus every individual iota of soulstuff needed to make a human, and I do so in great detail. Why I DON'T do is give him a brain that is capable of handling the many yottabytes involved in doing so. The result should be my "accidentally" mind-crushing him.

The Barrier Knights have orders to hand over the perpetrators of the mass murder or be officially declared a terrorist group. If they refuse, I get to see the effectiveness of the Paladins' flamethrowers.

(Actually, no, that's not what I was talking about, and no, not all colours are territories. A1, for example, represents water, not Sorae (whatever the hell they are) and I5 represents forest (I think), not Gruen. Mountwyrm territory (in orange) is in J13. The desert I'm talking about is stuff like what's on O4 or P4.)

"Really? I only heard him say that he created the Breaker Knights and that he moved a single pebble. I'm guessing that the creation of the Breaker Knights was what he meant by his moving the pebble and we still don't know for sure if that single band of Breaker Knights were acting alone or with the blessing of the rest. We'll find out soon enough once I get a response from them. Just be patient."

"Moving a single pebble was ordering them to attack my troops. Him using the butterfly method to do so does not effect its impact. He did not deny my accusations of him ordering them to attack me, simply bragged about having done so. You are blind or foolish to think otherwise."

" "That incident"? By "that incident", do you mean how Gruens ate humans? Because "that incident" has been happening ever since the Gruens first met humans and has continued to happen even unto this very day! I am simply taking Grauel's advice of making my followers a hard enough meal to eat to not bother with it. Obviously I have been too gentle on the Gruen because they continue to eat humans! Unlike your Mountwyrms, humans can't simply fly away whenever danger arrives and they weren't made with the same capacity for fighting that the Mountwyrms have. Finally, total annihilation of the Gruens is not my objective - my objective is simply to fight them until they decide that eating humans is a bad idea. My motives are pure."

To elaborate, the delegate asks the Mountwyrms to speak to the Gruen about a peace treaty. Since they are trade partners it is expected that they will have a better chance at succeeding in peace talks. This war isn't good for anyone: humans getting eaten, Gruen getting killed, Mountwyrms losing their trading partner and locking themselves out of gaining another...it's just bad for everyone.

Create a pulsating monolith of crystalline light, pulling very devout followers of the Light towards it to construct a city glorifying the Light. Believers of other Faiths WILL be allowed, but acts of blasphemy towards the light will be dealt with by blinding them, and forcing them to work in the agricultural complexes of the town.

This monolith will be placed on an island with rock and metal and wood, in world A. The Monolith will be called the Arrow of Light.

Listen in to the prayers of your most intelligent followers.

"Oh friends, please do not indulge in war. Oh followers stay out of the war by any means, unless it tears you apart deep inside."

(I would respond to those comments if they were IC but they appear to be OOC and I'm not getting involved in an OOC debate. I'm asking sincerely that we all try and keep these debates IC. It's a game and is supposed to be fun. I think we all need to remind ourselves to make a distinction between our characters and ourselves and realize quarrels between our characters are not also between us. It is an RP game after all. I wouldn't get mad at someone crushing me in the Dominions (strategy) game I'm currently playing because in that game you all play as gods and the intent is to win and I view this as somewhat similar but with more focus on the RP and personal interactions (friendships and oppositions between the gods). I also probably wouldn't be leading a ferocious cult of carnivorous plants in real life. Keep that in mind :P. Also... this is clogging up the IC thread when it should be in the OOC thread.)

"I wonder how you followers will react, Grauel, now that they know the reason behind the war and how easy it would be for them to get out of it without further death on their side."

Random Gruen: "Thank you, Lord. I leave now to fight for our right to devour the weak and plentiful."
I believe most if not all already know and embrace the war and its reasons. I admit I may be somewhat hypocritical for letting the Gruen eat humans and even pushing them to do so while explicitly helping to defend other races that were their natural prey. However it is worth considering that at that time, there were not such massive numbers of any of those races and I did not wish to drive any of them to extinction so early in the world's creation. That was not likely to be an issue with humans with the meager few thousand Gruen that existed before the start of the war compared to the huge human population.

The other issue here is that I ordered the Gruen to eat humans in general because they are plentiful but you took it as a direct attack on you worshipers which is was not intended as. You responded by a direct attack on mine while ordering me on how to conduct my affairs which I find unacceptable. Furthermore even your later attempts at "peace" were stained by obvious contempt and mocking comments such as "I know you don't want to have this was because my guys will mop the floor with yours". After all that, I see no reason to seek peace between us until you learn at least a modicum of respect for other gods and realize that you do not have sole propriety over something you did not actually create, regardless of whether or not the creation in question is linked to your sphere.

I do not plan on destroying you like the God of War wishes to destroy Cim and neither do I plan to wipe our your followers or the humans completely. I personally feel that the destruction of a few followers is not reason enough to annihilate another god, especially when you consider they all get reincarnated anyway and will probably go on to live further satisfying and happy lives. That said, I do plan on providing a very harsh lesson on what I am capable of doing when insulted by a new god who seems to arrogantly think he can easily swipe me aside while simultaneously insulting me and directly intervening to harm my creations.

Create "Irrlichts" self reproducing spirits that "live" in the swamps to trick people into sinking in. Followers of the faith know them as Lights of Treachery.

Inspire a follower of the god of weapons to construct a Mechanism of Mirrors and glasses to bundle light as a weapon against wooden constructs.

Create a spirit to reach out into peoples dreams to inspire them to great works of art. He likes to dwell in Artisaani shrines and is named Light of Inspiration. Being granted inspiration requires a pure heart, interest in the arts and will slightly increase the thoughts on the Light as well as Artisaaani.

Tick 13i, Day 13.5: Tumultuous turmoil and terrific terrors (as of 6 hours ago)

Azem converses with Kifo, Angel of DEATH. They have a nice conversation about interesting mortals and jelly rolls. Kifo has challenged Azem to join a friendly game of Clue with Yaos, Joha, Fusil, and Grauel.

(Joha: Yes, ACK.)

Artisanii: The Muses complain that happy, peaceful themes are currently under-represented in mortal works. One Muse focused on comedy theater complains about a coastal village of Luminee that has consistently produced horror material for several generations. A few Muses complain about the recent increase in pantomime as a result of a Muse specialized in performance art. Some paint-specialized Muses request your permission to assist some mortals in painting a picture of a building with too many angles.

The Yaos have crushed a random human's mind using his own Belief. Additionally, it appears that people were confused about the authorship of a slightly over-enthusiastic speech, given that they believed that the Yaos themselves wrote it. Instead, it appears that the Angel-Emperor wrote it in a bout of uncharacteristic excitement. The laws of Yaos seem to be much more strict on Keshan than on Slytha, and the attention of Yaos seems to be focused on Keshan anyway. Finally, they have issued an ultimatum to the effect that the Breaker Knights send their leaders to human authorities or be declared a terrorist group. Given their ability to disintegrate weapons, it seems unlikely that they will respond favorably, but it is more likely that they will lay low lest they be arrested and Questioned.

The recent Breaker Knight attacks appear to have provoked the wrath of Fusil for their near-surgical foundation as an anti-weapon group.

Artisanii: You inspire a great playwright to create a play about the imminent war. The playwright produces Theolysis, an epic known for its portrayal of horrific brutality. It appears the playwright already was inspired by nightmares about the subject.

Serac: The near-shore Sorae have all commanded their island turtles to move out to sea. The volume of sea trade declines immensely, but the war will almost surely be unable to affect them now.

Yaos: You take the form of a human and wander in a human town, paying attention to what they want or need. They seem to want:

• Food and water, because many of them live in rocky wastes
• Entertainment on non-Mystic Snow days. The demand for entertainment seems to be increasing steadily with the number of Festivals.
• Land, because having multiple heirs is becoming more common

You also send the Gruen a peace offer with the condition that they stop eating humans. They probably ate the message or something.

Artisanii: You spread the Art of the Voice to all the races and give some exceptional individuals the Gift of the Gab. (-0E)

This update's dominant constellations are the Hammer and the Ship. The Keshan aurora are so intense that the red oxygen emissions at the top are clearly visible.

(The Light: -4E)

The Light: You create the Arrow of Light on an island with enough resources on Keshan. It slowly attracts Luminee and they soon form a small town. Additionally, you create the Irrlichts, which trick people into dangerous locations in swamps. You also listen to your Luminaries, and this is what they are praying:
"Would that The Light would explain his teachings more explicitly and literally! We have been debating at the School for several weeks with barely any food or rest and are no closer to a satisfactory conclusion."
"If this long illusion spell works, I'll be the best mime in the world. I hope The Light will recognize this as more than just heresy as the others did."
"I wish the School were more accessible to the average person. All we have right now is a bunch of overly old Luminaries who think we still live in an age of copper and bone-clubs."
You also inspire a random follower of Fusil to build the Burning Mirrors in a Luminee town. Near noon, they can easily set fire to sufficiently close wooden objects. Finally, you create a spirit of inspiration to assist Artisanii in inspiring mortals.

Khaziraad: A group of architects and builders have created a small temple dedicated to you and Architecture during their idle days. The stonework is extremely detailed. As for prayers, you are not very well known among the unaligned, but those who do know you think very highly of you.
"May Khaziraad bless this house and extend its life."
"I want to teach children about the joys of building, but the blocks they have cannot attach reversibly. How may I do that, O Grand Architect?"
"The local ruler wants a tomb in the shape of a squared pile of sand. I have already made plans for it. Bless this endeavor, O Khaziraad, that it may succeed."

The Muses complain that happy, peaceful themes are currently under-represented in mortal works.

I could fix this, send some inspiration to the Mortal Artists for peaceful themes. Bless a few to encourage them.

Quote

One Muse focused on comedy theater complains about a coastal village of Luminee that has consistently produced horror material for several generations.

"This is important. Throughout my endeavors with the Mortal Realm, I have found that a certain coastal village of Luminee has been plagued with what seems to be nightmares for a long time. I can only presume the Void is behind this. Thoughts?"

Quote

A few Muses complain about the recent increase in pantomime as a result of a Muse specialized in performance art.

"Then why are you not working harder to tip the balance? Plays and Theatrical Works require multiple people and the ability to write and memorize well. The odds are stacked in your favor. If needed, I might inspire the world not to do pantomime."

Quote

Some paint-specialized Muses request your permission to assist some mortals in painting a picture of a building with too many angles.

Permission granted. You may use the divine library if needed, but no matter what, never use the Void for inspiration!

(Artisanii: Vote counted)

Artisanii: You inspire and bless the mortals to produce more peaceful works. The Muses who complained about the lack of peaceful are now satisfied. The Muse who complained about the rise of pantomime is currently working to undermine the Miming Muse by inspiring mortals with grander ideas. This may eventually turn into a friendly rivalry of sorts.

The Muses of painting help the mortal painters create an unsettling painting of an old, crumbling temple with far too many angles. It is nauseating for mortals to look at.

(Also, Varee's nightmare spirits came after the nightmares at the coastal village.)

Inspire the prophet to note down the following message. The message shall be brought by the Light of Inspiration.
"
All is necessary, all is one.
Under the light, each leads to wisdom.
Even the absence of light, sparks an idea.

If you ignite, the light of the friend
a thousand lights be lit
If you ignite, the light of the enemy
a clashing fight of wit

If you shine in armour
a light to blind the foe
you wear the light in peace time
to brighten high and low

when born, the light it shows you
the face of mother dear
in death, a light will guide you
the next live, have no fear.

Chaotic lights will guide you
to follow deepest dreams
The light of order holds you
to stay sharp and so keen

The scorching light of sun
bringing hunger where its hot
it relieves the masses
when water is a lot

Inspiring you the lights here,
their vision teaching you
in future one returns here
to bring a message new"

I then turn to the illusionist and tell him: "Go to a shrine of Artiisaani and they will inspire you if your will is pure."

Turn to the prophet and tell him that the school should teach complex thought to the general populous once a week, and that anybody may enter the academy on certain dates to take part in the debates.

Bless a Luminee with the light of Charisma and appear in his dream. "Mortal go find the Golems and ask them to help build a glorious tower in the City of Light. This tower shall bring light to the city and out onto the ocean. Tell them that it will be a grandiose monument to architecture and the Light.

Tell the Luminee of the Horror Drama city, the city is called "Lichterloh" to start cultivating papyrus in the local swamps. Cultivate one creative member of the village so he may know how to write down the dramas and historical happenings.

Quote from: gman8181 on October 24, 2014, 09:23:55 am

The other issue here is that I ordered the Gruen to eat humans in general because they are plentiful but you took it as a direct attack on you worshipers which is was not intended as. You responded by a direct attack on mine while ordering me on how to conduct my affairs which I find unacceptable. Furthermore even your later attempts at "peace" were stained by obvious contempt and mocking comments such as "I know you don't want to have this was because my guys will mop the floor with yours". After all that, I see no reason to seek peace between us until you learn at least a modicum of respect for other gods and realize that you do not have sole propriety over something you did not actually create, regardless of whether or not the creation in question is linked to your sphere.

"I admit that I have been disrespectful in my earlier mannerisms and I apologise for them. I'm not sure how else I can convey respect in my young age so I guess I will have to leave it at an apology, unless you have any ideas. As for my "sole propriet" which you claim I do not have, I agree. But only in the same way that a mother or father does not have propriety over their child, or more accurately, how a man does not have propriety over his right hand because it is not his property, rather it is him. Humans are not merely linked to my sphere, they are my sphere and more than that, I am a literal manifestation of their existence, their godly self. As such, I care for all humans regardless of who they worship, save for those who harm other humans.
I wouldn't mind so much that they worship Gruen even except that they allow themselves to be eaten. Even THAT I would merely disapprove of but still allow, but then they convert other humans - including their own family mind you - and as such more humans simply allow themselves to be eaten. That is why I go after Heretics.
Oh and I did actually make my own humans using the Essence from 3.00 - after donating of course - so some might say that I do in fact have propriety. I am not one of those people who think I should claim propriety over them because, as I have explained, I basically AM all humans, but still.

Quote from: gman8181 on October 24, 2014, 09:23:55 am

I do not plan on destroying you like the God of War wishes to destroy Cim and neither do I plan to wipe our your followers or the humans completely. I personally feel that the destruction of a few followers is not reason enough to annihilate another god, especially when you consider they all get reincarnated anyway and will probably go on to live further satisfying and happy lives. That said, I do plan on providing a very harsh lesson on what I am capable of doing when insulted by a new god who seems to arrogantly think he can easily swipe me aside while simultaneously insulting me and directly intervening to harm my creations.

"And I do not wish to destroy you, Grauel. Deicide is a major crime that I doubt any one of us would sink to. We are of course so few in number and our deaths would surely wreak havoc on the world, as demonstrated by the upsurge in treachery since Valkiss' death.
I also do not wish to wipe out your followers completely, I am simply taking your advice on how to make humans impractical meals to eat. I took that advice literally seeing as how I have failed to come up with any other option to settle this that DOESN'T result in more humans getting devoured. Again, I do apologise for my earlier rudeness and I hope we can put that behind us. I will not, however, end my war on the Gruen until they agree to cease the devouring of humans. On that point I will not concede.

Finally, they have issued an ultimatum to the effect that the Breaker Knights send their leaders to human authorities or be declared a terrorist group. Given their ability to disintegrate weapons, it seems unlikely that they will respond favorably, but it is more likely that they will lay low lest they be arrested and Questioned.

((That's not at all what I wanted. I only wanted the Breaker Knights responsible for lighting a town on fire and killing 100 civilians to be brought to justice. If one or all of the leaders were involved in the attack then sure I would want them brought in but ONLY if they were there doing the fire-ing and the killing.))

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 24, 2014, 10:36:34 am

Yaos: You take the form of a human and wander in a human town, paying attention to what they want or need. They seem to want:

• Food and water, because many of them live in rocky wastes
• Entertainment on non-Mystic Snow days. The demand for entertainment seems to be increasing steadily with the number of Festivals.
• Land, because having multiple heirs is becoming more common

Hmm, land is easy enough to get, but how do I get food, water, entertainment? Entertainment should be easy with my powers but doing the most obvious thing would probably be breaking the game's PG13+ rating. What else can my human powers be used to create entertainment...... Acrobats? Humanos Grande rides? Sports? This is hard. Maybe Artisanii can help.
"Hey Artisanii, my people are bored. Can you think of anything I can do to make them happier?
While I'm waiting for a response from Artisanii, I create the world's first travelling circus by inspiring a few exceptionally agile people to hone their abilities and show off to people in exchange for money. I also expect them to pick up some other people with different acts to entertain the crowd.
I also organise some more informal forms of fun-making like roughhousing, ball-playing, and foot-racing, into more organised events, thus inventing wrestling, soccer, and....foot races, I guess.
I encourage some humans to seek inspiration at a temple of Artisanii that they may make their homes a happier place for all.
To solve the issue of land, I inspire some people with great leadership skills to gather a very large group and move out to settle new land. Specifically, they will settle K7, J3, and L1. Once settled in, encourage them to find temples of Kharizaad or perhaps golems to help build cities and roads to connect them to the other cities.

I give more incentive for being a devout worshipper of Yaos. Aside from the usual increased magical potential that comes default with devoutly worshipping any god, worshipping me will also increase physical potential. Basically, by worshipping me, devout followers have their physical human limitations removed so that they can continue to get stronger, faster, etc. so long as they keep on training and worshipping me. ((This grants all devout followers the ability to gain Charles Atlas Superpowers (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharlesAtlasSuperpower). Warriors, strongmen, athletes, etc. will probably want to worship me more now. This'll be great in terms of athletes because they're pretty much celebrities and everyone wants to be like celebrities and if celebrities are devout, they'll try to be devout as well.))

"Blessed are those who build, blessed twice shall be those that teach how to"

Grant the worshiper who wants to teach a miniaturised set of building materials. This mini building kit will act in all ways as actual building materials would work, except for that the details that would be too smal to properly use (like nails) substituted by items sticking to eachother. After a structure is built using the materials, they would return back to seperate pieces upon comand by the one that constructed the structure.

Create a set of symbols and runes, which when inscribed into a building in an apropriate place with apropriate item or crafted from apropriate material and inserted into a structure would make it: harder to destroy, better at heat insulation, better at water insulation, more resistant to corosive effects, etc. and grant the knowlege of apropriate symbols and their using rituals to all my curent worshipers who could be called builders of any kind.

"I grant you this knowledge as blessing. Use it to rise above your peers, to create sights of wonder and miracles of eficiency. Share the secret as you see fit, but make certain that they do not find their way into minds of those that would seek to undo your work"

Tick 14, Day 14: Underhanded Underlings

Anath's starter code of conduct has passed!

The Light has created the Arrow of Light, a monolith with the ability to attract potential followers, in a forested island on Keshan. Luminee have already begun arriving and have constructed the beginnings of a town. He has also composed an explanation of his teachings, instructed a mime to go to one of Artisanii's shrines, recommended that the prophet allow the general populace to learn at the Schools and join in their perpetual debate, guided a Luminee for the purpose of commissioning a Golem-built tower in the City of Light, and took an interest in Lichterloh, the village of horrors. The Light has also commanded a Luminee to introduce the concept of the Mechanism of Burning Light to the City of Light, which is still a small town.

Azem has encouraged the Mountwyrms on Slytha to try new ship designs. After a period of experimentation, they have begun widespread use and production of quadriremes, which lowers the barrier of entry rowers and reduces naval spending on training. On Keshan, Azem has sent some precious gems and Dwarven liquid bread to some nearby human settlements and an angel to preach the doctrine of Greed to the humans.

Yaos has introduced a variety of forms of entertainment and sports to the humans (and made recommendations for seeking out Artisanii instead) and encouraged settling the vast tracts of uninhabited land between towns. They have also attempted to provide incentives for worship by increasing physical potential through devotion. Your followers who have less urgent (and therefore, quieter) prayers have these things to say:
"I wonder what Yaos has to say about the Mystic Snow."
"Thank Yaos I got to eat a jelly roll instead of more roast rat today!"
"I gave a beggar a coin today. Yaos will be so happy!"
"I wonder if Yaos will find out that I was at The Light's temple instead last week."
"By Yaos! Rarr! Rarr! Nooo! I'm dead! I get to be the dragon next time!"

Khaziraad has created a set of miniaturized modeling materials. They behave much like real materials used for building but are easily and reversibly separable and thus teach a lot more about structural stability than wooden blocks. He has also created a set of building runes with the ability to improve various aspects of the building's construction when added to a building.


This update's dominant constellations are the Staff and Claw. The Keshan aurora are now less intense. The Slythan ice ring is prominent and visible.

OOC:
12.01 should not have been passed! It only got 7/13 gods supporting it which would equal to about 53% support which would normally pass it but it was being OPPOSED so the requirement to pass would mean that it would have needed at least 8/13 gods to support it at about 61%.
Subtitle needs to be changed and I didn't get an Essence increase from worship - I'm still at 5/20.

"It's ok to visit The Light. We're actually friends now. Just be sure to worship me if you want to get into the Human Plane." ;)

She just watches the children play and goes back to business.

She then secretly takes a piece of the spirit world and molds it into the Shadow Realm - a place of eternal suffering where the spirits of the damned walk freely (not an anime convention, btw). Any evil mortals who worshipped her primarily will go to the Shadow Realm and any evil spirits currently inhabiting the Human Plane will be discreetly sent there. The Shadow Realm is a secret to all mortals, angels, gods, etc. The Shadow Realm, like the Human Plane, is owned and controlled by Yaos herself.

With these words, Kli disappears with a sudden gust of wind, while blessing the human so that he would always be able to maintain Balance within himself. He leaves behind his symbol (an insignia of scales) in the air for a few seconds so the human would know that he has not been conversing with an ordinary Hummingbird.

Kli then returns to listening to other prayers.

I send in the Inquisitors with STRICT orders not to kill or even HARM the suspect. He probably doesn't even know he's committing heresy.

((I would like to make a note here that Inquisitors are NOT the traditional/historical/fictional inquisitors that are all evil and oppressive and just go around executing people. They exist because of a very tangible threat created by cannibalistic Heretics and it is their job to save as many humans as possible. They're just good people who worship Yaos and are trained in finding, imprisoning, questioning, and/or killing Heretics, and saving as many human lives as possible by doing so. The incident where they killed a family of Heretics was a result of being ambushed by them and not having enough numbers to counteract them efficiently - they were expecting to expect resistance ONLY from the father after all. Child Heretics are taken and re-educated in re-education centres (more like a place for lost and troubled teens than dystopian, brainwashing facilities).

Anath finishes the creations he was working on when he spoke up earlier, and unleashes 300 Star Squid into the deep seas of both worlds, down unto the depths where the sun never shine and his blessed night rules forever.

And so does Anath tell them of the world they have been created in, their elder kin, the races that Anath created earlier, and the other intelligent race that lives within the sea. (Anath is very clear that just because they look like fish doesn't mean that they're food.) And Anath tells them to go out and seek their lives within the dark seas, for the depths are theirs with no rivals yet created.

Whereupon Anath visits his other creations to tell them of their new younger siblings, and expresses his hopes that they all get along.

"One, while I am a god, that does not mean that all the Ways of Balance are known to me alone. Balance is something that is constantly being added on, from ages ago and eons to come, by younglings such as yourself. All of the lessons I have taught about Balance are simply things I have interpreted from the lessons only a few of you have learned at a time, which I thought should be shared with all the rest.
And as for these tiring Debates, that is a thing of the School of Balance, which is led by Hummingbirds like yourself. Perhaps you may act, should you choose to? It is not that I find it pointless to change it, it is simply because I would disturb the Balance of power. You are of your own free will."

Quote from: Andres on October 24, 2014, 06:21:43 pm

"I admit that I have been disrespectful in my earlier mannerisms and I apologise for them. I'm not sure how else I can convey respect in my young age so I guess I will have to leave it at an apology, unless you have any ideas. As for my "sole propriet" which you claim I do not have, I agree. But only in the same way that a mother or father does not have propriety over their child, or more accurately, how a man does not have propriety over his right hand because it is not his property, rather it is him. Humans are not merely linked to my sphere, they are my sphere and more than that, I am a literal manifestation of their existence, their godly self. As such, I care for all humans regardless of who they worship, save for those who harm other humans.
I wouldn't mind so much that they worship Gruen even except that they allow themselves to be eaten. Even THAT I would merely disapprove of but still allow, but then they convert other humans - including their own family mind you - and as such more humans simply allow themselves to be eaten. That is why I go after Heretics.
Oh and I did actually make my own humans using the Essence from 3.00 - after donating of course - so some might say that I do in fact have propriety. I am not one of those people who think I should claim propriety over them because, as I have explained, I basically AM all humans, but still.

"And I do not wish to destroy you, Grauel. Deicide is a major crime that I doubt any one of us would sink to. We are of course so few in number and our deaths would surely wreak havoc on the world, as demonstrated by the upsurge in treachery since Valkiss' death.
I also do not wish to wipe out your followers completely, I am simply taking your advice on how to make humans impractical meals to eat. I took that advice literally seeing as how I have failed to come up with any other option to settle this that DOESN'T result in more humans getting devoured. Again, I do apologise for my earlier rudeness and I hope we can put that behind us. I will not, however, end my war on the Gruen until they agree to cease the devouring of humans. On that point I will not concede.

I respect and understand that but I hope you can likewise understand why I as the God of Hunger would similarly be committed to allowing my followers to enact my sphere. Not doing so would be a bit too much against my nature. Let's not consider it a personal war then. It's simply a matter of our followers clashing, mine for the right to eat what they want and yours to show my followers that they aren't worth eating. Regardless of the outcome, I'll consider us on friendly terms from here on out.

Perhaps as a sign of my goodwill, despite the conflict, we can both invest essence together to create a new community on one of the worlds removed from the main conflict where a population of Gruen and Humans can live together more harmoniously as some of the Gruen and Mountwyrms do. I won't force that on all my followers but I'm perfectly willing to take the ones who don't want to eat humans and place them in a secluded community with some humans where they can live peacefully.

Oh and I see new laws have been passed. Completely forgot to vote on that. Well, I suppose I find them acceptable despite generally not enjoying restrictions.

Yaos makes a very special human.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This human is 90% normal human and 10% angel and will have the Elemental attunement. It will be born a normal human that just so happens to have the Elemental attunement and for all intents and purposes is a normal human but there are some differences. One: it reincarnates upon death rather than going to the Human Plane, and the reincarnation cycle stays on Keshan. Two: when in mortal peril, this particular human can enter a state where its dormant angelic power is used, making the human more powerful. Any eyes or tattoos the human has glows white when in this state. Three: when in Angel State, the human gains all the techniques and experience of previous reincarnates. Four: Due to the angel present within the human, the human will almost certainly worship Yaos as a primary god. Five: the angel present within the human is an actual angel. Generic, except it has a name. Six: particularly spiritual reincarnates are able to speak with the angel. 7: the reincarnate is always a good person. 8: the reincarnation cycle is NOT broken if the reincarnate is killed in the Angel State.
The angel's name is Ratu. The reincarnate is known as the Duondio.

Malik (the Slythan prophet) and the Emperor each get a message. The message is to start producing and distributing two different books. The first is called 'Yaos: God of Humans'. The second is called 'Yaos: God of Ambition', but I'll get to that in another post.

Spoiler: Chapter 1: Yaos (click to show/hide)

The first book ('Yaos: God of Humans') is distributed to humans. The first chapter teaches that Yaos is god of all humans, without exception, regardless of whether they pray to him or not. That is all. It is a very short chapter.

Spoiler: Chapter 2: The Human Plane (click to show/hide)

The second chapter describes the reincarnation system whereby those who do not follow Yaos spend eternity living through different lives - some good, some bad. In practicality, the reincarnation system is described as useless because the reincarnates do not accumulate rewards, skills, memories, or anything and simply continue from life to life in such a way that there is no practical difference between having and not having a reincarnation system. The subtext is that it is a boring system that souls are made to suffer for all eternity.
It follows on that by describing the Human Plane, where those who worship Yaos as their primary god go. The Human Plane is described as a place where the soul remembers their mortal life. Those who enter the Human Plane become immortal, though never get bored, and are always at least content. Aside from Yaos having to be their primary god to enter, they also have to worship him well. You can't get into the Human Plane simply by neglecting to worship all other gods entirely and then paying lip service to Yaos - it has to be a true and meaningful worship.

Spoiler: Chapter 3: Worship (click to show/hide)

The third chapter has to do with worship. Worshipping Yaos by praying, sacrificing animals or possessions (they must belong to the person doing the sacrificing), doing deeds in his name, and other forms of worship bestow tangible rewards on the worshipper.
When making wishes upon Yaos they are more likely to come true and in the way the wisher thought of them. Giving money to the poor and doing other good deeds both increases mortal life span without making it any more boring or tedious to live through and increases the happiness obtained when entering the Human Plane, repeating that the happiness does not wane with time.
There is, however, one specific sin that a human can commit which will result in Yaos taking away lifespan - Heresy.

Spoiler: Chapter 4: HERESY (click to show/hide)

The fourth chapter has to do with Heresy. Heresy is not described as worshipping other gods or worshipping gods that Yaos does not like. Heresy is described as betraying humanity.
Killing another human without good cause is Heresy.
Converting another human to heresy or getting other humans to commit heretical acts is Heresy.
To allow yourself to be eaten or harmed is NOT heresy, but having other humans to suffer the same IS Heresy.
Sacrificing humans to Yaos is Heresy.
Those who commit Heresy are Heretics.
Heretics may not enter the Human Plane even if they worship Yaos in a true and meaningful way.
There is, however, a way for those who have committed heresy to enter the Human Plane - redemption.

Spoiler: Chapter 5: Redemption (click to show/hide)

The fifth chapter has to do with redemption after committing heretical acts. Redemption from heretical acts is rather straightforward. Stop committing heretical acts, worship Yaos, do good things, etc.
One of the BEST ways of attaining redemption is by preventing Heresy from spreading, preventing Heretical acts from being undertaken, and convincing Heretics to seek redemption themselves. Helping those Heretics attain redemption is a small form of redemption, but it's best combined with more standard forms of redemption for maximum effect.

Spoiler: Chapter 6: Conclusion (click to show/hide)

The sixth and final chapter is a short sum-up of the previous five chapters. It also tells readers to spread the word of Yaos and gives a few rhetorical lines about goodness and thank-you for reading and blah blah blah.

Spoiler: Tagline (click to show/hide)

The book ends with the official tagline of the Empire: Glory to Yaos. HAIL HUMANITY.

(You are a god. You could've just magicked yourself up a book at no Essence cost. Or just asked someone for one because, again, you are a god. Besides it's not like it's banned to non-humans or anything, it's just that the Emperor is focused on distributing books to human settlements rather than non-human settlements. He might charge money to non-humans because they might as well be fiction novels to them but again, YOU ARE A GOD, and more than that, you are a god of MONEY. You could have just magicked yourself some money at NO Essence cost, like you always do.)

A young gentleman who worships both Cim and Yaos is walking home one day when he hears someone call the Gem Dragons "tosspots". When he asks why they're "tosspots" he's told how they're all untrustworthy scum. When the young gentleman asks why he thinks that he's told by the man about how they agreed to fight the Gruen on their side in exchange for shinies, but then took off with the shinies without fighting. The young gentleman eventually goes home and thinks about his experience until he goes to sleep.

The next day, the young gentleman walks by a poor family begging on the streets. The word of Yaos dictates that helping those less fortunate than yourself is a good thing to do so he does. He buys them bread and asks why they are out begging on the street when they could go to a poorhouse and receive free food and shelter. The mother responds by explaining that the poor house is at capacity and that the it does not have the money necessary to expand. The young gentleman eventually goes home and thinks about his experience until he goes to sleep.

A couple of days afterwards, the young gentleman is off to buy a nice trinket for a girl he hopes to woo. While perusing the wares of a shop he overhears a girl say wistfully "Oh how I wish I was a Gem Dragon." Confused, the young gentleman approaches the girl and asks about why she wants to be a Gem Dragon. You see my dear friends, this young gentleman thinks that Gem Dragons are called such because they have shiny scales that shine as bright as stars, and live their lives in caves like hermits, that they may hide their beauty from the world. The girl then educates the young gentleman on Gem Dragons and how they live in caves with hoards of gold and silver and gems and other shinies, and that they constantly seek to add to their wealth. The young gentleman eventually goes home and thinks very hard about his experience until he goes to sleep.

The next morning, the young gentleman decides to do something. You see, he has been brought up to believe in righteousness, generosity, kindness, and rule of law. What he has heard about the Gem Dragons is the antithesis of all these things he has been brought up to believe. They steal money, they never give it freely, they look upon the faces of the poor and scoff, and they get away with it. Thinking on this the young gentleman prays to Yaos of Humans and Cim the Lawgiver to bless him for his journey he is about to take. He is going to go to the highest authority of Gem Dragons and demand on behalf of the Empire of Man that they repay humanity for the shinies they stole.

Yaos sends the third angel to watch over and protect this young gentleman.

This young gentleman, who is the first lawyer.

Tick 14.5, Day 14: Vindictiveness and Vengeance

Azem has answered the prayers of a few mortals. Here is what they have to say:
Piece-Pilgrim: "Thank you, Lord Azem! I hope they will still accept shinies."
Worried Mountwyrm: "If you say so, Goldfather."
Uncertain Mountwyrm: "Really? Is it true that we can honor you simply by our striving?"
Azem has also chosen the form of an emerald gem dragon for future appearances.

The Light has suggested that the residents of Lichterloh, the village of nightmares, spread the fine examples of their art to human towns and contemplate the divine. Artisanii has commented favorably on the indigenous art of horror acting.

Serac: You create a massive warded citadel on the open ocean on Keshan with a capacity of 1 000 island turtles and a year's worth of supplies.. Almost immediately, jelly roll trees begin growing in and around it. You have also created the bubble spren. They will help break up the silence.

Yaos has created the Shadow Realm, a location for storing evil worshippers of Yaos. Strangely enough, mimes are not considered sufficiently evil to warrant the Shadow Realm. This is possibly a conspiracy of some sort. Regardless, a human worshipper of Graanglipechozhrih, Sage of ephemerality, has caused some controversy regarding the scope of 12.01 and its coverage of Void Things. This has spread into a controversy about gods eavesdropping on each other's answers to prayers in the Council.

Anath: You check your creations for Void cults. It appears that their relative isolation has also prevented them from knowing much of the Void and being touched by it. Anath has also finished and released several hundred Star Squid into the oceans of both worlds. They have been confirmed to be free of the Void's influence.

Kli has advised an impatient Hummingbird about true Balance. Kli explains that Balance is difficult to define and that attaining it is an active process. and has blessed the mortal with godly patience and widsom.

(Yaos: If you're drawing from WH40K for your inquisitors, they're quite brutal. Even knowing about Chaos is pretty much enough for summary execution.)

Azem: The Mountwyrms have started a School of Greed in their capital. Much like the other Schools, most of the education is transmitted by oral means.

Cim appears to have trapped Tykki in the Plane of Order and Law. The efforts of Fusil, Azem, Yaos, and Anath were sufficient to free Tykki, but it appears that Cim's goal was simply to elicit a strong, negative response. Cim argues that this action is merely a reaction to the more harmful things the other gods have done. The other gods do not seem to appreciate the example.

The Yaos have ordered their prophets to write a book about the doctrine of Yaos for each sphere on each world. They proceed to do so. In an attempt to obtain a copy, Azem has obtained a copy by posing as a human. They have also created a lawyer.

Yaos has created a very special part-angel human bound to Keshan with a cumulative memory. Unfortunately, the act sends Yaos down to 1 Essence, and Yaos is now dormant until further Essence income arrives.

This update's dominant constellations are the Hammer and Lady.

Anath will oppose 14.02 because he holds the right to interact with his own creations privately, which this seems to forbid. And he'll oppose 14.01 as well because that seems exceedingly overkill.

Anath looks up from where he is preparing to create his next creation. "The Code of Conduct I suggested was for interactions between us, who exist on this plane and have made this world. If the Void Ones wish to be part of it, and protected by it, then they should openly show themselves to us and agree to being a member of this council like we are."

Anath also checks his creations, the Star Elves, Termitia, and Star Dragons for Void Cults.

Hmm almost missed this. Interesting point. Perhaps we should clarify through the council who these rules apply to and protect. Otherwise it leaves the issue of whether or not the Void Cultists are protected by the council rather iffy.

I propose we clarify that the rules of the council only apply to gods within the bubble.

Edit:

((It's not mentioned in the tick description but that law is meant to punish secret actions against other gods unless those gods are of opposing spheres or are openly at war.

Artisanii has announced a public Contest! Mortals who can make a painting to impress Artisanii and the Muses themselves will be greatly rewarded.

(Joha: -3E)
Joha has created the Lycae, a race of sapient bipedal wolves. A few hundred live on each planet. Some prayers this turn are as follows:
"I wish for the forest to have more types of trees. Is that possible?"
"My daughter is sick and dying. Will you help her recover?"
"Is there a way to make myself return after death?"

(The Light: -2E)
The Light: Your Prophet appears to be settling minor disputes. He seems to do this regularly. The mime is currently being chased out of a random Luminee town with a shrine of Artisanii. It appears that the angry mob contains many actors and actresses. You create Zrathli, scatter them, and announce their existence and current value to the people. Much inflation and hilarity ensues, and the merchants begin selectively accumulating them for the purpose of deflating prices. The Gem Council is both enthralled by the gems and furious at their effects on the economy.

Fusil has begun transporting the cultist to the human capital's dungeons.

Azem:
Dwarf mason: "I need drink. Badly. Help me, Azem."
Dwarf cook: "The god of Greed and Trade has blessed my cooking so much. Praise Azem, for we can finally buy all the sand!"
Dwarf brewer: "My drinks taste better with divine shinies in them. Praise Azem for making them!"
Dwarf beekeeper: "By Azem, I hope the bees remain calm while I take out the honey."

Yaos: You have received enough Essence to no longer be dormant.

Hmm, yeah. Your daughter will recover.

"Is there a way to make myself return after death?"

Seeing as there is a cycle of reincarnation between this world and another, you would return anyways, but I can arrange for you to return immediately to this world upon your death.

Yaos' third angel is present, as is the Inquisition.

Yaos switches to old man form.
"Please forgive me relative ignorance for I am a young god, but is there any way to speak to followers or to receive and respond to prayers secretly? I want private conversations between myself and my followers to remain private but since proposal 14.00 seems about to fail I suspect that there currently exist alternative arrangements to make the proposal obsolete for other gods and I would be grateful if another god were to inform me of them if they exist."

The Arch-Lawyer of Mankind has postponed his trip to the Gem Dragon high temple until the third angel is prepared to leave with him and he is still waiting on a blessing from Cim.

Tick 15: Wavering War of Whimsy

Artisanii has announced a Contest! A prize will be given to the entry that manages to impress the Muses or even the Artisanii themselves. One of the submitted entries comes from an individual who has gathered a crowd in which the color of their clothing and skin or scales produces a mosaic. This individual has painted a few of the attendees, perhaps to adjust their colors.

Joha has created the Lycae, a race of bipedal wolf-people to live in the mountains on both worlds. She has also inspired a bored Slythan woodweaver* with more interesting tree designs, cured the daughter of a prominent wood elven family, and arranged to transport a minor soul back to Keshan on the next death. The Lycae seem to be doing quite well. However, their relative isolation from other races at the moment seems to be a limiting factor in their development.

The Light's prophet seems to have taken to settling minor disputes in the absence of a grander mission or task. One of his worshippers, a mime, has recently been chased out of a town containing a shrine of Artisanii by a mob of disaffected actors and actresses. The mime mimed a horse and managed to escape the angry crowd.

The Light has also created Zrathli, valuable gems spread everywhere. This has had the effect of driving prices up and angering the Slythan Gem Council. Merchants everywhere work to remove the Zrathli from circulation in an attempt to restore price levels.

Fusil and Cim seem to have reached a truce of some sort.

The interrogation of the cultist of Graanglipechozhrih, Sage of Ephemerality, in the dungeon of the human Capitol has begun! Among the divine observers are Serac, Yaos' third angel, and Azem and Rubin.

Yaos' Arch-Lawyer, (whose surname is Schratz*), has postponed his trip to the Piece of Eight pending a blessing from Cim.

This update's dominant constellations are the Shield and Eye. The Keshan aurora seem to be more visible.

Anath, amused by the chaos of created shinies, creates eight magical obsidian coins on each world. Each coin is attuned to one of the skyfeatures native to that world, one for each skyfeature, and serves as a mystical attunement to celestial magic when using celestial magic involving the skyfeature they are attuned to. Anath then announces their existence to inhabitants on both worlds, and informs the mortals that the first mortal on each world to gain the full set will get a minor wish from him.

Confusingly, Anath also calls these the Pieces of Eight, for each world has eight of them...

(So, yes, magic constellation coins that help with using magic of the constellation shown on the coin. You must collect them all!)

Yaos: God of Ambition

Spoiler: Chapter 1: Yaos (click to show/hide)

The second book (Yaos: God of Ambition) is distributed to both humans and non-humans, but unlike the Book of Humans (alternate name) which is given to humans for free and sold to non-humans, the Book of Ambition (alternate name) is sold to humans and non-humans alike. The first chapter describes Yaos as the god of ambition and is important to all races who strive for excellence. Simply to undertake ambitious actions is to pay homage to Yaos.

Spoiler: Chapter 2: Ambitious Actions - Part 1 (click to show/hide)

The second chapter gives examples of ambitious actions. Doing things such as creating grand displays of art, undertaking large architectural projects, endeavouring to become wealthy, and expanding territory via military conquest ALL give homage to Yaos, as well as the gods directly encompassing those spheres.
Other, less tangible ambitious actions include attempting to woo a person who is of higher social status, improving one's self, trying to make a difference through charitable acts, or taking revenge on a powerful man are all ambitious actions that pay homage to Yaos. What is necessary, however, is that the acts must be considered ambitious for the person doing them.

Spoiler: Chapter 3: Ambitious Actions - Part 2 (click to show/hide)

The third chapter describes what makes an ambitious action ambitious in the first place. For an action that a person takes to be considered an ambitious action, the action must be ambitious relative to the person performing the action - the act of making a regular sword for an experienced blacksmith is not ambitious for him, but it would be for his newly-instated apprentice.
Ambition is also rather complex. A prince attempting to marry a duchess is not ambitious. A prince attempting to marry a common woman, or really any woman, whilst being pressured against it from all sides and fighting off attempts by others to prevent it is ambitious.
It should also be stated that simply working on a great project is not, by itself, considered an ambitious task. A noble attempting to build the most elaborate and powerful castle in the land would be considered ambitious, but NOT if he is simply orders its construction with a sentence and leaves it up to the foreman to deal with the rest, or if by 'most elaborate and powerful' it is only barely better than what would be the second most elaborate and powerful castle in the land. The foreman, who is in charge of plans and construction, would be ambitious if he were to try to improve on the design, or try to get more construction done in less time, but NOT if he simply goes for the bare minimum of the requirements or just uses the plans of another foreman. A labourer who physically works on building the castle is NOT ambitious if he just does his job as required, but IS if he tries to go above and beyond what is expected of him.
About now, the reader may be wondering "Why should I care if Yaos likes my ambition? Do I get anything out of it?" The answer to those questions is, respectively, read chapter 4, and yes.

Spoiler: Chapter 4: Incentive (click to show/hide)

The fourth chapter describes incentive for worshipping Yaos, the God of Ambition, when undertaking an ambitious project. It basically says that Yaos will help them out in their endeavour. That is all. It is a very short chapter.

Spoiler: Chapter 5: Conclusion (click to show/hide)

The fifth and final chapter is a short sum-up of the previous four chapters. It also tells readers to spread the word of Yaos and gives a few rhetorical lines about striving to be the very vest (like no one ever was) and thank-you for reading and blah blah blah.

"The recent events show me just how little direct pull I can show on this world without more manpower. As my brothers have done in ages past, I will have to seed my own race. But how to design them?

The humanoid form is all well in good, but we have seen its limitations. One weapon, maybe two at a time for the particularly impressive. I will need a way for them to wield dozens or more at once. The main focus of the body will be these arms. No...tentacles. The creatures will be formed mostly of wriggling tentacles, with more tentacles specifically designed to hold weapons at the end. They will have the same eyesight and other senses as a typical human, but be much larger, the size of a normal human's room. Yes, giant masses of tentacles and weapons, the perfect follower for me.

Much of the land has been claimed by specialist species, so they will have to learn to survive anywhere. They will be able to live and create weapons no matter where they are. As many prayers are asking for wishes, I shal preemptively grant them the ability to grant their own wishes. Each child of this species shal have an affinity for Cosmic magics, the world will bend under their godlike powers so I will not have to intervene each time one has a minor desire. I will call this species the "Armu", and it will represent my will in both worlds as my Sapients."


Fusil begins lovingly crafting his new species, bringing tentacle after massive tentacle into existence and personally expecting each one for any sort of faults before sending them on their way to their new home. He then looks down at the young race, with the pride of a new father.

(Don't think I am going to have the problem with Gruen eating them :P)(-9 Right?)

A male Ritan with a tentacle beard and a suspicious tome.
A young female Ritan with tentacle fingers and a concerning volume.
An elderly male Ritan with a tentacled mouth and a menacing book.

(For some reason, I finished 15.5 but didn't post it.)

Tick 15.5: Xeric Xenoxiphei

Kli has inspired a once-impatient Hummingbird with a revelation of Balance. The Hummingbird proceeds to wander the roads, spreading Kli's ideas. The human Kli blessed with a greater sense of inner balance is now toiling the soil in the nearby fields. Despite the hard work, the human seems content to be able to help others.

The new colonies Yaos has ordered to be settled are still very small villages. The primary traders do not pass through them on account of the danger and difficulty of reaching them.

Anath has created eight magically conductive obsidian coins on each world attuned to each skyfeature individually. They enhance the Celestial magic abilities of their users, and whoever collects all eight coins will be granted a minor wish by Anath. This drastically increases the crime rate on both worlds, as various wish-seekers assault the current possessors of the coins in an endless, futile attempt to gain the Shadow's favor.

Azem has created fourteen total Pieces of Eight and scattered them over each world. While increasing the supply of astrologically [sic] expensive coins alone would decrease the individual price of each coin, this sharply increases the demand for divine coins, leading to even more chaos. The turmoil is especially evident in the more densely populated human and Gruen settlements.

Varee has attempted to merge the coins, but this would clearly not work, what with the implicit opposition of at least one god/item-creator.

Yaos has successfully commissioned the writing of a Book of Ambition. It defines many things Yaos considers to be ambitious and worthy of blessing. The Arch/Ur-Proto-Lawyer has received Cim's somewhat reluctant blessing.

Fusil has invested a massive amount of Essence into creating the Armu, a Cosmically attuned race of tentacled creatures that excel in combat. They are low-level reality warpers and can do many trivial/minor actions gods can do. Their first act is to pass a proposal prohibiting outsiders from eating them, although the enforceability of Armu council proposals is debatable.

Accusations of Serac's involvement with Void Ones have resurfaced (punanticipated) after a minor comment by Serac on Fusil's Armu and their tentacles.

Varee has attempted to introduce Mystic Snow to various subjects with varying success. The Gem Dragons seem not to care much if at all about being offered Mystic Snow.

Artisanii observes some entries for the Contest. Among the entries submitted are the following:

• A detailed painting of a pill bug
• A tyrannical painting of a giant human made up of tiny Gruen
• A whimsical painting of a fruit made of faces
• A worrying painting of a hollowed-out Luminee's upper body and head with many small mortals standing in and around it.
• A disorienting painting of a Muse's face but with too many angles
• A tracing of a brain flanked by the mask of tragedy and the mask of comedy
• A warm painting of a flock of winged, flying metal objects with two deep grooves on their top side
• An odd painting of a Muse made by a crowd wearing suitable colors.
• A bizarre painting depicting a burning long-necked antelope and a tall Muse made of doors
• A mess of various colors of paint splatters
• A warped painting of a desert with melting sundials and swarms of ants

(Anath: -2E, Azem: -1E, Fusil: -9E)

You create a trumpet of light. Its sound stirs in every Light follower's heart. They are quite disturbed by this heart-stirring.

Meanwhile, in a random uninhabited evil biome, it begins hailing fiery, bloody ice pellets, which ignite some of the vegetation. _{^{As it often has since creation.}}

"Anath, Azem, kindly remove your coins my cities, please." She says this with a stepford smile.

In the meantime, the coins are outlawed. The Inquisition is sent to find them. Anyone who offers the coins up gets a reward. The people are also reminded that praying to Yaos can also get you your wish granted. The only rule is that you cannot wish to be a god - they tend to explode once they do - and the more reasonable the request the more likely it is to get granted.

What are some of the prayers Yaos is getting?

I also do a little INCEPTION on a Dwarven King to dig deeper. This idea will not naturally be removed.

I go find an Armu group, deciding this is a great way to introduce them to the dwarves.

"You will find a group of men to hide in the location the Dwarf King is digging to. Once they breach a cave or other open space, you will come out dropping coins and other peace offerings, they might get the wrong idea if you start dropping weapons all of a sudden. Then make a trade offering, the dwarves have many fine metals for you to craft into even finer weapons"

(Yaos: -0E)

Yaos has banned divine coins from human cities. This mostly has the effect of driiving those few who do have coins into hiding. Yaos has also dreamnudged a Dwarven King into digging deeper. This was what the king wanted to do anyway. Fusil has arranged for the Armu to drop gifts of coins and trinkets on the dwarves when they breach an open space.

Also, create this as a shrine of sorts:

Two giant (~8 meters tall) obsidian doors inlaid with jade, one on each world. The forest around them twists into a labyrinth so as to make their access very difficult for most. The two doors connect to each other, although it takes a fair amount of willpower on the part of whomever is traveling through them for them to not end up somewhere less pleasant. The doors are rather difficult to open to begin with, and relocate themselves whenever they're used.

I'll also go to The Library, I guess, and do some research with the others.

With all due respect, no one needs to know what my angel is thinking, mortal, god or otherwise. In all fairness there's no reason that the knowledge of any of the angels should be known to anyone but the angels themselves and those who they give that information away to.

Tick 16: Yawning Years

The Light has created a trumpet of light to stir in the hearts of followers of the Light. It disturbs them slightly and may or may not be linked to any apocalyptic events.

Yaos has requested that divine coins be removed from human towns and has sent the Inquisition after human possessors of the coins. Yaos has also nudged an Underking to dig deeper, which he would have done eventually with or without a dreamnudge. Some prayers Yaos has received this turn are:
"I want to become the king of a human kingdom. Yaos of Ambition will surely bless this."
"By Yaos, what a magnificent Piece!"
"I summoned a manifestation of Shturrthafusnghepiisnsitlygh today. I thank Yaos for blessing me in this venture."

Fusil has suggested that the Armu make a friendly, trade-focused first contact with the Dwarves. The Dwarves breach a cavern layer to find tentacled creatures tossing hundreds of coins and trinkets in their general direction. A trading relationship forms quickly.

Joha has created massive, warping obsidian gates hidden in shifting, labyrinthine forests on both worlds. They lead to each other and jump to different locations when used and supply only part of the targetting required not to end up somewhere unpleasant. Joha has also joined the study group at the Library.

The Artisanii have now opened up access to the forbidden section of the Library to the other gods. They have discovered to their horror that their angels' diaries are also stored in the Library. However, typical entries look something like these:

• An angel of Fusil: Long ramblings about various weapons and explosions
• The Devourer: A long list of variations on a recipe for jelly rolls
• An angel of Cim: Countless dots
• An angel of Khaziraad: Random blueprints for non-existent buildings
• An angel of Azem: Hundreds of colored drawings of different shinies

Apparently, angels only write diaries when bored.

The Devourer has collected its diary from the Library. Yaos has removed all aligned angels' diaries, which mostly seem to be filled with drawings of impossible creations anyway. Azem has collected his angels' diaries.

Aside from heaping praise on him, It describes the role of Azem as not just bringing prosperity, but helping people bring prosperity to themselves.

It has never spoken directly, but Its servants and manifestations are capable of making lesser deals with not only Bubble-dwellers but also other Nulls. Most believe that Its intentions are malevolent on account of it being the champion of the Umbral faction, but most have contact primarily if not exclusively with Luminants and Liminals, so this may be biased.

Anath also will visit the library and see what this book has for information on the void entities, because that seems important to know.

Azem and his angels have joined the fight. His angels work to manipulate the manifestation to increase its greed, probably hoping to bribe the thing with fairy shinies to disappear.

Fusil and his angels have started blasting the manifestation with barreled weapons propelling metal projectiles with explosions. The manifestation disappears and reappears with similar weapons.

Kifo has joined the fight with a massive falx.

Grauel has consumed some Essence to grow more mouths and grow larger in general and has begun consuming the energy of the manifestation rapidly.

I did. My angel's orders were to help weaken the thing and drain some of its essence for my personal study. I got annoyed after realizing that it wasn't really as weakened as I thought, so I joined the fight personally.

Here is what it says about him

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Shturrthafusnghepiisnsitlygh
Function: Lurker, unknown sphere, possibly Destruction or Entropy
Alignment: Umbral
Age/Caste: Primordial Coronal: Hadal
Tendency: Destructive
Description: The Lurker is revered even by Its fellow Nulls for Its apparent Descension. It left the other Nulls far before the Bubbles began appearing but after placing them in an inescapable orbit with the two other Hadal tiered Nulls. It has never spoken directly, but Its servants and manifestations are capable of making lesser deals with not only Bubble-dwellers but also other Nulls. Most believe that Its intentions are malevolent on account of it being the champion of the Umbral faction, but most have contact primarily if not exclusively with Luminants and Liminals, so this may be biased.

So, I don't think all the void beings are evil... I'm not sure though. I personally would like to know more before throwing them out forever.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Void Beings have divided themselves into three factions based on which Hadal-tier they favor. The Umbrals favor Shturrthafusnghepiisnsitlygh, the Liminals Mgaareecaalwahiisnshyzhrshui, and the Luminants S'agroh'ebih'ui. The Luminants are typically the most interested in Bubble-dwellers and are drawn to their creations. The Liminals are willing to work with Bubble-dwellers and often do but are not actively interested in them. The Umbrals are typically apathetic about Bubble-dwellers and see them as helping the other two factions further demonize Shturrthafusnghepiisnsitlygh, who escaped just before the Cyclization Period and whom most of the Beings are attempting to capture now.

It's just a manifestation. Maybe it doesn't care if it dies? Can't another mortal just summon a new one using the same means of learning the ritual that this one did? It's definitely worth looking into and securing these types of things. This time let's all be notified if such a thing goes into the library.

Seriously? It seemed like quite a bit of private research had been done by some parties prior to this. Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter at this point. I'll obtain one of those books myself soon and do my own research to catch up to what everyone else has been doing. I'd rather not be the only one who's in the dark here, only to find it out several ticks later.

They don't need a separate dimension if they, say, use the underwater temple as a hideout. And for large enough things, transportation becomes easier than creation, even for long distances."

Yaos once again does INCEPTION on the dwarven king. This time, she's more aggressive. She makes digging deeper his driving goal in life, to put all effort into digging deeper, and to put the kingdom's resources into digging deeper, spurned on for the promise of ever greater riches. As a catalyst, she uses the memory of the Armu and their freely given wealth as a base for the idea that digging deeper is ultimately better. This idea will not naturally go away on its own.

The ink in Classification of the Things is extremely faded and some notes have been written over the text in darker, fresher ink. The actually readable notes are as follows:

As every cultist knows, some Things are more friendly than others, and some dislike even talking to lowly mortals. This book will help you find out which Thing is the best to contact.

First, you must always avoid the elemental Things. They really are not to be trusted. Their moods change faster than the tides, and they care little for their followers. Avoid any Thing of Fire, Water, Air, or Earth.

Second, you must always avoid the Lurkers and Watchers and Things aligned with Apathy. They also care little about your local cult and will not so much as raise a throfoaihn in your defense when you are inevitably caught by the authorities.

Third, you must always avoid the Jelly Roll and Bundle Things. They are so incredibly untrustworthy and will, unlike the others, break Void laws to make deals. The others can and will find out eventually and punish you instead!

Fourth, you must always avoid Things aligned to Ephemerality. Their penchant for starting willing suicide cults, while amusing, is detrimental to the continued existence of your cult. Exposing rival cults to them, however, is both amusing and useful.

Fifth, you must always avoid Things of Honor. They seem to have a tendency toward being more untrustworthy than Things of Dishonor. No one knows why this is, but our Altros speculates that this is because honor to a Void Thing is vastly different than honor to us Clac.

Tick 17: Zoonotic Zebras

Grauel has finally managed to deliver a gift of jelly rolls to the Devourer. The Devourer devours one very slowly and stores the rest somewhere.

A prominent human administrator has summoned a manifestation of Shturrthafusnghepiisnsitlygh and actually thanked Yaos for assistance. Interestingly, Yaos attempted to fight the manifestation using a part of the human army and not something effective. The gods proceeded to have a long, drawn out fight against the manifestation in which they were victorious. Worrying, though, is the fact that it seemed to be holding back and very much unconcerned about death or defeat.

Recently, a human nobleman has died in a skirmish against the Gruen. His son, the eldest of the family, attempted to collect the Celestial Coins so as to wish his father back to life. Unfortunately for him, the Inquisition demanded the Coins and he resisted, resulting in his death. His wife has also recently died, but the cause of this seems to have been giving birth.

A random Slythan human's divine right of rulership has been affirmed by Yaos. He has embarked on a campaign to unite the various human tribes in the region. A random Keshan human admiring a Piece on display has been arrested and disappeared by the local Inquisitors. The Yaos have made a show of purging Void worship in their lands.

Azem has written a book titled The Goldfather and distributed it to all the caravans, making sure that the whole Gem Council also has copies. They describe the teachings of Azem and gaining financial independence from Azem himself for his glory.

Some of the more audible prayers to Anath include the following:
"I wish it were always night and never day. The stars are so beautiful!"
"Praise Anath! We managed to take the Piece!"
"I hope this spell I got from a shady part of town for summoning Anath actually works."

The Artisanii have chosen a winner for the Contest! It is a whimsical painting of carricatures of all the races and most of the god symbols. The painting has been blessed, as has been the painter.

Yaos has attempted to cause a Dwarf to want to dig much deeper. Regrettably, it seems that Yaos tried too hard and ended up inducing backlash. The Dwarves have decided not to dig deeper because time would more slowly if they were to do so.

The Dwarves have introduced the Armu to the Mountwyrms, opening up the path to a new commodity of FANTASTIC METAL ORES HEAVIER THAN HELIUM.

The Gremlins appear to be attempting to automate the creation of a system of training building blocks. They seem to be struggling to make well-machined parts.

I am creating a prison dimension inside the "Plane of Water and Bubbles", able to hold anything I put that, including another god (Partially).

I will conduct a ritual with the Sorae, and tell them I will create a champion to protect them from the void.
I will then create a void immune angel, hopefully using the belief to decrease cost. It will take the form of a large crab, and have the ability to shoot bubbles. These bubbles can either teleport anything trapped inside into the prison dimension, or drain energy from the being that is trapped inside (knocking it unconscious if possible). Oh, and it can teleport itself around by stepping into a third type of bubble.
I will name it later...

Oh, and create a magic glowing metal that sings when struck for the Sorae to use. It will be able to block almost any blow, but has difficulty holding an edge.

(Oh god whyyyyyyyyy???? D: It's almost like the GM is out to get me. /joke)

(The Inquisition are supposed to be closer to regular police or swat teams than secret police or Gestapo. That's an important thing to remember. Just because they deal with religious/magical threats and are called the 'Inquisition', it doesn't mean they're evil. If you watched the Men in Black movies you would probably get a better idea of what the Inquisition's like.)

The newborn baby is given to its closest kin, assuming they're not assholes. Otherwise, it's put in a good orphanage but WILL NOT be put up for adoption. It will get all its father's/mother's property when it's of age, assuming Yaos doesn't bring its parents back to life. The parents' bodies are also magically preserved so they do not rot (human mages do this - not Yaos).
(How many of the baby's parents went to the Human Plane?)

The Keshan who was just looking at a Piece is released because he did nothing wrong.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 27, 2014, 08:32:47 pm

"Praise Anath! We managed to take the Piece!"

Since eavesdropping on prayers is a thing, the Inquisition goes to capture the Piece and arrest the people who chose not to turn it in.

Yaos creates 300 Saeva.

Spoiler: Saeva (click to show/hide)

The Saeva are 1 metre tall humans. They are non-sentient, blood-thirsty killing machines.

The first thing one should know about the Saeva is that they get energy by absorbing sunlight, like Humanos Grande.

The Saeva are very weak-minded, and simultaneously rather impervious to mind-altering abilities. Unlike the Humanos Grande who are at least half-sentient, the Saeva are entirely non-sentient and are unable to perform basic tasks like the Humanos can like carrying things or digging holes or yelling when an enemy is spotted. They only know 3 commands: Kill, Follow, Halt. This weakness of mind, however, makes it very easy for a Controller Angel to control them, at 10,000 per angel. Since there's no room for any other commands or even any command parameters (kill that, feed on non-sentients, etc.) Commands can only be given to them via Controller Angel or if Yaos directly gives them a command. If their Controller Angel dies, they will continue to execute their given command until a new one is given either by a newly assigned Controller Angel or by Yaos.

Commands:
Kill: Kill all animals in sense. Saeva are hard-coded by Yaos himself so that they are entirely unable to see dead/alive/something else humans, human variants, or angels of Yaos.
Follow: Follow the line. When the Saeva are given the Follow command by a Controller Angel, the psionic link shared between them allows for a glowing line of white light to appear that attaches to individual Saeva and their Controller Angel. Each Saeva follows the line. This method is used because they are not able to see the Controller Angel. Direct line of sight is not needed to see the psionic line. If the Controller Angel dies they will revert to a Halt command.
Halt: Stop everything. The Saeva stop everything they're doing. They become dormant until a new command is given.

The Saeva are cheap, expendable "army ants" to be used in humanity's wars. The only emotion they feel is hatred and are rather savage in combat. Their absurdly low intelligence means they cannot use weapons and attack only using their body parts. They punch, kick, bite, scratch, rip off limbs, headbutt, etc. As a result of their small minds they do not have any training and they aren't gifted with enhanced combat so a trained soldier with decent weaponry and armour is likely to win against one or two at a time, perhaps even three. They ARE basically wild animals after all.
Their biggest strength is that it's very cheap to make them. Humans are cheap to make - especially in bulk numbers. Saeva - being non-sentient - are even cheaper.
They have a pair of lungs, but they are very small and are only used to make brief noises, usually when they're killing. The sounds are rather disturbing.

How many Pieces are in possession by the Inquisition?

Yaos changes into her elderly male form.
"Hail Joha! I would like to request from you a breed of large, ridable wolves that the human army will eventually use as mounts for cavalry. They won't be able to be used against the armies of Grauel because they hunger and I cannot prevent hunger in non-humans, but it would certainly make the world a more interesting place."

Yaos listens to some prayers.

Title: Re: Ye Gods [13/∞] Game Thread/IC: Tick 14: Underhanded Underlings
Post by: gman8181 on October 27, 2014, 09:14:50 pm

(It's hard not to see them that way with the fervent cries of hail humanity, and purging intensifies as they march in. Maybe have them start doing community work to create a better image for them among the citizens?

Also, that prayer was to another god and while you are not prevented from listening in, you might wish to consider that it is probably not your follower and possibly not even human. Both I believe would make it somewhat odd for you to interfere.)

Regarding the summoning, go ahead and check it out then if you want. Better safe then sorry as they say.

Edit: Oops, that was OOC in the IC so I'm changing mine to be the same I guess.

Double Edit: My hands are way too big to type on mobile phones and I swear autocorrect hates me. I almost give up.

Now, of course, it is time for the Armu to meat a new race! Blades heavier than helium are incredibly useful. But for now, we will have to get the potential enemies out of the way. Have a group travel with the Mountwyrme caravan to the Gruen lands, acting as well armed reality warping guards. Hopefully the first contact will be pleasant, with the help of the no-eating traders thing.

("Gas" elements can still be liquids and solids at low enough temperatures. Helium has to be ridiculously cold to be solid though, and I too am admittedly unsure of what the meaning behind that particular comment was. Think of the different states of water if it makes it easier... Except water is actually less dense as a solid than as a liquid which is not typical. Usually solids are more dense and by extension, an equal volume is heavier. I will not pretend to know what the properties of solid helium would be under whatever peculiar conditions would cause it to enter such a state.)

(Serac:-0E-3E)
Serac: You have created a prison deep in the Plane of Water and Bubbles, far beneath the sea floor. You have also convened the most powerful of the Sorae to assist you in the creation of a powerful crab guardian with bubble/dimensional powers. The power and belief of the convened Sorae assists you and makes the creation much easier.

You also created a sonorous, glowing metal only recently discovered by the Sorae. It is very corrosion-resistant and found in native form quite frequently and is very hard but really cannot hold an edge.

(Joha: Vote counted)

Yaos: The oldest sister takes care of the baby, but it seems that the baby is somewhat plot-irreversibly ill. Their parents have already passed on to Slytha, as they did not actually do too many significant deeds worthy of your notice. The Inquisitors have reappeared the human who was admiring and desiring a Piece on display. You also create 300 insect-minded psi-controlled savages  The Inquisition currently possesses two Pieces. One of them is a Celestial Coin. You also take the risk of listening to some prayers.
"I wish I was as tall as a mountain!"
"I wish my little brother would get better, but not even the priests can heal him and my inheritance is running out." (plot-block)
"Yaos be praised! My Void army and not my set of suspiciously misshapen dice has won!"
"Thank Yaos I got a job in the Inquisition. Now I can get free food and shelter wherever I go with my whole squad."
"I want my doll to be alive! Make it happen now!"

(Joha: -3E)
Joha has created a race of bioluminescent, telekinetic sky jellyfish who build vast palaces high in the sky out of some gravity-ignoring cloudstuff*. Joha has also enlarged a group of wolves to form the Warg, a trainable, fierce mount.

(Fusil: -5E)
Fusil: At first, the Gruen ask to buy the Armu. After being informed that they are not for sale (or at least not at such a low price), they begin trading many assorted goods. The Armu are delighted by Gruen cuisine, and the Gruen are interested in the exotic ores the Armu have. You also increase the numbers of the Armu to around 3 million.

Anath checks on the number of people killed by the Inquisition for the coins. It appears to be a few orders of magnitude above 1, but records are vague and full of expungement. It could easily be that more than a few are from rioters and rowdy people.

Serac has named the crab angel of Bubbles Nuparhi.

(Azem: -3E)
Azem: You created an island with many shinies and now stock it with more lethal versions of your golden silk orb weavers and ents with golden apples and healing sap. There is potentially a massive amount of dangerous wildlife and terrain on this island.

Yaos: You attempt to resurrect the parents but they are already on Slytha, having done little in the way of the impressive. (plot-lock). You also inspire some random non-human adventurers to go to the island. Few stay for more than a week on account of the dangers.

(Also, the GM is out to get you! All of you! Run! Realistically, if you feel you're getting too much attention, it's probably because your output is also above the mean player output.)

They are accepted and welcomed. Yaos makes the wind blow so that any shinies that would've hit someone and hurt them gets lightly pushed by the wind so they just miss their targets.

"Thank you for introducing the Armu to my people with such friendly terms, Fusil. I was wondering if you could perhaps make a pair of swords with which to arm a couple of archangels I plan to make. You can choose the shape, size, and design with three constraints: they ought to be able to be wielded by the average adult human; the black sword must be one-handed; they should both be capable of stabbing and slashing."

Spoiler: Zephemural (click to show/hide)

A black, indestructible sword. It is sentient. It can reject a user by becoming too heavy to wield properly and by refusing to cut anyone, save the person attempting to use it. It can accept a person as its user if it deems them worthy, at which point it becomes half as heavy as a regular sword, and it will not cut its user. Once it has selected a user, it will remain the user's sword until the user dies or else if the user discards or neglects the sword (put it in an attic and leave it there to get cobwebs).
As the user improves their body and as the user increases their skill and attunement to the sword, a black, indestructible armour of the same material as the sword itself will begin to grow on the user, starting from the sword-hand, and slowly covering the rest of the body, starting from the sword-arm. It normally takes decades until any being (including untuned archangels) gets good enough to cover their entire body. The face portion of the armour is mask-like and allows for sight, breathing, and legible speech. The user can will for more or less armour to grow (up to the currently attained maximum), and the user must do this in order to sheath or throw the sword, as the sword itself is attached to the armour.
The sword is non-magical in nature, as is the armour. Magic cannot be channelled out of the sword or the armour.

Spoiler: Telialas (click to show/hide)

A white, indestructible sword. It is sentient. It can reject a user by becoming too heavy to wield properly and by refusing to cut anyone, save the person attempting to use it. It can accept a person as its user if it deems them worthy, at which point it becomes half as heavy as a regular sword, and it will not cut its user. Once it has selected a user, it will remain the user's sword until the user dies or else if the user discards or neglects the sword (put it in an attic and leave it there to get cobwebs).
The user is able to fire small bursts or large waves of energy. This energy comes from the sword itself but can also come from the user. As the user improves their ability to channel energy, and as the user increases their skill and attunement to the sword, the user is able to fire more powerful bursts and waves. Energy attacks work like this: on soft targets (living beings), the energy cuts. On hard targets (walls, buildings, exceptionally hard armour, etc.), the energy explodes. It, like any other weapon, can also be used to channel regular magic, but it does so with a noticeably bigger bonus than any mortal-made weapon.
The sword is magical in nature but even those without magic can use it since it relies on energy rather than magic.

Spoiler: Sword Design Edits (click to show/hide)

(I changed some of the characteristics of the swords. First, I made it so only the body is important when dealing with Zephemural, rather than body and mind. I also made it clear that magic cannot be channelled through Zephemural's metal.
I changed Telialas a fair bit more than Zephemural. I changed it so that even non-magical people are able to wield it and changed its requirements for better energy attacks to skill in channelling energy rather than channelling magic. It can still channel magic, however, and does so better than any mortal-made artifact.)

EDIT: (IMPORTANT: The swords don't get sentience until the archangels are made. The swords should fit the archangels perfectly so they can get maximum power out of them immediately. It would also align the swords to accept only human-based beings as their users.)

EDIT2: How's the Duondio doing? Has s/he been doing well with the whole making the world a better place business?

Tick 17.4: Angry Alphabet and And and Affability and Ands

Serac has created a pocket dimension within the Plane of Water and Bubbles with the intention of using it as a prison and has created the crab-shaped Angel of Bubbles Nuparhi with the aid of the powerful Sorae mystics. A hard, sonorous, and glowing metal has recently been discovered by the Sorae.

Fusil has almost attempted to capture a follower of Anath planning to summon Anath in the mistaken belief that Anath is a Void Thing.

Yaos has assigned a sickly child's elder sister as caretaker and ordered that human mages preserve the bodies of their noble parents. This turns out to have been redundant, as the house has had a tradition of embalming and preserving bodies. Additionally, Yaos has reappeared a somewhat zealously arrested Keshan human who coveted a Celestial Coin, almost caused an interimperial incident, created 300 Saeva, and requested a starting sample of Wargs, or human-ridable wolf-derived creatures from Joha.

Azem has rescattered Pieces of Eight not owned by his creatures to places where they are more likely to be found by his own creatures. Here are some recent, notable prayers:
Some Sorae on your treasure island pray for your guidance in their quest for shinies
Golem foreman: "Lord Azem, May We Construct A Temple On Your Island That You May Have A Good Shiny Storehouse? We Will Fill It With Traps Made Of Shiny Metals."
Alprozem, having grown somewhat wiser, has asked for your advice on his rashly issued prohibition of mates for your clergy.
Gem Council Quartz: "Does the Void contain or have shinies, Azem?"

Joha has listened for some prayers and hears these:
"Lady Joha, do you have any recommendations on how to start an Experiment-House of Life (read: laboratory)? We have many great ideas and nowhere to execute them."
A wood elf walks into a bar. "Joha! My head!"
Kifo asks if you would like to play cards with some angels and recently dead mortals.
"By Joh', I wish the wood wern't so thick! Then we'd already be tradin' days ago."
A suspicious little girl asks for a pony but with a tentacle mouth.

Joha has also created glowing sky jellyfish that build impressive structures unaffected by gravity out of cloudstuff*.

Some of Fusil's Armu have joined a Mountwyrm caravan and made contact with the Gruen. Much trading ensues, as many Gruen are curious about the potential transformations resulting from consuming the exotic ores. Fusil has also recently propagated the Armu to around 3 million individuals, making them a significant power.

Yaos and Joha have attempted to resurrect the dead nobles, but this seems to have met with failure despite their efforts. Perhaps if they would like to consume an exorbitant amount of Essence, fate could be persuaded to allow this resurrection to proceed. The grandfather has already cycled back to Keshan after dying as an infant and is currently in a poor area in a human town and was, in any case, dead from an alcohol-related incident long before the children's father died.

(Actually, resurrections would probably be spotty under the best of conditions under the current system. Most mortals probably just flip worlds quickly and the resurrection would be equivalent to killing their otherworldselves. If you skimmed off enough mortals for your afterlife that the chance of a particular mortal soul being in your plane approached or exceeded 5% or so, the living, Worship-capable segment of your race would decrease.)

Azem has filled a recently discovered, gold-rich island with golden apple ents with healing sap and deadly giant golden silk orb weavers. The island holds vast wealth beyond most adventurers' wildest imaginations as well as vast danger in the form of its guardians. Yaos has inspired some non-humans to visit the island. Most return within a week. Azem has also opened up the island for other gods to make more dangerous.

The Hummingbirds have recently been inhabiting a ring of trees around the Tree of Balance to watch for the movements of troops through their forest. At the School, currently frequently debated topics include the role of imbalance in driving change and whether to open the School up to more than debates and some teaching.

Anath has created the Nightguard order consisting of faithful, priestly warriors to defend his creations. He also checks on the mortal who wanted to summon him. It turns out that the "summoning spell" was a recipe for jelly rolls written in a phoneme substitution cipher and that the main reason for why he paid so much to a shady magic merchant to summon Anath was because he wanted nights to be an hour longer every day of the year.

Yaos has answered some prayers! A request to be as tall as a mountain has been ignored, a plea for healing for the little brother of the not-heiress (by divine mandate) has been postponed, a group of cheating children playing Battlemallet: Void Decay have been ignored, an Inquisitor's gratitude has been acknowledged, and a little child's request for doll Pymalionification has been ignored despite the minor pun potential in granting pumpkinification instead. The Duondio seems not to have done much. In the absence of any real work or missions, he seems to be working as a farm hand in a random human village, training Moisten Surface (water) during drier periods, Linear Distribute Granular Objects (air) when planting, Small Localized Vortex when winnowing, and Even Heat Ellipsoidal Object (fire) when baking bread. This will likely have some influence on the abilities he acquires in the future.

The Armu have made contact with the humans, giving vast amounts of gifts to them. All this charity is starting to cause some inflation.

(The price of granting sapience to Wargs will be around High 1-2 but will be easily resisted)

Artisanii has charged some Muses with guarding the Library in general and the room containing Forbidden Books specifically and requests reports on who is taking the books (easy) or using the Library for nefarious purposes (not so easy). Some Muses accost the gods in the Forbidden Book room after noting that a few of the gods failed to return their books to their proper locations or failed to return them completely.

Now, what is the next major race? I suppose it would be the Night Elves. The Armu appear during the day high above the town, transforming the midday to almost night. The only light visible above the Night Elf town is the Armu, who are shining like stars. They then descend to the night elf settlement, turning off the lights as they get near, greeting the Night Elves and their leadership.

Also: Does inflation *really* mean anything when I gave all my followers godlike magic?

Hm... I have this one shrine somewhere around here that has an artifact that could be useful for that... other than that, try to collect a largeish number of elves with similar wishes. I could certainly help you with that (not to mention that it's likely much safer).

    A suspicious little girl asks for a pony but with a tentacle mouth.

Dah, ain't that the cutest? Sounds like something my daughter would do, if I had one. Taking pity on her, I find a little Armu girl and take her to the kid. Before they meet, the Armu uses her powers to transform herself into the shape a pony, keeping her tentacle near her mouth. Now she has a pony with a tentacle mouth that can talk, warp reality, and fight a war as a friend!

"I want my doll to be alive! Make it happen now!"

Ah, sentient dolls. Many would agree with me that these are the best kind. I find the soul or a repentant criminal (hopefully for a crime that doesn't involve children, probably female to fit the doll) and, instead of reincarnating them normally, put the soul into the doll. They will stay there as penance for one lifetime, until the crime is sufficiently payed for, or until it goes crazy.

"I wish my little brother would get better, but not even the priests can heal him and my inheritance is running out." (plot-block)

By far the most sad.

I have appeared before you because I am worried for your brother. His illness is one neither I nor Joha ccan heal, which is distressing. Fusil hopes to cure him with ent-stuff but I am doubtful. I suspect Void influence but will need to examine him to be sure. Do I have your permission?"

Azem has rescattered Pieces of Eight not owned by his creatures to places where they are more likely to be found by his own creatures. Here are some recent, notable prayers:
Some Sorae on your treasure island pray for your guidance in their quest for shinies
Golem foreman: "Lord Azem, May We Construct A Temple On Your Island That You May Have A Good Shiny Storehouse? We Will Fill It With Traps Made Of Shiny Metals."
Alprozem, having grown somewhat wiser, has asked for your advice on his rashly issued prohibition of mates for your clergy.
Gem Council Quartz: "Does the Void contain or have shinies, Azem?"

Azem blesses the Sorae,

"I would be honored if you did so."
"More births is always a good thing. Let them have mates if they so desire."
"I can tell you with the utmost certainty that does not."

Azem creates two basic angels.

Locate the perfect mate for Alprozem and subtly lure the mate to his location. Make it seem random and don't let on that I'm involved. Don't force anything, just try to pick a good natural match.
(Totally not acting out of character. He's technically hungering for something so I say it's still within my sphere.)

Also enable sufficiently faithful Gruen such as priests to use the faith of the Gruen population to perform minor miracles to make up for my negligence thus far in checking on them.

Awaken from your delicate sleep.

Create spiritual Rhinos of Light. These rhinos of light wander the plains and appear to very tired soldiers. A soldier who is visited by such a Whirikatuanda is strenghtened for battle for the next three days. The blessed will not sleep, he will be able to see in the dark, he will be tireless. After the three days the blessed will fall asleep and dream of his quest to come. The Whirikatuanda appear only to the devout believers of the Light and some few who have the Light sparkling in them without knowing the lecture.

Teach the Luminee to herd and domesticate llamas.

Tick 18: Battle buying BETA

The Armu have made contact with the Night Elves. Maps of the Shadowdeep* are exchanged, as are many interestingly shaped weapons and trinkets. The Armu seem to like the metal star maps the Night Elves construct.

(Fusil: It matters to anyone using currency, and you can't really do major actions without some casualties. Minor actions are still possible and fairly easy without too many deaths.)

Serac has begun listening to some prayers:
"If only Serac made the electric rays around our towns more intelligent and trainable."
"Can you make us bright and colorful island turtles?"
"It's hard to heat metal enough out in the open sea on top of a living creature. Can you show us a way, O Serac?"
"The tides are always bad when we try to dock for trade. Fix this!"

The golems have sent an emissary to the gremlins. The gremlins, recognizing the Firstborn of Khaziraad, immediately begin asking to hire it or send production orders to their famous ultramafic island furnaces. The golem offers to transport a small group of skilled craftsgremlins back to the nearest golem settlement, and many jump at the opportunity for seeing how the golems' lands look.

The blessed painter is currently completing a commission for a carricature of a local administrator. Artisanii has announced a new Contest for sculptors and engravers! The Mantra begin spreading the news everywhere.

Interesting recent Gruen mutations include the following:
Electric muscles/organs from the giant electric rays
Gliding from flying squirrels
Heat resistance from some clay soil
Metallic ridges from assorted metal lumps
Saltwater gills from assorted fish

A few dozen Slythan lifeweavers have joined together to form the first Experiment-House of Life. They wait for guidance from Joha on what to do next. Kifo has begun playing Cheat. None of the mortals get resurrections, and it seems that all the present angels are quite skilled anyway.

Joha has helped shift some trees to make trade to Wood Elven cities easier. This increases trade volume. and has named the jellyfish Ikan.

Fusil has granted a suspicious girl's  unanswered wish for a pony with a tentacle mouth by transforming a female Armu into a pony-shaped creature. The suspicious girl detects no Funny Energy and becomes annoyed with the Armu. He has also granted a wish for a sentient doll by binding a very recently dead female petty thief into a doll.

Tykki: "No, Sir. Even the power of Yaos and Joha could not heal him. Perhaps his sister may be persuaded to learn magic, Sir?"

Azem has blessed the party of Sorae attempting to collect a few shinies from the island. After a few days on the island, they run back to their transport, having successfully collected a golden apple despite having a powerful illusion mage. They leave a few hours before a golem construction company arrives to build a trap-filled temple of treasure. Alprozem seems content that your response was not one of anger or annoyance and spreads the news to all the levels of clergy.
Gem Council Quartz: "Azemsewit!"

Azem has also created two basic angels. Grauel has begun subtle matchmaking for Alprozem, ancient Prophet of Azem and Guardian of the First Piece. A ruby dragon arrives.

Grauel has granted priests limited control over prayers and access to the people's Belief for the purpose of fulfilling them.

The Light has created three Rhinos of Light, which appear to tired soldiers and bless them to be indefatigable and strengthened for three days. After this, those blessed by the Whirikatuanda will sleep and dream of their special quests. The Whirikatuanda seek only those who are of the Light.

The Luminee have begun herding and taming llamas.

Pff. Little girl disappointed in a FREE talking tentacle pony? I didn't even know they could feel eldrich energies. I might have to get her to join Strike Team Fusil.

(Fusil: It matters to anyone using currency, and you can't really do major actions without some casualties. Minor actions are still possible and fairly easy without too many deaths.)

Pff. What does the god of Weapons care for silly mortal "economies"? They should just use weapons as a currency if it is that bad to them.

Anyway, four races left. Might as well get them all out in one foul swoop.

A group of Armu appears to the golums, coming out of their statues. They offer a verity of colorful construction-quality rocks, because apparently some people care about "economies". They also talk with the leadership, insuring lasting piece. Do this on both worlds, of course.

For the Lumanee, they arrive from the sky again, this time in the direction of the sun, lightly glowing white light. Yep, I am running out of cool contact ideas.

For the Hummingbirds, the group of Armu come towards town balancing shields on spear tips, using several arms to do so. They are also humming the popular songs of the Armu, because why not.

Finally, the Wood Elves. The Armu come out of the trees around the wood elf settlements, and offer them fertilizer. Because everyone else already got all the good stuff. Talk to their leadership ECT.

The Sorea and other Beings can go drown for all I care. Water god's corrupted followers...

Anath appears before his followers, and asks that they build him a grand temple on the locations he made the first Star Elves (one temple per world), where the Nightguard will be headquartered and where his most highest priests can have a home base.

"Can you make us bright and colorful island turtles?"

Why? Making each island turtle colourful will only promote competition.

"It's hard to heat metal enough out in the open sea on top of a living creature. Can you show us a way, O Serac?"

And I meant to give that to the Ritan. The names were the other way originally...
Move the metal over to the Ritan? Would that have any harmful effects?

You have wings... I will grant you floatstone.
Replace the current metal with a stone, that when exposed to light (any light) will float into the air.

Yaos:
Bereaved girl: "You stupid gods only ever make things worse! He was already sick before and now he's only getting worse! I hate you all! Get ooout! Get out!"
The girl seems to be too distressed to converse meaningfully with you at the moment. You should probably wait until she is in less of an angrysad mood. (fateblock)

(The reason for why I drafted it such that afterlife residents don't provide any Worship is because letting them give Worship would actually reward having dead followers removed from the worlds (and also because they are technically immortal while in the afterlife).)

Fusil:
Armu-Golem contact: Much trade ensues as the Golems buy samples of the colorful rocks for testing and potentially building. The Armu are undoubtedly pleased by the array of many precision-cast and some precision-forged weapons made from various fantastic metals.

Armu-Luminee contact: The Luminee playwrights in this area seem to be interested in ultra-configurable intelligent stage hands and props. They hire a number of Armu.

Armu-Hummingbird contact: The Hummingbirds are impressed by your display of shields on spears but politely ask the Armu to stop the screeching or pay a fine. Some of the more intellectually inclined Armu stay at the School (and the current debate is about whether to widen and repave the road to the local Tree.

Armu-Wood Elf contact: The Armu offer much...fertilizer... to the Wood Elves. The Wood Elves buy a few samples for study and converse with the leaders of the Armu greeting party. It seems a few Armu want to join the Experiment-House on Slytha.

Anath: You have commisioned a temple on each world at the location of creation of the first Star Elves. The Nightguard and highest priests will be quartered in these temples.

(Serac actually has bought passive Void immunity for all his creations. This will obviously not work if they persist in following the Void because of free will issues, but it keeps background Void energy from mutating anyone not interested in being mutated.)

(Serac: -1+1E)
Serac: You make the electric rays more trainable and intelligent. There are now Electric Rayces around the Ritan towns.

(There are no harmful effects in moving the metal to the Ritan, but they are somewhat less able to get a good furnace than the Ritan, who have their citadel and friendly coastal land-dwellers with metal-working equipment.)

The Ritan have discovered a hard, melodious, and glowing metal! Unfortunately, it is hard to work metal underwater.

The Sorae have discovered floatstone, which floats when illuminated by any form of light. They find it quite useful for sports, docking, and the transport of small amounts of stuff.

(what? Im confused. I dont want dead followers to worship me from the afterlife. You said that if the population in the afterlife was equal to or greater than 5% of the mortal population, id get less worship quality from the kiving mortals. The proposal is to prevent the dead population from affecting the worship quality of those still willing.)

(Oh! I meant that if you skim 5% of your worshippers for the afterlife per tick, you're basically canceling out your worshippers' birth rate. It doesn't reduce the Quality or anything like that. They're almost like abstain votes or something (probably closer to "or something").)

(No. You see, we all have our followers reviving. If an Armu dies, he wakes up as a baby in the next world. So if we have 100 followers and they die, we still have 100 followers. You take them out of that cycle despite my warnings. So if you have 100 followers and they all die, now you only have 95. And repeat. That is why you are losing essence. Not directly because of the size of it, but because you are taking people out of the natural cycle. At least, that is what I think he is saying. )

The Armu may do as they wish, be that study in the laboratory or attend school. As long as my children are happy, I am happy.

"I propose that even if theres no souls waiting for reincarnation, babies will still be born. That way, people can go to private afterlives without adversely affecting our worshipper base."

@Fusil: "I didnt kill the mother you ass! And the babys sickness has nothing to do with his parents being dead! If it was a normal sickness either I or Joha could heal him but we cant.

Recently, a human nobleman has died in a skirmish against the Gruen. His son, the eldest of the family, attempted to collect the Celestial Coins so as to wish his father back to life. Unfortunately for him, the Inquisition demanded the Coins and he resisted, resulting in his death. His wife has also recently died, but the cause of this seems to have been giving birth.

(He fought with the Gruen because the God of Humans went to war with them. And his son was killed by the inquisition, which I may or may not have confused him for.)

Grauel empowers his creatures that they may eat the beings I manifested from and am sworn to protect, but I do not hate him. The Void beings attack us with Eldritch monstrosities, mutate our creations, and strive to tear apart the gods in this council, but I do not hate them. Cim, despite being the god of law, goes behind all of our backs and 'disarms' you by stealing one of your angels. Seeing as how he could theoretically do that to any one of our angels, there is a case for me hating him, but I do not. Artisanii, who, like Cim, went behind all our backs and collected without consent and without informing the people involved, took their private thoughts and stored them in his library, yet I do not hate him.
But with that one little sentence, Fusil, you have driven me to hate you. I hate you, Fusil. I hate you."

Yaos checks the library to see if the private recollections, thoughts, memories, and written objects made by the gods or their angels is still being collected and stored. She then takes human form and eats a jelly roll sandwich at some sandwich shop or something. It's been a long day.

Cim sets the baby into unconscious stasis.

"That should stop the disase from progressing and keep him from pain, or would if the disease was mundane; as it isn't, I cannot tell with complete certainty. I will release him at your word, but this remedy should give us more time to search for a cure. Now, Yaos, would you explain why you've escalated one sick mortal (even if the sickness is something special) to this level?"

"Escalate? What do you mean by escalate? The worst I did was wait a little from attempting to heal him so that I can get advice from the other gods. I STILL haven't done anything to him because I don't know WHAT to do."

((Yaos isn't lying. At the very least that's all she and I think she's done.))

EDIT: ((I think by 'You stupid gods only ever make things worse!' she's referring to how the Inquisitors killed her brother. Otherwise, some Void beings impersonated us and went down themselves to make things worse.

Yaos makes sure to keep an eye on the brother to see if any suspicious beings attempt to do anything to it.

She also listens to some prayers.

"I...you..." *sigh* "You have a point Cim. But I still think Fusil was out of line telling me to help him when it's already well-known that I can't, even with the help of the Goddess of LIFE. I suspect that the baby will not simply die and reincarnate, however. I'm guessing - and I'm JUST guessing - that he's being used as a sacrifice or living portal or something to summon a Void being. I have no evidence to support this. It's just a hunch.

Aside from doing the stuff mentioned in the edits from Andres' previous posts, Yaos also makes it so that no matter what, the brother and sister go to the Human Plane after death. Worst case scenario (sacrificial void portal), it can at least be trapped in a dimension owned and controlled by a god.

Calm down fellow gods, we shouldn't let tiny problem in the mortal world create such anger and hatred, if the mortal prove to be too much of a problem we can always get rid of them and the start new.

Also I think the world is a bit bland , maybe we should add a variety of things to it?


I propose that we populate the world with numerous gigantic carnivorous plants, underground vegetations, giant mythical beasts that roam the land and maybe a bronze colossuses or three. Or just mythical creatures of gigantic proportion. So the mortal can forge some interesting legends.

I propose that we populate the world with numerous gigantic carnivorous plants, underground vegetations, giant mythical beasts that roam the land and maybe a bronze colossuses or three. Or just mythical creatures of gigantic proportion. So the mortal can forge some interesting legends.

"Speaking of controversy, I wonder how my plans to create celebrities is going."

Check to see how Project: Celebrity is doing. If the GM has forgotten, Project: Celebrity involves taking away normal human physical restraints from the devoted (so long as the increased devotion gives more Essence than it takes to give the blessing). This is primarily so that athletes such as ball-players, wrestlers, etc. will need to show as much devotion as possible to stay on top of the competition and thus inspire their fans to do the same. If they can sell overpriced shoes and cancer-inducing sugar water they can probably sell religion too!

"Ah yes, let the athletes, the philosophers, the magicians, the thinkers, the painters and the poets each attend an event every seventh year. This event should test all said skills, and the winner of each shall be praised and glorified for all eternity."

Create an underground species of glowing mushrooms. They are unable to move as they are stationary, but they can hear VERY well, and through their chemical senses and such they communicate. Their purpose is to gather all information they can get. This knowledge they find is saved in the hive consciousness. The most important bits of knowledge are saved not only by the hive, but also one of the mushroom castes creates gems storing this information by magic and chemistry.

The Castes of the Luuvan
Communicators: Rare and only produced in places with frequent travellers coming by, they are usually produced to warn or to trick people of oncoming dangers, they are usually surrounded by many Sense-Based Luuvan

Knowledge Keeper: For every 150 Luuvan there is at least one Keeper. They gather the information and create Knowledge Gems

Spore Belcher: The biggest in size of all the castes, their purpose is to create spores and spit them anywhere. Usually placed at crossroads in cave systems, so they can spread their spores in all directions.

Eye Stalker: Common caste, exists to see
Ear Wall: Common caste which spreads on walls, exists to hear
Feeler: Very small in size, yet numerous, they spread over floors and send the signals of movement through the mushroom network hive mind
Chemistry: Rare Sensory mushrooms with heightened chemical sense, there to smell fires coming or chemical inbalances in the air.
Defending Stalks: There is three different subcastes to this caste, these mushrooms exist to defend the hive. One of the subcastes shoots hardened spikes, the second caste sprays a terribly smelling miasma, while the third, least common, caste shoots with acid.

Each hive is dedicated to gathering knowledge, and will expand towards the most likely source of interesting information. So a city canalisation seems like one good place to settle.

Dah, ain't that the cutest? Sounds like something my daughter would do, if I had one. Taking pity on her, I find a little Armu girl and take her to the kid. Before they meet, the Armu uses her powers to transform herself into the shape a pony, keeping her tentacle near her mouth. Now she has a pony with a tentacle mouth that can talk, warp reality, and fight a war as a friend!

Inspiring the Dwarven king to dig deeper was pointless - he was going to do so anyway. Inspiring him too greatly led his subjects to prevent any such digging to be conducted, so that route is blocked. But what about the ones who dig themselves? Yaos inspires a small group of miners to secretly dig tunnels deeper. When they eventually uncover riches, it will convince the other denizens of the fortress to allow proper mining of the deeper earth. If the miners are discovered, they can simply get pardoned by the king, whose desire to dig deeper has not subsided. The secret miners will then continue with their work.

Tick 19: Close and Cold Calls

The Armu have, under Fusil's command, made contact with many of the remaining races. Their unique Cosmic attunement and array of exotic materials give them much success. On Slytha, they will undoubtedly be of great assistance for the Wood Elven laboratory.

A group of Star Elves have constructed a temple complex in the Caves of the Firstborn* for the purpose of quartering the highest priests and the Nightguard.

Some Ritan towns have begun holding Electric Rayces* in which trained giant electric rays race around an assigned track. This brings much joy and entertainment to the people. They have also discovered a sonorous, shiny metal with the guidance of Serac, and the Sorae have discovered floatstone, which ascends when illuminated. They find it useful for sports, docking, and the equivalent of hot air balloons (even if an avian race probably wouldn't need them much).

Yaos has attempted to diagnose the ill little brother of the desperate lady. The brother seems to have an incurable case of a fate-al illness. Cim has fixed and released the little brother (in time), who still seems to be incurably ill. It has also attempted to examine his mind for signs of the Void (of which there are none). Yaos has monitored their residence, and there is no significant trace of the Void over the Cosmic Eldritch Background (CEB), and finally, Yaos has claimed both their souls for the Plane of Humans and Ambition. The lady has renounced and denounced all the gods and used what magic she has learned to travel out into the wilderness and disappear from divine eyes. None of you can see anything about either of them for a few decades.

Artisanii looks into the Library. Varee is still standing in the middle of the way not doing anything. Anath and Fusil seem to have left. The shelf Anath was using seems to have been tidied up.

The Yaos have summoned a Retconjurer to Void the incident where they tried to order the arrest of an immigrant Star Elf for possession of a Celestial Coin. It has so little effect on anything else in the future that it works without any problems. They have also checked on the Library to see if additional godly information is available. There are no new items containing personal information regarding the gods or their servants. Tensions seem to be developing between Yaos and Fusil. These are some prayers addressed to Yaos:
"Yaos, should I start a farm outside town?"
"By Yaos, I wonder if I should wear my new hat."
"Hahahahaha, oh Yaos that's hilarious!"

Yaos has checked on Project: Celebrity. While there are a few high-profile followers who have achieved much, they are far quieter and more humble (and somewhat less ambitious) than most of the results, who seem to be loud and obnoxious about their enhanced abilities. This still results in many fan conversions, but probably not as many as if you selected against boastfulness specifically.

The Light has started an event set for once every seven years testing all sorts of skills and has created the Luuvan, a sessile race of knowledge-seeking glowing fungi divided into many castes. They record obtained knowledge into gems, and they start out underground.

Some Dwarves have begun to dig deeper. They find entire veins of native gold and begin digging a lot wider than deeper.

Azem has created a race of Black Dragons to make the Island of Greed and Death* more dangerous and more mythic. Khaziraad has created a number of color-changing spiders with fast-acting neurotoxic venom for the Island. Azem has allowed a Gem Dragon to ingest large quantities of Gruen spores. The resulting Grue Dragon is now cyan-colored, large, and ravenous. It may now have some capacity for Gruen-like adaptation as well.

Finally, an unruly peasant mob has burned down an Inquisition building.

This update's dominant constellations are the Crown and Eye. The Keshan aurora are more visible. The Slythan ice ring is slightly visible.

In many ways, it resembles forgetting to put a resistance gene in your vector's insert or not using a treated growth medium.

(Anyone know what any of this technobabble even means?)

I ignore the prayer except for farm guy - who I advice should move to one of the colonies. (Why are the colonies so low in population? The whole point of them was because there was overpopulation in human cities (SOMEHOW WITH A MERE HUNDRED THOUSAND HUMANS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD) so why aren't there more people there?)

Yaos is pleased about how Project: Celebrity is turned out. He's a little disappointed it didn't work quite as well as he hoped he would but he fears that trying to do anything else in that area would incur further wrath from the God Manager. He also wonders why the Deity Master calls him 'The' Yaos instead of just 'Yaos'.

Moving on, he goes to see on his dwarves. He sees that they have found gold and are now digging wider rather than deeper. Luckily, the INCEPTION he performed on the small group of deep-miners (now known as the Freeminers) was to DIG DEEPER with the caveat that the idea will not naturally go away on its own. He still expects the Freeminers to continue digging deeper in secret, with the king continuing to bail them out if needed.

"I would like everyone to take another look at Proposal 18.00 and advise them to support it. There are no downsides to doing so - only upsides. Personally, I think the soul spawn rate should be high enough to allow births that would not be able to happen if afterlives are involved."

(Regarding bacterial transformation: Fixed, should really not write updates and study that at the same time.)

The farmer joins the next party moving to a colony. (The colonies are non-existent on the war map because of balance and map issues which may eventually be cleared up. I have no idea about the colonies in the main canon, though.)

(Pretty much any automated boost or curse system applied to mortals will be likely to run into Literal Genie problems, especially if it is insufficiently rigorous or specific. This represents the lack of attention paid in exchange for the convenience of automation and is not a sign of any annoyance or wrath.)

The Yaos is called such with the definite article because the GodManager finds it confusing to write about multiple beings sharing a name and flickering between grammatical categories. but the GodManager is open to suggestions on this issue.

The Underking is pleased with the large boost in gold production and feels they have dug perfectly deep and would be taking a massive risk if they dug much deeper. It is very hard to turn Dwarves away from such a ready source of gold especially when you only use dreamnudges on them and they have free will, whatever that phrase could possibly mean.

(Biologically, a somewhat simple definition is that vectors are a manner transferring genes from one organism to another using DNA. A possibly familiar example is using viruses, which can insert their own coding into DNA of living organisms by the same manner they reproduce with. It can be used for a lot of different things like introducing certain genes to plants to make them more survivable or less practically, introducing luminescence to animals and plants that usually don't glow. Actually they even did that to pigs in one experiment I remember learning about. Resistance Vectors, I'm assuming means transferring genes that give resistance to something; eg antibiotic resistance being transferred into certain bacteria that didn't initially have it. An insert is just a piece of DNA that is inserted into a larger DNA Vector. Treated growth medium means it's growth medium that has had contaminations removed. Think treated water; it's more pure.)

Edit: Not to be intrusive but are you a biology or biotech major? Actually that's really none of my business. Just enjoy the fields.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 29, 2014, 08:03:57 pm

The Yaos is called such with the definite article because the GodManager finds it confusing to write about multiple beings sharing a name and flickering between grammatical categories. but the GodManager is open to suggestions on this issue.

(What multiple beings? There is only one Yaos.)

"I continue to urge gods to SUPPORT Proposal 18.00. We lose nothing from signing it into effect and it will prevent bad and entirely preventable things from happening to us. Serac, Anath, Azem, Cim, Varee, I expect all of you to support this considering you all have your own afterlives. Wouldn't it be better if they DIDN'T detract from your worshipper base? Don't you want more freedom - as gods, I'll remind - to do as you see fit without negative consequence?"

He also reminds him that the first time they 'dug too deep' they found monsters in a cavern that freely gave them shinies, and then the second time they 'dug too deep' they found a massive amount of gold. Surely this is proof that there is no real thing as 'digging too deep' - just 'digging deeper'.
If that's still not enough I show the king that the Gem Dragons are much more wealthy than the dwarves, even with the recent discovery (if they aren't, I show a fabricated image of their wealth). Yaos also shows that they are powerful and would beat the dwarves in a fight, so the only way to properly match their wealth and claim an actual sense of satisfaction would be to dig deeper and gain more wealth, since simply taking the wealth from the Gem Dragons owuld be nigh impossible while digging deeper has always proven to be very much worth it.
If even that's not enough to do it, Yaos encourages more dwarven kings to dig deeper and match the first dwarven king in wealth. This would make the first one a bit upset that he's no more wealthy or special than any other king and so would probably begin to feel he needs to acquire more wealth to make up for it. If the desired effect is achieved but to a limited amount so that he's still not willing to go further, Yaos gives that extra little nudge to make it happen.
Regardless of what happens with the king, she inspires the most greedy, the most ambitious, and the most reckless dwarves to see what's just a little bit deeper. That IS the nature (and motto) of the Freeminers after all - DIG DEEPER AND DAMN THE DETRIMENTALS.

(That enough detail for you? I did a bit of alliteration in the end for some brown-nosing APPRECIATION FOR YOUR CLEVER TITLING SCHEME OF COURSE.)

EDIT: Yaos listens to more prayers. This time, filtering out the mundane 'by Yaos!' statements and choosing instead to listen to the more meaningful, heartfelt, dangerous, and/or interesting wishes. Wishes to become gods are - as always - ignored.

He also considers making an angel that has even less combat ability than Controller Angels (as in, so a teenage human could beat him up) but without the psi-abilities. The purpose of this angel is merely to observe humanity and give helpful advice to Yaos each Tick.

"I oppose this. You continue to toy with powers you do not understand, for your own selfish gain, because you don't find the reincarnation system 'good enough' for your followers. You should not toy around with mortal souls. Simply leave things as they are, for fear you might ruin the perfect system we have now for petty reasons. Also, quit trying to make the Dwarves dig deeper. Why are you even doing that? Focus on your own followers, you have a war on the horizon. If you are going to manipulate others, at least do it to your advantage instead of for randomness."

(There seems to be a grave misunderstanding. The GM said that having people already in the afterlife being able to worship you would be broken. I agree and I DO NOT want that. The system I propose makes it so that people in the afterlife are still UNABLE TO WORSHIP but that it does not affect the BIRTH RATE of the LIVING. All Yaos is asking is for an increase in the spawn rate of souls so that more living sapients are able to be born, unaffected by the extraction of souls from the world into the afterlife.

At the moment, souls get reincarnated and can worship while they're alive. If they die and go to an afterlife instead of reincarnating, they stop being able to worship. The problem is that the amount of souls capable of worshipping (those that reincarnate) is decreasing while the amount of souls NOT capable of worshipping (those that go to an afterlife) is increasing. The aim of the proposal is to increase the spawn rate of souls so that the amount of souls capable of worship stays the same regardless of the amount of souls that go to afterlives.

If the proposal passes, souls in the afterlife will REMAIN INCAPABLE of worship.)

"They come from Belief. The belief of the mortals that the birth should happen regardless of if there's a free soul to reincarnate. To increase the amount of souls, they should come from somewhere else, and the most likely choices are either our Essence or the Void. If it is our Essence, we might as well create souls manually, and if it is the Void, the tainted souls might not be worth much for Worship and be counterproductive in that they would decrease our Influence."

(And yes, I am a biochemistry major. Studying that and related subjects is actually more of a hobby than a chore, though. Also, Microbe Wars has been added to the ideas file.)

Azem: The Dwarves on both worlds seem to be fascinated with the sheer size and expanse of the (unrealistically) stable and deep Shadowdeep*. The world down there seems to be just as rich and diverse as the surface world, only without that evil daystar. They have made contact with some Night Elves, but the results of such contact remains a mystery with the ink-black twisting, labyrinthine caves reducing the chance of further contact. Some rumors exist of ancient, powerful beings buried deep in the planet's cores, but surely no one would be able to survive with such heat and pressure, and the gods didn't actually bother with the planets' interiors anyway.

As for the Mountwyrms, they have opened up some sparse sea trade routes between important towns. While Serac's creations still hold a monopoly on the more important routes, Mountwyrm trade companies abound in the more numerous or dangerous lanes. Currently, the focus of their ship-building is increased cargo capacity and speed.

(Grauel: -3E)
Grauel: You create the Four Faces of Hunger, each of which greatly increases its wearer's power. They are distributed to random places in the two worlds.

Yaos: The Underking maintains that the Dwarves must dig for treasure more than for the shallow (!) achievement of digging deeper, besides which gold isn't found in such abundance anywhere on account of its apparent attraction to planetary cores. Despite the dreams of the Gem Dragons' wealth, the Underking maintains that digging deeper will only end in tunnel collapses and further loss of miners.

(Yaos: -1E)
You encourage more Underkings to dig deeper. One Underking, who is apparently pregnant, is enraged at this apparent insult to Dwarven women and insists that you call her High Underqueen. While most of them agree that they really would like to match the first Underking (in this subplot) in wealth, most of them agree that hiring more cooks or carving crafts out of readily available marble would be far more efficient and less dangerous.

The Freeminers have gone on strike after a popular miner lost his dominant hand to poor working conditions deep in the mines. They demand working hospitals, working doctors, higher commission, and pensions.

Some particularly greedy, ambitious Dwarves have been inspired to dig deeper. Despite the warnings of the Freeminers, they continue to attempt to dig deeper in the deepest, most recently abandoned sections of the mine. Many die within the first few days.

Yaos also listens to some less-trivial wishes:
"I want to create a book with a list of words and their meanings. I must do it! Yaos and Artisanii help me!"
"Yaos, I need you to check on a house hosting Void cultists. We Inquisitors would do it but whatever."
"When I grow up, I want Yaos to make me an Inquisitatinator."
"By the power of Yaos and friendship, I lift this rock up! No? Curses."
"By my sword and Yaos, I hope to stop these skeletons from bothering us with their rattling."
"O Yaos, could you collapse my neighbor's house? He hosts cultists every evening and they used their Apathy god to make the Inquisition apathetic about it!"

(Yaos: -1E)
Yaos: You create a very weak corporeal helper to watch humanity and provide helpful advice every tick. (Advice dispensed regularly is not guaranteed to be helpful for the OOC reason that you don't always need advice and I don't always have advice to give.)

The Light: The Luuval differentiate further and develop a divine caste and a psionic caste. You also play your trumpet again, inspiring and strengthening many.

On a random, insignificant planet (existing solely for a gag) with water and basic single-celled life, a somehow-rusty asteroid falls in the oceans, turning them rust-colored and killing a significant proportion of them.

(Training a team of miners is not cheap, safe, or fast. As a sort of miners' guild, the Freeminers seem to be more interested in miners' rights, which does frequently end up with them wanting to specify where and how deep to mine. You can't break free will with only some dreamnudges. If you could, they'd be more like dreamshoves or dreamkicks.)

Yaos: Having received your approval, the lexicon-writer has gone to a shrine of Artisanii to seek further guidance from a Muse.
There is a house filled with dead people. None of them really seem to care that they're dead, and their deaths seem to be impressively orderly.
"Yeah! Go Yaos! Yaos Yaos Yaos! Now can I be an Inquisininatinator?"
(As big as a large fist)
"No. Lately there's been a bunch of skeletons practicing their dancing, and no one can sleep."
"He succeeded, but in a boring way."

Jeffrey tells you "I think you should hold a random festival. That should increase your approval."

Azem: You  have given a human governor dreams of the Island of Death and Riches. He has begun assembling a large exploration party in the hope of adding many divine shinies to his treasury. Here are some recent prayers:
"I wish the Sorae would at least let us trade on their routes. They get so much money and do so little with it compared to us."
"Do you have any advice on surviving on your island for a close follower?"
"I wish for my husband's mother to turn into gold."
"Azem, some skilled metallurgists and forge-workers have been producing counterfeit coins. What should i do?"

Spoiler: Chyribylta (click to show/hide)

Name: Chyribylta the Lurker
Sphere: Fear and Ignorance
Primary form/associated symbol: Chyribylta's form is usually seen as either utterly i possible to comprehend, or that It simply does not have a form. It is represented with a black circle with red arms extruding out of it.
Description/Background: It is said that Chyribylta was the God of Knowledge, until It's mastery over truth has driven it insane, corrupting its very nature into the enemy of its own former purpose. This God rides under the unseen guise of a fog or a starless night, spreading distrust between foreigners, persecuting the scholars, and opposing the advancement of knowledge. Yet some say that the God does not hate knowledge, but simply deem the world not ready yet for it as it temper their zeal with caution an d guard dangerous knowledge from being known.

ACK, any secret goals to declare via PM?

Varee: This will cost Low 5-6E. Are you sure?

(Khaziraad: -3E)
Khaziraad: You construct a castle heart and give it to the gremlins. They are impressed by your gift and set out to build an expensive, nigh-indestructible fortification for its core areas.

Joha:
Your Elves on Keshan have increased their trade volume since you shifted the Barrier Wood* to allow for easier access, and they remain firmly neutral. On Slytha, they, along with a mixed crew of mages (of which enough are Cosmic attuned), have created the Iceberg Lettuce (not to be confused with iceberg lettuce), which passively grows ice crystals on its outer leaves as it grows and becomes completely encased in ice around harvest time.

The Lycae have spotted a few isolated human villages but remain cautious and keep themselves mostly hidden and unknown.

The Ikan seem to be mostly unaware that complex life could possibly exist on rough, solid ground, where it is too easy to crash into something to survive. Some of the more adventurous recommend diving deep into the atmosphere and checking for life, but this is dismissed as a ludicrous idea, as nothing larger than a polyp could possibly survive the intense pressure.

(I was referring to how in 1984 they basically raise the children to become like your Inquisitors. One of the minor characters, who followed the law like a sheep, ends up being arrested when his own son accuses him of acting subversive. I am going to guess the Inquisitors are going to end up getting a false report of heresy, killing someone innocent, and getting another base burned down)

That sister worries me. She seems desperate enough to try anything, including summoning void beings or using some other strange powers. I found a book you might want to read...

Spoiler: Void Investigation (click to show/hide)

Day 1: Contacted Tlamneub, Scout of Space. Agreed to train for Void knowledge. Began learning how to move in Void. Not so easy when time is broken.
Day 2: I continue learning how to move. This time, I let go of the Bubble for a split second. I almost end up paradoxing myself on the way back.
Day 3: I move around some more. Tlamneub says I should try absorbing the Void itself next time.
Day 4: Absorbed part of the Void itself. Seems to be distinct from godly Essence or raw magic. Tlamneub says I will know they are the same eventually.
Day 5: Mawol's angels begin searching for the Void contact. I must hurry. I absorb more Void and seem to increase my ability to hold it.
Day 6: Three small towns razed by the more zealous angels. I mourn for Batrina and Drocme but continue in my quest. The gods must be brought to justice. Tlamneub says I can create small Bubbles with enough Void.
Day 7: My capacity increases further. I can create transient, flickering Bubbles in the Void itself but they soon burst from the constant Churn. I absorb more and increase my capacity further. I begin to realize that Void and godly Essence are almost interchangeable.
Day 8: Another town razed by Mawol's angels. My town could be next. I continue absorbing Void and moving around.
Day 9: Mawol's angels are called to assist in repelling a massive Xonal invasion. This will grant me some extra time.
Day 10: My own Bubbles now last for minutes and I can fit inside them. Tlamneub says to stay out, as the consequences of being in a bursting Bubble are severe.
Day 15: I have made a Bubble the size of my house lasting an hour. The Xonals are fighting as fiercely as before.
Day 23: I can now make Bubbles the size of my town lasting a week. Unfortunately, I am poor at dimensional magic. Tlamneub says I can substitute large quantities of Void Essence for some magic skill and raw magic in general.
Day 24: I transport a few rocks in my garden into my Bubble. It seems the space inside the Bubble responds to my very thoughts. I used some Void to create a platform.
Day 27: I have extended my Bubble's duration by years now. If the Xonal fail or succeed, I will be able to live here.
Day 29: A neighbor has noticed my disappearances and reported the issue to the town judge. I must be more careful.
Day 30: I have succeeded in transporting grain and soil to my microcosm. I create water on it using the Void. Tlamneub says I am probably ready to finish it on my own.
Day 33: The Xonal invasion has been repelled. I must hurry.
Day 34: I decided to expand the Bubble to be as large as the Imperial City. It is lonely in here.
Day 35: I managed to create small, friendly, and furry creatures using the Void. They keep me company when I stay here.
Day 36: I tried creating one of our kind, but they seem to be of animal intelligence.
Day 37: The angels have begun trials at my town. In a few days, they will likely question me. I infuse a neighbor's house with the Void. Surely they will look there instead.
Day 38: I have forged a weapon from the Void with Tlamneub's guidance at great cost. It has the power to trap the souls of the divine and pierces at the Essence that binds them. I can only hope that I can indeed beat Mawol's angels.
Day 39: The angels begin questioning me. I take out my weapon and slay them all. Mawol will surely be angry. I consume part of my own life force to transport the entire town into my Bubble.
Day 41: The people believe they have been smitten by Mawol and sent to his heaven. If only they knew.

She's hiding from us so we can't find her, and she's been missing for more than 41 days so if she had taken up the Void we'd already be seeing dead angels. Since we haven't, I don't think she will.

"Good idea, but someone else will have to do it. All my angels are doing stuff and the area is too large for my Inquisitors to do a good search, and they're busy any way."

The Emperor commands the Inquisition to learn more non-lethal combat techniques. The Emperor also reminds them that they are to try to rescue child Heretics so they can be re-educated at a (NON-ORWELLIAN) re-education facility. I'll also remind the God Master that the re-education facilities are more like rehab or lost-and-troubled-teen places than prisons or something and that the Inquisitors are closer to (film version) Men in Black rather than....historical inquisitors.

Tick 20:

The farmer's village seems to be thriving. Not too much seems to happen around them.

The main Underking has recently been irritated by a strike initiated by the Freeminers, who demand better working conditions in the deeper layers of the mine, where spontaneous cave-ins from the pressure are more likely and conditions are far more dangerous. Some independent Dwarves have decided to ignore the Freeminers' mine closure and warnings and dig deeper, resulting in several deaths within the first few days. The other Underkings and Underqueens have decided to match the output of the main Underking through the safer arts of cooking and crafting more readily available stone.

Grauel has created the Four Faces of Hunger, which are masks that greatly increase their wearers' power. They are randomly distributed across both worlds.

The first lexicon has been created with the blessing of both Yaos and Artisanii. It is far from complete, but it is a large, significant step in the direction of prescribed language.

Yaos has created Jeffrey, a minor angel tasked with providing regular advice and watching the humans.

The Light has caused the Luuval to differentiate further to form a divine caste and a psionic caste. They make communication much easier.

A miracle-worker has submitted an entry for Artisanii's sculpture contest. It is a dragon figurine carved from a single grain of sand. Other entries include the following:

• A seated, ponderous Gruen of wood
• A Muse carrying a dead prophet of Luminee of marble
• A pillar on which a horrifying Void epic is inscribed
• A massive statue of Cim in a seat of judgment
• A depiction of a resting human with the head of a tiger
• An arch on which the exploits of a famous Gruen general are listed
• Three Muses facing each other covering their eyes with their hands
• An actual Klein bottle-shaped bronze space with a tiled map of the known world

A group of human children have introduced a playground game in which they become Inquisinitators and chased a group of Heretics around and disappear them by piling on. Many actual Inquisitors are displeased by this potentially inaccurate representation but fear the consequences of interrogating children.

A human has managed to lift a rock through belief. He and a few companions host a large party to celebrate and everyone ish their friendsh, even that god Yaosh.

Chyribylta, god of Fear and Ignorance, has been born in these uncertain times!

Khaziraad has given the gremlins a castle heart, which grows by using and integrating nearby structures.

A cult of Apathy has been exterminated. It seems a bit of a shame when none of the members really even did anything that harmful to anyone else.

The Slythan Wood Elves have invented a new, magical variety of lettuce with the ability to produce ice while growing. The Keshan Wood Elves have increased international trade.

Lycae near human settlements have continued to observe them cautiously. The humans are not aware of this surveillance.

The Ikan remain oblivious of the existence of sapients deep in the atmospheres of both worlds. They are skeptical about the ability of anything to survive the high pressures.

A Humanos Grande stomps a bunch of skeletons in a human village. It seems Kifo was only practicing for the last day of October, when the dead rise and dance to its eerie violin solo.

Jeffrey advises Yaos to hold a festival of war to prepare to send off soldiers for the war. Yaos has opened up heretic rehabilitation facilities (operating on the principle of Voidy talks).

Varee has created 30 000 blob-like shapeshifters across both worlds.

This update's dominant constellations are the Shield and Sword. The Keshan aurora are very clear in the night sky.

Yaos has opened up heretic rehabilitation facilities (operating on the principle of Voidy talks).

(That was actually a reminder that they already exist. The facilities have existed ever since the Inquisitors were a thing and I'd already mentioned them a while ago (the first time I elaborated on the description of the Inquisition if I remember correctly). Void worshippers are not treated as Heretics, but rather as something else entirely.)

"Any advice Jeffrey?"

The dwarves who make profit off of cooking and crafting and stuff are shown images of elves making a living by doing the same thing. They are also shown images of other races secretly laughing at these dwarves calling them things like 'little elves' or 'girly beards' or whatever. The point is to show how shameful it is for proud dwarves such as themselves to put themselves on the same level as elves. They are also shown images of other races looking upon the first Underking with awe and respect by how he gains wealth and that that king and his subjects are truly Dwarven.

((What kind of dwarves are we using? Dwarf Fortress dwarves don't make tunnels that collapse, but then there's the 'time slowing down' thing and the 'meals and crafts' thing so I'm thoroughly confused on how to interact with them.))

(Repost)
@Joha: "So waddya think of my supes awesome idea, Joha? Just a little help with making some angels and I start an annual festival in your honour!" :D "I can also get the Emperor to make some temples for you if you want."

Malik inspires Slythan merchants to compete with the Gem Dragons by trying to corner human economies. Perhaps by instituting a guild or something.

((I also withdrew my own support of Proposal 18.00. You can rid the list of that proposal if you want.))

Yaos checks to see if the Breaker Knights turned in the ones that burned down that village and killed a hundred people. Yaos does NOT want the leaders - just the ones who were in the attack.

(Yeah, all those fields are pretty interesting in my opinion.)

Suddenly I feel a strong urge to check how faithful the Gruen are... Crazy kids with their primordial killing swords and access to eldritch magic. *Mumbles incoherently to self*

Have the Gruen Priests start checking to see how strong faith towards me still is and have them continue strengthening it. Non loyal Gruen are to be rounded up and forced to fill out tedious forms explaining why they turned away from the faith as punishment.

Anath eyes the other gods. "In regard to god slaying swords, we all did sign my accord where we agreed not to try to kill each other. I think 'trying to kill each other with god slaying swords' counts as trying to kill each other, so that's already forbidden."

Anath also checks on the prayers of the Termitia, Star Squid, and Star Dragons since the Night Elves seem to be doing ok.

Yaos: Jeffrey advises that you watch your Essence spending before embarking on large projects.

The Dwarves are slightly disturbed by your images but they find that not losing Dwarves to poorly reinforced tunnels and being able to get a steady income is worth it.

(Our Dwarves are not necessarily all the same (as DF Dwarves). This is why, for example, the Dwarves have not (yet?) hired a bunch of Armu to magically pressurize magma and cause it to erupt everywhere.)

Malik has begun a noble attempt to gain control over the human economies by establishing various guilds. It is difficult to do much when the Gem Council controls so much of the known world's economy and can starve certain towns through "rounding errors," but at least the guilds are now established. Details are foggy, but most seers predict clear skies and then some sleet over the next few nights.

The Breaker Knights seem to remain hidden. The few that are caught are mostly impressionable youth who will surely be swayed after some time in re-education.

Grauel: The Gruen seem to fall on a continuum where one side is fanatical devotion to Hunger and the other one is mild annoyance at hunger pains. They are actually quite faithful, and most of the priests see little reason to start giving you the sphere of Bureaucracy or Paperwork but do take measures to increase fervor (especially among the younger Gruen).

The Grue dragon seems not to be too conflicted, having been created from a dragon of Greed and a race of Hunger. In no time at all, it has established itself as an independent ruler on a hill, guarded by Mountwyrms and Gruen.

Anath: The Termitia have a few prayers:
"I wish I could spit sludge like the legendary Termitian heroes."
"The Tree of Balance sounds delicious. Can you help us eat it?"

Star Squid:
"I wish this whale-like creature would be friendlier to us."
"Can you make us some interesting games to play?"

Star Dragon:
"Should I eat Gruen spores to become a mighty Grue dragon too?"
"Will you create more constellations?"
"Are you space?"

Fusil: The Ikan stare in disbelief as much as jellyfish can and ignore the bizarre, probably Void-tainted creatures found in the trenches of the deep atmosphere. They implore Joha to do something about the corruption.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 31, 2014, 03:32:35 am

The Breaker Knights seem to remain hidden. The few that are caught are mostly impressionable youth who will surely be swayed after some time in re-education.

Due to not accepting the demands given by Yaos, the Breaker Knights are officially labelled as a terrorist group. Using Yaos' Human powers (which allow her to see humans that aren't divinely/Voidically/fate-ally/etcetera cloaked), she finds where terrorist cells are hiding. To dispatch them, a combination of Paladins (who have flamethrowers that allow them to get around the Knights' special abilities) and Humanos Controlados is used. Inquisitors continue to do what they've been doing in regards to youths. They are NOT to initiate combat with any Breaker Knights. Their job is to find Breaker cells that have been cloaked and report them to Paladins and Controlados. Their job also extends to interrogating prisoners to find more cells (go wild with the Orwellian stuff here, but restrict it to the ones actually being interrogated).

Yaos listens to some prayers. She filters out the requests to become a god and the unimportant 'by Yaos' exclamations (but not the important ones). The only exceptions to this filter are when they're said by Heretics, Void associates, or Breaker Knights.

She asks her angels if they're getting any prayers and asks to patch some of them through to her.

She finds an inventor of weapons and war machines and with the boundless power of the God of Humans and Ambition she inspires him to become more inventive with his creations and to possibly create something that would turn the tide in the coming war against the Gruen. She also advises him to seek help from Fusil, for obvious reasons. All this divine thought and energy is magically encapsulated in the words: "get gud m8"

EDIT: To differentiate between normal knights and Breaker Knights, Yaos checks their shields/armour/weapons/whatever-it-was-that-broke-weapons for the enchantment that allows them to break weapons.

EDIT2: Paladins will not use their flamethrowers indoors, in heavily vegetated areas, or in heavily populated areas. If a bunch of Breaker Knights are hiding out in an abandoned barn, the Paladins may use their flamethrowers to light the barn on fire. If they find Breaker Knights in a forest, the Controlados will handle them. If the Breakers are hiding out in a house, battle mages (that don't specialise in fire) will handle them. Property damage will be taken into consideration and will be avoided unless necessary or unless it's known that the owner of the property is willingly harboring the Breakers. All damage will be reimbursed except in the case of the latter, where their property is instead confiscated.

Tick 20.5:

The various Underkings and Underqueens continue to resist the idea of digging much deeper for money, content with the income they already receive from delicious dwarven food and not-so-shiny trinkets.

Jeffrey has provided some advice for Yaos: "I think people think badly about your Inquisition because of some meddler god twisting them into carricatures."

Yaos has inspired some Slythan humans to attempt to grow independent of the Gem Council. It is difficult work, but they at least form a few guilds to protect their own interests and workers. Yaos has also found a few of the younger members of the Breaker Knights and a few cells, but it is widely suspected that the more important Breaker Knights have decent abjuration spells, thus explaining how they seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

The priests of Grauel have begun attempting to spread the principles of Hunger more earnestly. Although this attracts some new converts and strengthens the belief of many, it seems to drive a few away completely.

A Grue Dragon has declared itself to be the leader of an independent faction but offers pacts to Azem and Grauel. The Mountwyrms and Gruen around the hill seem to have merged into something probably known as the Gruewyrms. A Star Dragon has ingested many Grue Spores and become another Grue Dragon (but of rather different type). It now looks like a living shadow of some sort.

The Armu have attempted to made contact with the Ikan with little success. It seems that the Ikan think eldritch horrors live deep in the depths of the sea of air. Perhaps some divine assistance is in order.

The Star Squid take quickly to Underwater Polo and begin holding many competitions. The extra dimension makes it a lot more complicated than the surface games the other races can play.

The Barrier Knights have been labeled a terrorist group by Yaos and the leaders of the human empire. A detachment of Paladins and Homines Contralati have been sent to locations with disloyal, uncloaked humans. They find many, but these seem to be cannon fodder and lift a hand only to block attacks using the powerful Breaker shields, which nullify and destroy non-unique weapons. A dozen or so flamethrowers have been disintegrated over the course of the investigation.

The detachments report that they have taken many Breaker Knights, but a lot of them seem to be fresh recruits without the enchanted shield. They also report that many people have suddenly reported their property being used for illegal Breaker Knight meetings in the world's first case of widespread insurance fraud. It seems that many of them are mostly empty houses with kicked over furniture and spilled food.

The Inquisitors continue to re-educate the captured youths with moderate success. While a small fraction decide to continue terrorist acts but for the human cause, the majority of them return to their towns.

Yaos has also listened to some prayers.
Shifty human: "I wish for a mountain made of solid gold to appear next to a human town."
Hot human: "Maybe if the world were cooler, I'd be happier. If only Yaos could do something about that."
Wandering Gruen: "Could you not attack the Gruen? Only one in a few dozens of thousands of Gruen actually eat humans. It's really not fair."
Adventurous human: "Do you know if this brown starchy vegetable is edible?"
Curious human: "What's eldritch anyway?"
Breaker Knight in custody: "By Yaos, I want to become the god of humans!"
An alarming loophole in the prayer specification system has been discovered.

The angels seem not to be receiving prayers.

A human inventor has invented a device that will end all wars because war would seem like nothing compared to it. The human inventor has created

New players are still welcome. While the war stuff should be released by tick 23, there is still plenty of room for more creation still.

Yaos changes into her old, bearded man form.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 31, 2014, 07:10:44 am

Jeffrey has provided some advice for Yaos: "I think people think badly about your Inquisition because of some meddler god twisting them into carricatures."

"Thank you Jeffrey, now le- wait WHAT!? You did well bringing this up Jeffrey."
Yaos uses the power of the Keshan aurora to divine which of the gods is responsible. Yaos cannot unfortunately counter them because the kinds of caricatures they're made out to be aren't clear. Are they made to look Orwellian? Evil? Spanish? Or are they being semi-literally twisted into caricatures so it's not really people seeing them differently, but rather they're actually turning into caricatures? For someone so obsessed with detail it's surprising the God Master would forget to include so much important information.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 31, 2014, 07:10:44 am

Yaos has also found a few of the younger members of the Breaker Knights and a few cells, but it is widely suspected that the more important Breaker Knights have decent abjuration spells, thus explaining how they seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

Luckily, the Keshan Aurora has never been brighter which should help Yaos and Divination mages to help find them. In any case, the Paladins and Controlados receive orders to attempt to capture higher-ranking Breaker Knights.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 31, 2014, 07:10:44 am

They find many, but these seem to be cannon fodder and lift a hand only to block attacks using the powerful Breaker shields, which nullify and destroy non-unique weapons. A dozen or so flamethrowers have been disintegrated over the course of the investigation.

(I'm going to have to challenge this.)

Spoiler: Challenge (click to show/hide)

I've been told by either Fusil/Stirk or Cim/IcyTea31 (I forget which) that ranged weapons wouldn't be affected by the spells, unless the ammo hit the shield but then only the ammo would be stopped/broken (which would've happened even with an enchanted shield) without affecting the actual weapon. This is due to the shield breaking any weapon that comes into contact with it. Now, the thing about flamethrowers is that they don't fire conventional ammo but rather fire itself which would be unaffected by the enchanted shields. If the Paladins were to try to melee attack the Breaker Knights with the flamethrowers and hit the shields then the flamethrower would break.
Another way to look at it is this: the shield nullifies weapons on contact. Ammo is not a weapon. The enchantment only affects weapons. The flamethrower would be able damage the Knight or even the shield itself with no problem. This assumes Literal Genie is in effect.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 31, 2014, 07:10:44 am

They also report that many people have suddenly reported their property being used for illegal Breaker Knight meetings in the world's first case of widespread insurance fraud. It seems that many of them are mostly empty houses with kicked over furniture and spilled food.

(*sigh* This is Gem Dragon Mercenaries all over again. Compensation is only paid out in the event that property is damaged by Paladins, Controlados, or mages when attacking Breaker Knights - NOT for simply harboring them. Compensation is paid out ASAP AFTER the damage is done.)

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 31, 2014, 07:10:44 am

Shifty human: "I wish for a mountain made of solid gold to appear next to a human town."
Hot human: "Maybe if the world were cooler, I'd be happier. If only Yaos could do something about that."
Wandering Gruen: "Could you not attack the Gruen? Only one in a few dozens of thousands of Gruen actually eat humans. It's really not fair."
Adventurous human: "Do you know if this brown starchy vegetable is edible?"
Curious human: "What's eldritch anyway?"
Breaker Knight in custody: "By Yaos, I want to become the god of humans!"
An alarming loophole in the prayer specification system has been discovered.

IGNORED
Yaos inspires ambition. "Become an explorer. There are lands North that are quite colder than where you are. Discover them and you will become rich and famous among your peers and you will forever be remembered by history." Yaos then gives the human some images of the lands and also shows him places that he should avoid (deserts, overly-treacherous terrain, places with vicious animals, etc.)
"This is quite possibly the first time a non-human has prayed to me as the God of Humans, and it's a Gruen at that! I'm honestly quite surprised. I'm also rather surprised given the low amount of Gruen there are that commit such crimes against my people. I have to thank you for sharing this, it could possibly help with peace talks.
If the peace talks fail, however, I will still go to war because the Gruen government - as well as Grauel - are still protecting the rights of these Gruen to feast on my followers. If either one were to officially denounce the practice I will not go through with the war. If you want to help, you can perhaps try to gain support among other Gruen and petition the government or Grauel to denounce the practice of human-eating."
"Yes it is, but it requires cooking and you can't eat the little green bit. If I remember correctly, you can slice them up into thin pieces, fry them, and cover them in salt for a tasty treat. You may want to try it."
[Yaos checks the Lexicon] "Eldritch: weird, eerie, but with connotations of being unearthly and perhaps evil or mysteriously sinister. I got that from the Lexicon that [insert Human's name] made. You may want to look into it."
MIND CRUSH
Yaos wonders what loophole that might be, since all the wishes received were interesting and not filter-worthy.

Hm, sure, Yaos!

Yaos (with Joha's help) creates two archangels: Lette and Vaal. Lette is female, has purple eyes, is rather boisterous, and her main colour scheme for her clothing is white. Vaal is male, has orange eyes, is rather reserved (and at times, brooding), and his main colour scheme for his clothing is black. They are both combat-enhanced, fusion-capable, and ENHANCED. They are placed in Keshan.
The Emperor organises an annual festival dedicated to Joha and Life. Malik is a bit busy with Slythan economies and making sure they don't starve to handle organising festivals so a mayor who worships both Yaos and Joha is selected to organise it instead. ((You can detail what happens during the festival if you want.))

Give Yaos one essence for the jelly roll maker and have it wrapped as a gift and placed in the Devourer's fortress.

Give Grue-Hybrid Variants the ability to produce Gruen Spores just like regular Gruen as well as retaining their initial ability to mate which would produce more hybrids as opposed to just regular Gruen like the spores make or regular variants of the species (this is assuming they can't do these things already).

Have a Jelly Roll Festival held in the capital with all invited. Notes are sent out to those Gruen who broke away saying they are of course welcome to come enjoy the festival and possibly reunite with old friends.

Create four basic teleporting warrior angels if I still have a decent amount of essence left over and it won't bring me below 6-7 essence.

Edit: Changed number of angels I want.

"Actually, I didn't found them. A certain orphan did. Maybe it would indeed be a good idea to start the search from the roots."

Cim searches for the (unnamed) original founder of the Breaker Knights. (Shouldn't be hard, considering Cim knows him by face.) If he's dead already (whether by natural causes or something else), it follows the line of founders to find the current leader.

The people of this world seem to just see weapons as tool. Which, of course they are, but they should be seen as something...more. They should get closer to weapons, giving them some incentive to take good care of old ones rather than having them recycled, sold, or destroyed. I should make an incentive for keeping them, for loving them. The weapon should become a part of them. It should be their best friend, their life.

It should be...human, even as they are human, because it is their life.

Thinking this, I create Shinjo. Spirits that inhabit well-loved weapons, making them more powerful. As they grow more powerful, they grow more intelligent, slowly becoming humans themselves. Powerful enough ones will even be able to transform into the same species as the being who wields them, growing more powerful still the more they are used. It will take time, it will take care, and it will take love. But it can happen. These are released to the worlds.

Tick 21:

Grauel has decided to purchase an early model of the recently invented automated jelly roll maker from Yaos. It seems strange that Grauel did not just buy it directly from the inventor, but this will probably encourage Yaos to invest more in inspiring mortals. It seems that the reason for why Grauel bought the device is that the Devourer loves jelly rolls. Yaos has acquired the plans for the particular model invented and has given it to the Slythan humans in an attempt to provide them with some means of gaining economic control. Unfortunately for them, patents do not exist.

Jeffrey advises that Yaos be less protective of the humans for the cause of increasing their independence and decreasing the amount of petty prayers. The GodManager notes that he has complete but unexercised control over Jeffrey and may choose to end this useful little advice feature at any moment.

Yaos has attempted to divine the location of the Breaker Knights.

(Challenge successful. They broke at the very most a flamethrower or two. Again, the Literal Genie problem applies almost exclusively to regular things and not this.)

The many people who attempted insurance fraud are now mourning and praying that you restore their houses. Your wiser followers are extremely irritated by their insolence and some of them are praying for you to punish them by scattering the food and furniture even more.

A hot human explorer has gathered a party with Luminee, Dwarves, and Gruen to travel to the mythic Northern Lands. They begin their journey at the Tree.

The adventurous human has begun cultivating earth-apples. They are delicious and useful for many things.

The Dwarves have encountered gigantic vermicious creatures while digging in their mines. The creatures seem not to notice the Dwarves at all as they continue wandering and consuming tonnes of rock. Their tunnels seem to be relatively safe despite their size, and the highest-ranked miners suspect that the creatures somehow release compressed, reinforced rock back into the tunnel walls, thus stabilizing them despite the immense pressures at the depths at which they occur.

The human requesting the definition of "eldritch" seems somewhat satisfied but seems to want to see a demonstration of something that can be described as eldritch.

The brash, Apotheosozetic* Breaker Knight has been struck down!

(The constellations have (so far) been chosen at random because we don't actually know how long each tick lasts. Any requests for changes should be sent to Anath, Mage of Shadow.)

Yaos and Joha have created Lette and Vaal, two enhanced fusable angels on Keshan. The humans now have festivals to Varee and Joha, but the festival to Joha is currently undescribed while the festival to Varee is spreading everywhere and everywhen.

Serac has initiated an upgrade of Nuparhi, granting it the ability to sense concentrations of Void energy. The upgrade for granting it luck-based invulnerability is expensive, and confirmation and a more specific description of the degree of invulnerability will be required.

Grauel has allowed Grue-Hybrid variants to produce spores much like the Gruen and has started a Jelly Roll Festival in the Gruen capital and invited the dispersed Gruen to attend. Grauel has also created four jumper warrior angels of Hunger. Muses present at the Jelly Roll Festival have created exquisite-looking interpretations of the jelly rolls, and Azem has encouraged the Dwarves, Mountwyrms, and Gem Dragons to attend the Festival (which many do).

Cim has joined in the festivities and offered to work as minor security. It has also begun searching for the anonymous current leader of the Breaker Knights. The Cim-derived concealment spells easily dissolve before Cim's efforts, revealing that they currently live under a Luminee town.

Azem has given the Shifty Human wishing for a mountain made of gold a mountain of pyrite. The Shifty Human is not amused. Prayers from non-Mountwyrms addressed to Azem include the following:
Dwarf Underking: "Can you tell the meddling god to stop sending us inane dreams?"
Gruen Merchang: "I wish for you to tell me where I should give money for the greatest effect, positive or negative. Achieving wealth is boring."
Human Merchant: "Should I help fund the war effort when it will severely decrease trade?"
Hummingbird thinker: "What is greed exactly?"

Fusil has created the Shinjo, which are weapon spirits grown through use and care. They may eventually gain the ability to manifest as a member of the best wielder's race if cared for sufficiently.

(I'm inclined to think they will end up being considered mostly weapons, considering their creator.)

This update's dominant constellations are the Shield and Phoenix. The Keshan aurora have dimmed slightly.

(Grauel: -1E, Yaos: +1E, Yaos: -4E, Joha: -5E, Serac: -2E, Grauel: -5E, Azem: -2E, Fusil: -3E)

Jeffrey advises that Yaos be less protective of the humans for the cause of increasing their independence and decreasing the amount of petty prayers.

"You think that'll work? Alright then."

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 31, 2014, 07:48:32 pm

The many people who attempted insurance fraud are now mourning and praying that you restore their houses. Your wiser followers are extremely irritated by their insolence and some of them are praying for you to punish them by scattering the food and furniture even more.

Granted, for most. Those who have the highest combination of being evil, not worshipping Me, and being disliked by their local community will have their property confiscated instead. The exceptions are those who actually have a valid claim, of course. Just who do they think they're dealing with? I am a god after all.

The human requesting the definition of "eldritch" seems somewhat satisfied but seems to want to see a demonstration of something that can be described as eldritch.

(The constellations have (so far) been chosen at random because we don't actually know how long each tick lasts. Any requests for changes should be sent to Anath, Mage of Shadow.)

"Anath, could you do me the favour of changing the Keshan constellation to The Staff? It only needs to be active for about a Tick."

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 31, 2014, 07:48:32 pm

The humans now have festivals to Varee and Joha, but the festival to Joha is currently undescribed while the festival to Varee is spreading everywhere and everywhen.

"If I can provide a suggestion, Joha, perhaps you might do something similar to what Varee does with his Mystic Snow? Instead of snow though, you can make unique plants that give off similar but different effects. From what I can tell, Varee's Snow makes people happy; what if your plants made them more....mellow? Calm? Satisfied? Just a suggestion. Oh! Before I forget, if you ever need a favour from me, just ask."

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on October 31, 2014, 07:48:32 pm

The Cim-derived concealment spells easily dissolve before Cim's efforts, revealing that they currently live under a Luminee town.

"The Light, if you might instruct your followers to surrender the Breaker Knights, or at the least to evacuate the town, that would be great."

((So the proposal to make the world wilder passed. How has that affected the world?))

Yaos listens to some prayers. She filters out the requests to become a god and the unimportant 'by Yaos' exclamations (but not the important ones). The only exceptions to this filter are when they're said by Heretics or Void associates.

Yaos checks to see how the Duondio is doing.

He then tries to find another inventor. This time, he looks for ones that really do want to make war machines or better weapons/armour and does for them what he did for the jelly maker guy.

Varee: It is that good! People are going wild and having a massive ruckus and everything is random. Let's hope, for the sake of maintaining a no-riot record, that neither you nor Yaos halt the flow of Mystic Snow, addictive as it is.

Azem:
"Thank you."
"I shall donate my fortune to a single shipwright. This ought to make things interesting!"
"I should start buying them up. Thanks!"
"You define greed well. I wish my colleagues would think of it as more than being shiny-crazy."

Yaos: Your least favorite fraudsters end up having their property confiscated. It seems that only two households actually had a valid claim, and the damage was limited to a broken table and a mess of rotten food respectively.

The human is impressed by Grauel's true form and runs off into the wilderness muttering.

(I have no idea. Anyone want to try organizing the beasts proposal?)

Here are some prayers (they will slow down or get progressively worse if you keep requesting them because I only have so many ideas and so much time):
"I want to eat some Mystic Snow but my parents won't let me."
"I wish I could fly off a cliff!"
"Almost all of the humans in our town serve Kli. What happened?"
"I wish we didn't have to eat my leg, but there wasn't much else in the Northern Lands."

The Duondio has opened a fairly successful but little-known bakery known for its delicious [sweet rolls]. This is certain to impact future magic skill positively for culinary purposes.

(Re Underkings: While you have not consumed additional Essence, you did seem very insistent on including this part:

Basically, what happened was that they continued to receive the lasting dreams you paid so much for (since much of the cost was either opposing their individual preference or the aforementioned lasting influence part). I guess you could artificially remove them (for free) if you wanted.)

(Huh. I thought I'd been spacing out the prayer request more than I have. Looking back I see that I was wrong. Oh well.)

(I just remembered that the whole dream stuff wasn't actually supposed to connect me directly and that it would've seemed (from the dwarves' perspectives) that they'd just been having weird dreams. Bah, too much canon is entrenched already. Guess I'll have to be more careful next time.)

(By 'the idea will not naturally go away on its own', I didn't mean that I continue to give them dreams, it means that the IDEA I implanted in the dream will take root and not go away naturally (i.e. it would take deliberate, focused attempts (magical or non-magical) to remove the idea or to make it so they'd be capable of not following through with the idea). Dreams were merely supposed to be the vehicle for implanting the idea - just like the film Inception. I'm in too deep though so I guess my less than subtle attempts at INCEPTION is canon. In any case, I'd like to cancel the dreams. If retconning the continuous dreams can be done for free that would be preferable, but whatever.)

Three: Slythan humans kind of need the jelly roll maker patent so they can reasonably compete with Gem Dragon economies while not starving. Without patents it will just get stolen by other races and they won't profit as well as they deserve."

The present human soul of the Duondio will go to the Human Plane when it dies. When the Duondio reincarnates next time, a replacement soul will be made that'll be roughly the same, but it'll also have an instinctual desire to help people with its powers. And by 'help people with its powers' I mean the whole fighting off monsters and saving villages and stuff - NOT just warming up fires for other people. The Duondio will from thereon reincarnate as normal.

((Just in case you missed them, there are some price checks and info requests that need to be done on the OOC thread. My bad if you just didn't have the time.))

Tick 21.5: Fêtes, Wurst, and Death

The mortal world is abuzz with the news of the increasingly long Festival of Mystic Snow and the new Festival of the Jelly Roll. The fact that the gods themselves have decided to attend has only increased the excitement, it seems.

A recent massive donation to a shipwright has allowed for the design of two more advanced ships. They have the interesting properties of being both faster and larger in capacity than the old models.

The prices of weapons and medicines have increased sharply as a small number of buyers buy up as much of both as possible, probably to profit from the looming war.

A bunch of insurance fraudsters have been dealt with by Yaos recently. Loss of house or loss of much furniture are both frequently reported crimes now.

Artisanii's blessed painter seems to be painting a detailed self-portrait. It is almost photographic in quality.

The presence in the Divine Library seems to have disappeared, and the main room seems to be a lot less crowded with mortals than before.

Yaos has canceled the dreams of the deep earth sent to the Underkings and Underqueen(s). They seem to become a lot less irritable. The Underqueen has given birth to twins.

Yaos has also attempted to cause the invention of patents for the purpose of protecting the Slythan humans from economic domination. This has not been successful so far.

Anath has proposed the creation of a gas giant in each system, which may be more worthwhile than a first glance would show...

(Also, the Gem Dragons don't really control the economy. The Gem Council does.)

This update's dominant constellations are the Shield and Ship. The Keshan aurora are brightening again. The ice ring around Slytha has become more visible.

You yourself are the god of order yet you allow unorderly activity to exist simply for the fear that there might be further disorder later along the line? As the god of ambition I find that quite lacking, really! You ought to strive to bring as much law and order as possible! Instead you simply settle for second best because it's a little less risky.

(Aren't price checks supposed to go in the OOC? Don't worry about Lyle - he'll have so many buffs and blessings and whatnot that I'd say he has a pretty decent chance of winning the case. Besides, he has a flying angel to carry him around everywhere as he needs it.)

(Ninja'd twice there. Also, bed time.)

The Light takes time and produces itself in front of his Generic Angel 1.
"Oh mighty Generic Angel I shall give you form."
The light gives the angel the ability to enter dreams where it will reveal secrets of the glowing heart to the young followers.
It shall look like an orb of light in this world, able to communicate through telepathy.
In the dreams, it shall create mythological dramas to advance the inner personal quest, or secrets of their personality. The Angel may choose himself what kind of settings he choses, and may raise small dream spirits of different spheres to aid him.

After regaining from his burst of essence in his early "life", he has another burst of inspiration, as if it was a strike from Fusil himself. He goes to the Festivals, disquised as a non-descript Muse. He talks to the people there, and ask them what they want.

(Eh, maybe but I was answering you at the same time so I didn't bother. And I doubt Lyle will win because there is no one source to lay a lawsuit on, all the gem dragons are likely to deny they owe anything anyway, he doesn't actually have a court to take the matter to, and so on. If he actually separated out all the ones that took money, got them to admit taking the money, got them to admit that they should show up at court over it, got them to actually show up at court about it, and had a court for them to show up at, maybe, but as is I doubt he'll get anything from even one dragon. No group suits for the dragons when they're all independent and you'll have to go after each of them individually.)

(And of course, his first issue will be proving that they are actually one of the dragons that took money, instead of one of the ones that didn't hear about it in time/was busy with something else/was too far away at the time/was otherwise distracted. And you know none of them are going to admit anything to someone who wants to take away their shinies.)

(Also, beyond that remember that each constellation only effects the word they are actually on, not both worlds. Which was it that had the war going on again? Because the Staff is only on World A.)

Have I greeted the new gods yet? I may be growing forgetful as of late. Welcome. If you need any help early on, feel free to ask. I may be a horrifying monster that devours things but that doesn't mean I can't be polite, eh?

Also, I have neglected to mention this before but all gods are free to try and gain Gruen followers if they so desire. I will in no way hold it against anyone. Do so as you wish with them, but I do request... quite vehemently... that no one removes their hunger completely. I will have issue with that. Otherwise, I quite enjoy the idea of them branching out and becoming more diversified.

Check on the hunger mask wearers. If any are loyal to me yet, have them go to Gruen communities to unify them more. They are to teach that all disciples of the Hunger God are equal in his eyes and they should not let themselves be divided by their eating habits. All serve to make the Gruen more progressive, adaptable and influential in the mortal worlds. Any who get too uppity and defiant are free to be devoured by the Mask Wearers as an example that no one knows the ways of hunger better than the Hunger God. Proclaim the mask wearers the *Lords of Hunger* because it sounds a little more official than mask wearers.

Have the Gruen offer any people (the broad definition of people including all races not just humans) who frequently visit or stay in Gruen Communities and have gained the Gruen's trust, Gruen Spores. They are told the effects and let known that they are a useful tool that comes at a price. It is in no way to be forced on anyone.

(I'll answer the easy one first. The war is on Keshan, where the Staff is. It is also where Lyle is.

Spoiler: The Rest (click to show/hide)

(As for the rest of the stuff, he doesn't need to take any dragons to court. You're thinking too modern. This is a land where gods, dragons, monsters, and magic all live under the same metaphorical roof so it would be unwise to think that the world functions exactly the same as our own - in this case in regards to law.
Here's one way I think could happen: Lyle goes to the High Temple. He tells them they have to pay back the Empire for the money the Gem Dragons stole as the highest representatives of the race. When they inevitably decline, he mentions that they're the High Temple of Greed not the High Temple of Gem Dragons and goes on to say that if they would be going against the will of Azem by actively attempting to stop the pursuit of the greed of other races. If - as is most likely - the High Temple says that if they do pay they'll be stopping the pursuit of greed of Gem Dragons at which point Lyle will cut them off and sue them for being racist by accusing them of disregarding all other races to put their own at an advantage. From there they have to either pay a large sum of money, or pay a large sum of money AND be seen by everyone as a bunch of racist gits.
I'm just going to say now that the arguments in that example aren't all that great and they aren't airtight but IRL I'm just a mere human - I am physically incapable of coming up with the arguments capable of the First Lawyer that has blessings from both the god of humans/ambition and the god of LAW, as well as being under a powered constellation that gives a bonus to law. Besides that, international/Gem Dragon law hasn't really been touched on so Lyle can make shit up as he goes and it'll all be canonised.)

Ugh, yeah I keep getting preoccupied with my private affairs and forgetting to vote. Here goes it.

Oppose 19.00 -
Too specific and too vague simultaneously. There are plenty of ways to kill gods besides weapons even if you loosely consider weapons anything that causes harm and not just physical tools. If there are gods going around trying to actively kill other gods, this won't stop them but having potential primordial killing weapons that can be used defensively against them in retaliation might at least give them incentive to do something like that only if they are willing to risk their own existence. Also such tools have other uses as was pointed out.

Support 21.00 -
Truthfully I don't care and fail to see how this benefits me or other gods. I'd normally say use your own essence but I guess it could make things more interesting. If it passes with my support, I do intend to find ways of using said gas giants for my own devices though.

Tick 22: Age of Births

(Anath: $$$Response: 0E)

(I'm looking at the part about losing houses now and it sounds like something only half-asleep KJP would say. Speaking of which, Half-Asleep Adventures has been added to the ideas file. Cancel that, I guess.)

Vaal and the Ikan have begun to make some slow progress. It appears that the Ikan simply cannot believe that life can survive at such high pressures without assistance from the Void. Vaal points out that non-Void gods exist with the power to grant mortals the ability to survive in those conditions. The Ikan hesitantly agree with this. They construct a small, airtight capsule in which to descend to the deep atmosphere. The priests take a few hours to bless and try to protect it from the influence of the Void. A powerful telepath establishes a strong link with the explorers and the Ikan begin lowering the capsule.

Some bandits have been making small clearings in the vicinity of the Trees. The Hummingbirds wonder if Kli has advice on dealing with them.

Generic Angel 1 (unnamed?) of the Light has been granted access to dreams and been given telepathy privileges. Its mission is to send dreams to mortals to inspire and empower them to achieve great things. Its physical form has been specified as an orb of light.

Artisanii has attended several festivals disguised as a Muse and sought out what the attendees want. Here are a few selected responses:
Failed Sculptor: "I want to be able to create sculptures for royalty everywhere! But I have no idea how to start."
Epic Poet: "O Muse, the causes tell! What sacrilege, or vengeful sorrow, moved the heavenly..."
Distressed Painter: "I wish to know what heavenly colors there are that we lack! Alas, I am not a Luminee, seeing many colors where I see one."

The Lords of Hunger have begun traveling to Gruen communities to assist in the development of the Gruen such that they may be more adaptable. The net effect seems to be toward greater differentiation and increased specialization, and those who get too excessive are promptly consumed. The Gruen have begun offering friendly outsiders the chance to eat Gruen spores. A traveling merchant begins selling them at a high price, creating a large demand for the spores.

The Northern Lands are minimally populated with the occasional cold-adapted Gruen village and dragon lair and Dwarf or Night Elven access cave. Overall, not much appears to be happening. A human-led expedition has begun turning back after traveling far into the North.

The humans judge that Mystic Snow is supposed to happen all year, but this does not actually end up being the case. The Festival remains confined to a few weeks. Regrettably, all but a few of the addicted humans reject your assistance in helping them out of their situation.

Taol has granted conditional free will and conditional full sapience to the Minio-ons. Varee's stance on this is unknown, but this will increase their Worship ability.

(The Light: -1E, Taol -2E)

This update's dominant constellations are the Dragon and Lady. The Keshan aurora are very bright and contain all of the standard aurora colors. The ice ring around Slytha has become less visible.

"So I've been thinking about the mystic stuff we're going to put in the word when it came to me - we should make it a game!" :D "Instead of making a bunch of fantastic races, we just make 7 really big creatures. Let's call them Titans...... Actually, that's all I've come up with. Heh heh." :-\ "Still, it's a good start of an idea, isn't it?" :)

Speaking in a divine way to the artists, as a hint to my true personality, I respond.

Quote

Failed Sculptor: "I want to be able to create sculptures for royalty everywhere! But I have no idea how to start."

"You have no inspiration to continue. You must find the Inspheration, and you will create."

Quote

Epic Poet: "O Muse, the causes tell! What sacrilege, or vengeful sorrow, moved the heavenly..."

"You, continue art! Who knows what epic poetry advance the arts as magic?" I bless him so that his words have an affect on the world in subtle ways.

Distressed Painter:

Quote

"I wish to know what heavenly colors there are that we lack! Alas, I am not a Luminee, seeing many colors where I see one."

"Indeed, I regret this too. There are too options, poor painter. One, travel to the inspheration to create your own colors. Or, ask the Light to give you the colors of the Luminee."

Tick 22.5:

The trees in the forest around the Hummingbirds have been blessed with the ability to glow with Kli's symbol when approached by those with malicious intentions. The Hummingbirds are grateful for this gift.

Azem introduces currency to the remaining humans who still do not use currency. Most take it up quickly, finding that using a medium for exchange is far more practical for price comparisons than pure barter. He has also started the Food Festival*, a festival dedicated to himself and Grauel, making sure to maintain a large supply of exotic foods of various kinds from various races.

A Failed Sculptor has embarked on a journey to the Inspheration, hoping to be granted the skill to create sculptures the royalty would want. The Epic Poet has been blessed with minor influence over events through poetry. The effects of this are currently unknown. The Distressed Painter prays that The Light may grant it vision of the colors the Luminee can see which the Painter cannot.

Along the Failed Sculptor's journey, I give him some challenges. The first one, he has to critique another's sculptor's statue. The second challenge is a commission for him to sculpt a statue of many Gods. The last one is a commission for him to sculpt the Inspheration.

This is to give him some conflict, some skill, and teach him that he does not needs a God's help to do better. Once he reaches the Inspheration, it does not give him skill. Only inspiration.

Also, on the Spirit Dimension, Artisanii creates a dimension of Art and Critique.

Yaos changes into her male form and asks Jeffrey for advice relating to getting more Essence from worshippers.

(Normally I don't mention it any more but the current subtitle is woefully inaccurate. It is 22.5 - not 21.5. Age of Births related to T22 and neither 21.5 nor 22.5, and there is a subtitle at all while 22.5 doesn't have one. It's understandable why there isn't one this turn because practically nothing has happened.)

Yaos makes it so that the following geniuses are born: a mechanic, a metallurgist, an alchemist, an engineer, and a mathematician. They'll all meet at a pub one day to quickly become friends and join forces to make the Empire super-advanced in the scientific world, when compared to its neighbours.
As they work, Yaos inspires a mage to enchant their works so that if it gets stolen a spell would fire that would reveal who stole the works and where they are (think of it as magical perma-dye/tracking device). It only fires once it's recognised that it's been stolen.
In the case where some of the geniuses start to anger each other, Yaos uses his Human powers to calm them down.

Taol: Some Minio-ons have had their limited sapience and independence triggered after a tunnel collapse. They are mostly wondering how they arrived there and how to get back to the rest of the colony.

Artisanii: The Failed Sculptor has examined a statue of a great king closely and complimented the detail of the carvings but criticized the overall shape for being very much anatomically incorrect. While at a town along the way, he has constructed statues of all of the gods in their primary forms which receive some criticism for containing various small errors but is praised for their arrangement and overall shapes. Upon arriving at the Inspheration, he is inspired to construct a great stone orb with intricate patterns.

(Artisanii: -1E)
Finally, you create a Plane of Art and Critique.

Neron: You appear before a Northern village of Gruen and ask if they need any help. They seem not to need any specific help but would not mind living in a warmer area. They understand that you will likely not grant this, but they are well-adapted to the cold.

Yaos: Jeffrey advises that you temper your message slightly. Many seem to feel they are not and can never be ambitious enough and think they may end up being flagged as heretics if they don't improve and cast out of their communities if they do.

(I'll change the subtitles later once I figure out something. This was fairly uneventful.)

A skilled mechanic, a competent metallurgist, a talented alchemist, a talented engineer, and a competent mathematician walk into a bar. The bartender asks "What is this, some kind of joke?" They work together and hire a mage to protect their works. You end up having to calm them down a lot because the mathematician and the alchemist develop a fierce rivalry.

To the Lords of Hunger:
I should clarify, by uppity and defiant, I meant anyone who thinks they're so much better than the other Gruen, due to their eating habits, that they aren't willing to respect and work with the other Gruen. I don't just mean anyone who is excessive with eating something. Clarification probably doesn't hurt. I can be a bit vague at times.

Send one angel to help each Lord of Hunger continue with the Gruen Diversity Acceptance Campaign.

Yaos clarifies that lack of ambition does not bring about the wrath of Yaos and that you don't need be at a specific level of ambition before you receive blessings from Yaos. Rather, the more ambitious you are, the more blessed you are, and the less ambitious, the less you are blessed. Having no ambition does not incur any penalty but it incurs no bonuses either. If you want to be really ambitious, do so and receive a large blessing. If you want to be only a little ambitious, do so and receive a small blessing. This applies to all facets of Yaosian worship (save for when true Heresy is involved, which is covered in the Book of Humans.)

Post by: Kilojoule Proton on November 02, 2014, 08:29:16 pm

Tick 23: War's morning

Taol's uplifting efforts on the main body of Minio-on society have begun to produce results. A group of Minio-ons stuck in a tunnel following a collapse have awakened and made successful rational attempts to escape. This is expected to increase the presence and influence of the Minio-ons on global issues and will likely increase their capacity for worship. Taol has also clarified that they receive full sapience and can recall important memories from before awakening.

A Failed Sculptor has become a Fledgling Sculptor following a journey and quest by Artisanii to reach the Inspheration. He has come to realize that skill in sculpting is available to any who are sufficiently motivated and has begun what will likely be a lifelong career in sculpting. The first product of his inspiration is a great stone orb and possible representation of the sky with many finely deatiled patterns probably representing the constellations and other astronomical bodies.

Neron has inspected a village in the Northern Lands and found that they need little help in surviving the cold. Noting the boringness of this, Neron creates a massive temple and statue on Keshan.

Yaos has clarified an important point of doctrine for the less literate followers. Simply not being ambitious enough is not even close to being heresy. This calms many of them and they continue their worship more earnestly.

Yaos has also inspired a group of fairly skilled luminaries to meet to begin the creation of various great works. Their relationship is complicated by a fierce rivalry, but Yaos is successful in calming them. The group consists of a proficient mechanic, a skilled metallurgist, an adept alchemist, an adept engineer, and a skilled mathematician. As they continue their collaboration, the alchemist and the mathematician's rivalry becomes more friendly in nature.

Spoiler: Butterfly method and sapients (click to show/hide)

You could make them uniformly skilled, but that would cost more since doing that would be bending free will to some extent. While you may be able to predict everything involving your own actions, you will not be able to predict the exact perturbations of other gods' actions. This limits the butterfly method's scope to small, isolated systems. As usual, I'm open to further petition.

Finally, Yaos has sent another peace envoy to the largest Gruen government. The requests are, again, that Grauel or the Gruen government must denounce eating humans. Noticeably absent is a demand for reduced killing in general, which takes the lives of more innocents on both sides.

The Lords of Hunger have been mildly rebuked for their overly broad definition of "uppity" resulting in them consuming those who consume much. A better definition is to consume those who are unwilling to work with other Gruen for the greater good. Grauel has sent an angel to each Lord of Hunger to assist with their Gruen Diversity Acceptance Campaign.

Most of the golems and gremlins look forward to increased work during the war but worry that the combatants will pass through their territory. They seem to really dislike the idea of any foreign army going through.

The Light has granted the Distressed Painter greater color vision and linked emotions to colors. The Distressed Painter has become the Delighted Painter and has begun a prolific career of producing wonderfully colored paintings.

The Light has also begun wandering a golem capital as a steel golem. The golems seem to be troubled by the following things:
"I Hope We Can Stay Neutral. Business Is Good Already, But Think Of When The War Starts."
"There Better Be No Armies Marching Through Our Lands. I And My Friends Will Surely Slaughter Them, Neutrality Be Sewn."
"Your Body Seems Not To Fit Very Well. I Can Fix It For A Low Price."

The Mountwyrms have the following thoughts about the Gruen:
"The Gruen made such excellent trading partners and so did the humans. I hope the war won't stop trade. I love their smoked red moss and crushed bark bread. Even the slime mold juice was delicious!"
"The Gruen can go away for all I care. The humans are where the money is. What have the Gruen done but eat our goods anyway?"
"The humans are pathetic. They say so much about ambition but the smallest Gruen child is more ambitious than their lot."
"They'll both be buying weapons and dubious medicines. By Azem, I hope they go fight as long as they stay out of our lands."

This update's dominant constellations are the Dagger and Ship. The Keshan aurora are anomalously active.

Call Generic Angel 1 Matharis. Visit the Academy of Light and listen to the current debates, disguised as a cool looking youngster luminee with rebellious hair.

Mold the second angel. His name shall be Dackstur, and his physical form shall be that of a lion with a golden mane. He shall be able to teleport at will, and acts as a defender for Lightfollowers in dire need, who fight against divine forces, as well as teaching mortals the abilities to fight.

The third angel shall be called Rufus, and his physical form shall be that of a Male Luminee with long fingers and thirteen eyes. He sneaks the plains of all planets, and informs the Light on the Happenings in the Luminee and other Light followers. He emits a red halo.

Golems can be created from any stone or metal. That includes pitchenlade and uranium. They have access to an entire moon of heavy metals. I recommend not guiding armies through golem lands, lest it rot away from one golem walking by. I'd also recomend leaving gremlin lands in peace too, as they have best siege equipment, something both sides are likely to need and wouldn't want to go against.

"You will gain nothing with demands like this. Stop acting like a child unless you want to invoke the wrath of ALL the gods. I have been on your friendly side, please do not test my patience. "


On a different note, create 69 tentacled monsters of big size (7meter tall, 4 meter wide, that emit burning light from their eyes. Their bodies are covered in golden scales. Send these "Tentaculos" to defend Lightfollowers in need. Their teeth are sharp like razorblades and in three rows.

Post by: Kilojoule Proton on November 03, 2014, 10:45:20 pm

Tick 24: Mobilization

Fusil surveys the world for evidence of the influence of his sphere. It appears that they have become particularly concentrated in human, Gruen, Mountwyrm, and Star Elf towns. This has also had the effect of concentrating the higher-quality weapons in those towns in which weapons in general are present in higher amounts. The general hysteria leads many citizens to keep makeshift weapons around.

Yaos has created a Bestiary of the various creations produced so far by the gods and placed it in the Divine Library.

Azem has inspired the Mountwyrms to attempt to invent better ships using the power of the sign of the Ship. They have begun moving beyond galleys and toward cogs. Some have begun experimenting with exploiting explosive varieties of Gruen spittle for sending items across long distances, but the items are currently incapable of making the transit without destruction.

Generic Angel 1, Angel of Dreamlight*  has been named Matharis and has attended a few debates at the Academy of Light in the form of a young Luminee with rebellious hair. It seems that many of them focus on the potential effects of war especially because the gods themselves intend to participate in this one. Few of them can provide concrete, justified predictions on the consequences of the war from past experience.

The second Angel of the Light has been named Dackstur, who has been given the form of a lion with a golden mane, has been given directed teleportation skill. He has been tasked with defending threatened Lightfollowers fighting against the forces of other gods and teaching them how to fight.

The third Angel of the Light has been named Rufus and given the form of a male Luminee with long fingers, thirteen eyes, and a red halo. He has been sent to scout the plains of all planets and to inform the Light of significant events relating to the Luminee and other Light followers.

(Neron: Fixed, I think.)
Neron listens and hears the following prayer:
Human mystic: "How may I spread your will? I alone know your teachings in this area."

Anath listens and hears the following prayers:
Star Dragon: "I wish it could always be night. Then I wouldn't have to stay asleep all the time."
Star Elf: "Will my model for an elementally-based trap work for the land above our lands?"

Artisanii has blessed the Sculptor and commissioned many stories of his exploits. It seems that the orb has become slightly magical from all the interest.

Khaziraad has issued a warning that Golem settlements have high risks of causing radiation exposure to passing non-Golems. This is in addition to the danger from molten metal and hot fluids in general.

The Light has queued the creation of 69 Tentaculos, tentacled monstrosities with golden scales, rows of sharp teeth, and a burning gaze. They are to defend Lightfollowers in need, which may be controversial among the other supporters. (will cost High 3-4)

Varee has attempted to visit the giant monsters and fauna. Unfortunately, they have yet to be created.

(Varee: The total cost is based on just what the supporters decide to create)

A group of Paladins, Controlados, and battle mages sent by Yaos go to the Luminee village housing the Breaker Knight leaders. There is only one fatality, and the rest are all arrested and sent to a human dungeon.

This update's dominant constellations are the Crown and Gravestone. The Keshan aurora have waned.

The Inquisition extracts the knowledge to create Breaker Shields from the Breaker Knights via simple interrogation. If that doesn't work, they move up to non-painful Psymental extraction. If that doesn't work, they move up to heavy-duty Psymental extraction. Once done, they are executed discreetly.

Yaos asks Jeffrey for advice.

"Ok so I have three proposals that I think we should vote on. Tell me what you guys think, k?" ;)

So the first is to make a plane of existence where we can send people to fight to the death, except when they die they go back to doing what they were doing and they're never permanently hurt!" ^_^ "I'd make it myself but I'm saving up my E for some projects so I was hoping other gods could chip in and make it free!" :D "It would be nice to prove once and for all that the Angel-Emperor of Mankind could beat Tykki in a fight." ;P "Oh, and the plane should be made so that we can't interfere with the fights because we wouldn't want anyone to cheat now would we?" ;)

"My second proposal is to use Proposal 18.01 to make 7 COLOSSAL Titans. We can figure out what to do with them later, but it would be so COOL having them around! We should make them so they just wander around and don't bother anyone until we figure out what we want to do with them."

Yaos feels that she hasn't listened to prayers in a while and does so.

She checks on the scientists and sees if her plans to make the rivalry between Matho and Alcho is more of a friendly rivalry now. She also checks to see if they made anything valuable.

EDIT: (The Titans aren't supposed to be exceptionally large humans. They're supposed to be unique monsters. Think Shadow of the Colossus or Naruto or any giant monster movie ever. Yeah.)

The Armu are perfect vessels for weapons, yet I have neglected to give them any means of creation of my sphere far above that of their peers. Even with their affinity to Cosmic magic, they can only do so much better than the other races. Weapons must be created, and it takes a master weapon maker to make master weapons.

As such, I will make the Seppo. A race that lives alongside the Armu, in their towns and cities as brothers under me, their father. Each will have incredible skill at the creation of arms, unsurpassed by the mortal races. Not only that, but each will be able to enchant their creations with extra effects, with their affinity for enchanting magics. The Armu will sell these weapons to the other races, spreading my sphere far and wide, reserving the best for their own use.

But what will be the best form for them? They need not the masses of tentacles to wield multiple weapons-perhaps just two hands fit for their work? No-they should have an affinity for what they are working with. They shal be blobs of a special metal, no different than flesh. Simple round blobs capable of jutting out pseudopod to do the work other races use limbs for. The forms are not fit for combat, not even against the other mortal races. But they will be perfect for smithing, with their false limbs designed specifically for the weapon. They will not even need tools to work- their own body will be capable of becoming any tool they may need. The metal will be silvery in color, to better reflect the heat of the forge they build inside of themselves. Yes, I will make 3 million of these, the addition to the Fusil Family.

(I hope that doesn't cost extra, it is already leaving me at one point....)

Artisanii takes a closer look at the blessed sculptor and his apparently magical ball. This is the first he have seen an item become magical with little godly intervention, so he wants to look at it.

*sigh* "No, Artisanii. The DEATH BATTLE Plane proposal costs very little Essence for one god. I only made the proposal because if all gods chipped in then it would be free. The other proposals have already passed and we all already paid the Essence to pass them - we're just discussing on how to go about enacting them.

"That does not mean the proposal can't be made useful.

Tick 24.5: Preparation

The Academy of Light's thinkers have proposed to petition the gods for the creation of the Peacekeeper, a device of incomprehensible power designed to exterminate all life on the surface should war break out. It seems that they think they are not included in "all life on the surface."

Over the course of the investigation of the Breaker Knights, it quickly becomes apparent that firm, almost exclusive belief in Cim is responsible for maintaining the Breaker enchantment.

Jeffrey advises that Yaos maintain strong trade throughout the war. This should increase favor with Azem and his creations and better the economy.

These are some prayers to Yaos:
"I wish the war would start already so that I can sell these rare medicines of dubious effectiveness."
"I wish we could just befriend the Gruen and stop the war from happening."
"I want to die in a volcano. That would be the best death ever!"
"By Yaos, I want to be the god of Escaping From InHumane Dungeons!"

The Mathematician and the Alchemist seem to be friendlier now, but the group as a whole seems rather opposed to war and the most valuable product of their collaboration is a comprehensive book on Euclidean geometry and an assortment of impractical and expensive but interesting materials.

The Star Elf's traps would probably work quite well and are relatively easily produced. Fortunately or unfortunately, they will persist and probably wound the occasional passing surface-walker for years to come unless swept.

Fusil: Warning: This creation will take you to 1E if not 0E and render you at least dormant and vulnerable if it doesn't kill you outright. Are you sure you wish to continue?

Tick 25: Stall

Matharis has begun searching for a team of advanced architects looking for work. It appears that now is not a very good time for architects in general, and there are many looking for streets, which slightly confounds the goal of finding advanced architects as opposed to random architects.

The new Prophet of Ice has been given access to Neron's sphere for ice and snow and white robes. The Prophet has demonstrated miracles in a human village and has converted a few dozen and invited them to the great (unnamed) temple in the Northern Lands.

The war has been delayed on account of a planned absence on the part of one of the combatants. This may prove to be beneficial in improving the quality of the content.

This update's dominant constellations are the Lance and Eye. The Keshan sun appears to have flared recently.

Grauel: The Grue dragons appear to be thriving. Though they consume much rock and vegetation, they do not seem to bother the rest of the races much. Some of the more interesting Grue hybrids are the Gruminee, Grumans, and Grulems. The Gruminee seem to be in high demand for their ability to adapt to whatever roles their many plays require. The Grumans are well known for being selected from the best of the human cultists and tend toward serving you. There are only a few Grulems, but the few that exist seem to be exploiting Gruen adaptability for the purpose of turning into large temples.

(Joha: Vote counted)
Joha: The brave Ikan explorers drift down next to a wood elf house and begin telepathic announcements of peacefulness and serving you and rejecting the Void. It seems their broadcast is too soft for the naturally less sensitive elves, who remain asleep.

You commission the creation of a grand shrine on Keshan, and a group of sculptors and architects gladly plan and construct it. Upon completion, you transport several Muses and Mantras to it.

Jeffrey advises that Yaos maintain strong trade throughout the war. This should increase favor with Azem and his creations and better the economy.

"This'll be a pain. No extra soldiers to guard trade routes and no inventions because Cim in his infinite wisdom has decided to ban patents becau- wait. He never actually banned them! He just didn't invent them! You're a genius Jeffrey! You are now Chief Executive Advisor to Yaos! Congratulations on your promotion, Jeffrey!"
Yaos finds an inventor who's kinda pissed at other races for stealing his ideas and inspires him to create a system by which people can take property of ideas so they can take legal or even extra-legal actions against any who steals them. Magic is used to tell when a patent is breached and by whom.
Yaos also gets some prospectors and explorers (via Emperor and Malik, to avoid Essence cost) to explore and find rich places to colonise or at least exploit.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 04, 2014, 06:55:25 am

"I wish the war would start already so that I can sell these rare medicines of dubious effectiveness."
"I wish we could just befriend the Gruen and stop the war from happening."
"I want to die in a volcano. That would be the best death ever!"
"By Yaos, I want to be the god of Escaping From InHumane Dungeons!"

Granted.
Ignore.
Inspire to become a super villain. His evil lair will be in a volcano, of course.
MIND CRUSH. But check on his prison conditions as well.

Yaos uses the power of the Lance to create cavalry on Slytha. The cavalry will be Wargs of course, since horses haven't been created. Aside from military purposes, they'll be used to race as well. The athlete prayer bonus applies to jockeys, of course, but Yaos also makes sure to grant a bigger bonus (without removing profit) to those who dedicate their success to Yaos more than themselves. Wouldn't want a repeat of last time. The military aspect of this scheme only applies to Slytha, because they'll be a detriment in the war against the Gruen ((I've been leaving Slytha alone for the most part, including all the anti-Gruen stuff)) but the sport aspect will still go into effect on Keshan.

Well, it was somewhat alluded to it having been done by the golems on purpose for use in exploiting the Gruen's adaptability. I don't think the spores just happened to worm their way inside anything accidentally. They probably found some way of directly implanting the spores.

Also that's not entirely an accurate way of looking at it. It's a symbiotic relationship, not direct interspecies reproduction. That's like getting grossed out by all the different types of bacteria that live within human digestive systems and help with processing food while technically using humans for reproductive purposes or more accurately just as the environment they reproduce within.

Tick 26: Onset

Unfortunately for the attempt to invent patents, inventors are already rare enough. Inventors not willing to work with other races to distribute their products are, as a subset of the former, even more rare. (It was a hard roll)

The Emperor and Malik have sent out exploration parties. Although it is difficult to find rich places, they manage to find a few far in the frontier. It is unlikely that any settlements built there will be sufficiently close to the site of the war.

"Hehehehehehe..."
"A super farmhand!? What a lame dream! No way!"
Another apotheosozetic Breaker Knight has been struck down!

Humans have been reintroduced to the concept of riding animals. They greatly appreciate the official support for their sport on both worlds, and this new generation of blessed athletes seems more respectful than the previous generation.

A human gambling house has become wildly successful and popular, and the proprietors are planning to expand their business to other towns. Although the house brings much crime to the town, the additional bonus to income from wanderers makes up for it quite nicely.

Neron listens to for prayers and hears a few from the still-small following of Ice:
"Send a sign that the world may know of your awakening!"
"Could you freeze this cream?"
"Send a sign that the world may know of your awakening!"
"Send a sign that the world may know of your awakening!"

No queens have recently died, thus making the search for more awakened Minio-ons more difficult. They live fairly long lives and have some redundancy, unlike bees.

The latest flare and recent pattern of  strong solar activity appear to be linked to the strong aurora. There does not appear to be any specific reason or cause for the recent flare.

Many of the Star Squid are playing variations on the sport Anath taught them. They exhibit no sign of Void influence themselves, but a few have taken to living around what appears to be a charred Void temple deep in a trench on Slytha.

(Khaziraad: I would guess that they incorporate Gruen spores into their bodies and allow the spores to absorb material very slowly onto their bodies. This probably only really works for the stone and maybe the clay golems.)

This update's dominant constellations are the Dragon and Claw. There is an intense aurora over Keshan. The ice ring above Slytha has become more visible.

The afterlife for Grauel's Followers. It's a massive, beautiful garden filled with endless varieties of delicious fruits, vegetables and even meats that grow on plants. Within the Garden are large sprawling mansions in which endless feasts are held for the followers of Grauel. All the food is exquisitely prepared and delicious beyond comprehension. Regardless of how much someone eats in the Garden of Hunger, they will never be full and can endlessly consume more food for as long as they decide to reside within the Garden before going back to the Mortal Realms.

The Armu are perfect vessels for weapons, yet I have neglected to give them any means of creation of my sphere far above that of their peers. Even with their affinity to Cosmic magic, they can only do so much better than the other races. Weapons must be created, and it takes a master weapon maker to make master weapons.

As such, I will make the Seppo. A race that lives alongside the Armu, in their towns and cities as brothers under me, their father. Each will have incredible skill at the creation of arms, unsurpassed by the mortal races. Not only that, but each will be able to enchant their creations with extra effects, with their affinity for enchanting magics. The Armu will sell these weapons to the other races, spreading my sphere far and wide, reserving the best for their own use.

But what will be the best form for them? They need not the masses of tentacles to wield multiple weapons-perhaps just two hands fit for their work? No-they should have an affinity for what they are working with. They shal be blobs of a special metal, no different than flesh. Simple round blobs capable of jutting out pseudopod to do the work other races use limbs for. The forms are not fit for combat, not even against the other mortal races. But they will be perfect for smithing, with their false limbs designed specifically for the weapon. They will not even need tools to work- their own body will be capable of becoming any tool they may need. The metal will be silvery in color, to better reflect the heat of the forge they build inside of themselves. Yes, I will make 3 million of these, the addition to the Fusil Family.

(I hope that doesn't cost extra, it is already leaving me at one point....)

(Wow, that was a huge boost this tick.)

"Now that I have the essance, I with go forth with the creation of the Seppo."

I bring forth a large smelter, where yellow hot liquid falls down into space. I shape this liquid like clay, whispering it the secrets of smithing and enchanting as I do so. Soon, after the metal begun drying, I separate the massive blobs into hundreds of thousands of Seppo, carefully forming each one with my own hand. Then I send them to the two worlds, into the cities the Armu have formed to act as their weapon makers and repeat the process until I have sent 3 million down, a million and a half to each world.

Ask Rufus what is happening on his travels. Ask my Dream angel to inspire dreams of peace and of understanding the other races.

Create wandering fireflies of many different colours to fly over the planet in constant migration. Create humanoid cacti that live in the desert. Existing on a light and water diet. Give them genetical memory, and high intelligence, a low reproduction rate, but a high understanding of emotions. Their hands are thorny, yet very nimble.

They shall live in the Desert of Despairing Heats, with its prominent red sand.

(Oh so we're doing that? Ok then.)

Yaos creates 9 orbs of power and gives them to the emperors and kings of Slytha. They will augment their magic, charisma, their skill-at-arms, or whatever their primary attribute is, and compel them to commit acts of great Ambition. More (open) Yaos worship = MOAR POWAH

Edit: (If the kings attempt to increase their power by having people worship Yaos, it'll work.)

Edit2: (Yaos doesn't go down and actually give the orbs to them, they just 'find' them while on hunting trips or in their garden or something. They're the size of golf balls and only the kings will notice them and pick them up.)

Tick 27: Building and recruiting

(Build orders up to now are being processed. Special units will be available for purchase in a few hours. You can now click on the map to drop a pointer and get the coordinates of the pixel on which you clicked to guide armies more precisely and stuff. Battle-relevant structures (e.g. walls) will be made visible for scouted cities soon.)

Khaziraad has created the Puzzle Boxes, which are shifting 3D mazes, in the wilds between civilizations.

Yaos has claimed some recently discovered lands for the Empire. An ambitious human has decided to become a super villain. He has been scolded by his parents for making a mess in the kitchen and has been sent to his room to Brood Darkly.

Grauel has created the Garden of Hunger, a partition of the large grand spirit dimension in which followers of Hunger may feast before cycling back to life. A party of Gruen have arrived on the Island of Death and Riches. They seem not to be too greedy for riches and are mostly ignored for the most part by the assorted guardians of treasure. One bored, slightly treasure-seeking Gruen has been caught and eaten by a spider.

Fusil has created the Seppo, a race of weak but skilled smiths and enchanters to assist the Armu in creating weapons. They appear to be flowing blobs of metal.

Artisanii has sent an Inspheration to the Keshan grand shrine and made an appearance, requesting a perfect work. No one knows or can agree on the definition of a perfect work, but the consequences of actually being able to fulfill this commission are unknown and not to be dismissed.

Rufus reports that the various races are, unfortunately, in a state of great mistrust. The Dream angel tries to spread understanding and peace, but this appears to be only slightly successful.

The Light has created many wandering fireflies of many colors and a race of humanoid cacti to populate the Desert of Despairing Heats.

Neron has created the Rani, a race of magically gifted flightless avians, to inhabit the great temple of ice and spread the way of the cold.

Azem has created seven magic gems and given them to the underkings and underqueens. They are pleased at the gift and grow closer to Azem.

Yaos has checked on the Underqueen's twins. It appears that both of them are much younger than the current heir and too young to have such propensities for digging anyway. The current heir is a popular dwarf renowned for his progressive dreams of a massive underground trade network linked with the Star elves and their efficient Noxen transport network.

This update's dominant constellations are the Crown and Gravestone. There is an intense aurora over Keshan. The ice ring above Slytha has become more visible.

Ah, but there is something valuable to the Gruen on the Island. New exotic creatures to eat! Or have they all forgotten?

Grauel kindly reminds the Gruen that the Island is full of fantastic treasure that they would be interested in. By which he means a treasure trove of different exotic creatures to eat. Including the Defenders of the actual treasure! If they win against the treasure defenders, they are also reminded that more treasure hunters will be coming for the shinies and that defending the treasure in place of the original creature is a great way to have food come to them.

The defenders that lose to the Gruen probably weren't very worthy defenders anyway and the ones that win against the Gruen will hopefully eat them like the spider and become ever stronger and more ferocious Grue-Hybrids.

Azem, if you have issue with this, let me know. I don't intend any offense, it just seemed like it would make things more exciting there.

Yaos: You create nine orbs of Ambition and give them to the nine most powerful kings, queens, emperors, and empresses on Slytha.

(Gravity generating Essence has been knocked down by fiat. It would make little sense to have a completely cross-aligned adiabatic process generate or consume Essence at all.)

(Azem: Vote counted)

Grauel: The Gruen colonizers take a sudden interest in the various creatures on the island. The end result is that the island becomes far more deadly than before. There are some losses on the party's part, but most of them survive and end up defending the treasures for the free food they bring.

(Also, Essence inflation is real but only really happens noticeably when things like the generator or free additional Essence income plan introduce more into the system.)

Instead of listening to random prayers, Yaos listens to the prayers of the Orb Holders and the heir to the Underqueen.

Post by: Kilojoule Proton on November 07, 2014, 07:37:34 am

Tick 27.5: Finalization

Yaos has created nine orbs of Ambition and distributed them to the most powerful humans on Slytha.

The island of Death and Riches has been colonized by a small party of Gruen, who have taken it upon themselves to help in guarding the treasure. As a result, the ratio of Death to Riches has increased, and some report the presence of fast-acting poisonous golden apple trees covered in moss.

Jeffrey advises that Yaos begin preparing an army, what with the start of the (either human or Gruen) invasion approaching rapidly. The Duondio seems to have become a lore-keeper and spends most of his remaining days telling interesting stories to both young and old.

(Artisanii: Could you rewrite that to clarify your intention? I'm a bit unsure about what it's supposed to mean.)

The family responsible for starting a network of gambling dens praises Varee but hopes that he keeps them relatively safe from the recent rash of robberies.

The heir to the Underqueen does not pray to Yaos. It seems the war has driven the Dwarves away from most of the gods and toward Azem, Anath, and Khaziraad. Many of the Orb Holders, however, have prayed a bit:
Mighty King: "By my Ambition and my Orb, I pray that Yaos grant me this province!"
Tome-Queen: "All secrets shall be unlocked with the help of Yaos, Prince of Drive."
Devoted Lord: "None of my people shall dare defy your will, O Yaos."
Terrific Warlady: "Yaos grant us victory this day! Charge! For the High Race!"
Immense Emperor: "Thanks to Yaos and my efforts, my family and I shall never starve."
Potent Sovereign: "We shall put down these rebelling villains. Yaos guarantees it."
Inquisitive Empress: "Grant me the vision to see their crimes, as you have done for all before."
The other two are currently in need of little.

This update's dominant constellations are the Hammer and Sword. The aurora over Keshan continue to be very active. The ice ring above Slytha has returned to normal.

Azem listens to the prayers of the most powerful leaders among his followers.

I thought that dwarves were primarily worshipers of Azem, though their prayers are not surprising. Let's hear what they have to say.

Also, create 300 massive worm like creatures that would tunnel through earth or sand, leaving tunnels in their wake. They would feed upon metal ores and excrete pure metals.

(They seem rather similar to the Burrowers Beneath. I wonder how they'll react to one another.)

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 07, 2014, 07:37:34 am

Jeffrey advises that Yaos begin preparing an army, what with the start of the (either human or Gruen) invasion approaching rapidly.

(I would but I'm still waiting on Special Units to be finished what with the whole Humanos, Paladin, and Saeva thing unless they're handled differently. They aren't naturally reproducing races so I don't know if Points are used in making them or merely Essence. I also don't know how many of each make a unit. I have 100 Paladins so does that make a unit? I have 1,000 Humanos Grande so does that make 10 units? Are these not going to be counted at all? It's ok if they're not; this is just a mini-game after all.)

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 07, 2014, 07:37:34 am

Mighty King: "By my Ambition and my Orb, I pray that Yaos grant me this province!"
Tome-Queen: "All secrets shall be unlocked with the help of Yaos, Prince of Drive."
Devoted Lord: "None of my people shall dare defy your will, O Yaos."
Terrific Warlady: "Yaos grant us victory this day! Charge! For the High Race!"
Immense Emperor: "Thanks to Yaos and my efforts, my family and I shall never starve."
Potent Sovereign: "We shall put down these rebelling villains. Yaos guarantees it."
Inquisitive Empress: "Grant me the vision to see their crimes, as you have done for all before."
The other two are currently in need of little.

Blessed.
Blessed.
Double-blessed.
Blessed.
Ignore.
Blessed.
Blessed.
I assume they're praying to me, but just not requesting anything. If they're not praying to me, the orbs show a decrease in power.
If the Orb Holders don't give proper thanks/worship after completing their self-assigned objectives they will notice a marked decrease in the potency of the Orbs.

EDIT: (I challenge the imminent death of Proposal 24.00! Rule 04.03 states that any proposal that is stagnant for 3 Ticks will be removed, but people have voted on Proposal 24.00 (not including Abstains) in the last tick. Just because it hasn't been passed doesn't mean it's stagnant; people are still voting on it.)

EDIT2: (I'm not able to buy anything because it says I have no starting points and no income. There are no red rings, assuming there are supposed to be any.)

(Artisanii: Could you rewrite that to clarify your intention? I'm a bit unsure about what it's supposed to mean.)

I create spirits named Sanaa who inhabit works of Blessed Art. They inspire people and act as the middle man between a Mortal and Artisanii.

(While I prepare the T28 update, I suggest that everyone planning to participate in the war mini-game check either the main site (http://kilojouleproton.net84.net) or the mirror site (http://kilojouleproton.altervista.org), depending on which one works. Check to see if your special units are available and stuff and maybe skim the Mechanics page (which is actually quite sparse despite the apparent page length).)

Azem hears these prayers from the most powerful leaders of Greed:
Golden Underking: "Praise Azem! Praise the miners! May they continue to bring us much gold from the depths!"
Fecund Underqueen: "Thank Azem good food spoils quickly!"
Low Freeminer: "We now have a third of the listed miners in our ranks. May we continue to grow."
Mountwyrm Hypermerchant: "Can you guide me on where I should go next, Lord Azem?"
Diamond Dragon: "The people need your guidance. They seek a way to keep gold from melting so easily."
Emerald Councilor: "How may we better serve you? We continue to have a monopoly, which leaves little room for greed."
Nautical Shipper: "I have commissioned a treasure fleet in your name, Lord Azem. May you bless our ventures."

Dwarven prayers directed mostly toward Khaziraad include these:
"I want to build a perfect house badly, but I haven't built before."
"Are these tales of construction runes true, O Master Builder?"
"How many extra angles should I put in a square room's floor plan?"
"I wish I could go on an adventure with a golem!"

Khaziraad has created and distributed unnamed giant worms that consume various ores and excrete their reduced forms. This has the effect of leaving a trail of highly enriched ores of various kinds with the occasional vein of native metal.

Yaos has blessed the Mighty King, the Tome-Queen, the Devoted Lord, the Terrific Warlady, the Potent Sovereign, and the Inquisitive Empress. The other two also follow Yaos (or their perception of Yaos, anyway) closely but are currently on break from doing ambitious things. They all thank Yaos greatly for the gifts of the Orbs.

(Yaos: The 0 starting points/income bug should be fixed by now. I triggered it while cleaning up some particularly messy code, but I think I got it to count the two again now. Red rings are available only for those whose races actually have a conditional Move bonus, e.g. while going over water or something.)

Artisanii has created the Sanaa, spirits of Blessed Art. They can converse with mortals and mediate between them and Artisanii.

Further details are requested for the gas giant and the scarybeast proposals. Filling up the diplomatic grid by messaging relevant players is recommended at this point (along with mutual confirmation messages to me if you want the relations to be recognized).

This update's dominant constellations are the Staff and Ship. The aurora over Keshan glow bright red, and it is anomalously stormy. Visions of unseen horrors afflict the magically gifted.

I am sick of our mortals falling under the influence of cults and such so easily! Perhaps, my brothers, there is something we can do to stop this. I propose we start a divine awareness campaign, warning people of the dangers of the void. We will distribute posters with clever slogans warning people of cults, have the playwrights perform public service announcements, and other public outcry against the void. Think of the children!"

Gruen eat anything organic or not and recreate more gruen. They worship hunger by merely existing, not to count gruen hybrids. Income is hardly surprising. I would Agree with informing the mortals of the void and dangers it poses, but it needs to be done in a way that mortals would take seriously, lest we have people performing summoning rituals just to prove that the neiberhood priest is spouting bullshit.

Gues that would be a problem for races that grow senile with age. And those where young are all without exception brats. So we're pretty much back to humans. Who are ruled by ambition, which includes power no matter the source.

Tick 28.5: See Transports

Following Khaziraad's advice, a random dwarf has begun to join an auxiliary building crew. They are currently creating a small housing complex. Another has requested knowledge of the runes of building but has been turned away for inexperience. A builder has constructed a square room (insofar as the angles are all right) of thirty-six sides, which is, coincidentally, the sacred number of Pa'orrsnoghysnlnn. No Void influence has been detected from this project so far, but the commissioner has decided to use the space as a mausoleum instead. A party of Dwarves have joined a Golem construction team to build a hoard vault for a particularly rich dragon.

The Archlawyer has gone to sue some gem dragons for taking payment for mercenary work and doing exactly as much as they would be expected to do. The first one visited is a topaz dragon who listens, nods every few minutes, and proceeds to pull out a stack of thick tomes on draconian lawmancy and begin reading various obscure precedents and increasingly strict codes for a few days without rest. She concludes that she herself was not commissioned for any kind of work or related to anyone who was to within three generations or matings and may therefore sue the Archlawyer instead for wasting her time. She notes that she is fairly inexperienced in lawmancy compared to other dragons but can easily tell when a potential suitor of a tiny race is trying to take her hard-earned hoard.

Yaos attempts to read the dreams of all magical Yaos-followers, which is suspiciously easy (suggesting that humans are not terribly magic-inclined, given their state of being created unaligned). The minds Yaos manages to read contain dreams of large humanoids slaughtering innocents of many races and shadowy figures in towns, disturbing random citizens. Some include a particularly unsettling scream emanating from nowhere in particular and causing intense pain to all visible people and even gods.

The Ikan are irritated by an outsider intruding on their settlement yet again. It seems that they closely associate the less elfin humanoid shapes with the Void. They state that their recent findings are not open to outsiders, but they do state that the most telekinetically able humans in general seem to be somewhat tied to the Void even before knowing about it.

Kujin has awakened and created a temple known as the Buaki in order to combat various beasts (and possibly the eldritch, should anything considered to be eldritch choose to manifest directly). Kujin has additionally created the Ikakus, a bellicose race with the ability to use the energy known variously as Energy and (q|ch|k)i.

Artisanii's commission has been met with many works of various media, but few would argue that any of them are even close to perfect. This does have the effect of increasing absolute art output, which is somewhat comforting. There are still a few mortals in the Library, and most of them are concentrated around the sections related to various techniques and existing works.

This is a visible, friendly reminder to all that the GodManager has the assistance of Google (Godgle?) for enforcing the No-Ersatzes rule (non-?)retroactively for suspicious creations, and that it works even for summarized descriptions without sufficiently unique names (for much the same reason plagiarizing an essay by summarization rarely works). While you can still break the rule, it will result in a (silent) price increase.

This update's dominant constellations are the Dagger and Sword. The aurora over Keshan no longer glow bright red, but their intensity is worrying to many.

They shall be able to carve out one sentence defining a goal while within this spiritual plane, and when they rejoin the reincarnation cycle their new form will seek to achieve the carved out goal.

Tick 29: Spend!

There are a few monks at Kujin's temple. Unfortunately, none of them are particularly motivated and are simply there to talk about fighting and relax.

Rufus reports that a party of white-cloaked figures were seen traveling into the wilderness. Matharis has managed to bring together a group of builders and architects, but it seems that the architect is particularly insistent about making the temple circular. Some recent prayers include the following:
"I feel my quest to reach the house is not fitting. May I be given another one?"
"How will we be safe with human and Gruen hordes ready to overrun our lands at any moment?"
"Could you make my hand glow like a Luminee's? It would make looking for my mother's ring much easier."

Artisanii has examined a few works the creators consider to be perfect. Among the more frequently discussed are...

• ...A misshapen blob of clay
• ...A drawing of a square
• ...A tragedy about an executed king so horrifying that the audience invariably turns violent
• ...A nauseating sculpture of flowing bronze
• ...A statue of a woman made out of cubes
• ...A composition so pleasant that listeners become strongly addicted to it
• ...A drawing of a straight line
• ...A portrait of a Muse that blinks every few seconds

(In light of recent observations, the Ikan are mistrustful of non-elven humanoids for their mysterious connection to the Void, especially those aligned closely with foreign gods.)

The builder building a convex room with thirty-six right angles was, of course, a Dwarf (as was the client).

Yaos begins to attempt to hook up with the minds of all magicians, telekinetics, and telepaths (this was what was intended, but I see no reason for telekinetics to be excluded). This will cost some Essence, so it has been postponed pending confirmation. (2-3E)

Some Divine and Psymental mages have been brought in to examine the truth of the topaz dragon's statements. She patiently repeats her arguments, and the tired, hungry mages conclude that she is telling the truth after the third day.

Khaziraad has constructed an afterlife for the creations and products of mortals and mortal effort where the currently dead may set brief goals for their reincarnated selves to try to fulfill. It is by far the largest partition in the grand spirit dimension.

The Lords of Hunger have begun preparing a feast for Grauel. It seems that powerful Gruen have bribed them to put bits of themselves in the stew in addition to those of the standard criminals. They intend to make it much larger than the previous one, and many Gruen and Grauel followers from everywhere come to see the preparation of the Stew and possibly see Grauel eating in person (and possibly be eaten, in the case of some of them).

This update's dominant constellations are the Dragon (!) and Phoenix. The Keshan aurora have mostly returned to normal but continue to exhibit a reddish tinge.

"Why would God of Randomness need apurpose for anything?

The "curse" as you call it, would not deny reading within the library, nor would it render people unable to return what they took and leaving afterwards. But I see your point."

Change the enchantment so that only those trying to carry out property unaprooved by The Keeper would be unable to leave.

Spoiler: The Keeper (click to show/hide)

A singular sentient being bound to the Divine Library. It is capable of being at any and all places of library simultaneously, yet nobody would see him in more than one place at once. It would look like a shadow covered in robe with a cowl, only a pair of red eyes shining from underneath the cowl. It would stand guard just inside the entrance of the Library, yet could be called by anyone within the library to provide help with finding a specific text or reporting minor ofenses.

"Ok, look, if the god who is responsible for kidnapping Lyle fesses up then all will be forgiven and we can move on like nothing ever happened. I promise, I probably won't care unless it was for a really awful reason. If I don't get him back by Tick 30.....well, I think I'll let that be a surprise. Just a disclaimer: that something does NOT involve the Void at all because fuck the Void!"

Yaos gets Jeffrey's advice. Since it's been a full 2 Ticks, he listens to some prayers that don't belong to the Orb Holders.

"Hey Kujin, is it ok if you send someone down to teach the Inquisitors some non-lethal combat techniques? I'd have asked Fusil for non-lethal weapons but everyone knows how he thinks of me."

"Grauel, could you please condemn the practice of eating humans? That way I can have the Inquisition stop chasing after Gruen cults and focus on Void cults. As it is they're kind of stretched thin."

Vaal continues to diplomacise with the Ikan and asks them to make a device which can detect Void influence precisely at close range. Yaos is an enemy of the Void, just like the Ikan, and wants to fight against it.

(Why doesn't it say that I'm opposing Proposal 28.00?)

Yaos further strengthens the Human Plane and the Shadow Realm (which should still be secret) against unauthorised access or visibility.

I'm reluctant for several reasons. One, doing so goes almost directly against my sphere. Two, the conflict is one of my main sources of entertainment right now. I'd need a very good reason to tell the Gruen not to eat something and currently I just don't see one. If you really want to keep the Gruen away from humans so much though, feel free to point out something better for them to eat or create a new more readily available and filling food source for them. That would probably keep most of them too occupied to eat humans except for the ones that have a real taste for the flavor.

(Yaos and Azem and Neron: Votes counted now on local copy)

Yaos: Jeffrey advises that Yaos commission a dam upstream from a frequently flooding river. You hear the following prayers from assorted non-Orb followers:
Young Child: "I wish I could keep all my teeth! Then I'd be a scary monster! Roar!"
Aged Weaver: "I shall become a champion of weaving. May Yaos bless me in my ambition."
Town Guard Commander: "We don't have enough volunteers for our town militia. Should I force the able to join?"
Unlucky Man: "I wish all this bad luck would stop. I guess I'll see if Yaos can do something about it."

Knowing about the war, the Ikan are very distrustful about both the followers of Yaos and the followers of Grauel and pretty much everyone except for elves. They nonetheless produce a device for Vaal that can detect only whether Void influence is above or below CEB levels at a range of three meters/yards.

Both of the Yaosian planes have been strengthened (as much as they can be, given their colocation with other gods' planes in a Council dimension) against access or visibility.

Joha: You listen to some prayers from assorted followers:
Ikan Elder: "Can you keep out all these foreign intruders? Their potential for corruption is very worrying."
Life-Lab Mage: "Do you have any advice on what we should make next?"
Thirsty Cactus: "Is it true what they say about a land covered in water? Can I go there?"

Neron: The Rani seem to be isolated enough to avoid significant Void influence. Their nightmares seem mostly limited to visions of burning houses and fire in general.

Azem: Most of the dreams of your more magically inclined followers contain relatively few common themes. These themes include visions of shinies turning dull and brown, foreigners passing through their territory, mysterious humanoid figures killing powerful Mountwyrms, and caravans getting slaughtered by invaders.

Fusil: The Armu report that a number of the more susceptible mages have died in their sleep with no apparent wound. Those who live report having had dreams of having only two arms, being a fleshy humanoid, losing a bunch of Seppo, having dull weapons, cloaked figures killing civilians, and being invaded by foreign forces.

He has four horns on his head, using them for combat. His purpose is to scour the world and commit legendary deeds of heroism in the name of Kujin. He is the master of all Martial Arts.

(Kujin: -3E)
Kujin: You create the first Orc, Buqurek, and command him to perform legendary deeds of heroism. He interprets this to mean performing a legendary slaughter of the inferior mortals and proceeds to kill over a hundred assorted mortals in various villages.

(Fusil: -3E)
Fusil: You prototype a Dreamkiller, a ceremonial nightmare-damping pillow and show the Seppo how to make it. There is a thriving industry for them, but art output drops noticeably in places where Dreamkillers are available.

Anath: The Termitia are busy scouting the many Burrows of the *Shadowdeep. They seem to be doing quite well, but have not had serious contact with the other races.

(Yaos: Vote updated)
Yaos: You agree to support the *Void Resistance and Organized Opposition Movement (*VROOM) in exchange for Fusil's help in finding the little lost lawyer. Tykki has found Lyle the little lost lawyer in what appears to be a crop circle near a human town. There are twisty symbols over his mouth and impossible shapes painted on his face, and his back is filled with the misspelled names of Void Beings. He reports that he was taken by a Void Messenger with a flowing face sent to corrupt him.

The scientists have begun planning out a dam, considering the effects on fields and villages upstream from the site of the dam. There is currently some conflict resulting from some wanting to place the dam anyway and save those downstream completely and some not wanting any dam to avoid the responsibility of having  displaced the upstream population.

The Aged Weaver has created a detailed tapestry depicting the forms or symbols of the gods and the main Void factions. It is widely praised and admired.

Tykki and the angels of Fusil have appeared near Buqurek, as has Vaal. Tykki is wielding a wicked blade whose very appearance inspires fear. Buqurek is currently eating a recently caught deer. A Hooded Deathly Lady has also appeared. Her presence seems to nullify the cosmic eldritch background radiation (CEB).

"This here. This is why you petty gods must be kept out of the world. What shall you do, agents of the divines?"

Yaos: (Serac did not flood that system, and Serac's primary sphere is Oceans anyway.)
The scientists put away the plans and discussion about the dam and inspect the device. The device seems to unsettle those closest to it and the most magically susceptible when dismantled.

(I do not eat these female mangos or really ani(me) fruit. The angels are as powerful as the records dictate and are unaffected by such external considerations. Try not to compare potentially orthogonal abilities, in any case. ;))

Tick 29.5: Build! (because almost no one with a race has submitted a production order)

A minor magical accident has granted a boon of jelly rolls to a Hummingbird village. The jelly rolls have been sold at negative prices to nearby villages.

Lyle the Archlawyer has been abducted by a flying monkey while attempting to sue a topaz dragon. He was later found in a crop circle with various probably Void-related markings and a memory of a horror with a flowing face which attempted to corrupt him.

A caravan led by the famed Hypermerchant has made contact with the Rani. What goods do the Rani produce?

The Gem Council has recently recruited some human followers of Azem and set them to various expansion-related tasks.

A grand treasure fleet has arrived at a coastal Luminee village displaying the wealth of its owner. Many are enthralled by the brilliant colors on the ships themselves.

Khaziraad has created the Keeper, a guard for the Divine Library in the form of a robed shadow with red eyes. It has the ability to help those who call on it with finding books or taking care of removed books.

An artful weaver has created a massive tapestry depicting the forms and symbols of the gods and the symbols of the main factions of the Void. An ultimate manager has opened a large network of gambling houses. Although his life is filled with assassination attempts, he himself remains content.

The Prophet of Neron nods at Neron's orders and leaves to look for Void dreamers to calm. It appears that there are no Void-touched at the moment.

Many magically gifted individuals of various races seem to have had nightmares related to the war and stranger things in general. Some of the most susceptible have even died. In response, Fusil has created and taught the Seppo how to create the Dreamkiller, a pillow with the power to reduce nightmares. This has had the effect of slightly decreasing art output in places distributing it.

Buqurek, Kujin's first creation, seems to have grossly misinterpreted a command to perform legendary deeds and has performed a legendary slaughter. He was slain by Tykki, Fusil's primary angel, with the disapproval of the Hooded Dame. At the site of her disappearance, there is a note reading "If you want me so badly, why not just call me?" The strike team has searched the area, and Tykki has attempted to detect anomalies in the CEB, but there is no sign of her.

Yaos' top scientists have begun work on a dam at a particularly flood-prone area. Yaos has canceled this in favor of examining a piece of Ikan technology with the ability to detect whether Void influence is above or below background levels. Disassembling the device has greatly disturbed the assembled members.

Fusil has assisted in the distribution of knowledge on non-lethal techniques to various humans.

This update's dominant constellations are the Hammer and Ship.

(I copied Lyle's memories and planted them into mine. Did I get any clues about the Void or something?)

I remove the markings on Lyle. Once all Void influence is removed I will have him create patents.

Why don't mages just stop the flooding? Magic is very flexible like that. If that doesn't work, Malik can just use his prophet miracleness to make the river stop flooding (this is playing off the assumption that he has enough power to, completely random example here, part the Red Sea).

Yaos changes into his young, female form.

"Hey guys, I don't think we do enough things together. Does anyone have any projects they want some help with? I'm willing to do it so long as they help me on one of my own. That way, it'll be cheaper for both of us to do the things we want!" ^_^

Support 21.00.1

(Regarding Lyle: You got a confused mess mostly focused around a Void Messenger trying to corrupt him. The outcome is uncertain and ambiguous, but he doesn't radiate anomalous levels of eldritch energy or anything like that.)

Lyle pulls out a long parchment and begins to attempt to create patent law.

(Flooding: There is a high risk of burning out many of the mages involved. Keep in mind that rivers tend to hold orders of magnitude more water than, say, an elementalist's water-based attack. While parting it temporarily can work, it requires constant effort to maintain the parting and may also result in burning out.)

(Vote counted. 28.00 is an imminent pass since at this point, 8 have voted (>50% of active players), all of whom support it (>50% of +/- voters if unopposed, >60% of +/- voters if opposed). What is less certain is the exact implementation, which I reckon will spawn a few discussions.

<x (y)>: x represents the ordinary total price of a proposal. y represents the estimated individual cost based on level of support. y is charged to everyone supporting the parent proposal regardless of voting on child proposals for by-committee things like the gas giant plan or the megabeast one.)

(Alright, that answers my questions about voting. Thanks for that. Is it possible to make the river a kind of spirit that can be appeased with the occasional sacrifice? That's a thing that cultures IRL have done for millennia and continue to do today. It would be kinda cool if we could make that a tangible thing in this world, considering that this is a god game.)

"Hmmm. It would seem this Hooded Lady has a crush on me, what else could she mean by "If you want me so bad, why not just call me?"? If she is able to leave a note like this before we even start searching for her, she must be even more powerful and plot relevant than we realize. She removes the radiation...does that mean she is on our side, or has she fallen to the Null? In any case, this will have to be investigated further. Try looking for any entrance to a foreign 'bubble', she couldn't have got too far..."

Calling her sounds like a bad idea, one to save for later. For now, STF looks for any bubble.

Awww. Nope. Stay in the safety of the non-murdering Bubble we know and love. Ill have to think of another way. Since the bubble in that story was stuck in one location, it should not be too difficult finding it if it is around here. She has to exit some time, after all.

"Because a potentially dangerous, known-to-be powerful mage is on the loose? Not only that, but she hates us. Particularly you, for causing this. If we do not act swiftly, she will only get more powerful and angry. There is no telling what she will do, or what she has done. You are the only one who has attempted to do anything with her, and all your attempts have been blocked by fate. The fact fate has taken such an interest in her is proof that we cannot avoid her without consequences."

"If it wasn't for you, none of this would have ever happened and you know it. I can beat fate if I try hard enough. Fate won't stop me from killing, it is not powerful enough to do so. You should really be more considerate to mortal's feelings, after all you did indirectly cause the death of multiple of her close relatives and then fail to save her little brother. Certainly, her anger was warranted. But she is somehow still alive, without having crossed over yet. Is that not suspicious to you?

"The father died in a Gruen skirmish, correct? Now why where the humans fighting the Gruen? Because you declared war on them. Another member of her family died when your inquisition killed him. Surly you can see how your commands directly ended that man's life. The mother died because, as god of humans, you failed to remedy the simple biological fact that the race you created can't even reproduce correctly without dying. You haven't seemed to even attempt to remedy that fact. Do you think that Gruen ever die during pregnancy? And, after all that, you failed to even attempt anything to save her brother aside from a few basic ideas. If we look for his soul, I am sure it hasn't moved on yet. I am sure she found a way to keep him in stasis, or keep it locked up. Because, in this case, the one who needed to die was the one you failed to kill when I suggested it."

"The father died fighting the Gruen because I declared war on them. That is true. I declared war on them because they were eating humans and both their god and government allowed and protected the practice.
The brother wasn't a target for assassination or even arrest, the Inquisition just went to retrieve an illegal artifact in his possession and he only died when he tried to kill the Inquisitors so he could keep it. It almost certainly wouldn't have brought his father back to life anyway.
As for dying from childbirth, I think you can blame Azem for that fact as well because he's the one that created my race in the first place and it's because of him that death by childbirth is even possible. I'd fix it myself but I'm unsure about the ethical implications of simply editing a sapient species unless it was absolutely necessary for the race's survival. I'd have brought her, the father, and the brother back to life but only if they went to the Human Plane, which they should have if it wasn't decreed that the soul spawn rate stay static and only allow for 5% of all souls to go to an afterlife.
Oh, and I'm sorry that I'm so against baby-killing. There really is no greater crime than that, is there?

I ask again, Fusil, will you help me bring the brother back to life? At the very least it should earn some goodwill with the girl. Maybe it can open communications between us and her."

"I did not say you where not justified. I did not say you could see the outcomes. What I said was that you caused their deaths. And, by becoming defensive at this accusation, you have proven those words true. You caused their deaths and you know it. The fact that you claimed that babie's soul and never got it means that something worse than death happened to the baby, certainly a greater crime than me painlessly releasing it into the next world.

Now, again, I refuse to break the cycle of life and death. Communications are obviously open, she did leave us a not saying we can call her. Take responsibility for the killings. I will finish the investigation, find out what is going on, and fix any problems that occur."

Tick 30: Build!

A large gas giant with 30 major (unnamed, undescribed) moons has been created in both systems. While it is assumed that they are located past the snow line, it is possible that they are in a warmer orbit. They are currently uninhabited.

A proposal to produce anti-Void material has been passed! Details are pending, but it may end up as a series of instructional posters and messages to authority figures.

Yaos has read the mind of the recently abducted Archlawyer and discovered some strange memories about a Void Messenger attempting to corrupt him. Lyle has begun attempting to write patent law under Yaos' instruction.

(FATAL effects would break the forum guidelines. d1000 table it is.)

Varee creates the Rod of Amazement, a powerful but highly unpredictable artifact, and gives it to the newest owner of the gambling dens. The assassination attempts only increase in number (and continue failing as before). Recent effects include...

• A giant rubber duck falling out of the sky and staying for half a minute
• An earthquake damaging multiple buildings in town (and killing the assassin)
• Magnetic objects flying away from the owner for over a minute
• The appearance of a croaking small blue bunny smelling like a cat
• A small forest appearing over 20 seconds

This update's dominant constellations are the Dagger and Phoenix. The Keshan aurora are starting to brighten again. The Slythan ice ring has become prominent.

How's the progress on the Void Detection Device? Have the scientists figured out how to reproduce it? Strengthen their will so they can handle it.

The Armu are a new race, capable of surviving in the harshest of climates. They didn't exactly get the best choice of land, having come incredibly late in the game. But now, up high in the sky is a new, unnamed planet with various moons. Finally, the Armu have a new world that they can colonize themselves. I doubt the Seppo will be thrilled to join them, though if I give them the ability to travel themselves they may return at any point they like.

As such, I grant the entire Armu race the ability to travel through the ether, allowing them to take on new land uninhabited by the other races. The new moons will be cultivated to the best of their reality-warping abilities. I will also walk the streets of the Armu towns, informing everyone that they can now travel through space.

Yaos creates a small clan of ninjas - about 20 in number - to serve directly under her. Unless they're on a mission directly given by her, however, they're pretty autonomous and will probably take jobs for money, power, ideology, etc....of their own free will of course. Azem helps in this endeavor.

Yaos also helps Azem create an Azemite temple in either Human or Gruen lands.

Moons tend not to have the right atmosphere or even enough atmospheric pressure to allow humans (and Earth-critters in general) to survive. This is why space adaptation is required.

Gas giant status: Barring further explanation and miraculous modification, the two giants are likely located beyond the ring in which water, ammonia, and methane are present in liquid form. The surface temperature on the planets and moons are not likely to rise above 170K (around -100°C or -150°F) during perihelion. Most of them are likely to be mostly geologically dead (if not completely). Placing them in the same orbit as Keshan/Slytha will require Council approval or an Essence payment of about 6 to miraculously stabilize Keshan/Slytha.

Yaos: The engineer has lately taken to muttering accusatorily to no one in particular and looking around suspiciously and has brought her husband (a cobbler) along to taste her food and drink for her. The device is very difficult to understand even with the gift of greater willpower and is very fragile, but the team has managed to construct a far less accurate version with fewer psymental and possibly eldritch tricks.

Lyle's Void markings have been removed.

Humanity appears to need more art in general. Jeffrey suggests that you open some publicly accessible Museums.

(You may want to reconsider the humans considering how poorly adapted they would be to near-vacuum.)

On Slytha, Gruen cults on Slytha thrive as well as they can. Gruen children play with human children, and a small demographic of Grumen exist with varying amounts of Gruen heritage.

(Fusil: -7E)
Fusil: You adapt all of the Armu for space travel. Most of them care little, given that there is little to fight in the empty lower-case-v void. A few join together to explore their existing moons.

The Light: The temple is now under construction after several delays. Some Golems have offered their assistance in constructing the building. Matharis does not currently see any odd out-of-place angles. Some wandering Luminee have been taught light magic. They take to it quite well.

(Yaos: -2E, Azem: -2E)
Yaos and Azem: You empower 20 humans with ninja abilities. They roam the lands, disguised as regular travelers, acting as stage hands, performing street entertainment, shoplifting, and punishing mimes.

You also initiate the construction of a temple of Greed in the human lands on Slytha.

All things considered, I'd say this was a success. We created a version of the device that's less insanity-inducing, most of the team is fine, the only one that can be described as not fine isn't really that insane, science advanced, and we still have the original device! The original device will be tested by Vaal to locate Void energies.

Fusil: In an interesting subversion on the typical story of the sapient doll who helps create a murderer, the girl grew up to create a successful textile empire with the assistance of her doll. Control over it has passed to a long line of female orphans, as has the clever doll.

Yaos: Vaal begins looking anywhere foreboding. So far, he has searched along a road leading out of the town where the device was produced through a poor area and has narrowed down hits from these sources:

• A burnt pastry at a bakery with a disturbing shape
• A person in robes of mourning wearing an odd necklace
• A patch of graffiti advertising an unintelligible name's collection of statues

You also commission art focusing on yourself, Azem, Joha, and Kujin. A Mischievous Urchin has placed a lewd drawing of the aforementioned gods at one of your temples and run off.

On Slytha, it seems that less humans are being eaten by the Gruen. More humans are eating Gruen spores, which indicates that the Gruen think fairly highly of the humans or the humans managed to buy some at exorbitant prices from the black market.

The pastry is destroyed. The baker, the baker's family, and the baker's friends are questioned by the Inquisition. The workplace and residence are searched - thoroughly if the Inquisition believes there's a solid lead. They also keep undercover watch over the baker for about a week.
The Inquisition questions the person about why they're in mourning, where they got the necklace from, and asks if anyone else has other jewellery with similar markings. The necklace is confiscated and destroyed. The woman's house is searched. The Inquisition keeps undercover watch over the person for about a week.
All interrogations are conducted by the Interrogation department, which consists of Divination and Psymental Inquisitors as well as non-magical interrogators. Thorough (i.e. painful, intrusive, maddening, etc.) psy-probing is only done on those confirmed to be wilfully affiliated with the Void. Physical torture is only used as a last resort, considering it's unreliability.
A Divination mage and a priest of Artisanii (graffiti falls under art, right?) attempt to divine the name or at least the person who wrote the graffiti. If successful, the graffiti is destroyed, and a squad of Inquisitors is sent to do their thing (interrogation of suspects and the suspects friends, family and co-workers, a search of the place of residence and workplace, following the primary suspects for a week - Inquisition SOP).
Paladins are brought in when an exceptionally powerful Void wizard is found or a cult meeting is going to get raided and stuff.

If it was just a weird symbol then it wouldn't have even been noticed, but this pastry has a weird symbol that has VOID RADIATION emitting from it! Besides, Void stuff isn't just destroyed right there where it's found, it's taken to an isolated location and THEN destroyed; That way, if destroying the object releases some kind of Void thing it won't be near a populated area.

As for interrogations, it's less 'bag their heads and transport them to the interrogation room' and more 'we'd like to ask you a few questions'. If they're suspects, they're brought to HQ. If not, they're questioned where they are without the psymental/divination stuff. Oh crap.)

The pastry is thoroughly destroyed and stops triggering Vaal's device after its shape has changed enough, much to the chagrin of the baker. The Inquisition concludes that the the baker's entire family (and the baker too) are guilty of Void worship and proceed to search the shop and home, picking up anything not nailed down. They are all arrested.

The mourner says that he stops mourning and singing eulogies for passing dead people if given sufficient payment. His necklace seems to have been a bribe from a rich family potentially involved in strange practices not to attend the funeral of one of their beloved parents. He says that Inquisitors who give the family trouble are often given valuable necklaces to keep them silent.

The graffiti remains illegible and is promptly destroyed. The area continues to trigger Vaal's Void detector, and the Inquisitors inquire everyone in the area about Void-related activities.

Sorae Schemer: "Nothing much, just some experiments."

Four galleys worth of floatstone for experiments? Granted. You must tell me what your results are.
Watch him to see what he does with the stone.

Anyone want to bet he is going to steal a fleet of ships?

Yaos: It turns out that the family is involved with funding a Void cult for the purpose of increasing membership in the Inquisition. They seem to have a history of making self-destructive decisions.

The building with the graffiti is an old wooden mill. It has since been used by various children and Void cults and children's Void cults as a hideout.

Lyle has created a document on patent law! He gives it to an Inquisitor and explains that it depends heavily on them enforcing it with the threat of death.

The artists have created a variety of works, of various media. There seems to be an abundance of statues of the four gods emphasized.

Serac: The Schemer has lifted an entire ship filled with boulders using the floatstone. Some of them fall onto a nearby town, destroying a few warehouses. (Warstuff updated)

Their property is confiscated, the adults are executed (after gaining the location and identities of cults, cultists, and corrupt Inquisitors of course), the children are sent to re-education facilities, the corrupt Inquisitors receive execution by angel (and Vaal), cults and cultists are hunted down the children sent to...you know what? I'm going to stop mentioning this. It'll always ALWAYS happen in the case of children, but I'll just stop explicitly mentioning it, but they get sent to re-education facilities. Now where was I? Ah yes, the adult cultists are executed and all Void items found are destroyed.

Anyone who visits the mill will be captured, interrogated, and dealt with appropriately (children get re-educated, adults get executed). After about a week with no visitors, the mill is allowed to be destroyed by Strike Team Fusil.

Lyle has obviously been corrupted by the Void. He is not executed, but he is kept under lock and key in a well-fortified fortress. The document is taken by the Inquisitor, he's told to disregard everything the archlawyer said, and Yaos inspects the document with a Gem Dragon.

Tick 30.5: Purchase! (Anath, Kli, and the Light have not submitted probably complete orders)

An imperfect copy of a Void energy detector has been recreated by a group of intellectuals employed by Yaos' empire. The original has been used by Vaal in an attempt to find sources of Void contamination.

A lunar Armu expedition on Slytha has discovered the Divine Library. Crowds of random Armu have decided to enter the Library, much to the great annoyance of the Muses, the Mantras, and the currently present readers.

A grand, cylindrical temple to the Light has completed construction. The local priests are gathering donations for an impressive painting on its ceiling and statues to place around it.

The combined efforts of Azem and Yaos have created a small group of ninja (which are mammals). They wander the lands in roofed carriages and put their skills to good use in earning money. The two have also commissioned a temple of Greed in a Slythan human kingdom.

A group of shady figures have released a number of non-Void-related people currently held at re-education facilities and prisons. Some of them seem to have been slated for execution. Needless to say, the Inquisition has announced the search.

A girl given a doll containing the soul of a petty thief has managed to start and run a successful textile business. The doll is passed to a random orphans on the death or retirement of the current owner.

Following Yaos' request for religious art emphasizing Yaos, Azem, Joha, Kujin, and their angels, many assorted works have been created. The majority of the art seems to consist of painted figurines of each of the four in the form of their favored race.

The Inquisition has reacted to a baking accident by arresting the baker's entire household and obliterating the offending pastry.

A mourner has revealed possible Void and mundane corruption in a nearby family after being questioned about his odd necklace. It appears that the family has a habit of giving out strange necklaces to anyone with the potential to cause trouble for them. Following the arrest of a prisoner and some children, the area is purged, which results in a brief fire responsible for 36 deaths. The odd necklaces in the area remain untouched and unsoiled by the ash.

The possibly Void-corrupted family's adults have been summarily executed, and Inquisitors who took bribes have been disappeared. As usual, the children are sent to a re-education facility.

Some graffiti with potential Void influence on an old wooden flour mill has been filed off completely after an investigation. This case had been transferred to Strike Team Fusil, but iseems that Yaos has taken back control over it. A suspicious man has entered the building with a cartload of opened bags of grain and begun milling.

Lyle has been imprisoned for potential Void corruption following the flying monkeys incident. The Inquisitor given the document on patent law has been sent away with orders to ignore it. The document seems to contain many incoherent ramblings about "those awful hypocrites always taking our inventions that the Messenger mentioned." Some of it seems fairly coherent but highly impractical and inefficient, potentially requiring a major action on a god's part every tick.

Vaal has checked Lyle with the Ikan detector. Lyle tests as negative (i.e. approximately equal or lower than CEB).

A magnificent temple of Serac has been constructed by the Ritan, who acknowledge their divine inspiration.

A Shifty Sorae has lifted a ship filled with boulders into the air. Some boulders have dropped on some coastal warehouses and destroyed them.

The Ikan have been rebuked for their attitude toward outsiders by Joha herself. Hopefully, this will lead to greater cooperation with the deeper races.

The Slythan Life Lab has released a modified poplar tree with only perpendicular branching. There is high demand for "natural treehouses" produced using not just the perplars' wood but the living perplars themselves.

Some of Joha's cactus people have been further modified for movement and given transport to a coastal area. They are impressed by the amount of water.

Annoyed Mountwyrm: "They stink, they're arrogant, and they could invade us at any time."
Peridot dragon: "I trust your judgment, Lord Azem."

Yaos has created a psymentally attuned angel and tasked it with executing Void objects and cultists within the INquisition. Unfortunately for those opposing the Void Nulls, this will take a fairly long time to complete accurately.

This update's dominant constellations are the Dragon and Eye. The Keshan aurora fade back to a greenish hue.

"What about Saeva? I could feed them the occasional Saeva. They're basically Humans but without the sapience. Would that be adequate?"

I can't see why not. To clarify, I'm not even really encouraging the Gruen to eat Humans right now; I just don't feel like telling them not to eat something. If you try that and the Gruen like it enough to stop eating humans, then I'm perfectly fine with that.

@Grauel: "Shall we form a temporary truce until all these Void cults are dealt with?"

Assuming you're willing lay back on eradicating human, gruen and hybrid cults, then sure.

An offer is made to Gruen governments. If they declare the eating of sapient Humans illegal, then the war will end and Saeva (essentially non-sentient Humans) will be given for them to eat instead. This offer is given directly to the governments - rather than through Grauel - because he has decided to abstain from making the decision.

Oh, am I mistaken? I thought you eradicated cults that eat humans as well as those that just just worship Gruen. Admittedly the lines may be a little blurred but I figured it was worth bringing up the distinction because essentially Gruen worship tends to lead to becoming a hybrid and lots of hybrids are at least partially under my domain.

Grauel encourages the Gruen to actually hear out the messengers and not just eat them.
Might as well try it. Probably less work and similar tasting.

Tick 30.5: Purges and excitement (Anath, Kli, and the Light have not submitted probably complete orders, but the war has a chance of being resolved peacefully)

The Hypermerchant has arrived at a Rani village and made contact with them. Many of the traders seem to have turned back early, but there are enough remaining to buy up most of the Rani's goods. The Rani are fascinated by the many shinies the merchants brought, and the Hypermerchant is interested in the ice creations and the native iron crafts the Rani have. The slightly ambitious Rani have been rewarded by Yaos with better ice-sculpting skill.

The members of a corrupt family have been purged along with their possibly Void-contaminated possessions. Their land has been confiscated.

Lette has decided to fire an energy blast at the dusty mill after the miller has left, which proceeds to explode and damage surrounding buildings and to seriously injure 6 nearby people. Further investigation reveals that the Void energy has returned to normal

Potent Sovereign of Order: "Yes, that and anyone who dares serve any but you!"
Inquisitive Empress of Questions: "Well, yes. Also anyone who questions you or belief in you."

A psymentally attuned angel of Yaos has attempted to use the recreated Void meter to detect anything Void-related in the Inquisition. It seems to activate unpredictably, and the results may be called into question.

Golden Underking: "I continue to amass a hoard of gold, silver, and hardsilver. I shall create a horde of dragon statues in your name for my tomb."
Fecund Underqueen: "Can you teach me or my cooks some more expensive recipes?"
Low Freeminer: "Through Greed we have managed to expand to half of all miners!"
Mountwyrm Hypermerchant: "The trade mission was a success! We have bought many ephemeral yet valuable goods from the good Rani."
Diamond Dragon: "I have found a way to make gold high-melting. Thank you nonetheless for driving our Greed for a solution."
Emerald Council:"The ungrateful humans have decided to turn away many of our caravans."
Nautical Shipper: "We continue in our noble voyage, Lord Azem!"

The Gruen governments have been offered peace under the condition that they make the consumption of humans but not Saeva illegal. Some responses from the Gruen states closer to human states are as follows:
Large Gruen empire: "The Gruen can never be restricted from a food source. Enforcement will be futile and may result in violence and actual human-eating renegades spilling over into your borders."
Small Gruen empire: "If we do that, many disloyal but powerful Gruen will be encouraged to eat humans solely out of rebellion."
Small Gruen kingdom: "We will never agree to that. The right to devour a willing person is fundamental and can never be taken."
Small Gruen city-state: "I would be open to that if you ceded two cities."
Large Gruen empire: "We'll consider your negotiations if you submit a polite apology for terrorizing everyone near your lands."

The four randomly generated megabeasts on each world require an additional vote from The Light, Artisanii, or Khaziraad to pass if unopposed.

"If they want to become hybrids that's their choice and I won't interfere. I would even theoretically allow them to be eaten if they consented, but cults tend to spread and so more and more people would allow themselves to be killed and eaten and so it basically becomes murder by extension/association. Look at it this way: suicide is legal, but helping or convincing someone to commit suicide is not. Oh and could you support Proposal 24.00 please? We could theoretically teleport our armies there to duke it out and settle wars without any bloodshed whatsoever. Or we could just use it for fun if you want a full war. It's very flexible like that."

However way she wants! Fire, explosions, throwing a boulder at it, tearing it apart with her bare hands....any way she wants! Just so long as no one gets hurt.

(I'll let it slide because no one was killed.)
Lette goes down and heals everyone who was hurt. The damage buildings are repaired and refurbished using the (dubiously quantified) Empire's funds.

The Greek Fire grenades that the Controlados use burn too slowly. The Scientists are told to work on a grenade that burns more quickly, so that those affected by the grenade don't have to suffer for as long as they would. Protective clothing/armour is bought for them and they are given some of the prototype Saeva to use as test dummies. The blast radius, damage, etc. should remain the same, but the time it takes for something to burn down should decrease.

Now that Malik has an Orb of Ambition, does he have enough power to stop the river from flooding without burning out?

"I propose that only 40% of gods need to vote before a proposal either passes or fails. At the moment, we have fifteen, no, SIXTEEN active gods and it takes too many Ticks before a proposal either passes or fails. Under this proposal, the 50% unopposed and 60% opposed rule would still remain in effect.

The Gruen governments are asked why they create cults that specialise in eating Humans and not other sapient races. It's actually kind of racist.

15 of the gas giant moons should be Moon-like moons - barren and with no useful minerals under the surface. The Essence saved there can be used to make at least some of the other moons habitable/hospitable to Keshan/Slythan life.

Hate to break it to you but the Gruen didn't create cults specializing in eating humans. Gruen ate some humans just like they eat every other race, including themselves. It was humans who created Gruen worshiping cults after the Gruen started eating them because the humans were either in awe of their power or craved it for themselves. If I recall correctly, they seemed to have gained the notion that by worshiping Gruen, they might become more like the Gruen. They also seemed to hope that I would make them stronger like the Gruen or remove their hunger. I partially granted their desire to become more like the Gruen by making Spores edible but I never had any intention of aiding in the latter wish as it goes against my sphere. The Gruen took advantage of the humans' desire to become more like them and used it as an easy source of food, which is where I believe you are getting that particular misconception from.

A treaty is presented to Grauel and the Gruen governments. Most points can be discussed and/or altered.

In exchange for peace, the Gruen governments must adhere to the following:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1. Children are absolutely off-limits everywhere. They cannot be killed, eaten, or mutated at all, anywhere, even with their parents' consent. This requirement cannot be discussed or altered.
2. Those wishing to eat Gruen spores may do so anywhere, including inside Human lands.
3. Those wishing to be killed or eaten may only do so when in Gruen lands. At the very least they cannot do it in Human lands.
4. Humans must be informed that worshipping Gruen - a mortal race - does not result in any inherent benefits.
5. Humans must be informed that being killed and/or eaten does not result in any inherent benefits.
6. Any cults that operate within Human lands whose objectives rely on the deaths of Humans will be eradicated. This applies to all cults, and not just Gruen cults. This requirement cannot be discussed or discussed.
7. In exchange for accepting this treaty, a gift of an as of yet undetermined amount of Saeva will be granted as a gift. They're basically non-sentient humans, so they'd probably taste the same.

"Exactly. Why would I want that? My sphere, changed into form of game? Death is already practically meaningless, simply sending them to the next world, this would make combat a joke between nations. Why would they follow my sphere fully if it meant nothing? Aside from that, you neglect to think of what would happen if something came that was not attracted to your little game, such as the Null.

Yaos: Lette heals everyone who was hurt in the unexpected flour-air explosion. One person who was particularly close has a rather difficult-to-heal torn lung, but everyone can get back to living their mundane lives.

The scientists work on a faster-burning incendiary grenade. It seems that most of them would rather be completing a contest for a new road design, but they manage to shorten the amount of time required to burn at the expense of a minor increase in blast radius and a small decrease in damage.

Malik does not have enough power to stop a river from flooding without a high chance of burning out.

Large Gruen empire: "As we said before, we have no interest in enforcing a restrictive policy. We have even less interest in wasting our manpower keeping the already-discontent rebels from razing your towns in protest."
Small Gruen empire: "The human-eating population is low enough as it is. You only stir up trouble by imposing restrictions despite the continued dominance of the plant-eating and earth-eating Gruen. Are you trying to cause rioting Gruen to eat humans to prove a point, upstart god?"
Small Gruen kingdom: "The humans already know from common sense that being consumed does not make one stronger. Your terms help only the least intelligent of the humans. We additionally argue that the Gruen cults actually do empower their human members to go beyond their limits."
Small Gruen city-state: "Perhaps I would be more willing to listen if you could offer two cities."
Large Gruen empire: "We'll consider negotiating with you only if you submit a polite apology to all the Gruen states for terrorizing your close neighbors."

(Proposal added, Grauel: Vote counted)
Grauel: This iteration of the feast has brought a dozen priests and a much larger bowl. The priests place the bowl before the *Throne of Hunger and watch in silence. The people of the town watch outside a fence erected to preserve the holy site.

"DEATH BATTLE Plane. Battles can be fought without (permanent) death, land and buildings will remain unscathed, and most importantly: no civilian deaths."

The name is kind of ironic considering the lack of actual death isn't it? Although, I find the potential results of individuals being killed in horrible, gruesome ways and being sent back to life with full memories of what happened quite interesting. If that doesn't give them serious anxiety issues for the rest of life, I can't imagine what will.

Grauel: This iteration of the feast has brought a dozen priests and a much larger bowl. The priests place the bowl before the *Throne of Hunger and watch in silence. The people of the town watch outside a fence erected to preserve the holy site.

Grauel sets down upon the throne and eats the feast. Upon completing his meal he waits patiently, eyeing those around, to see if any requests would be made by those present.

Azem: The Festive Underqueen has announced a great, international banquet and trade show filled with exotic foods! Dwarves from all settlements, many Mountwyrms, a few Gem Dragons, a crowd of Gruen, and even some Night Elves have arrived to join. This event brings much gold to her queendom.

You make a random treasure ship sapient. This amuses the traders greatly, and they decide to make it a paid exhibit during the time spent at port.

Grauel: Only one priest dares to approach you and says "I want to be given the Ultimate Hunger."
The Lords of Hunger murmur suspiciously.

Yaos: The GM smiles menacingly, exposing his sharp, pointed teeth, and whispers "Do not meddle in the affairs of GMs, for rocks may fall, and your character will die." This susurration sends a chill down all the gods' spines (regardless of whether their primary form requires or has a spine).

Nothing is so minor it is not worth examining for it's Goodness.

I must ask, though, why the god of Humans goes to war with that of Hunger, if the humans are making their own, informed decision to be consumed? Their souls are not harmed by the process, and while I would object to the practice if the humans were not themselves volunteering for the process, I can see little reason to restrict the free will of the Gruen if they are behaving in a manner not unduly harmful to others.

I believe I will make my own proposal, however new I might be.

A...karmic balance, if you will. One meant to encourage and foster both cooperation and freedom, to keep integrity and fair play active. Rewarding those who merit rewards and would receive none, while punishing to some degree those who would punish others unfairly, and cause harm. If you would allow me to elaborate to some degree the mechanics of the system, I would be grateful.

The behaviour which entails reward and that the system is meant to entice is that of selflessness. The aid of others. This is primarily focused on the intent of the individual, not simply the result,though the result is not important. Thus, true selflessness would be Good. That which already benefits oneself would result in a lesser reward, while that which is actively detrimental would thusly need to be balanced out, in the interest of fairness and justice.

Self-interest that does not harm others is reasonable and expected behaviour in all beings, thus it would be the standard, or neutral in this system.

Selfishness at the expense of others is behaviour which actively degrades society and is a detriment, in the long run, to all beings; if those who practice it are shown as successful, it will encourage others to engage in it, leading to a general decrease in the quality of life; one can harm many to benefit oneself, or benefit many at the cost of only oneself. For those of you interested only in your own power, consider that an unhappy populace is rarely a devout populace.

Some wrongs, or they might be called sins, would include the breaking or betrayal of trust, the restriction of another's free will and choice, and causing harm to others. Unfortunately, sometimes these may come into conflict with one another, or be, in the end, necessary; restricting someone's choices who would otherwise choose to do the same to others, for example, is just and necessary. Reasonable individuals can, of course, understand when this is the case, and it would be unfair to punish someone for an action that is truly necessary,  unavoidable, or just. Again, intent is an important factor. For thia reason, and in the interest if fairness, I would like to propose a sub-council, or committee, of gods that might be in charge of such a system, of varying viewpoints and interests, that would hopefully be able to determine what is right, and what is wrong. As this was my proposal, and I feel that I am the best suited to mediate disagreements -and I may be proven wrong on that point-, I believe that it is only proper that I be the head of any such committee in it's dealings with the karmic system. All gods, would, of course, have at least some small say; that is only fair, after all, for it will affect all of our followers, and possibly all of us.

"I do not like this "karmatic" system, for what purpose does it serve? You have not defined good and evil beyond, nor the punishments or rewards, nearly enough for this to be effective. 'Selflessness' is not necessarily good, as the God of Greed could no doubt tell you, and 'selfishness' is not inherently bad. Yet your system seeks to punish those who look after themselves, for what? In the case you where not paying attention, unhappy populaces are typically more devout. I do not want my populace to be unhappy, but bringing that up seems foolish. People turn to the gods in times of need, not times of plenty. As for the sins, is this not limiting their free will, and thus a sin itself? Of course you could call it a 'nudge', depending on what the currently non-existing rewards and punishments are, but it is still an attempt to remove their free will away from them. For, what seems to be, selfish purpose. No doubt you would have to face punishment for this if you where mortal. And what, pray tell, is 'causing harm'? You are seeking to make a law with no defined punishment or reward, poorly defined actions that would bring them about, for a purpose that can only be guessed at.

In case it wasn't clear, I oppose."

The people thank their gods in times of plenty, and curse them in times of loss. As I have said, sometimes a sin is unfortunately necessary. Perhaps one day such a system would be redundant, but today is not that day. Again, self-interest is not evil; it is when it comes at the expense of others and could be avoided that it is wrong. Selflessness encourages cooperation and benefits many, while selfishness causes splintering and factions to form. Selfishness and self-interest are not the same. Self-interest can encourage cooperation, as the God of Greed could also likely tell you. Selfishness can only breed strife.

I did not fully define it because I thought it best to do so with the aid of all the gods. You may presume my actions to be selfish because they will as a consequence aid me in my goals, but my goals are themselves meant for the benefit of all, or at the least the many. Someday, I can hope that a God of Goodness will be unnecessary. Until then, I must work to bring it about, regardless of those who might oppose for the sake of their own benefit.

If you wish to assist in the delineation of the rewards and punishment for such a system, by all means make your proposal. But first, I must ask, on what ground would you believe selflessness, actions that benefit others, to be evil? I can think of few, primarily concerning if those people were being aided to do evil, or if the action helps some at the expense of others. Perhaps I am simply not creative enough, though.

"What do you base this on, young god? As a much-more experienced deity than yourself, I can inform you that this is simply not true from what we have already seen, the few people who have cursed the gods have only done so under the influence of another. 'Sin', as you have poorly defined it, may be necessary because we have no clue what it is. Under what you have already counted as 'sin', every one has been broken by the gods. At least one of them by yourself, so near your birth. Selflessness does not necessarily encourage cooperation, nor selfishness break it. Lets say a Selfless human and Gruen meat in an empty field. The human is so selfless that he lets himself be devoured by the gruen, helping him for one meal but not benefiting the world in any meaningful way. On the other side, selfishness has caused massive caravans to move through the planet, bringing cooperating of all the races for the soul purpose of profit. Aside from that, the definition of Greed is selfishness, and as you have already seen he has taken my side on this."

If every selfless action is rewarded, is it truly selfless, especially if you see the reward coming? "

As much as I detest rudeness, I'm afraid I may come off as such; you have my apologies in advance for it should I appear so. First of these possible statements is the fact that I must say, you are quite good at attacking the arguments I am not making, and ignoring what I have said. And again, self-interest is not evil. Selfishness is self-interest when it comes at the expense of others. But perhaps that is my fault for not defining selflessness, selfishness, and self-interest adequately. For that, I apologize. The definition of selflessness I am using here is that which entails acting for the benefit of others. In addition, I do not refer to stupidity or ignorance. Selflessness may entail, in your example, being eaten by a Gruen; perhaps the Gruen was starving, and would one day make a miraculous discovery that would benefit thousands. Or perhaps the human was ill-informed, and would have served both the Gruen, themselves, and many others more by helping the Gruen to find food; then the human's family and friends are not emotionally distressed by the loss of the human.

Good is neither simple nor easy; few things both significant and worth doing are. Yes, sins have been committed by many; as I've said, even for the truly good, they are sometimes unavoidable. It is a sad fact, and the reason why such a system requires oversight.

It is not 'my own' ideas of goodness. I do not define Good; I am defined by it. I would ask that you not insult me by insinuating otherwise; I do not claim that you do not know what a Weapon is, nor would I tell the god of Balance what Balance entails. I ask that you have the decency to treat me with that same courtesy.

However, you bring up an excellent point, which I will address now, as I did say that intent was important. I have and had no intention of informing the mortals of such a system. Should they figure it out on their own, however, this is not necessarily bad. It is intended to encourage certain behaviour, after all. Those who do it out of interest in a reward will of course not be rewarded as greatly, as intent is taken into account as part of the system. But the beneficiary actions would still be present, and that would still help people.

And as I said, your reference to the actions of the God of Martial Arts is an example of a selfless action that helped another-the God of Martial Arts, presumably-at the expense of others -those who died or lost loved ones at the hand of that orc. To attempt to define what selflessness means is to me as if I tried to define what a sword is for you.

I see, Yaos...thank you for your input. Though I would disagree on some level with the 'should' of your statement, and believe there is merit to the system I've proposed, your points are perhaps the most reasonable ones yet made for opposing the system. It is heartening to see that not all are motivated purely by the desire for power.

Despite our collective status as powerful primordials, we each are in a way bound to the ideals of our spheres. You and others have both tried to impose aspects of your sphere on all of us collectively. I don't particularly resent this but it's silly to assume we are all opposing purely out of power lust. If you want to create such a system, then do so with your own followers and others may do so as well should they see results they like. However, why should the entire council be restricted to the ideals of your sphere any more than they should be restricted by the ideals of mine? Your only real defense for such an action seems to be a sense of moral superiority but what you fail to see is that we are not all of spheres relating to concepts even closely connected to morality. I am from the sphere of Hunger and that is where my primary interest and focus lies. Please try to be respectively of that and realize I have very little reason to subject myself unnecessarily to your sphere which has nothing to do with my own.

Perhaps you are right.

It was meant to encourage the mortals to act in certain ways, no more and no less. But I think both of you might be correct. Perhaps I must lead by example.

In such a case, I believe I have something I must do. Excuse me a moment.

I find the question itself to be of questionable value. What is meant by total free will? Any biological needs or psychological tendencies created by the god which formed them would cause certain behaviours to be more or less common in a race. Unless by this it is meant a total blank slate, which would cause it's own tendencies for behaviour, mostly in terms of imprinted or imitated behaviour from others. But unless the last option means something very different from what I think it does, I would choose A, despite or perhaps because of sphere.

Yaos has declared war on the Gruen states. A majority of the Gruen react with disconcerting apathy, most of them continuing their daily activities.

A Festive Underqueen has announced a massive banquet of many exotic foods. Many guests from many races attend, filling her royal coffers. The festival has also increased the demand for exotic folk Dwarven cuisine, and the output of solid beer biscuits has more than tripled.

One of the ships of the Mountwyrms' treasure fleet has been granted sapience by Azem. The merchants decide to charge for access to the ship.

The Lords of Hunger express their concerns with the priest's wish for the Ultimate Hunger: "Is it not dangerous to give one so inexperienced such a high reward?"

Darruth, god of Goodness, has awakened! Darruth has created the Seraphim, a race of magically gifted winged humanoids with some natural telepathic ability and a sense for morality and justice. It has also created a plane to be described later.

The Death Battle Plane (/*Fighter Plane), in which combatants may fight, die, and revive where they came from, has been created in the grand incorporeal dimension.

This update's dominant constellations are the Crown and Lady. The Slythan ice ring is very prominent.

Yaos asks Jeffrey for advice in dealing with Void cults.

"Woo hoo! Yeah! Now who wants to pit their angels against mine? Wanna finally settle our rivalry, Fusil? We can finally see whether the Angel-Emperor of Mankind can defeat Tykki, Angel of Arms! This is going to be so much FUN!"

I should've made myself clearer on Proposal 21.00.2. The other 15 means were supposed to have varying levels of hospitability between 'almost ideal' (like Keshan and Slytha) to 'Golems only'. Since it costs too much Essence to have it for 15 moons it should probably be only 5 moons that have these levels of hospitability.

Yaos creates the sword Zephemural and attunes it to Vaal so he can use its full potential immediately. She does all this while doing *smug face* at Fusil for creating more artifact weapons than him (the angels not-withstanding).

Spoiler: Zephemural (click to show/hide)

A black, indestructible short sword. Its soul is a modified human one. It can reject a user by becoming too heavy to wield properly and by refusing to cut anyone, save the person attempting to use it. It can accept a person as its user if it deems them worthy, at which point it becomes half as heavy as a regular sword, and it will not cut its user. Once it has selected a user, it will remain the user's sword until the user dies or else if the user discards or neglects the sword (puts it in an attic and leaves it there to collect cobwebs, for example).
As the user improves their body and as the user increases their skill and attunement to the sword, a black, indestructible armour of the same material as the sword itself will begin to grow on the user, starting from the sword-hand, and slowly covering the rest of the body, starting from the sword-arm. It normally takes decades until any being (including untuned archangels) gets good enough to cover their entire body. The face portion of the armour is mask-like and allows for sight, breathing, and legible speech. The user can will for more or less armour to grow (up to the currently attained maximum), and the user must do this in order to sheath or throw the sword, as the sword itself is attached to the armour.
The sword is non-magical in nature, as is the armour. Magic cannot be channelled out of the sword or the armour.

The three generic angels and Vaal are taken to the DEATH BATTLE Plane to fight. Its three angels vs one archangel with a sword.

Yaos: You create Zephemural and attune it to Vaal for immediate use and send him into battle with your three blank angels. The three blank angels are defeated after some time and return. They seem to be mildly annoyed.

You also do not recall any particularly interesting weapons in STF's possession, perhaps aside from the wicked blade Tykki used.

Grauel chuckles at the Priest.
The Lords of Hunger seem to think you are unworthy of the gift you desire. Being that they are my most prized followers alongside the Devourer, I would be remiss to ignore what they say. However, I appreciate your boldness is coming to ask for such a gift. If you truly wish for such power, I must see that you are worthy. Train yourself, grow in power and gain the approval of the Lords. Once you have accomplished that, I shall consider granting your request.

Grauel takes the power of belief from those followers of his present and gives the Priest an even stronger hunger than he currently possesses along with a far greater strength and stature.

Grauel also creates 6 more generic fighter/jumper angels.

Countless powerful monsters have erupted at the Underqueen's banquet, killing most of the attendees and reaching the surface. They proceed to kill most of the people in a Gruen town, two nearby human towns, and a Luminee town before slowing down. (Source: Intersection at I8's top right corner on the map).

Azem: You materialize in the opulent temple on Keshan. On display are two Pieces. There is much activity everywhere from all the visitors.

(This actually seems like a good chance to ask if town populations grow over time in a manner visible within the wargame)

Grauel checks to see if any of them ingested Gruen Spores during that particular rampage.

Isn't that adorable? I don't suppose this would be the fruits of supporting a proposal to make random monsters and encouraging the residents of the underground to dig too deep.

Serac:
The monsters are far too distributed to bubble safely. You manage to bubble only a few hundred of them. Nuparhi hunts the monsters, but there seems to be no end to them.

(The wargame is assumed to take place over several months at most, so there won't be significant population change.)

Grauel:
It seems that none of them have ingested Gruen spores.

(These aren't the proposal monsters. I'll go generate a few thousand beasts now and see which eight are the best-fitting ones.)

Seal the underqueen's city so that no more creatures can get out. At least then they will be a manageable number.

Separately, I will create a humanoid angel know as Angela. She will be able to telepathically communicate with Nuparhi and can teleport directly to him if needed. She will also be extremely skilled with song magic. Her main job will be reconditioning the cultists in my prison world.

((Wasn't me, guys.))

Vaal is sent to the location where the monsters are coming from so he can kill as many of them as possible. Luckily, he has full-body, indestructible armour.

Lette is sent to protect as many Humans as possible, as are the three generic angels. The Humanos Controlados are mobilised with their new grenades to aid them. Use of these grenades within the towns themselves is forbidden.

It was a never ending need to dig deeper you gave them... It might have just been delayed. In any case, I will check it out.
Send Nuparhi into the sealed city to try and find what caused these monsters. He has orders to teleport one of each type of beast into the prison dimension and to kill all other beasts on sight with energy draining bubbles.

(Serac: -5E)
Serac: You have sealed the surface gates of the dwarven fortress from which the monsters erupted nad has created Angela, an angel with excellent musical magic ability and contact with Nuparhi. You assign her with leading imprisoned cultists back to the way of the gods.

Grauel: The Lords and angels of Hunger have been sent to defend Gruen and Mountwyrm towns.

Azem: Alprozem finally wakes and smiles at your presence. "I have found a mate, Lord. We have one hatchling, whom she is raising in a safer area."

Yaos: You send Vaal to the site of the dwarven gate, where he proceeds to slaughter hundreds of the monsters with much effort. He does not detect anomalous amounts of eldritch energy. Lette is sent along with the blank angels and a detachment of Humanos Controlados. Fire seems not to affect them at all.

(Although the armor is practically indestructible, only nothing is completely indestructible.)

Serac: Nuparhi investigates the ruins of the sealed city. It is difficult to see exactly what released these creatures, as so many of the tunnels have collapsed. Would you like to refine Nuparhi's orders?

(I'll be sure to make the map able to draw out the progress of these critters. If not tonight, it should be available tomorrow. I'm not sure how it fits with the war minigame given that you're sending in your angels without buy orders, but the maps may at least make it easier to track the swarm. Also, the swarms weren't my idea, but you didn't hear me say that last part.)

Nuparhi should go hunting then.Keep the monsters from spreading as much as you can, and more importantly save as many lives as possible. If you use your energy drain bubbles, you can keep fighting for far longer then anyone else. Good luck.

And I will look at the ones I have trapped to try and see what they are doing here. Are they intelligent at all?

(Oh, interesting. I had the misunderstanding that we wouldn't actually have to pay for our angels in the war game since unlike individual units of mortal species, angels and other similar units are a large essence investment and few in number. Kind of thought the "buy orders" were essentially just like us giving orders to train and equip various mortals rather than the already essence paid and prepared angels/divine beings. Also, sprites? Save yourself the effort if you want, we're used to DF graphics; just use various keyboard characters or something equally simple :P. Unless others seriously disagree?)

"Yes, ages ago. I had spent a few tricks tracking down its location, poor Tykki searching all alone in the vast expanse of the sea. I had long ago upgraded her ability to sense eldrich energies, just for this mission. This was among my first actions, back when the world was young. She had, at last, discovered the temple, destroying it's guardian that Serac had put in place. She then dutifully filled the entire thing with high explosives, top to bottom. As they went off, we lost communications in mid sentence. I panicked, and decided to go down by crafting my own body in Tykki's design. Communications where reestablished before I could do so, but I had decided it would be best for me to go down and investigate myself. I carefully crafted my own body, and examined the disappointingly unexploded temple. It was scorched, as you can still see today, but not destroyed. In fact, it hard darkened the water around it. That is what had cut our communications off. We then entered the temple after arming ourselves, carefully exploring our way toward the middle, staying close so our communication would work correctly. We found a symbol in the center, seemingly important that made even me dizzy to look at. I pulled out a ceremonial dagger of Fusil and tried to desecrate it, failing to even scratch it. I had decided it would be unlikely that anything else I tried physically at this point would work, Tykki figured out that it is likely the temple can only be destroyed by one of the ones who made it. I decided right then to go to the library for books, the first time I had done so, to research ways to destroy it. Tykki brought the entire shelf, I made them all waterproof, and we went back down to examine the runes. I gained a lot of information, and had Tykki study lawmancy in an attempt to break the deal, but have had no success so far. It would have gone better, but I had kept getting distracted by other things. I kept going back to the books for research, but have not yet found a way to level it, no matter how many times I return."

"I had considered melting it to the core of the planet, but that would leave the temple around and probably still undamaged. Speaking of space, there was another anomaly in the atmosphere above the planet. A group of eldrich energies much like the temple, however Tykki was unable to find it do to the even more vast area of space. I was going to search and destroy it later, after the first temple had been taken care of. The hand of the weapon god itself could not dent the temple, more attempts would be a waste of time that could be spent actually stopping it. If Serac breaks the deal, it will likely break the temple."

Create a gigantic mountain with snow on top on an island in the oceans and make it immune to erosion.
Create a intricate spiral tower building with a big round hall in the middle. The materials used shall be redstone and obsidian.

"Listen Gods, I shall create a forum for us to dwell in, to discuss in a formerly manner, and to be reachable by daring mortals. I would love help from Artiisani and Khaziraad to beautify and construct the building. Furthermore, I would suggest that Darruth, Cim, Taol, and Kli come to me to discuss the formalities of the forum. Kujin and Fusil as well as Varee should build the defences and menaces of this tower, so it will not be an easy task for the mortals to travel to us. I hope you enjoy my proposal."

While this forum seems hardly neccesary, I will never refuse to aid in construction. It shall be done.

Reshape entire mountaintop into a frozen eight wall fortress with the spiral tower being in the middle. The tower itself shall be supported by eight smaller ice towers. Create a stairway leading from the base of the tower to the gates of the fort and a path of stone leadding from the gate to the forum. Create eighty-eight ice golems to guard the fortress and greet those that seek guidance from the gods. Within the middle of the hall within the spiral tower there will be a granite obelisk. Should a mortal touch the obelisk and speak a name of a god, his words will be heard by that god.

There is a booming message from Main'ytluzhrmnegiph'eeshynyzhr. "One of you is breaking a binding agreement made with N'emy our Prophet of Jelly Rolls now. Fix this or we will."

(Yaos: Proposal added; Cim: Votes counted)

Neron: "We shall do as you say, Great Neron. We shall dedicate a fraction of our people to priesthood as you describe."

(The Light: -4E)
The Light: You have created a rainbow encircling Keshan for a day. You have also formed a mountain many miles (and even more kilometers) high and protected it from erosion. There is a spiral tower of obsidian and a red stone with a great hall inside.

(Khaziraad: -2E)
Khaziraad: You reshape The Light's godmountain into an eight-walled fortress surrounding the spiral tower, to which you add eight ice towers as support. You also add a stairway from the gates to the base of the tower, a stone path leading from the gate to the forum, 88 ice golems to greet mortal visitors and guard the fortress, and a granite obelisk inside the hall, which mortals can touch to have their words heard by a god of their choice.

You also send your five angels to wall off the areas infested with monsters. This is difficult to define, as the surrounding towns are also infested with monsters.

Serac: Nuparhi has been wounded severely! Nuparhi has returned to the Plane of Oceans and Bubbles.

"MOST of those deaths. MOST. Some are still caused by the Beings themselves, and who knows how many of that MOST is ordered by the Beings? Moreover, just because it's not happening in your cities doesn't mean it's not happening elsewhere. At the very least it's passing through Human lands and it's doing a lot of damage. Maybe it's not passing through your followers because they're aligned to you? Or maybe it's because you're apparently on such good terms with the Void? In the case of the latter option it means that they are trying to conquer those who do not align with them, and that goes against Anath's Code.
Void worship also teaches to reject the gods and worship only the Void and Void Beings, so it is most definitely telling them not to worship us and thus breaking another part of Anath's Code.
They aren't even part of the Bubble so who knows? Maybe they're also breaking the universe and we don't even know it? That's possibly a third transgression against the Code.
Destroy the temple or maybe I'll send Vaal with the VDD through your lands, assuming my proposal doesn't pass."

Yaos goes down and eats some of the monsters that've been immobilised and wounded by his angels (assuming Grauel's experiment succeeds). The rest are double-tapped and sent to the Scientists for !!SCIENCE!!

Since the monsters are apparently immune to fire, the Scientists are told to make a grenade that does more explosive or perhaps even armour-piercing damage if they can do it. They will use the bodies gifted by Cim and the Yaosian angels as test dummies. (How big are these monsters exactly?)

"Alright, the fool who dealt with this fool better fess up. By my research, you are soon to have a Killer after you, as well as this guy. Together, that would be three Null.

Tick 33: Monsters!

Monsters have appeared from a Dwarven fortress on Keshan! The war has been postponed by a truce until a way of dealing with monsters can be found. It appears that some of the monsters, mindless as they are, have taken to drawing odd symbols in the blood of the slain from which more monsters appear. The source of these diverse monsters is unknown, but many speculate that the Void is linked to this sudden nightmare.

Spoiler: Monster symbolic map (click to show/hide)

(https://i.imgur.com/g6Sr7mC.gif)
Os are Golem walls

The null angels of Yaos have begun testing the latest weapons from the scientists. It appears that their effectiveness varies wildly according to the specific monster targeted. Some of the monsters seem to be composed of solid metal (and somehow manage to move) and are barely dented by some of the other tested weapons that work well on other monsters. Taken as an aggregate, the monsters seem not to have any particular weakness or strength (except fire).

The scientists have received some of the monsters Cim froze. Testing is difficult on something that can be literally described as unchanging, but they manage to produce more detailed pictures for their current listing of monster types. The dead samples provided by the angels are of little help, as most of the generally more effective methods would take far too long in battle.

Khaziraad's angels have begun constructing a wall around the plains surrounding the gates of the Dwarven fortress from which the monsters emerged.

Grauel has consumed a number of monsters. They do not seem to contain any special or exotic essence, but they would taste quite delicious with some fermented human spice. Yaos has also consumed a number of monsters. BLUH! Only someone Hungry would ever want these things. (Yaos: Double tapped?)

The Rani have created a priestly division to serve as healers, advisors, and guides to the people. A White Wing sect has recently emerged, but details of their beliefs are still unclear.

The Light created a rainbow to encircle Keshan for an entire day. This impossible miracle impresses many who are able to see it. The Light has also created a tower on a high mountain on an island protected against erosion. Khaziraad has expanded the location to an eight-walled ice fortress supporting the tower and placed 88 ice golems and added a granite stone mortals may use to communicate with the gods.

Serac has destroyed the Slythan Void temple. Theere is no significant change in the number of monsters appearing. Nuparhi has been healed back, and says that the attacker was a winged metal monster of a vaguely humanoid shape.

Alprozem: "Yes. What do you want to know about them?"

This update's constellations are the Shield and Gravestone. The Keshan aurora are very strong, and the Slythan ice ring has become very prominent.

It is obvious those new symbols have something to do with the temple's destruction not working, it is possible that you ordered them to create new symbols when those in the temple where destroyed.

Ritual magic of teleportation is probably what they are using. I sealed their entrance to the world, and so they found another way in.
Why would it be void whoknowswhat?

And the void could have refunded it, but then why would I do it? What would I stand to gain from creating an army of demons in a dwarven mountainhome?

Nurparhi was fighting, he would have no reason not to. Unless someone corrupted my angel, which I doubt. If I wanted a leader I would have sent Angela, she is much more suited to that role.

The problem is that our current blunt weapons don't do enough damage and the latter type of weapon doesn't exist. Fusil? That's your cue."

I do not like the looks of this...

Create an angel, named Cherubus Palatino, as the Angel of Spirit. Powers include the ability to imbue mortals to perform feats normally beyond their ken, the ability to see into the hearts of men and monsters, the ability to inspire and redeem people for Good, to speak to mortals in dreams and visions, to heal mortals magically, to fly, and to appear in an awe-inspiring form of Goodness, typically unique to the viewer.

Check in on the Seraphim, find out how things are going for them.

Try to inspire/speak to some mortals, and get the Palatino to do the same, to begin the missionary work. People are Good at heart, after all. It shouldn't be difficult to convince them to be followers of Goodness.

Look into the hearts and minds of the monsters, find out what the hell's goin' on there and see if I couldn't calm them down/convince them to help people instead of hurt.

The Light: You hear the following prayers:
Endangered Luminee: "Save us! The monsters are coming for us!"
Luminee Adventurer: "I request a great quest."
Luminee Playwright: "Can you describe the monsters in greater detail?"
Cactus man: "The vast water isn't very potable. Can you do something about it?"

Azem:
Alprozem"A few of the more dominant Void cults began regulating themselves a few decades ago. They make sure to disappear the more violent or dangerous cultists and now we pay them a little each year to help keep Void activity down."

(Serac: -2E)
Serac: You cause a permanent (magical) downpour over the lands where there are demons, which covers some of the towns slaughtered. This does not interfere with Khaziraad's angels' wall significantly.

Khaziraad: You dissect a random monster and discover nothing significant. It seems to be a mindless automaton incapable of anything but attacking and traveling to the next target of attacking.

Yaos: The scientists continue to produce drawings but have yet to find anything practical. Most of the methods used would take hours of continued attention or can only be done in a large workshop in which stored energy in springs, for instance, can be applied to drive a suitable weapon through, and anyone foolish enough to wait for a few hours would probably end up killed in seconds.

"RELEASE THE HUMANOS"

And so 1,000 15 metre tall giants and their 10 Controller Angels were unleashed upon the smaller monsters who probably only numbered in the low hundreds. Thankfully, dismembered limbs and dead Humanos burn up when they die so no blood to be used as summoning material! Wait, did I even design them with blood? I can't remember. They certainly don't have a heart....

• A great hairy slug. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it undulated rhythmically. Its amber hair is long and straight. Beware its noxious secretions! - Nightmares.
• A huge one-eyed starling. It has three long curving horns and it squirms and fidgets. Its teal feathers are downy. Beware its webs! - Water and suicide.

You and the Palatine Archanjel attempt to speak to some mortals. They are almost invariably convinced of their goodness, even though a few of the ones you contact are violent criminals.

The monsters are mindless.

Yaos: The Humanos and Controller Angels are unleashed upon the horde. It is too early to tell which side is winning, but the monsters seem to have little trouble climbing around the Humanos and maiming them.

The Duondio has finally died peacefully while resting one afternoon after a particularly stressful day.

(Heartless Humanos? Is that supposed to be a pun? ;))

You kill a few and send them to the Devourer's Citadel in an attempt to evolve the Gruen rapidly. The evolved Gruen seem to be fairly hardy and have incorporated much of the material of the carcasses as not only skin but also flesh. They seem rather less intelligent than control subjects given clay sculptures of the beasts.

Instruct/ask the Seraphim to work on spreading the word and converting people to the way of Goodness, and to begin work on cities(and/or the necessary infrastructure for cities) that can serve as sanctuary for those who are of Good. Also to help others, through constructing hospitals, orphanages, education centers/monasteries, etc., as well as developing methods to protect and avenge people from that which is evil(aka learn to fight). The monsters would be excellent practice once they start figuring things out. They can ask the followers of Fusil for help; hopefully he will, since it would spread his own sphere and also everyone wants to kill these monsters.

Oh yeah, and try to multiply and stay alive, but that's something you guys were doing anyway, right? Right.

Work on revealing true Goodness to mortals, and basically showing them all the evil that is outside of them(and a bit more subtly, the evil inside them too), and trying to persuade them that the best way to make a difference (and does not everyone want to feel they've made a difference, in the end?) is to work on being Good, and to work on helping others to be Good.

Try to inspire the people helping to fight the monsters to even greater feats of heroism and success(though not stupidity...).

Bless some of the more worthy of my converts as Palats, whom Palatino shall bless with powers that can find, ward off, and destroy evil, as well as powers that can boost them beyond their mortal means.

Find out if the Seraphim have an established church structure or anything yet. Structure is important, even if I don't really care whether it's about worshiping me so much as it is about doing Good and being Good and spreading Good. Good.

Khaziraad: You teleport a hall of warm war golems to fight the beasts. They seem to be surviving the fighting more effectively than most of the other gods' fighters.

Serac: Cactus man: "There isn't enough rain to quench us."

(Death rays: A miniaturized solar mirror weapon would be much, much less effective than a proper one. One of the limiting factors is mirror area, which decreases according to the square of the length dimensions.)

The Light: The Luminee frantically tunnel, but it seems that the utility of any tunnels in the short-term is restricted to cover and concealment from the monsters.

Endangered Luminee: "What's a flamAAAANONONOTMYLEGAAA*dead*"
Crurcul the Destroying Light: "O Fusil, Lord of Weapons! What may I do to earn a weapon from your heavenly forge?"
The Playwright is confused and distressed at the prospect of being beaten by braver/more foolhardy playwrights.
The cactus men begin constructing aqueducts to provide water even near the beach.

Yaos: The Humanos division has lost around 60 Humanos so far. The number of monsters slain is probably higher by half an order of magnitude, but there seems to be no end to them. The Emperor, Paladins, and mundane army begin marching southward to evacuate the at-risk cities.

Duondio: 3/M/Imperial capital, born from a family of professional beggars (I really need to change my random profession generator)

Jeffrey advises that you STOMP THEM OUT! Ambition is OK only when it's a mortal's ambition or a god's.

Crurcul the Destroying Light: "O Fusil, Lord of Weapons! What may I do to earn a weapon from your heavenly forge?"

"I will grant you a weapon of your choice, on the condition that you take care of it to the point that it forms a powerful weapon spirit. If you fail in this task by a certain time, the weapon will slay you itself. Only a powerful weapon spirit can stop this from happening. If you fail, another may attempt to use it on the same conditions."

(Darruth: -1E)
Darruth: You ask the Seraphim to spread the word and convert people to Goodness and begin planning for cities to house those who follow Goodness and also assist with various projects for the common benefit and to train them to fight. The more raunchy Seraphim assure you that they have definitely not forgotten to multiply. The effect of this is currently uncertain, owing to the extremely short time span (because time has slowed down not just because of the war but also because of the sudden influx of monsters).

You mark some of your more eager converts (for it is too early to tell their worthiness) as Palats for the Palatine Archanjel's blessing.

The Seraphim seem to have some manner of church structure, but it is extremely decentralized.

The Palatine Archanjel continues with evacuating people.

Azem: The Seven Shiny Ones have been deployed to fight the monsters and evacuate the people.

Grauel: The Devourer stands around, waiting for further orders.

Crurcul the Destroying Light: "Thank you, Fusil! I will be sure to produce many children for your weapon spirit."

"....Ill only guess what you mean by that. Oh well. As you have not chosen your weapon, Ill decide for you..."

I make a naginata, a pole arm. So many swords, poles get unfairly neglected. I use light wood, smooth with no signs of any grain or stain used. The blade is cut down to a single molecule, eternally sharp and glowing with a faint blue light. Finally, I place the promised curse on it. If he should mistreat his weapon, or not take care of it well enough to develop a powerful weapon spirit within  set time, the blade will turn inward on him, finishing his life. Unlike many of my weapons, it may be destroyed, so he must take care of it.

Grauel: The Lords of Hunger and a number of the hardier Gruen feast on demons at the almost-razed western Gruen town. While this would probably be harmful if done for the rest of their lives, a one-time feast should not have too much effect on their minds.

Fusil: Crurcul the Destroying Light: "We Luminee can produce hybrids with any race. Surely nothing would please the god of Weapons more than a race of pole-arm-Luminee hybrids?"

"When reincarnation happens every memory and facet of personality and identity that that being had is lost. Only their raw soul is left which is nigh indistinguishable from every other soul of its race. Everything you liked about those people is effectively dead forever, as are they. I'll take my leave now."

(You created a system that took a soul and stripped it down to the bare essentials, killing its personality and memories in the process, and recycling it like was some scrap piece of garbage. All I did was inform him of how the system worked. And yet I'm the unethical one.)

I'm skeptical. There wasn't any serious ommission because what Yaos said is untrue. Individual souls are not indistinguishable. Having made a creation that takes advantage of just such a part of the reincarnation system, Yaos should know as much. Memories may be lost after reincarnation but they are far from losing their uniqueness. Furthermore, the very fact that souls can go to an afterlife while retaining memories and personality puts strain on the argument Yaos made.

If souls were completely undifferentiated from one another after death, would your little reincarnating angel work Yaos? Again, I'm highly skeptical given what I see.

"First, I'll respond by saying that while souls do keep everything when they go to an afterlife, they then proceed to lose everything once they leave said afterlife and reincarnate, or if they don't go to an afterlife at all and just reincarnate. That's why I had to specify that souls that go to the Human Plane stay there forever."
"As for the Duondio (I have GOT to come up with a better name), it is NOT a standard reincarnation. Not at all. It doesn't use the reincarnation system in place for other souls - it uses custom reincarnation cycle built specifically for that soul and even then it only keeps some of its personality traits, namely the desire to do good, the drive to help people with its powers (explained here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144651.msg5775552;topicseen#msg5775552),) and a predisposition to worshipping me due to being part Yaosian angel.

Tick 33: Teamwork saves lives

(http://No map tonight)

Serac has initiated an eternal downpour over the region where the monster infestation is densest to wash away the blood they seemed to be using to summon more monsters.

Investigations of the creatures are ongoing, but the only interesting properties they seem to have are their mindlessness, high resistance to fire, and extreme ability overall. No particular weapon seems to be more effective on them as a whole.

Darruth has created the Archanjel Palatino, an angel with powerful support abilities, and attempted to inspire some mortals with the way of Goodness. Regrettably, it seems that the vast majority of mortals consider themselves sufficiently good.

Yaos has released a thousand Humanos Grandes and ten controller angels to assist in pushing back the monsters. While they perform quite well, their kill ratio is far below the expected requirement to survive the onslaught at all. Khaziraad has released a hall of warm war golems to fight the monsters. They survive for reasonably long times, but they kill fairly slowly. Dackstur has been sent to help defend villages around the site of monster spawning.

Lette and the Controlados have been sent to defend human settlements. The Seven Shiny Ones are fighting the monsters with meager success and evacuating people.

Grauel along with some of the braver, hardier Gruen have taken advantage of the seemingly endless food source to sate their hunger slightly. Testing has shown that consumption of the dead monsters produces a fairly easily anticipated boost to hardiness and a less easily anticipated decline in intelligence in Gruen.

Serac has locked in a gigantic ashen horse, a towering flamingo with external ribs, an enormous eyeless sheep, a great hairy slug, and a huge-eyed starling as the results of the megabeast-creation proposal. Possible additions to complete the list include the following:

• A towering, hairy theropod. It has thin wings of stretched skin and it has a regal bearing. Its heliotrope hair is short and even. Beware its poisonous sting! - Nature
• A gigantic, eyeless pheasant. It has two narrow tails and it emanates an aura of giving and kindness. Its pale chestnut feathers are patchy. - Sacrifice
• A gigantic, feathered crab. It has large mandibles and it has a bloated body. Its heliotrope feathers are fluffed-out. Beware its hunger for warm blood! - Jealousy
• An enormous mockingbird. It has a twisting, jointed trunk and it squirms and fidgets. Its lime feathers are long and sparse. Beware its poisonous vapors! - Depravity.

Angela has teleported away many survivors all over Keshan.

The Luminee have been granted tunneling knowledge. Unfortunately, it is useful only for hiding from the monsters, as it would take far too long to reach a dwarven fortress or a golem settlement even if the location were known. A Luminee Playwright weeps at the tragedy of a rival releasing a play on the current crisis first.

The Light has granted a quest to an adventurous Luminee, who has been renamed Crurcul the Destroying Light. He has received a special weapon from Fusil under the condition that he care for it enough to cause the birth and maturation of a weapon spirit. He has promised to produce many children for the weapon spirit for Fusil when that happens.

Darruth has sent the Seraphim out to spread Goodness, helped in providing training to assorted people, and marked the more eager followers as Palats for the purpose of receiving a blessing from the Archanjel.

Kujin has died of Essence loss. The cause and agent are still unknown.

Fusil has sent a caravan of Armu to deliver weapons and smiths to the Seraphim.

Yaos has sent the blank psymental angel to retrieve the Duondio from a family of beggars and creates a generic angel to fight the monsters. It is unknown whether the family's rejoicing at the removal of the toddler comes from the removal of a pest or the psymental angel's influence.

Kli has carefully examined the Bubble. There seems to be no trickery likely to cause the Bubble to collapse in the near present/future.

This update's constellations are the Dagger and Sword. The Slythan ice ring remains very prominent.

"With your permissions, I could organize your armies for maximum effectiveness."

Cim organizes all troops it is allowed to into optimal mixed unit formations to destroy the monsters with minimal casualties and boosts discipline to make the formations hold.

"We will need more than that to repel this attack, but let's stop their numbers from growing first."

Cim teleblocks the area to prevent further summoning. If any godly beings attempt teleportation or teleplotation, Cim flashes the block off for the moment necessary.

"We already have flame throwers and Greek fire fit for giants, with a little modification they should be able to use it quite efficiently on themselves, since the enemy is immune to fire. The Greek fire is meant to be able to burn even in water, the rain shouldn't effect it. Dousing your own troops in flames would probably be more effective than getting the little heat the monsters provide."

I don't intend to speak for them in this particular instance, seeing as how they came by invitation and not by orders. You may ask the present Gruen directly whether or not they would be willing to be organized by you. You should be aware though that they came to eat more than to fight. If you want them to agree to fight under your direction, you'd best concince them of how doing so would allow them more opportunity to eat.

Telialas is given to Lette.

Spoiler: Telialas (click to show/hide)

A white, indestructible, two-handed straight sword. Everything except the blade and the grip is removed. It has a modified human soul. It can reject a user by becoming too heavy to wield properly and by refusing to cut anyone, save the person attempting to use it. It can accept a person as its user if it deems them worthy, at which point it becomes half as heavy as a regular sword, and it will not cut its user. Once it has selected a user, it will remain the user's sword until the user dies or else if the user discards or neglects the sword (put it in an attic and leave it there to get cobwebs).
The user is able to fire energy in bursts, beams, and waves. This energy comes from the sword itself but can also come from the user. As the user improves their ability to channel energy, and as the user increases their skill and attunement to the sword, the user is able to fire more powerful bursts, beams, and waves. It, like most other weapons, can also be used to channel regular magic, but it does so with a noticeably bigger bonus than any mortal-made weapon.
Bursts do not need to be charged.
A beam needs to be charged but is three times as powerful as a burst and the projectile speed is instantaneous while a burst is not. When fired it sounds like a burst of gunfire.
A wave requires the same amount of time to charge as a beam. Its projectile speed is a bit slower than a blast but is five times as powerful.
The sword is magical in nature but even those without magic can use it since the user can just use the sword's magic/energy.

EDIT: (You forgot my proposal where only five of the moons become habitable, with a hospitability range of almost-Keshan/Slytha to Golems only.)

Yaos turns female.

"So can the other gods please vote on some of the proposals? It's like I'm the only one who makes sure to vote on everything, like a responsible god should. >:I"

EDIT2: The Psymental Angel is sent to Slytha to guage Yaosian worship levels among the races.

(We don't know. Some Underqueen was having a party when monsters started flooding out from the fortress' mines in the hundreds. One of the gods sealed the entrance so they don't come from there any more but they draw symbols in the blood of those they've killed to summon more monsters. Void levels on the monsters are nill so we suspect that a god did it, possibly Varee because the monster attack was rather random. It wasn't Yaos' fault because the Underqueen refused to take his/her advice to dig deeper and she doesn't make non-human beings.)

Cim: A number of the tougher, braver Gruen allow Cim to organize them, and they charge, devouring many monsters in their path. They still remain mostly out of the region of high monster density.

Yaos: Telialas has been given to Lette.
(Yaos: Proposal added: 21.00.3: 5 of each of the gas giants' moons should be made hospitable <3-4E>)

The psymental angel reports that Yaos worship on Slytha is more widespread but more moderate as well. There are fewer fanatics.

Cim has organized a number of units to optimize their effectiveness. This seems to help them in their battles.

Yaos has given Telialas to Lette and divine attunement to Malik. Regrettably, it seems that the limiting factor for stopping the periodic flooding is having a puny mortal soul. Perhaps a large sacrifice of sapients could be used to make this possible...

Neron has received the following prayers:
"Would that this world were covered in ice!"
"What sort of magic does ice help the most?"
"I wish the world weren't so hot. Then I'd be able to wander south comfortably."
"By the power of Neron Frost-Scale, I create a small area of perpetual cold!"

The Psymental Angel and some of the ninjas are tasked with finding the Keshan Gem of Power.

The ninjas should also try to recruit and train more members into the clan. Yaos and ninja-related gods (like Anath) worship only, of course.

The Scientists are told to create a weapon - no matter the size - that can take down a majority of monsters most of the time. If it's a piece of artillery that takes hours to set up, so be it. If it's a magical sword that requires incredibly expensive materials to make, go for it. Just so long as it doesn't require the deaths of Humans.

Darruth: Archanjel Palatino attempts to defend the gap and manages to slay many. After much fighting, the Archanjel retreats after being mauled by a particularly nasty demon.

Yaos: The psymental angel and a few ninjas ask where to begin looking, as none of them are interested in being slaughtered by the mindless monsters. While waiting for a response, they recruit a few humans, taking care to keep their numbers sufficiently low.

The scientists advise that you use a simple catapult, as almost nothing they can create will be able to fulfill the constraint of not requiring the deaths of humans unless deployed only for the number of "human" things you have.

(Khaziraad: -5E)
Khaziraad: The demon responsible for the break seems to have either been slain or is hidden in the massive crowd. You kill a bunch anyway and use their non-existent souls (and your rage) to strengthen the wall. You also empower the angels to work faster and build more sturdily.

The golem auxiliaries have been set on fire. It is difficult to keep them on fire in the permanent rain area, but they can still work fairly efficiently outside. They are noticeably faster at slaying monsters now.

(Dark white is a consequence of the 16-color system. I guess it could also be described as light gray.)

I'd send the Duondio (I really need a better name for it) but he's a three year old and he doesn't use Greek Fire, just regular fire.)

"Now that may be the thing I was saving it for. Surprise, I have an Archangel. Gentlemen, meet Vartija."

Cim sends in Vartija with instructions to only use the stasis field against the dragon, not STF, and to attempt disarming it with the Crook before using the Guard. Successful or not, Vartija should then move into basic combat. Subduing or capturing it into a position to interrogate is preferred, but secondary to stopping it from destroying our things.

"Got it, Sir."

The monstrosity roars out yellowish blue streamers. Vartija attempts to hold the dragon in stasis, but the massive dragon seems mostly unaffected.

There are no mortals near the monstrosity, which is located deep in space. It seems to be mindless.

May I suggest the collision between the planet and one of the gas giant moon? or maybe the gas giant itself? I say it is the perfect solution for the persky problems on the mortal world. It wouldnt take much essence either

"I have a plan. First off, I confess I have experimented a bit with the nature of the Void and learned much about it, even how to manipulate it some with my powers of Order. My plan requires proposal 33.00 to pass and a lot of Essence, which I'm not going to spend alone. Thus, I propose the following so the Essence cost is divided among us and so I can know how many actually want to pay it. It might also reveal some other things, which I cannot mention lest I ruin them."

Spoiler: Not canon just yet (click to show/hide)

Cim reminds the GM that the dragon's careless swinging of a sword around in microgravity leaves its movement unstable as the kinetic energy has nowhere to go. Cim redirects this energy to propel the dragon towards the edge of the Bubble. If successful, it teleports the monsters as per proposal 33.00 next to it and moves on to push them out of the Bubble, stabilizing the Void around them into a new, but ultimately unstable Bubble, which, when it pops, leaves the monstrosities at the mercy of the Void.

My test shot proved that it worked. I just need a bigger explosive with more essence behind it. Possibly have Tykki fire a second one, when his colors are down."

Alright... not to sound crazy... but if the Void can create really powerful monsters like this, why don't we trap this one and use massive amounts of essence from all of us to turn it into a council aligned weapon of sorts. We can then use it for defense next time something like this happens.

Since Yaos has no useful input in the matter she goes ahead and creates a weapon with the intention of having it reverse-engineered by her Scientists and mass-producing it for the Paladins. She then turns to Fusil and says, "Deal with it." 8)

Spoiler: Krieghilda War Hammer (click to show/hide)

The Krieghilda War Hammer - A two-handed war hammer. A small explosion of energy doubles the force of its hits. At the user's will, the hammer head can rotate so it points forward - looking like a spear with a hammer head instead of a spear head - at which point it will separate in two, leaving a gap in the middle. This gap allows the user to fire an energy blast as powerful as hitting someone with the hammer with explosion-assist.
The energy used in melee mode or in ranged mode is stored inside the weapon and can be recharged with magic or energy-channelling. The weapon holds enough energy for 10 explosion-assisted hits or 5 ranged attacks.
This war hammer is not unique and is simply a model of weapon.

That's an extra step and an extra council proposal. We'd have to spend essence destroying this, then essence creating a new similar creation that may not even be as powerful. Also, we all know how long, painful and unlikely the success is of passing council proposals :P. This is technically more risky but also probably cheaper and quicker overall.

"Six points of Essence. I appreciate that, Grauel, for I wouldn't spend that much myself. But now that the monsters are dealt with, I'd like to have a word."

Spoiler: Massive rant (click to show/hide)

"Fusil. You are a bossy, manipulative, hypocritical, narsistic bastard. And so am I, I admit, but that is beside my point. As the God of Weapons, you are possibly the most destructive of us, and are quite powerful. Properly harnessed, your sphere could change this world for the better, for all of us. Yet you wield it akin to a cudgel. Strike Team Fusil can do little beyond destroying things in their way. You act like you own this world and can do anything you want. That is true, and that is the problem. So much damage can be done with a single careless move. When your first reaction is to attempt destroying any perceived threat, trouble may arise."

"Let me tell every god what exactly happened in our conflict: we argued on my proposal for a code of conduct, particularly whether a god should be responsible for the actions of their creations. Fusil disagreed, saying that his power should be unconstrained. To demonstrate the problem, I moved a pebble on one of the worlds, leading to the founding of the Breaker Knights and much pain. Fusil deemed me responsible, even though I mentioned how hypocritical that is, and sent his angels to slaughter my innocents. To this, I set up a prison and captured Tykki to prevent further harm from being done, but due to GM error spacetime distortion Fusil got to know the exact details of the capture. With a one-sided story, he convinced the other gods to help release Tykki, and moved on to threaten one of my prophets. I took the prophet's place and we negotiated a truce, as it was obvious neither of us wanted a full-scale conflict. The almost-war was very pointless and petty."

"Fusil, you've also antagonized the Void. I do agree that we should keep them away, for this Bubble is ours, not theirs, but your methods for doing so are wrong. Destroying their servants with extreme prejudice wastes a lot of potential. We could learn to understand them, and use this understanding for either war or peace. Have you touched the Void? I have, and noted its danger, but also its mutability; with enough Essence, a new Bubble could be created or it could be safely traversed to anywhere, even other Bubbles. Have you seen the Nulls in their physical forms? I have seen eight, know the names of five and have talked with two of them. Despite their immense, eldritch forms and nigh-unpronounceable names, they are much like us in their morals, working for their own spheres as we do. We should seek further knowledge before lashing out in fear of the unknown."

"Fusil, you also seem to have the mindset of ”if it ain't broke, don't fix it.” ”Might makes Right,” while technically not a broken system, seeds too much conflict in its very nature. Anath's code of conduct is a start, but there is still work to be done to reach a stable system for the Council. You seem to generally oppose any proposal that endangers your perceived freedom, even if it would be there so you wouldn't have to do everything yourself in a disorganized way. Sacrifices and compromises also have to be made sometimes. What did I do when my proposal for graded free will was shot down? I shrugged it off and worked with what others could agree on. What did I do when my code of conduct was filibusted to death? I moved on to Anath's proposal.”

”You threaten other Gods if they don't agree with you or if you suspect them of having done something. Coercion, while sometimes effective, is almost always inferior to persuasion, for a persuaded ally won't defect even if they later gain power to trump yours. And let me tell you, with a bit of persuasion, anyone's power can surpass anyone's if they get the Council on their side."

”In short, you really need to change your attitude if you want to collaborate with me in the future. You are simply too volatile and chaotic to trust. This is not a declaration of war.”

"Friends, She turns to Joha and Azem, "Honored council members," She turns to most of the other gods, "Fusil." ;D She turns to Fusil. "I bring to the table a proposal of great importance. When Kujin created the Ikakus - the energy-bending dragons, She leans closer to Fusil, "Who fire energy," Even closer, "From their mouths," Even closer! "Without weapons," She stops leaning, " - he only created 450 of them. As some may know, at least 2,000 members of a species for a species to survive indefinitely. Any less and in a few centuries (for Humans at least) they will eventually die to....." After a pause she continues, "Inbreeding." Yaos lets that sink in for a moment.

"Now, to correct this little deficiency in numbers I propose that we propagate all proper species such as the Ikaku so that there are 2,500 members of that race who are not related to one another. We are making 2,500 instead of just 2,000 because some will innevitably die and an extra 500 is a good safety net. This proposal will apply to all proper species who don't have 2,500 members, not just the Ikakus. Surely there must be some races that we have forgotten, so a blanket proposal such as this one will cover them and no race will have to die of......." Wait for it, "Inbreeding. We can probably leave it up to the God Minion to find all the races that fall under this proposal." ;)

Fusil deemed me responsible, even though I mentioned how hypocritical that is, and sent his angels to slaughter my innocents.

"This is an out-right lie. I slaughtered the Breaker nights, as was necessary. You slaughtered not only my followers, but those of Yaos and those uninvolved with the conflict. And for what? To prove a misheard point? For those interested, my real point was 'as one god can control the followers of another, making the follower's actions a responsibility of the god is not logical.' Then he proves this, by getting unaligned humans to act for him. I act on "perceived" threats to defend my beloved followers. This is a dangerous place, with plenty of the threats being real. Such as void things corrupting them, other gods summoning hordes of demons or tainted knights to try slaughtering them."

Quote

To this, I set up a prison and captured Tykki to prevent further harm from being done, but due to GM error spacetime distortion Fusil got to know the exact details of the capture.

"Again, you are lying to the council. Tykki was in complete communication with me the entire time, though distorted she had warned me that she was captured by Cim. She asked for me to go to the council, stating that Cim cannot be fought on his own plane, which I did to save my Tykki. Since I could not harm Cim, and he had nothing I could capture in retaliation, I captured one of his followers. With one of his followers harmlessly tied up, I made it so he could not harm my Tykki in any way while the council was acting. Without this action, war would have been inevitable, as you would have felt yourself untouchable. By proving that if you harm me, you will also be harmed, I managed to get both Tykki and the prophet back to their correct locations unharmed."

"You...you have done WHAT? I have avoided the void with all my power. I have read the books, I know what they have done in other worlds and what they would do to ours if given half a chance. Despite your claims, I have done extensive research. I was, in fact, the first to do so. You, on the other hand, decided the best place to learn about demons was from the mouth of demons. This act is, quite frankly, unforgivable. The Void lies, the void manipulates. You can not trust a word that comes out of their tainted mouths. Do suicide cults mean nothing to you? Do summoning demons in the middle of crowded cities seem like a benign act? So easily, you have been blinded. Well, you know what I mean. Was it you who summoned the monsters?"

You can't imagine my disappointment when we where a half tick away from you being inactive. When I said I would kill you, it was not an empty threat as when I threaten the God of Man. It was a vow on the blood of my followers I failed to protect. But you are paranoid. I could not get in a good position. It would harm even more of my followers if I had continued the conflict. So I bided my time until the opportunity showed itself, until you where inactive, or spent a lot of essence. And now? Now you not only insult me and the followers you had slaughtered, but you also spent a massive amount of essence and admitted to dealing with the void in a way Serac never would. I may not get an opportunity like this again.

Yeah don't worry. I'm saving this thing for defensive uses. Especially with certain Void Beings getting brazen enough to make outright threats, it's probably a good idea to have as many defensive measures in place as possible.

Also what did the books say Void Beings did to other worlds? I'm a little extra worried with the recent revelation of a Jelly Roll Void Being who would technically be directly against my sphere... Even though jelly rolls are delicious and lovable, any being with absolute control over the enigmous jelly roll is a force to be feared and loathed.

"Who cares for that law? It has been utterly pointless.

Besides, that is not how I interpret it, thus not how it effects me. With such a poorly worded and loophole filled law, there is no reason for me to obey. Would it placate you to know that I will have Tykki land the finishing blow, on her own free will? Certainly, that is not me seeking out her death, but my loyal servant."

Fusil, still acting as though might makes right. It does not. The council made a rule that you would not seek the death of another god, and you are stating you will kill another god.
Therefore you are breaking the rule. I think most of the council agrees.

And about dead gods, I found a book in the library trying to find out how to kill the essence dragon.

Spoiler: Disposal of Godly Remains (click to show/hide)

I. Why dispose of godly remains?
The reader may ask why the remains of expired gods even need to be disposed of properly. The answer to this is that others will dispose of it if you fail to do so, and they will get the Essence instead of you! This is not fun, and the average god will, upon being given access to a slumbering god, drain the Essence and use it for various deeds likely to interfere with your plans. Sealing the god is not always possible or sufficient either, and thus, the sleeping must be removed and processed quickly, lest another should choose to exploit the lack of care and go on a self-empowering rampage. Sleeping gods must be ended without exception.

II. Disposing of godly remains properly
The easiest way to dispose of godly remains is simply to drain it. While this will probably make a few enemies, it quickly prevents anyone using them for other inappropriate things, besides which anyone reading this book probably has a nobler intent than all the other gods with regards to the remains and their Essence. More ethical gods, however, are likely not to want to do this because of the part in which they steal Essence from a helpless god. In this case, Bubbles with god-Councils can usually arrange to have the Council absorb the remaining Essence for future gods and projects. Failing that, working with other gods to move the remains outside the Bubble will quickly return the remains to their state from before formation from Voidstuff. A last resort is, of course, destroying the remains actively, but this tends not to be effective for most gods.

I'm confused. That book has absolutely nothing to do with killing the essence dragon. Besides which, no one gets to kill my new pet.

Also, did whoever killed the last god probably not already destroy the body from draining its essence or was the god killed and not drained?

And again, what did the book say the Void Beings did to other worlds? You can't just say something all dramatic and ominous like that without explaining more...

Fusil himself is rather low on essence, although he does know where two of the sleeping gods' essence is stored. If anyone is going to stop him, it's going to require a good deal of cooperation...
With that said, I support imprisoning Fusil.

I also support Yaos's proposal from over here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144651.msg5807440#msg5807440).

I don't hold any particular love of either Cim or Fusil but your collective timing may be a bit impractical considering a void being might arrive soon. Last I checked, both of them have up until now been fairly proactive about helping with possible dangerous situations, so I can't help wonder if this is the best time.

Also it seems more fair that the angels of both of them should be forcibly set to protect their temporarily imprisoned masters and only be able to do that rather than having them be completely imprisoned.

I support my previously made but unbolded proposal to have the angels of both gods restricted to defending them for the duration of their imprisonment; assuming they are inprisoned which I abstain from.

It seems most have very poor opinions of both of you. I'm not one to judge one way or another though. That goes beyond my sphere and personally I'd rather see you both settle this personally between one another than have the council get involved but it seems the decision has already been made by others.

Tick 35: Order and Weapons: Law and Conflict

The Light has inspired the creation of a school of light magic. This will help future generations greatly with their assorted troubles and make magic more accessible to the common person, likely helping to bring many together.

A sculptor and ice mage has created a magnificent permanent sculpture of Neron in a majestic pose.

Neron has created 20 Ice Titans to help secure the Northern Lands and protect it from Southern invaders in the event of war.

The two weird ones seem to have done something very embarrassing with a sack of jelly rolls, a book, some rats, a slightly magical wand, and some chalk. The Noodle Law seems to prevent the discovery of information more details than this.

Yaos v. Fusil

Yaos has accused Fusil of breaking ratified Council law, citing a recorded and broadcasted as direct evidence of this violation. Yaos proposes that Fusil be sealed away for 3 ticks for intent to kill another god in violation of section II of the Starter Code of Conduct. Yaos has petitioned that Fusil's vote be ignored. This petition has been denied, as it would restrict Fusil's right to act as his own defense.
In opposition to this proposal is Fusil. In support of this are Yaos, Serac, Azem, Joha, Kli, Khaziraad abstains from this proposal.

Serac has proposed that the members of the group Strike Team Fusil (defined as Tykki and Fusil's five first other angels) be sealed away as well.
In opposition to this are Fusil and Darruth. In support of this are Joha and Yaos (who supports it for Cim's case as well). Grauel and Khaziraad abstain from this decision.

Grauel proposes an amendment to Serac's proposal such that the angels are restricted to defending their creators during imprisonment and not completely sealed away.
In support of this are Grauel, Serac, Azem, Joha, and Khaziraad.

Azem proposes that either both Cim and Fusil be sealed away or neither of them are. In support of this are Azem, Yaos, and Darruth.

(I'm not a lawyer or a law major. Similarities to Anglosphere justice probably exist. I don't watch law-related shows or anything like that, but I have had to serve jury duty only to be removed after the second day.)

Oppose 34.04. I only meant that both Cim and Fusil should be imprisoned, not that they should either both be imprisoned or free. To be clear, I'm making a proposal to imprison Cim for 1 Tick for unauthorised dealings with Void Beings.

For example, if the proposal to have your angels guard you fails, you will not be set free."

No, Fusil, you will be stopped, and you will be shown your place; that of an equal, not a superior. Or perhaps less, if you continue to act in a fashion unbefitting to your station.

You argue that you are not trying to kill him while saying you are going to kill him? You are guilty, you admired it yourself here. Stop saying you are not.

And without laws and morals, there would be nothing stopping me from just throwing you out into the void right now.

If you insist on getting in my way too, god of 'Goodness', I will have to cut you down and seal you as with Yaos. Anyone in the way is only an obstacle that must be knocked aside.

On another note, what are we going to do with sleeping gods? I propose that gods who have gone inactive have their essence drained into a pool for use in council projects.
We could leave them at one essence if the thought of killing gods is abhorrent to you, but they are unlikely to ever awaken again...

I'd rather not kill them. Also leaving them with one essence would make it easier to kill them for whomever's going around doing that but I guess if they only had one essence, it would also take away the essence gain from killing them and maybe remove the motive.

Is it not just as easy to drain someone at full essence as it would be at one? It has not stopped them from dying so far anyways.

If you think you have the power to face six gods arrayed against you, you are sorely mistaken. If you kill me simply to show off your power, you will be destroyed, and I will be a martyr. Have you any idea what martyrdom is, and does, within my domain? The power it has? No, that was a foolish question, apologies. You obviously have no idea what Good is.

Laws exist for far more than obstruction; they serve as guidelines and ethics of behaviour that keep a society from falling apart. As you can clearly see, your attempt to defy them is indeed damaging the cooperation of the gods; the divine society.

For the moment, I will leave aside your obvious misunderstanding of the term 'racist'. You say no one has a motive besides Cim. But what does Cim have to gain by summoning Demons? You, on the other hand, have admitted to wishing to kill him for a great time now; and these incidents serve as your excuse, do they not? Hmmm...

Finally, besides the other god's Archangels, my own Archangel, and my own divine power, nothing is stopping Tykki.

I, at least, know that I am in fact in the right here. Not that it has given me any bonuses. I was under the impression he was taken down by a single powerful demon, and really it was your fault sending a non-combat angel to the front lines. Without backup. Anyway, Tykki has already beaten two of the Archangels and many of the things that have defeated the archangels. The Gods can't do much against us, without actively weakening themselves. "

"You broke this truce when you attacked Vartija. You're not worth your word, it seems."

"Did that sound like a heartfelt vow to you? It wasn't even a promise. I was merely stating that I did not want to fight you. Which is true, I would much rather just kill you and move on. I don't want my followers involved with this, save the strike team."

Quote

"Even a liar speaks with his own voice. The Null tell me what they want me to believe, but from that I learn what they want me to believe. The books told you what their writers wanted you to believe, so how is this any different? My experiments with the Void I did myself, without any help from any party. But no, I did not summon the monsters. In fact, that is also what all the Null say, so someone somewhere is lying, or there is a third party unaccounted for."

"Because the books have nothing to gain from lying. The others are long dead, likely. The Void, however, has everything to gain from getting you to believe the same way they do. The fact that you did these 'experiments' with the Void alone is more suspicious, not less. At the very least you should have someone watching to make sure you don't actually make deals with them. The Null say you didn't summon the monsters for them, so you must have. These are lying demons. Do all those suicide cults mean nothing to you? Do you think the books where lying about what happened to the others?"

Quote

"Now you defend yourself with the same argument I did, you hypocrite, except you're lying. Vartija cannot be harmed without aid from a God. You directly gave the order and joined the attack, unless it was some another, which I doubt. With the Breaker Knights, I never gave them a single order or any help."

"The interrogated Breaker Knights admit to getting their shield powers from you. I did help Tykki kill Vartija, which is perfectly legal. She could have done it on her own, after all she injured you perfectly fine. You armed them, you ordered them, and you killed my followers. Don't pretend like you didn't."

Quote

"Absolutely nothing? How about the Void? I have very much enough Essence to throw STF into the seething chaos of creation and destruction. Or how about the Council? Or even both. I have the tools to destroy you, but doing so would be in violation of the Council. If this goes on, I will end you the proper way."

"So you admit to dealing with the Void? You will soon join them, I am sure. I have faught the void before, and the council isn't about to get in my way. I will kill you, the council and the void be darned."

Quote

Bah. Your arguments rely upon wordplay in a single language, rather than actual facts or logic. You shall be locked away until we can decipher the truth of the matter, regardless.

Someone is going to kill them anyways, so the council might as well use the essence themselves instead of giving it to killers. And they are not going to return anyways, but this way they could be left with one essence.

"There's a complicated answer to that. At the moment I only want them bound to Cim's container as protection. Cim hasn't demonstrated any intent to directly harm another god whether by his own self or through his angels and he technically hasn't broken any Council Rules, for those reasons he gets a significantly less severe punishment than you.
I might've said that they should be sealed earlier (I might have. I honestly don't remember if I did), but if so then I only said it out of a moderate case of twitch paranoia and I now only want them bound to guard Cim."

Tick 35.4: Approaching a decision

Vartija, angel of Cim, has been slain by the concerted effort of STF. Vartija's equipment seems somewhat duller and less powerful now without any visual change. Tykki has made an attempt on Cim's life for 2E of damage.

Neron has created 300 Snow Golems to help the Ice Titans in their duties.

Little has visibly happened this tick. Most of the gods have been occupied with the trial of Yaos v. Fusil and have done fairly little.

"Interesting. In the Deities list it says that Artisanii is sealed away, as it should, but it doesn't mention the god of Honour, who was also supposedly sealed away by Fusil. Now, only Fusil would know the location of the god of Honour, so he could've killed him, stolen his Essence, and none of us would even know it. Care to explain that, Fusil? I'd like a response before I start accusing you of killing a god."

I'm sorry about punishing you but you did make some pretty hefty amounts of dealings with Void creatures without council permission. I hope we can remain on, at least, lukewarm terms after all this is done. I'd also like to commend you for not doing anything that might harm Fusil, thus obeying Council Rules to not seek the death of another god. I really wish you hadn't made those deals with the Void.

Yaos creates the Human constellation on Keshan: it is associated with Humans, Ambition, and Perfection
Yaos creates the Ikaku constellation on Slytha, in honour of his dead friend Kujin: It is associated with Chi/Energy, Fighting Spirit, and Friendship
Yaos creates the Pentagram constellation on Slytha: It is associated with Ritual Magic, Iron, and Milk
Yaos creates the Ring constellation on Keshan: It is associated with Marriage, Enchantment Magic, and Beauty

I grow tired of him twisting words like so much rope, and feel ill at ease with the notion of losing the god who is currently our most powerful ally in this endeavour.

Oppose 34.08(You are not above the law, Cim.)
Oppose 34.07
Support 34.11
Oppose 34.09
Propose sealing Strike Team Fusil once Fusil is sealed only if they continue to show aggressive behaviour towards Cim or other gods
Oppose 34.10(Needless cruelty.)

We must do this now, fellows. He is already striking out at us.

I will also propose a council gift donation of 6 Essence, one from each of us, to Yaos to prevent his death and continue receiving his input.

((Also stop metagaming and breaking the fourth wall, bro; not cool. At least that's what it looks like you're doing))

I propose we do more then just seal him away for three ticks. He is not going to stop attacking us. He must be put down like the beast he is. Him and all his angels.

While I have little enough power left me to take the fight to him, I will do my best to defend Yaos if you will deal with the Council-Breaker, comrades.

I doubt the control of an Angel will work, but if you truly think it possible, Cim, I will lend what aid I can to Revealing Goodness to them.

In any case, Fusil, I notice you are still adept at ignoring approximately half of what anyone says in argument to you, and instead choose to attack their character, authority, or simply use threats to obtain what you desire, your so-called perfect world. Let me ask you; if any other god was acting in this manner, assaulting another while calling them useless and claiming that guilt by association meant it was justified, how would you respond? If, say, it was Yaos attempting the destruction fo Azem, say?

Consider that, and look at your own actions, and for the sake of all that is Good and Just, stop and listen to yourself for a moment! You have become a madman tossing aside any consideration for peace or cooperation for the sake of, what? The death of a god simply because they disagreed with you? Because they claimed your incompetence or inappropriate behavior? Because they chose to consort with things you personally feel are demons? Weapons are logical things. Why is their God not?

Grant 1 Essence to Yaos to awaken him from dormancy, and prepare for the coming assault on us both.

Should you stoop to such measures, Fusil, I will have no choice but to Reveal Goodness to as many of your followers as possible. While normally, this sort of Revelation would not upset me so, for it does not harm on it's own, the current conflict between Goodness and your actions means it would cause such terrible discord within the ranks of your followers that mass loss of life would ensue.

Tick 36: Verdict

Yaos has been the target of an attack by Tykki and was sent into dormancy. Darruth has revived Yaos with 1E.

Cim has attempted to control the minds of Strike Team Fusil with the assistance of Serac. This mostly achieves halting their actions (which may or may not have been useful) on account of their resistance. The Council severs this control in preparation for the execution of 34.03.2, which demands that angels be prepared for the purpose of defending their creators.

A swarm of powerful projectiles strongly radiating Essence has struck Cim, dealing 12E of damage!

Fusil has been sealed for three ticks (i.e. released at the start of T39). STF has been sent to the meta-location of his incarceration to assist in defense. The prison is monitored passively by the Council to defend both those inside and those outside. Essence income is unavailable while sealed away.

(Eating mortals for Essence: Let's say 2 000 for 1E for non-immediately critical things)

(Darruth: -1E, Yaos: +1E)

A new Council rule has been added and will apply starting after the posting of this post. Proposals at [IMMINENT PASS] will pass immediately if 80% of the Support or Oppose votes are Support votes.

Little has visibly happened this tick. Most of the gods have been occupied with the trial of Yaos v. Fusil and have done fairly little.

This update's constellations are the Human and Phoenix. The Keshan aurora are very bright.

(The new constellations seem thematically weird, but oh well)

Ah, good...now that the imminent threat of Fusil killing Cim is gone, we can move on to deciding what is to be done with Fusil, and what to make both of Cim's information, and of his association with the Void.

We may need to extend Fusil's sentence to properly decide how to contain him if he refuses to listen to reason.

Create another 2000 Seraphim; 300 is too few for a species to propagate.
Send Palatino to observe what is happening on the Mortal plane, particularly with Fusil's followers, now that their god is locked away.

The council, I'll remind, is ALL of us. He is just way too dangerous and he'll probably come after some of us again if he gets out."

"I also propose that trials only last a maximum of 1 Tick. I said 2 Ticks before to give people more time to vote but seeing how everything turned out, how Fusil was using his time while he was still free to kill us, I say that 2 Ticks will give the accused god too much time to kill people."

What's the situation with the monsters?

The Emperor, Lette, and Vaal are sent to the DEATH BATTLE Plane. It'll be the Emperor vs Lette and Vaal.

"I would like to publicly thank Darruth for donating Essence to me while I was dormant. Without that I could have died while I was dormant. You saved my life. Thank you."

A Gem Dragon and an Ikaku are asked to go to the DEATH BATTLE Plane to see who would win in a fight.

Of course. However, I do not believe the death of Fusil would be a good idea, and thus oppose his execution. Instead, I would propose that the Council, with the Aid of Cim, myself, and Yaos, work on a binding geas that will prevent Fusil from pulling any stunts like this in the future. And I do not mean simply words saying what he can and cannot do, but in effect to bar him from doing them through a constant force, if need be.

However, I will propose that his sentence be lengthened to 6 ticks, during which time we can investigate this matter and show him the folly of his ways. If nothing else, it will allow us to build our strength up again in the case that he refuses to listen to reason.

I am sorry to say that I must oppose the shortening of trials. Trials are not only for rogue gods who wish to kill another, but also for those accused of committing lesser wrongs; it would be unfair to deny them the time to plead their case simply because we fear some might abuse it.

Create the Seraph constellation on Keshan, associated with the heavens, mercy, and truth.
Create the Candle constellation on Slytha, associated with heroism, light, and penance.
Create a system for periodic meteor showers on Keshan. Whilst active, associated with divine magic, change, and anger.
Create a system for periodic (very rare) eclipses on Slytha, associated with celestial magic(yes really), secrets, and greatness.

"In less than a single Tick, Fusil nearly managed to kill TWO gods. Not one - TWO. Imagine if had two full Ticks to do as he pleased? I say it's likely either Cim or I would've wound up dead.

IV. Halting rampaging reanimated godly remains

When godly remains are reanimated, they tend to go on mindless rampages with only marginal connections to their spheres. In these cases, we have found that the most effective strategy after tests on a rampaging god of Motion, a goddess of Change, and a god of Madness is simply to cast them out of the Bubble, where they will decompose in the Churn. While it is nearly impossible for a single god to shift another out of the Bubble, it is quite easy to do in collaboration with others. Our goddess of Hope predicts that it becomes effortless when five gods work together. Other methods of halting rampaging reanimated godly remains that we have discovered are feeding them with Essence until they dissipate (at great cost to oneself, but the god of Charity was always prone to such deeds) or simply attacking them. The goddess of Violence reports that while it was great fun to stop the rampage, it is very inefficient compared to collaborative shifting.

That seems...fair. I can support it, with that condition applied.

I do not argue for Fusil purely on moral grounds, nor do I have any great love for the deity. However, I believe he was badly misguided, and beyond the ramifications immediate to us...

What do you all think will happen to his angels and his followers when he dies? I have apprehensions about such a scenario, so numerous and powerful are they. If we remove them, the worlds economies will surely be shattered. If we leave them, who knows what damage they might do? For better or worse, he's left his mark, and we must keep this in mind...

"If we are to destroy Fusil, we must take precautions that his sphere's effects on the worlds will not be damaged. His death may cause great unrest."

Using mostly the innate magic of the Trees and only some of his own essence, Kli creates a great labyrinth beneath both of the Trees of Balance (using a certain amount of the caverns below) filled with many illusions and trials that serve to test the wisdom and willpower of any willing mortal. Each of the tests will teach any mortal about the importance and nature of Balance, adapting to the way the mortal thinks so anyone would be able to understand it. He enchants it in such a way that only one may enter at a time, that even the most coldhearted and foolish of mortals who enter will be able to be swayed by the cause of Balance, and that any basic supplies needed will immediately appear to whoever needs it. With an entrance opening at the base of each Tree, he engraves a sign above the doorway with a proclamation:

"So says the God of Balance:
Any mortals with bright minds, full hearts, and iron will should test their skill in this Labyrinth. These tests do not discriminate from any walks of life.
Those who dare may not be able to reach the greatest reward, yet they will definitely not leave unchanged. A lesson will be learned at every corner, even to the most unchanging heart.
The gift you may seek requires many Sacrifices to achieve, but do not fear, no danger can be found within."

There is no evidence that races other than humans will die of inbreeding with less than 2000 individuals. It would be far simpler to simply introduce additional genetic diversity if they seemd to be at risk for it. Many species live for a much longer time than humans, and breed inversely as often. Many might lack the genetic diseases that would cause inbreeding to become so harsh. Besides, if the creator god is gone we would be hard-pressed to recreate the species exactly enough for the two to have fertile offspring. I will abstain from voting in that, I believe.

Darruth: You propagate the Seraphim to 2 000.

Palatino observes that Fusil's races do not seem to be too perturbed by his disappearance and continue with their business.

Azem: The Shiny Ones observe that there is much rioting and general uprest in most of the races' larger settlements.

(Yaos: Vote counted, proposal added)
Yaos and Darruth: At least one god opposes your (pl.) skyfeatures. They have entered a murky state of half-existence.

Yaos: The Emperor, Lette, and Vaal battle. Lette and Vaal win.

The gem dragon asks for a payment of 20kg/44lb of gold in advance for its services as an entertainer.

There is much celebration mixed with the rioting on Keshan.

The three generic angels look around for monsters to kill. It is getting increasingly difficult.

10 paladins fight a generic angel. The generic angel gets bored after pretending that there is any challenge and wins. The paladins are irritated.

10 paladins fight a generic angel. The generic angel gets bored after pretending that there is any challenge and wins. The paladins are irritated.

Wow! 10 combat-enhanced, unaging (and thus extremely experienced) soldiers in heavy armour armed with Fusil-made flamethrowers against a single angel and they got curb-stomped? Very unexpected. See how well 10 Paladins do against a Controller Angel (decreased combat ability and aging) and pit one generic angel against 50 Paladins. The angels are told not to be such dicks if they beat their sparring partners. It's disrespectful.

So what organisation did the Psymental Angel give the Duondio to? Ninjas? Paladins? Inquisitors? Other? How old is he and how has his training been going? What's his name? (So I can stop calling him the 'Duondio'. I really don't like that name.)

The Psymental Angel attempts to ascertain what all the riots in Keshan are about, in Human cities, specifically. How can I throw Azem a festival when there's riots going on?

The two spare generic angels continue guarding Yao-.........

(Kli: That was in chronological order, and you are essentially observing multiple points in time at once because of the one-challenger-at-a-time thing.)
The Hummingbird Philosopher enters and seems to think for a moment before continuing inward.
The Lost Wood Elf walks in, looks around, lays out a bed of special cotton, and sleeps.
The Luminee Pilgrim strides into the labyrinth and prays for guidance.
The Hummingbird Monk flutters in and observes the footsteps before continuing.

What do they see?

Yaos:
Quartz Dragon: "Deal, I guess."

The dragons fight. Most of the Ikakus' energy blasts are reflected or transmit through the quartz dragon, forcing both to fight claw-to-claw. Both of them withdraw out of exhaustion.  :P

The 10 paladins, annoyed at having been beaten before, slaughter the controller angel. The controller angel is now annoyed, but the 10 paladins are pleased.

A generic angel fights 50 paladins. The 50 paladins win.

(I'm not exactly doing these death battles with much thought by necessity, so don't expect the results to hold up in more serious situations.)

The Duondio seems to be in the care of the Inquisition. I'm not sure how much time has passed, but let's just say he's now 7 or 9 or so.

The riots on Keshan seem to be about bored adolescents wanting something to do, outrage over random murders, the poor wanting food, scandals involving the local governors, and more contrived things.

Jeffrey appears. "Hiding, Yaos. I'm not as strong as even your weakest angels." He looks around for a second at what he imagines are frowning angels.

"Not that there are any of those here."

Azem:
You appear at a Mountwyrm capital, where many are rioting for assorted reasons with a greater focus on shinies. The rioting pauses for a second and continues again.

Serac:
You wait for a while, but there is nothing.

The Philosopher sees an a scroll of parchment, with a pen and a bottle of ink. If he tries to write on the paper using it, the parchment will absorb the ink, leaving it as empty as before.
Several vines grow over the Elf while s(he) sleeps. When s(he) awakes, it'll take him/her some effort to break free.
The Pilgrim sees an altar to whichever god s(he) believes in, as well as a small, crumbling hole with a glowing pick laying nearby.
The Monk comes to a part of the cavern filled with darkness. Ominous whispering voices surround him/her.

Varee and Azem:
The Mountwyrms are mostly looting the merchants and toppling anything not nailed down. Azem produces many shinies, which distracts the crowd. The riot is starting to die down mostly from lack of interest.

Azem:
The Shiny Ones decide to practice dance-based combat on a bet from a random mage in a thick cloak visiting for a day.

Serac: There seem to be no significant riots on the islands.

Kli:
The philosopher begins attempting to write a report only to find the words disappearing. He continues deeper into the labyrinth, unamused but unafraid.
The Elf wakes up and struggles to get the specially grown bedroll out before getting out. The Elf finds a Hummingbird, asks for directions to the nearest Wood Elf settlement, and leaves.
The Pilgrim picks up the pick and turns it around several times before placing it back. The Pilgrim kneels at the altar and asks that you show the way.
THe Monk puts on her blindfold and continues. While the voices unsettle her, she trusts that the danger is not real.

Yaos:
Jeffrey: "I'll try, but I can't guarantee it."

(Hmm. I'll have to remember about the energy not being just light energy for next time.)

You send the Emperor back to manage the Empire. He is absolutely furious at the incompetence of his temporary replacement and exiles him. He sends Inquisitors and town guards and some of the army to stop the rioting immediately.

The psymental angel has detected five Void-related Inquisitors so far.

Ignatius has been sent to a great elementalist for training. Ignatius seems to tend toward wanting to live a peaceful life in the countryside again but trains mostly out of obedience.

When the Duondio reincarnates next time, a replacement soul will be made that'll be roughly the same, but it'll also have an instinctual desire to help people with its powers. And by 'help people with its powers' I mean the whole fighting off monsters and saving villages and stuff - NOT just warming up fires for other people.

The Philosopher comes across a giant coin of gold, and a giant coin of silver. The pen glows and writes on the parchment: "Write down why these two coins, while still very shiny, may be of different worth to many mortals."
The Pilgrim sees Kli's symbol appear above the altar, and hears a gentle voice: "The smallest gifts can sometimes hide the greatest worth. Your pick aches to complete the task it had been given before..."
The Monk finds many obstacles blocking her path through the darkness. As she continues onwards, the voices grow loud enough for her to hear distinct words. "What....is....fear?"

Tick 36.5: Spooky Happenings

Much rioting has occurred and faded.

Cim has reported a very nearly successful assassination attempt by what appears to be a jelly roll, and the Void Things have apparently claimed no responsibility. Serac has investigated the site of the attempt with protection and guards and seems not to have found anyone or anything.

The monsters appear only rarely now.

A Luminee kingdom on Slytha has been conquered by a human empire. The victorious young emperor has taken the Luminee princess to be his queen despite her protests. He notices a drastic increase in assassination attempts.

Darruth has propagated the Seraphim for the purpose of increasing genetic diversity manually. A proposal to propagate races to 2 500 population has passed.

Kli has created a labyrinthine complex beneath the Trees designed to challenge visitors and train them in the ways of Balance. A Hummingbird philosopher, a lost Wood Elf, a Luminee pilgrim, and a Hummingbird monk have entered, probably separated by a week or two between exits and next-entrances.

• The philosopher writes that they exemplify certain virtues that differ between races, and that a greater emphasis on one will most likely result in greater value for it.
• The pilgrim takes the pick and swings at the hole a few times.
• The monk asks "What is fear?"

This update's constellations are the Lance and Ship.

Administrative:
An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Council-produced creations are not to be tampered with without council approval. Failure to comply will result in the automated initiation of a trial.

03.01: Only deities supporting a proposal enter the Essence pool

04.03: Remove proposals stagnant for 3 ticks or double opposed to supported for 1 tick <0>

Proposals at [IMMINENT PASS] will pass immediately if 80% of the Support or Oppose votes are Support votes.

The wall collapses, showing a room with a mural of a Hummingbird in flight next to another passageway. Written on a plague below: "Dedication is the seed, but actions bear fruit."

Height: 1.9-2.4 metres
Build: They are slender, tall humanoids (thinner and narrower than humans of equivalent height). They have four arms.
Their skin is ebony black (and reflective). Their hair is and eyes are monochrome.
They are weaker than humans but much faster and nimbler (as in 5-7 times).
They are prone to peaceful, serene life and philosophy.
They are living in villages and nomadic tribes. Each community is quite anarchic, but chooses temporary leaders for current problems. They have philosophical schools dedicated to divine concepts and their analysis.

On Keshan, neither the humans nor the Gruen are looking forward to more conflict. The horrors of the monster invasion are still fresh in their minds, and many call for peace on both sides.

Kli:
The Philosopher writes "One is of a color resembling the feathers of the legendary Stormwing. We doubt it actually existed, but we rationalize our desire for gold this way."
The Pilgrim continues along the passage.
The Monk stops after seeing a vision of her dead parents. She rushes through the passage.

"Oh. Damn. Sorry. I thought I'd already mentioned why. I'm opposing the Seraph constellation because 'Heavens' is way too loosely defined. Does it refer to the sky? Space? One of the incorporeal planes? All of them? It's too broad. I'm also opposing the Keshan meteor shower because it may hurt people, or a god could hijack it and use it to hurt people. I don't know anything about who or why people are opposing your other two skyfeatures. I'll be willing to support those two if you support my constellations. Deal?

Ah. I could, perhaps, change the Meteor Showers to ensure they all burn up in orbit? I had thought to make them predictable, so that people could stay out of the way of where they fall, and by the time they reached the ground, the fragments left would be small enough as to pose no significant danger to anyone, as well as possibly containing unique metals or magical materials that we might guide to our followers without being...oblique about it.

When I say Heavens, I primarily meant the sky, especially the higher areas that serve more as concept than anything else, and our planes, particularly communication with or requests thereof. Heavens in the sense of augury and of navigation, as well as divine intervention.

But yes, I can support your constellations, I believe, though I thought they'd already passed.

They were going to burn up originally, it's just that not all of them would burn up entirely; small pieces might reach the ground. Or I could set it so they slowed to a speed near the ground that they would not hurt anyone. A god could do the exact same thing by spending essence in any case; it's simply a matter of how the individual is hurt.

I don't think it could actually do so, and I could set that as a limit in any case to prevent such a scenario.

Tick 37: Plants within plants within plants

Fusil's sentence has been extended by 3 ticks and will end at the start of T42.

Taol has created 2 000 Rakshas.

Neron has created 450 sapient stealthy ravens. An avian alliance may be forthcoming.

Darruth has directed the beginnings of a stable clergy base after sifting through many worshippers. This seems to be moderately successful.

Azem has visited the Gruen capital to sample Gruen cuisine. Among the dishes sampled were pies sprinkled with gold dust, special moss salads, extruded starchy paste with milk derivatives, and seasoned and roasted unidentified meat. It seems that some Gruen deliberately growing superfluous muscle tissue stand around many kitchens.

(Constellations: 1/3 for Yaos, 0/3 for Darruth)

This update's constellations are the Dragon and Phoenix.

Consider both the moral ramifications of and the potential effectiveness of spread Good through the use of fire-and-brimstone-esque preachers to show people their inner Evil, and allow them to recognize their folly and habits, so that they might be put on the path to recovering from them. Consult Palatino and check on/with the Seraphs about this, ask them what they think.
Consider the costs of creating a Prophet. Consider what a Prophet even is/does.

Give Nuparhi the ability to create stasis bubbles, hopefully with Cim's aid. I will provide all the essence.

Oh, did anyone know that for four essence we could turn that dead god Cim captured into another planet?

0. Introduction: A brief history of Void gardening
Void gardening is an activity with a rich history of enjoyment by prominent gods. It first began when the rampaging corpse of a god of Earth was halted by the quick thinking of a goddess of Stasis, who filled its mostly empty mind with thoughts of nothing. The next discussion at the Council was of what to do with the god's remains. A god of Space decided to tear apart the corpse and use the lingering Essence to create a solid body of rock and a compressed sphere of light gases. The result was, of course, an additional star and planet. Thus began the great tradition of Void gardening.

1. Preparing a space
Preparing a space may seem like a bit of daunting task, but it really need not be complicated. Any void far from other interfering stars should be sufficient fro the needs of most gods. In the worst case, in which a star is already present at a desirable location, you can simply focus the Essence of the Void Husk on producing a larger planet or an additional planet. Both of these are fairly efficient, so you should not worry about inefficiency losses. It is sometimes helpful to seed the space you choose with some dust with a few units of Essence so as to select for the more interesting life-forms capable of adapting to harsher conditions.

2. Pulverizing the Void Husk and spreading
Pulverizing the Void Husk can be done at the nominal cost of four units of Essence. Below four, the pulverization cannot be guaranteed to be complete enough to prevent interference effects on the future inhabitants of the planet. We once pulverized a Husk of a god of Fire with only three units and found, much to our discontent, that the planet was far hotter than predicted. Using four Essence, we pulverized a particularly outspoken god of Imoni (four-legged creatures many Bubble dwellers seem to think are not the most generic) and found no traces of his influence on the new world. Of course, this may be due to the fact that his sphere was excessively narrow in the first place.

Spreading the Husk is the next step in the process. It can be done simply by moving the pulverized Husk into a prepared space and triggering its reconstitution through the investment of a single unit of Essence. I find the steps involved in rapid formation of a stable system to be fascinating to watch.

3. Planeting
If you want good planets to form, you will have to perturb the system so that a ring of higher density material forms at a good distance from the star. This is a fairly important step, and neglecting it will almost certainly leave you with barren worlds uninhabitable to all but the specialized. After this, you should be left with at least one planet around at least one star. Following these guidelines should help you produce a reasonably habitable planet.

They were going to burn up originally, it's just that not all of them would burn up entirely; small pieces might reach the ground. Or I could set it so they slowed to a speed near the ground that they would not hurt anyone. A god could do the exact same thing by spending essence in any case; it's simply a matter of how the individual is hurt.

It can only write as much as I know, and it will not write of secret dealings. It will, effectively, have a small portion of my consciousness dedicated to it's maintenance. It was meant for me and mine in any case. I see no reason to hide the works of the divine from the mortal, save when it would unnecessarily worry them, or they would only become confused and upset by it's reading, rather than enlightened.

And, hmmm...I had not thought of a comet. I think I will do that instead.

Fine, 'The Gods' rather than 'The Heavens'. Are you satisfied?

Remember that the God Of Goodness has a far better claim on the name Paladin than a God of Ambition. Leaving aside adjectives to be added to either (Holy Paladin, anyone?).

(There's no objective definition of 'holy', actually. Something random might be holy to Varee - the god of Randomness, but unholy to Cim - the god of Order. Yaos will still sue you if you use the word 'Paladin' unless you give him something in return. Maybe help with a 2 Essence project?)

The Ritan have void cults, but they still worship me and do their regular stuff every day. The ones that cause problems are brought to my "prison" dimension until they are considered ready to return to society. They tend to avoid the more dangerous cult types after I warned them.

The Umbral-Liminal-Luminant distinctions
The Void Beings have divided themselves into three factions based on which Hadal-tier they favor. The Umbrals favor Shturrthafusnghepiisnsitlygh, the Liminals Mgaareecaalwahiisnshyzhrshui, and the Luminants S'agroh'ebih'ui. The Luminants are typically the most interested in Bubble-dwellers and are drawn to their creations. The Liminals are willing to work with Bubble-dwellers and often do but are not actively interested in them. The Umbrals are typically apathetic about Bubble-dwellers and see them as helping the other two factions further demonize Shturrthafusnghepiisnsitlygh, who escaped just before the Cyclization Period and whom most of the Beings are attempting to capture now.

The Creative-Destructive axis

The Static-Dynamic axis


The five castes
Void society, such as it is with its limited population, contains five distinct castes we have found to occur in roughly equal numbers. The highest caste consists of the Coronals, who have significant social standing almost regardless of their actions and their effects. They are often somewhat aloof and to date, only two, Bechu and Mgaareecaalwahiisnshyzhrshui, have made contact independently. The next caste is the Ocular caste, which is somewhat less detached than the Coronal caste but somewhat in better standing than the Capital caste. The Oculars typically do not worry much of their own status. The next caste, the Capital caste, is seen as a slight social bonus but not nearly as much as being a member of the Ocular or the vaunted Coronal caste. They tend to interact more frequently with the Corporal caste, which is one step below. The final caste is the Cuttleran caste, which most pretend to dislike and despise. This causes numerous tensions between the Cuttlerans and the higher castes.

The five tiers
The Void Beings can be further divided into five tiers, mostly based on age and caste. The highest (and lowest, for the Void Beings' cultural understanding of height) tier is Hadal, and only three examples of Hadal tiers exist. It consists of Beings of primordial age and Coronal caste. As the most powerful beings, they also happen to be the leaders of the Luminant, Liminal, and Umbral factions. The Umbral Hadal-tier seems to have disappeared after helping the other two Hadal-tiers lock the surviving Beings into an actively stabilized orbit. The next tier, Abyssal, also has only two examples at present, and there are no Luminant Abyssal-tier Beings. They serve primarily as emissaries to the Hadals and mediators for the lower tiers. Bathyal-tier is the next tier and somewhat underrepresented despite their numbers. They serve no particular function to the greater society but do advance their agendas. Finally, the lowest tiers, Mesal and Epial, are the most likely to make contact with Bubble dwellers. They are the ones most gods learn from and in general, they do not care much about the Alightment feuds.

The functions/classes of Beings
Our Luminant sources indicate that there are 16 possible classes and 36 possible spheres for Void Beings. The classes and their proposed features are, in alphabetical order, the following:

As can be noted, there are far more possible combinations of class and sphere than there exist Void Beings within contactable range. This hints at a larger society of Beings existing elsewhere whether now or at some point in the future past.


Fifth, you must always avoid Things of Honor. They seem to have a tendency toward being more untrustworthy than Things of Dishonor. No one knows why this is, but our Altros speculates that this is because honor to a Void Thing is vastly different than honor to us Clac.


From reading through multiple studies on Void cultists, it seems that the benefits are very much sphere-aligned. Records exist of followers of Ringaphluizhru gaining fire immunity, followers of Tukuko'iegh gaining extended lives, and followers of Y'yfhthyghuceetl becoming aware of imminent deaths. Not all of the abilities actually help those who gain them.

There seems not to be an opposite to the null. The null just is, it seems.

The void magic... Void is a lot like godly essence. And there are about fifty known void beings.
I have a book that gives some general information about each one, but I haven't bothered for the ones I haven't encountered.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Day 4: Absorbed part of the Void itself. Seems to be distinct from godly Essence or raw magic. Tlamneub says I will know they are the same eventually.

Day 7: My capacity increases further. I can create transient, flickering Bubbles in the Void itself but they soon burst from the constant Churn. I absorb more and increase my capacity further. I begin to realize that Void and godly Essence are almost interchangeable.

Fusil appears to have made the deal with the jelly roll being. That would explain why the hunter is not here yet, why he was so worried about the hunter and him being sealed for its appearance, why Cim got attacked by a jelly roll...and why his prison is guarded by exploding jelly rolls.

(Probably more than an hour, so I'll just request non-interference if not already involved.)

Lette has been subsumed into Vaal temporarily and begins to attack the members of STF not attacking each other.

Tykki has finally arrived! She has shot at a fused Vaal, savagely wounding him and severely damaging the enchantment on Teliural!

Fusil's remaining archangels blast at Angela, who is grazed by the speeding projectiles.

The Ikakus release a blast at the occupied and more stationary members of STF, stunning them!

Cim's angels are nowhere to be seen.

The Paladins maintain formation.

Nuparhi swings at one of Fusil's angels, stunning him!

A Harbinger of Doom has appeared, shielded and at a safe distance.

(Fusil can communicate for now, seeing as the focus is directed near Fusil's prison. What Fusil cannot do is participate in person.)

((A couple of things. One: Teliural is only to be used as a backup weapon, with its 'special option' only to be used when ordered to by Yaos himself. Two: Teliural needs to be summoned from nothing, and is not immediately present once the fusion is complete. Three: Teliural is the energy spear and can only be summoned when Lette is dominant. Four: When Vaal is dominant, he uses Zephemelas - a one-handed arming sword that does not cover its user in armour. Five: When Vaal is dominant, his skin becomes as hard as his (supposedly) indestructible armour so as to keep the same amount of defence while allowing him to use magic and energy blasts. Six: He is supposed to be three times faster than a standard fused angel, but Tykki would presumably be a very good shot so I can let that pass.))

"CIM! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOUR ANGELS!?"

Why are those angels still alive!? According to the simulations at least three of them should've been killed by Paladins by now!

The Paladins move in to engage with their melee weapons and their Breaker Shields.

The Ikakus charge up another volley, one that's focused on doing damage instead of stunning.

The angelic combatants belonging to Yaos continue to attack Tykki.

(Gah. I messed up Yaos' special swords again. I should really make a note somewhere prominent for these things with lots of detail.)

(Khaziraad: I need another collaborator to activate that action)

The Paladins advance, raising their Breaker Shields and melee weapons. The remaining active 2 angels of Fusil send a barrage of heavy fire. There are now 78 Paladins remaining, and they engage Fusil's angels.

The Ikakus attempt to charge another volley, focusing on making it more powerful.

The angels of Yaos continue attacking Tykki. The Jumper angel has been maimed and has jumped out. Angela has been gravely wounded. The Psymental angel has mostly been untouched. The last two basic angels of Fusil are frozen in stasis. Nuparhi drains Tykki with a powerful boost, and Tykki is visibly weakened.

Well fuck. The Jumper Angel, who has just been collecting weapons this whole time and HASN'T BEEN FIGHTING grabs Fusil's sealed form and jumps to the Death Battle Plane. The Emperor uses his Universal attunement to access Dimensional magic to help teleport the egg into Fusil's prison. Everyone else GTFO of there ASAP. The Dimensional mages that helped everyone get there (because how else would they get there?) are told (possibly by Jeffrey) to teleport everyone except the Jumper Angel and the Emperor out of there. If the Emperor can help with teleporting the egg from another plane of existence, he will also be teleported out.

Someone throws the metal egg onto Fusil's prison. Nothing seems to happen.

Angela and Nuparhi have returned to the ocean to rest.

A Uranium golem appears among Yaos' Paladins. Some nearby Paladins sit around the unseasonably warm, shiny golem.

"I am no Void creature. I quite despise the Void. Possibly even more than some of you"

The Jumper angel attempts to grab Fusil's sealed form. The Jumper angel has been arrested by the Council for attempted theft of Council property and freeing of prisoners.

The Emperor flickers and vanishes, revealing nothing in his wake. He does not respond.

The rest of Yaos' forces and the Ikaku are teleported back. Jeffrey and Yaos go to the Death Battle Plane.

Yaos and Jeffrey remain in the Human Plane. Lette and Vaal as Lette note that the Fusil has been killed. There are barely any remnants remaining. The prison and egg are still mostly intact. The Harbinger seems to be looking at Lette/Vaal, and the Uranium Golem is standing around.

37.00.a
"The Jumper Angel was merely trying to move Fusil to the Death Battle Plane where he would be safe from being killed in combat. Moreover, he wasn't going to release Fusil, he just wanted to move the prison he was in. He should be commended for his brave and meritorious pro-Council actions, not imprisoned or executed!"

37.01.a
"We broke no Council Law. None of us ever attacked Fusil during the combat. Our entire attention was on Strike Team Fusil, except for the Jumper Angel who tried to enforce Council Rules of not seeking the deaths of gods."

What kind of booty did the Jumper Angel bring to the Human Plane? He was supposed to pick up the weapons of Fusil's dead angels as they died and take them to the Human Plane. Because those were his orders from the beginning.

Abstain from 37.01. But remember, he was planning to kill half the council, if not more.

"He was!? I mean...er.....of course he was! Yes, that is a thing he was totally going to do!"

Well, it sure sounded like he wanted to... And he attempted to kill both you and Cim, did he not?

I know that Fusil did not die by my hand, but that I had a part in his death. For that I will take responsibility.

We thought the best way to prevent that was to make sure Strike Team Fusil wouldn't be able of carrying out those missions. We certainly didn't intend to kill him - NOT THAT WE DID - and we don't know what the hell that Harbinger is."

Well, we could absorb his essence for use in the council. I will just do that then?

Fusil was a dangerous madman. He attempted to kill several council members and had plans to kill more. Locking him up was only a temporary solution, because he was not going to stop attempting to kill Cim just because he got locked up temporarily.
The only way to protect the majority of the council was to have him removed. And that meant killing him. So I helped Yaos with his plan to kill Fusil.

And Yaos, you know the Harbringer well. You do remember her, don't you? Didn't her brother go missing?

Absorb the remainder of Fusil's essence for later use by the council.

Yaos tries to remember what he learned from Lyle.
The Essence belongs to the council. I am one member of the council. All for one and one for all dictates that I work for the council, and I get everything because 'all' = everything and 'one' equals me because I am one member of the council and one being. Council Essence falls under 'everything' and so, as one, I am entitled to all of the Essence. All for one.
Yaos attempts to legally take the Council Essence for himself.

Kli:
The Philosopher writes "One is of a color resembling the feathers of the legendary Stormwing. We doubt it actually existed, but we rationalize our desire for gold this way."
The Pilgrim continues along the passage.
The Monk stops after seeing a vision of her dead parents. She rushes through the passage.

The pen replies to the Philosopher: "I notice the word we. Do you yourself, to the deepest of chasm of your heart, desire gold and silver? Why, or why not?"
The Pilgrim comes across a massive chasm, with heavy winds preventing flight. A voice whispers: "The simplest of challenges breed the most ingenious of ideas. Please come across. Surprise me."
As the Monk reaches the end, the visions stop, and a warm feeling of comfort resonates through her body as Kli's voice rings in her mind: "What is fear truly for you, seeker? Honesty is my wish, for no answer from deep within is wrong."

The cultists that the Emperor wanted Essence to execute are told that they will not be executed so long as they turn over all Void materials and give the locations of Void mages. They are told the Void mages will not be harmed unless they attack first.

The Controller Angels will continue to hunt down any monsters they find.

Tol will work on cleaning the Inquisition of Void influence. He will use the VDD to help in this endeavour.

A factory begins production of the Lesser Void Detectors - LVDs - according to the specs created by the Scientists.

New Paladins are chosen to replace those that died while serving under Strike Team Yaos. The Psymental Angel will help to determine if the candidates are devoted and loyal enough to enter the order of Paladins.

The Keshan ninjas are tasked with finding bandit camps.

The Humanos Controlados and two regular angels will work on securing trade routes in preparation for Azem's Bazaar.

Once new Paladins are chosen, they will be trained by the current ones in the Death Battle Plane.

Yaos asks Jeffrey for advice.

Finally, after a very long time, Yaos listens to some prayers.

There, that should tie up all loose ends from previous events.

Tick 37.5: Termination

Fusil has been struck down through the combined efforts of Cim, Serac, and Yaos! His angels have been frozen and taken by Cim. Many angels have been severely wounded despite their typical near-invulnerability and enchanted equipment.

A Void study committee has been formed, but it has been limited to some information exchange so far.

A group of Rani builders have constructed a nice temple for Neron. A child has been healed by some priests of Neron.

Darruth has prototyped the Guardian Angels, and they have sought and found their initial Charges. Darruth has also written a book of divine knowledge based on information known to itself.

Azem has begun wandering the wilds and is currently heading for a human city. A group of bandits have appeared!

Kli's challengers continue their quest in three tenses:
Philosopher: "I no longer desire either. I seek the truth of Balance now."
The Luminee Pilgrim begins picking away at the ceiling.
The Monk: "Not being able to protect the ones I love."

Yaos: You do the listed actions. Jeffrey advises that you destroy all weapons to purge the memory of Fusil. Some prayers directed to you are as follows:
"Thank Yaos our team has won the tournament! Prepare a celebratory banquet!"
"The Emperor has not responded for days! What is happening? Where is he?"
"Bah! Curse that team! Strike them down!"
"When I grow up, Yaos will make me as big as a tree!"

(CIm: -1E, Yaos: +1E)

The bodies of the angels of Fusil have been given to the Council. Yaos has attempted to take them away without Council permission. This has triggered yet another automated trial.

Kli:
Philosopher: "Balance, I think, is reaching a happy moderation between extremes in all things."
Pilgrim: "I'll keep that in mind." The Pilgrim continues with bringing the roof down into the chasm.
Monk: "Do you not already know it?"

Azem:
Bandit leader: "The Bandits' Guild is appeased. Continue."

(Yaos: Did that actually happen? It's not clear given that you provided dialogue for the Egg, which none of us can actually identify and which has not actually spoken at all.)

The Rani are expanding somewhat slowly. They seem to be trying to go further north. The Snow Golems are making the ground near the permafrost line ready in case a wall is needed. Some of them are currently helping with construction for the Rani. The Shadow Ravens are being sneaky and have recently made contact with the Rani. They tend to be more stealthy outside the snow.

Since I thought I legally owned it, I just wanted to move the angels to my own plane so I can figure out what to do with them. I wasn't trying to steal anything, I just wanted to move what at the time I thought was mine. I still say that the angels - or at least some of them - should go with me.

"I would also like to say here that I'm the one who organised the attack on Fusil's angel, I'm the one who brought most of the firepower used against them, and I'm the one who lost the most in the attack, so I should definitely at keep at least part of the spoils."

"And when have I attempted to do either? As for the beggar family, I didn't control their minds I merely influenced them in the direction that they were already thinking, and it was technically my angel that did that. Besides, it was either that or let a toddler live its life in abject poverty. As for the stealing from the council, if you're talking about the Essence, I made it very clear that I was trying to do so legally. As for the angels, I thought that they belonged to Cim and that he gave them to me."

The Seppo are commissioned to make two different weapons: The Hilda War Hammer and the Nomis Spear.

Spoiler: Hilda War Hammer (click to show/hide)

The Hilda War Hammer - A one-handed war hammer. A small explosion of energy doubles the force of its hits when the user wills it.
The energy used can be recharged with magic or energy-channelling. The weapon holds enough energy for 7 explosion-assisted hits.
This war hammer is not unique and is simply a model of weapon.

Spoiler: Nomis Spear (click to show/hide)

The Nomis Spear - a spear that can be used in conjunction with a shield. Its large spearhead allows it to be decently effective against large enemies like monsters or dragons. At the user's will, the spearhead will separate in two (possibly not even touching the shaft any more, depending on if it'll be more difficult to make) and move slightly down the shaft. This allows for the weapon to fire an energy blast twice as damaging as a spear thrust from the spear.
The energy used in ranged mode is stored inside the weapon and can be recharged with magic or energy-channelling. The weapon holds enough energy for 4 ranged attacks.
This spear is not unique and is simply a model of weapon.

The Seppo are also asked to provide specifications on its construction that can allow Humans to reproduce the weapons.

The Ikaku are thanked for their help in the fight against Strike Team Fusil. The group who were present in the attack are asked what they would like for a reward. Some land? Shinies? Alliance? Other?

EDIT: A different (and better) Enchantment mage is asked to look over STF's weapons and the Strange Knife. The weapons will be guarded by Vaal.

Lette will go around exploding/death-punching/slaughtering bandits in Keshan, with strict orders to not cause any collateral damage or hurt any civilians - including the families of bandits. Azem's Bazaar shall not be hampered by insecure trade routes!

You went behind the council's back to launch an attack on a god and his followers and now you want to be rewarded for it by all of us? I don't particularly follow the logic. Not to say I don't understand why you want the angels, especially if you lost the most in the attack. However why would we care about your losses in a battle the council never approved of? I see absolutely no reason why any of us should particularly support you gaining control of the angels. I'm not technically opposed to you getting them. I mean, I certainly don't care to have them. I simply don't get why you believe any of us would feel like we owe it to you to let you have anything. It's no different than if you lost something in any other conflict that the council was uninvolved in. If this were to set any type of precedent, I could just as easily destroy most of your forces with my angels and then say I deserve part of the spoils because I invested the most in crushing you and your followers into the ground. I think you can see how that type of attitude towards the "spoils of war" in these situations could very quickly lead to... undesirable results.

Tick 38: Spoilers

Some Void cultists slated for execution in human lands have decided to reveal the locations of some Void mages. It seems that many of these alleged Void mages are really some of the more influential people. Tol continues purging the Inquisition of Void followers, and it seems that most of the remaining Inquisitors are at least responsible enough to continue on their own.

The number of monsters on Keshan has declined to insignificance.

Serac has absorbed the remainder of Fusil's Essence and donated it to the Council. Fusil's body has disappeared.

A guild of enchanters and a guild of artisans have opened a workshop for the production of Lesser Void Detectors. They are about as unreliable as their template but provide decent accuracy.

The Yaosian Paladins have been refilled with new members selected from the best. They are being trained by the remaining current Paladins.

The Keshan ninjas find a bandit camp and join an ongoing party. It seems that their goals and pursuits are mostly compatible, and they proceed to raid a few farms. Trade routes are slightly safer now, but it is difficult to patrol a vast area with only a few troops.

Rani civilization is developing quite well. Contact has been made with the Shadow Ravens.

Azem continues on his journey. They reach a small human village along the way.

Creating a huge explosion on the metal egg seems not to have damaged it at all.

The Seppo have sent a package of incomprehensible scribblings to the human imperial capital in response to being commissioned to create the Hilda War Hammer and the Nomis Spear. The Ikakus who participated in the attack request land and shinies near the human imperial capital.

An adept Enchantment mage notes that STF's weapons seem to be completely mundane. The Strange Knife seems to be both aligned extremely toward Humans and Ambition and extremely against Humans and Ambition, which disturbs the mage.

Lette has stalked a bandit, making sure to appear when least expected. She reasons that killing a bandit causes collateral damage to the bandit's family.

Tykki's body has inexplicably disintegrated. Cim has released control over the bodies of the angels of Fusil to the Council.

*sigh* She's been fusing with Vaal too often. Collateral damage is interpreted as physical damage - not emotional damage. Go to camps, kill the bandits, leave the bandits' families alone. Easy.

Propose that Proposal 21.00 is dissolved and the members who voted it into being are refunded.

Petition the GM to remove all of Fusil's votes because he's dead.

Petition the GM to have a 'Void' spoiler to document everything learned by the Void Investigation Committee.

A declaration is made that Humans shall be spelt with a capital 'H'. Writing their names with a lower-case 'h' is considered racist. They shall have the same naming conventions as literally every other sapient race. Yaos decrees it.

Again, I understand your point but I think you missed the part of mine that was most important. My apologies for the possible lack of clarity.

You attacked another god's followers without council permission and are now acting like you deserve the spoils of war after the fight because you invested the most in the fight. While your logic is sensible to a certain degree, I don't think you're considering the implications of the standard this will set. Essentially, if you get to gain off the fight you had with another god's followers, it might encourage other gods to engage in similar fights with other gods followers to gain similar benefits as you are trying to gain.

So if you get to gain from crushing Fusil's angels, someone else might try and gain by crushing your angels or any other god's for that matter. Sure, there might be no intention to kill the actual god but do you really want to consider what implications it could have if certain... power hungry gods started thinking they could gain from stomping other god's angels into the ground.

And no, I don't want to create any laws about not having angel wars... I'm just saying it's wise to consider the implications of your actions. If this is going to be a thing though, there's little stopping others from getting involved as well. Not that I'm actually opposed as I said earlier. I'm simply stating what I foresee as a possible result of this situation.

Azem: The people seem not to think of you as more than just one of the traders. Some of them do seem interested in your more strangely shaped shinies.

Yaos has proposed to undo Proposal 21.00 and refund the contributors. Yaos has petitioned for votes from Fusil to be erased on account of Fusil's death. This petition has been rendered obsolete by the absence of Fusil's votes in open proposals. Yaos has also petitioned for a Void spoiler to contain all information on the Void. This petition has been temporarily rejected (because the GodManager is about to have a bit of a busy week and cannot take the time to check for access to information). The Void research committee may, however, feel free to self-organize.

Human will additionally be capitalized in the future.

Yaos: The "mages" are indignant at this disturbance. They ask why you would even trust a scheming cultist's testimony.

The Controller Angels have taken to hunting the few monsters that appear for sport.

The Inquisitors report that the Void infiltration problem has mostly been resolved.

The ninjas refuse to give up their new comrades. They instead relocate many bandits into the deep wildreness, but this has the effect of reducing bandit activity along trade routes anyway.

Angela and Nuparhi give Jeffrey a dirty look and Jeffrey shrinks back. It seems they are trying to hatch the egg. The egg cannot seem to leave the Plane of Oceans and Bubbles.

A translator has been brought in to interpret the documentation given by the Seppo. The translator suggests that this may be written in a dialect known only to the Seppo high priests and very few others.

The Armu refuse to give a significant contributor to their creator's death any favors.

Lette has slaughtered many bandits remaining near the main roads. The Bandits' Guild demands compensation for their families, many of whom will starve.

The Emperor is calling for a private meeting with you about his absence.

Well, I already did. It is non-magical, and is warm dispute not having a pulse. And I don't have any void mages or null contacts, so I would rather not. Besides, what makes you think it is from the void?

I tried to get the council's help, but I was ignored. So when Yaos contacted me about attacking Fusil directly, I sent two angels to help.

I am of the same opinion as Azem and Grauel. You attacked Fuails angels when their god was incapable of even contacting the council. Was it meant to limit power of your oponent, gain spoils for yourself or prepeare for assassination matters not, as your goal was still nerfarious and you still messed up enough to render Fusil dead. Your arguments would be correct if used against your colaborators, but just as the judge cares not to give out prizes for good work during theft, so does the council sees your points moot.

(Odd, considering that they were let in to the clan partially for devotion to Yaos (similar to the Paladins). Oh well.)

"It was also the Council itself that resulted in the death of a god. If I had my way, Fusil would be alive in the Death Battle Plane right now. It wasn't simply a matter of me wanting Fusil to live, it was also me actively trying to make sure Fusil lived. I've also relinquished all claims to Fusil's stuff. With Tykki dead it's kind of moot now. It had nothing to do with wanting power, by the way, but I've been sworn to secrecy not to say........ Hey that rhymed!" ^_^

... No one deserves anything. You get what you can take or what others are willing to give you. The whole push for what you deserve is completely foreign to me. You don't deserve anything. There is really no particular reason to give you anything. That leaves you with taking something. And if you begin to take... and if it successful... then others will begin to want to take as well. That is my point.

Anyway. Again, I have no issue with this. I mean, you're practically noise-diving into Azem and my spheres right now. It's certainly entertaining for me.

If a terorist arms a bomb, but then decides to disarm it only to be stoped by law enforcers, should the terorist not be blamed for seting the bomb in the first place? As for relinquishing claims, that is hardly redeeming, seeing as you never had any valid ones.

"Oh so they're like grenades! That makes sense. Let's see if I can adapt it into the analogy......"

"Ok. This isn't like a terrorist setting a bomb - this is like a dude playing with explosives in his house (see, I'm making this analogy because the attack on the angels was legal and so is this), and then the dude was like 'Someone could get hurt by me doing this. I'd better set up some safety equipment', and then law enforcement busts in and stops him from doing that, so then a bomb explodes one of them dies. That's how the analogy should go."

Your analogy lacks "One of the dudes (the one who died) was there unwilingly and tied up" and "by playing I mean throving lit grenades at each other". You could also add "it was all higly illegal".

"Ok, the dude who died was instead in the house next door to the bomb guy, and yes he was there unwillingly and tied up, but he was still next door. Throwing lit grenades at each other, in this case, is still legal. The attack was not illegal because Anath's Code says that we can't go after other gods. Angels are not gods, so by Council Rules I have legal right to attack them."

Darruth is silent for a moment, as he processes the information, even after having returned his awareness to the Godly Realm. Then, something snaps.

What the fuck is this shit? I stop watching you deities for half-a-tick and a second shitstorm pops up? This is utterly godsdamned ridiculous.

After practically choking on his words and fury, he takes a moment to compose himself, though it's quite evident that what was snapped has not been unsnapped.

So let me figure something out. Let me make sure I know exactly what's happening right now.
You lot; Cim, Yaos, and Serac, lead an attack on the angels that were supposed to keep Fusil from dying while he was in stasis and we collected information about the events leading up to his assault on Cim
A Harbinger appeared out of nowhere, I have no idea what the fuck those things do
Fusil died during the attack on his guardian angels, and the council surveillance reports that the three of you murdered him.
The three of you, primarily Yaos, try to actually gain some shit out of this whole affair, and Yaos seems to be not only staying out of the trial involving him like his comrades are doing, but is trying to get as much power as possible from this shit-fest, it seems.

For Goodness' fucking sake, people. This is bullshit. And I am very, very disappointed in you, Yaos.

So, allow me to demonstrate, one at a time, why you guys fucked up. Whether you should be punished or not is a different matter.
A. We could have continued to keep Fusil sealed indefinitely, so it wasn't like he was an actual threat at the moment.
B. WHERE IS YOUR GODSDAMNED PROOF THAT HE PLANNED ANY OF THE SHIT YOU SAID HE DID? He claimed the exact same thing of you three when he attacked Cim! And this gives so much more credence to those claims. And don't try to bullshit this. I am the God of Goodness, and even if Truth isn't directly under Good, it's so very damnably close that I can assure you it will be trivial to ensure you can't lie to the Council on this.
C. If I fire a catapult at a castle that you are living in, and say it's justified because I wasn't attacking you, per se, it's still a bullshit argument. In addition to, Fusil tried using the exact same argument to get out of being in trouble with the council for attacking Cim by claiming that Tykki was the one to attack. And guess what? That was bullshit too. Besides which, they were bound to protect him, so if you attacked them and something else killed him because they were dead or busy, you caused his death, indirectly or not.
D. Doing this shit in secret, rather than waiting for the council to vote on whether or not to execute him. That just makes you look bad.

And now, Yaos, allow me to demonstrate all of the flaws in your argument.
First off, fuck analogies. We're Gods. Mortal analogies don't apply. And shut up for a second about me using one earlier, fuck that one too, then.
Second off, there is a fucking difference between 'it's not specifically illegal' and 'legal rights'. 'Legal rights' are specifically outlined as your being allowed to do them. 'Not specifically illegal' can still be against the spirit of the law, which is the important part here. Nobody but you gives a shit about the letter of the law. And maybe Cim, but he's kinda obligated to do it so it's not his fault.
Third, for causing the wrongful death of a god based on trumped up conspiracy charges that you tried to carry out in secret? You don't deserve shit. In fact, I would argue that you might even deserve to have some shit taken away as punishment. YOU CAUSED THE FUCKING DEATH. STOP BULLSHITTING, DAMNIT.
Fourth, actually, fine. Let's try an analogy. Your grenade blew up in the guy's house. The house collapses. The guy dies. STILL YOUR FAULT.
Fifth, your bullshit attempts at legal grounds, and trying to sue the Council for trying to stop you from breaking the spirit of the law, means you basically just lost all claim to legal credibility in terms of being allowed to represent yourself. Get Cim to do it instead; he'll be better anyway.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm pissed. This is what happens when you get a God of Goodness truly angry. Would you like me to continue? Or have you finished with the bullshit, and I can return to my usual self? I'd like to return to my usual self. Please stop bullshitting us? It's not working.

(Not that powerful, actually. Vaal and Lette, individually, can each defeat the Emperor. I didn't give him the ENHANCED trait, if I remember correctly, and both Telialas and Zephemural are each more powerful than the Fire Sword since they were attuned to their wielders and especially because of their powers (especially Zephemural's).)

Now, I propose that Grauel be imprisoned for brainwashing my archangel and having him try to assassinate me. I also propose that we build (not rebuild - build) Fusil, the god of Weapons. We can't repair what doesn't exist but we can perhaps give a new god existence and life if we all put some Essence into it. As for his personality and memories......WE ARE GODS. WE DO WHAT WE WANT. BECAUSE. WE CAN."

Vaal, as the calm, level-headed angel that he is, will go with Jeffrey to the Corporeal Realm to rule over the Empire. The rest of the angels (except for Tol and the female Jumper Angel called Tory) will guard Yaos.

The ninjas withdraw from the palace and let Vaal see what's in the secret section.

The Paladins and the ninjas are told of the Emperor's treachery. Luckily, they were chosen for their devotion to Yaos instead of the Emperor.

Joha: Some of the prayers you hear are as follows:
"How might I create flower that creates fire when in bloom?"
"Where is the nearest Wood Elf village?"
"I wish for an extremely long life."

Serac: There do not appear to be any godly corpses lying around.

Yaos: Vaal goes to manage the Empire. In the secret section, there are records of what seem to be Void enchantments.

The Yaosian paladins and the ninjas learn of the Emperor's apparent treachery. They mourn.

(It's not much of a Horus Heresy unless the Emperor is Horus and a bunch of other angels turn on you.)

Yaos opposes draining Yaos.

The persecution of Gruen cultists has ended, signalling a time of greater peace and cooperation between Keshan Humans and Gruen.

The ninja who slaughtered the other, slightly rebellious ninjas has been given some of STF's knives.

The Emperor seems to have been struck down.

Azem's Bazaar finally starts. Much trading of exotic goods takes place. Azem himself has finally arrived at the Bazaar.

Clarification: The Emperor was struck by a bright energy blast from Lette. Most of the observers speculate that the Emperor was vaporized.

(An energy blast vaporised an archangel? I'd understand if it was an energy wave or at least an energy beam but a blast? No way it was the real Emperor.)

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 18, 2014, 12:43:58 am

The Yaosian paladins and the ninjas learn of the Emperor's apparent treachery. They mourn.

The Paladins and ninjas are informed that he has been cleared of his charges and that it was an imposter that attacked Yaos, but that the real Emperor's corpse was found buried in a shallow grave just outside the capital.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 18, 2014, 12:43:58 am

(It's not much of a Horus Heresy unless the Emperor is Horus and a bunch of other angels turn on you.)

Yaos rechecks the links between her and her angels. Any thoughts of rebellion? She also copy and pastes all knowledge and experience they have into herself, so she at least has some combat experience the next time she has to fight.

From now on, Yaos will permanently be decked out in the best non-magical/divine/Void armour in the Empire and always carries around a sword and the other set of sweet knives looted from STF's angels. In fact, she also gets a male version of said armour so she can switch forms more easily, unless she can change the shape of the armour for free as she transforms.

Ratu will now be able to speak at will to present and future Duondios.

(What's this in reference to? I'm missing the context.)

@The Gods: "Please pardon my actions against STF. I have died - the worst punishment a god has received. From my death I have learned and I have repented and I am trying to have Fusil returned back to life. What more could imprisonment do?"
"Darruth, what I did was an evil, but the universe has seen fit to punish me for my actions and I am changed! Please. My people on Keshan need me, now more than ever. If I am imprisoned I will have to have Vaal guard me, and then the Empire will be leaderless. An entire world's worth of people thrown into chaos. Even from a Good-Pragmatic point of view imprisoning me is a bad idea. I beg for forgiveness."

Had you been revived in full, I would push for imprisonment. Had you not proposed revival of Fusil, I would push for imprisonment.But with you so weakened and your archangel dead, I consider you punished enough and your repentance suficient.

Spoiler: Evie (click to show/hide)

"My primary contact, mostly due to our spheres and because it has an artifact for long-distance messages. I have not taken any deals from it (or any other Null), for freezing time seems such an unnecessary goal to serve."

Name: 'eehytlcafhshaes, ”Evie”
Function: Smith of Order
Alignment: Liminal
Age/Caste: Elder Capital: Bathyal
Tendency: Unknown, possibly static
Description: The Smith of Order is a fairly trustworthy and well-known Thing which has worked extensively with many gods of Order, Stasis, and Preservation. Its typical goal seems to be to have Its associates freeze entire bubbles in time, and It has created many often seemingly contradictory artifacts to this end. While It may not be the most friendly Thing for the chaotic, It seems to value those who also prize Order, Stasis, or Preservation.

Spoiler: Talls (click to show/hide)

"Serac's probable primary contact. Ask him if he has made any deals with it."

Name: Tallsgnuithaathry, ”Talls”
Function: Master of Water
Alignment: Luminant
Age/Caste/Tier: Shallow Capital: Epial
Tendency: Unknown, possibly Dynamic
Description: The Master of Water is known to be willing to make active contact and broker deals for older Nulls. It speaks in a friendly, conversational manner, but Its true motivations are unknown. It often abandons those who make agreements with it to the mercy of their peers when It detects opposition.

Spoiler: N'emy (click to show/hide)

"Someone has made and broken deals with this Null, and it apparently seeks revenge."

Name: N'emy
Function: Prophet of Jelly Rolls
Alignment: Luminant
Age/Caste/Tier: Grand Capital: Mesal
Tendency: Dynamic
Description: N'emy, the Prophet of Jelly Rolls, is a notoriously untrustworthy Thing. Many of Its deals harm Its clients directly or indirectly. However, despite Its poor reputation for bad deals, It has never actually lied, and It often takes advantage of desperate gods to advance Its goals.

Spoiler: Star (click to show/hide)

"I forget where I obtained this file, but here it is. Make of it what you will."

Name: Shturrthafusnghepiisnsitlygh, "Star"
Function: Lurker, unknown sphere, possibly Destruction or Entropy
Alignment: Umbral
Age/Caste: Primordial Coronal: Hadal
Tendency: Destructive
Description: The Lurker is revered even by Its fellow Nulls for Its apparent Descension. It left the other Nulls far before the Bubbles began appearing but after placing them in an inescapable orbit with the two other Hadal tiered Nulls. It has never spoken directly, but Its servants and manifestations are capable of making lesser deals with not only Bubble-dwellers but also other Nulls. Most believe that Its intentions are malevolent on account of it being the champion of the Umbral faction, but most have contact primarily if not exclusively with Luminants and Liminals, so this may be biased.

Spoiler: Other (click to show/hide)

"I don't have accurate information of these Null."

Jelnnezhrnutlphliifhthotyuk, Sage of Want. "Contacted me once asking if I wanted anything, ignored."
Sasnshutlkai'yfhiis, "Sassy," Knight of Apathy. "I fought some of its cultists at one point. Uninteresting."
Mgaareecaalwahiisnshyzhrshui, Prophet of Earth. "Contacted us once with an offer of collaboration, unknown if anyone took it. According to it, it is Coronal: Hadal, Liminal, and Static, but that is its own words."
Graanglipechozhrih, Sage of Ephemerality. "I know nothing, but some Gods were present when one of its cultists was interrogated."
Ngysnaighonuibimusnbuzhrluiongg, Seer of Water. "Unknown, but Serac may have information."

Tick 39: Cycles

Some Human "Void mages" have decided to report assorted random citizens as their cult leaders. The actual Void cultists have shared information about contacting and being contacted by the Void and dubious spells or club minutes.

Very few monsters remain, and sightings are typically separated by many days.

Some ninjas who refused to turn in a bunch of bandits have been mercilessly slaughtered along with the bandits by a random ninja who did. The random ninja has been given some STF knives. Lawmancer activity increases along the roads as bandit activity decreases. Lette has slaughtered the bandits still near the roads. There are now only 11 ninjas left.

The Seppo high priest brought in to translate is throwing a Mystic Snow party, which the scientists attend.

A Slythan Luminee kingdom's population is slowly being sacrificed by a Human queen.
Yaos has died and been revived at great cost. The Emperor has died and remains dead. Vaal and Jeffrey will rule the Human empire until a more suitable replacement can be found or made. Jeffrey takes quite well to the management duties of ruling.

Azem's Bazaar is finally held at the Keshan Human imperial capital! This massive trade festival brings many rare, exotic goods into the public eye. Azem attends in person with a small caravan, bringing even more to trade. Some Rani and Shadow Ravens also attend after a long journey with perpetually frozen statues.

The Yaosian paladins and ninjas continue to mourn.

Yaos has rechecked the Yaos-angel links, and there seems to be nothing too suspicious. Yaos has taken to wearing imperial armor.

Kli:
Philosopher: "The founding of the School. Without it, we would remain in the trap of illogical arguments."
The Pilgrim continues swinging at the ceiling. It does not seem very safe.
Monk: "I don't want to talk about it."

Varee transforms into a log and watches a morphglob. They seem to do little beyond eat and sleep.

(Constellations: 2/3 for Yaos)

(Darruth: Need

This update's constellations are the Hammer and Gravestone.

The culmination of many ticks of plotting and secret actions will reach its resolution soon.

Darruth: The Guardians find their first Charges. Some prayers directed to you are as follows:
"How can I know what your will is?"
"What shall I do with my wealth that will most benefit the needy?"
"Thank you for striking down that murderer with the strange knife!"

An excellent question, my child. If you are willing, I will answer it in the most complete way I can; I will make you my prophet, so that you might be able to tell others of what Good is, as well.
If you use your wealth to aid in the establishment of shelters for the homeless, food banks, and charity drives to convince people to assist in these and other such public works that might last for longer than the material wealth they were borne from, this will aid many. Converting others to the way of Good so they help others themselves will also aid in this. The path to Good has many roads, my child, and it is your choice which to take; some will have more hardships, yet lead to a greater Good, while others may be long and hard to see, but in the end they will also take you farther along the path to ultimate Goodness. My love for you, and your desire to help.
That was not me, child, but rather the penultimate Goodness to which all aspire, giving evidence of it's existence. Describe to me more what this murderer was like, and how he was struck down, though, if you might?

Serac:The Queen will now froth at the mouth instead of speaking until she stops the sacrifices. She writes a Lawmancer asking for a catch and he suggests stopping the sacrifices for a day and starting them back again. It doesn't work.

I am fine, just lightly injured. I may have saved a kingdom... At least for now.

I think that egg might never hatch here. Perhaps it needs some time in the mortal realms?
Knock three times on the egg, then hit it three times with a piece of metal.



Edit: Return to the queen and tell her: Just so you know, the curse will not lift when the luminee are dead. No, the more that die, the worse it will get. First you lose your mouth. Next, your ears. Then you lose your sight. Eventually, as the last luminee dies, the curse becomes permanent. You will be forever encased in bubbles, and you will have all of eternity to think about why you are not worth an entire kingdom. Accompanied by the sound of bubbles popping, endlessly popping.

Tick 39.4: Restoration

Charges filed automatically against a jumper angel of Yaos have been dropped. Cim, Serac, and Yaos have been acquitted. The Council retains the bodies of Fusil's angels.

A Mountwyrm has finally caught a notorious thief. A Guild of Smiths has recently finished a large weapons order for an unknown client. The treasure fleet continues to impress many thousands in many cities.

A Torrid Queen has been made to froth at the mouth after having sacrificed random Luminee and having contributed to Serac being wounded. Her condition grew worse before she was found dead, still frothing where a mouth used to be.

The mysterious egg has been hit three times and with a piece of metal. It seems to mock onlookers as it continues to sit undamaged.

(36.00: Split and extended; 37.03: Removed by proposer)

(Re Humans as stupid, helpless people: I still maintain that these in-game carboes we also call Humans can be independent of unified leadership, if only because the mechanics behind them permits it.)

Kli:
Philosopher: "Where all is balanced and nothing is in excess or scarce."
The Pilgrim carefully scales the wall, silently reciting some traditional sayings about balance on the way up and gets about half of the way across the chasm.
Monk: "How do you gods survive when there is only despair?"

(Constellations: 2/3 for Yaos)

This update's constellations are the Staff and Phoenix.

Monk: "How do you gods survive when there is only despair?"

A vision of the Philosopher's paradise appears to the Philosopher. It shows all of the races living together in peace, neither being oppressed or exalted. There are many great works of art abound, a dazzling School for all standing in the distance, enough of both basic and luxury-based supplies for everyone to share. "Pay attention to the world you have envisioned. You see great things, do you not? As your final test, you must tell me two things you need to remove from this world in order to create a true paradise, and why. Do not worry, you have no time limit."
Kli watches silently. He lets the Pilgrim face several trials- a small slippery area, a sudden burst of wind, and other minor obstacles.
To the Monk: "To start with, every individual has two universal blessings: a mind and a heart. Do you know how this world was created? Out of the Void came a Bubble of Creation, and from there several gods formed, including myself. We, the gods, created this land of hope from nothing but our imagination and will. That is not to say only gods have the power to create; mortals can also do so to a lesser degree. All of us individuals, not only gods, have the power to survive by finding a way even in the darkest of times. All of us have the power to create hope from which there is none. Despair may be all that there is for a few moments, but it certainly will not remain the only thing in existence as long as one wishes it so. Does this make sense?"

What if someone tripped over one of these invisible laws and found themselves on the wrong end of a Council Guardian hit-squad? Completely unacceptable." :I

(What would be the point? You only enforce it when it suits you. You just let three murders walk away...)

(The point of the assault was to kill your angels - not you. It was more or less coincidence that you died at the same time. Probably less....buuuuuuuuut there's no way to prove it. ^_^ Seriously, we don't even know for sure the cause of death. For all we know it was Tykki that killed you by detonating the egg inside you or something. For all we know. You might know more, but IC we know nothing.)

Tick 40: Gloom

The Dwarves threaten to bind Tori to the corporeal dimension in response to some espionage.

(Yaos: Constellations added, soul claimed)

The Seppo high priest says "WheeeeeEEEeee!" and draws a set of scribbles that vaguely resemble a hammer crossed with a curved spear. He offers Mystic Snow to his current host.

Philosopher: "We can achieve that by limiting the influence of all of you as gods and removing the curse old Cano proposed existed. While you gods continue to intervene in our affairs, your endless bickering also seeps into our lives. Paradise will be achievable only when those ones who interfere the most are sent away."
The Pilgrim almost slips but catches the rock again and thanks you greatly upon reaching the other side.
The Monk thinks for a few moments and answer: "It does make sense, but I cannot easily resist my mortal imperfection."

A Rani has, in the absence of friendly wolves, bought a number of cold-adapted dogs and trained them to pull a sled. This has started a new racing pastime in which participants race around the rough terrain of the Northern Lands.
A Rani asking for more winter has been ignored. Another who asked to be frozen for a thousand years has been encased in ice along with his house from the massive amount of Belief.
The worshippers of Neron do not appear to be too mentally unhealthy or unstable. They have "accidental" stabbing rates comparable to those of the Gruen, which are some of the lowest among the races.

The Seppo and Armu know nothing about the metal egg.

Neron has created the North Wolves, which are larger than normal wolves. They are for use by his followers and can be trained to pull sleds.

Neron has bought one of STF's weapons. I am not a free Void scanner, so the sale goes through, as overpriced it is.

Anyone want a (separated) retrial of Cim, Serac, and Yaos? I guess it wasn't really executed well the first time around.

This update's constellations are the Crown and Ship.

Tori will quickly grab a weapon and teleport to the Scientists for examination.

The High Priest is subject to Psymental magic to extract the secret language of the High Priests as well as whatever relevant knowledge is present within his. Once that's done, a new High Priest is brought in to help. Since these are energy weapons that are being developed, an Ikaku is brought in to help. Hopefully one that's actually learned and/or interested in invention.

I prototype 300 moon-adapted Humans to live on the most habitable/hospitable moon orbiting the gas giant (that was 1-2E if I remember correctly, for the most hospitable moon). The regular angels and Jeffrey will help set up proper infrastructure that will allow the Humans there to survive such as farms and wells and such.

(So where are the megabeasts? Keshan or Slytha? I want to know so I can have them sacrificed to me.)

Tick 40.5: Degradation

Joha has created swords of draining for herself and Kifo.

The Dwarves are furious at the loss of one of their priceless weapons! Their more militant smiths have desecrated a temple of Yaos! The scientists examine the weapon and find that it is masterfully crafted and decorated. They are loathe to nick even a small portion for analysis.

Philosopher: "I hope to find Balance in everything I do. No more, no less."
Pilgrim: "I was unsatisfied with my life. There was too much of some and too little of others, so I turned to you, the first other god I have found who respects worshippers not for their usefulness but for their individual worth."
Monk: "Then I shall continue. May you reveal the path to that perfection."

The high priest either blocks the psymental magic surprisingly well or has nothing relevant.

Yaos has created 300 adapted Humans for the most hospitable moon around a gas giant. The regulars and Jeffrey help with setting things up for them.

(The megabeasts are exactly where they currently are.)

Yaos spars with a Paladin at the Death Battle Plane, guarded by Minos and Lette. The Paladin is fearful of being smote for winning.

(Yaos: Your declaration directly opposes free will and cannot and will not be enforced. Where souls go depends on who they serve.)

This update's constellations are the Dragon and Candle.

The Dwarves are furious at the loss of one of their priceless weapons! Their more militant smiths have desecrated a temple of Yaos! The scientists examine the weapon and find that it is masterfully crafted and decorated. They are loathe to nick even a small portion for analysis.

Can they at least tell me what it is and what it does? (I don't even know what kind of weapon it is. A sword? A spear? A gun? Other? All I know is that it's a weapon.) Wait, the dwarves had a temple of me? Why would they have a temple of me? I thought they hated me for the whole INCEPTION thing I did a while back?

Yaos spars with a Paladin at the Death Battle Plane, guarded by Minos and Lette. The Paladin is fearful of being smote for winning.

"Silly Paladin! I'm the god of Humans and Ambition, not Pettiness!" ;D "I fully expect you to win in a fight against me. Don't worry about it." :) "Just make sure you don't injure me or kill me, but that should be easy considering all the armour I'm wearing." ;) "But please, I need to learn how to fight, so don't be afraid to go hard on me."

Yaos:
Dwarf incidents: It was Urist McFirebeard at the Human town temple with a bucket.

The scientists report that it is a masterfully crafted axe of an unknown metal decorated with many gems. It seems not to radiate anything out of the ordinary but is a fine-looking weapon nonetheless.

The Paladin still seems somewhat worried but fights harder.

Philosopher: "I hope to find Balance in everything I do. No more, no less."
Pilgrim: "I was unsatisfied with my life. There was too much of some and too little of others, so I turned to you, the first other god I have found who respects worshippers not for their usefulness but for their individual worth."
Monk: "Then I shall continue. May you reveal the path to that perfection."

"Then it shall be so, Philosopher." Kli blesses the Philosopher to gain a deeper knowledge and wisdom of Balance (on a level higher than any mortal), as well as a greater affinity for Universal magic. He also enchants in him such a way that the Philosopher gains the abilities and improvements of an angel, technically making him an individual angel of Balance with free will. "I have granted you the ability to forge your own path of Balance, therefore it is your gift as well as your challenge to seek Balance in anything you attempt with this power, from the smallest act to the greatest feat. I wish you well in your endeavours in whatever feats you would seek to achieve, whether small or great. I also hope that when the time a great tragedy truly arises, I may be able to seek you and help you in preventing the loss of life and preserving Balance." With that, Kli teleports the Philosopher to the entrance of the labyrinth, and watches to see his next actions.
To the Pilgrim: "Hmm. I understand. The other gods are often busy with divine politics and other undertakings that they sometimes forget that worshippers are individuals with equally important worries and hopes. What do you seek here?"
"Very well." The next cavern of trials for the Monk appears. It is filled with many crystals, each either a brilliant red, a pale blue, a verdant green, or a dark purple. In the center of the cavern, a staircase leading deeper into the labyrinth is blocked by an impenetrable glass pane. There are several holes surrounding the staircase. "Each crystal responds to a memory and emotion. Each hole responds to any crystal. The sequence of crystals that most accurately define yourself lets you proceed..

The Philosopher is grateful and curious. He randomly teleports all over his current world, watching many assorted people as they go about their lives.
The Pilgrim seems to be here for the thrill of the challenge and to demonstrate dedication.
The Monk observes the crystals and thinks. She touches a brilliant red crystal.

Tick 41: Ominous times

A Hummingbird philosopher has ascended to angelhood after passing a series of trials by Kli. He has not currently done much with his new power beyond wandering the worlds to see interesting sights.

The rakshas appear to have expanded their civilization, and they have many fora for discussion.

Khaziraad's archangel begins fighting Lette in the Death Battle Plane. The archangel cannot seem to hit Lette easily, and Lette cannot seem to damage the archangel significantly. It is mostly a stalemate.
(As usual, conditions there do not necessarily reflect conditions elsewhere. Such is the weakness of lab experiment-like studies.)

(Neron: -1E)
Neron has codified his teachings and distributed them to many shrines. The followers of Neron are thankful for clearing up many questions about his teachings.

This update's constellations are the Seraph and Ikaku.

"Then explain how she (I imagine your archangel is a she) managed to take the equivalent of five building-busters to the face and shrug it off like.....ooooooohhhh. Right. Forgot you're the architecture god. Makes sense now." (I literally only realised that AFTER I wrote 'building-buster'.)

I train with an angel, since Paladins are too unreliable. Lette and Minos will be there to guard Yaos from outside threats.

Tory returns the weapon she stole. It was just a boring old spear. Unexpected considering the fame of the dwarves for their weapon-making skills.

A new Seppo High Priest is found that will help create the Hilda and the Sion. The Scientists work on them regardless of whether or not a priest is available.

Yaos creates as many Moon Humans as possible with 2 Essence. Jeffrey and two angels will help build accommodations for the new Humans, including either a democratic or republic government, better farms, and temples. A law is enacted saying that outsiders are strictly forbidden and that all such sightings must immediately be reported to Yaos via prayer - especially if they start hearing strange voices or see eldritch symbols.

So what's the moon like? How are the Moon Humans different from normal Humans?

Yaos listens to the prayers of some of the Moon Humans.

"With the new Humans I'm making on the moon, I should have a decent enough income to pay back my debt to you."

The Ice Titans will not be included in the Bestiary because they do not reproduce. The Snow Golems will be, though.

Propose that anything less than 30 metres in height be labelled a giant instead of a titan.

Tori throws a flag with Yaos' symbol on it into the gas giant. She then gets more flags and plants them on each of the moons.

"Unless the council opposes it I claim the gas giant and all of its moons as property of the Empire of Mankind. I am willing to sell the gas giant for 2 Essence and each of the moons (except for the most habitable/hospitable moon) for 1 Essence. Both Azem and Joha are offered a deal where they get both the gas giant and the non-prime moons (the moons that aren't the most habitable/hospitable) so long as they cancel Yaos' debt to them. The deal will be given to the first one who asks to take it."

The gas giant is named (by its owner, Yaos) Konva Prime. The moons are named Konva X, where X is a number based on how hospitable it is. Konva 1 is the most hospitable and Konva 15 is the least hospitable.

I don't plan to directly harm you or anyone unless you first threaten or make an attempt to harm me.

Really, I apologize. That statement was horrendously unclear. What I should have said is that if you touch anything of mine, you are in effect inviting me to touch something of yours that I deem of equal value.

Basically, "Don't ever touch my stuff if you aren't willing to accept me reciprocating the gesture."

I'll leave that as a general statement to refer to everything we both own. If I touch something you consider to be yours, you too can reciprocate. Then if I deem what you touch to be of fairly equal value, I'll let it slide. If not, I can touch something else of yours again to make it equal as far as I'm concerned... And if you don't feel we're equal then... Well we can just keep going and going and going until neither of us has anything left because we both got a little carried away! :D
But we're certainly not going to try killing each other. It's just about touching each other's stuff.

So go ahead and touch my stuff if you want. Just don't ever touch anything I'm likely to consider too valuable unless you're willing to deal with my response as I've outlined it.

Sheesh, what I said before may have been far more unclear but it was certainly much less wordy.

And of course we're still friendly. You and I are both so damn stingy about our stuff, how could we not be friends? We have way too much in common for me to hate you. That would be like hating myself. And really what is all this but one big game (breaking that wall?). It's hardly right to get too worked up about a game. At least for any serious length of time.

(Neron: -4E)
Neron: You create the Angel of the North.

(Yaos: -2E)
Yaos: You train with an angel.

Tori returns the axe, axe in "Can I axe you which weapon it was?"

You propagate the Moon Humans. There are now about a thousand. You also tell them to report outsiders and strange voices. They immediately report a village of Armu with a curious dome-like structure. They are different from normal Humans in that they are far slower and have a completely different biochemistry while still maintaining a vaguely similar anatomy. They would likely be unable to survive for more than a few minutes on either Keshan or Slytha barring the use of powerful magic and a few sacrifices (or some significant Essence expenditure). The Moon Humans have few prayers at this point, but the few that are there are these:
"I saw some strange creatures around a large hill! They had many arms!"
"I want to be a god. My friends in here will surely enjoy watching my transformation."
"I heard sweet singing from the sky last brightness. It spoke of killing everything!"

Everyone: The most hospitable moon has a fairly dense atmosphere of mostly nitrogen and methane. There is almost no molecular oxygen. The whole moon exhibits the phenomenon of planetary seasons. One of those seasons is the wet season, and the other is the dry season. Unlike on a more Earthlike world, the rain can continue to fall for many months before stopping. It is too cold for liquid water to exist anywhere, and water can be considered to be another rock for all intents and purposes. Lakes of the lighter hydrocarbons and assorted organics dot the land. The ground contains much (frozen) water and silicates. The wildlife seems to consist mostly of slow

Tori has thrown a flag into the gas giants. She plants flags on the moons as well. What this gesture could possibly mean is uncertain to anyone observing it were there any to observe it in the first place.

Yaos has attempted to claim the gas giants and their moons. This attempt is completely unenforceable except by Yaos.

Since creating the gas giants was a project involving multiple gods and Essence, you cannot force the name with 2E if there are any opponents.

Proposal for naming giants and titans rejected. I don't care and I won't intervene unless someone gets too vocal.

I will let all of you sort out moon-claiming amongst yourselves. Perhaps you will be able to get a moon if you can be as aggressive as Yaos. ;)

I understand that a discount is enacted as more Essence is spent, but a mere thousand seems paltry considering that I'm a god whose sphere is basically sapients.)

Yaos:
"I will be sure to pray if anything happens."

The Muman seems to have been eating some Mystic Snow equivalent. It shares the story with the others. They are horrified and pray for you to paralyze the responsible one.

There is a key flaw to your plan to sell moons and the gass giant Yaos. At your curent state, it would be cheaper to re-kill you and claim the moons than to buy them from you.

"There's also a fair share of problems in your plan, as well.
Whoever decides to nuke me would have to sacrifice an equal amount of Essence, automatically giving themselves away.
Moreover, I'm in the DBP where I'd probably just come back to life if I died.
If that's not the case, I could just retreat to the Human Plane where I'd be safe from outside.....bad stuff.
Even if I do die, I could just come back to life.
If I don't come back to life, then they still can't claim the moons because the flags are those of the Empire of Mankind. They'd also have to kill an archangel if they want to claim it, and probably all my other angels who'll inherit the Empire as the other angels die. ALL my other angels.
If they somehow manage to exhaust the entire supply of angels, the system will be inherited by Joha and they'll have to do everything all over again."

Quote from: gman8181 on November 21, 2014, 12:52:15 am

I get one moon and you get the rest to do with as you see fit? I understand wanting to claim some territory and to defend what you claim but I'm starting to feel insulted. Am I somehow misinterpreting this?

"Great circle? Does it look like ((insert description of the gas giant))? As for your question, it's because when a person begins the transformation to become a god, their soul burns up and they die forever."
The Mumans are told that the crazy dude was just eating some crazy food and that it's not a curse and no one's responsible. The eating of that food is banned. The guy who ate the food will have diarrhoea for a few days.

"I propose the creation of spirits. They shall be just like the weapon spirits - the Shinjo - except for things other than weapons. There should be a spirit for each river, each mountain, each planet, each forest, each lake, etc. It would certainly make the world more interesting."

No. You do not deserve a reward for sending someone to go stick flags in a bunch of floating rocks. Just because others haven't used what they paid for, does not automatically allow you to call dibs on everything except for a few out of countless moons for your personal collection. It doesn't work that way and I've had enough of this. It's not even about the moons, it's about your behavior.

Your vanity and arrogance have gone too far. You think you can shove your weight around without penalty.

Yaos retreats to the Human Plane. All of Yaos' remaining angels (including Vaal, excluding the Controller Angels), Scientists, Paladins, and ninjas are ported to the Human Plane. Everyone except Yaos, Lette, Vaal, and Minos are then ported to the DBP.

Propose that Grauel be imprisoned for breaking Part I and Part V of Anath's code. By destroying the largest centre of Human population it can be considered that he did a megadeath. The dimensional seal speaks for itself. (The ****'s a dimensional seal?)

The Inquisition and the Human military will work to evacuate all survivors. The Humanos army is told to go on high alert.

Let's not use the war sites for this. They were heavily outdated two weeks ago, and they are far more outdated now, not to mention that there are at least two missing gods with significant roles. It's also not very conducive to the current situation, where it takes place on potentially hundreds or thousands of maps (maybe even with timefoolery).

Azem: "Sure." (PMs?)

Yaos: The jelly roll maker inventor's house has no Void influence. Only the son has Void influence. None of them profess to know anything about the Void.

(Run down on what? Don't say "the Konvan system." ;))

The creature seems to have vanished from Keshan. There is a disturbance in the Keshan sun.

Yaos has retreated to the Human Plane. Yaos' remaining angels (except the Controllers), Scientists, Paladins,  and Ninjas are brought along. There is much fighting. Everyone else has been sent to the Death Battle Plane.

Interfere at your own risk. I'm no less justified than any of the others were when they attacked Fusil against the council's will. All of them were not punished and now you think you have some right to decide if I am to be punished?

Your collective petty attempts at trying to stop me by acting through the council are really starting to bother me. I've done nothing more wrong than anyone else. It's just that no one calls the others out on it. I'm only going to get angrier if this interference continues. Yaos thought he could act tough.

Yaos' suit about Keshan auroras has been dropped. (You may want to cut back on the aggression a little. Beyond a certain point, increased aggression appears more like overcompensation.)

The Monk observes the crystals and thinks. She touches a brilliant red crystal.

Kli sends a message in a dream to the Philosopher, informing him of the other world, and the way the two are connected.
Kli disappears in front of the Pilgrim, and the next passageway opens up. It is a small room with several translucent glass cases. The Pilgrim is not able to see what are inside. "Open each without shattering the glass. Sometimes, it takes thinking outside the box to get what you want.

Give her visions of war and blood. Show her all the saddest and horrible times in this realms history. Then show the moments of joy and peace. Inspire her to seek peace for all mortals.

"After seeing all of that your probably a little worried about using that spear of yours. Do not fear it shall be a weapon of peace not war.

Take her spear and write on it with magic runes. It shall be called Weary-War because all that stand against it will receive the same visions Merwen received.

Spoiler: Super long reply to Yaos (click to show/hide)

*Sigh* I don't care about the moons. I'm tired of your behavior of acting like you can push others around without backing it up. What set this off was you claiming all the moons forcibly and saying you'd attack anyone who tried to settle them without buying them off you.

Claiming all the moons made by the council is like me claiming the death battle plane made by the council if people don't use it enough. This was set off by numerous instances of you taking advantage of council actions for personal gains. You claimed the council made humans as your race and yours alone, saying that you're only letting others have human followers out of generosity when it was the council being generous to have made them at all. You took advantage of the council imprisoning Fusil to attack his followers, take their possessions and then pawn them off for personal gain. You make a broad claim to all the council created moons, saying others can only settle them if they pay you and saying you will react with force against any who don't comply.

Face it, you're as ambitious and power hungry as any of the worst of us. That's not even what bothers me though. It's that you act that way and then claim moral and legal superiority while hiding behind the council. That's what bothers me. You make all these power plays and then act like you are somehow more righteous than of the others who do the same. You act like you are powerful enough to do whatever you want but instead of fighting for it yourself, you try to get others to do it for you.

The others have let you get away with an absurd amount. I'm not sure if it's because they fear you or because you've just been good about persuading others to do what you want. I however am not afraid of you even remotely. I have no intention of in any way being pushed around by you or persuaded to let you continuously pull of this ridiculous routine you've gotten into.

I'm doing this because I'm tired of the tough act and power plays when you aren't willing to own up to them and claim personal responsibility. Either stop making power plays or stop whining and hiding behind the council when you do make them and someone finally decides to oppose them.

Because Yaos, you aren't the only one who's power hungry. I do my best to be practical and respectful about the ways I go about accumulating power, to a certain degree, but when you start to attempt more and more excessive ploys to gain power at the expense of others, you are effectively inviting others to do the same.

So moons won't buy you peace. This isn't me claiming moral or legal righteousness. I'm telling you right now, that the conflict between us will go on for as long as you grab at power that subtracts from my own. That includes taking things from the council that I helped pay for and it includes taking things excessively and getting angry when others do the same. So if you take stuff I've invested in, expect more conflict. Because you're curbing my hunger, my ambition and my power. And effectively challenging me.

Also it's hard to take any peace offer seriously from you when they're often accompanied by you trying to take something. You preemptive offer me extra moons when I get annoyed and simultaneously propose to claim the dragon I invested essence in for the council. I could have created my own system of moons for what I put into that dragon. You think I would honestly be grateful or accepting of that offer?

"Wait what? You're a little wrong there. You're saying I claimed all the moons. I'm going to say right now that I only claimed the ones in the Konva system. The Keshan and Slythan moons are free, and literally the entire system of the other gas giant is free. Seriously. FIFTEEN totally unclaimed moons and a totally unclaimed gas giant to go with them. I'm going after neither those moons, nor the gas giant they orbit."
"I'm combining 'first come - first serve' with my rightful Essence contribution to get a maximum of half project. Excluding Anath because he's in stasis, that's 10 moons that I 100% own so thats........11 bodies out of 32 (including gas giants). According to a mathematician that means that I claim 34% of the project as definitely mine, and that's including first come - first serve. If Anath were to come out of stasis that would be about 31%. Less than a third. It's really not that much, all things considering."
"You'd have a very good point if I tried claiming everything in both systems without giving anything away, but that's not how it is. Any counter-arguments, señor Grauel?" ;)

Tick 42: Meaning and time

Kli:
The Philosopher jumps to Slytha after a few misses and begins exploring. He is captivated by the massive differences between the two worlds and the relative absence of the gods' influence on this world.
The Pilgrim begins thinking and takes out a knife. Unfortunately, the knife is neither hard enough nor sharp enough to cut any glass.
The Monk sees a band of imperial raiders razing her village and slaughtering the inhabitants. She stomps in rage.

A Hummingbird ponders for a moment and answers Yaos. "It may or may not be. It depends greatly on the history of the city, its inhabitants, its governors, the land it's built on, and the cause of the attack."

Yaos has crafted a basic Human body to inhabit. Azem has created a basic Gem Dragon body to inhabit.

The Golems and Gremlins have built temples of Yaos in their cities. They are mostly unused except by visiting Humans.

Merwen has reached a temple of Neron and has begun talking to them.

(Yaos: Constellations visible only from Konva 1? That will require a nominal payment of 1E/constellation to bend natural laws enough to make something like that possible.)

Khaziraad's archangel has been sent to the Death Battle Plane. It seems to become part of an arena, or maybe part of an arena seems to become a part of it.

This update's constellations are the Human and Pentagram. There is a Keshan solar flare, and aurora in the Keshan system are very strong.

(Yaos: -2E, Azem: -2E)

Administrative:
An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Council-produced creations are not to be tampered with without council approval. Failure to comply will result in the automated initiation of a trial.

03.01: Only deities supporting a proposal enter the Essence pool

04.03: Remove proposals stagnant for 3 ticks or double opposed to supported for 1 tick <0>

Proposals at [IMMINENT PASS] will pass immediately if 80% of the Support or Oppose votes are Support votes.

"Angels, they fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung"

"Oh, hello everyone. Council, Yaos, Serac, and Cim. Did you all miss me? I missed you. That prison isn't a very pleasant place, you know. There is only so many times one can play 42 pickup with his Angels. Oh, and I was killed there, too. Three armies burst into my doors and tried to kill me. Did a pretty good job at it. I am quite a bit angry about that, especially since it seems nobody decided to punish them. Especially after I was in, just for threatening to kill Cim, but when he does to to me...

Don't worry. I am not going to kill you, I am not even angry. Why not just let the council punish you?

First: I propose you give me back my Angels, before I have to break someone's skull open. The council has no right to them, they are mine.
Second: I propose we persecute Cim, Yaos, and Serac. For my murder, in three different trials with the punishment being 6 ticks in prison. That is what I got, after all.
Third: Yaos, give me back all the stuff you stole. That is another proposal. The Weapon Spirits, the Weapons, everything. They are mine.

Oppose punishing the God of Hunger. You will only try to kill him as you did me, Yaos. Don't even try to hide it.

Now, are there any questions?"

Also, 39.02 Oppose. 41.00 Oppose. 41.01 Oppose. 41.05 Oppose.

"For those wondering what just happened, Yaos had made a deal with the Void. Apparently, one of the conditions was that I was killed. As I am alive, the deal is broken and the Void brings down their punishment. I was aware this would happen, but had no way to prevent it. This is likely where much of the power for his 'uber Angel' came from."

Seeing as Fusil is the one who actually died, I would recommend waiting until Fusil has said anything before flinging out accusation.

"Oh yes. Dying. Maybe a recommendation can be made to wait until Yaos says something before we OH WE CANNOT BECAUSE HE IS DEAD. Oh. I'm sorry. I'm usually far more composed. I'm just a little bit absolutely livid."

"Yaos's Angel, you have no right to speak to the council in your God's stead. In any case, Cim didn't benefit from it, and seemed to genuinely have a wicked plan for my Angels. His plan was canceled when I was killed, but Yaos had gained thirteen essence. Is there any doubt who the true culprit it?"

"He was searching for Artisanii. He had reason to suspect that Tykki had knowledge of Artisanii's location and wanted to interrogate her. For all we knew she would have sacrificed him to revive you. When she died Yaos stopped asking for her. It was unlikely the other angels considering their low rank and as far as I can see you are the only one with confirmed Void relations."

The Philosopher jumps to Slytha after a few misses and begins exploring. He is captivated by the massive differences between the two worlds and the relative absence of the gods' influence on this world.
The Pilgrim begins thinking and takes out a knife. Unfortunately, the knife is neither hard enough nor sharp enough to cut any glass.
The Monk sees a band of imperial raiders razing her village and slaughtering the inhabitants. She stomps in rage.

Kli continues to watch the Philosopher's actions once he begins to start using his powers.
The glass glows with each strike, yet does not show any scratches. Soft musical notes sound with each hit.
One of the holes surrounding the staircase glow.

Ah, apologies. I am somewhat confused by everything happening at the moment, having been rather preoccupied with my followers...

Since Yaos is dead, I suppose I can speak of this freely now.

I would like to work on disbanding the Inquisition; I will assist you in dismantling Yaos' empire, if you wish, Fusil, so long as we do so by moral means. His Inquisition constituted a grievous violation of many rights and workings.

I know we've had our differences in the past. But if you look at the Records of Time, I was furious when you were killed. And I was actually planning on attempting to revive you soon enough, though obviously it's no longer necessary. It would have been a fitting punishment for Cim and Serac to have to assist in your being raised.

I must ask, though; how do you know of which gods have made what deals with the Void? And are you still so violently opposed to it?

Perhaps I merely misinterpreted what you meant by the phrase, claiming them as your children. Or perhaps my knowledge that you are the god of Greed influenced my perception unfairly. I apologize.

That does seem the most fair plan to both Gods and Humans, Fusil...can I ask why you are so opposed to the Void?

I have been speaking with them, in an attempt to gain knowledge and determine it's Goodness if nothing else, and find that though I may be being deceived, I can see little flatly Evil about them. And little truly Good, but that is to be expected.

Besides, if they are truly Evil, the more knowledge one has of one's enemies, the better.

Vaal, I have had human towns come to me for protection after being abused by your Inquisition's practices! That alone says something about the institution!

"Since when is genocide a just response to claiming a mere QUARTER of something Yaos helped pay for? Yaos paid for one sixth of the project like the other gods, and one has since gone inactive. He should be entitled to only a fifth, which is something I agree with. But then, he was giving five of those moons away so maybe it balances out."

"Yaos killed me, took control of the moons and my stuff. As the God of Hunger said, it was more than that that lead to his overzealous attacks."

"And one of these things was guarding Fusil's prison. A bit suspicious, no?"

"That was the Killer warning me of the deal you made."

Vaal, I have had human towns come to me for protection after being abused by your Inquisition's practices! That alone says something about the institution!

Hmmm. That is not quite true; Yaos wanted to make a new Fusil, not revive the old one, if I remember correctly.

"WHAT!? Give me a copy of the reports if you may. I've received no news of such practices, but that is probably to be expected. I'll disband them immediately if I have proof."

"He wanted to make the new Fusil exactly as the old one with all his memories and personality. This was her objective over straight reviving because it was believed that a corpse is necessary for reviving. Apparently, that is not the case."

Quote from: Andres on November 17, 2014, 11:50:12 pm

I also propose that we build (not rebuild - build) Fusil, the god of Weapons. We can't repair what doesn't exist but we can perhaps give a new god existence and life if we all put some Essence into it. As for his personality and memories......WE ARE GODS. WE DO WHAT WE WANT. BECAUSE. WE CAN."[/glow][/color]

Perhaps I misinterpreted that last part. As far as I could tell, it meant giving him a new personality and memories.

As for the reports, I believe I can have Palatino render them to you. Those Human Towns are now under my protection, by the way. I will, however, work with you to punish those responsible for the murder and arson.

Quote from: Palatino's Reports

A human town has decided to turn to you after losing a beloved priest to Yaos' vengeance. They beg you for protection.

---

It appears that they are fearful after Yaos casually killed their priest for refusing to accept a potentially corrupting gift. They are terrified of the Inquisition's retaliation and have lynched several Inquisitors in the panic and have razed Yaos' temple. The people beg for protection.

I would appreciate not being called an idiot for attempting to gain some sort of understanding of just what we're going up against; have you a better idea of ways to learn of them? I have considered making a Void capable Angel.

But I ask, are there not cults present here that kill people already? As the God of Weapons, you surely know that the primary purpose of a weapon is to kill. I do not believe all of the Void itself to be Evil in such a fashion as you claim, but neither will I deny that it is certainly present. I can, however, accept your reasoning, if they threaten your followers. I must say, though, one of them asked me to revive you, so...

Finally, Vaal, the fact that one of Yaos' angels turned into one of these things, after his Angel-Emperor turned against him...it does not speak well of him.

"By Fusil, that is the kind of thing I mean! That is why I called you such an unbelievable idiot! I will have to slay that abomination the second it enters our world, to avoid the destruction it may cause.

Books. We had an entire library, and there are still many books on the planets. Books don't kill anything, don't corrupt anything, and rarely lie. They are why I know more on the void than most of you, and haven't had to deal with them in such a blasphemous way.

"The weapons protect my followers from anything wishing to harm them, the weapons are my blessing that keeps them safe. My followers have shown to be less violent than any other, having some of the most trade and being involved in the least amount of conflict thanks to my active attention to them.

As I said, it asked to revive me as to kill Yaos. His end goal was violence, which you seem to think is bad. They are twisted lairs, as I said do not listen to them! This is why you rely on books instead!"

A bit naive if I do say so myself but that's Yaos."

"I will not disband the Inquisition. The Inquisition is a Keshan instrument against Void cultists and is controlled by the Empire of Mankind. The Inquisition that did those things is NOT the Keshan Inquisition. It was the private inquisition belonging to a hugely overzealous empress in Slythan."
"The empress was killed by Yaos for that and the Orb that she held was given to the priest. The Orb does not corrupt and only enhances ambition which is not in and of itself evil. The priest was given the Orb but he refused to use the Orb's power to help bring stability and peace to the empire stating fear of corruption. Since he was making preparations to die within a few days and seemed like he wanted to die anyway, Yaos killed him in a non-painful manner so he could be sent to the Human Plane and live in paradise forever and so someone else could claim the Orb and bring peace. The plan didn't work."

It would be formed in the Void, of course! But I will ask you: Where did these books obtain the information? Someone had to write them. And if they speak of the Void as to give you the impression that is antithesis to all that is Good, then how do you know they don't lie? A book is only as honest as it's author. And as for not corrupting anything...you know this how? What if a book was written by one of the Void Beings?

But very well. If you have these books, allow me to read them, and perhaps I will be 'shown the light' of your way of thinking, eh?

They are not directly involved, perhaps, but the trade has to do with their sheer number, and instead of being involved in fighting, they benefit from it by acting as arms dealers and enabling massive loss of life.

I cannot truly tell what their end-goals are, actually. It was called a Watcher; whether that meant it wanted to see more violence, or keep it from growing, I cannot tell.

How do you know the books are not corrupting you themselves? You seem to place a great deal of stock on presumably mortal writings.

You have a point, Azem, as I said. However, in that sense, they are also discouraged from worshiping other gods, are they not? I do not believe I have many followers among your people, but perhaps that is because the values they hold and those I hold rarely intertwine.

I have doubts as to an Orb which only enhances ambition being able to bring stability and peace on it's own.

"'Overzealous' is putting it lightly."

Consider how many lives have been lost in the conflicts between Gruen and Humans already. Consider the deaths caused by the Inquisition crushing cultists that they felt were dangerous or went too far against the Empire. While Yaos and I may not have actively enjoyed causing death, neither one of us were ever so concerned with it that we would let it get in the way of our objectives. Even after Yaos wanted to stop the war and even after he cut back on cult persecution, it was only a little while after that he forcibly claimed moons. Putting aside momentarily whether or not he had a right to them, Yaos said he would use force if anyone went against his wishes. So yes. I was willing to use force just like Yaos was willing.

Death wasn't the objective. It was an unfortunate side effect of me sending the Dragon to disrupt the Empire's forces in the Capital. A situation not too different from how killing wasn't Yaos's objective when he sent out the inquisition on various cults. These were simply side effects of another goal.

The point wasn't the moons it was that Yaos was willing to use force to get what he wanted. Or at least the pretense of force. I highly doubt there have only been a few deaths at the hands of the Empire's inquisitors and yes Yaos made some attempts to make peace or improvements at several points. Considering that I pulled back my forces instead of finishing off what I started, I think it could be said I am not completely heartless myself though.

"It was less her using force to get what she wanted and more her using force to keep what she owned. There have indeed been more than a few dead at the hands of the Inquisitors.

Swords do not cause the act of violence; but a man in fury with a blade in hand is far more likely to kill the target of his anger than a man in fury with no weapon at all.

"Why not? Call him a beserker and throw him to the front line. If he is prone to anger, allow him to express that in a way that supports the greater good. It is neither enabling or heightening violence, it is only profiting from it. There is no reason that would be wrong. We currently have no medical technology, a good hit with a fist is just as likely to kill someone as a good hit with a blade. Especially if that is an Armu, Golem, or other non-human creature doing the punching."

"As for Yaos's Angel, why do I listen to you if you are going to hide away? I should just kill you and be done with it."

Your Tykki can scan me if she wishes; I have not been corrupted by the Void. If the Void is Evil, it is literally my antithesis, and as such I am likely immune or at least resistant to such corruption.

"That is a dangerous belief, though I assume that if you have any obvious void corruption you would be able to hide it."

I have no intention of putting it to the test, believe me. I would much rather be right and never know it, in this case, then be wrong, and find out the hard way. And with how often I've been wrong lately(it really is getting distressing)...

Quote

"Why would Tykki fail to notice something powerful enough to corrupt even a God? I have accounts on all cults, at least I think I do, meaning we have a variety of information to pull from. There are plenty of sources who did not communicate with the void in any way. No, it is likely an effect of the Godly Library, which has always had books from other bubbles."

A good point. Though I mean less in the sense of directly corrupting you, and more in the sense of the books themselves having corrupt data. But this makes sense. I can accept it. Though I do not know why a source which did not have anything to do with the Void would be a reliable source of information on said Void...it would be, ah, like expecting a bowmaker who had never held a sword to be able to tell you how to smith one, no?

Quote

"That is not a bad idea. I will have my mortal servants copy down books on any subject you request, though be aware many of the more useful books still mysteriously vanish in transit."

Unfortunate, but to be expected. Any and all information would be desirable; if books are lost in transit, we might repeat their sending, and in this way, find exactly which ones do so, which may tell us something, no?

We don't?!? But...oh Goodness, I was fooled by my own priests, since they were able to heal! This must be rectified at once!

Actually, I would like to try something. Vaal, would you like to fight a few of my Angels in that plane? I would like to see how they do in combat against a being of significant power.

Speaking of the Void, does anyone know how to contact it? If it's true that they're the ones that killed Yaos and they're split up in different factions, maybe one of the factions that didn't like Yaos' death could help bring her back. So again, how do you contact the Void?"

The Shiny Ones remain the best at presentation for dance-based combat not just for their skill but also for their Shininess. Lette has learned much about dance-based combat from various sessions with them, and they have learned much about more direct methods from Lette. One of them is eating the opponent whole.

"Why? Why did this happen? Why? Oh, Lette. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry."

Vaal siphons all the power he can from Lette's corpse. The most effective method is used, regardless of if it's siphoning, fusing, or eating. He then fuses with Telialas and Zephemural, becoming one with the swords and their Yaos-custom spirits.

Next, he activates the Orbs of Ambition, hopefully becoming to an archangel what a magical girl is to a Human.

((I wonder if I'll become a witch. Probably not, since that's not what the Orbs do, but it's an interesting though.))

EDIT: I do all this in the Human Plane.

(While I'm waiting for the GM's approval of Vaaliel's power, I'll do some more things.)

The Emperor's Fire Sword is retrieved and brought to Vaal. It shall be his fourth weapon. Its soul will be modified to be Vaal-aligned, destroying its loyalties to other gods. If that can't happen, the soul is destroyed.

Minos transforms into his final form and fuses with Tory to gain the Jumper ability.

Lee is told to help manage the Empire with the help of the Controller Angels.

EDIT: Did I mention Vaal fuses with the Orbs as well as activate and use them? Because he does....... MOAR POWAH!

The form of Chyribylta waned as it recedes beyond observation. Whether it had ceased to exist, or if it now works in the shadows, is unknown.

Spoiler: Carmine (click to show/hide)

Name: Carmine
Sphere: Exploration and Science
Primary form/associated symbol: Carmine is depicted as a small, young man with dark hair and skin with glowing crimson eyes, garbed in large, drab sandy hooded robes. His symbol is a foot.
Description/Background: Carmine is the wandering God, forever young as he is reborn in every new journey. Powered by the fires of creation, he seek to shine light on to every facets of the Truth. He knows that the truth cannot be defined, and take joy in the futility of endless advancement. It is said that he can be seen wandering among the mortals in his unmistakable likeness, yet only travelers will recognize him, and only years after the encounter. Wise travelers know to treat him as one of them, and to earn his favor by regaling him with exotic tales from distant lands.

Did none of you notice? Fusil admited he dealt with the void...
At least now I know how he revived. What did you have to promise them in order to have them revive you? Your soul?

And I notice he still will not share any information about the void beings, unlike me and Cim, who shared everything we knew. Could I get a copy of that book on what the void will do Fusil?

And listen to some prayers, which seems to have been missed when I asked earlier.

What is meant by 'things' in 41.00?
Oppose 41.01; While I don't particularly enjoy a god having something that powerful, confiscating it would set a poor precedent in terms of divine property...but please don't go on another murder spree with it, Grauel...please?
Oppose 41.05; We were able to deal with the events involving gods trying to kill other gods thus far, if barely, and I do not feel that having such an entity around would be pleasant, particularly if we don't know how it might interpret it's duties...

Hesitantly Support giving Fusil back his angels; we've seen what he's done with them previously, and he might only be amiable now because he doesn't have his weapons at hand...but they do belong to him...

Tory: "Not just those that worshipped him, but also those who were good in life. If they were good in life and worshipped Yaos, they got eternal paradise. If they were evil and worshipped him, they were punished for a while and then sent to reincarnate. Yaos was doing Good regarding souls way before Darruth showed up, and is still doing so after death, if you ask me. Grauel's worse than a normal genocider because he not only murdered hundreds of thousands, but he's also preventing reincarnation for those who were morally neutral and eternal paradise for those who were Good."

(Actually, all Yaos did was claim what was his by contract. He should only have a sixth of the moons because it was six gods who made them, but since one of the gods is inactive he felt he could have a fifth of the moons and each of the other four gods could also have fifths of the moons. The only 'aggressiveness' Yaos did was saying that anyone who tried to steal his moons would be blocked from entering, told to leave, or if those two options failed, use force to make them leave (ideally in a non-lethal fashion). That to me is more 'defensive' than 'aggressive'.)

It's just that Azem might simply see it as you being a coward and thus call you 'Good' ironically for only doing good when it's easy and convenient when most say that Good is goodest when it's hard to do Good.

"Don't pretend to understand it. I happen to know that he had an entire plane dedicated to torching his own followers for no reason.

I thank you...I apologize for having confused you. Hunger and Greed are not so dissimilar, though they relate to different things. But that does not excuse my mistake. I hope you will forgive me; I have been...troubled, lately, and my focus is split at the moment between a great many things.

I must ask, though, Hunger, what happens to those souls the dragon consumes?

If I have it right, the soul is that which gives someone uniqueness and identity, yes? Was...was that lost?

Honest mistake. I hold no contempt towards you for that.

Regarding souls, I'm not sure. I've never myself consumed souls before and I was unaware that the dragon could or would. I simply ordered it to attack the Empire's forces.
If I were to speculate, I'd say that as all things are made of essence, the Dragon used what it absorbed as a source of empowerment.
If others are particularly interested, I might consider looking into if their souls can be returned but I would assume it is a situation similar to what happened when Yaos's direct essence was taken away. In effect, they likely cannot be brought back.
That said, while it wasn't my intention, neither am I the type to lament the unintended actions of the past. It is done and I will learn from what happened and respect your request for more future consideration on the Dragon's use but I will not dwell on it in guilt.

Quote from: Andres on November 22, 2014, 09:09:48 pm

Tory: "Not just those that worshipped him, but also those who were good in life. If they were good in life and worshipped Yaos, they got eternal paradise. If they were evil and worshipped him, they were punished for a while and then sent to reincarnate. Yaos was doing Good regarding souls way before Darruth showed up, and is still doing so after death, if you ask me. Grauel's worse than a normal genocider because he not only murdered hundreds of thousands, but he's also preventing reincarnation for those who were morally neutral and eternal paradise for those who were Good."

Keep prodding about it and see just how bad I can really be. I called off my attack out of respect and because I considered the damage to mortals unnecessary. That said, it would be an easy matter for me to exterminate the rest of Yaos's angels without any further harm to mortals should you all continue to annoy me. I have no intention of sitting idly while you try and antagonize me in the eyes of the others. If I'm going to be antagonized, I might as well finish the job and look like a bad guy instead of not finishing it and looking like a bad guy.

Edit:
(The moons might have been a silly reason to attack but it wasn't just the moons. There were numerous instances of stuff like that happening and the moons were literally just the last straw. Grauel was breaking down from seeing someone try and claim all that stuff. The Hunger aspect of his sphere is somewhat similar to Yaos's Ambition and Azem's Greed. Except I try and play it out differently like Grauel literally hungers for stuff rather than just wanting it or being ambitious about getting stuff. So effectively it was like someone who is constantly excessively eating in front of a starving person who's trying not to antagonize others by taking too much. Finally the hungry guy snaps and decides to just start taking more food from the other guy eating too much. That's my weird analogy for it.)

A system that allows both to enjoy afterlife and go out again if you desire. It would not be difficult to add reincarnation at will to Yaos system"

I've been rather preoccupied, not to mention I had no idea there was a Shadow Realm...souls in my afterlife are 'punished' only in the sense that they are shown the results of their actions; if those actions were Good, the results will typically be Good. If they were Evil, the results will often induce guilt and sorrow in the soul, which serves to help them understand better what causes Good and what causes Evil. Yes, eventually they are so Good that they may rest if they wish to, but unsurprisingly, those souls that have reached near-perfect Goodness wish to help others reach the same, and so they do not wish for paradise; they wish for work.

Also, to be fair, Fusil, I would care if his followers disappeared. That many people missing would damage the worlds' economic balance, and I would lose the opportunity to convert them to Goodness. I'm having remarkable success among the humans. It pleases me.

Tick 43: Rebirth and ruin

The Light has created a few elephants that are easily angered by violence. This will likely tend to result in a chain reaction of goring and trampling, so they don't really differ from regular elephants much beyond their color.

The Angel of the North is currently touring with a band of traveling Rani and Shadow Ravens. These are a few prayers directed to Neron:
"Can you make it so that Ice Titans spread icy landscape where they roam?"
"Sculptures are boring. What other forms of art can I make with ice?"
"Every time I try to use healing magic on someone, the someone gets even worse."

A number of Golems have been sent to rebuild the remnants of the Human Imperial capital. Some prayers addressed to Khaziraad include the following:
"How might I bind and confine an angel to a structure?"
"The Humans Seem To Be Getting Sick When Our Coworker Made Of Fibrous Rock Stays For Too Long. What Could Be Causing This?"
"I wish I could work on the great castles like the more famous Gremlins."

Serac listens and hears the following prayers:
Ritan: "I found a massive pearl today. What should I do with it?"
Sorae: "I wish these turtles could move faster."
Ritan: "May you bless my son, who will be in a rayce tomorrow!"

Fusil has requested that an angel of the late Yaos stop communicating with the Council.

Vaal has been transformed into Vaaliel.

They are not prevented from worshiping Yaos; indeed, I think it may be contributing to the rate of conversion, since he also spoke of Goodness, even if it was not the ultimate Goodness. Thus, the values instilled in his followers actually aid in their coming over to Goodness as well. Some might certainly be abandoning Yaos, but I get the feeling they're the sort of people who would do so in any case...

That would be wonderful, thank you. I would be more than willing to permanently take you under my wing, but I have doubts as to your wishing to do so. If you can spread the cause of Good, then I can do my best to guarantee your protection and payment.

The job I have for you and it's reward may be more interesting for you than ever. In exchange for capturing some void cultosts alive and delivering them to my archangel in DB plane, I shall grant you the artifact from third puzzle box and the puzzle box itself so that you would have a base of operations. The artifact will alow you to get through puzzle box and surounding facility with ease, while obstructing your enemies.

I did not mean any specific cultists, since Golems have no cultists and any Gremlin void worshipers still worship primarily me, so I have no need for specific cultists. Just grab some cult that you find.
Check how integrating the arena has affected my archangel.

Wondrous! Blessings upon you, my child.
I can not. I have not the power to make another God. Why would you want to be a god of Evil, in any case? I would be forced to oppose you.

I believe that can work. If you still have some combat-ready members of the team, I would actually request some battles against my current angels, for their practice and to see how they fare.

(Thought abaut doing andswers to prayers after geting back to pc but whatever)
Angels are capable of traveling between dimensions, so binding one would require powerfull magic to restrain their ability. It would take great numbers of powerfull and skilled sorcerors to bind such a being. What are you making that would require such effort?

Those made of flesh are suceptible to all sorts of sicnesess induced by certain materials. They have an advantage of self repair that deals with many such sicnesess, though this one, I'm afraid, is permanent. Fibers from your friend are breathed in and start  acumulating in lungs, inhibiting their breathing. I would recomend colecting such knowlege in cooperation with Human scientists for nationwide use to prevent further deaths


I have little doubt in your building ability, so I would recomend joining a group of builders that are working on a castle. If they refuse you for some reason, you could band up with some others who are not doing much at the moment and build a castle entirely for yourselves. Building for practicality is good, but comstruction for hobby is just as great.

(God damn it! I wasn't getting any email notifications saying that there were updates. Time to start playing again, I guess.)

Tory goes to the DBP and grabs the Strange Knife from near Vaal's corpse and gives it to Lee. (I am very glad I chose not to fuse it with him.)

She goes to an Imperial armoury and grabs some light armour, a blackjack, two short swords, and a sweet-looking (but short) cape.

After the equipment grab, Tory goes to the Keshan Inquisition to see if they have any live Void cultists in prison. She tells them to capture as many Void cultists alive as opposed to dead and to give the locations of any Void cults they find that they consider too powerful to take on by themselves. She then does a backflip to appease Varee.

EDIT: "Hey Fuso! You mind giving a sister a decent sword? Doesn't have to be fancy or magical, just well made. A longsword is preferable."

Happy rebirth tick!

Also, I Propose that Azem's sphere of Greed be changed to Generosity. He's really not very greedy at all. :P
Furthermore I think I should gain the sphere of Desire.

Edit:

It doesn't even have to be Generosity if someone has a better idea but Azem is really not greedy. Not that it's a bad thing but I'm no longer convinced that the sphere is appropriate for him.

Yaos checks the council footage to see what the actual hell happened during the attack on Strike Team Fusil. Who was the one who actually killed Fusil?

"Hey Grauel, this isn't meant to sound antagonistic or anything but do you know of any ways I can get you back for attacking my capital? Yes, I know that sounds pretty antagonistic but you yourself said we should behave in an 'eye for an eye' fashion. I can't just go slaughter a Gruen city because that would break Council Rules and also because I'm personally quite against genocide."
"But seriously, you wouldn't hold it against me if I got back at you for that right? Again, I don't want to antagonise you but I think we should at least talk about this."

Yaos renounces the claims on Konva 12, 13, 14, and 15. Konva 12 to 30 and the thirty moons on the other gas giants are entirely unclaimed and up for grabs.

You made a deal with the void, so that the plan was for them to kill Yaos when you made your grand reveal, thus enabling you to blame him and claim he got involved with the void, keeping both party's hands from getting too dirty.

I think Azem would have to agree to it actually. Getting the idea out there probably wouldn't hurt though. I really think Greed fits him less than Wealth. He just doesn't act greedy.

Examples. His followers are greedy but he himself gives out shinies rather than hoarding them. He told his followers to relinquish part of their monopolies to gives humans more of a chance to get a foothold. He's given essence to Yaos and helped Yaos at his own expense while gaining nothing but friendship. Essentially he's more like a rich doting grandfather than the greedy old miser that most would consider associated with Greed.

@Yaos
I still think attacking cities should be fair game since it was an important aspect of our war that never happened (aka destroying cities was literally part of the war game mechanics and necessary for victory).

That said, I attacked your angels, so attacking mine would seem to be a sensible form of retribution. That of course assumes you think you're capable of launching an attack on them in the Hunger Plane. I guess you could try and ambush them or the Lords of Hunger whenever you find them in the mortal plane.

I probably wouldn't care too much unless my Dragon or the Devourer died and I don't think you're really capable of taking them on anyway. Just don't get too excessive unless you want a counterattack to happen. I technically only killed one angel.

Yeah and the Goldfather is not at all greedy.

So that's what regulars meant. I guess I really only noticed the named one's death.

Anyway go ahead. The Lords of Hunger won't drop easily though. I'm pretty sure they're tougher than regular Angels. They cost me more if I recall correctly.

I'm not saying I'm not allowed to seek retribution but the odds of me caring enough to do so are pretty slim if you just attacked a couple angels. I'd consider us more or less on even terms and wouldn't see any particular reason to escalate things more.

(Capturing them involved laying siege which reduced city size and population over time. Effectively it would have eventually had a similar effect if I ever had to siege the Human Capital with Gruen forces. It just would have taken a lot longer.)

"Your fist sentence makes little since. The books get lost for an unknown reason, which is to be expected when I have mortal servants do the work for me. It is possible that we may "redo" the library's stash with essence, like how they got here in the first place, now that it has a suitable guardian.

In any case, now that I had the idea it is probably a good one to go with. I propose that we refill the Library's stolen stock of books on the void, using the same tactic that filled the library in the first place.

As for the Jellyrolls, I have no clue how to explain that. Why would I? I was in prison at the time, in any case. I don't think someone who knew what was going on could explain it, let alone me."

Simple. Because the Void has to agree to.

And, of course, should I die following these statements by way of a Void assailant, I can tell you that it will be, in all likelihood, proof of your hypocrisy and guilt.

"Oppose. I have three problems with it but they should be easy to fix. First is what defines a 'wicked' person. Is it someone who's just not pure of heart? Someone who's just a little evil?Instead, let's do the dust thing if the person is at least one of the following things: pure evil, a genocider, a godly a Voidly force attempting to steal it - including Darruth, just in case he's actually the god of Lies or Disguises or something." ;)
"The second is where the cave is. There are very few, if any, people who have hearts of pure good. That leaves the options for the wielder limited. Then, anyone who goes after it would probably just die in the cave, and that's if any of those people have even heard of the sword or think they can do good without it. It should be in a peaceful grove that everyone knows about and should not be able to be moved except by those pure of heart."
"My third problem is that 'pure of heart' should refer to someone who's 'purely good' instead. What if someone's heart is pure evil? Their heart would be pure and would be able to use it, but at the same time they wouldn't because they're dust. It might end up breaking Part 5 of Anath's Code."

Wrong. From what you happen to claim to know. You still do not have proof for any of this.

And Yaos, do not think this means I believe you to be innocent, either. You have both committed misdeeds, and you may both yet be guilty of conspiracy to kill gods, in addition to the attempts and making dealings with forces that may or may not mean only harm for all of us.

Tick 44: Remorse

A band of Star Elves have taken it upon themselves to contain, keep, and guard a puzzle box crated by Khaziraad.

Khaziraad's archangel seems to have become much tougher after having integrated much of the arena.

Darruth:
"When I grow up and become big and strong!"
The food bank proprietor is currently expanding to nearby towns.
"I just felt like I wanted to become a god of something."

Khaziraad:
"I am making something I would not want the other gods to hear about."
"That Explains A Lot. What Weak Creatures The Fleshy Ones Are."
"I'll go at once! I think they want another castle next to that large, scenic river."

Grauel: The Devourer seems indifferent about fighting other archangels.

Azem:
"I want to see that strange power."
"Hooray! We shall conduct a Golden Feast this evening!"
"For some food, of course."

A Ritan has donated a massive pearl for a temple of Serac. Many flock to it simply to see it on display.

A young Raycer has won! His home town is holding a large festival in Serac's honor.

Some of the godless have converted to Serac.

Nuparhi, Angela, Darruth's Guardian angels, their Charges, the Palatine Archanjel, are fighting the arena somewhat ineffectually.

Serac:
"The island turtles breed and grow too slowly for that."

Tory has retrieved a Strange Knife and given it to Lee and found a cult of Want who serve their Void Being by giving food and supplies to their community.

The chain of gambling houses is spreading quite nicely along with much crime. Some prayers directed to Varee are as follows:
"Make me Mystic Snow!"
"Jelly rolls! Jelly roll jelly roll JELLY ROLL jelly roll!"
"I wish my neighbors would turn into fire randomly."

Ice Titans are now slowly expanding the snow line in their wanderings.

Neron:
"But the only other color of ice we have is yellow!"
"No. I'll go to the nearest priest and show them what's wrong and see if they can help."

Checking of the Council footage reveals only that Cim, Serac, and Yaos were in some way responsible but fails to reveal a more specific culprit.

Neron has created a sword with the power to kill wicked people attempting to use it. It has been cast into a dark, dangerous cave. This is opposed by Yaos.

Serac has been convicted of having killed Fusil and will be sentenced to being sealed for an as-yet undetermined number of ticks.

Administrative:
An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Council-produced creations are not to be tampered with without council approval. Failure to comply will result in the automated initiation of a trial.

03.01: Only deities supporting a proposal enter the Essence pool

Since Azem is willing to switch his sphere to Wealth, I'd like to claim the sphere Greed in the form of Desire if that's possible.

Also spread specialized Gruen spores onto the various moons. They are not being claimed by me and others are free to populate them as they wish.

I'm not claiming them. You are free to put humans on any moon that has Gruen on it and anyone else is likewise allowed to put any creations they want on any moons. That's different from what you wanted which was that certain moons be exclusively human.

So no, I'm not being a hypocrite. I'm treating the moons as public property just like the planets are.

Maybe you should try clarifying with me before getting angry. You just said you wanted to start being on better terms with certain other gods didn't you?

Any attempts to do so are stupid, misguided, and going to get someone under you killed. We do not need to claim it, as we live there. There are more then two dozen Armu capable of space flight, living in space, and able to go on the moons.

Ill say it again, these moons belong to no man and any attempts to claim them for you and only you will get whatever you attempt to do it with killed."

Propose that if a god support a proposal and the proposal passes, that the god has to pay a maximum amount of the god's current Essence minus 2, so that by supporting a proposal too hastily the god does not become dormant.

Propose the automatic propagations of races to 2500 assuming the race survives for a whole Tick. Gods can choose to opt-out of propagation on a case-by-case basis.
"That means, everyone," she winks at Fusil when she says that, "That if you don't want to spend Essence on propagation you don't have to, and if you do want to, it's cheaper for you to do so."

"Oppose. I have three problems with it but they should be easy to fix. First is what defines a 'wicked' person. Is it someone who's just not pure of heart? Someone who's just a little evil?Instead, let's do the dust thing if the person is at least one of the following things: pure evil, a genocider, a godly a Voidly force attempting to steal it - including Darruth, just in case he's actually the god of Lies or Disguises or something." ;)
"The second is where the cave is. There are very few, if any, people who have hearts of pure good. That leaves the options for the wielder limited. Then, anyone who goes after it would probably just die in the cave, and that's if any of those people have even heard of the sword or think they can do good without it. It should be in a peaceful grove that everyone knows about and should not be able to be moved except by those pure of heart."
"My third problem is that 'pure of heart' should refer to someone who's 'purely good' instead. What if someone's heart is pure evil? Their heart would be pure and would be able to use it, but at the same time they wouldn't because they're dust. It might end up breaking Part 5 of Anath's Code."

"A wicked person would be defined as a person that would use the sword to cause pain to innocent for either no reason or to gain something from them. I do agree with the idea that instead of turning to dust they just cant pick it up. The whole dust thing was a bit harsh. I don't like the suggestion for it to be in a peaceful grove that just seems a bit boring and the whole point of the sword is to inspire stories of heroes."

Tick 45: Development

All of Fusil and STF's belongings have been returned to them, including a sack of oddly shaped metal pellets sold to Neron.

Gruen spores have been spread on various moons in the gas giant systems. Despite their specialization, many of them die from the harsh conditions and random negative actions by meddling gods, but the survivors have adapted well to the near-vacuum, random teleportation, and extreme cold and have begun forming some early villages.

(I'll be needing a link to the post or PM for when Lette and Vaal were created. I can't seem to find it.)

A network of gambling dens started by the luckiest man on Keshan has spread far and wide.

A Rani unhealer's problem has not yet been resolved. It seems that the local priests know little about the cause of the problem.

(Darruth: How much is too much?)

(I interpreted the proposal for propagating sapient races to 2 500 as a one-time thing. Would you rather have it be automated? This may result in abuse and negligent deicide.)

Azem has given the Wood Elves three emeralds of Life.

The Light has created a massive personal spirit plane for beings of light. There is what is equivalent to a planet and a sun in it.

Neron has tasked Merwen with leading a band of his most loyal followers far to the north, where there is a city of red stone.

Joha has created a shapeshifting angel with the power to shapeshift easily and accurately.

This update's constellations are the Hammer and Gravestone.

I check the Divine Library for any knowledge on killing beings that possess your body. Like, if a god or a ghost or something invaded someone's body, how would the possessed kill the possessor or eject it from themselves?

"Stop right there Khaziraad! Unlike the monsters these guys seem sapient. For all we know, every member of their race is in that army. Destroying it would be tantamount to genocide! Find out if there's more of them elsewhere, then slaughter them if there are."

(Are you sure your guys can capture five hundred of them? It seems a helluvalot. Even for angels.)

No. My argument was based on that I helped pay for creating humans and that I shouldn't be denied access to them in a manner I felt benefited my sphere. I was annoyed that you were claiming rights over humans exclusively and directly attacking my followers based off of an action my followers took against humans that weren't even worshiping you at the time. I further stated that your direct attacks against my followers might escalate into me doing the same.

So... again no... Back then my actions stemmed from not wanting to be denied access to something I helped pay for. Right now they stem from not wanting to lose anything I paid for and also because I might gain something from helping someone else fend off these things. I'd say my actions are pretty consistent.

"I corrected them on my name simply because I want to make sure their worship is directed to me and so I don't miss out on getting Essence while they're around. Selfish, greedy, but also harmless and non-malevolent (towards anyone). I told them to stay away from my friends because they're my friends. If I tell them not to attack everyone they might not be so willing to answer questions willingly. Besides, they're my friends. Friends look out for each other."

Khaziraad: Your archangel strikes the ground three times in quick succession. There is s a massive hydrogen explosion that destroys thousands of the stoNe meN, but more keep marching through, oblivious to the recent explosion. Your archangel is slightly dazed from the explosion.

(Andres: Image not appearing: I'll see if I can find any good image hosting services, but you can save the war site map to mark 16, 22, 23, and 29 as destroyed.)

Yaos:
Stop moving for as long as possible: "We shall do as you commaNd, GReat Y'aos!" They keep moving and fighting

Your MIND CRUSH has no effect on the waRRioRs.

They seem to have no souls.

Your training just started a few hours ago. You know marginally more than when you started.

The Ninja have destroyed the foundry. The stoNe cReatuRes continue appearing and marching out.

Some of the Humans at the capital reluctantly get out. They fail to see how the stoNe meN are a danger in any way.

Azem: The stoNe waRRioRs ignore Rubin and Sappira.

I use the power of nebulous time and the fact that I'd done training before I was killed to increase my fighting ability! I also copy+paste some memories of my angels into my brain to get gud at fighting.

When I say 'Stop' you are to immediately halt all of your movements and you are not to resume until I say 'Alvin's hot juice box' three times. Stop.

Lette goes to destroy warriors, focusing on those closest to towns.

Lee starts blasting them from afar with magic.

Ignatius is brought in to set up walls between the Stone Warriors and other towns.

Tory starts killing them with her swords.

I go down and start having at them with my longsword while being protected by my Imperial armour. I also use some chi and magic to practice those skills too.

Vaal will make sure I do not get killed but will otherwise stay out of the battle.

Palatino and the Guardian Angels are to setup a perimeter far out from Khaziraad's Archangel and protect outsiders from the blast with their powers as best they can. Afterwards, they'll move in to help mop up, as Khaziraad's Archangel probably won't be in all that great a shape.

Tick 46: Invaders!

Spoiler: Invaders! (click to show/hide)

(http://i.imgur.com/m5HR1dE.png)

A Gruen village has been razed!

Yaos has learned a little bit more about dance-based combat.

The stoNe people respond to Yaos' command to stop by chanting "Yes, we will follow youR oRdeRs exactly GReat Y'aos, K Night of AmbitioN!" They again fail to stop.

Lette begins destroying the warriors closest to towns, Lee blasts them with magic, Ignatius helps with building walls between the stoNe waRRioRs and other towns, Tory starts killing them by sword, and even Y'aos joins in. They do not retaliate, but they do not seem to diminish either. Vaal stands guard. A loNe stoNe RegulaR stands and says "If it is foR you, I will eveN accept Death GReat Y'aos! It is all paRt of youR MysteRious plaN, GReat Y'aos!"


The Humanos have been released. The moNsters stop around the Humanos.

The Hummingbirds have begun evacuations to the western coast. The Philosopher watches as the stoNe meN continue their invasion and ponders what sapience actually means.

Khaziraad's archangel has converted 1kg of hydrogen to energy. The resulting explosion severely damages the archangel and leaves a large crater and throws up a thick dust cloud that fails to settle even after days, but the hammer remains intact. Fortunately, practically all of the people nearby were evacuated in time, and Cim's assistance in bleeding off a significant portion prevented possible extinction events. Unfortunately, this will still affect the planet's weather for quite some time.

(The Light: Planes in the spirit dimension cannot be made corporeal.)

The Light has created and sealed away Ezatacetl, a poweful flying serpent of drain.

Jelly rolls rain on the Human Capital. The stoNe meN still there wear them as hats.

3 Ice Titans have attempted to go south to build walls around the northernmost towns on the war map. Unfortunately, it is too hot and dry for them to stay comfortably, so they simply begin building around cities to the north and not visible on the map.

Palatino and the Guardian Angels take good care of the stoNe soldieRs around Khaziraad's archangel.

The Rani unhealer is sure he has not done anything with Void cults aside from buy a nice looking tunic sold by a Void cultist of Y'auuf or something near the temple.

Inform all Gruen communities what's happening so that they may mobilize defences.

To the Gruen
These stone warriors just insulted the Gruen species by assaulting a village with so little resistance. Further defeats would simply add to this insult. If any wish to give a demonstration of why the Gruen are not to be trifled with, feel free to mobilize and feast on these upstart creations.

For Gruen Unification, reform the strategy being implemented by the Lords of Hunger so that individual Gruen communities each have their own semi independent form of government as a compromise but that they all still report to a high Gruen council of the strongest most devoted Priests on large matters and to keep them updated on regional affairs. This is more of an effort to keep the Gruen connected as a species than to enforce rigid governmental policies.

It seems that reports of the razing of the Gruen village have been exaggerated. The Gruen and Grauel's angels put up a heavy resistance against the stoNe soldieRs and managed to drive them off with significant losses. Many Gruen communities have, in light of recent events, agreed to joining the Gruen confederacy, transferring some decision-making power to a higher level of government.

Azem has informed the Mountwyrms of something.

Khaziraad: The archangel seems to have lost much of its front-facing portion (i.e. the side with the largest openings). Your angels begin repairs and fortification, and your archangel happily devours the new fortifications much to the dismay of your angels.

Yaos: "We shall do as you commaNd, GReat Y'aos!" There is no alphabet singing. Maybe the Humans use an abjad, an abugida, a syllabary, or a logographic writing system instead? :P

Serac has created the remaining trees. The landscape has become more interesting, especially at night. Perhaps the more cold-resistant *inverse illumination trees would make for an impressive spectacle beyond the equivalent to the Arctic circle when the sun sets for the last time for a few months.

The child hands you a few coins and takes the Pastry. A disheveled Sorae swoops in and asks for a bluish yellow tasting Hardboiled Jelly Roll Rainbow.

Nothing seems to be creating the stoNe meN. (This may be a big hint.. ;))

Since Yaos has nothing better to do, she provides an initial definition of power levels:

A power level is a representation (with varying degrees of accuracy) of the sum total of a person's 'physical' ability. This includes normal physical stuff (strength, speed, endurance, etc.) but also includes things like magical ability, the strength of the soul, chi-channelling ability, and other physical factors not relating to wisdom or intelligence.

Quick version:
Some strange stone wariors apeared out of semingly nowhere and razed three towns. They did three things I absolutely hate, namely 1)Raze large ammount af structures for no reason at all, 2)Destroyed a great number of Golems and 3)They look like caricatures of Golems, and therefore may damage reputation of Golems among mortals. To express my hate for all they are and represent I deployed archangel armed with a nuke on a stick. Yaos is involved to an undiscernable degree with all of this, and I am having a hard dime deciding wether I shoul pity or smite him. First nuke was deployed, desroying great number of stone soldiers and damaging my archangel. When I find out how many Stone soldiers remain in their army, I may deploy more and larger nukes. It was found out that all Stone soldiers are streaming from Human capital. Void is probably involved in all of this.

The entirety of the universe as we can truly understand it, our Bubble, is microscopic in comparison to even a single Void being; leaving aside the ramifications of trying to destroy nothingness itself at best, or the container holding our universe in at worst, I'm fairly certain no amount of Gods could destroy the Void. If it was possible, why wouldn't it have been done already?

For now, let us go off of the assumption that Yaos did in fact cause the stoNe meN to appear, but not intentionally, as they claim to have been created when Yaos was revived, possibly as a side-effect of reviving something which cannot be revived.

Pretending it is otherwise is just some idiotic belief that just because it is a law, it must be 'good'."

Quote

We have only your word that they are Void-tainted, and you withhold so much information that we no reason whatsoever to trust you or your word.

"I do not know why everyone keeps saying that. Is it hard to check yourself? If I say there is a howitzer behind you, and you do not believe me, all you need to do is turn around and look for yourself. Use Yaos's void detectors if you wish, removing all bias from me. Those things are void tainted. Cim even said so in his own investigations."

In fact, I notice that neither a Seppo nor Armu town has been razed by these invaders, nor does it seem as though you are sending your own angels to fight them, which is highly out of keeping with your character, since you are so apt to use force, even when unnecessary. Instead, you leave it to the rest of us to hold back, in what seems like an attempt to weaken us.

The law was preventing you from committing murder, and we still know not who killed you or how; they have been punished, regardless, I believe, in that Yaos is at a fraction of his former strength and no longer has the capacity to rule over Humans directly. They held you in check when you attempted to murder Cim. And yes, it is in fact a democracy, rather than the god of Weapons deciding that force of arms should be the way to run things.

And indeed, I hope to check. I certainly hope you weren't lying. And if you were telling the truth, which I believe is likely the case in this specific instance, it makes no difference as to who made them; the Void itself might be making them, but even if you did not initiate these invaders, you are certainly benefiting from them, and doing what seems like nothing to stop them.

You might as well say all it outlaws is saying you are going to kill someone, as it fails at everything else. My murderer has not been punished at all, you still let Yaos stand on my corpse despite all the facts pointing to him killing me!

Quote from: Rolepgeek on November 17, 2014, 10:14:22 pm

Darruth is silent for a moment, as he processes the information, even after having returned his awareness to the Godly Realm. Then, something snaps.

What the fuck is this shit? I stop watching you deities for half-a-tick and a second shitstorm pops up? This is utterly godsdamned ridiculous.

After practically choking on his words and fury, he takes a moment to compose himself, though it's quite evident that what was snapped has not been unsnapped.

So let me figure something out. Let me make sure I know exactly what's happening right now.
You lot; Cim, Yaos, and Serac, lead an attack on the angels that were supposed to keep Fusil from dying while he was in stasis and we collected information about the events leading up to his assault on Cim
A Harbinger appeared out of nowhere, I have no idea what the fuck those things do
Fusil died during the attack on his guardian angels, and the council surveillance reports that the three of you murdered him.
The three of you, primarily Yaos, try to actually gain some shit out of this whole affair, and Yaos seems to be not only staying out of the trial involving him like his comrades are doing, but is trying to get as much power as possible from this shit-fest, it seems.

For Goodness' fucking sake, people. This is bullshit. And I am very, very disappointed in you, Yaos.

So, allow me to demonstrate, one at a time, why you guys fucked up. Whether you should be punished or not is a different matter.
A. We could have continued to keep Fusil sealed indefinitely, so it wasn't like he was an actual threat at the moment.
B. WHERE IS YOUR GODSDAMNED PROOF THAT HE PLANNED ANY OF THE SHIT YOU SAID HE DID? He claimed the exact same thing of you three when he attacked Cim! And this gives so much more credence to those claims. And don't try to bullshit this. I am the God of Goodness, and even if Truth isn't directly under Good, it's so very damnably close that I can assure you it will be trivial to ensure you can't lie to the Council on this.
C. If I fire a catapult at a castle that you are living in, and say it's justified because I wasn't attacking you, per se, it's still a bullshit argument. In addition to, Fusil tried using the exact same argument to get out of being in trouble with the council for attacking Cim by claiming that Tykki was the one to attack. And guess what? That was bullshit too. Besides which, they were bound to protect him, so if you attacked them and something else killed him because they were dead or busy, you caused his death, indirectly or not.
D. Doing this shit in secret, rather than waiting for the council to vote on whether or not to execute him. That just makes you look bad.

And now, Yaos, allow me to demonstrate all of the flaws in your argument.
First off, fuck analogies. We're Gods. Mortal analogies don't apply. And shut up for a second about me using one earlier, fuck that one too, then.
Second off, there is a fucking difference between 'it's not specifically illegal' and 'legal rights'. 'Legal rights' are specifically outlined as your being allowed to do them. 'Not specifically illegal' can still be against the spirit of the law, which is the important part here. Nobody but you gives a shit about the letter of the law. And maybe Cim, but he's kinda obligated to do it so it's not his fault.
Third, for causing the wrongful death of a god based on trumped up conspiracy charges that you tried to carry out in secret? You don't deserve shit. In fact, I would argue that you might even deserve to have some shit taken away as punishment. YOU CAUSED THE FUCKING DEATH. STOP BULLSHITTING, DAMNIT.
Fourth, actually, fine. Let's try an analogy. Your grenade blew up in the guy's house. The house collapses. The guy dies. STILL YOUR FAULT.
Fifth, your bullshit attempts at legal grounds, and trying to sue the Council for trying to stop you from breaking the spirit of the law, means you basically just lost all claim to legal credibility in terms of being allowed to represent yourself. Get Cim to do it instead; he'll be better anyway.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm pissed. This is what happens when you get a God of Goodness truly angry. Would you like me to continue? Or have you finished with the bullshit, and I can return to my usual self? I'd like to return to my usual self. Please stop bullshitting us? It's not working.

You were imprisoned for attempted murder.

Yaos would have been imprisoned, but then he died, and we ended up being distracted by that mess.
Cim and Serac would have been punished as well, but again, we ended up being distracted, and then you returned, and basically said you were fine with it.

Yaos died several times, and lost one of his spheres, as a result of his crimes. Do you still desire his death solely because the two of you disagree?

Before I respond, I'll say this: you were, in fact, trying to kill Cim, and the response the Council got because you broke the law meant you were unable to. It prevented you from murdering. As much as I wish I could, I cannot force you to see reason. *sigh* They work quite well, if one looks at it from the perspective of Talonis Rex: You attempted to kill someone, or several someones, and they, in turn, ended up killing you. Very few of the facts actually point to Yaos intentionally killing you; most things you refer to as facts are assumptions and hearsay; most of it made by yourself. When you are ready to use reason and sense, rather than wild conjecture and outlandish claims, to support your case, come back. Until then, we are done with this argument.

And you've seen how difficult it can be to get to that point. Besides which, I have my suspicions that if 40% of the council opposed something, and the other 60% supported it, there would be a lot more conflict than a simple vote, in the end.

But I have multiple ways to respond to you, here, so let's look at all of them.
It is a matter of strength, just not brute strength (sometimes, even, it's that too; the might of the council). Strength of diplomacy, strength of alliances, and most of all, strength in numbers.
How surprising, that the God of Weapons would want things to be solved in the way that benefits him most. How very unexpected.
Democracy and mob rule are surprisingly similar; it is in fact, a democracy. It's simply one that doesn't benefit you, and so you dislike it.

You're leaving them behind to cower around your cities, in the hopes that should we fail, you might last another day or two against the tide of statues. Thirdly, by your logic, I would in fact be doing the most of all, because my towns will never fall, because I have no towns. Fourthly, it is a concerted effort, not an individualistic protection of towns, and thus you are, again, refraining from helping us, in the hopes that we can take care of it without yourself having to lift a finger.

(Now I remember what I was going to do.)

The Imperial Human army marches out to fight the Stone Men and prevent them from reaching further town. The Humanos Regiments and the Paladins will help in this regard.

The Ninjas will work to find out where specifically they are appearing from inside the capital.

The Inquisition is told to bring in as many Void cultists alive as possible and to interrogate them on their knowledge of the Stone Men, their creation, ways to prevent their creation, and ways to actually control the bloody things. They are told to keep all but the most dangerous cultists in custody afterwards so that Yaos may trade them for the Puzzlebox.

A regiment of the Imperial Army along with Lee will begin evacuating the entire capital of Humans.

The Imperial Ikakus are asked to start blasting the Stone Men as they march out from the capital but with explicit instructions to remain alive and retreat if they have to. Tory, Yaos (wielding an Orb of Ambition), Lette, and Vaal will help the Ikakus in this regard.

Propaganda starring Yaos, Serac, and Fusil is released. The propaganda shows Yaos in a heroic light, proposing that all the gods unite in their fight against the Void. Fusil is depicted as a Grouchy McScrooge type character opposing everything Yaos suggests. Serac is depicted as demanding Yaos' death for conspiring with the Void while attempting to cover up a Void temple that he - Serac - made by throwing a blanket over it. Both Fusil and Serac are depicted as shadowy figures contrasting to Yaos being covered in light. They are also made to look uglier while Yaos is made to look more handsome and heroic.

Vartija, angel of Cim, has been slain by the concerted effort of STF. Vartija's equipment seems somewhat duller and less powerful now without any visual change. Tykki has made an attempt on Cim's life for 2E of damage.

... I thought he did his time? That's why he took so long to come back. And you were willing to let dying serve as Yaos's punishment...

Hello Fusil! Welcome back! Don't attack any gods this time, okay?
And it was hardly three armies, it was Yaos's army, a handful of Cim's angels and two of my angels.

If it is confirmed Yaos killed Fusil, does that mean me and Cim are not able to be punished for murder?

"I am fine letting you off if you help punish Cim, who had stunned most of my Angels, and help me avoid the foolish wrath of the God of Greed. You seem to have genuinely been tricked into this. Also, you can keep the 'egg', your Angels seem to like it."

I was wrong about Cim. But then again, you did declare your desire to kill him, and you are saying that Yaos is the one who killed you, not either of the others.

Quote

"He killed me. Him dying twice because of that is his own fault, he needs to be punished more. The fact that he just summoned an army that slaughtered at the very least thousands is proof of that, is it not?"

Boy, you sure do love presenting assumptions and theories as facts! Let's say he did kill you. We have no proof that you didn't kill him when you revived; as in, make a deal with the Void or some other convoluted scheme that killed him when you were revived. Leaving that aside for the moment, you tried to kill two gods, without the same provocation Yaos and Cim had. Serac is iffy. But all you got was imprisonment for six ticks, while Yaos was dead for longer than that, I believe. Should you be punished more, then?

Quote

"You don't know what my Angels are doing. I am keeping my followers protected. That is my duty. Anything I do over that is just going above and beyond. I don't see your Angels or races on the firing line..."

That may be partially because there isn't a firing line, because we aren't using guns. However, let's look at a more recent instant replay.

A massive army has razed a Golem town (16 on map), a Mountwyrm town (23 on map), and a Hummingbird town (22 on map)!

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 25, 2014, 01:04:56 am

Khaziraad: Your archangel integrates the enchanted walls and strikes the ground three times rapidly. The ground and the stoNe people on it turn to coal, glass, and various local kinds of stone. There are still many around hitting the archangel.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 25, 2014, 02:22:53 am

Khaziraad: Your archangel strikes the ground three times in quick succession. There is s a massive hydrogen explosion that destroys thousands of the stoNe meN, but more keep marching through, oblivious to the recent explosion. Your archangel is slightly dazed from the explosion.

The Ninja have destroyed the foundry. The stoNe cReatuRes continue appearing and marching out.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 25, 2014, 09:46:06 pm

Lette begins destroying the warriors closest to towns, Lee blasts them with magic, Ignatius helps with building walls between the stoNe waRRioRs and other towns, Tory starts killing them by sword, and even Y'aos joins in. They do not retaliate, but they do not seem to diminish either. Vaal stands guard. A loNe stoNe RegulaR stands and says "If it is foR you, I will eveN accept Death GReat Y'aos! It is all paRt of youR MysteRious plaN, GReat Y'aos!"

The Humanos have been released. The moNsters stop around the Humanos.

Khaziraad's archangel has converted 1kg of hydrogen to energy. The resulting explosion severely damages the archangel and leaves a large crater and throws up a thick dust cloud that fails to settle even after days, but the hammer remains intact. Fortunately, practically all of the people nearby were evacuated in time, and Cim's assistance in bleeding off a significant portion prevented possible extinction events. Unfortunately, this will still affect the planet's weather for quite some time.

Palatino and the Guardian Angels take good care of the stoNe soldieRs around Khaziraad's archangel.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 26, 2014, 12:02:33 am

It seems that reports of the razing of the Gruen village have been exaggerated. The Gruen and Grauel's angels put up a heavy resistance against the stoNe soldieRs and managed to drive them off with significant losses. Many Gruen communities have, in light of recent events, agreed to joining the Gruen confederacy, transferring some decision-making power to a higher level of government.

(Serac: -1E)
Serac: You have frozen the gates of the Human Imperial capital shut and gone into the foundry to break things. It seems the activity level in the foundry has decreased mostly because of a lack of metal. Despite Angela and Nuparhi's best efforts, the stoNe waRRioRs continue pouring out from various ruined sections in the city wall.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on November 26, 2014, 02:47:17 am

"hahahahahaha yet another god council proposes to destroy us any guesses what happened to the last nineteen that tried"

The stoNe meN have begun escaping the capital's walls using ladders. A force of stoNe waRRioRs has begun attacking Khaziraad's archangel furiously.

Yaos: The waRRioRs chant "We shall do as you commaNd, GReat Y'aos!" There is no self-termination going on.

At almost literally every step, we have been trying to stop them. You haven't. The evidence is clear.

Quote

"That was an outright lie. You where not even around for it, assuming you had any idea what was going on is simply insulting."

Notice the time stamps. Besides which, due to the instant replay, I wouldn't even have to be there in any case. I can just check the replays.

Quote

"I did not, until I was charged with it. Then they killed me without facing charges. This system is broken, and you are an absulute idiot not to see that. Any mortal could tell you this was a bad law."

The instant replays say otherwise. And they would have faced charges; indeed, they still might, though their sentence will probably be reduced due to the possibility that they felt they were acting in self-defense; you did try to kill 2 out of the three, after all.

Quote

"What? Are you an absolute moron? You can try searching yourself. All facts lead to Yaos killing me. You have not disproved this, and I have brought forth evidence for it. You main dismissal of this is that it was me bringing it up. Because that somehow makes it wrong? Yaos brought together a group to attack my jail cell. I die. Yaos gets some essence income. When I return, the void kills Yaos because the deal was broken. All these are facts that you could check with little effort. These are hardly wild and outlandish claims."

The ones that are facts don't point solely to Yaos killing you, and the rest aren't facts. We don't know why the Void killed Yaos. So we don't know that, actually. Yaos attacked your angels, and while this is still despicable, it is not quite the same. It could be that he killed you. He died multiple times in return. Besides, weren't you the one talking about innocent until proven guilty?
You are a biased party; there is an inherent conflict of interest in you presenting your interpretation of the facts, and thus we cannot act solely off of it. Nor can we act solely off of Yaos, as he is also a biased party.

Quote

"This has happened many times before without open conflict. You have proven once again to be a horrible judge of character, basing assumptions on things you know nothing about on stereotypes."

Actually I was basing it on the conflict that happened with the council convicting you of attempted murder; you drove one council member into dormancy and launched a last-ditch effort to kill another one. If 40% of the council was violently opposed to an action, because, say, it would kill them, I have little doubt that the current issues would be trivial in comparison.

Quote

"Strength in numbers is just another way to say mob rule, when applied to law."

*rolls eyes* it's not just applied to law. Cim and Serac together were able to keep your angels from doing anything. The council as a whole does wield a remarkable amount of power.

Quote

"The way things are solved now ends up with me being killed, my killers walking free, and some halfwit trying to lecture me on the law. Of course I want something that benefits me more than that."

You want a system that solves all it's issue with brute force, because that's what you are best at. You want something where you can always have the final say. And in all honesty, all of us do. Democracy is a compromise, because not everyone can have the final say all the time, by definition.

Quote

"Doesn't benefit me? It killed me. For no reason. If mortals had done this, lynching a man in prison, it would be called a great injustice. But your opinion of me has clouded your already poor judgment. The current laws murdered me. My murderers received no punishment. This. Is. Broken."

No. The laws prevented you from murdering someone. As a result, you were killed by individuals taking advantage of the situation. That is not a lynching, that is an assassination. And it was a great injustice. Almost as great an injustice as you attempting to kill two gods because one insulted you and the other tried to keep him from being killed, and was opportunely weak.

Quote

"I am your elder, superior to you in every way. Is that not enough reason to show respect?"

There's a short answer and a long answer to this. The short answer is: No. It's not.
The long answer is: Your age doesn't matter, and I've achieved the same size of follower base as you, approximately, in addition to the fact that you are not superior to me in every way. At all. Certainly not morally. Nor in terms of diplomacy; look at the number of gods opposing you, and look at the number of gods opposing me. Finally, I am actually showing you a great deal more respect than you're showing me. So perhaps that's just one more way I'm superior; I can engage in verbal discourse without resorting to petty insults.

Quote

"I fail to see your point here."

Your application of cause and effect isn't logical or accurate. Their towns were destroyed before they even realized something was happening; if it had been in a different location, it would have been one of your towns, instead.

Quote

"Again, I say that you are an absolute idiot. I am fighting them, you have no clue how I am doing it, my tactics, or even what I am using. I am not nuking things for the entire council to see, considering that tactic got the God of Architecture's servant gravely injured. That does not mean I am not fighting them, and if you expect every battle to go like that you are simply a moron."

If you aren't doing it out in the open, what reason do I have to believe you? Why wouldn't you do it out in the open, so that the council might cooperate? Khaziraad's Archangel was injured because the amount of damage it did was so catastrophic, and it was so tough no one's angels or archangels could damage it. I have my doubts that Tykki could accomplish as much.

Quote

"How is that even remotely related? I protect my people, as is my duty. The fact you have nobody to protect does not mean you are doing more than I."

Which was precisely my point; I was showing how your logic was flawed by applying it to myself.

Yaos, you should know the last deal I made with the void was over a thousand years ago. Even ask Cim! All I did was create a temple, which I then destroyed.

And I recall you threatened to kill me if I didn't destroy the void temple, I feel entitled to a joke threat to turn you into a rowboat, cover you in grapes, and throw you out to fight the void.

Tick 47: Ye monsters!

The first Templars have been prototyped by Darruth, who has made 600 of them. Some Seppo have decided to make some weapons for them, and the Mountwyrms have hurried to finish the commission lest the Dwarves receive the full final payment instead.

Gruen all over Keshan have become more amenable to unification attempts by the Lords of Hunger guided by Grauel. Several more centralized confederacies have formed, and most members delegate military work to a more central authority.

Serac has opened up a pastry shop selling Hardboiled Rainbows that taste like colors and look like smells and donating much to charity. They are very popular among the local Sorae, and some have taken to re-selling (less fresh) Rainbows on the mainland. Additionally, Serac has created a number of interesting flora to embellish the scenic wilderness and the *?Tadpoles of Temperature, which can potentially become familiars for the Sorae.

The stoNe soldieRs show no sign of stopping their appearance despite many strong efforts from various gods' creations. They seem to serve Yaos, but they have yet to obey a single Council-audible command.

Yaos and various creations fight the monsters. They do not fight back in the least.

Taol has been sealed away and hidden by Yaos. No one can seem to detect where he is.

A bubble has popped near Yaos and delivered a foul message in an eldritch tongue of CVC(C)-type words of an average of four letters if written using an alphabet.

Yaos listens to some prayers from various creations, and these are the prayers:
Muman: "I want to fly like a flimp!"
Keshan Human: "Why can't I just keep these nice stoNe people as servants? They sweep and mop my floors, wash my clothes, and even bear hug thieves!"
Slythan Huminee: "I want to be made completely Human. Luminees stink. Even my mother."

Void Cults are at an all-time low even though the Inquisition reports unchanged amounts of purging.

Yaos absorbs more memories of combat. Most of them are not too traumatic.

Darruth has propagated a few tens of thousands of Seraphim and continued spreading the message of Goodness. Some prayers are as follows:
"I wish I could be as big as the moon!"
"The food bank here is unsuccessful, and we are losing much funding. What can we do?"
"My Goodness! Did Tykki blink in this room? Clean it at once!"

The Templars are quite successful, but the waRRioRs are endless.

The Ice Titans have, with Neron's assistance, begun helping with building a wall around the stoNe meN.

Azem hears these prayers:
Dwarf: "Make it so those Mountwyrms lose their commission for armor! Everyone knows we make the best and they make the "best."
Gem Dragon Lawmancer: "How can I teach Lawmancy without corruption?"
Priest: "Are you Wealth or Greed now?"

Sappira has been combat-enhanced.

Yaos' symbol has been changed to that of a crowned human holding an orb in one hand and pointing to the heavens with the other.

Yaos has recreated the Orbs of Ambition and given two to Malik, two to the Mighty King, and three to the Terrifying Warlady.

(Time travel is possible with sufficient arrangement discussion.)

Sappira is taking notes.

Merwen and the pilgrims have begun crafting weapons and magic items. It is hard work.

"I did this as a secret action. It was to test if changing my symbol would automatically change it on the Stone Warriors. It did not. I don't know what this mean, except that they are not intrinsically tied to me. That's what I believe, in any case."

Many Void cultists are brought in.

General Lee and a regiment of the Imperial Army evacuate the capital.

The Ikakus join the attack. They are likewise not attacked and given a wide berth by the stoNe meN.

Propaganda posters were relased and may or may not mostly have the godly modifications.

The Ninjas find that the stoNe soldieRs emerge after worship services.

Serac has assisted in the distribution of modified propaganda posters. They are a riot. (And possibly in more ways than one) Serac has also set up adventurer quest boards at the pastry shop and created a species of giant mushroom that shows an image of the sky no matter how deep in the caverns they are.

Let's say you bleed yellow blood and blue blood. One blade only causes yellow wounds and the other is nonselective. If you start with an existing yellow wound, you will likely end up with more serious yellow wounds than blue wounds if they have a near-equal chance of being opened by the nonselective blade. It may not have been noticeable at first, of course.

Make all sentient creatures appear human (subspecies of humans?) to the stoNe meN, with help from any gods who want to help.

Assist; protect those who would be harmed otherwise by assisting in making all sentient creatures register as human to the stoNe meN.

I do hope they don't end up becoming a permanent fixture....they are only on Keshan, correct?

Also, since there's no reason to keep it a secret and I don't want to deal with PMs, and I already have this post open it ended up being long enough I copy-pasted it to the IC anyway, I have a proposition for Yaos, Neron, Serac, and Azem(I think I got the right names; also, Joha, if you want in on this I at least would be fine with it); I would like to make merfolk with you. Since mortals are able to worship multiple gods, and as far as I know there is no reduction in efficiency, and with five of us it'll likely be free(3-4E at most, split five way, and then a discount? Yeah, it'll be free), there is little resson for us not to. Including Yaos and Serac are rather obvious, I would think(you can at least make use of your Coastal sphere, for the moment; maybe even make them capable of breeding with humans; ooh! Or, make selkies with us! Human and seal both!), Neron is because ice and water are similar enough already, and because we would want them to be able to survive in the polar regions, and Azem because of a comment from the GM about valuable bones(and scales; scales fall off naturally, while bones would be from those who died of natural or unpreventable causes, preferably...).

And if you guys are cool with that, it may set a precedent for creating similar races with groups of gods, such as the Fair Folk with Joha and some other Gods(probably almost all of them).

I'd also extend a proposition to Carmine, Cim, and possibly The Light though I'm less certain, about creating a race of philosopher beings, and as for Cim and Carmine in particular, the endowment of power on certain individuals to create the Justiciars, who would work in all ways for Goodness, Order, and Reason. I'm very uncertain as to The Light's motivations, but their assistance would also be welcome.

I am a God of Goodness; of helping others. That is not limited solely to mortals.

This looks like OOC, but it's just that I don't want to deal with trying to put it in Darruth's speech; you can imagine he made the offers in his typical pseudo-magnanimous and polite way.

"Merpeople? That sounds so cool!" :D "I can't unfortunately. I'm pretty low on Essence after all that and I think I'll save up a bit before doing anything else."

The temple is collapsed. The temple, the area underneath the temple, and everything around the temple is removed using earth magic and flown into the sun by Yaos' angels. The air where the temple used to be is thoroughly burned using fire magic. All this is done after evacuating the area, of course.

Then if you end up being the one having to pay Essence, I'm sure one of us with more would be able to pay for any expenses incurred on your part. Still, as I said, with 5-6 of us? It should be trivial to make the race. Propagation might cost a bit more if we go overboard, on the other hand.

You could at least help, your human sphere would help us make them think everyone is human. And why do you say covering up? It completely transforms them from a threat to an aid.

Yaos puts in an order with the Dwarves for a personal suit of Imperial-styled armour and a longsword.

Next, Yaos finds some Yaos-worshippers among the Dwarves to join the Institute of Yaosian Scientists in the Empire after being scanned with the VDD. With the new influx in thinkers, inventors, and alchemists, the IYS is reformed into the Imperial Yaosian Academy of the Sciences - an official departmental branch of the Empire of Mankind dedicated to the advancement of the sciences.

Carmine bless this venture!

EDIT: Yaos reorganises the Paladins. From now on, for every nine Paladins there will be one Paladin Captain. The most devoted, powerful, and leader-like Paladins will be chosen to be captains. The most devoted, powerful, and leader-like of the captains is chosen to be the Captain-General and has authority over the other captains.

(5/2E is not an error. You cannot gain Essence beyond the cap, but you can spend the surplus if you want. This is a special case unlikely to happen with Void deal payouts at or near the cap for future reference.)

Carmine has attempted to greet the stoNe meN in many languages, but nothing works. The people around the temple seem to know only that they are useful servants that never complain.

Khaziraad and Serac have tested a proposed illusion for convincing the stoNe meN that everything is Human. It works on their test subjects. Following this success, Serac, Darruth, Neron,

Darruth has (informally?) suggested that Yaos, Neron, Serac, Azem, and possibly Joha collaborate to produce merfolk, which should be very close to free. Darruth, Serac, and Joha have currently agreed on this. It has also (informally?) suggested that Carmine, Cim, and possibly The Light create a race of philosophically inclined beings with an affinity for justice and order. Cim and The Light have supported this in addition to the implicitly guaranteed Darruth.

Yaos' angels have collapsed a great temple to Yaos and sent it into the sun (which is perhaps counterintuitively harder than simply flinging it off into deep space). They have also incinerated the former plot of land on which the temple was located. The spawning of stoNe waRRioRs seems to have finally stopped. A sterile copy of the temple before destruction has appeared in Khaziraad's dimension.

Yaos' forces continue destroying the stoNe soldieRs. While it is easy because of their passiveness to Humans, they seem to be practically innumerable.

Joha: Mgaareecaalwahiisnshyzhrshui: "I cannot say I know what is happening. Similar things have happened before, but we have never been responsible."

Yaos returns to the DBP with Lee to train in dance battling with Rubin. The Emperor appears to be sitting on a seat watching the fight and looks very sad. The rest of Yaos' angels deal with the stoNe waRRioRs save Tory, who tours various temples searching for corruption.

The Dwarves have produced a glittering suit of personal armor for Azem. It seems rather impractical except for dazzling enemies and bribing them. They have also produced a suit of shiny Imperial-styled armor and a jeweled longsword for Yaos. It, too, seems impractical.

Some Yaos-worshipping Dwarves have signed up for the Imperial Yaosian Academy of the Sciences. Regrettably, a significant portion of the more competent ones have significant Void influence however crime-free and normal they would seem at a first glance and have been turned away on this basis. Yaos has also reorganized the Paladins.

Neron has created the Northern University of Knowledgeable Enlightened to promote some competition with the Yaosian Academy. It focuses on art significantly in addition to the sciences, possibly making it the first true university.

(Yaos: Demand rejected to the letter but accepted in spirit. I cannot favor any player above another regardless of past fortune or misfortune. The IYS does indeed have more history and probably more resources, but countless other factors contribute to the admittedly very fuzzy concept of a better school. Also, demand in this context has a (slightly?) negative connotation in English in case the verb choice came from French or somewhere similar.)

The Dwarves have produced a glittering suit of personal armor for Azem. It seems rather impractical except for dazzling enemies and bribing them. They have also produced a suit of shiny Imperial-styled armor and a jeweled longsword for Yaos. It, too, seems impractical.

I find some better smiths who'll make me some top-quality, battle-ready armour and longsword.

"Guys! Can we please vote on these proposals? At least maybe 44.03? That one seems the most reasonable."

I listen to some prayers from my non-Human worshipper base on Keshan, with the usual non-trivial filters unless it's Void related or jelly roll related, etc.

People are allowed back into the capital.

I possess a random Muman and walk around for a bit. What problems do they have? In what areas are they doing well? What could I do to help?

The Imperial Yaosian Academy of the Sciences has been renamed as the Imperial Science Academy of Yaos, since it's easier to pronounce 'ISAY' than 'IYAS'. Just to clarify some things about the academy; the academy will expand on its own to cover the different scientists. It will have its own hierarchy like a normal university. All joining members are scanned for Void influence and are rejected if they test positive.

"Hey Grauel? I was kind of wondering if maybe you could do me a favour, because I have so little Essence on my own." :-[ "So I was wondering if maybe you could rebuild Zeph and Tel for me? Or maybe you can help spread Paladinitry through bite? That last one doesn't cost much, and it has biting so maybe you'll even like it!" :D "I mean, in any case, you can provide the Essence and I can help with the details. Is that ok?" Yaos looks really nervous, like she's scared of being rejected.

((actually the Justciars was different from the race of philosophical beings, and they agreed to the Justiciars, not the race, in that instance)).

I have no desire to waste time with pointless squabbling right now, as we are all quite set in our opinions, I can see, but I will say this:

The Void is incomprehensibly powerful, and surrounds our Bubble. Attempting to purge it of Void influences is like trying to keep a sponge dry underwater. Which is to say; it's likely futile and will in all likelihood antagonize them, rather than accomplish anything useful. Moreover, it's entirely likely that if they wished to, they could crush our world with no more effort than it would take to crush an egg.

Also, I'm surprised you find our universe to be so perfect, Fusil. I wouldn't have expected such optimism from you.

People return to the capital. They are dismayed by the stopped regeneration of stoNe seRvaNts.

The Mumans seem to be doing well (except for the hapless one you possessed, who is fighting it). They have few problems and trade with the Armu for exotic dense goods (i.e. those made of metal, which is hard to come by) and Gruen, who produce many strange and delicious foods. They could probably use some more conflict.

The ISAY mostly agrees, but the few who don't say that they were already doing what you said before or reject your anti-Void policy as discrimination by relgion. (Maybe IY(A)S was too close to IJS after Neron's Ice academy deal? :P)

Wait a minute, did I die in the DBP? Wouldn't I just returned to the Corporeal Realm or the Human Plane (depending on where I was before I entered the DBP) instead of perma-dying?
On top of that, the whole point of spending 2 Essence of a permanent body is to have it take the hit for me if I were to be struck down. Sure I'd still lose a bit of Essence from the ordeal but I wouldn't lose all of it.)

We should still try to find Yaos body. Even if this "Emperor" doesn't do anything more vile with it, it will still turn into a nasty creature.

Tick 49: Encore

Books pertaining to the Void have been recreated at the Library.

People have returned to the Imperial capital after the removal of the source of the stoNe meN.

Yaos has died once again. Lette and Vaal note that the sight of the weapon used was terrifying, and it radiated an aura of what they interpreted as incredibly deathly and powerfully draining, thus explaining why it seemed to pull Yaos' core lowercase e essence into itself despite the buffering effect of the permanent body. They also note that the Emperor's heroic wounds were in slightly wrong places. (I'm not in the business of writing out fight scenes, besides which the outcome is more significant to all the parties involved than flowery prose detailing how it happened and letting down whoever ends up losing anyway.) Also, the Emperor's body was found months ago and to their knowledge, Yaos did not recreate the Emperor.

The stoNe meN everywhere let out a bloodcurdling cry and stop moving completely. Owners of stoNe meN also cry out soon for having to wash and clean on their own now.

Famous Hummingbird non-follower: "That leaves me with 13 gods. Who among you is the best?"

A Sorae follower of Yaos has opened up a shop peddling incongruously dyed food. Their blue bread and red salads are popular.

The 3/16ths Luminee has begun training.

This update's constellations are the Seraph and Ikaku. A comet streaks past the Keshan sky.

Vaal: "The false Emperor was supposedly destroyed by Lette. Considering that we watched it get vaporised we had good reason to be believe it was utterly destroyed."
"Moreover, Yaos was in the Death Battle Plane and thought that if he were to die or have his soul stolen, the council-made plane would protect him (so long as he wasn't attacked by monkeys)."
"He stayed a fair distance away from the Emperor while he tried establishing communications and immediately called upon Lette and myself."
"Considering the request for the souls that were stolen from him be returned, he had reason to believe that this was happening and so didn't rule out the possibility of the return of the true Emperor."

Useful? How so Azem? Last I recall, they all were dropping like flies to a group of flying monkeys. I wouldn't rate them particularly more useful than any other other angel in regards to combat and in practicality, they're less useful to any of us than our angels because their loyalty remains to Yaos.

That said... since we're on the topic of investments, you did pay for them no? Why not claim them yourself to help make up for all you've lost now that Yaos can't repay her debt to you?

That's really not the spirit of the eye for an eye principle I was advocating. I had told Yaos that she should try and take something of equal value to what I took. I never said I would give anything. If you want help from me you have to make a deal with me. Tell me the price of the angels in essence and I'll tell you what it will cost you both for me to recreate your angel friends.

Edit:

Wait... err were those just your named weapons? I haven't really been paying that much attention to what Yaos does when it doesn't involve what I helped pay for. Same principle applies to the deal though.

I oppose the murder of the Angels, but I would support your dissolving this Shadow Realm, and the disbanding of the Inquisition...considering the Inquisition seems primarily designed to attack and destroy Void influences, however, I find it odd that you wish their destruction, Fusil.

In any case, perhaps we should allow the God to have some dignity in death...it seems the universe itself is opposed to Yaos' life.

Wait... err were those just your named weapons? I haven't really been paying that much attention to what Yaos does when it doesn't involve what I helped pay for. Same principle applies to the deal though.

"They're our swords, yes. It was about 10 or 11 Essence to create them together, if I remember correctly."

"Fusil, the Strange Knife isn't yours. If it was, you would've automatically got it back when the Council agreed to give all your stuff back. Yaos is not greater than the Council and would not have been able to prevent that."

The Shadow Realm, the Inquisition, and the Empire
"The Shadow Realm: basically a dungeon for evil souls. They stay there for a while before being automatically released. Just like a corporeal dungeon. There are no torture devices or anything like that, no diseases, and no abusive jailors or fellow inmates. In many ways it's actually better than a real dungeon."

"The Inquisition: An Empire-run organisation dedicated to the discovery and destruction of Void cults. Lately, it has helped with more civic duties such as regular police work and evacuations. If the Inquistion was named anything else I don't believe the gods would be as angry with it as they are now."

"The Empire: originally founded by the Angel-Emperor of Mankind. It is a secular territory ruled first by the Emperor, and then by the Controller Angels and myself. As a sapient being, I have as much a right to rule ANY secular sovereignty as anyone else, and to deny me that right is narrow-minded, demeaning, and possibly racist, depending on whether you view angels as slaves or not."

"Imperials may worship whomever they wish. They are not forced to worship Yaos."

"Any attacks against the Empire will be met with appropriate force."

Yaos
"We believe that Yaos will be revived within five Ticks. We cannot disclose anything else beyond that except that it has nothing to do with the Void."

Lette: "In our defence, the Inquisition was new and Yaos didn't know how to properly handle the GM's Literal Genie fetish SUCH A NEW AND SPECIAL ORGANISATION, OF COURSE! But no one was executed. Only the pastry itself was destroyed (it was giving off Void radiation, by the way), the family was taken for interrogation, and then they were released."

"Pick a gem folks, we need a color to work with."

EVAC
EVAC works differently to the Inquisition. Standard operation has them either training or doing regular police work. They pay informants to keep track of any Void cults within the Empire. If they get too big or are too dangerous, EVAC will move in, shut down the cult, and imprison its leaders or more dangerous members. If they committed Heresy (see 'Yaos: God of Humans'), then they are executed. The rest must promise not to go into Void worship again or else be imprisoned for a short time if it's proven without doubt that they did. The length of imprisonment increases the more they are caught but are never executed unless they commit Heresy.

"Are those acceptable standard operating procedures? If not, then what procedures should EVAC have? We can't simply NOT have a group dedicated to Void eradication. That would only allow the Void to increase its grip on our Bubble."

"Secular: separate from religion. Racist: the idea that one race is superior to another."
"The Empire is not governed by religion - it is governed by sapient beings, just like all other sovereignties and adherence to any religion is neither mandatory, enforced, or at all necessary within any branch of government. Even the head or heads of state do not need to adhere to any religion."
"I made the claim of racism because people seem to think that us angels are defined by religion and we are treated as such, rather than being accepted and treated as any other sapient being. Even you, Darruth - god of Good, seem to think that simply because we were made by and served a god that we do not have rights to independence and free will. From what I can tell, you're saying that all rulers must disavow themselves of religion and gods to be considered secular rulers, thus preventing full religious freedom."

Title: Re: Ye Gods [13+/999 players] IC: T49: Encore
Post by: Rolepgeek on November 29, 2014, 01:56:49 am

You are created by gods, to serve gods. You are, by your very nature, Divine, which is what defines 'religion' in this world. Attempting to separate the Gods from everyday life is rather pointless in the first place, given we are quite evidently here and hold near-absolute power over the world in comparison to a mortal, but if you were to try, which is what Secularism would be, it would by necessity exclude angels, given they are beings of a divine nature.

And no, that is not what racism is; it is quite evident, that, say, the Armu are almost always better weaponsmiths than Humans. It's simply a fact. Racism is the preconceived judgement of an individual based solely on their race, rather than on the quality of their individual character, as individuals can depart from the tendencies of their race.

Finally, you have a flaw in your logic, on several accounts. I am saying that if a being that was assisted in their rise to power by a divine entity, or a being designed primarily to advance the agenda of a specific divine entity, is a ruler? Then it is no longer a secular government. Additionally, that has nothing to do with religious freedom. Simply because the ruler gives praise to Azem, that does not mean their subjects could not worship Fusil. The important part here is that they serve the people, not the god, first, in order for it to be considered secular.

"We are not divine by nature. Only gods are divine by nature. At the very least, I and the other angels created by Yaos are not. We are no more divine than the Humans he propagated. We are no more divine than the Mumans or the Paladins. We would not be any more divine if we had the Cosmic attunement, which as the GM states is not god magic, but god-imitation magic. Angels created by Yaos are winged, immortal Humans. To say we are divine is to graft a pair of wings onto a Human, have him blessed by Joha, and call him a god. Please do not say what we are or what we are not. WE know what we are."

If a ruler were to rule a kingdom and exploit it to no end for his own pleasure, is he not secular? He's not working for his people, but he's not working for a god either. If he ruled in the name of another Human, would he not still be a secular ruler? He is ruling for neither himself nor his people but he is not working for a god yet he is still secular."

"I should not even have to argue about secularity. I rule the Empire. The Council of Angels rules the Empire. The Council of Humans rules the Empire. As head of state of the Empire of Mankind, I declare that the Empire will not be annexed, controlled, or split up by any gods without our consent. Glory to the Empire! Hail Humanity!"

"Hey Darruth, you're god of Protection, right? We need protection from Fusil and his angels. We're being unjustly persecuted by him for no good reason."

Yaosian angels are officially considered a full race on their own. They must now all be spelt with a capital 'A' or else it is racist and demeaning. They may still be called Yaosian Angels because it was Yaos that created them.

The Imperial governor of Muna ((came up with that by myself, just like Mumans )) is told to focus on industrial and technological capabilities to access metals further underneath the earth. All current technologies that help in that area are shared with the Mumans.

The Imperial Cavalry will patrol the countrysides and forests in search of bandits or Void cultists. ((Maybe a bonus considering that wargs have a really good sense of smell and tracking skills, plus they can be trained?))

The Imperial Army and the Humanos Regiments will work on destroying what's left of the Stone Warriors, primarily those closest to non-Human settlements. They will also assist in reconstruction efforts.

The Council of Humans - made up of ten representatives of various parts of the Empire - are asked for input of any kind. ((These guys both volunteered and were elected to their positions. They wouldn't be apathetic to their task.))

ISAY will continue work on their work on the Hilda, the Scion, and the E-1 Bolts.

The Paladins will continue training in the Corporeal Realm, the Death Battle Plane having its sanctity and spirit desecrated and ravished by Fusil and his machinations being deemed unsafe after recent events.

Yaosian and Azemian temples are refurbished. All temples within the Empire are checked to see if they are operating as centres of Void worship.

Quote

"I am created by a god, yes. I was created to serve a god, yes. I also have free will, and can choose not to serve said god. Moreover, I will simply say that I am what I am, and that 'angel' is the closest label that fits what I am."

"It doesn't matter. If a mortal priest takes over an empire in the name of his god, who is commanding him to do so, the empire is not secular. It isn't the fact that you are 'forced' to serve Yaos that makes the empire under you not secular, it is the fact that you do so. So long as you act as his servant, the empire is not secular."

Quote

"That's not what I said. I just said we were being treated as non-sapient slaves rather than sapient, free-willed individuals. We are being judged to be unfit to rule kingdoms based simply on the fact that we are angels. We are simply a branch of Humans, like the Mumans, yet we apparently must play by different rules and are not entitled to equal rights. It is wrong."

"As I just said, if a mortal like Malik is chosen to lead the kingdom as a priest, the government is still a theocracy lead indirectly by a god. It isn't the fact that you are an Angel that makes you unfit, but the fact that you are Yaos's servant. Also, arguing with gods is liable to get you killed.""

Quote

"You make a better point here, but I must also rebuke you. There are more angles here than whether or not a ruler's agenda is for his people or for his god. If a ruler were to rule a kingdom and exploit it to no end for his own pleasure, is he not secular? He's not working for his people, but he's not working for a god either. If he ruled in the name of another Human, would he not still be a secular ruler? He is ruling for neither himself nor his people but he is not working for a god yet he is still secular."

"That is irreverent, I still don't think you even know what that word means. Your empire is not secular because it is lead directly by a follower for Yaos, who listens to his every word, and would be considered to be a kind of priest in any culture. It is a theocracy."

"You make some pretty good points there, especially with your mentioning of Fusil. There are some questions or scenarios I'd like to ask though. They're pretty simple so they shouldn't take up to much of your time, great elder god. Other gods, please feel free to answer them. I'm starting to like this discussion now that it's moved away from militaristic and into intellectual."

"One: if we also declared independence from Yaos, no longer being his willing servants, would we no longer be a theocracy?"

"Two: if not the above, what would us Angels have to do in order to maintain control of the Empire while being considered its secular rulers?"

"Three: what is the problem with a theocratic government in the first place? Grauel seems to have authority over every Gruen state yet he doesn't get any flak for it."

"Four: if we declared independence but retained close ties such as friendship with Yaos, would it be any more theocratic than if we were friends with no or all other gods?"

"Five: what if we were to have a constitutional theocratic government? It's similar to a constitutional monarchy where there is still a hereditary monarchy but the real ruler is elected from the people. In this case, the real government is a combination of an elected council, a non-elected council, and an absolute ruler, and the traditional head of state is Yaos."

"Six: finally, and I think you'll find this most interesting, is that instead of the traditional head of state being Yaos, the head of state is the Council of Gods themselves. Now, we'll likely not agree to this but it would be nice to hear some opinions on the matter."

"I dare say I do. He is hypocritical, patronizing and arrogant. Let me argue these points, as in a proper debate: he is hypocritical, because he doesn't want any rules or laws, wanting to do as he will; however, if someone else tries to do as they will, even if it's something Fusil would do, he tries to bring up the rules and complain to the Council."

"He is patronizing, insulting those who disagree with him and dismissing them instead of forming proper arguments. "I am an elder god who can totally destroy you in a fight, so you should do as I say without question" isn't very logical, considering a God's age has no causation with their ability to fight nor to be correct. "

"This also strikes as arrogant. A God of Weapons can certainly be usually correct about weaponry, but not necessarily about other subjects. Nodding slightly to the hypocrisy argument, he seems to believe a lawless system to be the best, and refuses to budge even though its flaws have been pointed out multiple times. Sometimes, one needs to compromise or even completely turn around in one's opinion."

"Clearly, Fusil should learn more about and practice debating and even basic logic."

"One could argue these points would also apply to me, and perhaps to some extent they do, but at least I say every equal being should follow the same rules, and I deem myself equal with any other God, and I either argue or ignore insults instead of overreacting and threatening to destroy whoever crossed me (at least not right away)."

(Proposals extended)

Fusil has attempted and failed to steal the Strange Knife.

The Keshan Human Empire has formed a council to help Vaal and the other angels run the empire. The Inquisition has been replaced with the Empire Void Annihilation Corps, which the gods suspect is simply a renamed inquisition.

The Shiny Ones have made jewelry and new clothes for Lette and Vaal.

Grauel has placed Lette and Vaal under protection for two ticks (until T51 or T52?) while they work to cover their end of the deal provided that neither of them aggress. They have almost completed their end of the deal.

The Mumans have begun attempting to access metals on their own. Many die from the deathly dangerous conditions of their first mines, and little metal can be found in the very low-density upper layers. Some concerned Armu issue a warning that conditions within are very dangerous without adequate protection.

The Imperial Cavalry has slaughtered many bandits. Roadside lawmancer activity increases sharply. The Imperial Army and Humanos destroy the remnants of the stoNe waRRioRs. The Council of Humans proposes splitting the Empire or delegating control downward to maximize efficiency. ISAY continues work as instructed. The Paladins train in the corporeal dimension. Temples to Yaos and Azem have been refurbished. Temples within the Empire seem not to contain Void worshippers on first inspection. Vaal has adopted a random Human orphan born under the Crown who seems to be good and sports an above-average number of face tentacles. Ikaku mercenaries attempt to train the Paladins and Human army in chi techniques. The Imperial palace has been warded by an angel of Yaos.

Lette and Vaal really like their new clothes. They're just flamboyant enough to accentuate their badassery more than draw away from it.

I scan the boy with the VDD. Maybe he's simply of Armu descent? Harmu? Humu? Arman? Arman. How old's the boy?

Healing agents and magic are sent to the Mumans, as well as the technologies to create protective wear. All Mumans currently sick or injured are healed. The Armu are thanked for their concern and are hired to help provide technological solutions to the problems facing the project. Until proper technological and logistical problems are pre-resolved, the project will remain closed.

The Imperial Army will secure trade routes outside of the Empire, but not inside of anyone else's territory without permission.

Dwarven-quality armour is bought for both the Order of Yaosian Paladins and EVAC.

The Human Council members are permitted to *shiver* expand the bureaucracy. A day of mourning is held.

As the Human constellation is active, a festival is held in honour of Yaos, the various peoples of the Empire, the late Angel-Emperor of Mankind, and to the continual advancement of Humanity.

"May I remind you that Fusil is also heavily associated with tentacles? There are literally millions of tentacle creatures that he himself created and that's not even mentioning that pony, tentacle-mouth....thing he created so long ago. Maybe he's simply descended from the Armu?"
"Even if it was the Void, I highly doubt that his tentacles are the result of him worshipping the Void. More likely he simply had less than ideal parents or was kidnapped by cultists to be experimented on or something. If so, then killing him won't solve anything or even prevent anything."

The diference between Humans and Armu is that Humans are not suposed to have tentacles. And if the kid has nothing to do with this, and the tentacles are there becouse of void cult experiements, or his parents were void mutants, then the city has some serious cult related problems. Either way, it is a situation that deserves investigation and resolving. I don't exactly do "subtle", so if you don't feel like this is at all alarming then I will have the area purged.

There is a time and a place for flaunting power and trying to prove oneself to be superior. I don't particularly view this as such a situation. Perhaps you should just pick someone to follow or not follow any one at all. I don't see many of us exhibiting any serious desire to try and prove superiority in this case.

Besides superiority is relative and in many cases susceptible to personal views.

Make the merfolk with the people who agreed to, since we all did. Sea-people, able to go onto land for short periods of time without suffocating, webbed hands, tails for swimming instead of legs, beautiful scales, aligned towards Good, Wealth(if Azem gets around to getting his sphere changed), Water(duh), Ice, and Life. Yeah.

Check out the Good cities, see how my people are getting along, check on my prophet, check on my Book of Divine Truth, check out the church structure, get to making stuff a bit more organized, maybe with Cim's help if he agrees.

Khaziraad, I have a request. As my spheres now include protection, I would be willing to help make your archangel even more durable, if you were to help me in constructing cathedrals and other grand pieces of architecture within my cities, and for my followers. As well, I would ask for your help and Azem's, with a different race project of mine. However, I ask this as a favor, and would owe you both a favor, if you were to assist; this is not the altruistic co-operation of race creation I asked of for the merfolk. You do not even have to donate more than a single Essence(as I doubt the desire I ask of you would be possible were you to donate less than that), but I would ask for your expertise in your given fields. You see, I wish to make a race of engineers, artisans, and craftspeople, as well as armorsmiths. I feel that your expertise with construction, Khaziraad, and your expertise with trade, quality manufacture, and merchanting, Azem, would aid me greatly in this endeavor. Would you be so kind?

"Golems are already good at construction, Dwarves are good artisans and craftspeople, and Gremlins are good engineers. Also, are you really just going to allow him to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people without even a few words of protest? I mean, really? You're supposed to be the god of Good and Protection. Does that really seem Good to you?"
"Do you think they are adequately being protected if they're being threatened with total annihilation? Why are you even the god of Protection? Fusil always seemed much more interested in protecting his followers than you. In fact, I don't remember a single time when you used your powers of protection other than in the creation of armour. Maybe you should become the god of Armour instead of Protection."

Golem labourers are brought in to help improve the general infrastructure of the Empire and share some construction techniques with the Academy. Gremlins are invited into the Academy to help with mechanical projects and dwarves are hired to share their knowledge of metallurgy.

How about the instance I protected a human town from the predations of an organization your god started?

There are those who are good at that. I wish to make a race of my own, however.

I don't believe that Khaziraad will actually do such a thing. It's not in his character. He makes threats, and rarely follows through; this is not a fault of his. He makes threats because he feels it is the best way to make sure something is done about the situation, but he is not ruthless enough to make good on such actions, because they tend to be too destructive to consider.

Besides, I grow tired of how loud you lot speak, and of your infinitely wishy-washy stance on matters. I also believe that I am may be the only one here who does not view the Void as irrevocably evil. Dangerous, yes, but like anything else that is dangerous, it also has a use.

And finally, if I were to be ruthless about it; few of the people in that city are my followers, I believe. I'll check again to be sure, but fine. If it will result in your ceasing to be such an annoyance;

Khaziraad, I would warn you not to take such drastic action. If you worry so greatly about the Void, I will lend Palatino's aid to you in purging the Void from the region.

Now. Lette, Vaal, whichever, I would appreciate if you refrained from insulting me again, simply because I am not following your interests.

Give Arkangel Palatino Void-Detection abilities and some basic purification abilities related to cleansing the taint of the Void away.

Spoiler: Empire Stuff (click to show/hide)

Once the Paladins and EVAC are outfitted with their new heavy Dwarven armour, it'll be enchanted to be less cumbersome. Tory and Lee will also get some new armour but their enchantments will provide protection against magic.

An Alchemy department is opened in the Academy with hopes that specialisation will accelerate advancement in the field.

More schools are built to foster learning at a young age within the Empire.

The Human Council are asked what the Empire could do to benefit its people more.

An Imperial Void Studies group is created to study the Void in relative safety to ascertain its true natures. Is it really as bad as Yaos and Fusil claim? Should cults other than those of Want be allowed to exist? What other cults are there? With the restocking of the Divine Library it shouldn't be too difficult.

Missionaries are sent out to non-Human settlements to foster worship of Yaos outside the Empire. They are all scanned with the VDD before leaving.

The boy is checked to see if he is magically attuned.

A Yaosian charity is created to complement the Darruthian and Want charities. Charities. Charities. Charities.

The members of the Human Council are individually and privately asked their opinion on the Void and Void cults with the promise that they will not be harmed, looked down upon, or anything else no matter what they say unless they lie or start being smartasses. They're grown adults holding government positions, after all.

Name: Mgaareecaalwahiisnshyzhrshui
Function: Prophet of Earth
Alignment: Liminal
Age/Caste/Tier: Primordial Coronal: Hadal
Tendency: Static
Description: The Prophet of Violence is the Hadal-tier leader of the Liminal faction and a fairly benign Null. The Prophet is often taken to be close to the ideal of a neutral Null who will not reinterpret pacts in disfavor to Its clients whether for their own benefit or for their ruin, but this is purely speculation based on the few encounters most can have.

Going by this book, not all void beings are evil. It outright states that some void beings reinterpret deals for the god's benefit.

And as long as you are very careful with your pacts I think you could make deals and be fine, as no void beings can directly lie in a deal. (As far as I know)

The books have been brought back, they are available to all in the library, thanks to my efforts. Yaos died when I was revived, and offered no explanation for it.

"That does not make them good, when the deals involve murder and destruction. They are still evil, this only means they have allies now. If you make a deal with the demon to sacrifice a baby, is the demon good because it listened to its part of the deal instead of killing you afterwards?"

"In any case, it is finally time fore me to have the Feast of Fusil's Faithful, that I have been waiting for for so long..."

Spoiler: FINALLY FUSIL FEAST (click to show/hide)

All over the worlds, Fusil's followers start to gather in large valleys. Every single one, from the youngest to the oldest, makes the journey across the world with the rest of my Faithful. They are all protected along the way, watched closely by me. As they set up camp, the feast finally starts! Everyone is armed, and tasked with hunting the beasts of the valley. Then the meat captured is roasted on pikes over flamethrower fire, and devoured hungrily. Sword-shaped cookies, hallowed-out arrow shafts hammer heads to hold drinks, shield shaped cakes, and other assortment of weapon-based food is also available. STF and I will share the meal with the winner of the day. After the first meal, the games start. All over the valley, various competitions of skill in weapon use and making are held. Crossbow marksmanship and shooting galleries (In both exploding and non exploding flavors), non-lethal sword sparring, spear tossing, war games, and other assorted weapon-based festivities. Tykki, STF, and I will be walking around, hanging out with my followers and offering pointers on their techniques, maybe even participating every so often. At the end of the day, we finally eat, as the food will be done cooking. The winners of the competitions are ceremoniously blessed, without any actual effects. Can't have them cheat in tomorrows games, after all. Finally, just before bed, Tykki and I give a weapon demonstration to our full power, with blunted weapons. After observing our perfect techniques, my followers are left to sleep on it. This, of course, continues to repeat for a few weeks until everyone gets board or I get interrupted, and happens on both planets. I had planned this to happen waaaay back in the first few turns, when I didn't have several million followers, but see no reason to change it now.

None of the books in here seem to focus specifically on the motives of the Void Beings, but you gather that their motivations are closely tied to their sphere, class, and alightment. It seems to be typically fairly easy to predict the motives once these three are known.

Darruth is correct, I mostly use threats as that one to motivate somone to do something. And this time is no different. Yet should any sculptures start moving I will not hesitate. I was never against inquisition, their methods were crude in many instances, yet the ammount of cults they dealt with and ammount of cults that never formed in fear of inquisition are not insignificant.

I'm not actualy that woried abaut the Null themselves, but mortals tampering with powers that even we do not fully understand can only bring ruin, as we have seen with stone men. Priests were probably thinking that they were making Humans' lives easyer, and look where that got us.

The Grand Temple will be as large as the palace with exquisite workmanship, masterful engravings, and brilliant architecture. It will be decorated with statues, murals, mosaics, and all manner of other things to astound visitors and draw in people from all over the world just to see its beauty.
The Grand Temple of Yaos will be guarded by a small regiment of the Imperial Army and will be warded from all manner of magic - including that of non-Yaosian angels and gods.
Of course, everyone who will work on the project will be scanned for Void influence.
It is an ambitious project, sure, but the constellation of Ambition is active and so it is the best time to construct the temple.

EDIT: (If I could get the test results on the tentacle child in the form of a PM instead of in the update, that would be preferable.)

Tick 51: Revenant

The boy Vaal adopted seems not to have too much Void influence. He is currently 8.

The Mumans recover from their initial attempts mining. Tales abound of how the Armu can drink molten white stone.

The Imperial Army attempts to secure trade routes in unclaimed areas outside the Empire. They are spread rather thin. Dwarven armor has been purchased for the Yaosian Paladins and the EVAC and has been enchanted to be less encumbering. The Council has decided to create a massive civil service system. Festivities are held for Yaos and the Emperor. Golems and Gremlins have lent some assistance to the Empire. Tory and Lee get some magic resistant armor. An alchemy department has been opened at the ISAY. Schools for the young have been built in the Empire. The Human Council calls a session to decide what is best for the people. It has been a month and they still have nothing concrete. An Imperial Void Studies group has come to two conclusions that the Void is undoubtedly completely safe and that the Void is inestimably dangerous and must be completely ignored and purged. Missionaries testing negative for Void influence have begun traveling to non-Human settlements. Vaal's adopted son is not magically attuned. A Yaosian charity complements the charity charity charities. The Human Council is split roughly evenly on the Void. Approximately half see it as benign, while the other half think of it as malevolent. The Golems begin upgrading various current temples and the Grand Temple at the capital, which is warded from magic. Unfortunately, many of the workers have Void influence and are turned away. Progress is slow and fraught with accidents.

(Andres: Maybe try doing less while you're dead? It's kind of against the spirit of being dead to add so much.)

The second Feast of Fusil has begun. Unfortunately, on both worlds, the region around the feast is hit by a severe freak snowstorm, and a blizzard rages over the valley of the feast for its duration. This manages to kill off many of the weaker attendees. Serac and Billy see little happening beyond attendees feasting in separate tents.

The Hummingbird seems to reflect on Grauel's words. The next day, a group of assorted people gather at a nearby hill waving various metallic implements and insulting various gods.

The merfolk have been created! They are primarily sea-dwellers with limited land survival ability with webbed hands, (cetoid/ichthyoid?) tails, beautiful scales, and a tendency toward Good, Wealth, Water, Ice, and Life.

The Good cities are slowly growing, Darruth's prophet is currently on a long tour, the Book of Divine Truth seems to have become heavier, and the church has become far more organized.

Azem's primary sphere has been changed to Wealth.

The Arkanjel Palatino has been given Void detection abilities and some limited skill in cleansing the taint of the Void.

Vaal and Lette have completed their mission.

Taol has left storage and entered safe stasis.

This update's constellations are the Ring and Claw.

Two of Grauel's angels have been found dead. They are both covered in a shroud reading "HoDo"

When workers were being turned away for void influence, were those workers Golems? There are no void cults among Golems, so any void taint would had come from an outside source, something I would be interested in removing.

Make every insult they say for the rest of time cause them to sprout a seagull feather. When they are completely covered in feathers they become a seagull who can sense the time anything around them will die.
When they die and reincarnate their feathers are gone, but the curse still exists and they remember it.

I have good news and bad news. Bad ones first.

Bad news! It apears that void influence spreads like some sort of oily fog or powder, one can gain traces of it by simply being nearby. Some of Golems' outer layers have been tainted by the void influence after their visits to human capital, even some commonly used roads now have trace void energies. It had basicly no influence on Golems, but organic beings with circulatory sistems may be harmed more.

Good news! My archangel is now capable of creating as well  as destroying, and thus can now be considered complete! Rise, Kyloth, the Artist of worlds. Yours shall be the task too great for less powerfull, you are tasked with building the land itself. You shall shape beutifull valeys, dark forests, crystal clear rivers and sky reaching mountains. Your artwork shall be discovered and evaluated not by jury of pompous, but by explorers and settlers. Now go, and may your creation stand untill the end of times.

The books seem to indicate that Void taint is simply a result of dealing with the Void. Most suggest that the taint is itself mostly harmless. Removal is typically difficult without some expenditure of Essence to dilute and discard the taint.

That happens to agree with what the library says about void taint.

Yes, they have succeeded at getting my attention. Now, what did you want?
...And they should probably stop the insults if they don't want to become seagulls.

Certainly.
Too harsh and too lenient balances in my opinion, but I suppose you can think of a better one... Perhaps they would only have a few lives as a seagull before returning to what they were before?

They will not be cursed as long as they don't insult people. It isn't that difficult to avoid it.

Gift the hummingbird with overpowering hunger and the ability to digest anything. Increase its size to that of a dragon and give it enhanced strength.

I... Would not call that a gift exactly. Being hungry all the time and eating everything?

I would consider it better to not get attacked in the first place.
And anyways, how did you come back? I remember draining your corpse for the council's use...

"The powers, ideas and general outline are based off of Tykki. Tykki's insides are made of guns, from the outside she is indistinguishable for a human. Remember how you yourself thought my Angels where simply humans, in the library?"

So Yaos was the best, because you made your angels in his form? :P

"Powers, ideas, and general outline"... What? What about the angel that is a building with an atomizing hammer?
And I have an angel who is a cloak of jellyfish with none of Tykki's powers as far as I know...

...Speaking of Fusil's incredibly sensitive ego and over-the-top hostility, would anyone like to be part of a protective alliance to defend each other from his attacks, should we see them as unprovoked? If an attack is in response to a member of the alliance attempting to take advantage of the protection and abuse the system and thus endanger the other members of the alliance and their followers...well...we might just aid him in their punishment.

And yes, I present this in public because it is as much meant to act as deterrent to Fusil as it is to act as actual shield.

And you admitted Tykki was being beaten by the forces attacking you when you died the first time...

"As I said, Tykki had been ordered to fake her own defeat, in order to insure that I would be able to revive properly. That is why she was capable of escaping Cim's bonds easily, even while I was imprisoned."

I don't actually believe Tykki could be defeated in one and one combat by any of our angels...except Khaziraad's. I believe the God of Architecture's current archangel could simply obliterate Tykki, or at least deal enough damage that she would be in no condition to continue combat.

Really? So you believe that the rest of us would have been so moronic as to be incapable of realizing that those features were beneficial to include in an Angel, who are designed to be servants? That we would have made servants that could not even distinguish between themselves and the outside world? That we would have found angels that could not think for themselves to be good to delegate tasks to? That we would have made servants, specifically for us, without actually having them connected to us? That we would have limited our servant's movements to a single plane, and to the speed of their feet, or wings? All this we would have been so idiotic as to do, without your oh-so-magificent guidance, great Fusil-on-high?

Do not insult the intelligence of literally everyone here by insinuating that we would be incapable of such basic logic. Moreover; get over yourself. If you were as good as you say you are, why do any of us even exist? We would be dead, instantly, as soon as anything we did came into conflict with what you desired. You are not perfect. This world is not perfect. Perfection is something to be striven towards, not to be content at. If the world is perfect, where is your motivation? What could your goal possibly be, if everything is as it should be, and could get no better?

This world is not perfect. Neither are you. The sooner you learn to accept that, the less unhappy you will be.

And as for you, mortal Hummingbird...what makes you worthy of giving a task to Gods? You simply wish to brew conflict, and watch it for your own amusement, the suffering of other mortals in the process, and the strife it causes in the Heavens, be damned. Begone with you! The Gods grant boons to their followers; why would any of us wish to grant a boon upon you? For your amusement? You disgust me. You are not worthy of giving worship to the Gods; your worship would be false, and your patron would shift with the winds, as the Gods grew in power or prestige, always trying to cling to the winner, like a mercenary without a sense of honor or professional pride. I will speak no more to you, and will be greatly displeased if your own followers continue to make trouble in an attempt to lay claim to dominion over the Gods.

Investigations into the deaths of Fusil's followers will have to begin. It is likely time for Those Ones to be created.

Silly hummingbird, why would anyone want to demonstrate their superiority to someone who so obviously wants to cause trouble from it? Well, there probably are reasons, but still.

Also, I seem to have forgotten about the other angel of mine. She will, as of now, be named Idris. I'll also upgrade her to be combat-enhanced. Having someone around that's good at fighting is generally a good thing.
Speaking of which, a protective alliance would not be a bad idea. I'd support and join it, when it's a thing.

The fact that you are all to stupid to come up with a similar plan yourself is not relevant. Tykki was the first Angel, and it is doubtful that there would even be others if not for her existence. You do realize that she was also the first servant, correct? All of those things you stated is assuming that everyone would want to make an Angel as they are now. That would simply not be possible, nobody had even thought of creating Angels before Tykki. Once my Tykki graced this world, everyone saw her glory and decided they would like a lesser copy for themselves. Every Angel out there is simply a copy of Tykki, idea, template, and spirit."

All of those brilliant features I added into my Tykki created something amazing, everyone else saw that and followed the leader. You seem to assume that everyone simply decided one day to make servants. They had only done so after seeing how useful Tykki was. If Tykki hadn't been created, there would be no other servants, using the template or no.

For the second point, because I am merciful. The fact you have not been cut down yet is only because I am in a good mood. If none of you had existed, my followers may get bored anyway. I am perfect, and so is this world. My motivation is to keep it that way, removing the petty and unnecessary evils that you throw at it. To remove the void, stone men, and other threats that attempt to break the perfection. The goal is to preserve, as there is nothing to improve on."

Tick 52: Crucible

A crowd of people insulting the gods has been cursed by Serac to begin a gradual transformation into seagulls of imminent death progressing with every insult and persisting after death.

Grauel has given a Famous Hummingbird the gift of extreme hunger and the ability to digest anything along with the size of a dragon. The Famous Dinosaur is soon seen chewing on trees. "Excellent gift, but what about the others?"

To Darruth, the Famous Hummingbird says "I expected that. Do you want the honor of being worshipped by me?"

Khaziraad has assigned Kyloth, Artist of Worlds, with improving the natural landscape further. Kyloth sets out into the wildrness to begin working.

A Luminee has been inspired to become super-intelligent. This has the effect of driving the Luminee to extended study at a nearby place of learning. The Luminee slowly begins starving.

Joha has created many millions of Wood Elves.

This update's constellations are the Ring and Claw.

"Your openly creating an alliance just to spite me? Your insults are insulting. Are you attempting to make me want to kill you?"

Self-defense and spite are not the same thing. Also, you're demonstrating quite nicely why I feel I need to form such an alliance; if it makes you feel better if I say I feel threatened by your threats, so be it. But if you make threats, people will react, and not always in the way you wish them to. So, I make an alliance in an attempt for both self-preservation, and to help others who may feel the same way.

"The God of Archetectur's servant was beat up by a few stone men and a stone Angel. Tykki defeated the Stone Angel and more stone men then the Castle Angel could manage, without blowing herself half up. The fact that she can teleport to the other side of the bubble faster than It can swing Its hammer means Tykki is all but immune to the explosive effects, not counting her literal invulnerability and ability to block the weapon normally."

Actually, untrue. His servant was injured grievously because it's own power was so enormous that it could not withstand it's full force. Considering that angel is partially made up of a plane, and if I remember correctly, took several of your nukes to the metaphorical face without dropping, that only says something about it's power, not it's durability. I doubt the invulnerability is total, and if she were to block, his hammer would simply change whatever was used to block into the chemical compounds it does anything else, I believe. And, of course, there's the fact that saying that Tykki can retreat faster than it can attack means she isn't actually fighting it; she's running away. Or strategically retreating, if you prefer, but the fact remains that she can do very little to him, and staying around long enough to manage to do so means risking getting blown up.

Mmmmm....no, I don't really believe you. For one thing, there's a lot of flaws in your logic, and that contradicts other things you've said, like saying that Yaos died when you revived. Or, for instance, the fact that none of the times Yaos revived, which is our only other sample for revival, the revival of the god was announced publicly. I do not believe that it would be possible to hide such a thing, actually. Plus, as I said, it contradicts your own statements.

I have made the Templars, I have made a warrior race, and I have shown more of a distaste to murder people without cause, at least more than you(and yes, I'm referring to Cim. Again.). And I suppose no other God has used essence to try and gain followers ever, after all, I mean, that's not what Gods do, after all.

As sarcasm translates poorly in divine speech, I'll make it more evident. That was sarcasm, that last bit.

Quote

Really? So you believe that the rest of us would have been so moronic as to be incapable of realizing that those features were beneficial to include in an Angel, who are designed to be servants? That we would have made servants that could not even distinguish between themselves and the outside world? That we would have found angels that could not think for themselves to be good to delegate tasks to? That we would have made servants, specifically for us, without actually having them connected to us? That we would have limited our servant's movements to a single plane, and to the speed of their feet, or wings? All this we would have been so idiotic as to do, without your oh-so-magificent guidance, great Fusil-on-high?

"Learn your history, Durrath. Your idiotic side is showing. Before me, the assumption was that 'avatars' would be mind-controlled, sentient non-sapient, and a load of other odd things. I refined them into Tykki, on the way creating the general Angel template that all Angels are created on. Even your Generic Angels are based off of Tykki. The fact that you are all to stupid to come up with a similar plan yourself is not relevant. Tykki was the first Angel, and it is doubtful that there would even be others if not for her existence. You do realize that she was also the first servant, correct? All of those things you stated is assuming that everyone would want to make an Angel as they are now. That would simply not be possible, nobody had even thought of creating Angels before Tykki. Once my Tykki graced this world, everyone saw her glory and decided they would like a lesser copy for themselves. Every Angel out there is simply a copy of Tykki, idea, template, and spirit."
Those would be Avatars, not Angels, then. I was not even around when you made Tykki, so how can you be so sure that I would not have made an Angel before you did? My angels, at least some of them, are actually quite different from Tykki in significant ways...besides, I'd like to point out that the prototype of a weapon tends to have all the bugs and design flaws, that get edited out in later iterations. Unless you believe a musket to be superior to a Dragunov sniper rifle?

Quote

Do not insult the intelligence of literally everyone here by insinuating that we would be incapable of such basic logic. Moreover; get over yourself. If you were as good as you say you are, why do any of us even exist? We would be dead, instantly, as soon as anything we did came into conflict with what you desired. You are not perfect. This world is not perfect. Perfection is something to be striven towards, not to be content at. If the world is perfect, where is your motivation? What could your goal possibly be, if everything is as it should be, and could get no better?

"Again, you stupidly assume that Angels would exist at all without Tykki. 'Angels' didn't exist before her. No servants had been created before her. All of those brilliant features I added into my Tykki created something amazing, everyone else saw that and followed the leader. You seem to assume that everyone simply decided one day to make servants. They had only done so after seeing how useful Tykki was. If Tykki hadn't been created, there would be no other servants, using the template or no.

For the second point, because I am merciful. The fact you have not been cut down yet is only because I am in a good mood. If none of you had existed, my followers may get bored anyway. I am perfect, and so is this world. My motivation is to keep it that way, removing the petty and unnecessary evils that you throw at it. To remove the void, stone men, and other threats that attempt to break the perfection. The goal is to preserve, as there is nothing to improve on."

Quote

"That was the real Durrath. As you can see, he has a bit of an inferiority complex. Because he is so inferior. He is so pathetic, he thinks that yelling at innocent mortals makes him more powerful. No wonder he was voted the worst among the gods, ah?"

Yes, so mature of you, Fusil. You truly are a God among Gods, demonstrating your incredible ability to resort to petty insult and blatant falsehoods.

Now, on a different topic; Serac, what was that you were saying about a Goddess of Dust and Death? Death is not part of your domain as far as I am aware....

Self-defense and spite are not the same thing. Also, you're demonstrating quite nicely why I feel I need to form such an alliance; if it makes you feel better if I say I feel threatened by your threats, so be it. But if you make threats, people will react, and not always in the way you wish them to. So, I make an alliance in an attempt for both self-preservation, and to help others who may feel the same way.

"This is just insulting. Do I have any reason you are not simply attempting to kill me, as the last 'alliance' against me had? Perhaps I should form my own group, to defend us from your stupidity? It is only a matter of time before you do something that gets millions of mortals killed..."

Quote

Actually, untrue. His servant was injured grievously because it's own power was so enormous that it could not withstand it's full force. Considering that angel is partially made up of a plane, and if I remember correctly, took several of your nukes to the metaphorical face without dropping, that only says something about it's power, not it's durability. I doubt the invulnerability is total, and if she were to block, his hammer would simply change whatever was used to block into the chemical compounds it does anything else, I believe. And, of course, there's the fact that saying that Tykki can retreat faster than it can attack means she isn't actually fighting it; she's running away. Or strategically retreating, if you prefer, but the fact remains that she can do very little to him, and staying around long enough to manage to do so means risking getting blown up.

"The Worldbuilder was injured before exploding himself, and if you had the listening comprehension of a squirrel you would understand that. Go over the records if you do not believe me, the Stone Men and Stone Angel where capable of damaging him just as much as he damaged them. I never nuked him, my nukes are more powerful than said hammer. The fact that I am a weapon god means my weapons are the best, the God of Archetectur's hammer will have no effect on Tykki's blade. In fact, Tykki would likely damage the hammer. She can also teleport back in the same amount of time, fire a few shells, and repeat the process until it is obliterated. You think with your head, if you haven't figured that out yet. Tykki has access to real nukes, and I am perfectly capable of changing her main weapon to something capable of firing nuclear ordnance. Seeing as he managed to survive his own attack, and Tykki is tougher still than him, I would say she could survive no problem."

Quote

Mmmmm....no, I don't really believe you. For one thing, there's a lot of flaws in your logic, and that contradicts other things you've said, like saying that Yaos died when you revived. Or, for instance, the fact that none of the times Yaos revived, which is our only other sample for revival, the revival of the god was announced publicly. I do not believe that it would be possible to hide such a thing, actually. Plus, as I said, it contradicts your own statements.

"I also have no reason to care if you believe me. That is what happened, and can be easily seen. If you are not intelligent enough to realize that is the truth, and too incompetent to look for any evidence yourself, you must suffer the consequences."

Quote

"I am saying that you caused the life ending blizzard catastrophe to stop the fighting. Raining on my parade for petty reasons. The God of Hunger is the only one to do it often enough to warrant notice, and he is hardly the type to summon random blizzards at a Feast."

Quote

Unless you believe a musket to be superior to a Dragunov sniper rifle?

"Tykki's original design was called an 'avatar'. She was named the Angel of Arms, by me. This was not a class, as she was the only one. My Avatar. My Tykki. Her design was copied for the Angel template, and the name changed. She fit into the new class, as she created it. The first Angel, now called an Archangel. No matter how 'different' you say your Angels are, the base is still the same. Many of the necessary powers are still the same. And, most importantly, their purpose is still the same. No matter how different you make your Angels, they still are there only to copy Tykki's original purpose. Tykki was not a prototype, and the fact that everyone copied her template makes it more like comparing the AK-47 to a cheap foreign ripoff. The fact that Tykki has been constantly upgraded keeps her the most powerful, even if someone attempted to make a more powerful Angel they would be doomed to failure."

The Imperial Cavalry is sent to help the Imperial Army with their duties of patrolling trade routes. Patrols are more closely limited to the ones that provide the most profit to the Empire.

The injured labourers are healed. The Humanos Grande Controlados help with the building of the Grand Temple.

Those cities that have been razed by the Stone Warriors and are devoid of life have their streets cleared of rubble by the Humanos Grande. Imperial colonists are sent to these cities where they will rebuild with the assistance of the Humanos Regiment. Shinies and other treasures found inside the treasuries of the cities will be recorded and sent to the capital.

I'm occupying the cities because no one has done so after several Ticks and I'm loathe to let good cities go to waste. As well as looting them I'm recording what loot is being taken so that if those cities were part of a larger kingdom or empire, the loot can be returned. I did not destroy the cities - the Stone Warriors did. Apparently, there was also a Stone Angel I didn't even know about until about an hour ago.)

If I remember correctly, the punishment was bitch-slapping, expulsion from the priesthood, and execution. The Stone Warriors stopped appearing after that. As for how exactly they were being created and such, we have no idea. We didn't even know about no 'Stone Angel' until Fusil mentioned it recently."

Quote from: KJP

The regiments notice strange vegetation around the buildings and the colonizers notice an eerie presence and unnatural sounds throughout the night. They fearfully set up camp clustered together and make sure to return half an hour before sunset. A child disappears mysteriously a week into their attempt. Events of this sort occur in all of the previously razed towns.

All colonists are made to return home. The cities are scanned with the VDD ((WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER!?)). The missing child is tracked via soul-sensing, chi-sensing, magic-sensing, and scent (via a small group of Cavalrymen).

You are arrogent and expect everyone to do as you say. You act like the gods should be honored to have your worship. We aren't. Now, just one more thing...

Pick a god and pray!!!
Shoot a wave that carries him into a nearby village and dumps him on the ground in the main gathering place (Town square type thing).

Yaos: Many shinies of varying amounts of actual metal have been recorded and sent to the Keshan Human Imperial capital. There are also a few magic items, most of which have to do with food and exhibit a non-trivial trace of Void influence.

Colonists sent to the haunted cities have returned after numerous incidents. The cities give off Void radiation. The missing children are present around various terrifying buildings in the form of mostly digested bits. Some cavalrymen inexplicably and silently disappear during the search.

Serac: The Famous Hummingbird lands at the village square. He shouts "Not until someone is confirmed to be the best!" He begins eating some nearby shrubbery.

Tick 52.5: Mischief

Joha has created many tens of thousands of Ikan

The Human Imperial Cavalry has begun a more efficient patrol schedule with the Human Imperial Army. Laborers injured after poor performance by the remaining Golems have been healed. Controlados assist in the construction of Yaos' Grand Temple.

Colonization efforts at the razed cities have been hampered by strange happenings. The more easily taken shinies and magic items have been sent back to the Human Imperial capital. The cities themselves seem to have some Void influence, and missing children are found, mostly digested.

The Famous Hummingbird has been sent into a nearby village square and told to pick a god and pray. He continues to refuse to serve any god without the Council's backing.

Kli has investigated the Famous Hummingbird and found that he is responsible only to the extent that he created the Hummingbirds in the first place. The Famous Hummingbird seems to have been a brash, incredibly rude Hummingbird during his time at the School of Balance.

This update's constellations are the Dagger and Sword.

"What would anyone gain from murdering my followers in such a manner? It was an action of another god, even your own followers would be harmed by a godly. My followers, the Armu, have Godlike powers and are capable of surviving under nearly any terrain, including moons. They are fully capable of space travel as well, something no other race can boast. The Seppo, likewise, are not built for combat as the Armu are but are powerful enchanters and could come up with something to ward away the cold. No, they where only killed because it was an indirect assault by a God."

Tick 53: Silence

Neron has created the Spirits of the North, talkative wind spirits that advise those lost in blizzards and comfort the dying. Legends of their existence begin spreading among the heat-dwellers. Neron has also successfully drained the power of the storms.

(The remaining Golems, the ones who didn't have much Void contamination, were also the ones who didn't do much for whatever reason. Selecting against those most contaminated with Voidstuff also selected against those most involved in construction work, leading to more mistakes.)

This update's constellations are the Shield and Eye.

Post by: Andres on December 03, 2014, 05:10:58 am

(Wow. Not a lot going on today, is there?)

Telialas and Zephemural are put under a full examination - this time including soul-compatibility testing and conversations with the swords - to make sure they're 100% perfect recreations. If they are, then Lette and Vaal fuse and nuke the Void cities. The areas are then scanned with the VDD and if they scan negative the Army will send one battalion to each site to set up military bases.

Vaal asks Palatino if he can remove the Void influence mermeating Vaal's adopted son. The son gets a private tutor who checks clean on the VDD.

The magical items connected to the Void are destroyed Inquisition-style by EVAC.

Are the angels getting any prayers sent to them? How much Essence do Lette and Vaal have?

The scientists at the ISAY are told that after 19 Ticks, unlimited material investment, complete - though incomprehensible - diagrams, a massive expansion in terms of personnel - including experts on energy manipulation, PLUS a new kind of science available to them, they should have some bloody simple energy weapons by now! They WILL finish the project by the next Tick! Especially since Telialas - in Human form - will teach them how energy manipulation through weapons works! They are also reminded to stay on top of Fusil worship.

ISAY is warded from unauthorised observation and intrusion.

Children who go to Imperial schools are made to pray to Yaos once in the morning and once in the evening.

Title: Re: Ye Gods [13+/999 players] IC: T53: Mischief
Post by: Kilojoule Proton on December 03, 2014, 05:24:36 am

Yaos: It seems Telialas and Zephemural are not completely perfect recreations. This may be an effect of differing air current patterns post-creation or something. They definitely seem uncannily odd despite being otherwise the same.

Vaal's adopted son is tutored on various subjects.

The EVAC attempts to destroy the magical Void items. It fails for a large fraction of them.

The angels seem not to be getting prayers. Lette and Vaal have exactly as much Essence as they can hold.

Some zealous researchers at the ISAY have shut down the school and trashed multiple weapons-related rooms in response to your mandate for Fusil worship. Some of the others report having made storage units for Ikaku energy, but dissipation is still too high and capacity is still too low for extended combat. They desperately hope the zealous ones did not destroy their work. Some mages attempt to set up wards around ISAY with the zealots still on the loose.

(I don't think there's quite enough stuff to justify a half-tick...)

Title: Re: Ye Gods [13+/999 players] IC: T53: Mischief
Post by: Andres on December 03, 2014, 06:07:45 am

(God damn it. I add one little sentence.)

ISAY scientists are told that they thought they were already praying to Fusil to help. If they don't want to worship him, that's fine, it was just a reminder to the scientists that thought it would help to continue doing so. An official apology is given for the poor wording of the "mandate".
The zealots are chastised for their rash and violent actions instead of behaving as the rational, gentlemanly (or ladylike) people they ought to be and officially, politely, and peacefully complaining about their issues. They are otherwise not punished.

Weapon and Hunger priests are asked to look over Telialas and Zephemural for anything that might be considered different. Maybe they've been aligned? Have they been check for Void influence as part of the full examination?

(Not enough for a half Tick? Challenge accepted!)

Spoiler: Empire Stuff (click to show/hide)

The Golems working on the Grand Temple are replaced by actually competent workers, assuming they're not already competent. Furthermore, more workers are added to the project regardless of if the Golems get replaced. Everyone is scanned for Void influence, of course.

What are the biggest Void cults in the Empire besides the Want cult (the only legal cult)?

Agriculture is given a boost to help foster population growth. The Gruen are contacted to see if they have any useful (non-Void) agricultural techniques or technologies that can be used.

An offer is made to the Ikakus of full citizenship within the Empire, with all the benefits and protections available. Moving expenses are, of course, paid for.

Regardless of if the Ikaku civilisations accept the deal, a large, uninhabited bit of wilderness (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100408190233/dragonball/images/d/d1/BreakWasteland.jpg) is prepared for all Ikakus and members of the Empire to learn, train, and innovate in chi techniques.
Regiments of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Cavalry - as well as the Paladins - will be cycled into the training grounds until they are all just as deadly without weapons as they are with them. The Paladins in particular will train there until they can fly only by using chi.
Controller Angels will be present to make sure no one dies from falling to death (in the case of Paladins) or running out of chi (in the case of everyone else and maybe a few Paladins).

Imperial generals are told to pray to the angels as a quick way of communicating information or alerting the Empire of danger.

Tick 54: Amateur campanology

Vaal's adopted son has been tutored on many subjects. The Human Empire's EVAC has attempted to destroy the recently collected magical Void items and has limited success.

Some zealots of Yaos have stopped their rampage at the ISAY. Most of the researchers are currently checking the damage. The zealots continue as normal, but there is a public burning of an elongated diamond effigy that night. The more level-headed members of the ISAY. They are chastised both for their rash behavior and antagonizing Fusil in general.

The weapons seem to have enough Void influence to trigger the VDD.

Skilled Human workers have been brought in to work on the Grand Temple. The biggest Void cults are, predictably, in hiding. Funding for agriculture has been increased. The Gruen seem to have somewhat inappropriate techniques given their mundivorous diet, and the Humans gain little from knowing how to treat rocks to make them tastier. A waste has been allocated for Ikaku and training use. It seems that most everyone, regardless of skill in any area, is inept at chi techniques. Controller Angels are present. Most of the Imperial generals agree to pray to Yaos' angels.

Gruen civilization is entering a period of great intellectual advancement with the successful planned feedbreeding of near-lighter-than-air Gruen to transport documents and limited cargo. The priests have done a good job of answering prayers even if most of them are answered in the negative. You hear the following prayers:
"What should I eat to make myself large?"
"I wish I could become a god of Berries."
"There is an annoying creature eating all my flowers! He landed in the town square a few weeks ago and has not stopped!"

The Rani, Shadow Ravens, and Snow Golems are doing fairly well. Many of the Shadow Ravens seem to have disappeared, but this is probably a matter of godly perception.
"I wish my son didn't go to that big Feast! I should have known!"
"My dog is stuck in the snow! Can you get him to come back?"
"I wish for frozen milk cream."

(From which world is The Truth visible?)

The Light has created the Reef of Souls, a luminescent coral reef for the merfolk.
Cactusman: "Can you make me have spines like the other cacti?"
Luminee: "I want to learn how to make the Light of Feeding!"
Crurcul the Destroying Light: "One of my daughters wants to marry a ceremonial dagger, but I disapprove. What should I do?"

(Not enough players doing anything for one tick, not not enough from any particular player who posted (the negation operator seems a bit slanted in English).)

This update's constellations are the Shield and Eye.

I have a few things to say before I must retire once more, the most pressing of which is this:

I did not kill your followers, Fusil, and am in fact working on finding out who did. You will not believe me, of course; you use deception often enough that you expect it from others as a matter of course. But it is nonetheless true.

Second; feel free to attempt to form an alliance to shield yourself as well. I fear you might have difficulty procuring allies who have not been alienated by your rash and imprudent behaviour, however.

(You still can't seem to manage to spell it right. Maybe I should call Fusil Fisul (pronounced fizzle) from now on...)

(also, I could have told you that it would make him more likely to try and kill you, not less...though it's not just Darruth in the alliance anymore. Serac at least agreed, I think a couple more from PMs...)

(it's not just Darruth in the alliance anymore. Serac at least agreed, I think a couple more from PMs...)

(Indeed. Joha at least openly joined the alliance. She was the first one to do so as well.)

So is Fusil going to retract or change his demands or not? I've got a response ready in either case.

I did not kill your followers, Fusil, and am in fact working on finding out who did. You will not believe me, of course; you use deception often enough that you expect it from others as a matter of course. But it is nonetheless true.

"Why should I trust you? That is exactly what you would have said if you had done it. My followers where killed. Frozen to death. The weak ones, too. Children attended that festival. As you can see, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, are crying over the corpses caused by another god. I can see no reason for this attack, it must have been caused by the least reasonable of us. I can see no answer but you."

Quote

Second; feel free to attempt to form an alliance to shield yourself as well. I fear you might have difficulty procuring allies who have not been alienated by your rash and imprudent behaviour, however.

"Maybe I have already done so? The slumbering gods have already offered me their support."

(You still can't seem to manage to spell it right. Maybe I should call Fusil Fisul (pronounced fizzle) from now on...)

(also, I could have told you that it would make him more likely to try and kill you, not less...though it's not just Darruth in the alliance anymore. Serac at least agreed, I think a couple more from PMs...)

(oh, maybe it was Joha; I'm terrible at keeping track of text colors and all, mostly i've figured out Khaziraad, Grauel/Azem sometimes, Fusil, Yaos(sorta...), and Cim...)

Commission the construction of a Grand Cathedral, with aid from the greatest artists, construxtion workers(yes this includes Golems mostly), and architects of the age. It should be designed for use both by those who can travel by flight, and those who are confined to the ground, and magnify the glories and virtues of Goodness. It should be constructed in the largest of the Good cities, and smaller(but still large) Cathedrals should be built in the rest. Ask the God of Architecture(coughKhaziraadcough) for help.

See if I can help make his archangel a bit tougher in a significant manner without spending more than 1 or two essence.

They had an equal amount of success as the colonists. I was about to nuke the cities entirely but apparently Grauel screwed me on the swords and I'm not going to risk fusing them just to destroy some random cities.

Oh and don't pretend that Tykki's all that powerful. We all know how tired she always was whenever she was challenged to fight the Emperor."

"What my more level-headed friend is trying to say is this, and I'm adapting from a famous poet:
Look, fuck you; fuck the Void you were born from; fuck them guns; fuck your symbol with the diamond on it; fuck your stupid ass Luminee accent; fuck them cheap ass threats; fuck your Snow-addicted priests; fuck your angels; fuck your temples; fuck Tykki; fuck STF.

"Looks like I have my answer. Tykki, it is time for us to test the fourth meaning of vindico. The Empire is now mine. You are now killed. Then I will claim the knife.

Now, I am a reasonable deity. I don't want to have to waste the effort of taking over an entire Empire if it is just going to be ruins afterwards. So I will give you two choices. The first, which I hope you take, is combat by champion. Tykki will fight whoever you choose to send alone, including your fused form. A binding contract will be signed, and control of the Empire will remain with the winner's god. I am going to kill you when I win anyway. Your second choice is to remain hidden while I unleash my new creation on my Empire. There will be mass destruction, though I will do my best to avoid it, in an all out war it is only inevitable. I will still conquer it and kill you, but it will be harder on both of us. Choose wisely."

The battle is won when one side is entirely annihilated. If you want to sit out the fight, we won't hold it against you. I'm disappointed that you would try to trick us like that, though. Your dying would mean nothing since you'll get everything you want and you'll just come back to life like you did last time you died."

The weapons seem to have enough Void influence to trigger the VDD.

So Fusil's in that deep with the Void, eh? Well what about the EC-1 crossbow bolts? Everything and everyone in the academy is scanned for Void influence. Everything with Void influence is destroyed (in case of equipment) or cast out (in case of personnel). Only theoretical stuff like research notes and stuff are preserved. ISAY moves to a new building and begins working on armour that can aid in mobility, perhaps using alchemy.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on December 03, 2014, 11:11:00 pm

It seems that most everyone, regardless of skill in any area, is inept at chi techniques. Most of the Imperial generals agree to pray to Yaos' angels.

Luckily, everyone is able to use chi techniques so the only thing needed is more practice. The Imperial generals are told that worshipping the angels aren't necessary at all. Prayer should only be used like a faster, more efficient courier.
For example:
'Dear Lette and Vaal,
Enemies have been spotted approaching Heldinheim. They appear to be made of stone.
Amen.'

Do you think 300 tentacles with handguns, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, anti-materiel rifles, sub-machine guns, and other assorted shooty things will be good practice for the upcoming battle? It should either drown out the music or make me not care about it.

Telialas and Zephemural are put under a full examination - this time including soul-compatibility testing and conversations with the swords - to make sure they're 100% perfect recreations.

The definition of a full examination:

Quote from: Andres on November 18, 2014, 12:27:00 am

The Emperor is checked for everything: Essence, Void, magic, life, sentience, science-stuff, poison, and also the condition of the corpse.

Just replace 'condition of the corpse' with 'physical condition'. The Void stuff should've been detected during the full examination.

So are the EC-1 bolts complete? Can manufacturing begin? The researchers that test positive for Void influence are made to leave under armed escort. The research done on the Hilda and the Scion are copied and everything that doesn't test positive for Void influence is preserved. The rest is destroyed Inquisition-style. Since the materials used to make prototypes and the research notes used to create them have been copied without Void influence everything should be fine. What can the prototypes do? How many charges do they hold?

What are these Essence orbs I keep hearing about? I haven't resolved their creation or defined their existence anywhere.

Yaos: The EC-1 bolts are mostly working now. Manufacturing may begin, but it will take months to start production. The researchers with some Void influence are escorted out. Copies of critical work have been made. Attempts are made to destroy anything with Void influence.

"Our poor little children! Le'ungaysh says explosions, so explosions it is!"

The building in which the items slated for destruction are located has suffered from a sudden deficiency of structural strength and thermal resistance. The items are destroyed, along with all the EVAC members assigned to the task and occupants in general.

"As you can see, not all of us are content to stand back and watch as you destroy our and our allies' creations. I hate to say this, but let this be an example of what my less disciplined brethren will do if you continue to antagonize us."

Storing Essence outside body: Limited amounts and on a case-by-case basis. Attempts to abuse the system will net an immediate warning just as attempting to create overpowered things would.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on December 04, 2014, 04:43:00 am

The EC-1 bolts are mostly working now. Manufacturing may begin, but it will take months to start production.

Excellent! Production will begin as soon as possible! Hopefully the factories will be done by the next Tick by using NEBULOUS PASSAGE OF TIME. Just ignore the whole battle preparations. It's been delayed until the other gods get here, after all.

Is there any magic that would allow one being - an angel for example - to possess another willing being, use that body for things like martial arts, and thus instil muscle memory in the possessed?

Essence orbs: Ah, OK, then.

Instilling muscle memory: That sounds close to being overpowered without some limitations. Care to detail?

Post by: Andres on December 04, 2014, 05:29:52 am

The angel will have to practice an equal amount to get the muscle memory. Yes all the moves are being done correctly but that's balanced by the fact that it's not the person themselves doing it. The real strength is in showing the possessed that they are able to do something with their own body and how to actually do it. The possessed will then practice the move by themselves, knowing how to move their body to get the results but still requiring practice to get it as muscle memory.
I only thought of this while I was writing. Originally it was going to be just as OP as you thought it was - though its OPness didn't come to mind at the time - so I changed it a fair bit.

Tick 54.5: Dusk of Peace

Work has begun on a Grand Cathedral in the largest of the Good cities. Smaller cathedrals have begun to be constructed in the other Good cities.

Darruth: It seems like even 2E is too low for a significant amount of toughening.

The Templars have begun an attempt to investigate the abandoned cities. Quite a few disappear silently, and they turn back quickly to cut losses.

The gods have been afflicted with annoying noises. There is now a sound of loud crying in the Council.

Construction of factories for the production of EC-1 bolts has begun. ISAY has removed Void-related reseearchers and attempted a purge of Void-related things. This backfires spectacularly.

(I've found that writing things out is a good way to improve things in general even if it's just a paraphrase. The new idea sounds better, but possession is a non-trivial action for non-gods.)

Active player policy has been updated on the local copy.

This update's constellations are the Lance and Lady.

I, Quéßäre, hereby pass my first action as a God. I create a new species, the High Elves. They are taller and wiser than their Wood-Elf counterparts and don't mind chopping down a few trees. They place more value on technology and military. They are eternally young, immune to disease, but may still be struck down as other mortals.

Lette: "Sup, new god."
Vaal: "Welcome to our Bubble. Please don't make Void deals or even communicate with them."

(You may want to specify how many High Elves you create and on what planet you create them on. The usual thing to do is to make 300 of a new race and propagate them (propagating is cheaper than creating). The usual thing is to also put members of a new race on both planets but you don't have to if you don't want to.)

Some High Elves, being so interested in technology and being utterly free of Void influence, are invited to join ISAY - the absolute best place of science and learning in the entire universe. Literally!
The rest of the High Elves are given offers to become official citizens of the Empire. We sure love our technology and military, after all!

"You could've used the Essence you didn't gain from cultists to get the job done. More than that, a large majority of the sacrifices were evil, but they weren't Void-affiliated. We wanted exact replicas and we didn't get exact replicas. We want refunds either by giving us the Essence you gained (possibly in the form of Essence orbs) or get exact replicas of our swords built. Maybe get another god to help you?"

I gave replicas of the swords that are accordingly effective with what was paid. You can't make swords because you don't have enough essence, so you gave me something that was convertible into essence for me to make the swords. It's only natural that I would use the converted essence. That was the whole idea of your end of the bargain, so I wouldn't have to use my own essence for those swords and that I'd get a little extra for making them for you. Besides, you didn't have to do things that way. I gave multiple payment options that would have used my own essence in exchange for something else. Neither one of us could predict this would happen from a contaminated essence source that you picked out. I'm hardly screwing you over.

If you want a refund, give back the swords and you'll get what direct essence I can get from them. No refund without a return.

The High Elves seem to be unready for citizenship in other places. They have yet to form a true cultural identity in just a few days. All of them do agree to joining ISAY, but most of them probably stay around.

(The Light: -6E)
The Light: The cactus has become fearless and spiny.
You have taught the Light of Feeding to the one who asked, and he uses it to open a restaurant.
Crurcul: "My daughter decided to marry an exceptionally crafted halberd of good lineage instead. Thanks!"

You also begin constructing a box big enough to hold a god.

The City of Light is nearing completion

"When was the last time you checked? I had to fire most of the Golem workers that showed up to work on the Grand Temple because they had Void influence. I also notice how you only mentioned checking the Golems and the Mountwyrms and NOT the Gruen and Ritan like I suggested. Check them and you'll find heaps. Humans don't kill themselves en mass, the Void manifestation happened many centuries and dozens of Ticks ago during the Inquisitions infancy, and cult 'outbreaks' don't exist in other civilisations because they're freely accepted and thus don't need to 'break out'."

"No, you do not understand. They had void influence because they where near events where it happened. Think of it this way. Do you remember that shell I fired at the Dead God? The one that made him recoil? Such a weapon leaves 'filth' behind. If one is to go near an area where it has gone off, the 'filth' effects them. The Golems are perfectly innocent in every way, in fact where likely the ones who fought the void. You do not understand anything about said void. We have seen plenty of examples of killing themselves in mass. It happened in a small village near the coast, I remember investigating it myself. Do your followers lives mean so little to you?"

"Esteemed lords and ladies of the Council, the Goldfather requests that I be able to represent him and handle most public communication."

"You seem to have a better personality than Yaos's Angels. I approve. Now tell him that he should join in the fight, as he promised to. Lets see how Durrath likes it when his little 'alliance' is exposed as the powder keg it is."

Greettings for our new coleague and greetings for Saphira.

@Saphira What could possibly be so involving as to prevent God from participating in the Council? I am not acusing or implying, I am merely curious.

@Quéßäre Greetings, and welcome to the Council. I am not sure if you are late or right on time. Treachery and lies are abundant, both among Gods and mortals. Welcome aboard. I reccomend creating a race of devoted followers to support your future projects. As long as you do not promote sensless destruction, we shall get along just fine.

Tick 55: Dawn of War

The source of the music has yet to be identified. It has switched to an equally annoying song about a Human of Muffins.

Quéßäre has created the High Elves. They have all been granted access to ISAY and are offered citizenship in the Human Empire. They decline for now. Housing for them is currently under construction.

A cactusman has become like a prickly pear. A Luminee has learned the light of Feeding and opened a restaurant using it. Crurcul's daughter has married an exceptionally crafted halberd. The Light has constructed a box able to hold a god. The City of Light is nearing completion.

Yaosian missionaries report some success in other lands.

Neron has convinced a dog stuck in the snow to return and invented ice cream. The followers of Neron have begun training to form an army, and the Ice Titans have begun constructing walls in earnest. The civilians have been warned that this war may become messy and affect everyone.

(The de layout doesn't seem to have the acute accent, but the us alt-intl layout doesn't have the ß. Ah well.)

This update's constellations are the Hammer and Gravestone. Prophetic, no? The Keshan aurora glow brightly with many strange colors.

Yaos: The Gruen assist with the recovery of valuable ores. It is still difficult because of the depth of the ores and degree of differentiation of the moon, but they at least have access to non-meteoric metal. Now comes the trouble of refining the ores. The on-world thinkers estimate that they would have to eat through miles/kilometers of rock to reach a more enriched depth.

Grauel: The Gruen has sprouted leathery wings and begun chasing after the Florivorous Hummingsaur. The Florivorous Hummingsaur flees and reissues his challenge. The Gruen thanks you greatly.

Darruth: The Good cities have been alerted, and enlistment is at a few thousand now. The dwarves and Mountwyrms send caravans filled with arms. They seem to know demand will be high. Your priests bless the warriors with fervor and protections. The Templars and Guardian Angels help with training the recruits. Palatino prepares for the strain of teleporting large groups to and fro.

A prophet, Ęxum, comes down to the High Elves and tells them of the will of Quéßäre. They are to leave the empire and build a great civilization in a mountain chain. They agree to ally with the Empire and trade with it, but decline the invitation to join so that they may be their own self-governing society. They pack up and begin their quest, following Ęxum.

An Armu-Seppo caravan travels to the High-Elf land. Now that you have shinies, you will have to spend them on something. They offer trade, because I ran out of interesting ways to introduce them to new races ages ago. As weapon making experts, they show off some of the new equipment, with demonstrations if needed.

The High Elves are advised to use the shinies to hire labourers and buy land instead of buying weapons they won't need for at least another two Ticks.

The High-Elves are appalled by the shootings and refuse to trade with such degenerates that murder eachother about them. They refuse politely, moving onward on their trek. However, they soon realize that they will need some weapons and buy a few with the shinies that had not been discarded. The prophet tells them they are not at the right place, so they continue the journey. They have no money with which to trade with the Dwarves, unfortunately and most move on.

I communicate further with my prophet, causing him to lead the High Elves to a northern mountain chain and settle there. They establish a capital city of an undisclosed location. The Capitol, Árenne, is established. They become a constitutional monarchy and elect a Queen who holds all power in war time, with a council of representatives who hold power otherwise. They re-elect the monarch every 5 years. They find the mountains to be full of gems and metal, and soon begin large-scale smithing. Their craftsmanship is quite good, so they send a caravan to the empire to sell some weapons, armor, tools, and crafts and buy some seeds and food. They begin preparing the soil for terrace farming. They ask their trade partners at the empire for some grapes with the other seeds.

The implosion seems to have no discernible cause to those who attempted to look directly at it. Much of the sand and soil has been turned over likely from the force of the implosion. Tory has been called back.

The High Elves venture to a mountain chain to the north and settle Árenne. They almost immediately begin mining and have established a .constitutional monarchy with a council of representatives. They have also begun preparing for terrace farming but have yet to send out any caravans.

(In the future, please do not determine resources on your own. It can quite easily lead to overpowered actions as in this case, which I unfortunately have to tone down. Time is also currently passing slowly, and each tick covers only a few days or weeks at most at the moment.)

Tick 56: Con of More

The cities of Good have managed to recruit many soldiers with little difficulty.

The High Elves have been told of the immense dangers of the Void and how its worship illegal in Human lands. They have also learned of the existence of Yaos and Ambition and been offered shinies in exchange for becoming members of the Empire. Ȩxum, a prophet of Quéssäre, has told the High Elves of the will of Quéßäre and to leave the Empire to build their own civilization in a mountain chain. They have agreed to ally and trade with the Empire but decline joining. They leave and follow Ȩxum. They have discarded the shinies they were given and have embarked on their quest.

An Armu-Seppo caravan has attempted to travel to the land of the High Elves before they reach their chosen land. Fusil's angels have shot down some advisers from Yaos. A Mountwyrm-Dwarf caravan has likewise caught up with the High Elves before they reached their chosen land and have been similarly rejected. The High Elves eventually relent and buy some weapons and move on past the caravans to an unknown location, where they have settled and begun constructing Árenne. They have almost immediately begun mining and farming.

The Mountwyrms and Dwarves cancel Trade: Interrupted by Tentacle Monsters (Armu Traders).

The Yaosian angels have attempted to hire Tier 5 golems. This may end up being similar to hiring Human royalty to act as bodyguards...

The Light has given the High Elves a perpetually glowing crystal so that they never get lost. The Light has also fortified the god holding box.

A minor conflict has erupted between Lee and the CKG Institute, who had found and claimed one of Khaziraad's puzzleboxes. A brief lawmancer duel resulted in which the CKG rebuffed the Yaosians' advances. The cultists held in stasis have been delivered to Kyloth. Khaziraad has given control over the puzzlebox to Lee. The Night Elves initiate backup procedures and attempt to destroy the structure. This backfires on them, and chunks of the puzzlebox fall on thee ones responsible.

A massive implosion far in a Slythan desert has attracted the attention of many gods. No cause has been identified so far.

The annoying music continues to play in the gods' perception despite the additional tick. Perhaps this may have retroactively been the cause of the upcoming battle.

This update's constellations are the Hammer and Gravestone still. The Solium Fractum has reached prominence. An inauspicious meteor shower has fallen over Keshan.

The Yaosian angels have attempted to hire Tier 5 golems. This may end up being similar to hiring Human royalty to act as bodyguards...

Quote from: Guide to Golemkind

Tier 5:

• Lifesmiths
• Scientists
• Grand architects (Build castles, mansions, temples, large monuments and art architecture
• Military commanders

Really, KJP? -_-

"As I told you before, my body is based after Tykki's. What I call my "heart" is an ever-beating hammer of a gun. It is quite well oiled and shriveled, last I checked.

As for the rest, you are about to see just how wrong you are. I don't really want the human empire. I am just going to disband it after getting rid of a few things I don't like. The real reason of this fight was to prove a point. You are weak, stupid, and utterly illogical. Your little alliance thing did not serve to assist the people joining. It only formed a powder keg that joined them into war. Your attempts at peace will lead to many deaths on your side. You and whatever you bring with you will be crushed completely, and you will finally have your eyes open to what happens when you anger the one and only God of War by murdering his innocent followers!"

As was stated, in the end they'll be eaten even if they are buried. It's the cycle of nature. Only difference is if it's the worms or me. Maybe I should just go with Decay for my second sphere. I could absorb the energy and leave some bones or something that way I guess.

The Unnamed Conflict: Round 1

[War music plays] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jmk5frp6-3Q)

The forces of Fusil and the alliance meet a plain. On Fusil's side, there are thousands of thousands of massive brazen creatures manning immense ballistas and wielding many various weapons, melee and ranged A massive tentacled creature with hundreds of arms leads them, surrounded by a guard squad. STF leads various squads under heavy guard. On the alliance's side, there are hundreds of templars, Darruth's volunteer army, which numbers in the thousands, a few massive gem-clad Gem Dragons, the Imperial Army and Cavalry, squads of Ikaku, a line of many hundreds of Humanos Grandes, and tens of thousands of Saeva. Large floating ships periodically dropping tonnes of paper appear surrounded by smaller floating ships.

Dark, dense clouds have begun gathering around the airships.

Seconds before the signal is to be sounded, the Hooded Ducal Lich appears with a grand light show, radiating an aura of awe and fear and hovering above the battlefield. She stares directly at Fusil and then directly into Vaal's eyes.

The signal is given! The Imperial artillery has fired on Fusil's army, downing many of the bronze creatures, and so have Fusil's artillery specialists. Fire, brimstone, and explosions rock both sides, sending many into disarray. The colossal bronze men clash with the Humanos and are almost evenly matched. Fusil and STF rush above and through the alliance's army, killing many along the way with ruthless efficiency.

(Not all units are listed, because what's an angel or two in a sea of people? They're definitely on file, though.)

(I await the inevitable cryptographic hilarity when someone accidentally posts a key with 27 or 25 letters.)

The Unnamed Conflict: Round 2

[More battle music] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMi9NIzdfFk)

Two powerful shots have appeared from nowhere to blast the Vaalette, severely wounding them! One has struck a massive, powerful angel of Yaos and nearby angels, visibly wounding them! Fusil and STF are momentarily surprised!

The Templars have advanced to assist the Humanos in fending off the unrelenting blows of the bronze creatures. The Saeva have now reached the front and engage the bronze creatures, swarming around them. It is too early to tell who has the advantage, but the bronze creatures' weapons slice almost effortlessly through them.

The airships, too, have reached the front lines. They have begun dropping boulders larger than even the Imperial catapults instead of paper, crushing many of the bronze men.

A great angel has been released! It swoops in to duel Tykki along with a fused Vaal and Lette! Tykki parries their blows furiously, and all are slightly wounded.

Bombardments continue all over the battlefield. The alliance's artillery begins targeting Fusil's artillery with great success at the cost of a massive conflagration along the left flank of their rearguard.

The cavalry has begun flanking Fusil's army. The bronze warriors throw flashing explosives, stunning the horses and disrupting their maneuvers.  The army has now caught up to the Saeva, who have stopped fighting, and begins fighting off the bronze creatures with dwarven forged steel. It is quickly noticed that the creatures are solid bronze.

The Ikakus advance and begin charging. They are effective at damaging the bronze warriors, but a lot of the energy of the shots seem to be absorbed or dissipated somehow. They have begun charging again.

The assembled angels have set out to engagee the rest of STF. Fusil is cutting down assorted forces like a tornado made of metal and glass.

Isolated shots have taken out many of the squad leaders of the alliance. Most of the troops fight as well regardless.

The Hooded Ducal Lich raises her arms and begins whispering.

The Battle of the Second Crusade the Unnamed Conflict of Conflagration: Round 3

[Another piece] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I9lUw2D9MQ)

"None of yours, huge wretch." She waves her arms now, burning with mystic purple fire and crackling with magic. The dead of the battle rise up and begin fighting anyone not on her side. She points at an airship with one hand and begins whispering.

The Ikakus have released their energy blasts, cutting through countless bronze creatures effortlessly!

The priests of the alliance call forth the power of the heavens, and the dark clouds surrounding the floating ships respond. Lightning strikes everywhere, but they damage the bronze creatures as much as they damage the organics near the bronze creatures. The Palatine Arkanjel blesses a truly immense number of soldiers, and they fight harder. The Guardian angels of Darruth have come to take care of the stronger core of the bronze men.

Darruth has entered the battle directly! The sight of a god godly enough to fight in physical form is inspiring to the gods who remain away.

Vaalette has fused with Telialas and Zephemural and has begun zipping around slaughtering Fusil's army. He attempts to duel Fusil, who punches him into the alliance's army, crushing many along the way.

The boulders continue to rain down from the airships, as does lightning and hail. The bronze creatures are suffering heavier losses now. Many of their weapons malfunction from an excess of sponge or firing bubbles instead of bullets.

Tykki continues to duel the Archon. Her arms blink into biscuit dough for a moment, but they turn back. She continues fighting without missing a step. The Controlados begin to engage Tykki, who hurls something at them, vaporizing about a dozen. Kifo has appeared by Tykki as well.

(I sort of regret introducing you to encryption. I'll get to that stuff after this. :P)

Fusil asked what Varee's connection to the Void was. I didn't answer because he then said he'd kill me if I talked at all. Here's what I was going to say:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"When Lyle was kidnapped by the monkeys, he was driven insane by looking upon the true form of a Void messanger. That proves the connection between the Void and the monkeys. When Yaos mediated on the subject, he was greeted with a vision of the same monkeys trailing Mystic Snow. That proves the connection between the monkeys and Varee."

The cavalry has begun flanking Fusil's army. The bronze warriors throw flashing explosives, stunning the horses and disrupting their maneuvers.

The Imperial Cavalry actually uses wargs - horse-sized wolves - instead of horses. Maybe they should get a bonus to attack?

The Second Crusade: Round 4

[The next battle music] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xBgHBi5mBM)

A great godly force has attempted to banish the Lich and been deflected, teleporting numerous bronze creatures to the DBP. The airship she pointed at begins yawing rapidly, and the same occurs to Tykki, although this may actually endanger her current fighters. Sappira, Vaal, and Kifo continue attacking Tykki. She begins waving her glowing hands again, whispering.

Minos has deflected a massive blast from a non-Fusil source, taking out one of Vaal's legs, two of Sappira's, and vaporizing an enormous line of units from both sides. Many Imperial mages have burnt out assisting with this deflection.

The Ikakus release a blast at the tentacle monster! Fusil is stunned slightly.

Azem has entered the battle, slowly converting bronze warriors in contact into coins and shinies (mostly tacky battle site tourist items).

(@UTBFNITNRTFTJKTOLZPNDADAPNAZEZNZTNNIZZPAJKZZKZNYBPDOQZFF)

The Duondio has begun converting Fusil's army into wood, and the mass change manifests itself as a sharp rise in temperature on the battlefield.

The Warg-riding division of the Imperial cavalry has begun flanking maneuvers with greater success after the depletion of the flashing bombs.

There is a loud popping sound from a corner of the battlefield.

The Duondio (Ratu) was not supposed to turn anything into wood. He was supposed to work with Lee the Regular Angel and the Cavalry on something else entirely.
Warg-riding division? The ENTIRE Cavalry is supposed to be warg-riding. Horses haven't been invented, if I remember correctly.

The Second Crusade: Round 5

[No sound this time]

Yaos has been struck up!

The Lich points at the Duondio. "Your soul will still be mine." She disappears with a thunderclap.

The artilleries of both sides have mostly been spent or destroyed now.

The yawing of the airship has stabilized, and boulders continue falling. The weapons focus on Tykki. She falters, recovers, and begins ventilating the angels engaging her.

The bronze men have begun spreading out, attempting to surround the alliance's forces. They kick any wargs in the way effortlessly. Those whose weapons turned into amusing joke items loot the fallen.

Most of the Imperial mages working on wards burn out against something significant and massive. The archangels' weapons refuse to move. Vaalette bashes Tykki with a Breaker Shield,  disappears, and returns after a few minutes with a healed leg.

Focused blasts from Imperial mages have managed to take down one of STF's members.

The Ikakus and remains of the alliance artillery blast Tykki, staggering her. Her sponge-encrusted sword disappears, leaving a giant sponge husk. She twirls around with her wings, heavily lacerating her current fighters.

The Ikakus and Lettevaal have also blasted Fusil, who seems to be affected. They begin charging again. Lettevaal has taken out energy swords, which seem to be out of control and scratching her everywhere.

A band of Paladins with Lee, Ratu, and the Cavalry engage a particularly low member of STF. He grins and stands with arms crossed.

Tory has been struck down (perma)!

Tory has been found dead, impaled by Tykki's sword.

There is a louder popping sound from the corner of the battlefield.

The Second Crusade: Round 6

[Fitting music] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYB3yyu0UrQ)

The airship's crews refocus their efforts, successfully sponging up sections of Tykki's wings.

Fusil's attention has been directed at those fighting Tykki, whom he swats hard into the ground. His weapons turn into artillery and bombard the alliance's forces. Despite this, shots from the Ikakus manage to stagger her.

Lettevaal fuses with Minos, growing immensely! Lettevaalminos fires directly on Tykki, a comparatively tiny target, and Tykki seems to have outright vaporized from the attack!

The grinning member of STF laughs and flies away as the angels and cavalry find that the ground is caltrops and mines! This has the side effect of immobilizing many bronze creatures.

The allied troops fight harder, motivated by their blessings! They easily slay thousands of bronze creatures with relatively minor losses. This encourages them further.

Lee has been struck down (perma)!

Lee has been found dead, impaled by Tykki's sword.

The remaining Imperial ward mages shudder and burn out.

If mortal eyes would be unable to discern between such creature and a Golem of simmilar make, that is suficient enough to sully the reputation of Golems.

There are many tiny diamonds in the  the crater rock and an above-average concentration of metal everywhere. Organics in the area have mostly metamorphosed into coal. There is nothing remotely inedible for a god of Hunger, and sacrifices made in battle are said to make the meal more exquisite.

The heat and radiation in the area is dangerous. Some Gruen have come to colonize the area, and many of even the hardier initial colonizers die. They establish a foothold and begin focusing on adapting to the radiation and particular assortment of minerals.

Or maybe it was the Void, deciding to try and weaken us, or another god, unleashing as much Essence as they possibly could in a single burst to try and see how much damage they could inflict.

And what makes you think, Fusil, that any of us would be inclined to give you Tykki back, at this point?

Mourning ceremonies will be had for all of the valiant Soldiers of Goodness, Templars, and the Guardian Angel's charges. Their families will be informed of their valiant efforts and sacrifice, even if, in the end, their service was for naught thanks to the destruction of the battlefield.
A holy day shall be established, in remembrance of their loss. Martyr's Day, to remember their bravery, honour their sacrifice, and celebrate their valiant deeds and courage in the face of overwhelming odds.

"Are those fair terms to you?"

"Not at all. The fact that an outside party intervened makes the contract we had void. The terms are "Give me Tykki back, and I won't continue the battle". If you do not accept that, we have seen that massive explosions are fair game. There is no reason for me not to return fire on your important cities, especially now that your military is gone. How about I put it this way. In the explosion, my amazing Angels are the only non-expendable thing that I lost. I can make more Vindico cheaply and easily. You, on the other hand, just lost your entire military force. Continuing this fight would not end well for you."

If I was as easy to rile up so that mere sight of beings simmilar to golems would cause me to create scars on the planet Snow Golems would be less of a race and more of a legend, wouldn't they? Gem dragons would not fare much better too. Besides, as Fusil pointed out, Kyloth is rather hard to miss.

I support Fusil regaining Tykki, Revival of the fallen and removal of the dust cloud.

Despite his rage at the explosions annihilating his people, and the ridiculousness of all of this, Darruth is brought up short by Fusil's unexpectedly non-hostile approach.

For Fusil, anyway.

...Fine. Yaos, shut up. (oh good you did) I will support you getting Tykki back, and I may as well support the revival of the fallen. I am also going to be launching an investigation into who caused this, and I feel that it is somehow related to the massive blizzard that massacred your followers during your Feast, Fusil.

And whoever did, will pay.

As for the Vindicos, as I think you called them, your essence capacity is greatly reduced following your death and revival. You can make more, I can make some of my own; you yourself said the terms were null and void. Launching explosions on civilian targets would incline us towards doing similar things to your own targets, and we have far more essence to spend. You are not in the favorable position, though I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that you could do more than enough damage to make me deeply regret continuing this conflict.

That said, as I am willing to end this conflict, as I never truly wanted it in the first place, I can agree to those terms.

Perhaps, in future conflicts, a rule of no non-sapients ought to be established, to avoid ludicrous Essence attrition wars with dummy soldiers. Just musing, however; I doubt may would agree, as it would entail either much greater expense, or exposing one's own followers to harm.

And you truly accuse me of not caring? I asked for volunteers, and got volunteers. They did not die in the fighting, but because of an explosion that wasted their lives needlessly. That is what infuriates me; that their deaths were for nothing, and so their loved ones can take little comfort in the valor of their deeds. Pointless? Perhaps, but I did not start it, nor desire it. Do not speak to me of matters that concern me so closely as though I am not involved.

If people wish to spend essence at their own cost to diminish damage to their followers, I fail to see the problem.

Anyway, in the end it's largely irrelevant to essence income. Creating more sapient mortals to replace the lost probably isn't much different in cost than creating unintelligent soldiers.

Post by: Rolepgeek on December 06, 2014, 06:53:24 pm

The hell is this?

First off, Neron, I did not drag my followers in, I asked for volunteers. They joined of their own free will, and were under no obligation to do so.

Second off, it proved that Fusil is willing to fight any number of enemies if it means he might get his way, and proves that we gods are about as capable as mortals are at working together; we can, but not all that well. Or perhaps that mortals are as capable as we...

Thirdly, I never wished for this war. This war was caused by Fusil attempting to kill a Yaosian angel for the pure sake of killing them, or perhaps because he felt insulted by them, as he does by literally everyone who doesn't bow to his whim.

Fourthly, Goodness requires sacrifice, sometimes. Which is why I was the one to enter the fray first. Good is not easy. It is not simple. It is rarely pure, and necessary evils do exist, as sad as it may be. But you have no right to accuse me for standing by my word. I started an alliance that was meant to protect it's members from Fusil's hostility, as we've seen he's willing to resort to violence to accomplish his goals. That battle replaced a devastating war that would have killed millions more and destroyed countries, tearing apart families. While I believe that perhaps allowing non-gods to join in the alliance was a mistake, the alternative would have been the Yaosian angels dying, permanently, and a vastly decreased likelihood of Yaos reviving. Whether his revival is something to be desired or not might be debated amongst the gods.

Speaking of, Yaos, I'd be interested in learning how you turned a mortal infant into the vehicle for your resurrection.

As for you two; you are quick to disparage other gods, Neron, yet I rarely see you active.

And the God of Deception...I need say little else. As much as I wish it were otherwise, for anyone to trust you or your word is a mistake; lying is in your nature.

And finally, Azem...calm the fuck down. What the fuck do you expect to accomplish other than literally piss everyone off?

Protect my followers from this curse.

Fusil tried to kill the Yaosian angels because they were more ambitious than there god and very impolite to us gods. Which is a bit of a dangerous combination.

Firing a gun will not kill you. Firing a bigger gun will not kill you. Firing the biggest gun will not kill you. This is because of how guns work. This law is preventing alchemy from being used the way it should be.
An alchemist should, with proper training and study, be able to harness the energy around him to perform alchemic tasks. This law preventing said alchemist from doing is the same as if someone had a chance of dying just by firing a powerful enough gun, or making a breakthrough in a scientific field would leave you comatose or something.
If a thing is going to kill you, it should do so for reasons that actually make sense. Mana burnout is fine. Chi burnout is fine. Dying simply because you did a 360 no-scope? Not fine.

The main focus of this tick is a battle, the Second Crusade, conducted between an alliance comprised of Darruth, Vaal serving in Yaos' temporary absence, Joha, Neron, and Serac and Fusil. As is frequently the case with destructive wars, no clear winners emerge of these two combatants, although Fusil, the only leader of his side, died during a third party's intrusion beyond the scope of the agreement between the two groups. This intrusion forced total defeat for both sides and induced a general state of dustiness on Keshan. The Hooded Ducal Lich has made an appearance and added to this disruption by openly aggrieving both sides with little net effect. Dead after this battle are practically all of the non-god participants.

The destructive conclusion of the battle may have prevented a band of Gruen from being able to feast upon the remains, but another band has reached and begun settling the large crater where it took place.

Tykki's body notably disappeared after the battle. Fusil, Khaziraad, and Darruth have successfully recovered it.

Throughout the world, countless people engage in mourning for their lost friends and family members, their gods' followers cand creations, and the imminent famine. The day of the battle, Martyr's Day, is marked as holy by Darruth.

Azem curses the economies of every non-Dwarf non-Mountwyrm civilization! The supply level for many goods has declined, raising prices beyond what panic from the darkened skies has already caused. Darruth has attempted to protect followers of Goodness from the curse. Kli has, aided by Grauel, Joha, Khaziraad, and Neron,  attempted to maintain the economic balance from before with reasonable success, although the looming threat of the dust cover prevents complete recovery. Quéßäre attempts to protect the High Elves from the curse, cutting off all relations with the rest of the world by necessity. Fusil has explicitly declined to help even for the Armu and Seppo, who are hit just as hard.

Serac has granted the island turtles a powerful bioluminescent organ, allowing them to illuminate the darkened ocean.

The annoying music has abruptly stopped and then resumed again. This time, it seems to be an irritating love song.

(Yaos: Re Arbitrary natural law: Fiat no. The intended meaning, which I realize I muddled, isn't that you will lose something if you do something great. It just means that nothing is guaranteed to be free. Apologies for the confusion.)

This update's constellations are the Staff and Phoenix. The Slythan ice ring is prominent.

I create a new race, the Wolf-men (and women). They are a tough people red of tooth and claw. They view weapons  as a mere extension of the warrior. They are not very technologically advanced, but they excel at survival skills. They are a hunter gatherer society who respect nature but do not go out of their way to protect it. They train animals for war and hunting and are very resourceful.

I create the 300 Wolf-people in the a place known as the Hidden Forest (no I will not tell whee to find them) in world 1. I make their leader a prophet named Tai'ul(T/i/-ool). Who tells them to stay hidden and spread my teachings. They begin making a settlement.

The Lycae are different. Wolf-men are more civilized and more on the human end of the spectrum(a Lycae is a "Bipedal wolf" and has "tribal culture" nothing else is really told). They are also quite tall, averaging 7 feet (sorry, should have included that fact). They also don't live in mountains.

Think of them as the Lycae's cousins.

Out in space where it can block sunlight and kill the life of the planet? Are you sure that's a great idea?

About 56.00.6.1, the ring will also rotate on an axis around the planet as a smaller, secondary day/night cycle. That way, it doesn't cause a permanent shadow over an area of land and kill everything under it.

The Dwarves are asked to share their underground farming techniques with the Empire, which will be implemented immediately. They are also asked to take in as many Human refugees as possible until the dust is gone.

Are there any foodstuffs that Mumans grow that won't be poisonous to Humans?

*checks Deities tab*
I'm still listed as Ambition and Coasts. I remember at some point that Humans became my secondary sphere. Is that a clerical error?

If the dust cloud is thrown out far enough, and made to for a ring, shadow on the planet would be entirely insignificant. And I would be quite interested in making the ring to remove Void influence, if the purge would be at a small enough rate. If we make it too strong, void cultists will become undetectable.


Support 56.00.6 and 56.00.6.1

If the dust clouds are not removed, however, then I do have a place for mortals to eavacuate to. Afterlife I have created contains every building built and any goods produced since it's creation. There should be cities worth of empty buildings there, massive ammounts of goods and several centuries worth of food. The plane could be used untill cloud is no longer a problem.

If it is voted to not remove the dust cloud, open portals to Plane of Creations Past in every city within path of the dust cloud.

(Neron: Constellations added)

The dust clouds aren't just isolated things. Their pretty much over the entire planet.

(Quéßäre: -3E)
You create the Wolf-people, a warrior race. There are 300 on Keshan somewhere in a hidden forest.

Neron:
White Wing Rani: "We praise you for bringing the Great Ice Age!"
Shadow Raven: "The Rani rejoice too loudly when they rejoice at all."
White Wing Rani: "Thank you for bringing the Great Ice Age!"
White Wing Rani: "I have donated all my fortune to your temple in honor of your Great Ice Age and a bet."
Rani artist: "The ash and dust is making my outdoor sculptures look awful. Can you do something about it?"
White Wing Rani: "The Great Ice Age has arrived!"

(Serac: -4E)
Serac: You create the pllaned six-winged eels who purify the air. They may not be able to generate industrial quantities of metal, given the density of dust particles.

Re dust rings: We can't really go Saturn here without bending the rules, so dust rings are unlikely to obscure much when put into orbit. The Saturnine rings are so large because they're maintained by orbital resonance or something like that by the many moons. Making the ring inclined anyway has been added.

(Yaos: Fiat no still in principle. Allowing things to be guaranteed to be free has the potential to produce cranky players when something they assumed was guaranteed to be free turns out to have the potential to produce unwanted side-effects, and I don't want to have to deal with that sort of thing.)

Yaos: The Dwarves are pleased to sell their techniques to others. For refugees, they suggest that Humans would be better off looking for refuges with taller tunnel-dwellers, and they remind them that the cost will be high. They also point out that there aren't really any displaced Humans.

The foodstuffs that Mumans grow tend toward existing as gases at temperatures Humans can survive, and their biochemistries basically have opposite polarities. I guess eating inert clay (which isn't really nutritious or pleasant for most) may still be possible, but not much else.

(Horses 0E was for letting them roam in the wild. Are you sure you want to continue?)

Azem: Gem Dragons in general have not been hit too hard because of their mineral-based biochemistry.

(Yaos: Not really. Having the ideas put out and arguing well for them works, though.)

(The Light: -3E)
The Light: You create the crystalline Soldiers to defend the godbox.

The only other tunnel-dwellers that exist are Golems and they don't have any underground farms. The request for refuge is less because of displaced Humans and more to alleviate food issues that'll arise. Dwarves can feed them with pre-existing underground farms. Human ones will take too long to build to feed everyone.
(Do the Night Elves live underground? If so, they are asked for their tech and for refuge.)
Human-built underground farms are constructed immediately, delaying the construction of the Grand Temple if necessary.

"Let us seeeeee what gods didn't vote yet...... Ok, Cim, you need to vote on a specific way to deal with it. Just pick one you dislike the least and support it. Varee, Azem, Kli, Grauel, Serac, The Light, Joha, Carmine, Neron, Darruth, and Quéßäre, you all need to vote."

I would like to create the Rose a sky feature on world 1 associated with lies, guilt, and broken hearts and the Horse on world 2 associated with duty, swords, and heroes.

"Feel free to be a critic."

"Sorry but I kinda have problems with both. Roses are supposed to be the flower of love and romance but this constellation is all about failed love and romance. It's kind of sad, actually." :( "The Horse is associated with swords, but we already have a Sword constellation. On the same world, too! My last problem is that there are already so many constellations. I think maybe we should keep them at ten constellations each planet."

EDIT: The Candle is also associated with heroism, so you've got two constellations on the same world that deal with heroic stuff.

"There where hardly millions there to murder. Capturing Tykki was only part of your goal, something you likely had ordered to do before hand.

Considering that I, Tykki, and the rest of my Angels where directly killed in the explosion, why would you accuse me of such a thing? You where the only one who had a reason to fight but kept out of it, knowing apparently about a massive explosion waiting to happen."

Tick 58: Terminal

The gods have resolved to do something about the dust problem. What they will do has yet to be determined.

A supernaturally contagious, highly lethal plague has spread throughout the Human empire, directly killing a full quarter of the population. The current economic failures and dust event very much disfavor recovery despite the mages' best efforts.

Many of the wealthier Humans have taken to living underground with Dwarves and the Night Elves, who nonetheless have them stay in separate quarters. They have, for the most part, escaped the plague before its onset and Azem's curse as well. Many of the remaining surface Humans begin digging to construct underground farms as quickly as possible.

Quéßäre has created the Wolf-people.

Serac has created six-winged eels who go on voyages on airships to purify the air and produce elemental metal.

The Light has created crystalline Soldiers to defend the godbox.

Azem has forced the revival of his angels. Sappira has disappeared and fails to revive. Some prayers directed at Azem are as follows:
Mountwyrm: "The skies have darkened! What can we do? Our crops will die!"
Dwarf: "What's this I hear about the sky falling?"
Gruen: "I pray for mercy from you, Goldfather. Let the gold flow as it once did."

Joha has forced the revivals of Kifo and Idris. Idris responds, but Kifo seems to have disappeared.

Neron's constellations have been challenged.

(Constellations: 0/3 support for Neron)

The Armu-Seppo cities have begun the construction of great domes to seal them off from the rest of the atmosphere.

Neron:
Rani artist: "Perhaps... Maybe they can even look like stone sculptures! I must try this at once!"
White Wing Rani 4 has begun spreading the word that the current ice age will end soon. Their next meetings are somber and almost funerary in nature.

Serac:
"The air is filthy! My children can barely breathe! Help us!"
"What happened? The skies went dark and some trees started burning!"
"Listen, O great Sorae and Serac himself! The end is upon us! Turn! Turn to the skies! Lift your eyes and see Their true forms! They are the true rulers of the sea!"

This update's constellations are the Crown and Ship. Dust covers the skies of Keshan, blocking out both the sun and lungs.

Claim all the souls for the Human Plane before they reach reincarnation.

Sue Quéßäre for causing unleashing the disease and causing a megadeath, thus breaking Part IV of Anath's Code of Conduct.

Quéßäre was at 10 Essence on the previous Tick and is now at 3. He chose to kill Humans using a disease. His own race - the High Elves, are immune to disease and they would thus be safe from it if it were to spread to their lands and he knew that.

Sue Quéßäre for causing unleashing the disease and causing a megadeath, thus breaking Part IV of Anath's Code of Conduct.

Quéßäre was at 10 Essence on the previous Tick and is now at 3. He chose to kill Humans using a disease. His own race - the High Elves, are immune to disease and they would thus be safe from it if it were to spread to their lands and he knew that. As punishment, he will use his Essence to bring everyone back to life and then be imprisoned for 1 Tick.

Why do you think I've killed them? What would I possibly have to gain? By unleashing a plague on them, I'd both destroy my trading partners and piss you off, neither of which is of any help to me.

Furthermore, who says a God did this? I've seen how your humans live...they're disgusting. Maybe you should have taught them to stay clean to prevent such an outbreak. As far as my essence goes, I've been trying to spend it on helping my followers, not destroy yours.

What you're saying is "My humans got sick, it must be divine intervention, hey Quéßäre did something! It must be him!"Regardless, I see you need my help...

A supernaturally contagious, highly lethal plague has spread throughout the Human empire, directly killing a full quarter of the population.

"Mortal mages simply don't have medical knowledge to be able to create supernatural diseases on this scale. Humans have been living for over a millennium in either present or worse conditions without any mention of a plague, especially one this big. More evidence to the fact is that the Humans on Slythan have the same cleanliness ideals but they don't have any problems, so this is almost certainly a direct attack against the Empire and me."

(Exactly how are they going to give the gene? Sex isn't selective enough to pass on individual genes as the participants choose (unless you designed High Elves that way) and gene-splicing isn't even that advanced IRL, let alone in the High Middle Ages. If you're going to do it through magic, why are so many High Elves required?)

Kli: You hear these prayers:
"The air is dangerous and our forests were burning! What can we do?"
"Is it balance that our world be struck once every eon?"
"Why has the trade stopped? Have all the caravans died from the dust?"

Serac:
The Sorae seek refuge on the undersides of their turtles where they make contact with the *Sorae Underdwellers, who they have managed not to realize existed.
"They are the Many-Faced Ones, with forms shifting as the waves and more arms than the Great Squid! Bow before your true masters! See their wrath and turn!"

Yaos: You claim all the souls that have yet to reincarnate for the Human Plane.

Cim: The explosion site radiates moderate mundane radiation. It is, surprisingly, still warm around the crater. Divine and Void energy levels are roughly normal.

Quéßäre: You send 150 High Elves. They proceed to attempt to "spread their genes" among the Humans. There does not actually seem to be any specific gene that controls immunity, and it seems that the dubious property of Human-ness is the target of the disease. It is expected that High Elf-Human hybrids will be more resistant because of their decreased Human-ness attribute.

(The Light: -3E)
The Light: Some Luminee mages set out to try helping out the ill.

You also train 10 000 crystal guardians and hide the box and its defenders.

(Neron: -2E)
Neron: You create ice pillars that grant psymental abilities to those near them.

(Khaziraad: -3E)
You move the dust away from the planet, clearing the skies.

(I'm starting to think declaring patents (which are, again, unbacked and unenforced by anyone but the one declaring them) adds little of value and much potential confusion for newer players as well as exerting a chilling effect on creations. Do not make me do something about it.)

Yaos v. Quéßäre

Yaos sues Quéßäre for unleashing the plague and causing a megadeath, breaking § 4 of Anath's Code of Conduct. As evidence, Yaos cites Quéßäre's 7E drop.

-1 (Acquit) from Quéßäre

Um, when I said I was considering "spreading their genes" I meant I thought I'd take a look to see if I could give the humans that trait, not...breed them.

Also, you cannot use my "7E drop" as evidence because I used 3E to make the Wolf-people, making that portion accounted for.

I also made a prophet with them, and I'm no expert, but is 3E enough to wipe out 1/4 of all humans?

True, that would have been an excellent angle, but I didn't know.

Let's do a bit of math, shall we:
I lost 7E during the tick
I spent 3E on the Wolf-people
I spent 2E on Fusil
I spent 2E on other things

The plague wiped out 1/4 of all humans. That's worth, what 4E if your sphere is disease and you have a knack for such things. It does not equal 2E.

How could I do it?

"Blocked no matter the case? No matter the case!? WE ARE GODS!!! The only thing that can stop our will is the Void itself!"
"Unforeseen consequences? What unforeseen consequences? That they'll have a better quality of life? That there'll be more Humans in the world? The whole point of medical science is to eradicate as many diseases as possible! Are you saying that we should abolish medical science?"
"What reason are there for diseases to exist? This is a question for the elder gods. Why do they exist? Why would you go and create them?

Post by: Rolepgeek on December 08, 2014, 10:37:25 pm

Yaos, that is precisely my point. We are Gods; another god can easily put his mind to it and spend more Essence and all of a sudden that fabled immunity is worth about as much as a towel in a pool.

Ye Gods are you taking my words out of context, strawmanning them, and so on.

First off, no, they don't. If I so chose, I could spend essence and get around that immunity. Which is my point.

Second off, I don't think you really understood what I meant by reason to exist; the fact that this is all here, that any of it happens? There's a reason for it. Nature only occurs in the manner we choose for it too, after all; it works to help prevent excess population, and small diseases train a population to be able to survive large plagues. A magical plague only killed a quarter of the population. Non-magical ones have been known to slaughter a full third, if there is no likewise magical help. Medical science is of course to be applauded, but eradication of disease is by no means it's purpose. It's purpose is to save lives, and one can survive getting sick. If the humans are made 'immune' to disease, the instant anything that finds some way past that immunity; say, a parasite, or bacteria, or some magical curse-plague made by a necromancer with a chip on his shoulder, will slaughter them, since their normal immune systems will be atrophied.

Finally, who's to say it wasn't the Void that did this, if we've ruled out The Guile Lord? They already advocate sacrifices, at least in some of their cults, and if I remember right, 'Ephemerality' is one of their possible spheres.

Quote from: Rolepgeek on December 08, 2014, 10:37:25 pm

small diseases train a population to be able to survive large plagues. A magical plague only killed a quarter of the population. Non-magical ones have been known to slaughter a full third

"Non-magical plagues of that extent do not kill that quickly and in any case they don't exist. We would've gotten word if a third of a population somewhere suddenly started dropping dead. Only killed a quarter of the population. That's still way too much to be acceptable and there is no reason for a disease that powerful to exist. Going by your theory, smaller diseases only exist to prevent this kind of disease. Thus, we should destroy this one."

Quote from: Rolepgeek on December 08, 2014, 10:37:25 pm

Medical science is of course to be applauded, but eradication of disease is by no means it's purpose. It's purpose is to save lives, and one can survive getting sick.

"One of the ways it saves lives is by eradicating diseases." (Just look at smallpox, polio, etc.)

Quote from: Rolepgeek on December 08, 2014, 10:37:25 pm

If the humans are made 'immune' to disease, the instant anything that finds some way past that immunity; say, a parasite, or bacteria, or some magical curse-plague made by a necromancer with a chip on his shoulder, will slaughter them, since their normal immune systems will be atrophied.

"You're forgetting about the High Elves. Accepting your entire argument, the only humane thing to do is strip the High Elves of their immunity to disease, give them a decent immune system to start off with, and then see how everything turns out. Based on the fact that you haven't mentioned them, I'm guessing you're only against total immunity being present in Humans. Why that is, I don't know."
"The thing about total immunity is that all mundane, naturally-occurring diseases that exist or will exist simply don't affect the totally immune. Besides, who says that the totally immune are so because of magic? Maybe they are so by mundane means? Maybe their immune system is so perfect and flexible and non-atrophic that no disease can get passed it. And that's just assuming that they aren't magically immune to all diseases either." (Seriously, I don't want to argue this point any more. This is a matter for the GM because we have no idea how total immunity works, what it covers, or if it can be subverted by Essence.)

Quote from: Rolepgeek on December 08, 2014, 10:37:25 pm

Finally, who's to say it wasn't the Void that did this, if we've ruled out The Guile Lord? They already advocate sacrifices, at least in some of their cults, and if I remember right, 'Ephemerality' is one of their possible spheres. Beyond that, other Gods are able to stop our will, as has whatever that fucking music is.

"As I said, the Void is the one thing that can subvert the will of the gods. Gods can only subvert our will if they're backed by the Void, just as Varee was with his damned monkeys. If it was the Void then we ought to evacuate every Keshan Human to Slytha. It shouldn't be too much trouble, honestly. Transporting creatures is a lot cheaper than creating them and we can even make a condition where only those that aren't sick will be transported."

Propose we get rid of the music.
BEST IDEA! Propose we replace the music with a new piece of music we can choose to listen to every Tick. I credit Serac (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144704.msg5863174#msg5863174) for providing inspiration for this idea. (Basically, GM just puts up a link to a piece of music every Tick.)

"I have 3 Essence. If I were to do support any proposals I'd be forced to spend Essence and will probably go dormant or die from it. I'm trying to stay active and do as much as I can with what little I have - something to be applauded for if one was a poor mortal instead of a poor god - and in any case, I thought that we were all equal? Maybe we should start dividing up gods based on age like Fusil suggested?"

((In a game like this, the assumption is always safe that anything can be gotten around provided you are perseverent enough and spend enough money; any armor can eventually be broken through, if you build a big enough gun. And any gun can eventually be blocked, if you just pile enough shit in it's way. Plus, as he's said in the OP, don't make Thetis's folly.

Plus, if we're gonna have Humans, keep 'em as humans. Making them immune to disease means they aren't actually human, and that's a big way(one of the only, depending on how you look at it) old people die, and if old people aren't dying, but continue aging....welll....))

(I'm pretty sure the High-Elves immunity to disease will only really work entirely on mundane diseases. If a God says, "I want the High-Elves dead, make a plague to destroy them," I'm pretty sure it'll bypass it. As a long as the divine disease is not targeting them, as divine diseases often do, they should still be fine, unless overly exposed.)

((That actually made me think of an idea. The High Elves were made to be totally immune to disease; it wasn't explicitly mentioned they're only totally immune from mundane disease. Total immunity would cover mundane disease, but what if it also covers magical diseases too? I'm talking about what Darruth suggested earlier - a Necromancer or something cooking up a disease in a lab - NOT a divinely made disease. It makes sense. If some mortal somehow made a mundane bioweapon and unleashed it, the totally immune wouldn't be affected, but what if that's also true for artificial, mortal-made magical bioweapons?))

Tick 59: Nurgle's little helpers

Khaziraad has, independently from the Council, decided to move the dust into a stable orbit around Keshan.

Carmine and Varee have been sealed away somewhere.

The recent plague in Human lands has begun subsiding with magical assistance from the High Elves, Luminee, and Seraphim. The High Elves have also spread the word of Quéßäre during their stay. Yaos has attempted to block the construction of a monument at the High Elven capital, and Quéßäre delays it. The High Elves have constructed a shrine to Yaos.

Yaos has claimed all the still-unreincarnated souls of dead Yaosian followers for the Human Plane.

Neron has created four psymentally boosting pillars of ice on two poles of unspecified planets, in a dark, frigid cave, and on a distant asteroid in an also unspecified star system.

Azem has lifted the economic curse placed on non-Dwarf non-Mountwyrm civilizations. The mortals seem to have forgin Azem.

A Hummingbird has learned a song of air cleansing and spread knowledge of it throughout the forest.

(Yaos: Petition accepted assuming there are no appeals to reshow it.)

(Constellations: 0/3 support for Neron)

The Armu-Seppo cities have ended the construction of great domes to seal them off from the rest of the atmosphere.

The ashes of Serac's angels have been returned to Serac.

The City of Light does indeed have a relatively thick wall, a grand Temple to All Gods, a still-empty Academy of Light Philosophy, Gardens of Many Fruits, and a Great Barracks with a stocked armory. Luminee warriors seem not to like unarmed combat because it tends not to produce Shinjo, and a powerful half warhammer spirit has recently succeeded her father as Duke of the Mountainous Province in a Luminee kingdom. A statue of Azem has recently toppled and shattered in the Temple.

Darruth has expressed a willingness to help with removing the dust. This has already been done. A band of Darruthite clergy assists with stopping the plague with great success. The cities of Good have begun thriving once again.

Quéßäre hears the following prayers:
"Lies! Now go back and wash all the clothes again!"
"Quéßäre, I always lie! This sentence is also a lie!"
"Thank Quéßäre I managed to fool those market guards."

Darruth hears the following prayers:
"Aid me, Darruth above, that these children may heal."
"What are those strange masked figures who look like Sorae-Luminees?"
"With your guidance, I heal these humans."
"Our food bank is running low on food this year. May you bless our harvest."

(Re total immunity: Asymptotic cost. Disease isn't just a simple thing you toggle in people, contrary to what most media depictions seem to suggest. It has a plethora of causes, mechanisms, and effects, and many diseases/harmful conditions exist which are the result of the sufferer's systems going awry (e.g. cancer, septic shock, seizures). Disease immunity to current pathogens and destructive conditions is much cheaper but also much easier to subvert.)

("Total" immunity for High Elves: My ruling is that it covers mundane/cheapskate gods' plagues. Otherwise, we'd have a mess where being punched by a rapidly moving piece of metal counts as an infection and disease and gets blocked.)

Yaos hears the following prayers from Keshan Humans:
"I offer up this sample of my dinner, a roast rat and a jelly roll."
"I want to become the god of Being a God!"
"Could you block out the sun again? Our gang can't sneak out in the day without our parents noticing now."

An angel of Grauel has been seen, dead and covered in a shroud marked "HoDo".

The irritating music has switched to something about never giving up the listener or some mortal romantic nonsense.

(Constellations for Neron: 0/3 support)

Ohhhhhhh so they were building the shrine in the High Elf capital. I thought since they'd gone to the Empire to heal the plague that they were building the shrine in the Human capital which made me wonder why they were doing that because there's already so much Yaos stuff there.

An angel of Grauel has been seen, dead and covered in a shroud marked "HoDo".

Once the shroud is gone, the angel's corpse is retrieved and scanned for EVERYTHING (AKA a full examination) and if it's safe to do so, drained of as much Essence as possible. "Wasn't me that killed it, by the way."

Support 58.05. (Since Azem himself is in support of his conviction, shouldn't it just autopass?)
Support 58.05.1, as long as it's interpreted as giving all Humans High Elf-style total immunity to disease.

58.07 is supposed to replace the annoying music we're hearing now.

Varee is unsealed. 5 of his Essence is given to Azem, then 7 to Joha, 8 to Azem, and finally 5 to Yaos. He will be resealed immediately after.
"When you two can actually hold the rest of the Essence I owe you, I'll pay back the rest of my debts. To the other gods: I plan for Varee to be at 1 Essence eventually. This is to prevent him from turning into a monster and also because he killed my angels with his bullshit Void-assisted monkeys and probably turned Jeffrey into a jelly roll too. God-killing is against my code, though, so I won't kill him."

Essence to make someone a god: All of it.

Yaos: The shroud stays on the body. Are you sure you want to consume one of Grauel's angels? This may provoke a reaction.

58.05: It is, I suppose. What is in question is what, if anything, happens next.

(Varee: -20E, Azem: +13E, Joha: +7E)
Varee's Essence has been redistributed.

(Yaos: -2E, Varee: -5E, Yaos: +2E)
You create a throne for communication in the Paradise Plane and make Malik unaging and give Idris back to Joha.

The Inquisition has been restored again.

A full examination of the body is undertaken by someone that's not me. I will not consume the angel corpse, but he's not allowed to react anyway.
Full examination: Essence, Void, magic, life, sentience, science-stuff, poison, and also the condition of the corpse.

Little bit of an error here. That +2E ought to be a +3E. Zero-sum operation and all.

Give Gruen and Gruen-Hybrids the ability to do the following with their spores:

Create mindless Gruen Drones which can serve as workers and warriors but are otherwise similar in nature to regular Gruen. They obey their creator but can be transferred to other masters in which case a bonding ritual involving spores must take place.

Create Gruen Based Food.

Create Gruen Based Structures. Larger Structures require more time or more spores.

Create Gruen Based Items (Tools, Weapons, Clothing, etc). Larger Items require more time or more spores.

Specialized spores must be intentionally formed by Gruen, otherwise they will just naturally produce normal Gruen creating spores.

Tick 60: Big red button

The Inquisition has been restored on Keshan.

The body of Grauel's angel seems to have tested negative for Void influence.

The Luminee have rebuilt the monumet to Azem again with more crystals this time. They have gathered to contrast the philosophies of Light compared to those of the Non-Light and discuss methods of unifying the pantheon.
"What are some ways to unify the pantheon?"
"I wish for the entire world to be covered in light with no room for shadows."
"Have you tasted these delicious Hardboiled Rainbows? They taste like colors!"

(Re *Underdwellers: Yes, specifically, life on the ventral surface of the island turtles..)

"No! The Armu and Seppo are but pale imitations! Mockeries of our true rulers, with only the tiniest hints of their true power!"

A grand tournament has been held at the Mountwyrm capital on Keshan. Quéßäre has bet 2 Essence on there being a winner. Among the challengers are a diamond Gem Dragon, a Human with a white-painted face in colorful clothes with a sack of jelly rolls, an Armu standing and walking on a hundred swords, a skeletal Human, and a robed Luminee.

The Light has used Essence to heal pacifistic Humans around the world. It is surprisingly cheap, and few in number are healed.

Neron has announced the start of Necronmas, a holiday of great giving and joviality. It takes place far north at the City of Red Stone. Merwen and the Saints have begun leading a procession northward, singing and hanging up lanterns. Neron has also created the pricy Frozen Guards, a race of angelic ice mages.
"I made Neron-shaped giant socks for everyone! Even you!"
"I got only a pack of wooden bows. What is going on?"
"Why does this shirt have a picture of cheese on it?"
"Merry Neronmas!"

Yaos searches the ash pile for the shiny ones. A screaming, flaming flying monkey hits Yaos and explodes, sending Yaos into a state of inactivity.

(For uplift: Yes, but they will gain complete free will (if it was not present before) and become more godlike by shedding their previous identities and concentrating on a sphere or two representative of their previous desires.)

The new Duondio is an infant in a house at the Imperial capital on Keshan.

There are a number of raging forest fires on the more frequently traveled paths to the City of Red Stone.

Serac has thrown a jelly roll party at the Human Imperial capital (*HIC*). The Inquisition has come knocking with incendiary weapons at the ready.

The Boots of Soaking have begun distributing local delicacies to everyone. There is a sharp increase in pastry-related deaths.

Darruth's healers continue to succeed in healing the sick.
"They wear slick, shiny robes and mark the houses of the sick. They go around holding sticks, and no one can see into their masks or any of their skin." Darruth has searched for Darruthite angels' bodies, but they are nowhere to be found on the crater.

Gruen and Gruen-Hybrids can now create Gruen Drones, Gruen-based food, Gruen-based structures, and Gruen-based items with attention. There is a loud crash in the furniture industry with the appearance and distribution of stony Gruens' stony furniture.

The High Elves continue building a church and the paused statue at their capital.

(Constellations: 0/3 support for Neron)

The irritating music is still about never giving up the listener or some mortal romantic nonsense.

This update's constellations are the Seraph and Ikaku.

There are a number of raging forest fires on the more frequently traveled paths to the City of Red Stone.

Serac has thrown a jelly roll party at the Human Imperial capital (*HIC*). The Inquisition has come knocking with incendiary weapons at the ready.

The Boots of Soaking have begun distributing local delicacies to everyone. There is a sharp increase in pastry-related deaths.

Send a rainstorm to put out the forest fires.

Grab my shield and wave at the soldiers! Invite them to party, get them some Jellyrolls.Then grab some nearby void energy and make a jellyroll. Pretend to eat it, but instead teleport it into their commander's office.

How do they kill people with pastries? They are supposed to deliver it gently!
What are they doing even, dropping them on people? Stop that!
More specific orders for you, land an airship and walk into town with their local delicacies. Go door to door giving people the food, saying that they are from "Serac and the Deepfried Rainbows pastry store"

IV. Halting rampaging reanimated godly remains

When godly remains are reanimated, they tend to go on mindless rampages with only marginal connections to their spheres. In these cases, we have found that the most effective strategy after tests on a rampaging god of Motion, a goddess of Change, and a god of Madness is simply to cast them out of the Bubble, where they will decompose in the Churn. While it is nearly impossible for a single god to shift another out of the Bubble, it is quite easy to do in collaboration with others. Our goddess of Hope predicts that it becomes effortless when five gods work together. Other methods of halting rampaging reanimated godly remains that we have discovered are feeding them with Essence until they dissipate (at great cost to oneself, but the god of Charity was always prone to such deeds) or simply attacking them. The goddess of Violence reports that while it was great fun to stop the rampage, it is very inefficient compared to collaborative shifting.

Throw her out of the sphere, it's free if five people help.
And I doubt it was Yaos, more likely one of the other sealed gods. Science?

Throw her out of the sphere! if I get five people helping me.

Now, I am creating an oracle statue in my pastry shop. For a small fee, it can truly answer any question, but only can be used once in a life.

Cim mind-controls the Dead God. It then analyzes the energies contained within it. If there aren't any beyond Essence, Belief and Worship, Cim absorbs some of it to refund the mind-control and gives the rest to the Council.

"If this doesn't work, I will gladly help throw it out. Oh, and Serac, about this oracle statue, what if one asks a question it can't answer or doesn't know the answer to? Is 'I don't know' a truthful answer? Because if it is, I won't see myself using the statue."

"Begin preaching to accept the other gods, and seek their help in times of need when it seems apropriate. Just respect all gods, and try to learn from each aspect of reality. Accept that the differences even between the gods are only part of the existing play. Create temples for all of them and try to look up into the sky and reflect on the deeds of the gods and understand their logic. Look to find the gods within yourself."

"I performed some science on Monster!Yaos. Their Essence is completely mixed with Void energy, and can't be safely extracted for revival; absorbing it would corrupt the absorber's pool, though the comparatively low amount (4V) would be heavily diluted. Due to the intermixing, Essence couldn't then be used purely, at least until the Void energy dilutes away. If a God wants to do that sacrifice and take the energies, go ahead, but we both know and don't know what it does to a God. I placed the body on that throne that allows speech, for now."

Tick 61: Accidents

Yaos has been struck down again.

A monster has appeared from the remnants of a dead god surprisingly quickly. Cim has quickly taken care of this by mind control.

Serac has lectured the crew of the Boots of Soaking on food distribution technique and has created an Oracle at the Hardboiled Rainbows shop. Serac has also granted his three created races increased common sense.

Kli has blessed the Hummingbirds with increased common sense.

(Constellations for Neron: 0/3 support, opposition literally dead?)

The irritating music is still about never giving up the listener or some mortal romantic nonsense.

Kyloth and the five golem angels have made a palace of almost pure gold in honor of the late Yaos. Azem has provided much lead and iron for Kyloth to transmute.

The tournament is still collecting many competitors. New competitors include a Human with a magnificent horned helmet, a Golem of lead and iron, and a Star Dragon surrounded by smoky shadow.

A follower of Neron responsible for creating Neron-shaped stockings has been rewarded with long life and luck. News has spread of how Neron rewards the strongest, wisest, and kindest followers.
"But they are all just bows! I only need one of them."
"Happy future Ice Age too!" (x9)

The Frozen Guard suggests that the lanterns may have been responsible. Merwen vehemently denies this.

The Light has created a plane in the shared dimension and locked it. The Muses have detailed a pillar of microcline with representations of all the gods.

This update's constellations are the Human and Pentagram. A comet streaks past Slytha.

(The common sense upgrade is now 0E.)

(You're kidding, right?)

Spoiler: Alchemy (click to show/hide)

The metaphysical science/mystical art of manipulating and altering matter by using natural energy. This act is known as transmutation and its sequence is usually described as:

Comprehension - Understanding the inherent structure and properties of the atomic or molecular makeup of a particular material to be transmuted, including the flow and balance of potential and kinetic energy within.
Deconstruction - Using energy to break down the physical structure of the identified material into a more malleable state so as to be easily reshaped into a new form.
Reconstruction - Continuing the flow of energy so as to reform the material into a new shape.

The proper application of this craft requires a full understanding of chemistry and alchemical theory, which require uncommon levels of intelligence and aptitude. Those remarkable individuals capable of studying and practising alchemy are known as alchemists.

There are many paths by which alchemists can transmute the various substances of the world, but the basic tenet at the very foundation of all alchemy is that of Equivalent Exchange.

(In any case, it's not exactly something anyone can claim exclusive knowledge of here. It seems you pulled your definition from an external work, and there are plenty of other systems of alchemy just as there are plenty of other systems for magic or, really, running games in general. I'm not sure why this alchemy business is causing such a ruckus, but I repeat the point that patents, copyrights, and other such things will not be enforced by me even a little.

I'm inclined to copy the "We're gods, so it works" argument for these sorts of things. If you can create an entire universe, you can probably independently come up with some sort of alchemy.)

The Light appears on a volcano. A pillar of colourful light with humanoid facettes.


"Fellow gods. Brothers and Sisters and Inbetweens, we stand here gathered as exemptional beings!
For a while we were cooperating to get a reasonable system running and great things were accomplished at that time.
But then, MISTRUST was spread, and we began fighting one another. Truthfully we must admit that we were too proud
to see that the individual god could not develop a UTOPIA on its own.

On the other side you have the void, and we do not know what it means that there is a void. However, we spent time
and time squabbling, instead of truthfully unifying ourselves. Only united we can actively develop a strategy on how we
should deal with the void.

I therefore call all the friends of peace and unity to stand under the Pantheon of Unity.

Riddlesome as the light is, it dissappears shortly after.

The Boots of Soaking have resumed their distribution of food aided by a gift of common sense from Serac.

The probably Yaos-derived essence monster has disintegrated and dissipated after being commanded to do so by Cim.

Kli: "What is fun like? I forgot."

The Light has sent the followers of unity to the pillar to protect and embellish it and allowed the Muses to embellish Luminee temples with permission. The Light has also attempted to create exact replicas of the two worlds in the new plane of Light and failed.

Neron's appearance at the City of Red Stone has led to nearly everyone stepping up to have a wish granted. It is difficult to see who is who.

This update's constellations are the Ring and Horse.

Organize Gruen Society into the following Caste System:

Spoiler: Castes (click to show/hide)

Budding Caste:
This caste encompasses all those Gruen who have not picked a specialized caste to join. It is the first caste to be formed in any new Gruen settlement and its members are typically young Gruen who will perform the functions of any other specialized caste albeit with much less skill. Once a Gruen in the Budding Caste has decided what its interests and skills are, it will generally transition into a more specific caste that reflects these skills and interests.

Harvester Caste:
This caste is composed of Gruen that harvest and cultivate food and other vital resources to keep Gruen society functioning. Members of this caste also prepare food for Gruen society and many of them create delicious and unique dishes that play a large part in keeping the various members of Gruen society happy.

Warrior Caste:
This caste is composed of Gruen that live for the thrill of fighting, hunting and eating the enemies of Gruen society. They train constantly to become some of the most fearsome mortal combatants in existence and their eating habits result in them quickly becoming adapted to new enemies and environments as they encounter them. The most skilled of the Gruen Warriors eventually can become formidable Gruen Warlords who lead the Warrior Caste.

Architect Caste:
This caste is composed of Gruen that enjoy creating items or buildings with their spores. They devote their lives to perfecting spore developing techniques so that they can create items and buildings of great quality and functionality. The most skilled of this caste are the Grand Architects who organize the Architect Caste and design masterful creations and buildings.

Priest Caste:
As Gruen Society progresses, a small Priest Caste inevitably forms to lead the community. This caste is composed of the most wise, intelligent and powerful Gruen in any society. They run Gruen society as well as the Gruen Faith. The Gruen Priests are also trained in use of magic powered by Gruen Belief. Powerful Priests become Arch Priests which lead the Priest Caste.

Drone Caste:
This caste is composed of mindless Gruen Drones that can perform fairly simple tasks such as fighting and manual labor. The Drone Cast tends to form early on to help with basic manual labor and material transportation. Drones are also used extensively by the Warrior Caste as fearless grunts. During times of conflict, the Drone Caste tends to spike drastically in size as the need for warrior grunts increases.

Gruen choose a caste as they grow up and learn their interests. A Gruen may change castes at any time if they feel their current one does not suit them but this is a very rare occurrence. The exception to this rule is the Drone Caste which is made up of mindless Gruen who cannot change castes. Regular Gruen can likewise not join the Drone Caste.

Tick 63: Reverse causality

The Light has attempted once again to create exact replicase of the two worlds. It continues to fail.

Neron has found the following strongest, wisest, and kindest followers:
A strong Rani: "Make me strong enough that the ground may shake where I walk."
An old Rani elder: "Help the people help themselves."
A charitable Shadow Raven: "Make known the wishes of Rita

Neron: "Yes. We did come from at least one of you. We offer rewards of Essence to the virtuous gods."

Grauel has reorganized the Gruen into a number of castes.

The Hummingbird who forgot about fun seems to be an average Hummingbird with no striking or particularly interesting attributes.

Azem hears these prayers:
"Make it rain negative coins in our town!"
"What's wrong with all the dragons?"
"How come no one wants my impact insurance plan any more?"

This update's constellations are the Rose and Claw.

KI'Tork formed from the void and gazed upon the universe and said 'Well this looks nice, but the people here don't seem nearly satisfied enough.Time to remedy that!KI'Tork uses 18 essence to speak to every intelligent being while using essence to manipulate their emotions to make the speech more effective.
"You do not have to hunger for useless scraps,worthless metal or pointless goals that make no difference in the end,(The Listener then feels very guilty and ashamed at this point),"Rather redeem yourselves of this foolishness and receive Inner PEACE! All those who simply lift up and worship the name of KI'Tork shall feel endless satisfaction for all eternity,This is the propsal I give you mortals.(The Listeners feel complete and utter peace,satisfaction,and happiness for five minutes of pure happiness that surpasses Varee's Drug rain 10 times over.),"Either pursue your hollow lies or be made one with PeaceThe Choice is Yours,Choose Wisely.'
At this point KI'Tork waits in the void for the response of the mortals. KI'Tork uses his remaining vestiges of power to slightly bless his new followers,Just to the point where it doesn't send him into dormancy.

KI'Tork doesn't go through with the emotion manipulation but Still uses 4 essence points to give the speech.((Yeah,sorry about that,didn't know what else to do with my spheres but I got an idea :-[.))
"Okay maybe I was being a little axe crazy with the 18 essence thing, but I've got a better idea.
KI'Tork uses 6 essence points to create a race of kitchen spirits, they are invisible to regular vision but can easily be detected by divination spells.They go around increasing the amount of satisfaction around them and weaken divine spells that conflict with my spheres,they appear wherever there is a lack of an important resource in an area or when there is a lot of satisfied people in one place.They are most commonly found in kitchens and KI'Tork's followers can summon them.

KI'Tork creates a  race of KOBOLDS.They are very small,ignorant,weak,and can't speak the main language, but they are numerous,very agile,Very Lucky and very Faithful.They compulsively steal things that aren't theirs to have and as such constantly annoy KI'Tork.KI'Tork creates 30,000 of them and puts them all on a random world(Flip A Coin)KI'Tork uses 5 points to do it.
'I shall create my very own people and they shall follow my spheres at all costs!'(Roughly a month later)'Oops,Well I can't just slaughter them so I'll just work under the assumption that any of them devoted enough to overcome their own nature will make quite the good cleric,But,Ah well...Whatever.'
To The Kobolds KI'Tork Says"My children you must constantly fight against the desire for riches and it will be a very difficult battle,but For Those Who Succeed,Eternal rewards await.
KI'Tork gives the kobolds the ability to see the Kitchen Spirits and KI'Tork tells them to wear chef's hats at all times, and that they should only wield either Divine magic or Kitchen utensils in combat.

(EDIT:Didn't know the protocol,The above 5 points suggestion doesn't exsist. :-X)

Create Hall of Ingenuity within gremlin lands.

Spoiler: Hall of Ingenuity (click to show/hide)

Large temple-like building of marble with four entrances and no windows. Within the building, right from the entrances there is magical darkness, inpenetrable by any light source. Within this darkness, sound does not exist, and all physical senses are numbed. In the middle of Hall there is an obelisk engraved with dark runes. Anyone who touches the obelisk gains great inteligence at the cost of gradualy (10 years) forgeting all that is unrelated to discovering new natural truths.

Next to each entrance there is a granite tablet with warnings of what is within, and a recomendation to those who dare to try to get an asistant should they succeed.

Tick 64: An actual milestone

Kl'Tork has sent a grand message but without tasping. A few of them are awed and impressed by this display and have turned to Kl'Tork despite heavy resistance from Neron, Quéßäre, Joha, Cim, Azem, Grauel, Serac, Khaziraad, and Fusil, who attempt to shield the Humans, Merfolk, High-Elves, Wolf-people, Wood Elves, Lycae, Golems, and Gremlins.

(Waiting in the capital V Void: It is recommended that you do not do that lest you end up paradoxing yourself for future reference (instakill, no save))

(Re chastity: As I recall, the design document stated that it applied to things like wanting to kill Yaos or Fusil yet again and putting it off or something like that.)

The Rani report a series of strange minor daytime earthquakes. They have created many charities in every town to aid the poor and the starved.
Charitable Shadow Raven: "No, only to make her will and presence known."

Cim and Joha have bet 2 Essence each on Fusil threatening to kill Kl'Tork, Azem 3 Essence on Fusil not bothering about the mortals, Joha 2 more Essence on Fusil doing so,

Cim and Joha have received 2E back, Azem has lost 3E, and Joha continues to be down by 2E.

Neron and Joha have created the Pine Tree Titans, giants with barky skin and pine needle hair. They wander the world protecting pine forests and spreading them.

Kl'Tork has created countless kitchen spirits on both worlds who are invisible to mundane vision and 30 000 kobolds on Slytha.

Yaos currently does not appear to be resurrectable. There is no body.

Quéßäre has created a large, wingless Dragon to serve as an angel of Deception and Guile. The dragon has gone to the hidden mountain civilization of the High Elves to guard them. The High Elves have begun work on another church to Yaos at the Imperial capital. They reluctantly spread the message of Coasts and Humans. Some prayers directed to Quéßäre are as follows:
"With your blessing, I have finally eliminated the vizier. The throne shall be mine!"
"Hahahahahawantsomesnooooow?"
"Those pesky lowborn mortals may begin encroaching on our land in a few years."

Azem:
"They're like coins but they destroy regular coins when they come into contact!"
The dragons seem to be bored and sleepy with the significant drop in amusing events.
"That is good to know! Time to send word to my contacts in those academies!"

Kli has blessed the apathetic Hummingbird with increased speed and a drive for excitement. Despite this renewed youthly excitement and increasingly dangerous behavior, he continues to be bored.

Teachings on Balance have spread to the Kobolds.

Khaziraad has created a Hall of Ingenuity within gremlin territory. The gremlins are awed by its appearance but fear it for its effects and have called in the CKG Institute to better understand its effects and guard the unready world from it.

"They test negative, Sir."

Gambling has spread to the Kobolds, much to the Luckiest Man's satisfaction. He has activated his Rod in a Kobold village square after the opening of a gambling house and released a rabbit uprising/flood.

This update's constellations are the Dagger and Sword. A meteor shower has destroyed an otherwise fine garden on Keshan.

(At the beginning of the First Crusade, when Cim, Serac, and Yaos' forces attacked STF, a jelly roll next to Fusil's prison flew at the allied forces and exploded. There were a few wounded but I don't think anyone was killed. Certainly no god has been killed by exploding jelly rolls.)

(That's....not what the message of Yaos is. Even after his sphere was changed to Coasts, he still insisted that he be worshipped as god of Humans and Ambition. Non-Human worship of him focuses exclusively on Ambition. His spheres after the fourth death and before his last death were Ambition and Coasts.)

A new Feast of Grauel has begun. This time, there is a significant contribution of seafood and precious metals.

KI'Tork blesses any being of any race that is dedicated to cooking with guardian kitchen spirits that will follow them and guide them in the arts of cooking, unless any being doesn't want the guardian in which case it will quietly leave.
Bless my kobold priests with the ability to create Kitchen Elementals,They are roughly 6 feet tall,float a few inches off of the ground and are made of a random assortment of kitchen appliances,The Elementals follow their summoner's orders to the letter,and are slightly faster and stronger than the average human.

Tick 66: Mnbrvcnp!

The Shiny Ones have furnished the mortals with much free advice on combat and managing finances. The tournament continues to accumulate guests, waiting for a signal to begin

The next Feast of Grauel has started. The town hosting is bursting with visitors and pilgrims wanting to see.

Kli has inspired the apathetic Hummingbird to realize his true calling. He has decided to promote the spread of amusement and mirth on his wanderings by playing pranks on random people.

The Kobolds have begun farming the rabbits released by the Rod of Amazement. Some of the more magically skilled Kobolds have learned a few spells useful for cooking. There is an increase in thievery, and many valuable items have disappeared from circulation.

Kl'Tork has spread the kitchen spirits to anyone eligible and created the Kitchen Elementals.

Quéßäre has created 1 000 more Wolf-people.
"Yes, definitely."
"The lowborn are more numerous and defensive than we are."

There is a rumbling on the Island of Death and Riches.

This update's constellations are the Lance and Lady.

Ratu leaves his host. The permakill sword would negate reincarnation anyway, no point in taking the boy with him.

Ratu: "It was Fusil that killed Yaos! Except for the suicide, he's been behind every single one of his deaths!. He was also responsible for the Stone Warriors who slaughtered scores of innocent Gruens and Mountwyrms! Considering that he was in charge of Dar-MA-Gome when he turned into a monster I'd say that nearly every bad thing since the universe began was Fusil's fault in the end. I recommend permanently sealing him and his angels away, if not outright killing them."

A Human woman with heavy makeup covered in knife-shaped stickers marked "FUSIL" with a musket also marked "FUSIL" with various dull knives marked "FUSIL" glued onto her clothing and a label marked "TYKKI" appears next to a jelly roll labeled "FUSIL."

"I am definitely... Tiki, by the way. Yes, definitely Tiki. Tiki. The jelly roll is definitely Fusil and not--He's Fusil, OK?"

The jelly roll begins speaking: "Good job as always, Tykki. Are you ready to kill Yaos off for the sixth and final time? What do you think, Yaos? No, I don’t expect you to respond. Ever again, really. It took a lot of effort to get you here. Orchestrating five deaths. Tykki had to put a lot of effort in to put you down. We did it mostly ourselves, too. I don’t remember the other Gods ever really helping me put you down, and despite what you think the Void had nothing to do with your deaths. It’s too bad it had to end like this. You started this when you had me arrested foolishly. Then killed me. I decided to return the favor. Before that, we got along fine. We could have kept that up if you were not so insane. I kept deciding to spare you, but you and your angels just had to keep antagonizing me. So here we are. "

"Tykki is the one who did most of the work. All I really did was point her in the right direction, and give her the powers needed to complete her mission, of course. A sword that could kill Gods, steal the souls of Angels, and change form with my blessing and her ability to change into any human-sized form."

"Tykki" scratches out her label and writes "Empror!" scratches it out again, and writes "Flyin Monkey!" She turns to you and smiles proudly.

"Yes, the Emperor, Jeffry, and every other Angel who ‘betrayed’ you was Tykki in disguise. You really underestimated her, the Emperor was no match for her at all. It was simple for her to kill him without you noticing, dumping his body in a grave outside. She had control over your Empire for centuries, perhaps it was a bad idea to leave such weak Angels out in the open? The Monkey was her too, I acted as the second. Originally it was supposed to be a Mountwyrm, but the transformation has some…unseen consequences. In the end, it ended up serving its purpose better, don’t you think? When I openly revived-I really had revived before that-whatever Void deal you made got you killed. That Jelly roll in my cell was Tykki too, of course. I don’t know why she was in that form, but it was the same one she used to attack Cim. Almost got him, too. The Stone Men were also me, though not Tykki unfortunately. I summoned a cheap army of lifeless puppets and had them pretend to follow you. They pulled up some cultist junk to wear all over themselves, setting off void radars and senses without having anything to do with the Void. The point was to get anger directed at you so I could kill you easily, I never suspected that you would end up killing yourself! It ended up being well spent essence. I don’t know what you thought you got from that, but in the end it didn’t help you at all. It only played into my hands even better than I had expected. Tykki killed you easily in the “DBP”, her sword easily overcoming the comparatively weak forces you were hoping to protect you. And your last and Final death? I just dressed up some shells as flying monkeys and had Tykki shoot you with them. It was all me and Tykki. In fact, most of the ‘misfortunes’ that befell you were caused by me. Not all of them, of course. For example I had nothing to do with the plague that wiped out so many humans. Why would I? I have practically been control of this empire for so long, it makes little sense to damage it. Now that you know how and why you died, it is time to finish you. Tykki, please, kill him one last time.”

"And did I mention I was totally Fusil?"

"Tykki" giggles and beats you with the gun.

Yaos has been struck down (perma)!

Ratu: "Also, Tykki did not rule for centuries. The Emperor's corpse was found to have a decomposition of weeks, not years."

"....Did Azem just kill Yaos?"

Ratu: "Azem would never kill Yaos! He was Yaos' best friend! He's the one entirely responsible for his very existence! He would never hurt Yaos and Yaos would never hurt him!"

Ratu leaves his host. The permakill sword would negate reincarnation anyway, no point in taking the boy with him.

Ratu: "It was Fusil that killed Yaos! Except for the suicide, he's been behind every single one of his deaths!. He was also responsible for the Stone Warriors who slaughtered scores of innocent Gruens and Mountwyrms! Considering that he was in charge of Dar-MA-Gome when he turned into a monster I'd say that nearly every bad thing since the universe began was Fusil's fault in the end. I recommend permanently sealing him and his angels away, if not outright killing them."

KI'Tork teaches the Kobolds how to tame exotic beasts,(Such as lions and so on.) Along with the knowledge of how to domesticate ordinary animals.
KI'Tork teaches the Kobolds how to brew alcohol from otherwise useless plants.
KI'Tork teaches the Kobolds how to ranch/herd Cattle.
KI'Tork Orders all of the Kobolds to build a citadel in the forest,The largest building is to  be a gigantic(By Kobold Standards)5 story tall 3000 ft by 3000 ft wooden cathedral/mess hall, If necessary KI'Tork teaches them advanced building tactics,KI'Tork also Orders the Kobolds to build a massive(4 ft tall,2 feet thick) wooden palisade surrounding the Citadel.
Order the Kobolds to fill the wilderness surrounding the Citadel with enough Booby Traps to make the Vietcong ashamed,Show them how to build Traps such as covered spike pits, An ordinary covered pit, Wooden Bear Traps, Crossbow traps from stolen weaponry and so on and so on.
Teach the Kobolds how to wage guerrilla warfare and the art of making lethal stone age weaponry.
Order the Kobolds to spend an hour every day praying to KI'Tork,Kobold Priests are to pray 6 hours a day, Tell them that any who pray more will be rewarded.Show the Kobolds how to make thousands of different recipes from the resources that they have available to them.
The Kobolds are to respect cooks above all other jobs except priesthood which is equal.
Tell The Kobolds to send Caravans and Missionary Priests to all corners of the globe.
Tell them that they can name the Citadel whatever.
KI'Tork Observes the fruits of his labors.
Tell my Non Kobold followers of the Citadel and Tell them that they can emigrate there if they wish,To those that don't I ask them to spread Satisfactionism(New Religion Name) To all Other peoples.
"Know they should be able to benefit the economy,Azem.
(BEFORE you guys freak out, realize that all I did was teach the Kobolds,which as far as I am aware is free,The Kobolds did the work themselves,and the Citadel is probably just gonna be nothing but tents and shacks for a few ticks,At least until I get around to creating Meat Plants, That is.)

I have to agree, I doubt it was Fusil. Unless Fusil wanted us to think it couldn't possibly be Fusil, but Fusil is not cunning enough to do that. Also, that didn't sound like Tykki's voice, and the permakill weapon was a sword? (but that could change.)

Cim, now you should compare all the gods to that energy signature and we have the culprit. All the gods and angels.

Farewell, Yaos.

Neron, I somewhat see where you are coming from with the proposal about Yaos's angels, but I disagree... but I don't really have any ideas for anything better to do with them, so, unless there is a different option presented, I wouldn't mind it. As for the human empire, I don't particularly care about what befalls it (well, aside from mass extermination or anything of that sort).

Tick 67: Fracture

"It is I, Nglezhrkerupuresnn'o, Emissary of Creation. I would like to remind you to avoid doing that. Who, you may ask, should avoid doing that? If you have to ask, you may ignore this broadcast."

Azem's tournament has started! Many brave or foolish heroes from throughout the land fight each other more or less haphazardly, resulting in numerous deaths. Currently in the lead are a hundred-bladed Armu, a Human with a white-painted face in colorful clothes with a seemingly endless sack of jelly rolls, and a diamond Gem Dragon who is currently taking a break selling the service of blade sharpening (often after having caused the dulling in the first place).

Yaos' remaining vessel has been eliminated by a bizarre duo that claim to be Fusil and Tykki in a leak of unknown origin. Ratu has also been slain and apparently converted into dice.

(Re color change: Artistic license or genuine mistake? You de(i)cide!)

Fusil worship has been banned in the Empire. The Human Council cowers and has sealed their chambers after removing all furniture and weapon-like items.

Kli:
Nervous Pilgrim: "I am entering this tree now. This may be the last you will hear from me."
Bored Child: "Why is playing gravitational dart ninjas no longer fun?"
Balanced Builder: "We have begun constructing a massive working set of bronze scales in the deep forest. May you bless our construction."

Kl'Tork has taught the Kobolds how to tame some exotic beasts, domesticate ordinary animals, herd cattle, fight asymmetrically, and make better weapons. They have learned how to brew Soporific Milk, which is both popular and addictive to the other races after experimenting with brewing. Kl'Tork has also added to Its worshippers' requirements and spread many different recipes and established the cooks as a priesthood. The Kobolds have begun to send caravans and missionaries out.

Kl'Tork has also commissioned the construction of a citadel in a foresti surrounded by traps. The Kobolds have begun working on it. There are currently almost no exclusive worshippers of Kl'Tork outside the Kobolds.

Rita seems to have been one of the seven Virtues. None of the gods seem to do enough genuine acts aligned with their virtues to be judged worthy of receiving a reward.

Neron has attempted and failed to read the minds of the colorful Virtues. [glow=black,2.300]Cassie seems to be particularly upset about this intrusion.

Darruth has granted the Seraphim attunement to Cosmic magic.

Appearing before the council is an audio document titled 'The Last Will and Testament of Yaos, God of Humans and Ambition'.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

"The Last Will and Testament of Yaos, God of Humans and Ambition"

"If the Council is reading this, it is because I have been permanently killed. This is basically a who-gets-what concerning my stuff."

"Azem, Joha, your friendship means everything to me. I love you guys." :')

*

"If my angels still live, they will remain independent. They may choose to align themselves to Joha and ONLY Joha."

"Now, because I predict that on my death Fusil will propose to disband it, I will say that the decision to do so should firmly remain in the hands of the Imperial Council."

"Azem gets Konva Prime and all of Konvas moons EXCEPT for Konva-1, which belongs to the Empire (with the exception of the small Armu colony there)."

"Protection of the Empire and its many peoples will go to Darruth, Azem, and Joha. Azem and Joha are already super popular there and the people will trust Darruth because of his spheres. While I hope you will all protect the Empire, the Empire's existence and independence will remain in the hands of the Imperial Council. Oh and Joha? You have access to the souls that died of the plague which I made sure to claim. That should help in bringing them back to life. You'll find them in the Spirit World."

"To Fusil, god of Pointless Conflict and Plot Derailment, Guns, Halting of Weapons Development, Racism against Certain Types of Weapons, Thickheadedness (seriously, I tried to NOT kill you), Hypocrisy (I'll let your multiple threats of genocide speak for themselves. Also if I hypothetically did intentionally kill you (I didn't), we'd be even by now considering that you were responsible for at least one of my deaths), and "Weapons", you get to know that I died knowing what a bullet is. Also, Tykki's fat."

"To Grauel, could you possibly make some more Bubbles for the rest of the gods? We probably wouldn't fight each other if we were all kings of our own universes. Gods know it's too late for me, though..."

"I think that's everything. If I remember more stuff to give away, I'll record it later and make this a multi-parter." ((Did I forget anything?)) "Unless proven without a doubt, it was Fusil. Besides that, I wouldn't worry too much. If I've done everything right, this permadeath is simply JUST AS PLANNED."

KI'Tork creates a dimensional afterlife plane called the Enldless Cavern,It is almost identical to an ordinary cavern,except that it is endless,has no predators and the prey animals are all 10 times as numerous and a tame to the point that they sacrifice themselves to kobolds.
Create A Massive Iron Cathedral where I had originally dedicated the wooden one to be built.
KI'Tork informs the kobolds of the endless caverns.
KI'Tork personally attempts to convince many influential chefs of lacking faith towards other deities to emigrate to the Citadel and worship him.
KI'Tork listens to prayers.
KI'Tork investigates the Citadel for Void/Other Deity Worshipers, He doesn't harm them yet if they are found.

Listen to prayers(I would answer the last ones but the people who made them are probably dead by now)
Check on Good cities, see how they're doing, in particular their relations with the rest of the world, security, how Good they've managed to maintain, etc.
In general make sure my followers are doing well, Good, happy lives, etc.
Oh, and, uh, recreate the Templars, by creating it as a small branch within the military branch of the Church(the military branch is, as you might have guessed, mostly for Protection), and granting the heads the ability to bless people as Templars, and the ability to grant some others the ability to do so as well(takes a ritual and ceremony and several of them and blah) Not with some sort of exponential growth thing; it's no small feat to become a Templar, but simply so that it can grow more organically, and replenish losses, and continue past a single(however lengthened) generation.

A glowing jelly roll has appeared before the Council.

? ? ? has been struck down!

Darruth: How many?

Kli: you have blessed the scales
Nervous Pilgrim: "I enter the tree. What do I see? Is that a log/from the old bog/I see before me?"
Bored Child: "But we just started again after a few months! It's just not fun any more because someone could die or get injured or whatever the voices are telling us now."

Azem: The painted Human and the diamond Gem Dragon face off in the start of a duel! The painted Human deftly dodges the diamond Gem Dragon's slashing and tosses a jelly roll in the Dragon's general direction! The crowd is cheering, and the jelly roll explodes in a cloud of egg yolks! The Gem Dragon has begun scratching at an arena wall, possibly cutting it!

Serac: You collect the dice. The fact that they used to be part of an angel is vaguely disturbing.

Neron: "Our impatience, perhaps."

Unless you meant 'how many people have ability to make Templars' in which case like maybe half a dozen. Like I said, big responsibility.

ADDIT (pressed post early):
(Kl'Tork: -4E)
Kl'Tork: You have created the Endless Cavern, a plane of Caves and Prey and an iron cathedral where the wooden one was to be built. The chefs politely decline your offer because stale food is bad food, and they must remain near their clients. A few do begin more openly worshipping you.
"I have invented a spoon that is also a forked utensil!"
"Wheere caan Iii find moore of that Soporific Miiiiiilk?"
There are a few worshippers of Grauel and the Void gods of Jelly Rolls. It seems they like the exotic Gruen condiments and spices.

You have tried and failed to find Yaos' remains.

(Darruth: -12E)
Darruth: You create 600 total Cherubim and Chiracyx.
"We thank you for removing that unruly witch."
"The Gem Dragons are being less generous than they already are."
"I'll jump off this tower and Darruth will let me float down slowly! Then you'll see Darruth is the best!"
The Good cities have recently become more isolated and their administrators have become more distrustful of outside un-Good influences, which they blame for Good people dying early.
You also recreate the Templars with some self-propagation ability.

Neron: Merwen has dismissed the until-recently-happy revelers. They begin the long journey home.
"Never."

Should the person jump anyway and Darruth decide not to let his worshipers test their God, Cim manipulates chance: as the person falls, a maid of the tower 'coincidentally' places a carpet on a railing on a balcony, which catches onto the clothing of the falling person to fall with him/her. The carpet wraps around the next balcony's rail just right to slow him/her down and swing him/her onto the balcony after that safely.

Now ket's see about this jelly roll thing still in the Council.

Ask the jelly roll politely to leave, as this is a private establishment, and it is interrupting.
If that doesn't work, toss it out on it's hind end, with the help of the bouncers(aka the Archon and presumably all the other gods that dislike the Void and/or jelly rolls.

So. I'm pretty sure that another God stole Palatino's body. I suspect either The Judge, The Feasting King, or possibly The Trickster, because that is always a possibility. However, questioning The Trickster would be less than useless. So, Cim. I suspect you because you took Tykki, and thus obviously have the capability, though it may have been an accident. I suspect Grauel because of his hunger and his desire to eat the bodies after the battle, or have his followers do so; when the explosion happened, he may have decided to eat the bodies that were there anyway.

In any case, I'm going to ask the rest of you if you did so, anyway, just to be sure, though I believe the Armsmaster would find it beneath his contempt to do so, and many of the others have little or no reason to.

Darruth informs KI'Tork that harboring Jelly Rolls worshippers in his lands will get him smote by the council very very quickly, as Jelly Rolls are instrinsically opposed to the gods for whatever reason. Or he could just end up getting assassinated by the people he's harboring. Either way, bad idea, dude.

The Empire pays some people to ask the following questions at the oracle (it's a benevolent genie-type oracle, right?):
"What questions have previous gods asked you?"
"What god was primarily responsible for Yaos' permanent death?"
"What other beings were responsible for Yaos' permanent death?"
"Who was behind the creation of the Harbinger of Doom?"
"Is the Harbinger of Doom and the Lich the same person?"
"Are there any more Void temples within this Bubble?"
"Who created the monsters that emerged from beneath so long ago?"
"Who is ? ? ?"
"Who is responsible for the monkeys which troubled Yaos during his lifetime?"
"Could the Council choose to revive Yaos despite his permanent death?"

So. I'm pretty sure that another God stole Palatino's body. I suspect either The Judge, The Feasting King, or possibly The Trickster, because that is always a possibility. However, questioning The Trickster would be less than useless. So, Cim. I suspect you because you took Tykki, and thus obviously have the capability, though it may have been an accident. I suspect Grauel because of his hunger and his desire to eat the bodies after the battle, or have his followers do so; when the explosion happened, he may have decided to eat the bodies that were there anyway.

In any case, I'm going to ask the rest of you if you did so, anyway, just to be sure, though I believe the Armsmaster would find it beneath his contempt to do so, and many of the others have little or no reason to.

Darruth informs KI'Tork that harboring Jelly Rolls worshippers in his lands will get him smote by the council very very quickly, as Jelly Rolls are instrinsically opposed to the gods for whatever reason. Or he could just end up getting assassinated by the people he's harboring. Either way, bad idea, dude.

Tick 68: Springs

The glowing jelly roll seems to blink at Darruth after being told to leave. It vanishes in a puff of laughter.

The Human Empire has been dissolved by Council action in a rare display of voter participation, and self-determination has been granted to its former citizens. A motion to mindwipe the angels of the late Yaos and give them to Kl'Tork has been similarly rejected.

Kl'Tork has continued with mobilization in preparation for the upcoming

Darruth has recreated the Templars with the ability to propagate themselves slowly.

Kli has blessed a construction deep in a forest with the ability to grant minor miracles to followers of Balance.

The Gem Dragon at the tournament has lifted a section of the arena wall and smashes it on the jelly roll jester, appears flat but intact! The fighting continues for the others, and there are now only a few hundred fighters left.

Neronmas has been stopped. The celebrants have been sent back to their homes save a few members of N.U.K.E, who begin establishing a central campus at the City of Red Stone.

After investigation of the Good cities' administrators' claims, it appears that Good people do indeed die earlier than non-Good people on average.

"She turned many away from the gods! She deserved to die, and she has disappeared at last!"

The Gem Dragons seem to be tired lately and less inclined to hire anyone in general. Many seem to be preparing for some sort of hibernation.

The jumping person has survived the fall.

Cim: "They ought to be, but almost no one thinks so."

Kl'Tork has granted the inventor of the spoon that is also a forked utensil immortality and increased intelligence, given a milk-drinker a bottle of endless Soporific Milk, and permitted worship of anything at all in addition to Kl'Tork. Additionally, It has blessed Its faithful with improved attributes, increased lifespan, and the ability to summon appropriate kitchen appliances.

The Sigh of Darruth has caused a hurricane to devastate an uninhabited island of no relevance whatsoever.

Khaziraad has enchanted the dust ring around Keshan to slowly remove Void influence. It is too early to tell how Void cults will react to this.

This update's constellations are the Staff and Phoenix.

Well, there are several ways I could answer that. For one thing, you could have used essence right before the end of the tick, so that when you gained Essence, it would look like you hadn't spent anything. For another, because it said it was from Quebare, and you tend to take poorly to your followers dying. For a third, it could ve a void being, trying to foment conflict, it could be another god, trying to provoke you, it could be a lot of things, really. The ice and the fact that the god of deception would never just leave a note proclaiming he did it makes it obvious itwasn't Quebare.

"If I did that, I would not have gained essence capacity, would I? It cannot be a void being. It wasn't from a void being. As I stated before, void beings cannot act without godly assistance in the bouble. And isn't the fact that you would think that make it a perfect deception?

It was obviously QueBare who killed them. I don't know where the explosion came from, but maybe it will remind him how fragile he and his followers are compared to me? There are few enough elves that I can wipe them out in an afternoon."

A. There you go making assumptions again. If you had more essence income than lost, you easily could have done so. Or you could have had a bomb ready to blow up anyone who gave you lip anyway. Or an angel could have done it. Or you could have used Essence you stored externally. That said, I believe you that it wasn't you.
B. we could ask Qeubare himself, now that he's back up.
C. Extinction events will inevitably turn the council against you once more, and it's quite obvious that complaining about the rules doesn't change them, and you can still be sealed, and you can still be killed.
D. Yeah actually I don't buy that bit about Void beings being unable to do so. Besides which, you have flat-out lied before, so I don't actually have any reason to think of you as a credible source about anything other than how nice a sword is.

"What do you mean making assumptions? I was simply stating it could not be me for those reasons. If my Angel could deal death blows without me having to put essence to it, why would I be putting up with such accusations? We could ask him, and ask him if he attacked. Of course, we can't believe what he says. God of lies, remember? He could of exploded himself. And seeing how slowly the council acts, I doubt anything would happen to me if I justifiable wiped out the enemy.

That something, well, one of somethings is this. God of satisfaction atempted this gig out of unknowing, and quickly abandoned such ideas few explanations later. It all happened before two angels died, which suposedly happened as accident from manifestation of Lecty. So Lecty has been here for a while, and those two deaths were a deliberate action, as confirmed by usage of their souls to claim a plane. I have little doubt that angels of Yaos will defend plane of their creator from such intrusion and I will help them.
Send Kyloth to defend Yaosian plane.

"Not really, no. I'd like to interact with the rest of the gods first and see what they're like. For example, the angels thought of Fusil as literally the most awful being in existence, but in person he's actually rather polite and well-spoken. It was a rather pleasant surprise! Though I must ask what the difference between a pantheon and an alliance is."

"Actually, no, the first death was an entirely coincidental accident. I purposely killed the second one but only because it was attacking me, I'd literally been born only a second ago, I was receiving a large influx of memories without preparing for it, and I was so horribly, horribly confused about what was going on that I just let instinct take over." (Can GM confirm this?) "As for the angels, they are unlikely to defend the plane for two reasons: one, they've sealed themselves away fearing their safety and wouldn't try to risk their life for a mere plane, and two, they can't, because they've sealed themselves away. In any case, I am currently in negotiation with the angels and it appears they're going to allow me to take the plane."

Angels of Yaos, very same angels that refused to allow spliting apart the empire even though it would had changed virtualy nothing, who had served very same god that would had claimed stars in the sky if he could, are just giving away a dimension and probably even becoming your servants?

"They're not quite giving me the dimension so much as loaning it and their servitude to me until Yaos is revived. As it turns out, they only refused the splitting of the Empire because it went against Yaos' Will and Testament. Since my deal doesn't contradict it, they see no reason to decline if I'm offering something of equal exchange. On my side, I'm bringing back the dead Controllers, offering them protection, and allowing them to find a way to revive Yaos in their spare time."

So you are playing their false hopes instead of direct mind control. Yaos is dead beyond coming back, as is signified by apearance of her testament. I will not call back Kyloth before Cim says his word, as I doubt that even angels of Yaos could be so simply tricked.

"Tricked? Oh no, they're well aware that the odds of Yaos returning is slim-to-none. They're angels created by the god of Ambition, though, and it seems their god's message of never giving up has rather become rather ingrained in them. Worst case scenario is that Yaos absolutely cannot be revived but at least then they get to be alive. In fact, do you have any questions related to Yaos or his angels I can answer? I think 1E per question is a fair amount."

Now if Grauel could only answer my question, everything would be just peachy...anyone know where his extra worshippers came from, by the way? He's outstripping Cim by this point.

And I still want to know how Cim got that high in the first place, anyway.

Azem once held the title of god of greed, but he moved on to wealth as we noticed that Yaos was far more bucaneerinfly oportunistic. But even at his worst Yaos couldn't even hold a candle to you.

As for Cim and Grauel I suspect they made their own seoerate physical dimensions and have a worshiper base there.

"I intend to be Good, actually. If I wanted to be Evil, I could've just made my own dimension, broke into Yaos', and paid for my dimension by eating all of the souls in Yaos' dimension. Then I would've hunted down the remaining angels and proceed to fuse them into a demon. It's a lot easier, a lot faster, I lose nothing, and there's no risk.

"That's....not really true. The original Shadow Realm and Human Plane - which still exist - are within the Council-made dimension known as the Spirit World. At some point, he created his own custom dimension outside of the Spirit World and moved all the souls from the old Shadow Realm and Human Plane into the new Shadow Realm and Human Plane.

Eventually, though, he grew to understand that you were responsible for him and his Humans and defaulted to appreciating you. Then you started actively going out of your way to help him and he started full-on liking you. As a friend of course. He wasn't lying in his will - your friendship and loyalty really did mean a lot to him, though he was rather upset when you damned his race to further die by the economic disaster you cursed them with.

Hello Malacath. And goodbye.
I am tired of all this fighting and intrigue. I am leaving the council to watch over my followers in relative peace. Another god can take my place in the council, in fact two have appeared. Goodbye everyone. You can find me in my pastry shop if you need me for some reason.

Hello! Most of you don't know me... I guess all of you since Serac left.
But hello! I am the new goddess of Death and Dust! :D Hopefully we can get along well!
Serac already told me a bit about most of you, so no introductions are needed. He agreed to help me get a footing in the council, so don't think I'm just some new weakling. >:(

To start, I need followers! And Serac says the easiest way to get followers is to make them, so let's go! :)
Create 3000 twilight born, and a bell of twilight in each of their cities.

Spoiler: Twilight born (click to show/hide)

 - Merge with their shadow/turn into shadows
 - Shadow walking (Teleport through shadows)
 - Always anchored to the planet by a chord of darkness and dust(no legs)
 - Able to see souls
 - One hand turns things to dust, the other forms things from dust (But they can only create what has been destroyed already)
 - Immune to magic (Cannot become mages)

Spoiler: Bells of twilight (click to show/hide)

 - Create an aura of constant twilight
 - Protect the twilight born from outsiders and other gods
 - Each time it tolls, everyone who hears it (Who is not a twilight born) crumbles to dust, but their soul remains for as long as they would have lived. (If a couple (2-3) souls work together they can still interact with the regular world.)
 - Attracts crows/ravens

Instead of making 200 animal spirits, Malakath just makes 100 but in the same proportions.

A mysterious explosion has rendered Quéßäre dormant. Neron has rescued Quéßäre from dormancy with a boon of Essence. Quéßäre has retreated to the hidden High Elf capital.

Countless radioactive jelly rolls have appeaered in all the gods' temples. Many nobles everywhere preach incoherent sermons about a most definitely without a doubt completely nonexistent Harbinger of Peace named Zukkilnuylthop.

The ratty priest has gone to the City of Red Stone, slightly calmed. While there, he has begun preaching about the imminent Age of Fire.

There are currently just over a thousand Kobolds. They are fairly faithful and continue working on the Citadel, which still has a long way to go.

(Spork Inventor: ?)

The other angels of Yaos seem to be in the corporeal dimension (but that doesn't really say much). More worryingly, Kyloth and the six remaining Shiny Ones are in Yaos' plane, staring down Malacath.

(The last non-Sappira one should have shown up as revived by now, but I think it was missing from the raw casualties list or something.)

Malacath has created 100 animal spirits to inhabit assorted large animals. She also takes the Yaosian dimension, which seems to have been thoroughly looted of souls.

Atropos has created 3 000 Twilight-born and placed a bell of twilight in each of their settlements.

This update's constellations are the Crown and Ship.

Now if Grauel could only answer my question, everything would be just peachy...anyone know where his extra worshippers came from, by the way? He's outstripping Cim by this point.

I've been asleep (busy rl) not ignoring you. Now putting aside that its not really any of your business, I've been leading in worshipers probably since before you ever formed. It's nothing new. I just invest a lot in my followers. There was no singular action that lead to this but many cumulative ones.

Regarding private planes. Yes, I may have one or more personal planes. Again it is not any of your business. No, I have not been stashing massive amounts of followers in any private planes yet. It's currently not even remotely necessary for me to do so. Almost all of my worshipers are located in the two main worlds. Other worshiper populations of mine not in the worlds are likely of similar size to the moon colonies if not smaller.

The bells will be rung at dawn, midday, dusk, and midnight. Mortals are warned to avoid the settlements at those times. Inns will be built within the cities with soundproof rooms, so travelers can rest overnight without being destroyed.

Ooh, dimensions! I want one too! :D
Create the Crypt of Eons.

Spoiler: The Crypt of Eons (click to show/hide)

The Crypt of Eons is a Plane filled with the records of everyone who has ever lived in the bubble. Each life is recorded as it happens,  and when they die their remains are sealed in a coffin with their records placed at the coffin's foot.
The reincarnation works in layers, with each life being a level below the last. A statue of the person's soul holding a hourglass counting the length of each life is placed behind their final coffin, and stairs lead below the statue into their past lives below. If something happens and they die with no way to reincarnate (permanent death) then the hourglass stops counting time and the dust within is consumed by an eternal flame. The final coffin is sealed, and that person is gone.

Behind the main Crypt is an enormous hourglass that counts down the end of the world, but it has so many twists and turns that only Atropos can tell what it means. Around the hourglass are the tombs of the gods, and inside each of the god's tombs are the tombs of all their angels.

The oracle can tell you anything the GM knows for a small price, and I have no way to know what you ask or get as an answer. Just so everyone knows.)

Now, time to fix up Serac's old things!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Convert the coral crown into a circlet in the shape of a city crumbling into dust. The center has a glowing tower, and many buildings are collapsing away from it. The farther you get from the center, the more destroyed they are. The two eels are returned to Serac.

The shield will no longer turn things into jokes, it will just crumble them into dust. And instead of being a shield, it will become a black gemstone set into the front of my circlet. (On the glowing tower.)

Billy will be turned into a race of diplomatic jellyfish with pearlification powers and the ability to join together into many shapes, and the rest of his powers (The protection and such) are transfered into an angelic dust cloud that rides on my head, inside the circlet.

You are going to burn yourself out at this rate! Here, let me help.
If Atropos falls below 5E, Serac will boost it back up to 5.

No, I did not make any deliberate action to steal angels. I was given a lot of ash offerings from the battlefield so it's completely possible I ate the angels but again, no I did not specify to steal any angel bodies and I am not hording them away in any private plane of mine.

He also felt that your cynicism towards the Council was not as justified as Darruth's and that it was almost a little bit "wangsty" as he called it.

Merchant 1: An arms dealer who profited greatly from the recent battle and its conclusion.
Merchant 2: A Medical merchant who likewise profited greatly from the battle in addition to profiting from the plague outbreak
Merchant 3: Owner of one of the five largest transport businesses on Keshan.
Merchant 4: Powerful Mystic Snow dealer, controls nearly a quarter of all traded Snow
Merchant 5: Operates a large cosmetic products monopoly, has ties to life-extension research
Merchant 6: Trades and produces desirable and valuable magical items, primary source of funding for much magical research

"Eat me! Eat me! Eat me!"
"What kind of food do you like the most?"
"Can we have your sacred saliva?"

Malakath: The ashes have all revived, it seems. The unrevived angels are the ones who disappeared.

The Controllers who agreed to your deal spread out and begin spreading your message.

A Controller angel has been struck down!

Who was the Controller's master? Malakath or Yaos? If it's Yaosian, I claim the soul and place it in the Heavenly Plane. If it's one of mine, it should've gone there automatically. I find the soul and ask them how, where, and why they were killed as well as who killed them.

I release one of the Controllers' souls within my body to inhabit the Heavenly Plane. He can confirm what it's like to be a soul contained within me. ((Like sleeping in a warm bed, completely at peace.))

Now that I have a dimension, I can do blood stuff! Blood oaths and blood marriages are now a thing.

Blood oaths:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

By drawing blood and declaring a blood oath, a person binds themselves to adhere to the blood oath. If they fail, they will die and Malakath eats their soul. Thus, blood oaths are extremely serious business. Blood oaths cannot be taken if the conditions to completing the oath are impossible to complete. If a person takes two blood oaths and they contradict each other, the person is required to complete the oath they swore to first with no consequence. If a person swears a blood oath knowing that it will contradict a previous blood oath, they will die and their soul eaten by Malakath.

Blood marriages:

There are three categories of blood marriage. Blood marriages are enacted in a similar fashion to a blood oath.
The first category is one where if one spouse dies, the other one dies too.

The second category of blood marriage is much more radical. Both spouses can only die if the other spouse is also dead, except for when the cause of death is old age. If a spouse is killed and the other spouse is still alive, the dead spouse will return to life within a few minutes. A large amount of both spouses' life spans will be used to power this marriage.

The third category is one pertaining to fidelity, can be layered over the first two categories, and has two sub-categories. The first sub-category will kill an unfaithful spouse and their soul will be eaten by Malakath. The marriage is automatically annulled. The second sub-category simply annuls the marriage. In both cases, the faithful spouse gets back their lost lifespan but the faithless does not (assuming the chose to get a category-2 marriage as well).

All categories of blood marriages increase the love felt between the two spouses for each other.

All successful blood marriages allow both spouses access into the Heavenly Plane.

I arrange for the Heavenly Plane to be a utopian civilisation rather than a pure feel-good place like the Paradise Plane. It'll also have its own volunteer army to defend it from any intruders who attempt to kill them or eat them. (Since they're immaterial, they can only harm beings inside an immaterial plane.)

Blood magic is defined. It now branches Ritual magic, Elemental magic (bending), Divine magic, and Necromantic magic. Blood is defined as being the silver of the soul and gold of the will. That means that unless the blood's owner is dead, it cannot be used in magic unless the owner itself chooses to use it themselves. Even then, Necromantic blood magic is pretty weak and is only decently useful in the hands of vampires (who don't exist.) Mind-control prevents blood magic.

Rules of blood magic:
Blood magic can't be "powered up" by killing people. There are two magic classes that use dead people blood - Elemental and Necromantic. Necromantic blood magic, as we've already covered, is pretty much useless unless used by a vampire (which don't exist, unless you count Malakath). Elemental magic makes more sense because it's basically blood-bending but mana usage is still a concern. More blood manipulation = more mana usage at a linear rate. On top of that, using dead people's blood is more mana-intensive than using your own blood. The only advantage is that you don't make yourself physically weaker. Even then, dead animal blood works just as well as dead people blood with the same mana-usage.

(Just to make it clear, I'm expecting to not have to use Essence to perform any of these actions.)

Spoiler: Disclaimer on Blood Magic (click to show/hide)

"The silver of the soul and gold of the will." I'm not entirely sure I'm sourcing this right but I think I got this phrase from Hellsing. Blood magic was NOT defined the way it was to fit the phrase - it just so happens that the phrase fits well enough to have it as a label. Considering my spheres of Souls and Blood, it makes sense that the two would be connected - thus "silver of the soul". Blood magic would be overpowered if blood mages could control all blood since almost everyone they meet is likely to be filled with blood; making sure that only owners of the blood can use it is a mechanical necessity - thus "gold of the will".

I dislike you becouse you want to claim and change what was once Yaos instead of making your own. Such lazy behaviour when it comes to creation is an insult to me. I would just let it slide if not for the way you do it.

You say that angels of Yaos are dealing with you by their free will when you hold two of them hostage.

You say that they are doing this for Yaos while claiming and twisting all his creations into unrecognisable forms.

Your atempt to influence the mortal minds was stoped, so now you try to do the same by sending angels to preach your word to our worshipers.

If I allowed you to simply get away with all of this, I would have only myself to blame when my worshipers started praising the blood goddess and my creations are taken away from me, all the while my vasals are slaughtered. Ever since your manifestation you claimed whatever you saw, as if this bubble was yours to begin with. It started with works of a dead god, I doubt it will end at that. Even to ask a question conserning how much you intend to take you ask us to pay. Ypur desire is reflected by your actions. Others are content to ignore this, as you are not yet a threat, but I shall not.

Tick 70: Elephant in the room

There is a temporal tremor in the Bubble.

Atropos has created the Crypt of Eons and converted a few of Serac's items to suit the spheres of Death and Dust.

Kl'Tork has begun searching for the odd non-Void jelly rolls and has blessed hsi priests. Khaziraad has contained all of them in lead boxes.

The Feast of Grauel reaches its climax with Grauel's attendance. There is much seafood and metal in the stew this iteration of the Feast. A participant has begun eating various refractory ceramics and high-boiling metals. Another has been eaten on request and yet another one has collected the Sacred Saliva.

Malakath's angels have begun spreading the teachings of Malakath. One of them has been sawn to bits by a band of irate Golems and Gremlins.

(The 2E was cancelled and shows up as such on the spreadsheet, so don't worry.)

Malakath has initiated the concepts of blood oaths and blood marriages and created a new system of blood magic aligned to herself.

This update's constellations are the Dragon and Candle.

Usualy, when a new god manifests, it creates something new, they add to the creation. They create a race to sustain them in their work, which gives time to see their goals and personalities. You however, have spent your power on creating a plane for unfantomable reason and gained an army of angels which serve you for a reason I fail to immagine. You have power, and we have no idea of what you would do with it. It would be easy to send out said angels with orders to be a little bit more persuasive in their spreading of word.

So I allowed my followers to express their desire for excecive preaching to stop. They are not required to kill your angels, but they are allowed. I doubt any would try unless your servants were unable to identify growing dissatisfaction within the crowd. For now, I will wait and wach. I have not done anything to stop you or even slow you down. It is entirely up to you to validate my suspicions, or prove yourself as a beneficial part of this council.

Just to make it clear, blood oaths, marriages, and magic are not exclusive to those who worship me. Blood magic does get more powerful when the mage worships me, though, and Divine blood magic actually is exclusive to those who worship me. I'll still get Influence from usage of all this blood stuff even if they don't worship me, right?

On your question about angels, one of the reasons I am building an "army" is simply so they can serve as missionaries. Recruiting already-existing angels is free while even creating a slightly magical prophet costs Essence. There's another reason why I want these angels and that reason shall be revealed soon. Also, I have a lot less power than you think I do. Or perhaps I have more than I think I do..... Why do you think I'm so powerful again?"

It was purely fault of your angel that that happened. Mortals have full right to refuse worshiping a god(des), and since your angel was distracting, they helped it to move elawhere. It will reform in a tick or two, with knowledge that there is such a thing as trying too hard. As for my followers who have sinned in your eyes, well, I'd be a poor god if I just allowed you to have your way with them.

As for the power of yaosian angels, while their combat value is limited, the trust that citizens of the Empire put into them is great. They have ruled the Empire in the past and they could do so again. Even without that, few words would be enough to have overwhelmimg majority of humans worshiping you.
Protect my followers from Lecty. Send two angels to protect them from Yaosian angels if needed.

Malakath: You have destroyed the souls of a few dozen Golems and Gremlins. There is a general uproar in the Golem and Gremlin cities and those of sympathetic races, and they have taken to burning effigies of you and posting anti-angel signs everywhere. Naturally, those destroyed will not end up reincarnating.

(Yes. I believe non-worship blood magic will generate Influence income for you.)

(I was suposed to protect their souls/lives while angels defended them from more physical attacks. My next post is rather dependant on wether or not this protecting happened.)

You, Azem, and other gods have nothing to fear. I take no offence in angels praising their creators, it would be more worying if they didin't. However, if they start agressively pushing their god, it is only fair for mortals to give them an oportunity to cool off a bit.

You, Azem, and other gods have nothing to fear. I take no offence in angels praising their creators, it would be more worying if they didin't. However, if they start agressively pushing their god, it is only fair for mortals to give them an oportunity to cool off a bit.

"We don't know the full extent of an angel's ability to revive on their own. Quite a few angels from the Second Crusade have not revived, for example. In any case, death is much too great a punishment for the crime of merely preaching, even if the death is merely temporary. They could've just asked the angels to leave."

Lord Malakath officially apologises for permanently killing the Golems and Gremlins. Emphasis on 'permanently'.

Lord Lecta defines the battle-sibling's blood bond:

Spoiler: Battle-Sibling Blood Bond (click to show/hide)

A bond between two warriors that improves their ability to fight in unison. If one of the warriors is killed, the warrior's soul will co-inhabit the body of the living warrior giving them a large, temporary boost in power, even greater than fusion.

More than two warriors can be part of the bond. In such a case, the warrior's soul will remain for the remainder of the battle and increase their team-fighting ability. Once only a single warrior remains, the other warriors' souls will co-inhabit the living one's soul and give it a proportionally large, temporary boost in power.

As the name of the bond suggests, the bond will only affect close friends.

All warriors who die in battle after taking the blood bond will go to the Heavenly Plane, save for one exception. If a warrior purposefully kills their battle-sibling on purpose and without their consent, the warrior will die and go to the Shadow Realm.

---

Malakath Lecta, goddess of Souls, looks upon the art of soul-manipulation and saddens by the way it is seen as a taboo magic. With a name such as 'Necromancy' and the way necromancers have been using their power - namely by spreading death and raising corpses and such - it's understandable. It is time for new branches of Necromancy to be defined.

Spoiler: Necromancy Reformation (click to show/hide)

The magic formally known as Necromancy magic is now known as Soul magic. The word 'Necromancy' is downgraded so that the first letter is a lower-case letter - becoming 'necromancy' - as it is now a sub-categorial form of magic (similarly to blood magic) and only refers to Soul mages who work with the dead. Necro.

Instead of manipulation of the souls of others, a Soul mage may instead choose to strengthen their own soul. This would provide small boosts in all types of power (physical, chi, magic) but would especially help with other Soul techniques and even Cosmic magic since the user would be able to handle more without their soul burning out.

A skilled Soul mage might even be able to heal their other people's souls if they somehow become damaged or corrupted. This allows them to actively help a Cosmic mage when performing a powerful spell as the Soul mage can repair the Cosmic mage's soul as it's getting burned.

More drastically, two mortals powerful in both Soul and Cosmic magic will be able to fuse with each other, thus taking the angels' exclusivity over the art away. Other forms of magic that can help in fusion are Elemental (blood magic and raw, physical elements), Ritual, Divine (Cim, Kli, Joha, Malakath, Fusil, if weapon-fusion is involved), Psymental (multiple minds), and Celestial (depending on active skyfeatures). Of course, fusion between three mortals would require all three to be exceptionally powerful in Soul and Cosmic magic, and four or more would be all but impossible due to the power and skill requirements, even with assisting magic.

Finally, a skilled Soul can speed up the development of souls such as Shinjo. They can even create non-weapon souls on their own!

Also, the idea of necromancers gaining power by eating souls is a myth.

A great many printing presses, town criers, and other information-spreaders are hired to begin spreading knowledge of the reformation of Necromancy as well as to spread information of blood magic/contracts on both worlds. Cosmic mages and the Armu are especially targeted as recipients of the information regarding Soul magic.

"Just a question, but is there a system where Essence is rewarded to a god who greatly participates in defining the universe?"

(I voted for worldbuilding in the OOC poll. This is my interpretation of worldbuilding.)

The three dead Controllers are revived. The original two are given offers to become Malakathian angels. As with the other Malakathian-aligned angels, they would still keep their Yaos-alignment. All angels (including Malakathians) are given freedom to do what they were doing before I was born.

---

(I'd forgotten what it was like to just be able to do things besides fight other gods or wait for my Essence cap to increase. It's nice.)

A different but equivalently useful form of fusion can be used by those without magic. Two people with a lot of chi and chi control will be able to fuse so long as they have an active blood contract. A blood contract is not strictly necessary but a lot more mastery over chi from both parties would be required without one.

Malakath creates ten combat-diminished angels. They will build temples and serve as priests spreading the word of Lord Malakath Lecta and writing contracts for people. They will perform these two duties separately in a religious fashion and a secular fashion, respectively. Five will go to Slytha, four to Keshan, and one to Konva-1.

Lord Malakath creates wyrms: small draconic animals. Unlike dragons, they only have two legs. Their fire is naturally produced but they can only manage two shots per day. Typically, they use one of these to hunt prey and save the other for attackers. Keshan and Slytha will each be host to 800 wyrms. (0E for non-magical animals)

Post by: Andres on December 24, 2014, 09:20:49 am

Malakath creates the concept of 'Oversoul'.

Oversoul:

Spoiler: Introduction and Effects (click to show/hide)

When a sapient being completely masters all primary forms of power available to it (physical, chi, and (if they're magic-capable) magic), they have a chance of going Oversoul: getting a x10 multiplier on all forms of power and going through a noticeable change of appearance for a limited amount of time.

All mortals are theoretically capable of oversouling. It's actually easier for a non-magical being to gain access to Oversoul but magical beings who access Oversoul are quite a bit more powerful than their non-magical brethren, simply because they would be just as powerful in the physical and chi departments but they would also have access to magic.

Appearance changes tend to vary from race to race and even person to person. Some gain a standard aura, some a wavy one, some get some colour changes, for some it makes their hair grow....some can even get new body parts! The appearance of the a being's Oversoul state can also change as it its soul changes in personality or emotional charge.

Once a being reaches the apex of its own power, it is capable of going Oversoul once a particular emotional trigger is hit. It could be rage, despair/grief, determination/willpower, or transcendence/focus. A combination of emotions also work. Watching your family get killed would be both incredibly sad and incredibly rage-inducing, thus providing a stronger catalyst for getting to Oversoul.

Spoiler: Physical Alteration and Other Limitations (click to show/hide)

Oversoul plays off of the metaphysical aspects of the soul, rather than its physical or tangible aspects that are usually focused on. It's all about that particular being's ability to be the best it can be relative to its difficulty in attaining the mode. Thus, it is just as difficult for a Human to reach Oversoul as an Ikaku or a Golem.
Artificial drive to attain Oversoul or simply become more powerful is considered to make it easier and it would be proportionally and inherently harder for it to attain its goal, more or less as difficult as someone without the artificial drive simply because their soul will need have even stronger emotional charge. Thus, if a god (ANY god - including gods of Souls or Emotions) simply gave a being more willpower, stronger sensitivity to emotions, giving it immortality, or something else so it can get to Oversoul faster, it simply won't work. Trying to find ways to go around this rule like putting the being in a dimension where time moves faster (thus decreasing the "real time" it would take to meet the physical requirements) will only lead to disappointment.
This rule doesn't just apply to gods, though. Mortals attempting to make it easier using Psymental or Soul magic will have equal amounts of success.
The whole rule only applies to attempts to artificially alter the being itself to make Oversoul an easier goal for it to achieve. Doing things like making the being watch all its friends and family being killed right in front of it as it's forced to watch impotently would get the being to reach Oversoul faster.

It's more difficult and thus takes a lot longer for an immortal being such as a High Elf to attain the form because the odds that it will eventually meet Oversoul requirements are relatively high, simply because they have so much time to complete the requirements. It's still possible for an immortal being to get to Oversoul, though, but it's definitely not possible for them to reach Oversoul level 2 (*see Oversoul 2 below). They have the option, however, to sacrifice their immortality to a relevant god to reach those levels. It is also the only way to make getting to Oversoul easier, but only because they now have a limited time to attain it before they die.

The possibility for an angel being able to Oversoul is so small it's actually rather laughable. Even worse is that it could theoretically be impossible. Oversoul relies on a being having a strong soul and becoming as physically powerful as it could possibly be. The problem here is that if angels don't have these power limits, they would never be able to get to Oversoul because reaching and surpassing limits is the whole point of Oversoul.

Gods straight-up can't get Oversoul ever because their capacity for emotions and/or power is (perhaps literally) infinite.

Spoiler: Surges and Attainment (click to show/hide)

There's a general path a being follows as it attains oversoul. As it gets closer and closer to meeting the requirements to attain Oversoul, the being will occasionally get Oversoul "surges".

Surges tend to occur either when emotions flare up or during a particularly strenuous burst of physical activity.

Oversoul surges are basically demos; they multiply power the being's power and change its appearance, but not as radically as true Oversoul would. The effects of the surges are relative to how close the being is to Oversoul - the closer they are the greater the multiplication of power and the more radical the appearance change. The multiplication in power tends to be from barely anything higher than a x1.1 multiplication up to a x3 multiplication.

These surges are only active for a very short amount of time - a split-second to about a second and a half. As such, the being can usually tell that they've experienced a surge only after it's passed. Of course, the amount of time a surge is active is greater the closer the being is to attaining Oversoul.

As the being gets closer to Oversoul, it will begin getting more and more surges closer together. Once the requirements are passed, the body starts getting surges regardless of if there are any physical or emotional triggers. The space in time between surges begin with minutes in between each. The time shortens on its own after each surge until it's practically consecutive. At that point, a surge will be constantly maintained for a few seconds before they get a truly massive surge in power and their appearance changes drastically.
The being has attained Oversoul.

This initial true Oversoul lasts for about ten to twenty seconds and the being will feel rather exhausted immediately after.

Spoiler: Usage and Training (click to show/hide)

After the being attains Oversoul (and has a good night's rest, most likely), the being will from then on be able to access Oversoul whenever it wants and can never lose the ability.

The time the being will be able to use Oversoul is initially rather small - only about five seconds - and will always feel very tired afterwards (though not to the same degree as the first time) and will have to rest a bit before it can oversoul again. Simply using Oversoul increases the time that can be spent in the mode the next time it's used, especially if the being actually uses Oversoul's power while they're in it. Going a long time without oversouling will eventually decrease the time it can be used each time in the same way that muscles atrophy when not in use.

Getting less powerful (in terms of base power) does not decrease the time that the being can use Oversoul in any way so long as they continue to use the state. Similarly, there is no penalty if the being regains its base power after losing it.

If the being is physically altered to be less powerful (such as if a god gives them the combat-diminished trait), Oversoul will simply compensate by increasing the multiplier until it's just as powerful as it would normally be while in that state. The inverse will happen if the being was getting physically altered to be more powerful.

Spoiler: Oversoul 2 (click to show/hide)

Once a being masters Oversoul to the point where it could live its entire lifespan in Oversoul plus a few more years, the being will automatically go into Oversoul 2. Oversoul 2 alters the being's appearance even more radically and multiplies its power by x10, effectively multiplying its base power by x100.

The time that a being can remain in Oversoul 2 will be equivalent to the amount of time it could spend in Oversoul 1 when it first used it on purpose and the being will similarly revert to base form in a tired state. Training is a lot more difficult, though. Instead of using its power in Oversoul simply speeding up the process, it's actually mandatory to increase the time limit on Oversoul 2. Moreover, the being would have to train as hard as possible during the entire time and even then it would still take longer to increase the time limit that it would for Oversoul 1. Finally, there's a hard time limit of half an hour that simply cannot be surpassed regardless of how much training is done. It would, however, increase the time before the time limit starts atrophying after disuse of the state.

The reason why an immortal being cannot under any circumstance access Oversoul level 2 is because it is necessary for a being to be able to hypothetically live out their whole life in Oversoul level 1 in order to achieve Oversoul 2. If the being's lifespan is infinite then it logically cannot ever meet this requirement. Thus, it is necessary to permanently give up its immortality to a relevant god. It can give it to a mortality god, a soul god, a racial god (if the sphere and race align), a time god, a sacrifice god, or any other god that is definitely relevant to the sacrifice of immortality. The being will choose how long its new lifespan will be at the time of sacrifice.

Spoiler: Oversoul 3 (click to show/hide)

Once a being manages to train Oversoul 2 all the way to its maximum time limit, it can use Oversoul 3 - also known as Maximum Oversoul - whenever it wants. It changes the being's appearance even more radically and multiplies its power by a massive x15, effectively increasing its base power by x1500. The state lasts for a flat thirty seconds. This amount of time cannot be increased or decreased. The being will NOT automatically go into Oversoul 3 as soon as the requirements are met.
The being needs to make a very purposeful decision to go into Oversoul 3. Any physical alterations to the being that would make it more or less likely to access it will also increase or decrease the purposefulness necessary for the being to go into Oversoul 3 accordingly. Ditto for the time limit.
The reason why Oversoul 3 is known as Maximum Oversoul is because there is no higher level of Oversoul. Oversoul 3 is as high as one can go. The reason why it's so important that the being chooses to use Oversoul 3 is because after the thirty seconds are up, the being's soul will be entirely destroyed. The being will intrinsically know the effects of activating Maximum Oversoul.

Spoiler: Requirements and Additional Info (click to show/hide)

For a being to attain Oversoul, it must be sapient and it must have a soul.

Void worshippers cannot attain Oversoul because they by doing so they corrupt their own souls. Souls = the things that are absolutely critical to achieving Oversoul. So yeah, no Void stuff.

The being must truly align itself with a god relevant to the aspects of Oversoul. It can be a a soul god, a racial god (if the sphere and race align), an energy god, a magic god, a body god, or any other definitely relevant god. By 'truly align', it's meant that it cannot simply feign devotion to the god or alter itself to be devoted up until it reaches Oversoul or something. Continued devotion must be kept with a relevant god for Oversoul to be possible.

Simply achieving Oversoul would be incredibly rare to the point that only a handful of people (~3-8) on a planet would be able to reach it every generation. Oversoul 2 is rarer at only a few of those who've accessed Oversoul 1 (~1-3) can access it and it's entirely possible that there aren't any on the planet who can. The idea of someone being able to attain the messianic power of Oversoul 3 would be so rare as to be considered a subject of prophesy.

The idea of Oversoul is that it is pure. It cannot be meddled or altered or gamed. It's so potentially powerful that it's necessary for it to remain pure. It is a gift that cannot be abused and cannot be allowed to be abused.

Lord Malakath informs the mortals about what oversouling is and tells them to find a Soul temple for more info on how to gain it.

Lord Malakath's new symbol is that of a white circle with a tinge of blue mixed in. It has a small red aura around it and a drop of blood is dripping from it.

A supernaturally powerful plague resisting magic and mundane cures has broken out and killed a full quarter of the Kobold population.

(Terminology changes have to be limited to prevent abuse and limit confusion, so GM text will use previous definitions of necromancy, Necromancy, and stuff like that. This doesn't stop you all from adopting agreed-on conventions.)

(Soul magic: For balance reasons, Soul mages have a non-trivial chance of burning out if the targeted Cosmic mage had a non-trivial chance of burning out in the first place.)

News of Malakath's recently created magical systems have been spread throughout the lands. The Armu have begun researching it.

Strange beasts have appeared everywhere. Most are not hostile, but their appearances are deeply disturbing.

(Malakath: -7E)
Malakath: You revive the dead Controllers. One agrees to serve you and the other two decline.

You also create ten combat-diminished angels to assist with contracts on Keshan, Slytha, and Konva-1 and wyrms.

(Kl'Tork: -1E)
Kl'Tork: You perform various miracles, but it is too early to see how effective it was. The Citadel is complete and is currently being decorated.

Darruth: A few of the Grand Cathedrals have been completed. The angels and Templars have begun an organized effort to spread the Good message. The Darruthian School of Medical Sciences has been opened at Goodhaven.

(Atropos: -3E)
Atropos: You create a race of desert-dwellers that lead people to their deaths who die if exposed to rain.

(Oversouls: OK, but it's going to be highly difficult for anyone at all to reach the requirements especially considering the pervasiveness of Void worship among the more self-improvement focused. Also, quantifying power with a one dimensional value probably won't work too smoothly within the framework of YG's mechanics, which has no unified power value for creations.)

Do they test positive on the VDD? If not, I eat the soul of a hostile one and send its corpse to one of the three science places (ISAY, Neron University, or Darruthian Med.) for dissection so long as they swear a blood oath to share their results with me. This is the point where I should say that blood oaths aren't 100% strict. If they forget to, for example, send a single important note that accidentally got lost amid the rest of the reports then they won't die. The point of blood oaths is to make people keep their word, not just to kill them. If they don't agree to the request of taking an oath, it'll just go to ISAY with no blood oath requirement. Their god is less likely to try to keep the truth hidden for....obvious reasons.

I eat the soul of a wyrm and a warg.

@Fusil: "Hey Fusil, you know how you opposed my idea of naturally forming souls because it would mess up the reincarnation system? Well, what about Shinjo? They're souls that naturally form on their own yet you don't seem to have a problem with them."

The terrestrial angel priests are sent to spread Lord Lecta's word in Mermaid, Human, Gruen, Ophanim, and Armu capital cities. An additional angel priest is made so that there's one priest for each race on each world.

If any angel priests find themselves in ANY danger, they are told to immediately pray to Lord Lecta and the other angels to tell them about what is attacking them. They don't have to go stationary or anything to pray - they (and any other creature) can pray while moving. Thus, it can send out a message even while it's dodging or running away.

They didn't exist, so I let you off with a warning by replying in kind.

Judging by your response, you didn't understand that. This proves that you had not understood that my followers did not have guns. Which logically means it must have been you who assaulted me, or attempted to. Do you deny this? As another proof, the fact that you had not told anyone about the attack meant that nobody knew I suspected you of it.

What kind of state would the world be in, if all contracts where held under the sword? When you can not trust your neighbor, your banker, or even your spouse? Even if I did not have such a problem with it, the way you form them not only gives you power, but allows you to steal their very souls away from me! They will continue researching Soul magic on their own, finding what place it has in society without the corrupting influence of your Angels on my perfect people.'

"Actually, blood contracts are not the norm, they are not expected to be the norm, and it would honestly be terrible for everyone involved - including myself - if they were. Blood contracts are meant to be taken extremely seriously and only for matters of great importance. Children cannot take blood contracts. You also seem to forget that a god of Deception exists, ironically enough."

Lecty, you just brought upon you hate of two whole races for temporary death of your angel. It is a black mark for you in my memory, but the action was self-punishing so I will not act on it for now.

"You are a god and so I wouldn't ask that you call me "Lord", but could you perhaps use my first name? I wouldn't even mind if you bastardised it in the same way as you do my surname but it sounds both aggressive and dismissive when called by your surname without a prior title.
"Trivialities aside, I publicly apologised for what I did to the murderers. I regret my actions and I won't do it again."

EDIT: @Fusil: "I will respect your request. My angels shall not enter Armu lands."
The angels that would've gone to Armu lands will instead go to Night Elf settlements.

"Perhaps me lying badly is a lie. I might be a really good liar who poses as a bad one, or perhaps I am not lying at all.

I do deny that. I did not do it. I knew that none of the followers had guns and did not try to kill them. Also, why would I write my name on an attack on your people that I have no reason to attack? That's an incredibly stupid accusation."(Sorry Stirk. I have to go for now. I'd love to continue this argument, but it's Christmas Eve and I'm going celebrate Christmas with my family.)

"Actually, I didn't destroy their souls. They still exist within me. Before you complain, I'll just state that souls I keep within me are as comfortable and at peace as they could possibly feel. It's definitely not the worst fate a being could have and in many ways it's better than living. Their quality of life has not decreased. Besides the fate of their souls, it can be argued that I'm morally superior to those who hunt for sport. They kill for no reason other than for pure enjoyment and are entirely ambivalent of what happens to the soul. I killed the animals for a purpose, I didn't enjoy doing so, and I made sure that in recompense for taking their life I can at least make their death as pleasant and painless as possible."

"They exist as what? Phantoms of what they once where? Even if they feel "comfort" or "peace", it is false feelings. It is a lie of a life. Hunting for sport, what is wrong with that? Non-sentient where made for our sentient followers to enjoy in any way they choose. Hunting for sport gives our followers an honorable past time, another use for weapons, and a useful resource that I doubt is wasted. The animal goes on to live another life in the other world, content that it had served its purpose fully. Nothing is truly harmed. You, on the other hand, broke the cycle. You destroyed what they where, simply to have another weak slave.

Are you suggesting that, if you had been a mortal, you would not want to hunt non-sentient dragons just to say that you did?"

Atropos, what were you thinking when you created creatures whose main occupation is killing by illusions? How long do you think it will be before some influential mortal decides to exterminate them all becouse they killed somone dear to them? Mages would be able to hunt them down with ease, Golems and Sepu could continue wandering the deserts and killing for eaons. Then again, mabye something so selfdestructive suits you.

*giggles* All death ends in my favour, remember? :D
Besides, they are just one more danger of the deserts. Compared to the plague that destroyed over a quarter of the Kobolds, they are really not a problem are they?

"So instead of being used for a definitive purpose and being rewarded for very real feelings of peace and comfort, it's better to slaughter them in an endless cycle of death and pain simply because it's amusing to do so."

"The feelings are very false. You cannot simply beam emotions into being's souls and pretend that these are true in any way. They are artificial, you might as well hook them up to mystic snow for all of eternity and pretend that is true happiness. They are animals, they live for years before being killed once, and they do plenty of their own killing in that time. It is the way of the world. The pain is temporary, and death blows are usually not the painful ones. After all, we designed them so that adrenaline and other chemicals will dull pain when it finds it useful. They have eternal life, living as the animals they are forever. That is something real, unlike the phantom existence you gave them, stealing away their true lives for a little of your own pointless use."

If they were being killed for a proper reason - food, safety, ingredients for a potion - then it might be justified, but killing for killing's sake is wrong. I think. Darruth, is killing for killing's sake evil, neutral, or good?"

"They are animals, their corpses always have a purpose. Even if they are left to rot, they give back to their environment. I am sure many hunters would love to prove themselves by taking down something as interesting as a wyrm, if I was a mortal I would love seeing one of their heads over my fire place. Durrath is a fool, I care not for his opinion on the matter. Even if this where true, how is it relevant? Bringing up something else you believe to be a sin does not effect the fact you stole two souls for your own purposes."

"That, again, proves you to be a fool. If this was done in another way, would you see it as paranoid and distrustful? If, instead of binding a God to eat the soul of their spouse if the cheat, they hire a hitman to watch them 24/7 and kill them if they stray, is that paranoid and distrustful? If a man holds a knife to the Banker's neck as he works, is he trusting them? Getting a blood oath is simply saying "I cannot trust you to do this unless you are willing to give up your very soul". That is not trusting them. That is, in fact, something that you would only wish on someone that you could never trust. Trust is an important thing in society's, and you hope to take that away. What is a marriage without trust? Even then, some successful souls are even pledged to you! If I lose my valuable followers whether or not they lose, why in the world would I allow this to even exist?"

Tick 75: Merry Neronmas!

The Bubble quakes with the snores of Azem. A distant, totally irrelevant, and completely unimportant star has gone nova!

The strange beasts strongly radiate Void energy, and the VDD proves to be mostly unnecessary. ISAY, NUKE, and DSMS analyze dead samples (which Malakath did not eat) and report that they probably have something to do with the Void. Researchers at NUKE report that their tentacles would make for a nice dish if combined with sea rice and seaweed.

Malakath has eaten the souls of a wyrm and a warg. The priests of Malakath have gone out to spread the word of Lord Lecta in Mermaid, Human, Gruen, and Ophanim capitals. They avoid the Armu cities for now after seeing potential hostility and visit the Night Elves, who are fascinated by the ideas. It appears the CKG has yet to stumble upon them...

Khaziraad has cured the Kobolds' plague completely, created the Ring of the Architect, and Tiamonium, a fossil fuel with approximately double the energy density of coal.

Malakath hears the following prayers:
"MUAHAHAHAHAHA! This ghost's bones will make for a fine bolt!"
"I want to make something that removes people's souls and burns them like coke. I think you're the right god for this. I MUST HAVE ROCK BLOCKS!"
"Is it true that magma is the blood of the earth?"

Malakath also attempts to grant the Dwarves common sense, but this has been blocked by Fusil and will now require some Essence to complete.

Neron has created a million Neronmas cookies and distributed them among the Kobolds and High Elves.

This update's constellations are the Seraph and Ikaku. The Keshan aurora are fairly bright. The dust ring seems to have changed.

Propose that anyone who doesn't vote on Lawmode or on a proposal surrenders 1 Essence to the Council to be used for any Council projects.

Oppose. Most proposals aren't worth voting on.

Congratulations on making a proposal that I'm against enough to actually oppose.

Also, I don't care about you trying to get some Gruen worship but two conditions. I don't want your agents in the capital where the Devourer lives and I don't want you turning them away from following me.

"Perhaps me lying badly is a lie. I might be a really good liar who poses as a bad one, or perhaps I am not lying at all.

I do deny that. I did not do it. I knew that none of the followers had guns and did not try to kill them. Also, why would I write my name on an attack on your people that I have no reason to attack? That's an incredibly stupid accusation."(Sorry Stirk. I have to go for now. I'd love to continue this argument, but it's Christmas Eve and I'm going celebrate Christmas with my family.)

"Yes. The fact you contradict yourself often makes it obvious that you lie often. It is rather apparent that, up to now, you didn't have any real clue. Why else would you bring up the fact that I 'killed' some of your followers, if no followers had been killed? It seems like a rather odd thing to do, doesn't it? After all, I had not brought it up, until I had to use it as evidence. You put your name on it because, again, you are a bad liar. You assumed that by putting your name on it, everyone would assume that it was someone else because you would never be stupid enough to put your name on it. As I said, it is fairly obviously you."

A ghost bone bolt? A ghost bone? I'd be very interested to see the results.
"Souls actually make for rather poor fuel sources because they combust far too quickly. They are, however, great for making explosive devices with the average soul having an average kill radius of about 11 metres.

I directly ask the governments of the Gruen and Armu capitals if they consider Grauel and Fusil to be their respective heads of state. If they are, that would make them theocracies.

The angel priest that would've gone to the Keshan Gruen capital will instead go to the Dwarven capital.

Quite sure many gods are protective over their followers and essence income. I don't particularly feel like having to worry about you trying to turn away loyal followers exclusively to your worship but I don't see much harm in some of my followers also paying respects to you if it doesn't hurt me. Regarding your targeting of the capital, I've had a few issues with attacks on my angels and I don't want to have potential security breaches where my archangel dwells. Regardless of your intentions it seems like an unnecessary risk to have agents of other gods near the Devourer's fortress.

"A couple of problems with that. Your archangel has already killed her several times and I assume she did so with her sword of permakilling yet the Lich still lives. Another problem is that I simply don't know where she is which prevents me from finding her, killing her, and eating her soul (even if she has one). If we kill her by proposal then she will definitely die in the way we want her to and there would be no way for her to escape or return, unlike Yaos who was permakilled by a non-Council entity."

"I would like to construct a defence on the three blood contracts I have created: oaths, marriages, and battle-sibling bonds."

Spoiler: Blood Contract Defence (click to show/hide)

"Oaths are meant only to be taken at the highest levels of responsibility. A vassal's oath of allegiance to his king and his king's oath of protection for the vassal, for example. Alternatively, a prisoner facing capital punishment might instead choose to take an oath to never break the law again and to instead do good by serving a higher purpose. Blood oaths aren't expressions of trust and loyalty - it's merely a tool to ensure it."

"Blood marriages are more like a trade than an expression of trust. Well, it's still a marriage so it's still an expression of trust but....you know what I mean.
"The first and second category provide tangible, subjective effects that the couple might want to take. It has nothing to do with trust, it's just two sets of life options that they may or may not want to take and incorporate into their regular marriage.
"I'll defend category-3 marriages in a bit but first I have to defend the Heavenly Plane reward. After a successful marriage, the couple gains access to the Heavenly Plane. That means that they get the option of going there instead of reincarnating or going to their favoured god's afterlife.
"First off, you two are entirely right that a category-3.1 marriage only serves to erode trust. I'll have to think about it and possibly remove it. However, agreeing to a category-3.2 marriage isn't necessarily an expression of distrust. If the couple wants access to the Human Plane but don't want the effects or to pay the price of the first two categories, they can just take the category-3.2 marriage which only annuls it if one partner is unfaithful. Since that's the most likely scenario in the case of an unfaithful partner anyway, the only reason a couple would take it is to get into Heaven."

"Battle-sibling blood bonds are, like marriages, a kind of trade where benefits are provided in exchange for simply partaking in the bond. Like oaths, though, it's also rather important and rather necessary. The worst thing for a soldier isn't to be cut down by an enemy - it's to be cut down by your supposed comrade-in-arms. If you go into battle without being entirely sure your comrade isn't going to turn on you you'll automatically be at a disadvantage. Life-and-death battles are serious business. In that case, trust shouldn't be given on what pretty much amounts to a gentleman's agreement."

Create single Nature Spirit to inhabit an isolated Slythan lake.
Propagate Nature Spirits by 700. 300 will go on Keshan, 300 on Slytha, and 100 on Muma.

Spoiler: Nature Spirits (click to show/hide)

Nature spirits are magical, semi-corporeal beings that live in natural features such as lakes, rivers, forests, and mountains. The larger the feature the more spirits it usually has and the older the feature the more powerful the spirits are. They are long-lived but still mortal. The older the feature the older the spirits will be before they die. As a spirit gets older it will get more powerful. Nature spirits are naturally good at nature magic and Soul magic. They are also good with any magic that relates to their natural feature.

When spirits procreate with other spirits, the child will be born as a 'blank' spirit (in terms of nature alignment rather than personality) which tend to freely wander between their parents' features before becoming an adult and leaving for a different feature altogether, so long as it's not at capacity. There they will settle into their new home and become aligned to it. Spirits only mate with spirits outside of their own feature (a forest spirit might mate with another forest spirit, but not if they're from the same forest).

If a spirit mates with a non-spirit, the child's race will be that of the non-spirit parent's but will be be naturals at nature magic, Soul magic, and any magic that relates to their spirit parent's natural feature.

If a feature has no nature spirits or is far below capacity, it will slowly give birth to more spirits on its own.

Spirits keep (relatively) close to or in their place of birth for their entire lives unless they are visiting family or are on an important task. Nature spirits tend to get along very well with each other. Their views on outsiders tends to vary individually from spirit to spirit and feature to feature - just like any other sapient being from any other sapient race - but tend to become violent to them only when attacked by them or after excessive damage to their home.

If a spirit's home is destroyed, it will wander around as a blank spirit until it settles in a new home and becomes aligned to it.

Tick 76: Tidal

All of the megabeasts have been struck down!

Night Elves previously demonstrating interest in assorted features of Soul or Blood magic have appeared in front of their homes with no memories of being visited by the angels or the few days before.

Malakath:
The ghost bone bolt could not be created because ghosts don't have bones. However, a perfectly healthy random dwarf proved to be sufficient.
"Bah! Lies! Everyone knows souls and coke don't explode! I MUST HAVE ROCK BLOCKS!"
"Does that mean you can make all the magma rush to the surface of the world in a grand display of Ultimate Bleeding?"

Most Gruen capitals seem to treat Grauel as a mostly uninvolved benevolent force. Quite a few of their leaders are followers of Grauel but have no history of receiving orders from Grauel. The Armu are only slightly less independent and typically treat Fusil as a powerful military advisor to consult where and when necessary.

The Dwarven capital receives the message of blood quite well. Some rowdy revelers have dumped assorted barrels of blood into the water supply. Most of them probably did not come from sophonts.

The dust ring seems to have become more alive and dusty.

Malakath has created 701 Nature Spirits, of which 300 are sent to each of Keshan and Slytha and 100 are sent to Muna. The last one has become aligned to the natural feature of lowercase-v void.

This update's constellations are the Human and Pentagram. The Keshan aurora are fairly bright.

I ask the Armu if they approve of their god's actions of banning me from spreading my religion to their cities for selfish reasons, especially since my religion offers to improve their lives so greatly and that I don't ask for exclusive worship or even primary worship. I would also ask them if they would hypothetically be ok with Fusil thinking of them as children who need to be babied rather than fully sapient, independent, and free-willed adult. Not that he does, of course. He's simply being benevolent and protective of a race who he created and loves and who loves him back. Nothing wrong with that.

Malakath has created 701 Nature Spirits, of which 300 are sent to each of Keshan and Slytha and 100 are sent to Muna. The last one has become aligned to the natural feature of lowercase-v void.

Actually, that "last" one was actually the one Nature Spirit that I created rather than propagated. I made it a lake spirit. Possibly female. Possibly the only spirit in that lake. Still, it's fantastic to know that Nature Spirits can exist in space!
I create one space spirit, one star spirit for the Keshan system, and one star spirit for the Slythan system. If it's not free, then I make as many star spirits as I can for 1 Essence.

"I would like to state again that I am selling information relating to Yaos for 1E each question. Where was his hiding all his Saeva from the Battle of the Boom? What is the weak point on a Humanos Grande? Exactly how many Armu children did he sacrifice to himself for Essence? All this and more. Pay for 3 questions and you get a bonus question answered, free! Also, I am willing to update his bestiary if I receive a one-time payment of 5 Essence as payment for doing so."

Kl'Tork:  The miracles seem to have attracted a great many followers.

Malakath: While people continue to take interest in your message again, those same people continue to reappear with no memory of the events. This is probably not good for their long-term mental health.

"You should check your formula because souls really don't explode. Else we'd get a lot more gold. I MUST HAVE CUT GEMS!"
"Is it truly evil to have all the surface-dwellers behold the glory of magma?"

The Armu are somewhat supportive because the angels are from a foreign source and they strongly distrust foreigners meddling in their lands for the security issues they raise. They mostly would probably not be OK with Fusil babying them, but in their experience, Fusil is not the sort to try this.

The space spirit in the Keshan system violently clashes with the existing space spirit until only one of them is left alive. It appears  they consider all of space to be a single thing to inhabit.

Are you sure you want to create beings tied to the well-being of the stars? (CoC §1: Potential megadeath+)

Quéßäre:
"What can we do to serve you?"
"Where have the High Elves gone?"
"I wish for the ability to bluff anyone and everyone."

Grauel: The Gruen seem to be doing fairly well. There is much interest in producing a library of sorts of which foods produce which effects both in progeny and in eaters.
"I wish to become a Lord of Hunger someday."
"When will you come down for another feast?"
"Is it true that the Devourer is made of wood?"

Ignore. Silly mortal. Telling the goddess of Souls what souls can and can't do.
"As with many things, it all depends on how. If your method ends up wiping out ecosystems or killing swathes of people then it would certainly be evil. If your method entails showing surface-dwellers the practical applications of magma then it would not be evil. I suggest you consult a Darruthian priest in the future whenever you're considering big morality questions such as these."

The space spirit in the Keshan system violently clashes with the existing space spirit until only one of them is left alive. It appears  they consider all of space to be a single thing to inhabit.

Neither aspect of this event makes sense. The first is that I've explicitly stated twice now that I made no space spirit. The 701st spirit was actually the first spirit and it was a lake spirit. Secondly, Spirits get along well with Spirits from outside their feature or even feature type. Spirits from the same feature are considered somewhere between roommates and family. Thirdly, the amount of Spirits that can inhabit a feature is determined by the size of the feature. Even a mere forest would have a few dozens Spirits, let alone the entirety of space. When a feature reaches capacity, it just means it won't give birth to any more Spirits on its own and that blank spirits won't move there of their own volition. It's not an issue that would end with violence or disputes.

I'm not sure what 'CoC §1' means but they certainly wouldn't be able to cause a megadeath. Even if a star reached capacity and they all focused on one spell, the worst they could do is cause a solar flare that would wreck all electronics on Keshan/Slytha or maybe just cause a heat wave for a day. Stars are extremely far away from their planets. Moreover, Spirits would have no reason to be violent unless the danger of their home being destroyed was very real and very immediate.

Quote

"Oaths are meant only to be taken at the highest levels of responsibility. A vassal's oath of allegiance to his king and his king's oath of protection for the vassal, for example. Alternatively, a prisoner facing capital punishment might instead choose to take an oath to never break the law again and to instead do good by serving a higher purpose. Blood oaths aren't expressions of trust and loyalty - it's merely a tool to ensure it."

"That is exactly the issue. What is a king, if he cannot inspire his own vassals to obey him without the threat of permanent death to a foreign God looming over them permanently? It is not something you would use one someone you should have trust with. You also fail to see the potential problems this causes. This is a tool for people who trust nobody. What if a Tyrant got a hold of this, and forced one upon everyone in his nation? Entire nations of innocents could be lost to you eating them for no reason. You seem to think that Oaths must be good, that is simply not the case. I do not care how serious they are meant to be, they breed only distrust, and steal souls away from other gods for your Lunch or your pathetic Afterlife."

Quote

"Blood marriages are more like a trade than an expression of trust. Well, it's still a marriage so it's still an expression of trust but....you know what I mean.

"Reducing marriage to a trade is not something I support. Would you prefer people 'married for heaven'? Marriage should not be something dangerous and unpleasant, or a trial to pass for your God. It should not be something that your partner has to be threatened to keep. And it should not be something that the other Gods have to be worried about you eating their soul with."

"Also, at this point, I should point out that this cost you no essence to make. If, for some reason, we actually liked your ideas, why would we not make our own? If we did so, we would receive the same alleged "benefits", without losing the souls of our followers to you. There is no reason to allow your oaths at all, really."

Quote

"The first and second category provide tangible, subjective effects that the couple might want to take. It has nothing to do with trust, it's just two sets of life options that they may or may not want to take and incorporate into their regular marriage.

"I am hardly going to memorize laws I am outlawing. If you are going to be so vague, can't you give a brief description of what you are defending?"

"I'll defend category-3 marriages in a bit but first I have to defend the Heavenly Plane reward. After a successful marriage, the couple gains access to the Heavenly Plane. That means that they get the option of going there instead of reincarnating or going to their favoured god's afterlife.

"Why would I allow that? They have a chance to go away forever? Either they will not use it, making it pointless, or they will and will be stolen away from me."

Quote

"First off, you two are entirely right that a category-3.1 marriage only serves to erode trust. I'll have to think about it and possibly remove it. However, agreeing to a category-3.2 marriage isn't necessarily an expression of distrust. If the couple wants access to the Human Plane but don't want the effects or to pay the price of the first two categories, they can just take the category-3.2 marriage which only annuls it if one partner is unfaithful. Since that's the most likely scenario in the case of an unfaithful partner anyway, the only reason a couple would take it is to get into Heaven."

"If the only reason someone would take this marriage is to go to your afterlife, having their souls taken away from me forever, why would I allow that in my cities? That is not a function I want."

Quote

"Battle-sibling blood bonds are, like marriages, a kind of trade where benefits are provided in exchange for simply partaking in the bond. Like oaths, though, it's also rather important and rather necessary. The worst thing for a soldier isn't to be cut down by an enemy - it's to be cut down by your supposed comrade-in-arms. If you go into battle without being entirely sure your comrade isn't going to turn on you you'll automatically be at a disadvantage. Life-and-death battles are serious business. In that case, trust shouldn't be given on what pretty much amounts to a gentleman's agreement."

"Trust is immensely important in military situations. If you cannot trust your fellow soldiers to not cut you down without a God eating their souls, you have already lost the battle. That is a simple truth. There is no time in history, from shield walls to guns, you need to trust your comrades. All this does is say 'I cannot trust you'. If you need it, then you already lose."

"Again, I stress, if it where the case that another god actually liked these arguments and bended to them, there is nothing stopping them from making their own sets with their own afterlife. Letting your particular laws in only lets you become more powerful, and devourer their souls, or steal them away in other ways."

Neron:
NUKE researcher: "We have finally discovered a sufficiently inexpensive method of producing stones that absorb the blasted heat, however slowly!"
Rani Traveler: "Why is there so much pink ice here?"
NUKE researcher: "We would like your advice on a certain undisclosed project."

Kl'Tork: You continue your ministry, spreading news about your ways.
(I think he said yes, but I'm not sure if I managed to post it anywhere.)

Malakath:
Correction: No space spirit exists at all at the moment. She was just a lake spirit, as it turns out.

Unoccupied space isn't nearly as complex as a tree now, is it? It counts as being much smaller than its size suggests to avoid people filling it up completely with immense quantities of something and ruining everything for everyone else (or at least inviting aggression and preventable permadeaths).

CoC §1: Code of Conduct section 1 (GINYF for the section sign, I admit). Solar flares aren't the concern; what may happen if a nature spirit inside a star dies? Humans at least seem to experience near-death experiences that often seem similar to the effects of hallucinogens, so what would happen if a bunch of them inadvertently use magic while dying?

Tick 77: The Spreadening

Kl'Tork's miracles seem to have attracted a number of followers. Few of them still serve only Kl'Tork. These are some prayers Kl'Tork has heard:
"The food at my restaurant suddenly turned into old shoes! Should I tell them it is an exotic aged steak from Gruen lands?"
"How can I best serve you, Kl'Tork?"
"I need a spice both sweet and bitter. Do you have any suggestions?"
Kl'Tork has promoted the Spork Inventor to be 9 feet tall, declared him a grand high prophet, given him the gift of universal translation, and tasked him with spreading satisfaction all over the world. Kl'Tork has also given the kobolds a writing system for the purpose of recording recipes.

Magically compile a list of foods and effects and give it to the high Gruen council with orders to share the knowledge with all Gruen and to add to the list as more food effects are discovered.

There can only ever be four Lords of Hunger at a time. Continue serving me faithfully and perhaps at some point you can become a Lord of Hunger if one of them is ever displaced.
Grant this Gruen longevity and some more power.

My feasts are quite large and use a lot of resources and food. I try not to have them so often that it would not leave my followers with enough food for themselves.

"Not me, technically. One of my Controller angels sent a spy to NUKE to see what you were doing there. It chose to do this independently and I have since told all my angels not to do anything that would antagonise other gods. Sorry for the incident."
Return the spy that was captured at ISAY.

On a completely unrelated note, WHO TOOK THE ORB? Specifically, the life orb that I created a very long time ago.

"Again, apologies. It seems some of the Nature Spirits I created decided it would be a nice gift to give to me for creating them."
Give Joha back her orb.

Bluff Buff: "Are there evil bluffs? I wish to be able to bluff anyone successfully."

"By "evil bluff," I mean a bluff that will unnecessarily hurt someone or do something bad. For example, I'm a peasant farmer in the Human Empire, or at least what remains of it. Someone tries to rob me, but I take out a knife and tell him I won't hurt him if he turns around and leaves. When he turns around, I stab him in the back. If you lie to safe yourself or someone else, that is good and will be permitted. I trust you, and so you shall recieve your request."

CoC §1: Code of Conduct section 1 (GINYF for the section sign, I admit). Solar flares aren't the concern; what may happen if a nature spirit inside a star dies? Humans at least seem to experience near-death experiences that often seem similar to the effects of hallucinogens, so what would happen if a bunch of them inadvertently use magic while dying?

(Ah. I think of it as Anath's Code of Conduct. What's GINYF? I'm actually not sure what would happen if they use magic while dying. Maybe throw an extra fireball or something?)

Malakath and Neron: Malakath gives Neron the spy captured at ISAY. Strangely enough, the spy does not actually belong to Neron.

Malakath and Joha: Malakath has given Joha the Life Orb.

"To all the gods, one of you is performing handstands right now while carrying a bumblebee beetween your teeth!"

Malakath:
(I guess specifying Anath's Code of Conduct or at least ACoC would have been much clearer. GINYF was derived from GIYF, standing for Google Is Your Friend in reference to a lack of searching for the answer to something independently. In this case, the section sign § is virtually unsearchable on Google and searchable on DDG, Yahoo, WP, and Bing, making it literally but not practically true.)

(Solar flares aren't terribly likely to cause extinction events, but keep in mind that these are creatures who have a high chance of being able to use magic naturally and are boosted in their selected homes' spheres (somewhat more literally in this case). It's just something to consider, I suppose.)

He promises rewards if this is done.

Seven angelic figures stand before the Council. Their names are Pat, Tom, Rita, Ben, Tria, Mil, and Cassie, and they explain that they are personifications of the Virtues of Patience, Temperance, Charity, Kindness, Diligence, Humility, and Chastity. They also explain that gods exhibiting their virtues will be rewarded.

"I request a reward for my efforts into observing the seven virtues. I have been working very hard since my birth to expand the world around me by introducing new races, magic, and ideas in the relatively short time I've been here, thus showing diligence. That I haven't fallen beneath ten Essence while doing so (I think) and that I still manage to have a high Essence count after it all shows that I am also temperate.
"I admit that I have not been as kind as I would have liked, especially concerning the Golems and the Gremlins. I thought I might be able to save them but in the end the most I could do was apologise. I still feel remorse for my vengeful actions.
"For charity, I have given mortals an exclusive and powerful gift that neither angels nor gods can ever attain, the natural world how has guardians that might defend it from ecological destruction without reliance on the gods, and I have given the Armu a powerful tool to enhance their magic despite not being allowed to spread my religion there.
"I do not know how patient I have been and the less said about humility the better.
"As for chastity, I have not spread my religion to other races unless their chosen gods have consented and my blood contracts enforce fidelity better than any other system before. Unlike some other gods, I do not hoard my followers and prevent them from worshipping other divine figures.
"For these reasons, I claim that I should receive the reward you offer."

Propagate Cherubim to 7,000

Work with a highly skilled/devoted group of Cosmic Seraphim mages and Cherubim Enchanters to create the first Sentinels; I don't want anyone burning out, so slow and steady is the key here. Then, help them and a larger group of Cherubim Enchanters, armorsmiths, and other mages, anyone who wishes to help and likes getting paid for it with a magical bodyguard/laborer, possibly multiple depending on how much of a contribution they/their company made, work to make several thousand Sentinels of varying sizes and shapes. ((Note: Because they are magical suits of armor, they will usually look like an animal of some sort, or rather a full suit of armor for said animal, possibly scaled up or scaled down, and sometimes like an insect because carapaces make easy 'molds' for armor

Work with Cim and some of the best Seraphim Cosmic/Divine Mages/Priests and whoever Cim wants to add to it to make the first Justiciars, being nine in number. Prophet-like powers and great strength and skill with both magic and arms, they are each bestowed with a unique power of their choosing(so long as it isn't stupid; toggle-able anti-magic tattoos are a yes, the ability to shoot bunnies from your hands is a no; it's also only partially magical in origin, so anti-magic won't usually completely negate it), and given suits of the first Faultless armor, which they can customize, both by mundane and magical means, to suit their purposes. They are to work independently of us, more or less, and so those selected for the process(out of volunteers/they have to agree) must be capable of independent thought, creative, driven, and able to dedicate their lives to spreading Goodness and Law. Together, those two concepts form Justice. Powers particularly include voice/persuasion/empathic powers, memorization/total-recall/speed-reading, and similar things that aid in being essentially traveling judges, law enforcers, adventurers, and protectors of the people. Powers also particularly include the ability to gain strength as time goes on, by making allies and overcoming the challenges that beset them, as well as magic powers(in case it wasn't clear: Think RPG-style. They gain experience, they level up. Whether by a thin stream of divine power that we strengthen by using feedback loops from their allies and the triumphant sensations of their emotional state and by draining the last remnants of life of their enemies when they die, or if it's just an internal thing inside of them that does much the same, still more or less the same result). They have the authority to gain companions of their own and to make decisions as they feel necessary, but they are independent; we cannot fund them. However, they do have a Phylactery, which will teleport them to it's location, wounds barely stabilized (enough for medical care/healing to help them get better, not so much that they're able to just go home and sleep it off) if they receive a mortal blow. The Phylactery is unique to the individual, but they are all more or less invincible and should be based in different, well-defended cities. They also cannot be stolen...
Anything to add, Cim?
Oh, and if you could cover around 3/4 of the Justicar's cost, that'd be great, since you have so much more Essence than me and all...eheheheh...Please?

Tick 78: Mustaches and Missions

The Light and Kli have been sealed, but Kli seems to have returned.

The gods believe that one of the gods is doing handstands with a live bumblebee stuck between Its teeth.

Grauel has compiled a magical list of foods and its effects and given it to the Gruen, who are examining and distributing it. Grauel has also granted longevity and increased power to a Gruen.

Quéßäre has created 1 000 High Elves and empowered the Bluff Buff with the ability to bluff anyone about anything. Cim opposes this action based on the fact that it may twist the universe to conform to the Bluff Buff's bluffs. Fusil supports the Buff. The Bluff Buff's ability is currently in a shadowy state of simultaneous existence and nonexistence.

There has been a series of incidents in which ISAY and NUKE report spy sightings. Neron and NUKE claim no responsibility for the spy at ISAY but refuse to release the spies at NUKE.

It appears that a group of mischievous Nature Spirits may have given Malakath the Life Orb. Malakath has graciously returned it to Joha.

The Mountwyrms are currently exploring the world aboard large, improved ships. They have found what appear to be two mostly uninhabited continents. The Gem Dragons have increased in number quite a bit but have slowed down compensatorily as of late. The Dwarves continue to dig around and explore the vast cave systems and Burrower tunnels.

A cultist of Apathy has embarked on a quest to draw a mustache on a statue of Cim but ultimately returned before finishing the quest after getting bored on the way.

Malakath:
"Temperate, says the god of Blood!? I think Fusil makes for a nice Patient one, then?"
"Bah. Enough of this nonsense. They try too hard and forget how simple goodwill helps."
"I'm considering you."
"Maybe I am too. But another is more charitable than you and cares nothing about rewards."
"Do you even realize how long it takes for us to get enough Essence for a decent reward without angering the other gods? Maybe you should work on keeping us non-hypocritical, uncorrupted, and alive, hm?"
"Fidelity should not be chastity. You of all goddesses should know this, tee hee."
"We will hand out some more substantial rewards in the next few ticks at a random time. Be on your best behavior until then."

Old shoes have become a sudden favorite at the restaurant of the confused chef. They are often known as "Shosoohr Viyay" and very few know of its secret ingredient.
"I shall try to satisfy others, then."
"Sugared lemons. Hmmm. They actually fit quite well!"

Kl'Tork has prototyped the Ogres, a race of tall, somewhat dull sophonts to help the Kobolds.

Joha has visited a spectacular fungal garden larger than any before. The Ikan have given Joha a Void detection device. Khaziraad has lent her a glass spider.

After some tests, NUKE scientists think the pink snow is a result of some sort of plant growing on and in the snow.

Kli:
"We shall!"
"But surely corruption balances its absence?"
"We will examine it further."

Darruth has propagated the Cherubim to 7 000. With the help of some Seraphim mages and Cherubim enchanters, Darruth has begun the creation of several thousand Sentinels.

Cim and Darruth have created nine Justiciars mostly without the aid of mortals (who would probably easily burn out). They have yet to be further detailed, but they are currently resistant to the known effects of Void corruption among many other traits.

(How unlucky it will be if 75.01 dies from insufficient voting!)

This update's constellations are the Rose and Claw.

Melyssa creates her first race: the Flagellants. Flagellants are long and slender humanoids which always cover up their face, usually by either wearing a veil or mask. They gain power when they hurt themselves, and to a lesser extent others. They prefer to do this with a whip, but if no whip is available, they will hurt themselves with other weapons or tools, or even their own hands.

I'll understand if you want to keep them but I'd like the spy I gave to you to be returned, please."

Malakath sets the blood moon as a skyfeature on both planets that occurs once every season. The blood moon, also known as the harvest moon or other names differing from region-to-region and person-to-person, is a naturally occurring phenomenon that already happens about two to four times a year. This just makes it a bit more orderly and regular (you're welcome, Cim) but besides that it's totally mundane and is of no significance whatsoever.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on December 28, 2014, 06:49:10 am

"Temperate, says the god of Blood!? I think Fusil makes for a nice Patient one, then?"

"How does my sphere prevent me from being temperate? Wait, do you think that I'm the type of blood god that appreciates their followers making a gory mess of themselves? I'd be offended if you did. As for Fusil, patient is not a word I would use to describe him. Perhaps us other gods might be considered patient for putting up with him?" The Lord Lecta smiles at her little joke.

The Lord Malakath announces to the people of Keshan:
"This is a message to the people who both walk the path of evil and consort with the Void. By the time of [the next Tick], you must either give up evil or give up the Void, preferably both. Children need not fear."

Proper weapon safety is important to me, and it is possible that such heresy would take away from proper worship. Or, to the bigger problem, it is quite frankly disturbing that you created mortals just to do harm to themselves. If this race shows to be a problem, I will have to eliminate it.

A large building complex within Golem/Gremlin lands. Within it, there are all structures a scientist could need. Auditoriums for saying speeches, labs for experiements and some plots of open land in case of extra large experiements. Within it, there is an enchanted district of houses. Enchantment builds a new house for evryone curently residing within FoS acording to traditional architecture of person's native land. A being known as Keeper waches over FoS. It is fuctionaly and visualy identical to Keeper of Divine library. Keeper of FoS directs the enchantment of housing district, watches over those residing in the Forum, guards Forum from spies and Void influence and directs any messages from residents to me.

Any person of any race is allowed in Forum of Science if it has two recomendations from those allready allowed within FoS. This particular rule will take efect ten years after FoS creation. Until then, all are alowed within. One can be banned from FoS by agreement of at least five other members of FoS. This ban can be removed by agreement of FoS members greater in number than those who issued the ban. Anyone banned has three days to vacate the premises before Keeper throws them out.

"Ever since the dawn of magic, I had a slight fear that I would be loosing followers to the offensive spells. Initially, I had sought to solve this by having magic require weapons. As you all held that down, I had to find another way. Seeing as the young god seemed to have created a new magic rather simply, it should be trivial for an elder god like me. So I will attempt to make my own magic, one that will be considered a weapon by its user.

Thaumetallurgy.The ability to work metal miracles. Thaumetallugarists (Nicknames will no doubt be given for this craft) are capable of controlling metalwork as if it was their own body. The intent is, of course, more combat oriented than other magics. A swordsman should be able to thrash his sword like a whip, or smack his palm against his enemy's armor, causing spikes to form inwardly. Its use will not be strictly limited to combat, a man could potentially craft a horse or other beast out of metal and ride it about as if it was living, for example. More practically, practitioners should be able to improve their smithing skills, perfecting the metal with their magics. It could potentially be used to replace lost limbs or even more complicated body parts like lungs or even a brain, if the user could manage prolonged spell use without burning out. I think I have outlined enough to get an idea of what it is, without limiting it too much. Is there any necessary steps to make this happen?"

Tick 79: Gambit pileup

Melyssa has prototyped the Flagellants, a race of long, slender humanoids who gain power through self-damage.

Malakath has noted the blood moons on both planets as mundane lunar events occurring once per season.

"You are a goddess of Blood. Unless you expel or produce blood or are a detached goddess, you probably drink it. Immoderately."

An immense but immaterial Void projection, spherical in shape and covered with expanding and bursting glowing bubbles, has appeared two days after Malakath's proclamation to those on Keshan (and strangely enough, not on Slytha).

"The Llluminants have this message for you, Shadowed One:

'do not touch our children  innocent they are and more precious are they to us than a mullltitude of gods  for every one of ours you harm one of yours we will harm proportionallly past present or future'

I willl be here for this tick to mediate between you and the Llluminants. May you be blessed with the Eye of the Bridgemaker."

(It would cost however much the pact-maker chooses, but they tend to evade containment/storage...)

Kl'Tork has responded to the strange text and has received a large ice block filled with flash-frozen maggots labeled "FROON MEEROOM WIITH LOOVE." Upon closer inspection, various mis-spellings of "MEROM" and "NERON" are inked on all the maggots.

Kli:
"That is interesting and not very reassuring."

"What was that strange announcement about evil and Void?"
"Are there any truly evil? How meaningless anything is when the wise are simply reborn on a similar world!"
"The School of Balance here has expanded to the non-balanced arts. What may we do about this?"

Khaziraad has opened up the Forum of Science in Golem/Gremlin lands to serve as a massive research complex. Its utility as neutral ground is immediately obvious to NUKE and ISAY researchers who hear of it.

Khaziraad has also made all major roads similar to Roman roads in construction and enchanted with supreme durability.

Malakath has allowed for those joining ISAY to be paid.

Fusil has laid out a new branch of magic known as thaumetallurgy based around the control of metal.

The Virtues have left, probably to spread their aligned virtues back in the mortal realm so as to accumulate enough Essence for a perceptible reward.

A massive plague has broken out among the Gruen and has killed off an unexpectedly massive number of them. The highest authorities have passed a plan to reduce population growth and exotic feedings until the cause of the plague can be determined.

This update's constellations are the Dagger and Sword.

Fusil has laid out a new branch of magic known as thaumetallurgy based around the control of metal.

"Thaumetallurgy already existed as Elemental metal magic for the most part. The one difference I can see is that by adding in Universal magic - rarely used except as a general bonus, so I must applaud you - to tie in what appears to be Soul, Enchantment, Ritual, and Divine magic to more easily manipulate non-combat applications of metal magic. Still, the practical applications of metal magic seem to have expanded by quite a bit by such a relatively small theoretical addition. A+"

A massive plague has broken out among the Gruen and has killed off an unexpectedly massive number of them. The highest authorities have passed a plan to reduce population growth and exotic feedings until the cause of the plague can be determined.

"This is getting annoying. Based on the pattern I'm seeing, it seems like someone's against the idea of gods having favoured races. First Yaos, then Kl'Tork, and now Grauel. If I were a god of Greed, I'd probably bet to see who the next race would be."
I send all of my angel priests to help manage the Gruen plague.

Propose we remove the concept of disease from the Bubble.

I make an offer to the people of Keshan, Slytha, and Muma - with exceptions to the Armu, Seppo, Gruen, Golems, Gremlins, and any immortal races - that if they want to have their life span tripled they can opt to become blood-drinkers after explaining what becoming a blood-drinker would entail. I will allow for a maximum of 100 on each planet and 50 on Muma to become blood-drinkers. The ones who are most devoted to me while simultaneously not being stupid will be chosen. Evil people are exempted from the selection.

Spoiler: Blood-Drinkers (click to show/hide)

The blood-drinker trait grants whoever has it with a tripled life span. They live by drinking blood and have two methods of reproduction: sexual and infection. Infection happens when a Blood-Drinker drinks enough blood of someone who they love and who loves them back. (The amount of blood that needs to be imbibed is several times over the amount needed to kill them, so a long relationship is required to allow for recovery phases.) Any food or drink besides blood or water is toxic to them. Toxic in the same way that alcoholic drinks are toxic to Humans. Basically, they feel something similar to drunkenness simply by eating/drinking anything that's not blood or water.

So learn abaut them, their goals and their means. Then, cut down the problem at it's roots. Right now, we have no idea how to deal with the overall Void influence problem. Beides, if we manage to get a faction of Void to fight another faction, their power will deplete and their presence here will decrease.

"Their goals, their "means", and whatever else is not important. We cannot deal with the overall Void problem by inviting more Void in! If they fight in our bubble, our bubble will be completely ravaged. It will not matter if both sides are weakened if we are destroyed as a result. Their goals are irrelevant, and even then they mean the destruction of our bubble for their purposes. So long as we can at least drive them out, we will not have to worry about them."

"I opposed it because, as the council is now, it will mean that every proposal will pass eventually. So long as the proposer continues to propose it, eventually it will be over looked. Then it will pass. It makes things far too easy, why change what is happening now? People vote on what they are interested in. There have simply not been enough interesting proposals for the Gods to be interested in voting."

Additionally, I'd like to bring something to the council's attention.

Whatever killed the megabeasts took the bodies, as well, though I know not who. I may be able to determine it with some effort, though.
Void Activity has massively increased, even amongst those previously associated with it.

Combined with all the Void things showing up in the Council Chambers...well, I can't say I'm not suspicious.

Spend 2 Essence; Find Palatino. If I'm opposed, spend another to figure out who's opposing me, because that would make them either the culprit or Fusil/Quéßäre intentionally fucking with me.

((At this point? I could care less. It's difficult to oppose someone doing something specifically if you oppose them, because it's like stepping on a trip wire farther down one side. It still causes the trap to go off.))

While I could continue to argue about your idea of everyone being puppets and the hypocrisy of you being insulted by things yet feeling free to do the same to quite literally everyone else, we both know what the other would say, and we both know what the other one thinks about it.

So let's move on to the part where I, for once, agree with you. Regardless of whether the Void has Good applications, such a massive summoning ceremony is certainly neither Good nor safe for either God or mortal. A concentration of Good such as that...Well, I suppose now is a good a time as any.

Create the Arkanjel Viminal, the Angel of Confession. Purification powers, particularly of magical influences, whether they be Void, Divine, Mortal, or Other, and of Evil, mind-reading abilities, Cleansing abilities, and of course debuffs, particularly those related to morale, guilt, and shame. Also, powerful healing abilities. Possibly other powers in a PM if I feel up to it.

Oh yeah, he should be rather protected from Void influences, possibly as a byproduct of the method he cleans it away. AKA I don't want him dying instantly because the Void doesn't like my getting uppity.

((For comparison, if previous Void-cleaning abilities/angels have been brooms and mops, this guy is an industrial grade combination vacuum/steam-cleaner with customizable lye-pressure-washer attachment and cupholders))

Honestly, Fusil, I have no idea what you will or will not consider an insult. From where I stand, it seems entirely arbitrary. So I don't really bother with trying to avoid it anymore; at least as far as I am aware, an accusation, observation, or statement is only insulting if it is intentional, close to home, and said by an equal. Which is why I don't feel insulted when a Mortal or Angel(I'm referring to Yaos' angels right now, by the way, though you probably knew that) is 'insulting'. In any case, that's certainly a relief. There is a certain proposed law(in the 'laws of physics' sense of the word) named after a mortal, whose name I cannot remember, but it goes along the lines of 'the parody of an extremist position is indistinguishable from an actual extremist position.' So I couldn't be entirely sure.

Quote

"And what do you hope to do with this Janitor, clean the corpses of the fallen as the summoned demon prances its way across our world? We need a much more concrete effort."

It is a start, which seems to be more than you are currently doing at the very least(and before you grow inordinately offended, keep in mind that it is true for the moment and all you must do to rectify that is begin something of your own that I can see, for obviously if you did it in secret I wouldn't know you'd done it. *sighs*), and moreover, we both know how long the Council takes in order to take action. That said, I might as well begin the proposal in the hopes that maybe they'll miraculously do something inside of a tick. Can't harm anything, at least...

And again, I must ask; if you insult others so freely, why do you expect them to do anything else to you? Contempt breeds resentment, not obedience.

Propose we deal with the Summoning and/or other new Void Activity in a way that keeps the influence from spreading

Which is why I don't feel insulted when a Mortal or Angel(I'm referring to Yaos' angels right now, by the way, though you probably knew that) is 'insulting'. In any case, that's certainly a relief. There is a certain proposed law(in the 'laws of physics' sense of the word) named after a mortal, whose name I cannot remember, but it goes along the lines of 'the parody of an extremist position is indistinguishable from an actual extremist position.' So I couldn't be entirely sure.

"Speaking of arbitrary, you seem to arbitrarily make up meanings to words. Has anyone ever used the term "insult" in the way you choose to, yet alone what you seem to think "Goodness" is. And yet, you claim I am the arrogant one as you state how more important you are compared to Angels and Mortals, setting yourself so far above them that their insults don't touch your ears? The rest of your sentence must have come from some form of head trauma, as I cannot make it out rationally what you are attempting to say."

Quote

It is a start, which seems to be more than you are currently doing at the very least(and before you grow inordinately offended, keep in mind that it is true for the moment and all you must do to rectify that is begin something of your own that I can see, for obviously if you did it in secret I wouldn't know you'd done it. *sighs*), and moreover, we both know how long the Council takes in order to take action. That said, I might as well begin the proposal in the hopes that maybe they'll miraculously do something inside of a tick. Can't harm anything, at least...

"More than I am currently doing? In case you haven't noticed, I have already figure out what is going on, and I did that publicly. Considering that small but vital step is at least ten times what you are currently doing, which amounts to nothing. Do you think before you speak? Do you think at all? Perhaps you really are a puppet, seeing how hollow your head is. The Council isn't necessary, we are Gods. They are an assembly of Mortals. If we act quickly we can get this finished before the Void gets their roots deeper."

Quote

And again, I must ask; if you insult others so freely, why do you expect them to do anything else to you? Contempt breeds resentment, not obedience.

"Seeing as you seem to insult me just as freely, couldn't I ask you the same?"

If we do not give them power, or we defeat the Gods who do, then they are harmless to us. If we stop the summoning, the Null who is being summoned cannot touch us. If we can remove the corruption that has already been brought in by you and the other God's foolishness, then continue to ignore the Void, we will have won.

To the mortals:
Do you want to play a game with me? A game, for Immortality? All you need to do is make a sacrifice.
If a mortal wishes to gamble with me, they can make a sacrifice. The sacrifice will sink into the ground and open a portal to my plane. Then they can walk through and play some games with me.
If they win, they can drink from the font of souls (A gigantic skull filled with the energy of the dead) and gain a much longer life span. If they lose, the font will take the time they gambled and their body will be turned to dust to feed The Lunagee.
They can gamble with their own lifespan and the life that their sacrifice(s) would have had.

Also create a set of talking skulls in each of my temples that will tell a mortal how, where or when they will die when sacrificed to, but each mortal can only know one.

"Find it hard to believe who would be that dumb, exactly? Our bubble has shown how untrue that is, if you mean the Gods. How many Gods have made these secret deals for power, not even understanding the end goal of the being at the other end of the deal? You yourself talk to one quite frequently, pretending like nobody else can hear you. We know of multiple deals that have been made, at least a fourth of the Gods had played into their hands. If you mean the Luminants, they do not care for the bubble in reality and will do whatever it takes to meet their goal.

As for their goals, I have an idea of what the Luminants want. Some records have shown this, I found them in my last trek to the library. I will gladly share a copy if necessary. (OOC, they are some of the minimalist versions. Can't copy/paste it here, but you can ask KJP to confirm I guess.) Their goal is, as you know, to track down the Umbral Hadal-tier. As you may not know, they are trapped in orbit. In order to get out, they need to use a bubble as a kind of spring board. That is their end goal, why they mettle in our bubble, and how they will destroy us if we are not careful.'

"I see that you have already put some thought into this, haven't you? Have they really gotten you so convinced that even knowing the truth in what happens will not show you the error of your ways? That is a lie. The Null that told you that is lying so he may escape his own orbit. The cost of that would be our bubble and our lives. Look into the records and you can see I am telling the truth. If it was possible before, then why would the Luminants let all the other bubbles be destroyed? They where also their allies. I will make this clear, it is impossible to accomplish their goals without harming us. If you attempt to continue with this, I will have to stop you by any means necessary. Even if it was somehow possible, and the Luminants knew this, it would simply mean they are psychopaths who are not worth dealing with. Why should we talk with them? All it does is give them more power and more influence over you. If we ignore them completely, they can not do anything in our bubble. Or more importantly, too it.

"No, I hadn't. My thesis is, we shouldn't be too hasty. Noting that you have got to the point of casting baseless accusations, I have considered your plans enough. I will continue to fight on my own front. This conversation is over."

"No. No. Don't. I have many records of entire bubbles being devastated by that. The bubbles where completely destroyed when the Null forced them to move, if we do not remain stationary to the Null baycenter all of creation will be destroyed. Likely including us."

"There's more than one way to skin a Void being. We don't have to move the Bubble from place to place - expanding the Bubble should allow it to become dynamic without having it swept away. Of course, just expanding it would make it weaker due to stretching and entropy won't be counteracted, thus, we'll have to actually add either some energy or mass to accompany the expansion so the Bubble can become dynamic but it doesn't get weaker and thus more vulnerable to the Churn, whatever that is. Of course, I don't know all that much about Void dynamics so if my idea doesn't work I'd like to know how."

Of course, seeing as this has touched so many races, it is likely that someone has already asked her the question we need to know. I will just have to find that person, and ask them.

Tykki, could you make a quick run planetside and see if any mortal used their question to the Oracle to find the cause of the diseases? I assume some mortal has asked this question at least once. We just need to find them."

Tick 80: The Fires of Participation

Kli:
"Perhaps if I can demonstrate enough evil, the cycle will break and my life will truly have meaning. What do you think of this?"
"We have opened a new section, but those of the un-balanced subjects mock us as wasting time in discussions and writing."

Unknown Void Image 0:
"If they break mortalll lllaws, the mortallls willl punish them, but their innocence to the Interdicted will always remain. I am to be replllaced at this point by Fycasnsefutycyfhn'elnnaa who willl persist to the end of the next tick."

The image of the sphere has faded and been replaced by an image of a swarm consisting of amorphous blobs shifting in shape and position and frequently colliding, shattering, and reforming. A distorted, echoey voice speaks:

"greeetingss  have you anything to submit before the luminant council"

Malakath has authorized payment for those already in ISAY, sparking the invention of tenures and funding fights.

Malakath has sent angel priests to help manage the Gruen plague. It seems to have almost stopped in its spread after the passing of the growth plans, but there are still many wounded.

(Removing concept of disease from the Bubble: Does having [your least favorite god] in the Bubble count as a disease? :P)

Malakath has offered the gift of blood-drinkerism to 100 on each of Keshan and Slytha and 50 on Muma. Regrettably, it seems that the mean evilness of the volunteers is significantly higher than the mean evilness of the general population on the Darruthian Holiness Scale (DHS) even after removing the outliers. Some volunteers and followers of the Twenty-Six (all the gods, even the dead) seem to be of above-average devotion while not being too evil...

An Ogre has Eaten the Maggots. The Ogre has become very sick!

None of the maggots remaining seem to be alive.

The Kitchen Elementals and priests cannot reach the Council meta-location.

The Bluff Buff drops Fusil's note, takes the metaphorical microphone, and yells "Fusil wears a funny hat!" All the gods believe Fusil to be wearing a funny hat.

Kl'Tork has announced his love of pie to the world. Many of his followers have begun experimenting with improving pies.

Malakath's top three outside the mentioned: Hard to say

Keshan dust ring: It may have some effect, but it does clean rather slowly.

The Ice Titan and Frozen Guard cannot reach the Council meta-location.

Palatino seems to have dissipated completely and can no longer be found. (The cause of this has yet to be found.)

(Darruth: The purification component will increase the price by an estimated 10-12E. Are you sure you wish to contine?)

Atropos has introduced a game to the mortals revolving around the font of souls, a feature of Atropos' plane, to gamble with their lifespans.

Atropos:
"We offer up this holy one, rendered by flame to dust once more."
"Is it true that I can play cards with you if I die?"
"What is the way of dust?"

In response to Malakath's order, the Divine Library's guardians refuse to block access to mortals, backed by Atropos and Fusil.

Tykki: "I shall go at once, Sir."

Tykki has begun running around on Keshan to locate a mortal who has asked about the cause of the diseases. This will likely take a very long time.

Oracle
Q: "What God caused the diseases that wiped out 1/4 of several races?"
A: "None of them caused the diseases that wiped out a quarter of three races."

This update's constellations are the Shield and Eye.

Regrettably, it seems that the mean evilness of the volunteers is significantly higher than the mean evilness of the general population on the Darruthian Holiness Scale (DHS) even after removing the outliers. Some volunteers and followers of the Twenty-Six (all the gods, even the dead) seem to be of above-average devotion while not being too evil...

So of the many millions of mortals that exist - including the 20 million mortal mermaids - not even 100 neutral/good people are interested in tripling their life span? I think I might not have been clear with my filtering of choice. Stupid people and evil people are exempt. That's correct. However, devoted people simply take priority. Those who are less than "devoted" to me are still eligible. Does this fill up the 150 quota?

Abstain everything EXCEPT 79.04.1 and 79.05.

Ah, not quite. While certainly one reincarnates the majority of the time if my afterlife is the stepping stone, those who have achieved the highest principles of Goodness are invited and allowed to stay, to assist in spreading Goodness from within and achieving a sense of peace and accomplishment. More or less, anyway. It's difficult to describe the Spirit Legion with any more accuracy than that, as everyone within it are individuals.

Although your siphoning away of souls in this manner is...less than appreciated, Malakath. Unless you are willing to increase the number of souls naturally formed so that the natural growth rate of the population combined with your removal of souls from the reincarnation economy does not result in a metaphysical bankruptcy?

"Alternatively, you can worship me, be good enough to be classified as good - you don't have to be the goodest of the good - and you can stay as long as you want without any further conditions. Moreover, "Spirit Legion" implies that he'll expect you to fight which is not the case in the Heaven Plane."

"Ah yes, I forgot about that. Now that my wonderful proposal has passed, I can actually do this."

Propose that instead of using the soul-spawning system as the backbone to population growth, souls will instead naturally form on their own. This proposal will only apply to the races we have created and only where the beings are created via birth (so things like Shinjo and Golems don't grow souls on their own. This'll also make sure that things like chairs don't begin developing souls.) This system is simply supposed to replace the soul-spawn system. Things that are born will still be born with reincarnated souls. This system simply allows for the taking of as many of those reincarnated souls as possible without affecting population numbers or growth. (They'll instead be affected in the ways that they are IRL.)

Also, I propose something of a compromise, though Fusil doesn't believe in compromise and as such will probably oppose this.

Proposal A: Proposals that pass have essence put into them by both Gods who supported it and Gods who abstained. The share of essence contributed is as follows: 2 shares from each Supporting God, one share from each Abstaining God, and zero shares from each Opposing God. In this way, there will be motivation to vote on an issue one way or another; Supporting counters opposition so it can pass, while Abstaining makes it more likely to pass, but you must assist at least somewhat. I foresee this causing people to want to Abstain so they don't have to put in more essence, but the difference will be miniscule, and if everyone is being made to work together, the discount could be great enough as to not have to spend much, if anything, to accomplish it.

Proposal B: In order for a Proposal to pass, it must be Supported by at least 2(3?) Gods other than the God that put it forward. In this way, one cannot pass a proposal simply because people forget about it. Opposition does not count into this total, and does not counter-act Support; if 3 Gods support something and 2 Gods oppose, it passes, just as if all five Gods supported it. The only difference is the distribution of the Essence responsibility, if any.

Oppose Proposals only needing the support of one additional God.

That kinda ruins the point of it, since I'm trying to prevent short small team-ups from doing the sneaky bastard thing and passing them under the nose of the council.

The primary point of Proposal A is make Council motions actually worth a damn. As it is now, it's just the gods who support it working together as they would anything else. All making it into a proposal does is give others an opportunity to reject it. If a motion passing meant the entire Council would work together to get it done, however...And yes, it would lead to people opposing votes. That's the point. If you only want to do it with 2 or 3 gods, just do it and be done. Don't bother the council with it.

Perhaps the time before any proposal is resolved should be three ticks rather than two. Anyone else think so?

Additionally, I propose that any proposal that doesn't pass due to more opposition than support cannot be re-proposed for 10 ticks.

Support, Abstain.

Quote from: Andres on December 30, 2014, 06:28:59 pm

Propose the above but make it a 4 Ticks thing.

Propose destroying all Void things that AREN'T texts, just in case the other gods continue to oppose the proposal to deprive the mortals of Void summoning manuals.

Support, Abstain.

Quote from: Rolepgeek on December 30, 2014, 08:20:51 pm

Proposal A: Proposals that pass have essence put into them by both Gods who supported it and Gods who abstained.

Proposal B: In order for a Proposal to pass, it must be Supported by at least 2(3?) Gods other than the God that put it forward.

Oppose, Support.

Quote from: Andres on December 30, 2014, 09:49:45 pm

Propose that proposals need to be supported by at least 1 other god.

Support.

Quote from: Stirk on December 30, 2014, 10:31:24 pm

"You reap what you sew. I do not see the need to increase the amount of pointless proposals as everyone else seems to. Look, we already got the Blood God to make half a dozen pointless proposals, why do we need more? What is the purpose for increasing the amount of proposals?"

"Maybe to repair this oh-so-terrible situation that you complain about? Your complaints are valid, but see how our voter activity increased? Right now we need to reform this system to a more sustainable one, and blame yourself if you don't participate and something that you don't like comes to passing. Too bad you haven't much clout beyond threatening to murder anyone opposing you, at least in my eyes."

"As I said before, I do not see the reason why increasing the amount of votes passing around is a good thing. If anything, it is needless paper work. Before, if someone particularly liked or hated something, they would vote on it. If they where apathetic about it, then they could let it die. Now they are forced into petty action, either wasting essence on supporting something or being forced into eternal vigilance, having to shoot down bad proposals every two ticks before it manages to pass. We gained nothing from changing the law, and it looks like we will loose a lot."

Quote

The primary point of Proposal A is make Council motions actually worth a damn. As it is now, it's just the gods who support it working together as they would anything else. All making it into a proposal does is give others an opportunity to reject it. If a motion passing meant the entire Council would work together to get it done, however...And yes, it would lead to people opposing votes. That's the point. If you only want to do it with 2 or 3 gods, just do it and be done. Don't bother the council with it.

"I don't want Council motions to be "actually worth a damn", and do no see why anyone would. I prefer it toothless and out of the way. This is a problem inherent in the new voting system, it would be better just to go back to the old one."

Quote from: Rolepgeek on December 30, 2014, 08:20:51 pm

Also, I propose something of a compromise, though Fusil doesn't believe in compromise and as such will probably oppose this.

Proposal A: Proposals that pass have essence put into them by both Gods who supported it and Gods who abstained. The share of essence contributed is as follows: 2 shares from each Supporting God, one share from each Abstaining God, and zero shares from each Opposing God. In this way, there will be motivation to vote on an issue one way or another; Supporting counters opposition so it can pass, while Abstaining makes it more likely to pass, but you must assist at least somewhat. I foresee this causing people to want to Abstain so they don't have to put in more essence, but the difference will be miniscule, and if everyone is being made to work together, the discount could be great enough as to not have to spend much, if anything, to accomplish it.

Proposal B: In order for a Proposal to pass, it must be Supported by at least 2(3?) Gods other than the God that put it forward. In this way, one cannot pass a proposal simply because people forget about it. Opposition does not count into this total, and does not counter-act Support; if 3 Gods support something and 2 Gods oppose, it passes, just as if all five Gods supported it. The only difference is the distribution of the Essence responsibility, if any.

"Support."

Tick 80: The Ice of Stalemates

(Atropos and Fusil were, but it wasn't worded clearly. The intention was to convey that with Atropos and Fusil's assistance, the Library's proprietors refused Malakath's instruction.)

Azem:
"I wish to have a hoard of shinies, just like a Gem Dragon!"
"Behold our grand launcher-of-carts-of-gold-on-rails! With every shot and enemy crushed, it honors you!"
"My visions show a war may be coming, Golden One."

Melyssa:
"Why is our torture not working? We already have the Thick Chair and the Bitter Bean Tea and are shouting!"
"Look what I can do to my shoulders!"
"What are those strange short fleshy creatures?"

Atropos:
Holy one: An old priest who died while sleeping one day
"Can I play cards now?"
"The bell shall toll again tonight."

Malakath and Kli:
"I think I shall try being evil, then. Thank you for your discussion."

The evil person proceeds to pound and kick a neighbor's door in the middle of the night. Fortuitously, there was an unnoticed fire inside which the neighbors slept through until the knocking roused the entire family. The family thanks the evil person greatly.

Most mortals who do want to triple their lifespan would rather use "natural" methods. Interestingly, many of them mention that a certain other god would probably subvert the tripling by adding the time seconds before death or something similarly awful. Malakath has reached the quota for Keshan and Slytha, but the Mumans, Gruen, and Armu on Muma leave something to be desired. For the Mumans, old age is seen as a luxury reserved for those wealthy enough to avoid mine duty.

The Sick Ogre seems to have severe pain throughout the abdominal area.

(Tykki is probably still searching. The Oracle response is fresh and was published anonymously by someone else.)

Cim and Fusil have managed to silence and disrupt the Void projection previously present. It emits only a rushing sound and looks a lot like one of Varee's forms.

The Virtues may be coming soon.

This update's constellations are the Lance and Lady. Solar activity is anomalously high for Slytha's sun.

How about this: the more you age, the faster you do (once adulthood is reached). That way, they get to enjoy the best part of their lives as much as they can while they suffer the worst parts for as little as possible.
What quota?
Obviously, this is just another case of the entrenched bourgeoisie oppressing and exploiting the working class proletariat. This calls for a revolution! I officially abolish mining in that area and allow the common man to try their old masters in whatever way they see fit.

Quote from: Stirk on December 29, 2014, 04:58:32 am

"I do not care what you create, if it is based off my design or no."

Well alrighty then.

I create the Soul Item - a manifestation of a branched soul. These Soul Items come in two flavours - Soul Weapons and Soul Protectors.

Spoiler: Soul Weapons (click to show/hide)

After a person becomes proficient in the use of a weapon or several weapons, his soul will branch out and create a new soul. This soul will remain attached to the person and will be tightly bound to it through its life and its death. The person will manifest this soul as the weapon that they can be the most skilled with (determined by a combination of fate, genes, and other what-nots) regardless of whatever weapon they've become proficient with.

The weapons that these Weapons can manifest as are unique in appearance to any other weapon (small cosmetic stuff like colour, engravings, and small variations in shape, usually). The only thing they are limited by is technology level and this is where it gets a bit interesting.

If a person can be most skilled with a musket but muskets haven't been invented yet, then the Weapon will turn into the weapon its user can be second most skilled in. This could be something similar in size and application like a crossbow or it could be entirely different like a spear. Once muskets become invented, though, the Weapon will take the form of the musket and remain that way forever. If the technology for the invention of muskets is there but they just haven't been invented, the user will begin having visions and dreams related to it. Weakly at first but as time goes on these visions become stronger and stronger and are meant to compel the user to invent the weapon themselves. Usually, though, the weapon would simply be invented before the user's visions become clear enough to adapt to real life.

There are a few differences between Shinjo and Soul Weapons. The easiest way to differentiate the two is to imagine the Shinjo as seeds that a person makes grow by caring for them until they have matured into trees. A Soul Weapon is like a tree whose trunk has split into two parts that tightly twirl around each other. While Shinjo are basically Human souls, Soul Weapons have their own unique souls. Finally, Soul Weapons are sexless, can only manifest as weapons, do not form any kind of romantic attraction, and do not reproduce.

When a user has no need for the Soul Weapon, it can simply unmanifest it and it'll be absorbed back into the user's body. The user can freely manifest and unmanifest its Soul Weapon at will.

In some cases, the weapon a user can be most skilled at isn't a singular weapon but rather dual weapons or possibly even tri weapons, quad weapons, or more! (Depends from race to race and person to person. For a Human, it's usually dual at most but for an Armu that number would probably be higher.) In such a case, the Soul Weapon will branch into more souls, all just as sapient as the last. The number of Soul Weapons attached to a user cannot be higher than the amount of Weapons his best weapon requires. The variation of how powerful these dual weapons are is just as high as those for singular weapons.

While the raw power of a Soul Weapon is dependent on the user's devotion to Fusil, the refined power and the ability to communicate with the Weapon increases based on devotion to Malakath as these two attributes are dependent on soul-soul connection rather than weapon-user connection. Thus, devotion to Fusil will increase a weapon's sharpness or projectile velocity or whatnot while devotion to Malakath allows for greater weapon handling, aiming, and the possibility of communication with the Weapon. In the latter case, its entirely possible that the Weapon could end up training its user on how best to use it. Devotion to either or both of these entities - as well as the user's dependence on weapons in general - covers the cost of creation of these beings.

Soul Weapons are always mundane and can only be mundane.

Spoiler: Soul Protectors (click to show/hide)

To balance it out (YOU'RE WELCOME, KLI), Soul Protectors are made as well with similar rules but devotion is based on Malakath and Darruth rather than Malakath and Fusil and that relies on the user being proficient on defensive things like shields and armour. These beings instead take the form of armour and shields. instead of dual-wielding, the Protector can instead manifest freely as a shield (or two) and/or armour. That's right - AND/OR. It can simultaneously be armour and a connected shield. Thus, these beings are always singular. There is never more than one Soul Protector per user.

Unlike Soul Weapons, Soul Protectors are not forced to adhere to the "best" they could possibly be. They can change material composition (bronze, iron, kevlar, etc.), structural composition (plate, scale, chain, etc.), and coverage.

Technology is still an issue. If kevlar hasn't been invented yet or smiths don't know how to make good plate armour, the Protector will not be able to access these materials and types of armour. Other than the rules covered in the above paragraph, technology rules function the same as Soul Weapons.

Each Protector is unique and is thus cosmetically unique. This is reflected in preferred style, colour, and engraving.

Devotion to Darruth increases the maximum amount of area the Protector can cover (never more than 100% protection to the user), the strength of the material (material type still matters, though), and the weight of the Protector's manifestation(s). Devotion to Darruth increases the speed at which the armour changes in terms of both material and structural composition, and the ability to move in the armour with more devotion meaning less hindrance, as well as the usual communication between Soul Protector and user.

Soul Protectors are always mundane and can only be mundane.

(I'm rather sleepy so if there are any design flaws just let me know and I'll correct them.)

Okay, good. Burning of dead is encouraged, as is feeding The Lunagee.

If you want!
Open a portal to my realm near that worshiper.

80.02.4: As above but for 4 ticks (2-0/14) [IMMINENT PASS] Support
+2 from Malakath, Cim
0 from 13 others

80.05.3: Proposals require seconding by three other gods to pass (2-0/14) Abstain I don't care as long as it's at least two others.

80.05.1: Proposals require seconding by one other god to pass (3-2/14) [IMMINENT PASS] Oppose Definitely more than one other god.

80.06: Resolve proposals at tick n+3 at the earliest (2-0/14) [IMMINENT PASS] Abstain I don't care but it seems redundant if at least two other gods are necessary to pass something.

Propose that the strength of a proposal is directly linked to the ratio of supporters vs opposers and the amount of essence invested by supporters. I dislike that a proposal that barely passes should be as effective as a proposal with strong support and I also want the people who propose and support things to really be invested in the proposals. Proposals should not just be a method of sneaking in what you want in a way that affects everyone or an easy manner of spending less essence. It should be a way for gods with ideas they really believe in to try and garner support from everyone to improve things and the effectiveness of this should be directly linked to how much they and others are willing to invest and support the idea.

Oppose. "Recent proposals should curb the "sneaking in" of proposals well enough. Having this proposal would only serve to further weaken the gods. With the Council, even a small group of gods can effectively fight against the Void in some respect. Without it, even their powers combined can be easily vetoed. If other gods don't want these proposals to pass, then they have merely to oppose them. (This argument relies on some of the anti-exploit proposals being passed.) At some point, it's not other gods "sneaking in" proposals, it's just you (you in general) being lazy."

I tell all sapients about Soul Items and to seek a Malakathian priest for advice on how best to connect with their Item.

I send one of my angel priests to Muma to facilitate glorious revolution, one angel priest to each Dwarven and Night Elf capital on both worlds, one to each Raksha capital, one to to each Star Dragon capital(they live close to Night Elves, right?), and one to each Merperson capital. I create four more angel priests and send them to the Human and Wood Elf capitals. I created the Nature Spirits so maybe the Wood Elves will like me more? They're both into the protection of nature, after all, and I designed the Nature Spirits to be not-assholes.

Butterfly effect:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A struggling author is hit with inspiration. He will write some short stories about a small but cunning boy and his big and endearing friend who go on many adventures throughout the land helping people and thwarting bad guys. He will then go to a Gem Dragon to have it published and the Gem Dragon will agree so long as a few things are edited such as spelling and punctuation errors. The author enthusiastically agrees and goes home.

A month later, he buys one of the newly-released books and takes it home to read. He is distraught to find that most of his work has been butchered. There's still a small child with a big friend but the small child is a little girl in a funny hat with a huge Napoleon complex who gets very irritable all the time. Her modus operandi is to tell her unfortunately obese friend beat anything or anyone that bothers her with a stick. They still go on adventures but any help they give to people on the way is entirely accidental.

A few weeks later and we see the author has developed an alcohol problem and is chronically depressed. In the end, he's poor, he's written almost nothing worthwhile to his name, and the one thing he took pride in was mutated into something completely unrecognisable. In the end, he thinks it's just best to end it all and hope the next life holds something better. As he's about to hang himself, he hears the door knock. "Wouldn't want to be rude, I suppose," he thinks as he climbs down and opens the door. At his doorstep is a well-dressed man and what looks to be a bodyguard next to him. The well-dressed man holds a bag in each hand. "What's this?" asks the author. "Royalties from your book, sir." The author takes the bags and bids them farewell and closes the door. Once sitting on the stool he was about to kick away, he opens the bags to see what's inside.

Years later, we see him in a big house with a nice-looking spouse and even a butler. As it turns out, the book was a massive success. Children love it because they find the characters hilarious and even adults like it for its obvious parody of Fusil and Tykki, though there is some debate over whether it's a parody or an adaptation. His consecutive books have also been big successes and he's found himself enough money to retire and live comfortably for the rest of his life. "Life can't get any better than this."

(I'd like the above to be free because of the butterfly effect but I'm willing to spend Essence on it if I have to.)

I start energy-blasting the Spooky City. "Anyone interested in helping?"

Propose that I gain the official Council title of Arbiter of Magic. Basically, while gods are free to define and argue about how magic works as much as they want, it'll be my job to mediate these and standardise them and I will ultimately have final say over these things. It will also be my job to classify and categorise new magic systems (what attunements they fall under, for example) to make them easier for gods and mortals (and the GM) to understand and work with. (This is going off of the GM's earlier request for gods to start making themselves chairmen of certain stuff like security and skyfeatures.)

You do realise the problem there, right? My last proposal that said how my Arbiter power can be kept in check only makes sense when combined with my first proposal defining what an arbiter does. Also, if I were to make A, B, C, and D on their own, I'd start getting complaints about making too many proposals or making so many proposals that other gods can't oppose in time, leading them to auto-oppose anything I propose.

How abaut NO. Documenting and cataloguing magic? Go ahead, knock yourself out. Having ability to veto and/or change any new magic gods come up with? Why, come here and help me work out some "Fist-to-face" magic quirks. I need a face for testing and yours would be just fine. We havent ever needed such moderation, why would we need it now?

How abaut you don't do that. Dust ring enchantments are gradualy erasing whatever remnants of Void influence are in there, and energy blasts, while being real good for spreading Void influence around, are real crap when it comes to destroying it.

You want to throw a huge chunk of Void infestation into the sun. A thing that constantly spits out photons on evrything we have created. After finding out that energy blasts do fuck all when it comes to destroying Void influence. Do you see a flaw in this plan yet?

As for bombing to kill void monsters, I take my words back. That is actualy a good idea. It will give me a chance to find out if they respawn/spawn from void energies that infest the city.

Create 500 angels identical in form and power to my original five.
Improve my five original angels.
Asign each improved angel 100 lesser angels to command as they will.
Send One of the originals and it's fleet to bomb city with whatever they come up with.

Grauel, we have been on good terms in the past, I believe, and so I will not demand anything. I will ask if you could please...compensate...myself and the others who lost archangels after the Pointless War, as I believe you- Actually, wait a second. While it might have been you on accident with that ash eating thing...in trying to confirm by checking Essence reports around the time...

Quéßäre...you went down an essence from tick 56 to tick 57. Why was that? I can find no record of you spending essence during that time.

That makes me curious, though I find it doubtful I would be able to learn the truth, should you wish to prevent me.

That said...Grauel, I would ask you if you could please try to do something to make up for permanently killing our archangels. I apologize for being forced to suspect you in this manner, but I cannot see who else would have done it, and I do not believe you did it on purpose. But purposefully or not...as an analogy, one does not simply say 'it was an accident' if, while dancing, you punch someone in the face. One apologizes and tries to make up for it. Or if you eat someone's dog without realizing it...

"My Faith-full follower you have served me well, Now you may serve me better."

KI'Tork grants the Immortal Kobold 10 times the Durability,Strength, Intelligence,And Agility of an average Human,Along with being able to regenerate and shut pain on and off at will, He also gives the Kobold the ability to read minds and preform miracles, Such as walking on water, Smiting a Bandit and so on, KI'Tork also gives the Kobold the ability to speak directly to him every turn if he wishes. Wherever the Immortal Kobold goes crops will grow faster,animals will become fatter, and if he wills it he will be able to temporarily satisfy even a Gruen. KI'Tork makes the Immortal Kobold feel guilt whenever he stays in one place and doesn't attempt to convert followers. He gives The Immortal the ability to warp back and forth between worlds.

"That would be my job, actually. As arbiter, I would have no more control over it than anyone else. All I would do is create as clear and concise understanding of its various branches and applications as possible."

Example if I was arbiter:
Fusil: "I just created thaumetallurgy. This is what it does: [stuff]."
Malakath (as arbiter): Based on that description, I'd say it's a combination of Universal and Elemental magic.

"That would be the extent of my job."

"That is unnecessary, and as I said before, you do not understand magic well enough to do that. Do you understand what half the magic does? As far as you know, thaumetallurgy could be an offshoot of cosmic or enchantment, or its own branch altogether. Once gain, you do not understand magic as well as you think you do. Did you even know it was powered by cooking?"

Tick 82: Conciliary Fixation

Azem:
"Visions of devastation and abominations and those who take lives."

The evil person has gone on to knock down a random person, stomping and beating mercilessly. In another contrived twist of failed evil, the person being beaten was a hired murderer come to collect a debt.

There is a massive revolution on Muma! The Armu and Seppo are delighted to supply weapons to all participants while staying mostly uninvolved. The Gruen stay out of it. Many Mumans die needlessly in the fighting, and some on both sides have turned to Malakath for blood-drinker-ism.

(Quota: I'm not sure how to describe it better. Perhaps request? It's like you've received at least 100% of what you came for. In any case, with the newer redefinition of the blood-drinker plan, there is enough support.)

Malakath has created the Soul Weapons and Soul Protectors and informed the sapients of them. However, this does not actually reach all of them because of logistical and diplomatic issues.

Kl'Tork has given the Ogre a pile of ground willow bark and stomach medicine. The Ogre seems to have improved a bit overall.

Melyssa has constructed a large city of emerald and copper for the Flagellants.

Melyssa:
"But that would be mean! Maybe we could make the cushions on the Thick Chair thicker instead?"
"Thank you!"
"Little fleshy almost hairless two-legged creatures that die when they try opening our doors."

Atropos:
The worshipper has entered the portal and is waiting with a deck of cards.

Malakath has sent angel priests to Muma (as seen above). Additionally, she has sent angel priests to tour the Dwarven and Night Elf capitals on both worlds, Raksha capitals, Merperson capitals, Human capitals, and Wood Elf capitals. The ones visiting the Night Elves have been arrested by shadowy figures and pray that they are in a cell near a chamber with a starry roof. The Wood Elves receive the visiting angel priests fairly warmly and comment that the Nature Spirits make fine workers for the more magically intensive laboratory work. The merpeople in general are rather apathetic but maintain standard diplomatic hospitality, as do the Humans. The Dwarves are divided in their opinions, and a rather vocal faction sees Malakath as the malevolent aspect of their true god of Blood. The general populace of the Raksha seethe at having to quarter the agents of any god at all.

A series of books apparently parodying Fusil and Tykki have been released and are well received even in Armu lands. Unsurprisingly, a devoted Armu has produced a more sympathetic parody of Fusil and Tykki closer to the author of the first series' initial vision.

(Malakath: Now is a good time to start running! :P)

Malakath has begun energy-blasting the Spooky City.

(Dragons in general don't tend to aggregate enough to form cities or even villages.)

Khaziraad has created 500 angels identical in form and power to the original five angels. The five original ones have been improved and assigned 100 of the new angels to command. One of the originals has begun bombing the city along with Malakath.

Malakath has flown into the Keshan sun. It burns!

The Merfolk seem to be quite successful. They have integrated themselves with the other marine races and the land-dweller trade network. In doing so, they have managed to import industrial quantities of metal while still maintaining a net export balance.

Kl'Tork has granted the Immortal Kobold a massive boost and an obligation to spread the word of Kl'Tork. His resistance to pain cannot banish the emotional pain he feels with being unable to do what he enjoyed before.

Quéßäre has instructed that all statues of him contain an engraving of the word "sclup."

A temporal shudder passes through the Bubble.

This update's constellations are the Hammer and Gravestone. Solar activity is extremely high for Slytha's sun. The (mundane) Slythan aurora can be seen halfway to the equator (45$\degree$)

(Malakath: -4E, Melyssa: -4E, Khaziraad: -6E, Kl'Tork: -3E)

"...Tykki, hit Malakath with a stick."

As the children who grew up reading the books,well, grow up and realize the parody it is meant to be, the Author will release a gritty reboot of the series where the two fight off armies of stone men, Malakath's blood drinkers, and Void things. The now-grown children, in a combination of feeling kinship for their childhood heroes and fervor for the new books, will be nudged favorably toward Fusil.

Hmm....do I want to support the side I started the revolution against or the side who has the most amount of people in its faction? I think I'll give the blood-drinker trait to the 50 most good, devoted-to-me, and not-stupid/insane Revolutionary Mumans. Also, I give the order for my angel to join the fight.

I grant the people who want to be blood drinkers the blood-drinker(sanguiphagia) trait, with the parameters as previously discussed.

Malakath has created the Soul Weapons and Soul Protectors and informed the sapients of them. However, this does not actually reach all of them because of logistical and diplomatic issues.

Luckily, I'm a god, and talking to every sapient has been confirmed to be a free action so I just tell everyone about Soul Items in a normal, balanced fashion.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 01, 2015, 10:26:01 pm

The ones visiting the Night Elves have been arrested by shadowy figures and pray that they are in a cell near a chamber with a starry roof.

This is troubling. Angel priests are supposed to be as powerful as Yaos' Controller angels who were reported to be less powerful than regular angels but more powerful than Paladins - elite, combat-enhanced, immortal Humans. Either these shadowy figures are really powerful or my angels are just playing along. In any case, I break them out, attempting not to kill anyone but doing so if I must and taking any spare (unoccupied) angel priests with me. (Are my angel priests praying that they're in a starry roof or is something else praying?)

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 01, 2015, 10:26:01 pm

I was actually supposed to go to the sun instead of blast the city since Khazo has that covered but since nothing bad happened I guess it's fine.

Luckily, I'm a god. I can just take the form of something that can withstand the sun's temperature or else just turn immaterial.

Support 79.05. Malakath wonders if the stick is enchanted against fire.

Veto. The author is retired and happy and wouldn't want to write any more books. Also, the Gem Dragon publisher wouldn't publish such a book because it's intelligent and knows it would likely ruin the franchise. If by some miracle it managed to pass (considering that I'm vetoing it), the children's parents would be horrified by the new violent content they've been tricked into buying for their children and will blame Fusil for it, seeing it as the obvious propaganda that it is.

EDIT: (Seems I lost this during post-creation.)

I'm more interested that they consider me the malevolent aspect of their "true god of Blood" than that they have such a god. I tell my angels to open up diplomatic information links to find out more about this god, why they find me malevolent, and to generally build a better relationship with the Dwarves.

Indeed. One of Yaos' regulars managed to easily beat ten Paladins who attacked it at once. However, even a mere Paladin is kind of OP when compared to a mortal, let alone something in between that and a full-on angel.

Not really. The Vindico didn't have much trouble against them, and they where fairly comparable to the mortal opponents during that war.

Not really. The Vindico didn't have much trouble against them, and they where fairly comparable to the mortal opponents during that war.

The Humanos Grande proved an effective match against a Vindico and the Controllers could kill them pretty easily.

One of them, maybe. An army could easily beat one of your weak Controller Angels, let alone a Paladin.

Can we be honest, here, rather than continuing to try and prove who has the largest electronic dick?

If we're talking about conscripted soldiers, a Paladin could probably fight a mob of them and come out on top, given sufficient space to keep from getting surrounded/trampled. If we're talking about professional soldiers, a Paladin would probably lose against half a dozen if they knew each other and were working together as a team. Wouldn't mean he wouldn't inflict casualties, though.

Also, Fusil, saying 'my angels killed them super easy' when they were buffed to all hell and back, with super-weapons, as well as their god being personally in the fray...it's a bit disingenuous, don't ya think?

Although, yes, an Angel should be able to mop the floor with Paladins regardless. Controller Angels might be weak, but that's weak for Angels. It's a different scale than what Paladins are on.

I still have no clue what the approximate power level of the Guardian Angels is.

Speaking of which, have they still not found new charges yet? HOP TO IT, LADS 'N LASSES

Not really. Conscripted soldiers with proper tactics could fairly easily beat a Paladin. Personally, I would have them use a rain of crossbow bolts, enough of them would pretty easily take down a paladin. They have the advantage at closer range due to their flamethrower, but something with longer reach gives the more numerous combatants a great advantage. The Paladins are a lot weaker than they got credit for.

Maybe I wasn't clear: When I say 'conscripted soldiers' I mean 'shitty equipment and poor discipline'; I'm thinking more of peasants with clubs than real militias. In addition, I was speaking of melee combat, because at a certain point you can just say 'Well I just have more crossbows/shields/catapults/walls/magic', which isn't really a fair analysis. If you make someone buffed up, they get buffed up. Period. Plus, if they've got magic armor/shield, who's to say ranged weapons will be able to work, really? Plus, I think they knew magic...

Oh, well, that just matches up with given data so far. One controller Angel beat 10 Paladins, after all.

A mere half-dozen? Unlikely. Aside from being combat-enhanced, these guys were chosen for being the best of the best. Even a mundane top-tier warrior might kill six professional soldiers in combat, though it is a bit unlikely. Now, adding in the fact that they're also combat-enhanced and are immortal - thus giving them a LOT more time to train and get experience - I'd say that the six pro soldiers stand no chance against even one. That's not even mentioning their top-tier, heavier than normal-people-can-wear armour. All of this is assuming it's a melee fight.

Incorrect. One regular angel can beat 10 Paladins. I didn't test how many a Controller could take.

EDIT: Actually, I did kind of test a Controller's capabilities. I wanted to see how a fresh Controller would go up against the ten Paladins who'd been training in anti-angel tactics for a while and were kinda pissed at how often they were getting killed by the regular angel who was training them. The Controller - being totally unprepared - was quickly killed.

Speak to the person who had been praying to Melyssa.

My child, do not listen to her. You are correct, that would be unnecessarily cruel. Besides which, torture is rarely successful in obtaining truth and honest confession; try to act as though you were their friend, instead. Find common ground. Establish a positive relationship between yourself and them. This has been found to achieve honesty and truthful confession far more often, though it both takes time and is not perfect, as nothing is.

Tick 83: Dissolve the Opposition?

Tykki has shot a blunt wooden bolt at Malakath, dealing no damage of consequence.

A different author has begun publishing a gritty reboot of the Fusil-Tykki series. It is too early to tell how successful it is.

The Wolf People have some connections with more developed civilization but mostly roam the vast wilds freely.

A massive explosion has leveled the Spooky City! 70 of the 100 new angels of Khaziraad have been killed. The total Void influence in the area seems not to have diminished significantly.

Angel of Khaziraad has been struck down! (x70)

(Sun burning: It was meant to be intransitive (~ the fire burns brightly, a fire burned in the fireplace, &c.) but I guess that interpretation aksi works and has the side-effect of being more amusing.))

Malakath has granted sanguinophagy to 50 revolutionary Mumans and the others who desired it.

The angels visiting the Night Elves may have been very powerful, fortunate with having diplomatically cooperative guests, or maybe a combination of both. Malakath has extracted them from their chamber. (The angels were indeed the ones praying) Those visiting the Raksha have been removed by Malakath.

Malakath has not found anything of interest on the surface of the Slythan sun (yet?).

The Dwarves seem to worship a blood god of some sort unknown to the real gods. This god's benevolent aspect seems to relate to victory and the spilling of enemy blood practically as an act of worship. The malevolent aspect seems to relate to creatures that thirst for blood and corrupt their lands, inviting destruction by outside threats. Some believe that the malevolent aspect may be closely tied to the Void itself.

[Name]: "I can gamble for a longer life? With these cards? And it's not cheating?"

Lunagee dust warriors have joined in the fighting on Muma. Friendly fire more than doubles.

(Darruth: Arkanjel: Do you still want to complete the creation, knowing of the expense of Void purification?)

Azem has read the recent books.

Khaziraad:
"Can you improve the sun? It's too hot everywhere."
"One Of Our Apprentices Has Created An Abomination Of A Golem Heart."
"Can Kyloth give me a personal waterfall?"

Malakath:
"What is the cheapest way to destroy a soul?"
"Look at my beautiful painting!"
"We have an order of three Blood oaths, all without a smiting clause."

Melyssa:
"Y-yes, Melyssa. I will remove the cushion from the Thick Chair and put nails into it. S-sorry Darruth and Cim. I f-fear my lord more."
The torturer has punched the subject in the nose.
"Because our doors are actual doors! Have you seen one of their so-called doors? They don't have any rocks or blades!"

The Immortal kobold has had the guilt effect removed and given a method of returning home. He is greatly Satisfied.

Kl'Tork has created many millions of kobolds everywhere and taught them well. He has also granted them switchable pain and regeneration

Kyloth has entered the DBP and kicked the current fighters out (literally).

Tykki: "As you wish, Sir."

Tykki has entered the DBP and been knocked out of the arena by Kyloth by accident. After starting again, the two fight for the better part of an hour before Tykki seems to kill Kyloth. Seconds later, Kyloth revives as the arena and knocks Tykki out.

Tykki: "Sir, I cannot help but think I may not be a suitable match."

Neron has increased the intelligence of all NUKE scientists. Merwen has taken the plants back, and they have been identified as algae.

Quéßäre has boosted the protection enchantment over Àrenne with 2E.

Cim seems to have a moustache stuck on which seems to disappear when looked at.

The Virtues seem to be rushing in their work.

Fusil has been silenced by Council action.

Atropos has been named Arbiter of Prophecy.

This update's constellations are the Staff and Phoenix. Solar activity is still extremely high for Slytha's sun. The (mundane) Slythan aurora can be seen more than halfway to the equator (40$\degree$)

Ask the angels what they have managed to find out abat the explosion that took out 70 of them.

Send a few glass spiders to observe the place where town used to be in case monsters (re)spawn.

"Can you improve the sun? It's too hot everywhere."
"One Of Our Apprentices Has Created An Abomination Of A Golem Heart."
"Can Kyloth give me a personal waterfall?"

"It is uncertain what caused it but it shall remain a secret not for long. If heat becomes truly unbearable I shall take measures to deal with it, though I would much preffer permanent solution."
"Elaborate, please."
"Kyloth has allready built one for you. River flows over a grassy meadow filled with flowers, it's shores are lined with amber and it's water is full of life. This river starts at a nearby mountain, with several waterfalls easily visible from the meadow, and one final waterfall as it leaves the meadow and runs off a scarp. Since it would take too much space in a city, it was placed some distance away. All you need to do is to find it."

Add Temperature fixation to five greater Angels. Send them to investigate the offending sun.

"Y-yes, Melyssa. I will remove the cushion from the Thick Chair and put nails into it. S-sorry Darruth and Cim. I f-fear my lord more."

"I am proud of you. Your loyalty shall be rewarded."

Melyssa creates Azxar, a great, indistructible scimitar. Its hilt is made out of copper, while its blade is made out of sharpened emerald.

Melyssa gives Azxar to the torturer, which turns him into Azxar, the First Archfiend. Archfiends are powerful semi-demonic humaniods. They are immune to pain and can not feel empathy. They live to serve Melyssa and have a mental connection with her, so that Melyssa knows what they think and they know what Melyssa wants. When an Archfiend dies, their soul leaves their body and latches onto their weapon. It will linger inside the weapon, which has the same name as the Archfiend itself, until it finds another suitable host. When a new host is found, the soul of the Archfiend will enter their body, making them an Archfiend too. They keep their own memory, but they will also recieve the memories of the Archfiends that possessed this weapon before them.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 03, 2015, 07:32:21 am

The Dwarves seem to worship a blood god of some sort unknown to the real gods. This god's benevolent aspect seems to relate to victory and the spilling of enemy blood practically as an act of worship. The malevolent aspect seems to relate to creatures that thirst for blood and corrupt their lands, inviting destruction by outside threats. Some believe that the malevolent aspect may be closely tied to the Void itself.

Their prophet was rather correct in knowing of the coming of the Blood God and the creation of the blood-drinkers but was obviously in the midst of being subtly manipulated by the Void, corrupting its vision. Just the spilling of blood is not considered an act of worship. I only created blood-drinkers this Tick, they're the same as normal people, and are not any more corrupting than a non-blood-drinking member of their race. I am certainly NOT tied to the Void.
Fact was mixed with falsehood in an attempt to stray these people from the true path, yet they are a strong-willed people and thus favoured for their unwavering devotion despite the foul attempts of the Void to lead them astray. Let there be held a grand party to commemorate the day of the coming of the Blood God!

I would like to focus mostly on places in which the owners are known to (or heavily suspected to) cheat their customers, and eliminate that advantage. I would further like to temporarily bless and curse people, respectively poorer and richer/cheating people, within these gambling halls, to last until they leave. At random.

The Wolf People have some connections with more developed civilization but mostly roam the vast wilds freely.

I send a message to the Wolf People through their minds.
Message:"Hello my creations. You know me as the God of Deception, but I shan't deceive you, for such a deception is cruel and not permitted. It is good to see that you do well. I have a proposition for you. I will give you steel tools, axes, picks, shovels, and hoes so that you may grow your civilization. I ask that you make a church for me. The better the church is, the greater I shall reward you. I shall guide you to the place where this church must be built, at which my prophet will wait and preach my teachings. Rewards go to those who have faith in me, for to have faith in a God of Deception is an admirable feat."
Distributes the tools, and uses mental communication to draw the Wolf People to the church site, along with the waiting prophet.
Message to my prophet there: "Hello my Great Teacher. These are my teachings, the Quéßärean Code. I give them to guide mortals, and ask you to teach them. May they be interpreted for well.

Quéßärean Code:
Not all that is told must be truth.
Not all truths must be told.

Ah. Causing one to deceive themselves. I think, of them all, I like that one the most. My apologies for having offended you some time ago by calling you the Lord of Lies. Although, I believe all lies are deception, even if it is not true in reverse...what would you prefer as a title, then? Your name is rather...difficult...to pronounce...

Also, though you don't have to tell me and indeed I suspect you won't as that would possibly defeat the point of it, may I ask what deceptions are not permitted, according to your code?

Finally, on a somewhat different topic, does anyone know what becoming part of a Pantheon actually does?

Alright, so maybe not so finally, but I would ask Khaziraad, Azem, and Joha if they would be willing to assist me with some things. I feel that we've all been on more or less good terms for the time I've been around, even if Joha doesn't talk much.

"Don't be afraid to ask for my help. Talk is cheap."

Actually, I was trying to be polite...to be honest, I'm not entirely sure I should trust you. I know I can; I obviously have in the past, what with the Justiciars, but you're powerful enough, secretive enough, and either cunning or paranoid enough that I can see you putting backdoors into anything I helped you make that didn't benefit you in some way. Plus, I really have very little idea what your goals really are, and so while Khaziraad and Joha, for example, would be helpful to me, and have some interest in helping me, I would be forced to be somewhat more wary of you. My apologies for being so blunt. If I had some way to be sure...ensuring my creations are organized and able to cooperate is certainly beneficial, and something you might be able to help with, but I'm sorry, Cim. I don't mean to insult you; quite the opposite, really. If I had a way to be sure I could trust you, then I would gladly ask for your help, but to ask you to provide assurances when I'm the one asking for your aid? Well, it's a bit silly through and through, now isn't it?

Essentially, Khaziraad, I have several ideas and I think you'd be a great help with all of them, and have some interest in at least two of them. I'd like to make the cities of Good more defensible, in case of another stoNe meN incident, and would thus like to create a ring, or perhaps a geometric Grid, of protective Obelisks around them, possibly as part of a wall. I'd also like to create some floating cities, with skyscrapers that go both ways, and can travel. Floating Obelisks in a grid pattern surrounding the city could keep them safe from potentially catastrophic damage. As well, this could encourage trade, which might entice Azem to help, but mostly I wanted his assistance in seeing how I could improve the economies of my followers, and their standards of living. Finally, I wanted to try and make my followers cities alive, to a certain extent; responsive to the needs of it's occupants, and growing to accommodate them; to have a degree of sapience or sentience, even, possibly. It would certainly assist in organizing defenses and allowing government to run more smoothly, so long as it was kept in check...perhaps Cim's expertise would come in handy after all...Hmmm...anyway. Thus why I would ask for both your and Joha's help. I was also hoping Joha might be interesting in aiding me propagate my followers somewhat, though I feel that might be a bit far-fetched to hope for.

In return for aid, although these would all cost me Essence, of course, and so I might be unable to return the favor in that sense, I would be willing to aid you with projects that you feel my help would come in handy for, or owe you a favor.

Also, to those of you wishing to 'teach Fusil a lesson'; all delaying his speech will do is enrage him, and while he may bluster and boast, it is not unbacked by force, and if he is truly angry, he will grind you into dust unless stopped. The council may attempt to punish him afterwards or stop him mid-attempt, but that is no assurance, and punishment will not bring you back to life. Besides which, the very fact that it passed is a lesson in itself, that display how many gods are upset enough with him to wish to do so. Making it last several Ticks is worse than pointless; he will already be furious. I would personally rather not upset him further at this juncture; the last conflict I had with him resulted in the loss of my Arkanjel, and I have no wish to repeat that scenario, regardless of the cause.

Tick 84: Incubation of Discontent

81.02 has been rolled back. Atropos is no longer the Arbiter of Prophecy.

The angels have report having seen an orb of metal appearing and releasing a massive explosion near the center of the city. The glass spiders see no new monsters at the area where the town was.

Khaziraad:
"But it is not recent! It's been too hot for ages!"
"It Produces A Foul Rusty Liquid, Surely A Symbol Of Decline And Degradation."
"Awww."

Khaziraad has added some temperature fixation ability to the five greater Angels and sent them to investigate the Slythan sun, which continues to exhibit anomalously high activity.

Melyssa has created Azxar, a scimitar of copper and emerald with the ability to turn its wielder into Azxar, the First Archfiend. Additionally, Melyssa has prototyped the Archfiends, a race of semi-demonic humanoids immune to pain and lacking empathy completely.

Melyssa: "Maybe? What despicably soft creatures they are!"

Some of the Dwarves have arranged a feast for Malakath. It becomes clear that the spilling of enemy blood for the mysterious non-Malakath blood god is non-negotiable for many of them.

Malakath has eradicated the Establishment Mumans and sent as many as possible that believe to the Malakathite afterlife.

Malakath:
"Good to know, yess. Good to know..."
The painting is a wall mural of many of the gods with a faceless Malakath prominent and at the center. Upon closer inspection, it seems to have been painted using blood.
"Like it? I can make more if you like! Also, could you paint your own face in with your own blood?"
(That was never the intention, funnily enough.)
"Thank you. I think that will be all for today."

Fortuna has toured an impressive number of gambling halls, making the unfair ones fair and alternately blessing and cursing the patrons' outcomes temporarily. Fortuna's existence is now known to many of them, and the seeds of gambling superstitions have begun to sprout.

Kl'Tork has created a gigantic *Kitchen Colossus out of kitchen utensils and appliances with the ability to increase the capacity for kitchen spirits within 1000 miles/600 kilometers. Kl'Tork is now in the Citadel's Cathedral.

Atropos:
The cards seem to be legal, if a bit roughly worn probably from years of use. Do you fix them anyway?

Darruth has created the Arkanjel Viminal, Angel of Confession and potent purifier.

Quéßäre has given steel tools and promised great rewards to the Wolf People should they build a church of Quéßäre at a specified location. Work has begun on a church. The Great Teacher has been taught the Quéßärean Code.

(Now I half-regret suggesting changing it from Morgoth. :P)

The Light has been unsealed.

The Light:
"Our playwrights have stagnated in recent years."
"Can you teach us the Light That Makes Light That Makes Light?"
"The sky lights have been very bright lately. It is a beautiful sight."

Quéßäre:
"Why are not all deceptions permitted?"
"Are the lowborn truly blocked from infiltrating our city now?"
"What do you think of truthful people?"

30/70 of Khaziraad's dead angels have revived so far.

This update's constellations are the Crown and Ship. Solar activity continues to be extremely high for Slytha's sun. The (mundane) Slythan aurora can be seen more than halfway to the equator (40$\degree$)

Malakath has eradicated the Establishment Mumans and sent as many as possible that believe to the Malakathite afterlife.

Well, time to have my angel - whom I shall name Nelin - create a socio-economic system structured upon common ownership of the means of production and characterized by the absence of social classes, money, and the state; as well as a social, political, and economic ideology and movement that aims to establish this social order.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 04, 2015, 05:20:03 am

Some of the Dwarves have arranged a feast for Malakath. It becomes clear that the spilling of enemy blood for the mysterious non-Malakath blood god is non-negotiable for many of them.

The idea is that spilling blood - literally - isn't any more worship-worthy or -unworthy as killing an enemy in my name without the literal spilling of blood.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 04, 2015, 05:20:03 am

The painting is a wall mural of many of the gods with a faceless Malakath prominent and at the center. Upon closer inspection, it seems to have been painted using blood.
"Like it? I can make more if you like! Also, could you paint your own face in with your own blood?"
(That was never the intention, funnily enough.)
"Thank you. I think that will be all for today."

"This is incredible! The detail you have captured with a pigment admittedly as unoptimal as blood is truly remarkable! I will grant your request for this exemplary display of devotion." I paint in my own face (with the same style and quality as the rest of the mural, of course) with my blood. This will enchant the mural so it is not only indestructible except by destroying the wall, but it will also resonate positively with the souls of whoever takes proper time to behold it. During a blood moon and the day of the blood moon, the figures will become slightly animate (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiZO9DZbnZo#t=624).
(Actually was referencing an interaction I had with one of Azem's angels.)

I have my angels start cooling Vandiric churches in Slytha with Elemental magic. Those who worship Malakath or whose health is in danger from the heat (in a proper, non-trivial way) will be let in for free (this should prevent baby-deaths). Everyone else has to pay a fee. (Exceptions exist, of course. For example, if two parents want to be let in with their baby, only the baby and one of the parents is allowed in unless the other pays a fee or worships Malakath.)

Did I find anything in the Slythan sun this turn? Maybe sense any magical or chi influence?

"Before anyone asks as to how I lost so much Essence, I'll just say that I spent a little too much at the Oracle. I would also like to take this time to abscond Serac for not making it a Benevolent Genie-type oracle. Out of my four questions I only got one decent answer."

Send out 88 glass spiders to investigate whereabauts of this inventior for Void influence. Investigate the heart itself and the fluid it is excreting. "You were correct in bringing this to my attention. Inventior and the heart shall be evaluated and judged acordingly."

Darruth, your projects seem sound. Floating cities could probably be done without divine intervention with enough floatstone. Defenesive enchantments and inteligent cities can be done, though growing cities... I would agree to enchantment expanding to acomodate growth of a city, though I greatly preffer people building themselves rather than having houses sprout up from nowhere overnight.

The part about Void pacts being used for assorted mundane housework is true.

Propose that we make all sapients magic-capable. In the same way that life creates chi, sapience will create mana. Thus, it won't cost any more to create mortals than it already does. Of course, some non-sapients would continue to have magic but they'll be part of the exception, just as they've always been.

If I siphoned away full power, then yes, moon would likely turn into a plasma ball. But I'd be only siphoning away excess power, mere fraction, less than 1%, and only if it gets any worse. This way, it's less likely to vaporize and more likely to mabye, just mabye become warm enough to melt the core and create electromagnetic field to enable creating propper atmosphere easily.

Tick 85: Distilled Fear

Nelin, an angel of Malakath, has created a socio-economic system reminiscent of communism as intended.

The blood-interested Dwarves seem to think spilling blood literally is the highest form of worship and have begun to lose interest in Malakath, for better and for worse.

Malakath has painted in her own face with her own blood on a random blood mural and enchanted it to grant it indestrucibility, positive soul resonance of some kind, and slight animation on blood moons. Amathet has come to admire the blood mural.

Slythan Vandiric churches have become known for their relative coolness, and those who worship Malakath or are in danger from the heat will not be charged for entry.

The Slythan sun still seems to be overly active for unfathomable mundane reasons. Levels of magical or chi influence are insignificant.

Khaziraad:
#1: #1 is currently at a Rani inn on Keshan, where the sun is normal.
#2: 88 glass spiders have arrived to search for the inventor, who seems to have been deactivated and placed in a cell. They detect no significant Void influence. The heart seems to have a built-in pump and can theoretically pump liquids as dense as seawater, but it appears to have been designed to pump the rusty liquid infested with organics.

Khaziraad's recommendation to siphon excess heat to an uninhabited gas giant moon has been opposed and unopposed by Malakath, although the Slythan sun seems to have reached a plateau or peak in heat, preventing the automatic triggering of this command.

Melyssa:
"What is beauty?"
"Are you in league with Azem?"
"How can we improve our doors?"

Atropos:
"What will we play? 52-card pickup?"

Fortuna has toured gambling halls once again, cultivating superstitions like grain and removing the weedy ones. An increasingly common one is that mentioning the word "luck" or "Fortuna" causes Fortuna to disappear.

(I can work with most anything, I think. If it's too vague to resolve, I'll mention it. It's not necessary to make actions too detailed.

This is my first time GMing.)

Quéßäre:
"That makes sense."
"Surely you can see that those oafish visitors would make for a dangerous addition."
"How interesting.."

Quéßäre has created 1 000 Wolf-People. Quéßäre has also commissioned a shrine to Darruth in Ãrenne with "Sclup" engraved on it and bound the glowing crystals the Light gave to form an amulet and placed it on the statue in Àrenne.

Darruth has propagated the Seraphim and Ophanim to 1.5M, the Cherubim to 1M, and the Chiracyx to 500K.

50/70 of Khaziraad's dead angels have revived so far.

This update's constellations are the Dragon and Candle. Solar activity continues to be extremely high for Slytha's sun. The (mundane) Slythan aurora can be seen more than halfway to the equator (40$\degree$)

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 05, 2015, 03:54:01 am

Nelin, an angel of Malakath, has created a socio-economic system reminiscent of communism as intended.

Communism! That's what this totally new and original system of government shall be called!

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 05, 2015, 03:54:01 am

The blood-interested Dwarves seem to think spilling blood literally is the highest form of worship and have begun to lose interest in Malakath, for better and for worse.

Hmm.... Alright then. Blood-spilling shall officially be made the highest form of worship (for Dwarves) but only if it is between warriors or if it's a legitimate threat like a megabeast. Spilling the blood of civilians is so easy as to be rendered meaningless. Devotion must have meaning by definition.

To those Dwarven warriors that show so great devotion that they willingly engage in a fight they are likely to lose just to prove their devotion will be given access to a berserker state which doubles their strength, wipes away fear (giving a nice defence against Psymental attacks), and generally makes them badass. Once the berserker state is accessed, they can use it in whatever fight they want, though the large increase in power it gives means they will save it for opponents who they need the state to beat as it would be dishonourable to waste their gift on those already weak compared to them.

I tell them that as magma is blood of the earth (CANON), to use it is to draw strength from me, and to worship me is to gain greater power over it. If they agree to build me a grand temple and to allow for High Priests of Malakath to crown their royalty, I will share with them the secrets of magmamancy. (An entirely new and as of yet non-existent form of magic. It also covers the mundane properties of magma which should help with manipulating it both mundanely and alchemically.)

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 05, 2015, 03:54:01 am

Malakath has painted in her own face with her own blood on a random blood mural and enchanted it to grant it indestrucibility, positive soul resonance of some kind, and slight animation on blood moons.

(It basically makes people feel good down to the deepest level. Not the Mystic Snow kind of good, but rather a kind of Buddhist zen feel or something. Not drowsy or inactive - just at peace. It actually kind of makes them a bit active so they don't just stand around looking at the mural all day.)

Malakath (Souls, Blood): 10/22, 5-6

The palms on one of the hand tentacles outstretch, smashing into the face filled tentacle at the bestiary comment.  ::) ::) ::)

At the new proposal, an open hand tentacle puts a thumb between up and down, wiggling back and forth between them. A new tentacle forms, making a kind of hook. An open hand-filled tentacle strikes another hand filled tentacle, connecting like they are clapping. Then the hands separate, as if they where about to scoop up water.

Malakath takes a second to ponder the idea that there's "cover" in the deity meta-location and that a giant tentacle monster is using it. In the next second, she pulls out several shadow tentacles and prepares nuclear energy blasts in each one.

Two questions: why are people trying to kill each other, and why on earth are human girls singing about cheese in the council meta-location? In German, no less!
Although I can guess the answer to the first.

Also, support Fusil being unsilenced.

I propose we amend this rule that any proposal with the support of 80% of the other gods be passed immediately. In essence, this will have the same effect that you want, Joha, but at least we don't have a spare rule that can never be used. It's the principle of the matter, you see."

Fortuna

I will appear in the places in which the superstition that mentioning "luck" or "Fortuna" is most dearly held, and I'll appear in person at tables that are fully occupied by some influential (read: moneyed) folks, and materialise a chair from nowhere to join their game. I'll basically be heavily suggesting that I am the god of Luck, but anyone at the table who mentions either the word "luck" or "Fortuna" will have something unpleasant happen to them, such as a chair leg snapping or a short streak of losses. Should anyone require proof of my godliness, I'll ask one of them to flip a coin, and it lands on its side, no matter who does it, or how many times it is done.

Once they're convinced, I'll encourage them to build a temple to Fortuna - containing a gambling hall in each one - and subtly suggest that they should encourage everyone who wants to keep my favour to donate a small portion of their winnings to the temple. This money will then be used to fund public works and help those that are *ahem* down on their luck.

An in-built pump. Remarkable. Did you think this up to emulate heartbeat of organic races? Nevertheless, while blood is rather unneccecary for Golems, fuel can verry well be used to retain mobility in cold regions for extended ammounts of time. Though in-built pump is not strictly required for inner heating chamber, it certainly would make regulating heat so much easyer. I believe you have just created the foundation for Golem exploration within cold regions of the planet. Well done.

How about we start a Pantheon, Because none can be Satisfied in ignorance."

I Support this proposal, but oppose making all sapients magic capable. A significant number of these beings could band together to oppose our godhood! That's an unacceptable potential.

"They are indirectly opposing our godhood specifically BECAUSE they don't have magic! Besides, most will only be able to do mundane things that people are making Void packs for. Also, I'd like to remind you that we're gods. If it ever gets to the point where they challenge our godhood - a nigh-impossible feat - then we can simply pass a proposal to take their magic away."

"Yes, Yes, Yes."

KI'Tork creates a large blue sun that releases cold instead of heat, It is magically powered and it constantly has Vast Thunderstorms on its surface.

KI'Tork then creates a very long, very thick indestructible length of copper wiring that leads to the other side of Neron's Planet and hooks up to power a Giant Heat-Emitting Lightbulb. The Copper Wiring channels electricity from the Thunderstorms across the wiring to power the Lightbulb.

The Copper Wiring is large enough to be visible and constantly has multicolored lightning streaking across its surface at all times. Sort of like a more awesome variant of the Northern Lights.

"Alright now put the planet in between the Lightbulb and the Thunder Anti-Sun and set it up so that every 24 hours it shifts so that the side that was facing the Lightbulb would be facing the Anti-Sun and vice-versa. Also I propose that we put plenty of massive titans on the surface of the planet, But first what should we name the Anti-Sun and Lightbulb?"

My thanks, Azem.

So. As we seem to be working together often, and all find each other's company agreeable, what say you we attempt a go at this 'Pantheon' thing going around? We just suggest to our followers that the other members of our Pantheon are worthy of worship as well, and find ways to support each other when possible. It's little more than what's already been happening, save that we endorse each other amongst the mortals, but I don't think it can really hurt anything.

Anyway. Khaziraad, Azem, I think it would be best to work on one project at a time, to conserve our energies and ensure we all come to an agreement on what is to be done before following through. First, I believe the creation of protective Obelisks would be best, as such a precaution is best taken before other rather less necessary measures are taken.

Create the Protective Obelisks with the help(I think) of Khaziraad and Azem. If my followers and mages are able to help out without getting soulburnt, so much the better.

Also, the Minor Miracles thing to allow all my followers to do the minor, pragmatic stuff? That too, since it's cheap.

Abstain on 84.00; It could be good, it could be bad; I don't really like it as is, though. Sapience itself means if you make a statue sapient, even without a soul or conscience, it can use magic. No likey.

As for helping out with cold sun project. Creating proper sun is 20E, creating tiny sun and enchanting it to work like proper one is 10E. Since yours is cold, it will probably cost extra.

"Animals can use magic? That's news to me."

"Obviously not all animals and not even all types of animals. Occasionally, a powerful animal like a black dragon or a megabeast might have access to magic, and sometimes an animal with a strong soul or (relatively) high intelligence can have magic, like a warg. It wouldn't be traditional spell-casting as with normal magic - it would be more subtle and natural than that."

"Weren't all Megabeast struck down?"

Tick 86: Deposition of Distress

Fusil has been unsilenced. Despite some grave predictions about Fusil's next favored communication method (a shower of metal pellets), there have been no random shootings of significance.

The Dwarves have been permitted to practice Malakath-worship through the spilling of blood in military situations. They have also been granted access to a berserk state. Despite an offer of power over magma, they have invariably refused to allow High Priests of Malakath to crown their royalty.

(Malakath: +1E (not sure what happened). Darruth: +6E (wrong operation, most likely). This illustrates the importance of checking Essence totals.)

Kli has attempted to rebalance the Slythan sun with modest success.

Melyssa:
"But is there not a certain beauty in pain?"
"Emeralds. All the emeralds."
"My doors are not sharp enough! I must go!"

The Virtue angels still think they have not yet gained enough Essence to make a decent gift. Perhaps they will simply bestow their gifts within the next 3 ticks regardless of how much they manage to accumulate.

KI'Tork has gone around performing miracles to gain followers, but this seems to be growing steadily less successful.

Fortuna has reinforced some superstitions about his name in person and extended them beyond their existing scopes. Many have begun the construction of temples to Fortuna in the hopes of appeasing him.

Khaziraad has written and magically signed a letter of approval of the inventor of the golem heart with an inbuilt pump. The Golem smiths are less than amused but restore the inventor and begin testing various usable fuels.

Two of the Lords of Hunger are currently leading a campaign to remove an invasive, non-native species of bat from Human lands. One is currently making amusing patterns in fields by eating rings of the crops. Another one has gone far to the north and begun devouring ice.

KI'Tork has encouraged the co-worship of Melyssa among his more sadistic worshippers with some success and the co-worship of Neron especially among the followers partial to making cold desserts. Neron has reciprocated and encouraged the co-worship of Kl'Tork.

KI'Tork: Warning: Creating a large sun of the description provided will cost a remainder of 17-18E (after Khaziraad's donation), likely killing you. Would you like to continue?

Neron has created a massive planet of ice and snow enveloped by a perpetual snowstorm. It possesses an ice ring and contains Blue Fire, a potent healing agent and power source.

Darruth has initiated the construction of a floating city's Obelisk defnese network with Khaziraad and Azem's assistance and expanded the available range of Divine magic for Darruthians.

(Isn't GMan a bit of an unfortunate abbreviation rife with potential ambiguity? :P)

KI'Tork has attempted to read the notes using kitchen-vision. It seems there is a burnt pineapple somewhere.

60/70 of Khaziraad's dead angels have revived so far.

This update's constellations are the Dragon and Candle. Solar activity continues to be extremely high for Slytha's sun. The (mundane) Slythan aurora can be seen nearly halfway to the equator (55$\degree$)

(KI'Tork: -1E, Neron: -5E, KI'Tork: +5E, Neron: -17E, Darruth: -1E, Khaziraad: -1E, Azem: -1E, Khaziraad: -5E)

"Let me start off by saying IF YOU ABSOLUTE MORONS EVER TRY ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN I WILL BREAK YOUR EVERYTHING. I WILL CHOP YOU APART WITH A CONSTANT STREAM OF HOT LEAD AND TURN YOUR CORPSES INTO MY OWN PERSONAL SOLAR SYSTEM THAT I WILL PROCEED TO DESTROY IN NUCLEAR FIRE WHICH WILL BE THROWN OUT OF THE BUBBLE WITH MORE EXPLOSIVES THAN YOUR TINY MINDS CAN COMPREHEND! EVERYONE WHO VOTED YES TO IT IS NOW OFFICIALLY ON MY LIST! If anyone even jokes about silencing me again, Tykki is authorized to shoot. You MORONS even managed to do it in a time of crisis, when everyone knows I am the only one who knows how to handle them properly.

Now to the meat of the argument, before you make a mistake with the magic system. As I am apparently the only one to PICK UP A BOOK (Or, failing that, know what the word "Book" is in sign language) to figure out what Magic really is. All of this is compiled in my RESEARCH NOTES that I waved around in your face with none of you even subtly understanding my meaning.

As of right now, there is no such thing as "mana". I do not know why the God of Blood thinks there is. There never was in our bubble. Currently, all magic is powered by the user's soul. Every sapient and non-sapient has a soul, so making sapience somehow produce whatever "mana" is will not asst them in that. If anything, it would be an expensive waste of essence. Non-magic users are apparently incapable of taping into the source, even when powered by an outside source. What this means is, essentially, everyone contains the potential "ammunition" of magic. Not everyone is able to "shoot" this ammunition, for reasons I have not bothered to research. Flooding the people who cannot shoot with more ammunition is useless, like trying to load a broom stick.

I don't know why the MORONS think I have had a problem with magic. Did they grow even duller while I was away? Currently, two of the most magically aligned races where my creations. I have millions of armories filled with magical weaponry. In my research, I even found a way to significantly improve magic, making it both cheaper and safer for my own followers. The work is classified, as much of it is currently being used for defense. I have no problem with my followers having magic, I know it could never replace weaponry. All mortals having magic, however, would not be significantly different from what is currently going on. I do think you should talk about the potential consequences of this, seeing as NONE OF YOU IDIOTS EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT MAGIC IS. In all technicality, the current use of invoking the Void is functionally Eldrich magic.

In conclusion, while making all sapients capable of casting magic is potentially a good idea, we should actually talk about it before going forth. Especially seeing as none of you know a single thing about magic. I am, however, completely against having sapients somehow produce "mana", which is currently not used in any form of magic. At best, it is pointless, and at worst devastating in ways you do not understand."

(Ok so here's what happened: I played a kind of minigame with KJP a long time ago (around November 4) where I took control of a group of adventurers on Azem's Island of Death. All of them were definitely using mana. I'd show proof of such events but for some reason, all messages I got from KJP relating to the minigame are gone. The messages I sent to him about it are still there but they don't mention mana. The point is that KJP put mana in a Ye Gods minigame and that's why I thought there was mana.)

"I did, though. A long time ago when the world was new the elder gods were voting on the allowance of magic, started by Cim who voted that mortals should not have access to any magic at all.

I offer the royal families of all non-Human races that reproduce sexually a deal (Armu and Seppo are exempted, if they even reproduce like that). If they agree, their next child will be marked by me. They will gain enormous personal power - equal to an angel priest, influence over a single sphere, and greatness in their chosen profession. If the child is the heir to the throne, they will be a great ruler. If not, then they shall be loyal to their ruling sibling or parent and serve them faithfully, becoming a great steward of the land, general, scientist, or whatever other profession that would help their nation. In exchange for such a large gift of power, the child will be devoted to Lady Lecta. That is the only request in exchange for their child becoming Magical.

Mortals are informed that the gods are talking and that soon, ALL mortals will have access to magic.

"Hmm, Perhaps I overestimated my capabilities, Either way Neron I should be more than capable of creating the Anti-Sun and the Lightbulb by next Tick, However I have recently had an interesting idea that should heavily boost my Essence Income."

KI'Tork shows his Followers the art of making candy and ice cream, He then encourages them to sell and trade them in exchange for Riches and Technology, He also shows them how to indefinitely preserve food so that it will never rot, Apart from plagues of course.

KI'Tork hosts a Feast inside of the Citadel and offers to teleport every chef in both worlds there for the one month duration of the feast and afterwards back to their original location. KI'Tork summons millions of Kitchen Spirits to make every morsel of Food there seem superior to the Finest Food anywhere else. KI'Tork sets up a food contest, Whoever submits the Best Food shall gain 3 Unconditional Wishes. KI'Tork also invites the other Deities and their respective Clergies.

KI'Tork creates an afterlife plane called the Eternal Feasting Hall, The Plane is composed of an infinite amount of kitchens and dining halls, Whoever goes there may cook and/or feast for all eternity if they desire, They can also be reincarnated at any time if they wish. KI'Tork gives his Kobold followers a choice between going to the Eternal Feasting Hall and The Endless Caverns.

"Alright this should work."

I Support this proposal, but oppose making all sapients magic capable. A significant number of these beings could band together to oppose our godhood! That's an unacceptable potential.

"They are indirectly opposing our godhood specifically BECAUSE they don't have magic! Besides, most will only be able to do mundane things that people are making Void packs for. Also, I'd like to remind you that we're gods. If it ever gets to the point where they challenge our godhood - a nigh-impossible feat - then we can sitmply pass a proposal to take their magic away."

As I said, I was worried about them banding together, not pitiful individuals who can only wipe a plate clean. What's to stop them from blocking our ability from removing their magic in this instance? Has there ever been such a confluence of magic-users before?

We gain nothing by just giving them things. They have become misguided by the seemingly easy route of asking the Void for magic, for nothing in return. I propose that we encourage them to petition us for magic. At least then we can keep track of who has and hasn't got the ability to influence their environment beyond physical manipulation, and take steps should they become belligerent. I believe this will make them more favourable toward us, and fewer and fewer mortals will follow the Void.

Thus, I shall change my mind and vote to oppose 85.00: Forbid Void-worshippers from using magic. We should make and example out of some of the more prominent Void-worshippers, perhaps by exploding them into gibs or turning them stark raving mad. This will show the mortals that we don't appreciate them worshiping something as ambiguous as the Void over us gods, but at the same time making us seem merciful by not just arbitrarily punishing them all. Like you say, most of them can't do anything that grand anyway, so letting them know we don't like it by harshly punishing a handful, they'll stop.

I also oppose 85.03: Nuke the Slythan sun into nothingness before it turns into a Void monster because, you know, life and everything. If anyone wants to cool the planet, I'm sure we could tilt the axis a little, to provide the poles with less heat. This will have the impact of making Summers and Winters elsewhere a little more extreme, but if it stops the notion that BLOWING UP THE SUN is a good idea, I think it's reasonable.

Bless those who are building my temples with slightly better than average luck.

Take a stroll through the countryside, blessing farmers at random to have fantastic crop yields, while cursing the crops of their neighbours. The cursed farmers shall, however, find something of value on their land, such as historical artifacts that are thought to be linked with luck, equal to the value of their lost crops.

(Minigame mana: Did you think I'd let you cast heal on yourself continuously for an entire day? Minigames/spin-offs including the cancelled war stuff tend not to affect core stuff back here. Whether mana exists is still up to you (pl.) on IC or motivated individuals/groups. :P

For a counterexample, we don't have a simple scalar HP system for creations on IC.)

Hordes of parasitic creatures have appeared at a large Armu capital and slaughtered thousands!

There is a commotion in a different Armu city about a new statue.

Malakath: Most of the royal families are hesitant to give so much power over their kingdoms to any god at all. A few accept, but only for non-heirs to be raised far away from the throne.

The mortals are somewhat skeptical but interested in the announcement.

(Kl'Tork: -1E)
KI'Tork: You spread the production of candies and ice cream, encouraging followers to trade it for money and technology. You also teach them about refrigeration, which has become a new luxury.

You have started a feast and concentrated kitchen spirits into the area, and hundreds of chefs have agreed to be teleported there.

KI'Tork has also created the Eternal Feasting Hall, a place of eternal cooking and dining always with the option of returning.
"The Life Lab has created the spiciest pepper in the world, but it is too expensive for my Sunbreath Stew!"
"You should try my special cheese! It puts the grubs in grub!"
"Does this powder make my food taste sour?"

Neron: You have encouraged the creation of new Neronmas recipes and more ice-based food. Some cold-loving Kobolds have gone to the North to exchange cooking techniques.
"A nearby volcano seems to have gotten more active."
"When will it be Neronmas again?"
"I have a special delivery. Cold [sic] you sign here?"

(Fortuna: -1E)
Fortuna: The builders of your temples have been blessed with slightly better luck.

You roam the countrysides, redistributing luck.
"Fortunafortunafortunafortuna YES!"
"Did you know I am so lucky I cannot ever die or grow old? Let's play cards!"
"We have been lucky to have such a high yields in this time of failure!"

Melyssa: The Flagellants are not getting along very well with the other races. Having painful traps built everywhere in public spaces seems not to be conducive to peaceful discussion. Some of them have been forced to create untrapped buildings solely to keep visitors safe.

Your followers will now thank KI'Tork for their meals.
"I suppose emeralds don't always relate to Azem."
"Thanks!"

"A true chef is Satisfied with even the Worst ingredients, You'll think of something, Create your own spice."
KI'Tork inspires the Spicy Pepper chef to create a superior brand of Peppers.

"It does actually, But with effort even the most sour morsel can be superior to the greatest sweets."

I'm still reticent to give all mortals the ability to use magic. Even if they could only stop one god doing one thing, what do you think that's going to do in regards to belief in gods in general? Mortals exerting they're will over us, even in a tiny way, is unacceptable.

I'm unconvinced that an artificial limiter on magic is also limiting our Essence generation. I require evidence, concrete and incontrovertible, that this is happening before I'll even consider supporting to remove limits.

You also claim you want mortals to be strong on their own, yet you want to give them the use of magic? A literal gift from the gods? No. Like I say, if a mortal wants magic, they must petition a god, not the Void. This will go someway toward reducing the number of Void pacts. Unless there's another reason that they're making pacts...

Perhaps we should be looking at the reasons why the mortals are making their pacts with the Void. If it's just magic, then yes, blocking Void-worshipers magic will more than likely put a stop to any further Void-worship. If it's something else, something insidious, it won't make a difference, therefore we will need to punish people.

A correct question to ask would have been 'who caused the plague that wiped out 1/4 of humanity' or a similar question, but I feel she would have weaseled her way out of that as well."

"Ah, the Gruen. I knew I was forgetting a race. It seems to fit the pattern of targeting races devoted to a god. In any case, my question was different from Tykki's but the answer was pretty much the same."

I ask for the identity or identities of the god(s) responsible for the last few magical plagues.

"But what if they mutate or crop up again? What if this is only the start? This is very unsettling and we should at least take countermeasures, If nothing else."

"As a God likely summoned them to replace a plague, we will not have to worry about it if we can find and put down the culprit before he acts again. He has killed to many for you all to continue ignoring this! Assuming you have similar countermeasures against a plague in place, I don't have enough information on them to suggest proper weapons. If they are land-bound with thick armor, heavy hammers with small contact points and other armor-piercing weaponry would be the item to choose. If they are agile and flying, then ranged weapons would be the best. There are a thousand points in between that I cannot fathom."

"Yes, the answer was almost the same. This could mean that it was a separate God who did one of the plagues. As the first two had the same modus operendi, it is possible someone assumed the God of Hunger caused the first plague and wanted to get revenge in a similar manner. Or he could only be responsible for part of it, getting help from something else, from the Void to a mortal. It simply doesn't answer the question, and isn't even specific enough to grant any new information."

Malakath: Most of the royal families are hesitant to give so much power over their kingdoms to any god at all. A few accept, but only for non-heirs to be raised far away from the throne.

They consciously plan for their unborn child to be raised away from the place where they would do the most good. Unwise, really, but still, I grant one such family a Magical Child, to be recognised by a colourful mark on the back of their left hand. Who is the child born to, on what planet, what gender are they, and what sphere do they influence? The sphere will never be anything associated with the Void and it won't be one already covered by a god.

EDIT: "Bad" spheres like cannibalism and corruption will obviously be exempt, as will anything that relates to states of maturity (children, adults, etc.) and relationships (siblings, lovers, etc.)....friendship excluded.

And now, for the next few bits...

Make some of the flying cities, with the protective Obelisk lattices surrounding them. They are far more mobile than the others, as you might imagine.
Make all the cities of my followers the living cities, and mildly self-aware(aligned to Good and limited power, as said in the OOC).
Hopefully do these with Khaziraad's and Azem's help.

The Second Grand Awakening shall begin! Goodness and missionaries proclaiming the cause of Darruth, aided by their newfound widespread magic and mobile bases of operation shall carry the Glory of Goodness to the ends of the world!

Manifest a portion of myself (slowly, so as not to startle overmuch anyone; I should be in continuous contact with my priests(from my perspective of continuous) to make sure my actions don't come as a complete surprise when it comes to the mortals, in fact) in the Grand Cathedral(remember that?) to answer questions and pilgrims to come there. It will take the form of a great mobile statue, a brightly glowing orb in the center, reminiscent of an eye while many pairs of hands (one can never be quite sure of which race...), each consisting of one that seems to naturally curl into a fist, and the other which naturally opens in welcome, float around it, and an oblong spheroid(think mostly- flattened sphere) hangs below them, seeming to gyrate. The entire thing is surrounded by moving stone hoops, placed within another and rotating in a similar fashion to gyroscopes, save that there are five, each carved with a different style of decoration along the entire length; chains, ivy, flame, eyes, and interwoven lines/rope(for the last think celtic knotwork/geometric patterns). This shall be my Avatar, and it shall, in fact, assist in running the Grand Cathedral, being capable of seeing everything within it and a ways out. Lesser Avatars shall also manifest in lesser Cathedrals, Churches, Shrines, etc. The power of an Avatar is linked to the number of Rings it has; five is the highest, of which there is only one, and the only one with a ring carved with eyes. The smallest, with only one Ring, have only the Ivy Ring, and the number of pairs of hands each Avatar has is linked to the number of rings; cube the number of rings for how many hands it has in total, and square the number of rings for how many hands it can hold within the diameter of the Rings easily(without it becoming crowded and in the way; helps figure out the size). Yes, this means the single Ring Avatars have only only pair of hands, while the High Avatar has 125. If this takes too much essence(as in, more than around 8-10), don't do it. Yet.

Rather than have all this fuss, why not ask the Oracle the following question?

'Which Gods have been responsible for causing magical plagues?'

Wouldn't that force some sort of answer out of her, one way or another?

As well, I don't particularly like drugs, particularly not highly addictive and debilitating ones, Malakath. Distribute it in my cities only if you wish to make me angry very quickly.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

An intelligent race that resembles bees and/or wasps that are roughly 2/3 the size of humans at adulthood, and live roughly the same length. Each of their six appendages have three claw-like fingers. They build labyrinthine hives below but near the surface of wherever they are out of a translucent glassy, yellow-orange substance. They have somewhat of a hive mind; each hive has a central mind that is linked to each member, but the individuals still have free will. They can survive in thin and abnormal atmospheres rather well, and are capable of staying alive in near-vacuum for a fair while. They will subsist off of whatever organic sources they can find that are convenient.

"I did not vote either way. The threatening Void things are incapable of being destroyed, except by the ones who made them. The things you hope to destroy either could be easily replaced or provided valuable information on how cults work. In any case, it wouldn't help. That is not a way to effectively go about fighting the Void. At worse, it might bring more attention to our bubble, rather then drawing them away.

I am fine making cheap, essentially standard, weapons for other Gods or worthy mortals. They don't typically have any impressive powers, unless the other God wants to provide them itself. Things like the "Emperor's" sword are fine. Except for you, I will charge you five essence. I will lower it to three essence, because discount."

Tick 87: Filtered frenzy

The monsters at the Armu capital have abruptly become more lethal!

Melyssa has commanded that foreigners not be allowed to enter the Flagellant city (for their own safety more than anything else). A small, trap-free town 1.5mi/2.4km outside the Flagellant city is under construction. Most of the Flagellants are amused by this.

Khaziraad has started the Grand Military Games, a series of military-based games reserved for the races in which godly intervention is discouraged.

(Lots of chefs have submitted food.)
"I cannot! I have only a few weeks, while the Life Lab had years to create that Pepper of Perfection, Pungent among Peers!"
"It has a nice ring to it! I'll run over to the table they set up to store dishes temporarily!"
"Then I will have to focus on cooking the Form of Sourness."

A chef carrying a plate has slipped on some oil and scattered maggots all over the kitchen.
"What if the Health Inspector sees?"
"Aiiiieeee! Nooooo!"
"Tasty!"
"What have you done?"

Grauel has attended the feast and begun eating the many worthy offerings given. A portal has appeared and disappeared above Grauel, and an arrow has flown in and embedded itself where a head would be in a humanoid. Grauel seems to be unharmed. The arrow is covered with carvings of the word "FUSIL."

Malakath has created Magic Childness and given it to a non-heir of royal birth who has yet to be born. The child seems to be aligned with Forgiveness. The family rules a Luminee kingdom on Slytha.

Neron:
"We are from NUKE. Our air specialist suggests that the smoke it releases may be helpful for our faultily created world."
"Two ticks! Yes! Yes! Neronmas is coming to town!"
"Here you go, then."

The delivery seems to be a bunch of frost-covered seeds of some sort.

Tykki: "As you command, Sir."

The Vindico have formed a barrier to stop the creatures from escaping and slaughtering the remaining citizens. Tykki slashes around at the seemingly endless stream of monsters but cannot seem to kill them faster than they appear.

The souls of the dead citizens end up going to the other world or an afterlife as normal.

(It's now quite a bit higher than 5%.)

Fortuna has begun spreading the superstition that mentioning his name out loud leads to temporary bad luck.

The lucky man seems not to be cheating.
"It's been 777 years at least! I can definitely take you on and win!"

The farmers have donated a fraction of their surplus to the temples. Most of it they consume in an extended family feast.

Fortuna has announced that his temples provide alms to those in need.

Darruth has created the flying cities with Obelisks around them and given life to the existing Good cities.

Darruth's missionaries have begun spreading the word of Darruth with increased vigor. Darruth has made an impressive appearance (0E) in the Grand Cathedral to answer questions and pilgrims there. Many are terrified by Darruth's true form. (Perhaps you should tell them not to fear first?)

There are a few magic towers belonging to assorted wizards scattered about the land. At the moment, none of the ones containing necromancers use Malakathite necromancy or soul magic, having been cut off for so long. Bandit strongholds exist in various places and are even backed by Bandit Unions in some areas. There are about a thousand Mumans. The Gruen retain a caste system and the Armu are less interested in having a bloody internal revolt than in causing one in other states.

Joha has created 300 Bienen, bee-like sophonts that can tolerate lower pressures.

Cim has transported a strange-looking statue from the Armu city to an uninhabited area. It is shaped like a humanoid with almost wolf-like features but has too many angles.

A random Human named Occam has used his razor to cut a rope. Tragically, it seems that the rope supported an anvil that happened to be above an expensive godly statue.

The Virtues have sent out their gifts as they are now and jumped back to the mortal worlds to spread their virtues.
Pat has given Cim 4E.
Tom has given Malakath 4E.
Rita has given Khaziraad 4E.
Ben has given KI'Tork 4E.
Tria has given Neron 4E.
Mil has given Grauel 4E.
Cassie has given Quéßäre 4E. She winks at Malakath before jumping out.

All of Khaziraad's dead angels have now been revived.

This update's constellations are the Seraph and Ikaku. Solar activity continues to be high for Slytha's sun but is subsiding. The (mundane) Slythan aurora can be seen nearly halfway to the equator (65$\degree$)

"I did not vote either way. The threatening Void things are incapable of being destroyed, except by the ones who made them. The things you hope to destroy either could be easily replaced or provided valuable information on how cults work. In any case, it wouldn't help. That is not a way to effectively go about fighting the Void. At worse, it might bring more attention to our bubble, rather then drawing them away."

"Two things about that proposal. First, part of the proposal required that ALL gods help in removing the objects, thus, they would have been destroyed whether the Void-aligned among us would've wanted to or not. The second is that I made another proposal which would've only destroyed things like temples, monuments, and statues - things that don't provide any information on the Void whatsoever and only help with spreading their influence."

Quote from: Stirk on January 07, 2015, 04:11:59 am

"I am fine making cheap, essentially standard, weapons for other Gods or worthy mortals. They don't typically have any impressive powers, unless the other God wants to provide them itself. Things like the "Emperor's" sword are fine. Except for you, I will charge you five essence. I will lower it to three essence, because discount."

"Oh, um, thank you! I guess. I was under the impression you didn't like me. It's good that we're ok, though. To be honest, I don't really have anything against you. The last proposal really was crossing a line, but I'm guessing that's why I'm getting the discount, right?"

Malakath has created Magic Childness and given it to a non-heir of royal birth who has yet to be born. The child seems to be aligned with Forgiveness. The family rules a Luminee kingdom on Slytha.

(Got ninja'd by you. Was also gonna make it a Keshan-only thing but this'll work.) Forgiveness? That's a useless sphere. Reroll. It's not that Luminee kingdom is it? You know, the one with the one dude and the Lady and all? *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 07, 2015, 04:26:30 am

At the moment, none of the ones containing necromancers use Malakathite necromancy or soul magic, having been cut off for so long. Bandit strongholds exist in various places and are even backed by Bandit Unions in some areas. There are about a thousand Mumans. The Gruen retain a caste system and the Armu are less interested in having a bloody internal revolt than in causing one in other states.

Cut off from what? "Malakathite" necromancy? Necromancy (capital 'N') was renamed to Soul magic and expanded upon, making traditional necromancy a branch of the Soul attunement. I didn't create my own brand of necromancy and old necromancy still exists as a branch of Soul magic. (The same way that fire magic exists as a branch of Elemental magic.) Bandit unions? What do they do and why are they allowed to exist? How many Mumans were there before Glorious Revolution?

Grauel has attended the feast and begun eating the many worthy offerings given. A portal has appeared and disappeared above Grauel, and an arrow has flown in and embedded itself where a head would be in a humanoid. Grauel seems to be unharmed. The arrow is covered with carvings of the word "FUSIL."

I'm going to assume this was a joke and not an actual poor attempt at hurting me. I suppose it was kind of funny that it was aiming for my "head".

The gesture is appreciated Mil. Consider myself available for a favor should your life ever be at risk.

KI'Tork makes the maggots vanish and gives the one chef who said they were tasty a bucket of them.

KI'Tork also spends 1 Essence to satisfy the Feast-goers and spends 2 Essence in an attempt to fill Grauel.

KI'Tork encourages his Worshipers to worship Neron as well.

I could, yes. However, I feel it is, at this stage, rather irrelevant, as I have my doubts as to KI'Tork being able or desirous of creating a statue that would annoy Fusil. He's not that stupid.

Additionally, more than a few gods communicated with the void in the past dozen ticks or so, so the 'evidence' would serve more to make him a scapegoat than anything else. Plus, the parasites afflicting Fusil's followers - by the way, Fusil, I would offer my help but a. you don't like me and would probably spurn it anyway b. seem to have the situation under control and c. at this point, with the angels I have, and the fact that they aren't Void to be oblitered by Viminal, I'd get in the way more than anything. If you'd like, I could protect your followers to try and keep any more of them from dying in the fighting. I'm not certain if that's needed at this point, however.

Finally, I will say this: Fusil, you would probably charge me or Cim for those weapons as well, correct? Or is it just because you, like the rest of us, are annoyed the Essence-grubbing nature Malakath seems to share with the late Yaos?

The only time I talked to the Void was when the manifestation very publicly appeared on Keshan and warned me against going after its followers. The conversation has been noted in the Council Records. Apparently, I'm only allowed to do so if mortal law allows me."

Fortuna

I'd like to help some traders now. Pick a number of them who are having trouble with bandits, and ask for transport to a town on their trade route, and aid them with the bandits in some blindingly lucky ways, such as throwing a stone (as a blind man) and taking out a wagon/cart/horse. Direct them to my temples for donations, and my continuing support in their endeavours.

The lucky man seems not to be cheating.
"It's been 777 years at least! I can definitely take you on and win!"

Shuffle the deck some more and place the cards in front of the man.

I propose a test, before we play for anything of substance. Cut the cards twice, friend, so we have three piles. Choose one pile, and I shall take another. We will take turns placing a card from our pile on the table, one at a time. Highest value card, aces low, wins. ((playing for time with this dude. I want to find out more about him beyond what I can tell via my godly sense. What are my options, if any?))

A normal castle will do fine, maybe painted and detailed to match the knights' colours. I've also noticed that you don't particularly take to me.

Fusil, abaut that void statue, may I borrow it for a moment? I made Kyloth's hammer with intention of it being able to (eventualy) destroy anything, and I would like to test that on void construct.

Thank you Rita. Choices of you and your sisters were... interesting to say the least. They certainly shed some light on fellow deities.

For the oracle, I still have my one free question. Let's give it a try.  Ask the oracle "Who created the parasites that Tykki is curently fighting?".

I believe I had expresed reasons why I dislike you Malkath, but I shall go over them again and add some clarification.

Quote

Azem once held the title of god of greed, but he moved on to wealth as we noticed that Yaos was far more bucaneeringly oportunistic. But even at his worst Yaos couldn't even hold a candle to you.

You took Yaosian angels (something you had no right to), and started selling information abaut Yaos (something that was not yours).

Quote

As rare as it is, Fusil is absolutely right in what he said abaut your Blood pacts.

Fusil was right, but he didin't say all the detriments. Blood pacts create mistrust among those who use them and destroy souls for no reason. Even though it changing that would not invalidate other reasons why Blood pacts are terrible, there is hardly a reason to not use death instead of soul destruction as punnishment. Fusil noted how useless they are to propr society, but he did not mention how they would affect those outside society. Bandits can now be better organised than ever, because they can have unbreakable oaths, and trust was never an issue becouse they never had any. Assassins now can't just take money andd run if they judge their target unworthy of death.

Quote

"Hey Darruth, can you tell us which gods have been communicating with the Void recently?"

Have you considered that Darruth may want to keep this a secret, as to not become a target of void contracts?

And of course, there was the time when you destroyed souls of my followers for expresing their distaste of your methods.

But you are trying (or you say that you are) and I am willing to give you a chance. You want a castle, you get a castle.

Create a castle of Eudialyte and Marble for Lectys upcoming knight order.

"I have no claim to it, someone made a pact and put it in one of my cities. It isn't even there anymore. Do what you wish with it, though all current knowlage suggests that you cannot destroy it unless you had made the pact. I was hoping to at least read any runes that it had on it, though the last one's translation was hardly helpful I would at least be able to find out who made it. Seeing as Cim is best friends with whoever created it, he would probably be able to tell us that anyway."

You took Yaosian angels (something you had no right to), and started selling information abaut Yaos (something that was not yours).

"The first Yaosian angel I killed was purely an accident. I just happened to be born in the same place it was at the time. I had no choice in the matter. The second one was an act of self-defence, and I was really rather confused at the time. I'd just been born, there was another soul inside of me, I was getting a flood of memories I wasn't prepared for, and now I was being attacked. I acted on reflex and ate the angels soul. I have since adjusted my reflexes. You can confirm all this with the Oracle, I'm even willing to give 1 Essence to help pay for it."
"If by "taking" you mean making some of the Yaosians into Malakathians, just know that everything was entirely consensual. I asked if they wanted to become aligned to me and they accepted. Those that declined were left alone. The ones I ate I revived and offered them alignment to me as well. One accepted and the other declined. All the ones that are now aligned to me still retain their Yaosian alignment."
"I'll admit that Yaos' information wasn't mine but I had no choice but to have it. Also, Yaos' angels know that I've been selling information but I haven't received any prayers - not a single one - from any of them saying I should stop. Regardless, the information I sold either wasn't meant to be shared or I should've given for free. I have since stopped the practice of selling Yaos' info."

"This is something I definitely want to change. I like the idea of a bond strong enough that it confers tangible benefits to the people involved so I don't want to get rid of blood bonds completely, but I agree it should be changed. One thing I'd like to clarify is that the souls don't get destroyed. Depending on the pact they either go to the Shadow Plane or they fall in an endless - though extremely comfortable - sleep within me."
"Back to reforms. This is what I'm thinking, I remove all penalties from blood marriages and only High Priests can form a blood bond. They would be very effective arbiters who'll decide if the situation is important enough to allow for a blood bond to exist. A king and his most elite, trusted bodyguards, for example. Or a king and his vassals. If you've ever read books that showed relationships between kings and vassals in a realistic light you'd know that trust has nothing to do with the relationship in the first place so there's no room for mistrust to grow in the first place - it's already assumed that the vassal (or the king, for that matter) is a back-stabbing jerk who'll betray the other if if profit could be attained. As for battle blood bonds, I could simply remove the penalty. If one of the members is so willing to kill a bond-member for power then they wouldn't benefit from it anyway. Do you agree with these reforms?"

"And I was entirely out of line for doing that. We both were, actually, but I definitely more. They shouldn't have murdered my angels as a way of expressing distaste - first, simply telling them to stop would've been enough, and second, they were being moderate in their attempts to inform people about me - but my permanently destroying their souls was far worse. I've looked into ways I could bring them back but seeing as it's impossible, the best I could do was give a public apology for my actions."

Tick 88: Soap from monsters

A powerful temporal shudder rocks the Bubble.

The monsters at the Armu capital have become even more dangerous! Additionally, sightings have been confirmed in large Human cities and many random places!

The Armu capital has suddenly been rapidly cleared of monsters.

GEs: Yes, but they could probably use some fine-tuning.

The magic Fetus of Forgiveness has become the Ragamuffin of Revelry (but is still not born). This is not the Luminee family with the one dude and the Lady and the wacky hijinks, but it can be described using similar terms.

(Cut off from society; sticks to the old branch of necromanc; no particular allegiance to either of Malakath or Atropos.)

(Mumans before Revolution: Over 2 000, I think.)

Grauel has analyzed a few of the creatures. They do not seem to be aligned with any god in particular, but they do seem to be perpetually hungry.

KI'Tork has given the chef who liked the maggots a bucket of the fallen ones. The Feast-goers are mostly satisfied and eagerly waiting for the slower dishes. He also attempts to fill Grauel, with no visible success. KI'Tork continues to encourage his worshippers to worship Neron.

The Frozen Guard have, after much difficulty, managed to capture a few of the monsters for further study at NUKE. Testing has begun on them.

Neron has had one of the frozen seeds planted and cared for by the Pine Tree Titans.

Fortuna has joined a band of traders to help with their trading. Regrettably (but fortunately for the traders), the bandits seem to be on strike following some vigilante action.
"Sure, why not?"
The dude throws the cards in the air, and they end up landing in order. He snickers, shuffles the deck, and cuts it as requested.
"You go first, divine one!"
(Freebie from IC thread stuff: Varee, in a fit of randomness, gave the Rod of Amazement to a formerly unlucky man. That man is now supernaturally lucky and has evaded countless assassination attempts but mostly just spends his time trying to enjoy a rich, long life. Typically, I leave the specifics of what to do to the players.)

Oracle:
Q: "Who created the parasites that Tykki is curently fighting?"
A: "KI'Tork."

Khaziraad has created a castle of eudialyte and milky quartz for Lecty's knights. A passing knight says "It's only a model!"

Spoiler: Material hardness (click to show/hide)

(Hardness seems to be frequently associated with brittleness. I think this explains why we don't use high-carbon steel for everything structural because softer steels will tend to bend rather than break or something like that. Diamonds are typically seen as the hardest materials in every way but are not too hard to shattering.)

Kyloth has attempted to smash the Void statue, and the base breaks, but it remains unbroken despite the hammer's ability.

(I'd have thought someone would have created Gossip Angels by now.)

This update's constellations are the Human and Pentagram. Solar activity continues to be elevated for the Slythan sun.

(KI'Tork: -3E, Khaziraad: -3E, Atropos: +2E)

"Don`t worry KI` Tork this is a bit more important."

All cities of the North are to be under watch and a group of Frozen Guard lead by Merwen is to attack the monsters appearing in the human cities. The Frozen Guards is to freeze as many of the monsters as they can to send back to NUKE.

For the oracle, I still have my one free question. Let's give it a try.

I'm willing to believe KI'Tork, he has less of a reason to wish Fusil harm than I do. Oracle seems to be more inteligent and less benigin than given credit for, as it probably knew that it was one uninformative answer away from being ground up into fine powder. Pity, that simplicity of my question left out other plagues, but now that we have a working method, finding out what caused other plagues should be simpler.

Cim, I am rather interested in Evie, if what Fusil said is right and it indeed created same hammer that Kyloth uses. Could you put us into contact?

If castle that I made is indeed just a model, make a proper one.

(The knight was just being silly. 3E was for the massive castle, but for some reason, I saw a 3E deduction and assumed it was an Oracle one, so (Atropos: -2E))

(The Oracle gave a "proper" answer because the question was asked in a way not conducive to caused-all-of-the-following interpretations, unlike some of the last few questions.)

(Darruth: +10-2E, Khaziraad: -2E, Azem: -3E)
Darruth's investment has been refunded and recalculated with the aid of Khaziraad and Azem taken into account.

(KI'Tork: -2E)
KI'Tork:  All of the gods suddenly feel stuffed!

You have created an antidote to reduce the spread of the parasites, although it could use some improvement. You also smite large numbers of them, but they seem to multiply very quickly.

Neron: The Frozen Guard and Merwen have begun attacking and freezing the monsters in the nearby human cities.

Intriguing. However, bear in mind you are addressing a god. You would do well to temper your over-eager demands in future.

Selects a pile at random. Reveals the top card.

Continue appearing with traders and protecting them from bandits, with the usual demands for donations and worship. They'll attack eventually...

Spoiler: Tailwyrms (click to show/hide)

The Tailwyrm: a Mountwyrm lacking wings but with a very long, strong tail to strike with. They are technically the same race as Mountwyrms and are capable of reproducing with them. If a Tailwyrm and a Mountwyrm have a child together, the child will have a 50/50 chance of either being a Tailwyrm or a Mountwyrm. There is a 1/100 chance that such a child will be born with both wings and a tail as a Winged Tailwyrm.

I create as many Tailwyrms as I can with 4 Essence, split between Keshan and Slytha. To start with, they will build their city around the castle Khaziraad built. Let his gift be rewarded with more buildings, after all. I *really* don't want to have to point this out, but they have increased common sense, the same as all other sapient races I made or will make.

Malakath creates a group of 150 sapients made up of Humans, Mount/Tailwyrms, High Elves, Dwarves, and Wolf People in equal measure. These sapients will be knights inductor of the Bellatorus Sanatores - the Knights of Restoration. They are more commonly known as white knights, red knights, or red-and-white knights for the armour they wear, and blood knights for their magical specialty. They know secret blood magic which makes them physically as good as combat-enhanced members of their respective races. When not doing hired work, they either reside in their castle or travel the world, healing people and adventuring.

Spoiler: A Human Bellator (click to show/hide)

(http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/021/2/9/Blood_Knight_by_ShadowShogun50.jpg)
He's got a kama! *squee!*

Children and adults, commonmen and noblemen may join, so long as they are magic-capable. At the end of their training, they choose either to stay with the order or be free. Commonly, nobles sent here by their parents will receive their training and then leave. These parents might send their child to the Bellatorus Sanatores because they offer unique and powerful advantages their children can't get from training with any other knights. Those who choose to stay in the order get their own custom set of armour. Knights usually get their armour magically enchanted afterwards or enchant it themselves.
The knights are asked about their preferred name for the castle. The most popular ones will be considered. Malakath ponders on the fact that these are actual serious knights devoted to her and would almost certainly not give her any stupid or silly suggestions. The same applies to normal people when dealing with gods as well but these guys especially.

The Lord Malakath descends to Keshan and fights the parasites herself in cities where she is not unwelcome (Armu, Golems, etc.) with 50 Bellators. She looks at the souls of the parasites to see if they're safe to eat and if they are she does so. She also checks the general composition of the soul for any surprises and ESPECIALLY sees if eating, killing, or destroying them will in any way make them explode.

It is powerful because it is a Choas-aligned weapon made by an Order Null, an anti-aligned weapon who's contradictions cause it to explode.

If you know of the true origins of the Lich, or whatever Yaos really knew about her, you should know that as well.

Send Viminal to Purge/Drain/Whatever-you-wanna-call-it the Statue Kyloth was unable to destroy. Then get out of there once that's done so Kyloth can break it without killing Viminal.

He instantly assumed it was me, being as judgmental as he is. I found the criminal and searched his mind to find that there was no Order and it was nothing but a cruel mortal joke. He then threatened to slaughter everyone in Àrenne if I did not turn over the criminal and amassed an army in my lands.

You are a God of Deception. How am I to know that you did not plant memories within the Wolf-man's mind to deceive me? You could easily do so, if you wanted to.

And no, that's not what happened. Quebare seems to be reading too much into some things, assuming others, and making yet more things up entirely.

I received an arrow with a note attached, via it being planted in one of my Templar's feet. The note read: "From the Assassins with care." Nothing about an order.

When I investigated the cause, it was found to be teleported in. I backtraced the teleport and lo and behold, I find myself in the middle of nowhere with fog-spheres all around. Quebare notices me, or assume it was me, or something, and bring the subject to my attention. Then, and I had not told him that the arrow was in the Templar's foot, he asks whether the Templar was injured. You can see why I found this suspicious. When I asked how he knew that, he said that he had found it to be the result of a prank.

A prank. Using magic, made against a military order. I asked to view the criminal's mind for myself, and he refused. At this point I pointed out that I knew where Arenne was and that making me an enemy would be a bad idea. It still is a bad idea, for that matter. I mostly meant that as a threat to reveal the location to the rest of the Council, actually. To kill? No. I have no need to slaughter his followers.

My 'army' as you call it, consists of an unknown amount of Guardian Angels; yes, I'm not sure myself, as I only have a dozen and fifteen seemed to have appeared, and Viminal who I recently sent to help Kyloth, as well as an Archangel form of myself, which I believe dissolved following my Avatar being created.

To put it another way: You are so full of shit, Quebare, that an onlooker could mistake you for a septic tank.

"My, Darruth I'm sorry. It's hard to get all the details completely accurate with an army hunting down my capitol!

Listen, everything aside this has all been one big misunderstanding. If you wanted to check my city for the Void or "Jelly Roll Assassins," why didn't you just say so! You leave a lot of things open to interpretation when you say, "I know where arenne (misspelled, by the way) is...Making me an enemy is I'll advised." Maybe I'd know what you meant if you had said what you meant!

I've given you access to the criminal's mind. If you don't believe me, check it. If you believe I faked it, check that!

All I ask is that your army backs off so that my people can have peace. Whenever I see a threat, I must always assume the worst, lest I be taken by surprise or underestimate it. Can't this just end peacefully?"


"Also, if I hear you received an arrow, is it so strange to assume it was shot? And if it was shot, shouldn't I wonder if someone had been injured? Oh, and when I said "Assassin Order" all that means is an organized group of assassins, which by the way you described the Jelly Roll Assassins, is what you're looking for!"

A short chat will be enough Cim.

I'm willing to give it a try Darruth. Hammerstrike shouldn't result in an explosion unless Kyloth wills it.

Fusil, while you are offen better informed than many, I'd still advise against suiciding without being entirely certain of who is at fault. Remember what happened last time you openly proclaimed that you will kill a god?

Tick 89: Trouble brewing

Much of the largest Kobold city has been leveled by a blast of unknown origin, killing thousands of Kobolds.

Despite a recently passed proposal banning the use of magic among Void-worshippers, Void influence has more than doubled on both worlds.

Melyssa:
"Eeheehee! Look at my knotted arms!"
"That sounds like a good idea."

Grauel has collected some more parasite samples, eating a few, feeding a few to the Gruen, and storing some away for later. They are crunchy and probably quite useful for Gruen despite the unusually slow redevelopment resulting from the parasites.

Fortuna has drawn K♠. The lucky man has drawn J♠.

Bandits continue not to attack the traders, surprisingly. It may be a result of luck of some sort.

Malakath has created 300 000 Tailwyrms between Keshan and Slytha around the castle recently built by Khaziraad and started the creation of the order of the Knights of Restoration. (I'm not alert enough to trust my brain to produce reasonable names.)

Another order of knights, the Knights of the Burning Day, have formed on the same day far away from the Knights of Restoration. Somehow, they know of the Knights of Restoration and look down on them.

Malakath has begun fighting the parasites in person on Keshan with 50 Bellatores. Many of the parasites appear not to have souls and soon manage to implant themselves in 15 Bellatores, who seem to have become slightly magical parasites. The ones that do have souls are mostly degraded to the point where eating them feels like a Human eating paper.

Neron has descended on a heavily infested city to search for the source of the monsters and destroy any in the way. It appears they reproduce by converting the living.

A few of the Good cities are likewise infested and can do little to help. Many everywhere call for total quarantine of infested cities.

Oracle
Q: "I ask you, have KI'Tork's parasites been manipulated by forces other than himself?"
A: "Yes."

Viminal has come to drain the strange statue Kyloth was attempting to destroy. It seems to be decaying slowly with active effort from Viminal.

Khaziraad has created a mystic marketplace.

This update's constellations are the Human and Pentagram. Solar activity continues to be elevated for the Slythan sun.

"I had an idea something like this would happen. If it really would've weakened the Void then they would've done something to prevent it. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Maybe we should roll back the proposal?"

The people who used to make Void pacts for mundane things are checked to see if they're still making these pacts despite the fact that they can do it on their own now.

Another order of knights, the Knights of the Burning Day, have formed on the same day far away from the Knights of Restoration. Somehow, they know of the Knights of Restoration and look down on them.

The ones that do have souls are mostly degraded to the point where eating them feels like a Human eating paper.

(I originally wanted them to be split between the two worlds but then I just decided to have them build their city around the castle and I forgot to edit out the Keshan/Slythan part. Also, the actual knights themselves were specifically created and are multi-racial. The 300,000 Tailwyrms I made were extra.)

The Burning Days are asked about their organisation and their views on the Bellators.

"It seems these things are capable of somehow piercing a combination of heavy plate armour and blood armour. This is really rather unfortunate." I order all remaining Bellators to retreat. I eat the souls of the Bellators who've been infected, destroying their bodies in the process, and reviving them away from all the parasites. I use chi sense (chi is life energy) to see if these parasites are alive. I also make sure none of the other Bellators are infected. Besides checking their status as living beings, what else do I know about them? How big are they? How do they infect people? How do they reproduce? What do they do to a host? How intelligent are they when in a host?

Q: "I ask you, have KI'Tork's parasites been manipulated by forces other than himself?"

"I guess it's always been this way even before this proposal was passed but I guess I'm the defacto goddess of Magic the same way a goddess of Alcohol is defacto goddess of Beer."

(Aside from Soul magic, I think I should get Influence income from magic-use in general. All magic is reliant on souls, after all. I would get more influence from Soul and blood magic, of course, but still.)

I send my 21 angel priests around the worlds (where they're allowed) to spread the word that all mortals are now capable of using magic thanks to a proposal spearheaded by Lord Malakath Lecta and supported by Melyssa and Quéßäre. They are also taught to be careful with their newfound abilities as overuse could damage or kill their souls. Malakathian temples will provide tutorials on how to properly channel and use magic without burnout. Since all magic is reliant on souls, mages are informed that Malakath can be considered the defacto goddess of Magic and that worshipping her is in their best interests even if they're not Soul mages.

(You know, I really love the spheres I chose. I honestly had no idea that magic was in any way related to souls - Necromancy excluded - and now I learn that ALL magic is reliant on my sphere! I guess this pretty much makes me the most powerful mage out.)

I would very much be interested in something like this. I alluded to the fact that if Void worship was unaffected by our banning of magic by Void worshipers, that there must be some other reason that the mortals keep worshiping it.

A large peregrine falcon comes in to land amid the other gods, and transforms seamlessly into Raptil's human form.

Alright, what's going on?

Spoiler: Raptil (click to show/hide)

Name: Raptil
Sphere: Hunting
Primary form: He prefers the form of an unusually large peregrine falcon. In human form, Raptil appears as tall, weather beaten man, with dark, wild hair and an unkempt beard His eyes are green and piercing. He is clad in animal pelts and holds a bow made from some otherworldly material, needing no quiver or physical amunition. Various animal trophies hang from his waist.
Symbol: A crimson arrowhead/chevron
Description: Throughout history, people have been relying on hunting for procuring food. Often, they would pray to the heavens to ensure a successful hunt, as a single failed hunt could make the difference between eating and starvation.

"Hello Raptil! Welcome to our world!

KI'Tork, Àrenne, also known as the Hidden City, is the High-Elf capitol. It houses over the majority of all High-Elves in existence, which is why Darruth having his army search for it slightly worries me.

"Welcome to the Council. My name is Lord Malakath Vandire Sephir Lecta, Goddess of Souls and Blood. You'll find that I'm one of the more diplomatic gods here, meaning I will not prevent you from spreading your religion. Currently, we're dealing with some very dangerous parasites that have been killing large numbers of civilians. I recommend you fight them either by yourself or with angels. Don't bring mortals into the fight."

I wouldn't be too surprised if a civil war erupted at some point in the near future among the council.

Spoiler: Raptil (click to show/hide)

Name: Raptil
Sphere: Hunting
Primary form: He prefers the form of an unusually large peregrine falcon. In human form, Raptil appears as tall, weather beaten man, with dark, wild hair and an unkempt beard His eyes are green and piercing. He is clad in animal pelts and holds a bow made from some otherworldly material, needing no quiver or physical amunition. Various animal trophies hang from his waist.
Symbol: A crimson arrowhead/chevron
Description: Throughout history, people have been relying on hunting for procuring food. Often, they would pray to the heavens to ensure a successful hunt, as a single failed hunt could make the difference between eating and starvation.

"The Humans don't have a patron deity any more. Don't you think you should've started helping at least since the last Tick?"

If it wasn't obvious, I want to continue attacking the parasites after dealing with my Bellators. The Bellators are NOT to attack the parasites. I have some of my Mountwyrm Bellators take to the skies to keep an eye on the parasites and warn cities in advance if they looks like they're going to be hit.

EDIT: In order for them to stay in the air for longer periods of time, they are permitted to not remove their armour for the assignment, leaving it at the castle. It's not like it's helping prevent infection, anyway.

Propagate Nature Spirits by 3E. Some will inhabit space (there's a lot of matter floating in space, so even if it won't be filled to the brim with Spirits it'll still have a lot, eventually), both suns, both gas giants, ALL of the moons (the ones orbiting the gas giants and the ones orbiting Keshan and Slytha), and there will be enough in the river (the one that Malik couldn't stop from flooding) that they will be able to stop its flooding with their nature magic. Something I may have forgot to mention is that Nature Spirit-spawning happens at a fixed rate regardless of how old or big the natural feature is.

Propose that the Slythan sun be made anti-Void, the same way the Keshan dust ring is. Since this is a grand action, ALL gods must contribute to this proposal if it passes.

No matter. I have doubts as to your ability to stop them that easily, as you said the same two ticks ago. At this point, we need a broader approach.

Additionally, Viminal seems to be powerful enough at purifying to undo Void contracts about constructing things...not very quickly, though. Nonetheless, this is good.

You're the only one coming up with ideas publicly.

We need to learn more about the Void, as I keep saying, so I propose the following:

The committee to study the Void is the only entity able to do so, and it must always have at least three gods sitting in(on?) it. Gods on the committee will rotate every three ticks, either at random, by lottery or by vote. The gods on the committee must study the void at least once per tick, costs - if any - to be shared amongst them. They must publicly announce their findings. Any gods that have done private research into the Void must also reveal the entirety of what they know of the Void.

Any objections or modifications?

I would also like to point out a dust ring is not a sun. One is galactic detritus trapped in a gravity well, the other is a nuclear engine fueling existence. I would appreciate that you do some research, perhaps by doing this small-scale in a private plane, before you mess with life itself.

At least my policy of "Do specifically anti-Void things in the hopes of countering their efforts" is better than Fusil's "Ignore them and hope they'll be really, really nice and will start leaving us alone." Some things work and other things don't. My idea to block their magic didn't work. Maybe my next idea will. All I know is that I'm the only one coming up with ideas."

"Throwing around stupid ideas doesn't help anyone. Some evidence suggests that you actively verbally threatening the Void followers was a factor in the recent summoning attempt. In other words, you actions aren't just stupid and pointless, but making things worse. You can't just try stupid things. Why don't you just keep flying into the sun? That seemed to have been your best idea so far. At least it wasn't counter productive."

Quote

"Enchanting such things would not be able to remove Void Influence from the entire planet. It takes an entire dust ring just to remove Void Influence from Keshan at its current rate. Combining anti-Void enchantment with the raw power of the sun is the only option we have at removing Void Influence with any decent amount of speed, preventing all but the most powerful of Void spells from being made manifest, and depowering such spells to the point where its effects can be easily negated by other means."

"No, it doesn't. You are being stupid again. Like I said, magic properties are separate from physical ones in cases like this. There is absolutely zero reason a sun would be more effective than any other object. Even if it was as effective as you think it would be, it would do nothing to prevent large void ceremonies or magic."

Quote

The committee to study the Void is the only entity able to do so, and it must always have at least three gods sitting in(on?) it. Gods on the committee will rotate every three ticks, either at random, by lottery or by vote. The gods on the committee must study the void at least once per tick, costs - if any - to be shared amongst them. They must publicly announce their findings. Any gods that have done private research into the Void must also reveal the entirety of what they know of the Void.

"Oppose. I don't like the Void committee and am quite happy to see its efforts come to nothing. Dealing with the Void directly is stupid in every way, there is no reason to do it when we have much safer ways. Trying to reveal what we know of the Void will simply bring a lot of false information from people like the God of Blood who think they know things that they don't."

Any objections or modifications?

"I'm starting to like you. Let's see, now. First of all, I think that committee members should join of their own free will. Studying the Void could be hazardous to one's health, after all. To provide incentive to join the committee, the gods will be granted 1E every Tick to be subsidised by the other gods (the discount should kick in). Every three Ticks, each of the gods in the committee must show proof of their study or else be voted off the committee by the other gods. There's no way to enforce the rule that all private research must be shared with the other gods, unfortunately. If this committee proposal passes, I'd be willing to organise all research into a single document for viewing."

"Why would they know? Up to date, they have not had any kind of knowlage on mass killings, no more so than I have of a bunch of weapons being produced."

(I'm thinking they would get an announcement from GM like "Hey! This thing is detrimental to life! You would intrinsically know this because your spheres are aligned in such a way!" Really, though, I think all gods should have that kind of knowledge of their actions. We're not Humans, after all, we're nigh-omniscient, transcendent beings of pure creation. It's rather unfortunate that we (pl.) are just Humans though, so these kinds of things need to be told to us.)

"Still against. Essence discount doesn't work like that, or we would have infinite essence essentially. We can't turn three essence to five.

(There you go making dangerous assumptions again. That has never happened before, and it will probably never happen. There is no reason to assume that we would. We are NOT nigh-omniscient. Not anywhere close, no matter how you look at it. Just because we are "Gods" does not suggest that. We are a lot more like the Greek or Roman Gods, pretty much humans who can sometimes make things. We aren't even pure creation, we are Essence. Essence is essentially *classified*)

Ohh, where to even begin?

Dust ring is slow at erasing Void influence from the planet because I wanted it to be slow. If it was burning away Void influence too quicly, Void cultists could get increasingly elaborate rituals under the radar. As it is now, the ring protects those who have nothing to do with void from ambient Void influence that is spread evrywhere by those that do have something to do with void.

Void research commitee is completely useless idea. Azem pointed out that we are screwing ourselves over with the secrecy and scheeming, and he is damn right. Go and try to cut eachothers throats in your free time, but when Void is concerned there is nothing to be lost by sharing your discoveries. Two half finishedd theories might reveal some new insight, or shed some light on how to proced with experiements further. Commitee is the same thing, but slower and more uselessly convoluted.

You can return them after a secondary cleaning, it does not guarantee that every single parasite is killed and the town is killed and a sweep should be done to finish of any that remain.

Tick 89: Multiplication of Errors

Some people who used to make Void pacts for mundane things continue to do so.

The Burning Days state that they operate transparently and were told by their founder of the Bellators. They seem to be against secrecy and subterfuge.

The Bellators have been recalled. Formerly infected Bellators' souls have been removed from their reincarnated lives and revived on the world with the castle. None of the remaining seem to be infected. The parasites are about two heads taller than the average Human. They are vicious, soulless, and seem to infect people by being near them based on observations. Hosts seem to be digested. It is difficult to draw any concrete conclusions about their intelligence. The parasites seem not to be alive.

Malakath's tutorials have received showings of countless people of various backgrounds. A substantial portion seem unable to use even the simplest of magic at all during the tutorials. There is a surprisingly high rate of assorted injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to loss of limbs or senses or even death even for near-trivial spells in those who attended.

Azxar has visited the ruined section of the kobold city and found it to be the result of a massive explosion that also produced extreme heat. He has begun swinging his scimitar wildly around the survivors, commanding them to hurry and clean up.

Melyssa has created Ulthon, a warhammer similar to Azxar, and given it to the self-torturer with a promotion to Second Archfiend.

KI'Tork's investigation turns up much the same information Azxar's investigation provided.

The Saints hav begun a relief service for the Kobolds, supplying food and shelter.

The Lich has been sighted destroying many parasite beasts.

Fortuna's game continues with Fortuna drawing J♦, K♥, and Q♣. The man draws 3♠, 4♥, and 9♠.
"Would you settle for a draw in exchange for my devotion?"
The bandits offer to get back to work in exchange for a boon from Fortuna. Some mines have run into pockets of incredibly valuable minerals.

The Lunagee has begun purging parasites with modest success.

Raptil has awakened!

(Wire and Giant Lightbulb: 22E)

Malakath has reformed blood bonds, continued to attack the creatures with moderate success, and propagated Nature Spirits by 3E. Those that attempt to inhabit space around Keshan seem to die quickly. The flooding river has finally stopped flooding.

Darruth has created 3M sentinels and sent them to war with the parasites. Reports indicate that they are also fairly successful. Cleansing appears not to work on the creatures.

Malakath has begun evacuating nearby towns.

Darruth has assigned the Guardian Angels and Templars to containing the parasites.

Agents of the CKG Institute in strange garb have been seen destroying the parasites with "mechanical dragons" with limited success.

Fusil's method, whatever it is, seems to be very successful but seems to be as unwieldy as having a band of traveling musicians moving from town to town. Much monster death occurs with minimal structural damage, and the streets end up mostly dry and easily cleaned. Perhaps the legends of The Janitor are true?

Malakath has teleported as many parasites as possible with 1E and magic to an isolated, barren area and incinerated them and hidden in her plane. The Bellators have returned to their castle.

(Suns as better anti-Void engines: For certain specific applications, yes.)

(Warnings for spheres: This is a tricky one, what with the constant violations going on. Would I really want to take the risk of having a messy fight spilling over into OOC?)

(Gods worshipping gods: This is incredibly silly! (but it might be a nice mechanic for a spin-off))

This update's constellations are the Ring and Horse. Solar activity continues to be slightly elevated for the Slythan sun.

Fortuna

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 10, 2015, 10:46:44 am

Fortuna's game continues with Fortuna drawing J♦, K♥, and Q♣. The man draws 3♠, 4♥, and 9♠.
"Would you settle for a draw in exchange for my devotion?"

No. I was illustrating your folly in believing that you could defeat me, the god of Luck, in a game of chance.

I can ensure that you retain your ageless luck in return for that devotion and becoming a missionary, though.

Is there anything else?

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 10, 2015, 10:46:44 am

The bandits offer to get back to work in exchange for a boon from Fortuna.

You will need to offer me something more than "getting back to work" for me to want to grant you something.

Be aware, I will not grant you anything that will directly aid you in harming another mortal being.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 10, 2015, 10:46:44 am

Some mines have run into pockets of incredibly valuable minerals.

Remind the miners and the mine owners that to maintain my favour, I desire worship and donations to my temples.

Bless any mortal that is combating the parasites with absolute luck temporarily until they finish fighting.

Visit some circuses, offering the ability to perform their more death-defying pieces correctly every time, in return for their devotion.

Listen to prayers

Malakath's tutorials have received showings of countless people of various backgrounds. A substantial portion seem unable to use even the simplest of magic at all during the tutorials. There is a surprisingly high rate of assorted injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to loss of limbs or senses or even death even for near-trivial spells in those who attended.

What in the name of the council are you showing these people, Malakath!?

The Oracle gives answers to the questions it is asked. No more. It depends entirely upon the question asked. In fact, there are several questions I would like to ask it, however, I do not have the essence to spend on such an endeavour at the current time. Speaking of which...there's some things I'd been meaning to do.

There is a surprisingly high rate of assorted injuries ranging from minor cuts and bruises to loss of limbs or senses or even death even for near-trivial spells in those who attended.

I revive those who've died and haven't reincarnated/gone to not-Heaven and return the limbs and senses to those who've lost them. The Sanatores are sent in to heal everyone else. "Attention, everyone. Another god is attempting to prevent the education of safe magic-use. For this reason, no more lessons will be held in my temples. Instead, those who are willing may learn magic in the Plane of Battle where all injuries and deaths are non-permanent."
I take a closer look at their souls while they're using magic. What's going wrong, exactly? Do they somehow have less magic than those gifted with it before the proposal passed? Are they attempting to use too-high-level spells? What exactly is causing the dismemberment? Magic overuse's symptoms basically amount to different degrees of unconsciousness and death rather than physical injuries. Are they Void worshippers?

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 10, 2015, 10:46:44 am

Some people who used to make Void pacts for mundane things continue to do so.

I ask them why they would continue making Void pacts when they can do mundane things on their own (accidents not-withstanding). Do these pacts still work?

Much monster death occurs with minimal structural damage, and the streets end up mostly dry and easily cleaned. Perhaps the legends of The Janitor are true?

I go to the Library and ask its guardians about a book on "The Janitor". Asking the guardians is probably much more efficient than simply looking for them. I read up on as many useful books on the Void as I can.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 10, 2015, 10:46:44 am

Those that attempt to inhabit space around Keshan seem to die quickly.

I close my eyes and concentrate. Using my godly intuition/sixth sense/whatever, I determine why they're dying near Keshan. Regardless of if that works or not, I ask those who died about what exactly happened. I made them so they'd almost certainly have worshipped me as their prime deity and as such would've gone to Heaven.

You are very quick to assume that another god is involved in these catastrophic failures, Malakath, god of Magic.

Perhaps lifting the limitations on magic use so quickly was yet another of your foolish ideas? Perhaps not all mortals have the capacity to deal with magic use, suggested by the range of injuries they seem to be experiencing?

Whatever the reason, I would hope that you're willing to back-track on your revelation to the mortals, and your baseless blanket accusation that another god is behind this, should your investigation prove fruitless.

You seem to be forgetting a fairly critical change between your previous experience with magic and now: there are no restrictions on magic anymore.

Ergo, the argument that "it was never like this before" is invalid, because it's no longer what it was like.

Consider the restrictions on magic like a dam. If you remove the dam completely, instantaneously, the water that it was holding back is now rushing forward, destroying everything in its path. This is what I think is happening with magic at the moment.

Also, your argument, which I'm paraphrasing, that "gods have been bastards before, so they'll probably be bastards again" is a bit foolish. It may well be that they will continue to be bastards, but you need some proof that that it's a god being a bastard in this instance, otherwise you just sound like you're making excuses. I'm not saying that it isn't someone being a bastard, but you should at least explore other avenues before coming to that conclusion, sans evidence.

((Excuse the excessive swearing, I'm tired so I can't come up with a more eloquent way of saying it :D))

"That is not at all what's going on. A more apt analogy is this: there is a gate barring access to a river. Some people are allowed to pass through the gate and drink water - mages. Most people, though, aren't allowed to pass through the gate - non-mages. Suddenly, everyone was given a pass and they decided to drink water from the river. Unfortunately, someone decided to poison the river and now everyone who's drinking from it is dying. This analogy is even better when you consider that previously, the only danger the river posed is accidentally falling in and drowning - overusing magic and burning out your soul. You can still do that now but you're more likely to die by the poison - suddenly bleeding and getting injured for no reason."

Unfortunately, someone decided to poison the river and now everyone who's drinking from it is dying. This analogy is even better when you consider that previously, the only danger the river posed is accidentally falling in and drowning - overusing magic and burning out your soul. You can still do that now but you're more likely to die by the poison - suddenly bleeding and getting injured for no reason."

That's assuming that magic comes solely ((hoho)) from the soul. I would find it hard to believe that Void-worshipers are selling their soul in order to help clean the dishes. I would hope that the mortals are a little more intelligent than that.

The constellations of both worlds also influence magic to some degree, else why would they be there?

In the council rules, even: 03.06.1: Make magical constellations that influence magic on the worlds. You could infer from this that there is also some degree of natural magic, given that this happened quite early in creating things.

Now, I will add to this that I don't know to what degree the restriction on magic actually restricted magic. But if it was a big enough restriction, then it would stand to reason that a mortal suddenly finding they can use magic could actually hurt themselves quite significantly because they're body just can't bear the power. What we find happening only strengthens this opinion, for me.

Also, your argument, which I'm paraphrasing, that "gods have been bastards before, so they'll probably be bastards again" is a bit foolish. It may well be that they will continue to be bastards, but you need some proof that that it's a god being a bastard in this instance, otherwise you just sound like you're making excuses. I'm not saying that it isn't someone being a bastard, but you should at least explore other avenues before coming to that conclusion, sans evidence.

((Excuse the excessive swearing, I'm tired so I can't come up with a more eloquent way of saying it :D))

Quote from: Andres on January 11, 2015, 12:01:32 am

"The idea that a god is responsible is the most likely theory. The only other credible theory is the one where simply using magic is resulting in these injuries, which evidence is actively proving against based on the types of injury. As for exploring other avenues, that's what I'm doing right now. Maybe you want to help?"

EDIT: "If your dam theory was correct, we'd see a great many people burning their souls out rather than getting physically injured."

You seem to have a habit of assuming something is one way, and then refusing to shift from that position. I'm telling you that the rules of magic have changed, because there is now no restriction on its use. You can no longer say that what you know about magic is correct, because the rules are different now.

I appreciate that I'm making assumptions of myself here, but I'm basing it on what's actually happening now. We changed the rules on magic by lifting restrictions, and now people are getting hurt. It may not be cause and effect, but there is definitely a correlation between the two.

Further, this is a mess, of your creation, whether or not you believe as much. Why would I want to help? You announced yourself as the god of Magic, so basically any help I give you is only going to benefit you through more worship. I would literally gain nothing from helping you pro bono, whereas you get a significant long-term gain: every mortal can now use magic, so potentially every mortal is going to be interested in worshiping you because of this. That is a massive potential in Essence, all of which would goes to you.

Thus, I won't help without significant compensation. This does not include a "oh hey, Fortuna helped me fix the magic problem, go say thanks!" because, of the two of us, the fact you can influence magic is going to be much more appealing to potential worshipers.

"That "natural magic" is actually entirely artificial and produced by the gods. Aside from things made magic explicitly by the gods, nothing has magic unless it has a soul. As for the restrictions, that is simply incorrect. The only restriction placed was in preventing most people from using magic. Overusing magic doesn't affect the body at all, normally, it just affects the soul. The problem here is that using magic - ANY magic - is damaging the body. Simply having magic doesn't harm people. If your theory was correct, then at the very least this would be a widespread issue. If you read the report closely, though, you'll see that only those attending the sessions are getting injured. Therefore, simply having magic isn't bad, but using it is."

"Now, I find it highly unlikely that literally everyone who just got magic is visiting my temples. Some will probably just want to use their new abilities at home. These people aren't dropping dead - only those attending my sessions are. This isn't merely the effects of the new rules, it's a deliberate attack against me and against innocent people."

Besides, many of these people aren't my followers - they're just people who wanted to know how to use magic safely."

Why don't you tell them they won't get any help because their own god can't be arsed and do something herself, and is instead trying to get other gods to do the work of looking after her followers for her?

Your followers are your responsibility, Malakath. Otherwise, why should they follow you? And as much as I would love to do your job for you so you can faff about with Blood Magic and pet projects, I'm a bit preoccupied, what with the giant parasites and the death and the plagues and accusations of warmongering and all.

And as for truly believe: Truly believe that you are a god worth following and devoting their life to, rather than just a force that gives them stuff if they compliment it regularly.

And besides all of that: You don't get to try and define how I act by using my mission as a leash. I know what Good is. I know what it entails. It is impossible to be perfectly good, but by all that is holy, I do my damnedest to come as close as I can. And you? You don't define what that is. You don't choose how I go about fulfilling it.

No longer worth calling "God of greed" but still strugling to escape "God of bad decisions" title, eh Malkath? I suspect oracle will say something along the lines of "Because your efforts are being obstructed", usefullnes drops drasticly when you give oracle a chance.

If there still are parasites in the wild (as in:Not in a lab somwhere) teleport them into the sun.
Listen to some prayers.

Post by: Kilojoule Proton on January 12, 2015, 02:32:53 am

Tick 91: Projection of bleakness

A new megabeast has arisen. It is a tusked wolf made entirely of ice.

Many books about self-help have appeared evertwhere recently.

The Saints have begun a relief service for the Kobolds, supplying food and shelter.

KI'Tork has investigated the Kobold City. There is a crater containing much rubble.

Azem:
"Have you noticed the merfolk trade output increasing a lot? They also seem to be buying more metal for some reason."
"I have half of a coin now!"
"I wish for all the money in the world to be mine."

Fortuna: "Agreed, then. Surely double the luck will get me double the results!"

The bandits make a counter-offer: They will get back to work with fewer vacation days in exchange for a boon from Fortuna.

Many of the miners agree to worship you and make donations.

The parasites are mostly a non-issue now, and those still in the wild no longer pose much of a threat to civilization.

A small band of traveling entertainers has pledged devotion to Fortuna, but most of them cite the capriciousness of the L-word as a deterring factor.

"Behold! Through the Powers Above and Below, I have created the regular five-sided die!"
"Just how much more unlucky can I get? Fortuna Fortuna Fortuna Fortuna!"
"Could you bless this glove?"

Parasites eating Gruen Spores seem not to change appreciably. Fed enough, they seem to reproduce as typical.

Gruen eating Parasites with accelerated mutation seem to diminish to animal-level intelligence but grow much stronger and tougher on average. Parasites seem to reproduce through some sort of extremely fine infections dust when certain conditions are met.

The Gruen Drone lost against the parasite.

KI'Tork has offered instruction to his followers. Some of them also experience the assorted injuries associated with Malakath's instructional cohort.

Those who died who have not reincarnated or otherwise become inaccessible or were merely injured have been revived and healed. It seems that using magic is causing some sort of backlash manifesting itself as maiming, broken bones, deaths, and loss of various other bits.

Those who found themselves unable to use magic at all have, as might be predicted, escaped unscathed (except for the horror of seeing people randomly break their own bones). Most of them profess not to be Void worshippers. Confounding the prediction, however, is the fact that there is no statistically significant correlation between amount of magic use and severity of damage.

Dismemberment seems to be caused by having broken bones, having parts teleported off, or having parts sliced off somehow.

The Library has a few collections of folk tales from both Keshan and Slytha that mention "The Janitor." Cursory reading indicates that it is a terrifying creature with a black, almost skull-like face whose appearance can be either a terrible omen or a sign of cleansing. Illustrations are inconsistent and mostly seem to be based on its description than actual sightings.

Die-off seems to be higher on an inclined, circular, and high orbit around Keshan. Those who died report having felt very ill and almost empty.

The parasites do not bleed.

Cim's reading reveals magic, almost certainly the student's own.

Q: "Who is responsible for the alteration of how magic worked for those who attended my sessions where simply using magic now causes physical injury?"
A: "Malakath, Khaziraad, and Melyssa."

(For the record, even those who don't believe in Malakath did attend those tutorials.)

Melyssa:
"We have a nice business deal for the export of torture as a service to a nice merlord. Bless Melyssa!"
"Those idiot mages maiming themselves was hilarious!"
"Is it true that the Life Lab made the most pungent pepper in the world?"

Malakath has cancelled tutorials.

Quéßäre has created 100 dragon servants that breathe fire with a massive spread.

The few remaining parasites not contained have been teleported into the sun. They are now eradicated in the wild.

Khaziraad:
"I wish for a shrine that makes houses fall on people who use magic."
"Are you sure this city won't collapse on its own? It seems like someone could just cover all the floatstone up."
"May you help my book sell to millions!"

The battles continue to be fought, and "alliances" continue to be broken.

Raptil has made his presence known to some bands of hunters and manipulated their outcomes.

Neronmas has begun again! Many are in attendance and clamoring for the blessing of Neron. This Neronmas also introduces a variety of new foods from the many new visitors' areas of origin.

Malakath's Wyrms have been renamed to Malakath's Wyverns. Fusil's Blooddrinkers have been renamed to Fusil's n00bs.

The Lich has, in anticipation of her execution, sat on a dry chair surrounded by water in a packed town square. She holds up a diamond necklace from an old empire and burns to a pile of ashes and dust. Her soul seems to have been destroyed completely, unavailable for consumption or revival.

The Lich has been struck down!

This update's constellations are the Rose and Claw.

"Fortuna, If you really want the bandits to attack you, just use the butterfly effect. Set up the circumstances to have them attack you. You are the God of Luck, it should be easy. Make the Bandits just happen to come across a cart full of valuables (Jelly Rolls, perhaps?) that lost a wheel in the middle of the wilderness. Then increase the Bandit's desire for the goods. You will simply be attacked then."

Fortuna: "Agreed, then. Surely double the luck will get me double the results!"

Remember, you're not just astronomically lucky. You will always travel to spread knowledge of me, and increase belief. Further, you shall henceforth be known as Tycho, arbiter of Fortuna.

Do not abuse my trust, Tycho; if you refuse to proselytise in my name, you will most definitely draw my ire.

Manipulate Tycho's soul so he has a strong desire to wander. He won't be comfortable if he stays in a place longer than a few months.

Just out of curiousity, how does a low-level bandit push for more vacations days? Do they have sick-pay too?

"Almost every bandit gang has its designated lawmancer to keep them from getting into trouble. I do not approve of this behaviour, or lawmancy in general, but there are downsides to my great influence over the worlds. And yes, they do have sick-pay."

"By the way, Fortuna, know that there are forces of chance beyond luck. For example, the lack of it. Do not get too cocky and keep your hands off my assets, and maybe I won't need to stress this any further."

"Have all the Gods gone creatively sterile? It seems like a millennium since we welcomed a new major race to our worlds. There are still many niches in society left to be filled...."

I fill the Void with fine metallic powder of different kinds, used as a fuel for a variety of explosives. Among the powder I throw handfuls of SIP grenades, each of which explodes into a scarlet red orb. Once the orbs form, the blanket of metal powder begins to shift like a river. Each orb starts its own orbit, the metal spinning ever faster around it. After crashing together, the flakes and powder form coherent shapes, often cubes scarcely larger then the powder that formed them. One by one, the orbits are broken. The metallic cubes form around the orbs, making visible shapes. Some are swords, some form crossbows, others a spear. A few form more delicate and complicated items, among the swarms the forms of a beating human heart and a flexing Armu tentacle. Soon, these too break away, returning to a much more scattered orbit surrounding the orb completely. I then propagate them to 3 million, assuming that will not kill or nearly kill me. If that would, just propagate them intill I spent 20E total.

"You will be the Hovori. I have gifted you with the power to transform yourself, cosmic magic, and the ability to heal others by becoming their broken organs. You will be able to join your brothers, the Armu and the Seppo, creating cities of ASH (Armu-Seppo-Hovori). You will no doubt form close relationships when acting as a symbiotic organ, be sure to remember it is an equal one and they depend on you as a trusted ally. Good luck, I'll be protecting you."

Focus on improving quality of life for my followers, the Second Great Awakening still going on, increasing education level(particularly concerning magic), building hospitals, and, most of all I think:

Increase fertility, crop yields, reduce sickness and infant death, etc. among my followers. I want to get a population boom going if I can.

Propose that magic be made a Council-protected force. Doing so will force magic-use to have the same consequences that it always had up until recently. (Please don't Literal Genie this proposal.

KI'Tork has offered instruction to his followers. Some of them also experience the assorted injuries associated with Malakath's instructional cohort.

Only some of them? I scan them (0E) to see the difference between those who experienced the injuries and those who didn't. Do I sense any god's particular influence? My soul-sight should be able to tell if I'm being lied to (metaphysical soul theory) and should let me see if their souls have been tainted by the void (physical soul theory).

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 12, 2015, 02:32:53 am

Most of them profess not to be Void worshippers.

The report is either mistaken or misleading. Void-worshippers are entirely unable to use magic of any kind and thus wouldn't get any injury from using magic because they can't use magic. The only other explanation is that they used to worship the Void and are admitting to that.

I ask the Ikan about the space near Keshan.

"Fusil, Cim, I plan to remove all Void texts from existence unless they are in the Divine Library. This should allow us to keep our knowledge on the Void while preventing the texts' corrupting influence on mortals. Doing so will help in preventing the spread of Void knowledge among mortals, including summoning rituals. At least one of them serves as a manual for summoning powerful Void beings and Yaos died before she could remove it and all other texts from existence herself. I'm telling you this because you're the two foremost experts on the Void. Are there any problems with this plan?"

Tick 92: I Love U

There is an anomalously strong temporal quake.

A flying monkey has crashed into Fusil, screeching and thrashing and doing 2E worth of damage before disappearing!

Tycho has been named arbiter of Fortuna and been given a strong drive to wander. This does not upset him too much, surprisingly.

The bandits have been granted enough luck to find the most valuable targets not under Fortuna's protection provided that they give 10% of their gross to Fortuna. They note that they receive more than they had to give and gleefully begin their raids again.
"You mean a game like The Floor is Caltrops?"
"Does it really!? Fortuna Fortuna Fortuna!"
"This glove should be lu--ovely for our next games."
(Blessing is typically context-specific.)

Melyssa:
"We imagine so, but the torturers are having a tortuous time covering the costs of their breathing spells."

Neron:
The smartest seems to be an old researcher at NUKE working on making the perfect bitter bean tea.
The bravest seems to be a lone Rani who patrolled the wilderness to make sure this celebration's forest lanterns are not fire-based.
The wisest seems to be a quiet, respected town elder.
The kindest seems to be a Shadow Raven who randomly drops coins on people.

Fusil has created 60 000 Hovori and split them in half between Keshan and Slytha.

Joha:
"Are we now trapped between the Void minions below and the Void minions above?"
"Someone has stolen our entire pepper garden!"
"Why is magic not working properly?"

KI'Tork has performed many miracles to convert followers and been given 10E by Neron, a unit of which overflowed.

An obscure Merfolk noble seem to have ordered 666 *iron statues*. Perhaps if they had ordered a less easily corroded metal, this bizarre trade would not have had to happen. The Merfolk as a whole seem to be doing very well.

Darruth has created the Avatars. Emphasis has been placed on improving quality of life for Darruthians through education, medical constructions, increased fertility in general, increased crop yields, reduced sickness, and reducd infant mortality.

The Wolf-people have constructed their church.

(Literal Genie on my part is not something either you (pl.) or I can control. It is an unfortunate subjective and involuntary consequence of how I tend to read things and not trivial to avoid or switchable. Telling me to avoid it is a placebo at best in light of this fact. You should be more concerned about your fellow players interpreting it in interesting ways with actual malevolent intentions.)

The diference between those who received injuries and those who didn't is just that: The fact that they received injuries. No particular god seems to have influenced this. The Void is probably not involved.

The report was misleading because the intended antecedent was "those who cannot use magic."

The Ikan are upset that it seems to be tainted again after so many years of the cleaning ring working well. As usual, they distrust outsiders.

Oracle:
Q: "Have I, Melyssa, intentionally manipulated magic, so that all mages would get hurt?"
A: "No."

Encourage worshipers with the building skills to expand them to include dormitories and cleaning facilities, if they're not already available.

Also, Raptil, if you do decide to create your own race of hunters, would you mind awfully donating some of the meat from successful hunts to my temples, in return for more luck in hunting expeditions?

Whilst there is a significant luck factor involved in hunting, the hunter's own skill is arguably more important. If hunters start to rely too much upon luck, they may neglect their own skills, which could be detrimental in the long term. So for now, I must decline your offer.

Melyssa teaches the Flagellants ways to make their water-breathing easier/cheaper.

I am sorry to say I am unfamiliar with your worshipers methods, but would self-torture be something in which they indulge?

If so, you could allow them to breathe in water, but retain the hugely painful sensation of drowning.

Propose that magic be made a Council-protected force. Doing so will force magic-use to have the same consequences that it always had up until recently. (Please don't Literal Genie this proposal.

"Fusil, Cim, I plan to remove all Void texts from existence unless they are in the Divine Library. This should allow us to keep our knowledge on the Void while preventing the texts' corrupting influence on mortals. Doing so will help in preventing the spread of Void knowledge among mortals, including summoning rituals. At least one of them serves as a manual for summoning powerful Void beings and Yaos died before she could remove it and all other texts from existence herself. I'm telling you this because you're the two foremost experts on the Void. Are there any problems with this plan?"

"Yes. I thought I made it clear many times before that the Void texts are one of the few ways we can have knowlage on the Void without dealing with it directly. Do you not understand this either?

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 13, 2015, 08:47:04 am

The smartest seems to be an old researcher at NUKE working on making the perfect bitter bean tea.
The bravest seems to be a lone Rani who patrolled the wilderness to make sure this celebration's forest lanterns are not fire-based.
The wisest seems to be a quiet, respected town elder.
The kindest seems to be a Shadow Raven who randomly drops coins on people.

"I have chosen my first four gifts of Neronmas!"
The old NUKE researcher shall gain the intelligence and ingredients needed to create this bitter bean tea.

The brave Rani shall return to her home town to find it being threatened by a massive wolf, taking up an old sword she shall slay the beast and the townspeople shall be thankful and make her their town leader, the story of her victory shall go down into the legends, teaching future Rani children to be brave.

The wise town elder shall be given a staff, covered in strange runes, when she raises the staff above her head everyone nearby shall go silent, allowing her to talk.

The kind Shadow Raven shall be given a magic bag of coins, every time time he gives one coin another shall appear in the bag.

Search for the poorest and saddest of my followers in the crowds.

"I agree. The purpose would be to limit mortal access to the Void and its corruption, but destroying all the current texts wouldn't help much with that anyway. The Null can sometimes, somehow, calculate the Churn trajectories for objects other than themselves and send them to Bubbles. How do you think the texts came here in the first place, Malakath?

"First, you should probably know that current records suggest that it is indirectly your fault for the summoning plan, which seems to have not come to fruition yet. Second, as Cim said, they would simply be replaced. Probably in larger number then they where destroyed. We need the texts, inside the library and out, to better deal with the Void without having to resort to consorting with them as the Silvermother did.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Day 1: I ask Lati about how she dealt with the Void and go to sleep.
Night 1: I interpret the dream to mean that she dealt with it by appearing before the king unclothed.
Day 2: I make for the capital and ask Lati more about how to defeat the Void.
Night 2: The dream is somewhat less coherent, but I interpret it to mean that she can defeat the Void by being chased down by a huge monster.
Day 3: I reach the capital and ask Lati about what weapons would be relevant for defeating the Void.
Night 3: I fly around in a space filled with sharp blades and knives.
Day 4: I sneak into the throne room, undress, and wield an array of sharp knives and ask the king about defeating the Void.
Day 137: I am released from the dungeon after mentioning the prophetic dreams and voices I hear from Lati and am transported to a dungeon with the Void-touched. I ask Lati how to cure the Void-touched.
Night 137: I see my pet alive again and then dead. I interpret this to mean that death is the only cure for these unfortunate souls.
Day 138: I mournfully eat my last meals with these poor fellows.
Night 138: I escape from my cell and kill one of the smaller Void-touched with the help of my blessed hands.
Day 139: There is a commotion. Perhaps the others sense that the end of Void dominion is near. I ask Lati to guide my hands again.
Night 139: I release another Void-touched from Void control.
Day 140: Some additional jailers have arrived. I understand now. The king has aligned himself with the Void. I must release the king.
(the last few pages are spattered with brownish splatters)

"As you can see, this Lati (possible creator of the Lahti AT rifle?) knew that with the Void Corruption of cloths, this man could never have completed his mission.

Now, lets look at what races have little corruption among them. The Golems, the Armu, the Seppo, the Gem Dragons...What do you notice about all of these races? That is right, none of them wear cloths in every day life. Dragons, tentacles, balls of metal, and large chunks of metal do not wear cloths and thus are less effected by the Void.

On the other hand, which races have shown to be the most corrupted? Humans, mostly. Humans are known to be the most cloths wearing of all the races, I don't think even one city of them would dear go without cloths! Their hairless bodies are weak to the elements. Even among the Gods, we see the ones wearing the most cloths being the most corrupted by the Void. Why, Cim even wears cloths over his eyes, and is openly speaking with them!

Is there any who can refute such an air-tight case?"

Tick 93: Recreational creation

KI'Tork has created the Anti-Sun, a blue sun that burns cold, to orbit the Ice Planet.

The bandits have agreed not to murder or assault with deadly weapons. Donations in Fortunae temples continue to rise.

Fortuna:
"But everyone loves seeing other people play The Floor is Caltrops! It's the best prank!"
Tycho has begun telling people not to mention Fortuna by name.
"Nothing much. Really."

The temples of Fortuna have been opened up to the traveling entertainers and expanded to include accomodations if they were not already available. An enterprising follower has decided to create the Mare of Vice inn and gambling house next to one. It is remembered mostly for its bright glowing welcome sign.

Melyssa has taught the Flagellants ways of making water-breathing easier or cheaper. It seems they have independently discovered a method of making it cheaper at least, but Melyssa's method, inspired by Fortuna, permits them to survive while still having the sensation of drowning. Melyssa has decided to give Fortuna 4E when Fortuna can actually hold it.

Neron has granted the NUKE researcher the knowledge and ingredients required to create it, the brave Rani a moment of heroism, the elder a staff of silencing, and the Shadow Raven an unending bag of coins. He has begun searching for a Gruen who wants to become a bag.

The poorest is a limbless, starving Rani with no money. The saddest is a fledgling who lost both parents and a grandparent to a fire.

The dust ring seems to be working as normal.

Khaziraad has announced a contest for the creation of a buildings, designs, and inventions!

Malakath's blood-drinkers are called blood-drinkers. (Duh! :P)

Fusil's blood-drinkers are called n00bs.

Nature spirits are instructed to become violent only if too much damage is done to their environment.

The frozen seed Neron planted appears to have barely sprouted.

Q: "Has the being that I identify as the goddess of Torture intentionally manipulated the system of magic-use so that magic-users would get hurt?"
A: "No."

Quéßäre's church seems to have a great altar on which the Snake of Quéßäre is embossed. Surrounding the altar are two great braziers, and at the corners of the main room are trenches with oil. Stone statues of wolves occasionally breathing fire are placed around the room. The temple is surrounded by many supporting pillars, and in front of it are two great fountains of fire.

Melyssa has doubled the number of Flagellants and created another Flagellant city. I am(/is? :P) the first one and the second one is named II.

Nature spirits are instructed to become violent only if too much damage is done to their environment.

I am ok with this.

(That was less instruction and more of a fun fact about how they act. Don't ask me why. I don't know.)

"Will no one vote on the proposal to make magic a Council-protected force? Considering the importance of magic in the universe I really think we should prevent it from being tampered with."

I ask the Burning Days about what makes them special. Are they good at fire magic? Do they have a primary god? What are their objectives?

I listen to prayers.

Create Runic Magic. The practitioners will be limited to those I approve of their use of it; such power must be kept out of the wrong hands.

Of course, of course. High entertainment, most definitely.

You put an awful lot of effort into your magnificent creation though, surely you want people to actually use it? For things other than pranks, anyway...

"Nothing much. Really."

Okay. I will bless your glove, on the proviso that you make another mortal feel exceptionally lucky, to the point they make a donation to one of my temples.

The size of their donation matters not, only that they feel like I have blessed them.

An enterprising follower has decided to create the Mare of Vice inn and gambling house next to one. It is remembered mostly for its bright glowing welcome sign.

((not really very enterprising when my temples offer both :P))

Encourage my other followers to gamble here, blessed with great luck, so it shuts down. Get someone to take down the sign as soon as this happens. ((Mare of Vice indeed, cheeky bastard.))

"Proper" is a matter of perspective, surely?

I could argue that starting a business is a form of gambling. You have no guarantee that anyone is going to actually be interested in what you're selling, and even if you do, someone else might do it better.

Further you might find that someone is "fixing the tables" in some way: fixing prices in the market; blocking access to materials that are required for their competitors; outright intimidation.

Actual gambling is just quicker, for the most part. You put money on the table - investment - and you might make the pile bigger - profit.

The poorest is a limbless, starving Rani with no money.

Neron takes some ice and carves them into arms and legs for the Rani, enchanted with runes, they will never melt and act like normal limbs. In the future she shall go to a temple of Neron to thank me, run into the kind Shadow Raven, and both of them will fall in love, get married and live a long happy life.

The fledgling shall be blessed with great skill at writing and one day become a famous writer, keeping the memory of his family alive by writing stories about them that shall be told to future children when his bones have turned to dust and all that knew him are gone.

"I don't know what you've just seen but it is most certainly not the truth if it showed your wife dying. Conversion to a Soul Weapon merely tightens the bond between you two, making the both of you more powerful. It's rather different from standard Soul Weapon creation and evolution. It also comes with the added bonus of you going to the same afterlife if one of you reincarnates and the other doesn't. Nobody dies, nobody gets negatively altered, and she can still take a Human form. Actually, the upgrade will allow her to take any medium-sized humanoid form. The only difference here is that he won't be able to produce another Soul Weapon. You can still have children, though."

(An early-morning discussion section about the first problem set of the quarter seems a bit of a silly reason to wake up early.)

Malakath: The Burning Days say their unflinching, uncompromising devotion to the protection of sapients is their specialty. They offer no comment on their abilities, say they are unaligned but against those who harm sapients or allow their creations to do so, and seek only to remove godly harm to sapients completely. They warn that reports from gods about undesirable behavior are likely to be ignored for the biases of the gods.

"Request for three blood oaths, only monetary punishment on the second, limited punishment by choral torture for the third, no soul fries."
"I own a tower and would like to know if non-exclusive service to you provides any insurance at all against property damage."
"Why is that strange mural moving? Oh god! Is it painted in blood? What is that strange little man doing with that knife?"

(Darruth: -7E)
Darruth: Darruth has created Runic magic but restricted access to it to permitted practioners.

Melyssa: Those who love to cook have been instructed to worship KI'Tork as well.

Fortuna: "Fine. I'll make some game about Melyssan architecture and giant reptiles."
"Does the luck have to be good luck?"
With divine luck, many gamble there and are pleased. Soon, a gambling house and inn of similar design named the Golden Grebe opens next door. It boasts of having a very large bath. The Mare of Vice is rapidly in decline and has been forced to shift its payout balance to compensate, losing many in the process.

Neron:
The previously limbless, starving Rani has begun traveling to the nearest temple to thank you.
The fledgling has been adopted by a somewhat poor writer couple.
"Merry Neronmas!"
"Happy Future Great Ice Age!"

Malakath and Fusil:
Shinjo cannot turn into Soul Weapons at the moment. [RETAINS]

Conversion to a Soul Weapon merely tightens the bond between you two, making the both of you more powerful. It's rather different from standard Soul Weapon creation and evolution. It also comes with the added bonus of you going to the same afterlife if one of you reincarnates and the other doesn't. Nobody dies, nobody gets negatively altered, and she can still take a Human form. Actually, the upgrade will allow her to take any medium-sized humanoid form. The only difference here is that he won't be able to produce another Soul Weapon. You can still have children, though.

The evil person proceeds to pound and kick a neighbor's door in the middle of the night. Fortuitously, there was an unnoticed fire inside which the neighbors slept through until the knocking roused the entire family. The family thanks the evil person greatly.

Nice use of the butterfly effect. I wonder why it was a secret action, though.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on December 31, 2014, 06:52:57 am

Most mortals who do want to triple their lifespan would rather use "natural" methods. Interestingly, many of them mention that a certain other god would probably subvert the tripling by adding the time seconds before death or something similarly awful. Malakath has reached the quota for Keshan and Slytha, but the Mumans, Gruen, and Armu on Muma leave something to be desired. For the Mumans, old age is seen as a luxury reserved for those wealthy enough to avoid mine duty.

How about this: the more you age, the faster you do (once adulthood is reached). That way, they get to enjoy the best part of their lives as much as they can while they suffer the worst parts for as little as possible.
What quota?
Obviously, this is just another case of the entrenched bourgeoisie oppressing and exploiting the working class proletariat. This calls for a revolution! I officially abolish mining in that area and allow the common man to try their old masters in whatever way they see fit.

Quote from: Andres on December 29, 2014, 04:00:32 am

"I'd like to ask permission before I do, but is it ok with you if were to create some weapon spirits? I'm thinking about making one for myself and maybe some for my angel priests. Since weapon spirits are kind of your thing I'm just trying to make sure I'm not crossing a line here."

Quote from: Stirk on December 29, 2014, 04:58:32 am

"I do not care what you create, if it is based off my design or no."

Well alrighty then.

I create the Soul Item - a manifestation of a branched soul. These Soul Items come in two flavours - Soul Weapons and Soul Protectors.
[#spoiler=Soul Weapons]After a person becomes proficient in the use of a weapon or several weapons, his soul will branch out and create a new soul. This soul will remain attached to the person and will be tightly bound to it through its life and its death. The person will manifest this soul as the weapon that they can be the most skilled with (determined by a combination of fate, genes, and other what-nots) regardless of whatever weapon they've become proficient with.

The weapons that these Weapons can manifest as are unique in appearance to any other weapon (small cosmetic stuff like colour, engravings, and small variations in shape, usually). The only thing they are limited by is technology level and this is where it gets a bit interesting.

If a person can be most skilled with a musket but muskets haven't been invented yet, then the Weapon will turn into the weapon its user can be second most skilled in. This could be something similar in size and application like a crossbow or it could be entirely different like a spear. Once muskets become invented, though, the Weapon will take the form of the musket and remain that way forever. If the technology for the invention of muskets is there but they just haven't been invented, the user will begin having visions and dreams related to it. Weakly at first but as time goes on these visions become stronger and stronger and are meant to compel the user to invent the weapon themselves. Usually, though, the weapon would simply be invented before the user's visions become clear enough to adapt to real life.

There are a few differences between Shinjo and Soul Weapons. The easiest way to differentiate the two is to imagine the Shinjo as seeds that a person makes grow by caring for them until they have matured into trees. A Soul Weapon is like a tree whose trunk has split into two parts that tightly twirl around each other. While Shinjo are basically Human souls, Soul Weapons have their own unique souls. Finally, Soul Weapons are sexless, can only manifest as weapons, do not form any kind of romantic attraction, and do not reproduce.

When a user has no need for the Soul Weapon, it can simply unmanifest it and it'll be absorbed back into the user's body. The user can freely manifest and unmanifest its Soul Weapon at will.

In some cases, the weapon a user can be most skilled at isn't a singular weapon but rather dual weapons or possibly even tri weapons, quad weapons, or more! (Depends from race to race and person to person. For a Human, it's usually dual at most but for an Armu that number would probably be higher.) In such a case, the Soul Weapon will branch into more souls, all just as sapient as the last. The number of Soul Weapons attached to a user cannot be higher than the amount of Weapons his best weapon requires. The variation of how powerful these dual weapons are is just as high as those for singular weapons.

While the raw power of a Soul Weapon is dependent on the user's devotion to Fusil, the refined power and the ability to communicate with the Weapon increases based on devotion to Malakath as these two attributes are dependent on soul-soul connection rather than weapon-user connection. Thus, devotion to Fusil will increase a weapon's sharpness or projectile velocity or whatnot while devotion to Malakath allows for greater weapon handling, aiming, and the possibility of communication with the Weapon. In the latter case, its entirely possible that the Weapon could end up training its user on how best to use it. Devotion to either or both of these entities - as well as the user's dependence on weapons in general - covers the cost of creation of these beings.

Soul Weapons are always mundane and can only be mundane.[#/spoiler]
[#spoiler=Soul Protectors]To balance it out (YOU'RE WELCOME, KLI), Soul Protectors are made as well with similar rules but devotion is based on Malakath and Darruth rather than Malakath and Fusil and that relies on the user being proficient on defensive things like shields and armour. These beings instead take the form of armour and shields. instead of dual-wielding, the Protector can instead manifest freely as a shield (or two) and/or armour. That's right - AND/OR. It can simultaneously be armour and a connected shield. Thus, these beings are always singular. There is never more than one Soul Protector per user.

Unlike Soul Weapons, Soul Protectors are not forced to adhere to the "best" they could possibly be. They can change material composition (bronze, iron, kevlar, etc.), structural composition (plate, scale, chain, etc.), and coverage.

Technology is still an issue. If kevlar hasn't been invented yet or smiths don't know how to make good plate armour, the Protector will not be able to access these materials and types of armour. Other than the rules covered in the above paragraph, technology rules function the same as Soul Weapons.

Each Protector is unique and is thus cosmetically unique. This is reflected in preferred style, colour, and engraving.

Devotion to Darruth increases the maximum amount of area the Protector can cover (never more than 100% protection to the user), the strength of the material (material type still matters, though), and the weight of the Protector's manifestation(s). Devotion to Darruth increases the speed at which the armour changes in terms of both material and structural composition, and the ability to move in the armour with more devotion meaning less hindrance, as well as the usual communication between Soul Protector and user.

Soul Protectors are always mundane and can only be mundane.[#/spoiler]

This is not something you would say to a god - a being of ultimate power and creation - unless you were very powerful, very stupid, or very suicidal.

To picture how it would work in real life, I suggest you do what I sometimes do: jump off your computer for a bit, "reacquaint" yourself with the world, then imagine God deciding to come down and talk to YOU of all the billions of people in the world. Now imagine telling him to not bother you while you're watching a rerun of House. It's not very realistic, is it?

Sure the gods in this universe interact with the world much more commonly but you have to put yourself in the shoes of someone who lives there. Most people - especially of this tech level - are unlikely to ever see a god or witness them performing works, let alone actually speak to one. Yes we talk to a lot of people but that amount numbers about fifty at the very most every century but there are millions of people in the world.

This has been on my mind for a while. It is a critique of how you handle NPCs and I hope you don't hold me against it.

Malakath: The Burning Days say their unflinching, uncompromising devotion to the protection of sapients is their specialty. They offer no comment on their abilities, say they are unaligned but against those who harm sapients or allow their creations to do so, and seek only to remove godly harm to sapients completely. They warn that reports from gods about undesirable behavior are likely to be ignored for the biases of the gods.

"Why is that strange mural moving? Oh god! Is it painted in blood? What is that strange little man doing with that knife?"

I'll let my High Priest handle it.
"It does not, but neither does exclusive service. I am a goddess, not an insurance saleswoman."
Seems I forgot to mention a little, Essence-free thing that my divine blood added to the mural. It changes its colours into beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow that seem to almost shine when in sunlight or under a blood moon. Due to me actually paying for the effect, the mural brings the souls of those who look at it at peace so the person's response to seeing the mural is odd, especially considering its high-quality artistry. I bless the person for calling me "god". What is that strange little man doing with the knife? Who is the strange little man?

Veto. If necessary, spend Essence to ensure the veto.

Also, gods are neither omnipotent nor omniscient nor indeed anywhere near either. And particularly if you have the protection of a god to back you up and you aren't particularly bright, I see no reason a mortal wouldn't be a smartass to a god. Sidenote; Vetoes don't actually do anything unless you can spend something to enforce them. They aren't magical buzzwords that auto-prevent things you don't like. In fact, typically all they do is make whatever it is more expensive for the other party if you don't spend Essence to enforce it.

With divine luck, many gamble there and are pleased. Soon, a gambling house and inn of similar design named the Golden Grebe opens next door. It boasts of having a very large bath. The Mare of Vice is rapidly in decline and has been forced to shift its payout balance to compensate, losing many in the process.

Set up a gaming commission type thing. All gambling halls are encouraged to join, and the list of them will be contained in all of my temples. Any gambling hall in either world is eligible to be added to the list.

Spoiler: Gaming Commission (click to show/hide)

The rules are as follows: - All gambling halls on the list will run fair games, with the minimal house-edge in all their games.

- No fixing of the games in any capacity, either via things like sleight-of-hand or loaded equipment

- A small temple of Fortuna must be be present in the gambling hall, easily accessed by patrons who wish to leave a donation.

- Names of the gambling hall must portray either luck or gambling in a positive or neutral light.

- If any of these rules are not followed, the owners and dealers/croupiers of the gambling hall will be cursed with extreme bad luck, until they are out of business. After this point, the curse will be removed, and their luck will return to normal. The name of these gambling halls will be added to a section entitled "Cash Cows" to inform patrons of the situation.

Check up on Tycho. How is he doing, does he need anything, any concerns?

Attend some shows of the traveling entertainers that worship me. Make sure they have the necessary luck to complete their shows safely, and spectacularly.

It's alchemy all over again. We had three types of alchemy, now we will have three types of rune magic. Restricting magic to a group is also nothing new.


(As for mortals blastheming against gods, when it comes to a timescale of most mortals, divine miracles are few and far inbetween. They do not believe that we have the time of day to smite them, and if we did, chances are we would be validating their claims against us. Our presense is further diluted by our methods. We would hardly manifest for comuning with mortals, usualy speaking through dreams visions and whispers. All of which could be replicated by a competent magician. I personaly do not care too much, as it does not reduce efectiveness of mesage one bit.)

Adding to what the others said, this *is* a weapon we are talking about. Weapons are not exactly known for having a surplus of fear. Especially not when you are already threatening her soul, by attempting to transform it into something that it isn't and doesn't want to be.

(Good point on the weapon thing. I'm not threatening her and I'm not attempting anything yet. I'm offering something with no drawbacks and great rewards. She doesn't want to be what I'm offering because she thinks there's penalties or a price to be paid or something when there really isn't.)

(As for mortals blastheming against gods, when it comes to a timescale of most mortals, divine miracles are few and far inbetween. They do not believe that we have the time of day to smite them, and if we did, chances are we would be validating their claims against us. Our presense is further diluted by our methods. We would hardly manifest for comuning with mortals, usualy speaking through dreams visions and whispers. All of which could be replicated by a competent magician. I personaly do not care too much, as it does not reduce efectiveness of mesage one bit.)

(If we have the time of day to talk to them then we have the time of day to smite them, even if that just means punching them in the face. We can very easily manifest for communing with mortals considering that we can very easily manifest for actually going down to the Corporeal Realm and fighting giant bug parasites.)

Neron takes the form of a Golem, but changes it, transforming its skin to ice and removing that dreadfully hot core. He instead replaces the core with a Soul Orb, a small sphere made of ice that holds Blue Fire within it. Rather than deal with fire and metal, Neron gives them a love of the ice and sky, guiding them to construct towering cities of ice into the beautiful shadow and cold of the sky. The Ice Golems to not need normal food, but instead absorb Blue Fire from the planets core to energize themselves, although they do enjoy eating normal food simply for the taste.

To reproduce Ice Golems must simply carve a new Soul Orb, fill it with Blue Fire and leave it near the Great Light Bulb for around a day. After one day a body must be created for the new Ice Golem. The Ice Golem is born with the intelligence of a young adult human.

Propagate the Ice Golems to 1,000 and place half them on each side of the ice planet

No it hasn't. This is completely new, I actually did create it, it's actually rather specific, and no you aren't letting random people have access to it. So, uh, this'll be the first time I ever say this, I think, because it's the first time I've ever been in a position to enforce it. (also, was the fact that it cost me Essence not enough evidence fr you?) By the way, I'm not just doing this to be a dick. The power in Rune Magic means I don't want some mortal accidentally or maliciously blowing up a planet.

(I'm guessing the details of your version of Rune Magic was sent in secret to the GM? Because if it's not special and it's just enchanted runes or something then Imma riot.)

((It was indeed. And I will tell you this because it'd be easy enough to find out anyway: it's called rune magic because in order to use it you need to get intricate, extensive, expensive(what? magical ink isn't easy to get), and painful(sorry, but tattoos are painful.

Post by: Andres on January 15, 2015, 07:38:00 pm

(First of all, there are only two types of alchemy. GM thought that there were three: potion-making, equivalent exchange, and FMA. The latter two are one and the same, leaving only FMA and potion-making. To differentiate between potion-making alchemy and FMA alchemy, potion-making alchemy shall now be called either "potion-making", "potionry", or simply "potions". FMA alchemy will be called "alchemy". Simple!)

Spoiler: Potions (click to show/hide)

Potion-making is the creation of potions. There are two main branches of potion-making: simple and ingredient. Simple potion-making is simply the application of Enchantment and at least one other branch of magic to a liquid/food/other (from hereon we'll go with liquid) to give it special properties when consumed.* To craft a potion of fire resistance, for example, a combination of Enchantment magic will be needed to provide the enchantment (apply to [object], resistance against [substance]) and Elemental magic to designate [substance] as [fire].

Ingredient potion-making relies on Universal magic more than Enchantment magic quite a bit more since the emphasis here isn't so much on creating an effect but more bringing out the effects of things already present. Since these effects differ for each ingredient and you want these ingredients to work together, Universal magic will work best.

*Any liquid will do. Water is the "vanilla" liquid since it's rather plain in inherent effect but things like beer will work just as well, though the imbiber should beware that he'll still get drunk from it.

Spoiler: "Old" Runic Magic (click to show/hide)

This is the use of runes associated with certain things to enchant thing or enhance spells and is a branch of Enchantment magic. With runic enchantment, it has the benefit or making the enchantment slightly more powerful and more resistant to attempts to disenchant it, though runic enchantments are less flexible in terms of application than "free" enchantments. Runes can also be used to enhance cast spells. For example, runic magic is very useful in Ritual magic as it provides stability and power to certain parts of the spell.

I went and described potion-making because it'll help to understand tattoo magic.

Spoiler: Tattoo Magic/ "New" Runic Magic (click to show/hide)

This is the practice of tattooing or carving (depends on body type) magical runes into a person's body. This branch of magic takes from runic magic and ingredient potionry.

First, tattoo ink is prepared using potionry. The ink used must match the runes they'll be used to make or there could be serious consequences.** For example, creating ink that provides a boost to ice magic and tattooing a rune of fire with it is a bad idea.

The ink is then tattooed onto a person in the shape of the desired rune. This does pretty much nothing except enchant the skin that's directly been tattooed on. Conflicting ingredients and rune isn't an issue yet. To do a proper tattoo enchantment, the tattoo's magic must be attached at the soul level. The more powerful the attachment, the more powerful the enchantment. Soul/tattoo-attachment is similarly painful to the physical pain of receiving the tattoo but the pain increases as the enchantment is made more powerful. Soul damage in this case is unlikely unless the power of the enchantment is too much for the strength of the soul or the enchanter isn't competent enough.

The dangers of incompatible ink and rune symbol will now take effect if there are any. If there aren't, then the enchantment is considered a success. The enchantment will provide a boost to any spell that uses the enchantment without needing any more mana*** than normal. The amount of boost it gives is relative to the strength of the enchantment.

**At best, the body will reject the tattoos and expel the ink. This process is rather painful to the tattooed. At worst, the tattooed person's soul will either be burned out or ripped apart, depending on the combination of ink ingredients, drawn runes, and power of enchantment. Between the best and worst cases, the person's soul will attempt to reject the conflicting and destructive magic it's being forced under. If it fails, see above. If it succeeds, the body can begin to expel the ink. The soul may get damaged during this time.

***Think of mana not as water in a water bottle, but rather as current in electricity. It's the flow of magic(soul energy) rather than magic itself. Too high mana-usage causes soul burnout, just as too much current burns out a light bulb.

Untold catastrophe, the likes of which we cannot imagine. You know, if a Corpse-God tries to dump himself into it in the form of energy, just like he could blow up a planet by doing the same thing.

I also think it could be a great help to the world, or simply useful. One of my largest reasons for creating it is actually to lay down the infrastructure for a race I wish to create that will by necessity be somewhat reliant on them.

And as of creating them, until I set up the system for Geomancy, I don't believe -and I full acknowledge I could and likely am wrong on this count- that anyone could use the magic directly. What I'm more confident of is that in order to use it one would have be a trained mage, and, well...your mages were not trained.

My thanks for your rather unexpected support, Fusil. I am, of course, interested in what alternatives those might be, but I am under no illusions as to you not telling me. Which is only fair, I suppose.

"Unlike some other gods I am fully prepared to compromise. I will remove my veto of ley line creation if it adheres to a few rules."

• Ley lines must slowly and randomly move. I really don't like the idea of a few places simply being "better" for no good reason. This way it'll work like how the constellations used to and provides decent yin-yang with them.
• Ley line magic cannot be accessed at all except by trained "leymancers" (what you call "geomancers") trying to access it on purpose. I don't want normal people getting burned out because they can't handle the power or dying because they accidentally used magic.

I will say this first: If you wish to make major changes to my projects, simply by threatening veto until I give in...well, that's simply unfair, to put it in what might be a childish way. For major changes to my systems, as you and your predecessor Yaos have both demanded, require some contribution to the project. However, your suggestions are not unreasonable, and so I will give you the compromise of your compromise.

I was actually planning on having them 'move' in a sense anyway, though I believe I didn't make that evident when creating them. Major intersections would likely remain the same, simply to ensure places of power and to allow structures built to utilize them do not become useless.

Second, first allow me to say this: Ley Lines cannot be utilized on accident. That will certainly be a point. Magical effects may occur naturally, but this will probably be more in line with hot water geysers of healing water or swamps of hallucinogenic gas that lets you fly than random explosions and Death Zones. Some may be dangerous, yes, but in an obvious manner, and no more than any other dangerous place on the world. And like at intersections only, where the magical energies are particularly high; a reason I wish for intersections to remain mostly the same, so that these features can be mapped and documented to utilize, avoid, or redirect their effects. However, they can be accessed by those with magical talent, and those with magical training. Does this have the chance to burn their bodies out? Possibly. I'm very foggy on that subject. But it will almost certainly not burn out their souls, since that occurs from using the soul for magic, rather than simply utilizing a separate power source. I say this because in order to train new Geomancers, the apprentice will need to be able to access the Ley Line before they are fully trained.

I will endeavor to make them in such a manner as to avoid influxes of power overpowering those who cannot control it, by making it something like a river, rather than a pressurized pipe; you can dip your cup in deep if you like, or only a little at a time. The only way you are likely to be overtaken by the current is if you are thrown in and left to sink or swim. And I'm fairly sure the only purpose someone would have for doing that would be murder or a final test of training, as I believe it would be rather complicated to force someone open to the Ley Line in that manner, and the second one would hopefully have the mentor ready to save the pupil if things went badly. I cannot control all things mortals do, sadly, and if a mentor was truly so heartless, they could do a similar sink or swim test in any case using other methods and kill their student that way as well.

Does this satisfy you, God of Souls?

Darruth looks rather amused as he says the last bit.

Why would I spend essence on something that wouldn't affect something? This isn't mean to be a pet project. It's a large addition, especially when coupled with Geomancy. And I will go through with it, because I do not require your permission.

And besides that, my issue is at heart about you believing you have the right to go about and change things you have no stake in by bullying people in a way that is arguably worse than Fusil's method of intimidation; at least his is usually threats at first, and he only does it when it actually directly affects him or his followers! Well, unless he feels insulted, but that could be argued to be affecting him. You, meanwhile, change things you don't like, oh, say, the aesthetics of by denying them the ability to do anything until they do it the way you want them to. It encourages duplicity and dishonesty by punishing gods for doing things publicly, rather than privately.

Finally, you and Yaos share a number of characteristics in common...

"Are you honestly comparing me to Fusil? Are you honestly accusing me of bullying you? I don't go around threatening other gods, their angels, and their creations just to get what I want. I don't want ley lines at all - AT. ALL. I could just veto it all and end it there but I'm trying to compromise and allow it to exist at least partially. I'll still dislike it but I'll dislike it less. I cannot overemphasise the fact that while I could just stop you from making them altogether. I'm just negotiating out of the kindness of my heart because I know how much you want this and I don't want to prevent you from doing everything - just the parts I hate the most."

"As for sharing characteristics with Yaos, it's probably not a coincidence. As I was being born (not after - during) I was eating the very soul of one of his angels and getting a flood of memories from it. It would be unlikely if that event didn't alter my personality somehow. I can't think of another reason for why I feel so comfortable in this Human form. I still wonder what my "natural" form would've been if I hadn't taken that angel's soul."

No, you couldn't. You don't have some sort of ultimate veto power. That's not how the Council works, nor is it how creating things works. You could not 'end it there'. Besides which, you haven't actually said why you don't like it, nor, as far as I can tell, do you have a reason to dislike it beyond 'it's different'. And if you don't like it, well, guess what? You aren't the one paying essence to create it, so you don't have to. To put it bluntly: it doesn't concern you. And yet you try to act as though you're in a position of authority over it. You do not get to control my creations. If I had put it forward as a Council proposal, it would be different.

But I didn't.

Could you both please stop talking. (Seriously no one wants to scroll through all this)

Just fight to the death or have a war or something. Anything other than continuing this pointless conversation. Clearly you don't see eye to eye and clearly talking isn't solving anything. I would think it's apparent that the quickest and best way to solve this is through a show of force. Let's be honest. Power is the only thing that matters whether it be the power of the individual, the group or the council. This discussion will solve nothing for either one of you.

I'm not sure of that actually, given what I've spent on Runic Magic so far, and some other projects. However, if Azem isn't currently nursing a headache from all of this, which I suspect he is, he has more than enough Essence to lend me if he thinks it's worth it to do so.

"You fool! You are showing weakness. Never show weakness!"

Actually, I think this is our largest difference in ideology. The way I think of it, if you display weakness whilst having strength, it leads your foes to underestimate you. And to defeat a foe from a position of weakness is all the more impressive a display of strength. Similar with using honorable tactics against a dishonorable foe; if you beat them, you prove that you are capable of overcoming them even from a disadvantageous position. Both views have their merits, I feel.

To put it another way, or perhaps simply a different aspect of the view; The truly strong have no need to hide their weaknesses, as they cannot be hurt regardless.

All Mountwyrm-Tailwyrm hybrids have a 1 in 100 chance of being born as a Winged Tailwyrm: a Tailwyrm with Mountwyrm wings. (This isn't important. It's just fluff.)

Butterfly effect: With the protection offered by the Bellatorus Sanatores, more and more merchants and travellers begin visiting the city of Tailwyrms with some choosing to permanently reside there. The influx of wealth from merchants allows for improvement of the city not only to accommodate these new immigrants but to make the city generally better than it was before. The first three of the new temples built are one to Malakath, one to Khaziraad, and one to Azem. The city now stands at a respectable population of 510,000. The Order of the Knights of Restoration gains a proportionate increase in membership, rising from 150 to 255.

We're gods, man. If we want spirit mines, we can have spirit mines.

As for the leylines, I'm quite happy to provide some Essence in support of Darruth for them.

I do want to witness a fight between Fusil and Malakath though. Even with Malakath's reticence... I s'pose we could add rules so no-one dies or anything *rolls eyes* not that it makes much difference.

You seem to be making assumptions again, Malakath. People work in secret because they don't want people to know about their opposition.

The reason I supported you fighting Fusil was exactly this. You make assumptions on how things work, and expect everyone to think that way too. You tell others their creations aren't right and tell them how to fix it. Just because you think it's not right, doesn't mean to say it's wrong.

Malakath, nobody has the power of veto over the Council. Nobody.

They can act against the Council should they so wish, in private or in public, but they can't stop a proposal passing once it has been passed. That is what the word "veto" means.

(Oh the irony! Before I read this post I was going to say how I was wrong to think what I thought and I should defer judgement to better gods. I'm still going to do that because I'm not a spiteful person and you're right.)

"I was wrong to think that someone could veto a Council action. It was a train of thought that led to an incorrect conclusion and I apologise. I'll leave the handling of vetos to wiser gods than I and hopefully I can actually stop myself from getting into Council politics in the future. Good luck dealing with the Void, the time tremors, and the traitor god(s)!" (That wasn't sarcastic - that was sincerely telling you good luck.)

Abstain on the proposals I presented.

Tick 96: Annoyance Ascended

Spoiler: OOC in IC clutter; look here first if something didn't happen (click to show/hide)

Frivolous veto shenanigans in the last few hours: Ignored all the vetoes. All of them.

Petition to reduce veto fees: DENIED

Mortals acting big around gods: It's not much of a big deal when the gods are forever tied up in betrayals and backstabbing over the tiniest of things and they know it. The Council is the closest thing we have to a capital-G God and its mostly bogged down by bureaucracy and fluctuating enforcement ability.

The justification for having the Burning Days founded seems to have been something along the lines of "for every Conservative Crime Squad, a Liberal Crime Squad exists." Somewhat amusing from my perspective, and the reverse could also have been said as well.

Strange little man: Someone with a knife in the same room as the pray-er, apparently.

Runic magic: Khaziraad had some sort of construction runes as early as T12.

Alchemy branches: There's equivalent exchange stuff, potion stuff, at least one hidden other stuff, and possibly mundane chemistry masked by superstition, but that's not typically considered magic. So there are at least three distinct branches. For reference, the oldest alchemy branch of any kindis probably the mundane chemistry one, and the oldest magical alchemy branch may be Yaos' flavor of equivalent exchange stuff. This marks the point at which I stop bothering to listen to or discuss alchemy stuff and hope you can all sort it out nicely.

Revisionism with respect to other gods' creations' hiddens: I think you can all see why this isn't a very diplomatic approach on your own.

Common sense upgrades: I'd prefer if the creators added it on their own. They're the ones who would typically get the nonsense prayers anyway.

Vetoes and unvetoes and the Council: Obviously, it can't override what amounts to a free action based on free will.

Vetoes not matching definition: I usually work off of vetō from Latin, where it has a more general meaning of forbidding. I'm not even sure who started using the word veto first, but I think it was listed as "oppose" in the T0 and preparation documents.

Deciding what magic is what is not something for players, especially when details are left unpublished. It's not even a useful thing to do given that the Divine, Psymental, Cosmic, &c. set is mostly for templating and costs.

There are too many requests and questions going on in IC. This does not reflect very well ondddk:wq

RANDOM WARRIOR: (whispered) Why would I want to say something so silly!?

Face of the Burning Day: "We never said we despised them for that."

Malakath:
"Maybe I'll just go ask someone else. Order, Protection, Wealth, and Weapons seem to be likely candidates."
"I am so calm right now! So calm! Even though the little man locked the door and is sharpening that knife!"

Malakath attempts to unrestrict access to Darruth's Runic magic. Without knowing the actual details of its operation, this will have only little or no success.

Angel priests have been sent out to tour Muman, Mountwyrm, Human, Dwarf, Merperson, Wood Elf, Luminee, Night Elf, and Hummingbird capitals. Those touring the Night Elf capitals have been asked to leave by shadowy figures.

KI'Tork has toured isolated villages in the north and fed starving mortals.

Melyssa has appeared before convicted murderers to torture them to death.

Fortuna: "But there's a bunch of Muses who made that centuries ago, and they might send me a team of Lawmancers if I copy their idea!"
"You will be pleased, I'm sure!"

Fortuna has established a Gaming Commission which very few gambling halls have agreed to join so far. The main complaints seem to be from the curse and the restriction on names, which they feel restricts their selection unnecessarily given the capricious nature of luck.

Tycho seems to be doing very well. He has taken to wearing a coat half of gilded thread and half of torn rags. His preferred method of spreading Fortuna's message seems to be conning targets into thinking he can bestow gifts of luck through belief and generous donations.

The traveling entertainers have acquired a reputation as the only group that neglects safety nets, backstops, and properly built cages completely and are currently touring in the general direction of the Golden Grebe.

The Gruen who wanted to become a Lord of Hunger is currently stalking a foreign lord to consume him. He seems to have improved relatively little because of his somewhat ineffective diet.

Neron has modified a Golem, forcing its core to turn into a Soul Orb running on Blue Fire and changing its preferences to favor ice and sky. Golem hearts have been replaced by the Soul Orbs with a different method of creation. Finally, Neron has propagated them to 1 000 and placed half on each side of the ice planet.

Darruth has commissioned the construction of a Medical University for the research side of medicine.

Darruth has created a system of Ley Lines, which form around influential sites and function as magical hotspots. They affect and are affected by influential structures. They can be tapped into only by the trained

The anti-Void tactics seem to consist of interrogation and purging.

Kit challenges Tykki to a duel in the DBP. While this is not the first colloquial catfight, it is the first near-literal one. Fortuna has stepped in to block this from happening. Fusil has accepted on Tykki's behalf and ignored Fortuna.

Fusil has been perturbed by assorted gods taking tentacles. Could this be a sign of Fusil finally falling to Void corruption?

Mountwyrm-Tailwyrm hybrids have been given a 1% chance of developing a mutation rescuing the winged phenotype while still maintaining the tail.

(Where does 510 000 come from?)

Merchants and travelers have begun passing by the city of Tailwyrms with greater frequency. The Knights of Restoration will expand from this pool.

Neron has clapped with hands of ice for the destruction of the meaning of vetoes. Whether this refers to semantic satiation or something more deeply broken cannot be determined.

This update's constellations are the Hammer and Gravestone.

Make it human politics then. The players are the leaders of some prominent cities and must compete with each other for resources in order to become the best city. Murder and general backstabbing is encouraged, but only as a part of roleplaying in the game.

Edit: Bless Tycho with the actual ability to influence another mortal's luck, but on a small scale (basically not any more than above or below average increases/decreases)

Tycho, my friend, what are you doing!? I can't have you deceiving people into worshiping me, that just won't do!

You should be singing the virtues of what worshiping me can bring, and warning people of what I can do to them should they fall on my bad side. Use yourself as an example; you are so lucky you don't even age! Ask people to challenge you to spectacular shows of luck. You know I'll always keep you safe.

Ask them to make reference to me by dressing the ringmaster as my avatar and do the show as though he is blessing the performers with luck to remain safe. They will receive my blessing, exclusively (for traveling entertainers...) in return for doing this.

(Not that kind of calm. It's more like a martial artist or a samurai who's focused and at peace than a stoner who's unfocused and at peace.)

I've forgotten what stuff there is I want to do as a public action. At least the stuff that I can afford.

Hmmm. Also, samurai aren't at peace. Quite the opposite. They are at war. Part of Bushido is choosing death, whenever there is a choice between life and death. That's a paraphrased quote.))

Hmmm. What to do...oh, wait, I know.

Commission the construction of hospitals staffed primarily by Darruthian Healers through the cities of Good. They are free to those that cannot afford them, and cost those who can afford to pay only what is both reasonable and they can spare(scales according to their wealth; almost like a tax to use it, rather than a flat cost). In other ways, they should be funded by the Church.
I'm very interested in finding out how well the cities have been doing without me taking much of a hand in actual government, or at least I think I have. How prosperous are the cities? How are their lives? What problems do they have for me to address?

Oh, yes, and Decentralize.

Quote from: Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum on January 16, 2015, 12:49:40 am

Spoiler: Deathbells (click to show/hide)

When someone who has been "seeded" by the deathbells dies, they begin to grow a poisonous deathbell plant around their skull. This plant will spread its roots around and control all the nearby plants as well, and the plants grow around the body and form a plant being.
If there aren't any plants nearby, then the deathbell just dies.

Once the deathbell has control, it stands the body up and forms a cuccoon of plants while it consumes the flesh inside, leaving only a skeleton. When it is finished eating, the deathbell blooms and the cuccoon opens, letting a cloud of deathbell butterflies fly out of the skeleton. These butterflies get covered in the flower's pollen (Which also causes sleep) and travel the world to plant deathbell seeds on more people while they are sleeping from the pollen.

After the deathbell reproduces, it begins living like a regular person would, simply one made of plants covering a skeleton. They would probably live in catacombs and old temples usually...

Lady Vandire and the mage guild of Odolhirum (the Tailwyrm city) prepare a magic barrier that repels deathbell butterflies from the city (similar to bug-repellant) that also destroys all deathbell seeds within the city walls. This will also destroy any seeds that have already been "planted" but it will leave the host entirely unharmed. Walking Deathbells will be completely unharmed by the barrier. I will keep close supervision over creation of the barrier so that I'll be able to spot any divine or non-divine attempts to prevent or tamper with the barrier.

Numerous Gods seem to be in good humor this tick. Do not fear Grauel as he and his followers are always interested in methods of increasing ammount of food availiable. Do not fear or annoy Fusil, he dislikes striking in force, but has a sharp tongue. Do not listen too much to Malkath, she certainly doesn't.

(That would be the way to do it. You might want to ask how much it would cost in the OOC thread first. Unaging races provide less Essence from worship than mortal races. Non-sentient races don't have free will and can't worship, sentient races have free will but can't worship, and sapient races (what you're looking for) have free will and are capable of worship.)

"Excellent. I'll begin telling my people about you shortly."

Two Cryxian Cyrixic temples are built in Odolhirum. People are told about the new god Cryxis, god of the Harvest and the benefits to worshipping him. (I'm guessing here that their food spoils less quickly, food tastes better, and food is both more plentiful and more varied in the marketplace.

Though the Havens(shorter name for Cities of Good, easier, fits better) should already have some shrines and temples to the other gods, I believe I finally have some spare time/ability/Essence.

Let's build some Pantheon Courts, shall we?

Spoiler: Pantheon Court (click to show/hide)

Pantheon Courts are essentially small sections of a city close to the size of a marketplace or small market district or the like set aside/designed for allowing the worship of the other gods more easily and more concretely. Their temples and courtyards are arranged in ways such that it resembles the divine relationships; the less fond Darruth is of the god, however, the smaller they are likely to be. Melyssa, for example, only warrants a rather small shrine. Fusil, on the other hand, probably gets a decent sized temple with the customary associated building of the religion(presumably smithy for weapon-forging, training yard for practice with weapons, and, uh, an armory for holding weapons?), while Azem gets a decently large complex of buildings, probably right next to the Merchant Quarter/market district/you get the idea). I don't want to spend Essence on this as I don't think I have all that much, but, any Essence a god provides me will be used to proportionately improve their temples/places of worship in the Pantheon Courts, distributed amongst the Havens.

Gods I haven't dealt with much or don't deal with much are more likely to be treated with respect and given decent temples than ignored or forgotten about. I'm not doing this directly, so I can't be certain what my followers will do in this regard; chances may be that there may be more worshipers of a certain god in one Haven or another and thus they might build larger or smaller temples for certain gods in one region or another.

If you want, KJP, I can give a list of gods from most to least favorable for purposes of this.

A rather belated welcome, Cyrix. It's a nice change to see a god of something most definitely positive arrive. Though I neglected to welcome Raptil, as well...my apologies, Lord of the Hunt. I have a sneaking suspicion you two might get along quite well...

Though the Havens(shorter name for Cities of Good, easier, fits better) should already have some shrines and temples to the other gods, I believe I finally have some spare time/ability/Essence.

Let's build some Pantheon Courts, shall we?

Spoiler: Pantheon Court (click to show/hide)

Pantheon Courts are essentially small sections of a city close to the size of a marketplace or small market district or the like set aside/designed for allowing the worship of the other gods more easily and more concretely. Their temples and courtyards are arranged in ways such that it resembles the divine relationships; the less fond Darruth is of the god, however, the smaller they are likely to be. Melyssa, for example, only warrants a rather small shrine. Fusil, on the other hand, probably gets a decent sized temple with the customary associated building of the religion(presumably smithy for weapon-forging, training yard for practice with weapons, and, uh, an armory for holding weapons?), while Azem gets a decently large complex of buildings, probably right next to the Merchant Quarter/market district/you get the idea). I don't want to spend Essence on this as I don't think I have all that much, but, any Essence a god provides me will be used to proportionately improve their temples/places of worship in the Pantheon Courts, distributed amongst the Havens.

Gods I haven't dealt with much or don't deal with much are more likely to be treated with respect and given decent temples than ignored or forgotten about. I'm not doing this directly, so I can't be certain what my followers will do in this regard; chances may be that there may be more worshipers of a certain god in one Haven or another and thus they might build larger or smaller temples for certain gods in one region or another.

If you want, KJP, I can give a list of gods from most to least favorable for purposes of this.

A rather belated welcome, Cyrix. It's a nice change to see a god of something most definitely positive arrive. Though I neglected to welcome Raptil, as well...my apologies, Lord of the Hunt. I have a sneaking suspicion you two might get along quite well...

How good of a temple will 2 essence get me in that pantheon?

I believe Malakath is rather worried about the prospect of having several gods, or even just one of the most powerful ones, go to war with her. She desires allies.

I believe, actually, that we've become somewhat tiered in power, and the only reason Fusil doesn't appear to be in the top tier based on essence total is because he died once. Cim, Grauel, possibly Azem, possibly Kli, and probably Fusil are all in the top tier, myself, Khaziraad, possibly Azem and Kli if they aren't top-tier, and I think Neron are in the mid-high tier, while Malakath, KI'Tork, Atropos, and deary me there are a lot of gods to to go through aren't there.

I think any of the newer gods get the idea, and the older gods already knew this, whether actively or no.

To answer your question, Cyrix: I'm not entirely sure, as I have never built temples with Essence before. I might actually ask Khaziraad for assistance with any temples built via Essence, to ensure maximum quality, though it's entirely up to him whether he chooses to assist or not. Considering what Fusil's saying, and the number of Havens in the world, probably rather high quality.

Beneath the Grand Church that the Wolf-People built, a city rises from the ground! An enormous, seven-tiered city with fertile farms, a defensive citadel, above which the church now sits with great steps leading up to it, high walls, and mines and forges beneath it's base. This new city will be called "Ñurnea." I encourage all Wolf-People nearby to take a religious pilgrimage here at least once in their life time.

I am sure such a simple race would be a pitiful amount of essence, you start with a full capacity of twenty and will be able to regain that easily with enough followers.

"Two? Two systems of magic? The ones that use the actual understanding of magic? You wouldn't even have your system of I hadn't studied what magic was. I am capable of seeing your actions, and your actions have not shown any intimate or even cursory knowlage on either of the things you claim to know all about. I have died twice, and came back instantly each time, and I am still more powerful than you in every way including essence capacity. Considering I was unable to even move in one and had three Gods fight against me, I can hardly be blamed for a 'bad decision', and even if I was bad at making decisions that would be completely irrelevant to the conversation. Slavery may or may not exist, though entire races have not been enslaved. The fact that you seem to think it is so widespread does rather show you do not know how the mortals act.

The bad decisions lie in you making enemies with enough Gods that they were able and willing to do so.

You are capable of seeing what I publicly do. Why would I lay out the mechanics of the system of magic I created? The only reason I even declared it was because the amount of power being used by certain mages would be rather obvious to anyone who cared to look. I've never claimed to know all about anything. You seem to invent things as they suit you, rather than actually seeing the facts as they are.

I agree. They are likely quite incapable of enslaving a race watched by a God. Thus why I offered my protection, in case Cyrix's attention is elsewhere; say, because you've blown something up again.

"The god of Hunt isn't as active as this new god, doesn't ask as many questions, and isn't as useful, no offence. If I remember correctly, there weren't very many gods who were jumping at the chance to help me either."

None taken. I'm still around, but I don't have much to say. Besides, I'm still trying to get my head around the recent proposals and how they would affect things.

Also, greetings Cyrix. I am Raptil, god of the Hunt.

Alright, I've got a new race.

Spoiler:  New race, Falciri (click to show/hide)

The Falciri are a race of sentient falcon like creatures, slightly smaller than a human, and with a slightly shorter lifespan.

They are found in small towns high in the mountains, but a large concentration live in a small city built around a holy site.
They are omnivorous, but their preferred food is meat. To provide food, the towns send out bands of hunters and gatherers.
They tend to stay away from over races, and are careful not to kill livestock, unless they are in severe danger of starvation, in which case they leave behind some goods as compensation.
The Falciri towns consist of a combination of small caves carved into the mountainsides, and sheltered wooden platforms. The interiors are adorned with colourful banners and tapestries, often depicting birds in flight. Most of the damper caves are reserved for growing small edible mushrooms, and some of the dryer ones are for storage.
The Falciri language consists of chirping noises, the pitch and length of which conveys meaning. Some have learned the languages of their neighbouring races, and speak those languages with an almost musical accent.

Create 300 Falciri and propagate to 1500.

Tick 97: Revivication

Spoiler: misc (click to show/hide)

(210 000 added to a 300 000 is a rather implausible result of a free action. The effectiveness of actions is correlated quite strongly with effort, and butterfly effect actions are rated as close to zero effort. Lucky rolls do happen, but they're lucky rolls because they don't happen most of the time. Do not make such assumptions in the future.)

(Didn't you already Decentralize along with Something Something Miracle of Springtime?)

(Many temples for 2E: I believe the design assumption was that they'd be average run-of-the-mill temples, thus explaining how they could be so irrelevant and mass-produceable. Less detailed (and therefore less prominent) things costing less is a recurring pattern.)

(Pantheons don't actually mean much without actions to back them up. The standard pantheon seems to have its members encouraging their worshippers to worship the others as well. Backstabbing is still possible, but enforced contracts can stop this.)

(Star here is interpreted as "falling star" because a "burny reactor star" wouldn't crash into a village; a planet would crash into it. This likely nerfs nothing.)

(It's not actually cheaper to p'type+p'gate than p'type&p'gate now for the reason that increasing the number of actions needlessly more typically increases the total cost. Also, it was practically metagaming anyway. In this case, 600 was approximately the highest number creatable in one action while guaranteeing spending exactly 3E, and more could have been created with a risk of going over budget.)

Fortuna:
"That may work then. I'll just have to stay out of the touchier ones' lands."
"Luck is flowing like spirits at a feast, O Mutable One!"

There is much uproar among the gambling halls following the announcement of the curse on non-Commission halls. Some do join, but there are also reports of shrines to Fortuna being destroyed.
Tycho: "That's what your less lucky priests would do. I get to do the fun stuff because I have all the luck!"
Tycho has activated his Rod. Colorful ribbons burst from the ground like geysers, attracting a great many random people.

The traveling entertainers have taken to having their ringmaster play as Fortuna in their performances.

Malakath and Fusil:
SHINJO: "Actually, I may change my mind if you both tell me who your most potent rival is."

Malakath:
"They don't employ subterfuge and secrecy? Tell us more we didn't already know."

The strange little man is thinking about the beautiful gushing of arterial blood, but the reasons elude simple examination.

The shadowy figures' minds seem to be warded against even divine interference. They seem not to be Void cultists.
"Release us soon untouched or our superiors will begin executing contingencies."

You don't know what books on the Void Fusil read. It is a most unpleasant situation, not to know what romance novels your stalkee reads.

Darruth has commissioned the construction of hospitals staffed by Darruthian Healers in the cities of Good. Access is free for those who cannot afford it and proportional to wealth for those who can.

The cities have been doing very well, exporting many magical products. While none are quite as extravagant as the largest Mountwyrm capital, the cities are considered excellent destinations by tourists all the same. The main problem at the moment is slowly growing tension between two sides on a developing schism.

Neron has also adopted tentacles with significant improvements in dexterity only a snake can truly appreciate.

Atropos has created the Deathbells and scattered them about the worlds. Malakath and the fledgling mage guild of Odolhirum have warded the city from deathbells and destroy existing ones save walking deathbells.

Cyrix has sent flocks of great owls to protect the farms of the world and improve yields (and created them, which is the bulk of the cost).

Melyssa:
"I've hanged myself from this tree for over a week now and I see ghosts everywhere. Do you have any advice?"
"Could you see my floor spiked plate? My mentor says it's as painless as a bed of nails."
"Pop! Look at my eyeball! Pop!"

Cyrix has given Malakath 2E to commission a temple in the Tailwyrm city.

Darruth has begun the construction of Panthon Courts in the Havens. Melyssa has pledged her assistance should it cost a non-zero amount. [NOT YET RESOLVED]

Ñurnea, a seven-tiered city, has begun rising from below the Grand Church of Quéßäre the Wolf-People built. It is self-contained and self-sufficient.

A mischievous sculptor has chiseled in "Malakath and Cyrix, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G" on a cliff face and been found dead three days later.

Malakath has hit on Azem again. Fusil seems to be jealous. Malakath has given 1E to Azem and overflowed.

Neron:
"We are thinking of creating a compact granary and would like your assistance."
"Can you give us a metal than melts when cooled and freezes when heated?"
"Is it true that shouting in the mountains can cause an avalanche?"

Atropos has prototyped the Seven Scrolls.

Cyrix has created 600 Sewa and distributed them between the worlds.

Azem has given the gift of improved mathematics and engineering knowledge to the various scientific institutions.

Kit and Tykki have fought in the DBP! Kit is somehow able to dodge most of Tykki's attacks and seems to grow more agile as the fight progresses. In the end, however, Kit cannot endure Tykki's continuous onslaught and is defeated. Kit has returned to Atropos' shoulder and Tykki has returned to Fusil.

Tykki: "It is done, Sir."

Azem has been punished by being put in a funny hat. Astute readers of this tabloid thing may note the similarity to Malakath's offers to play the role the funny hat currently plays and Malakath's at least initial opposition to the idea.

This update's constellations are the Staff and Phoenix.

There is much uproar among the gambling halls following the announcement of the curse on non-Commission halls. Some do join, but there are also reports of shrines to Fortuna being destroyed.

Pick one of the detractors with the largest gambling hall, and float them up to the ceiling so that everyone can see him, while I stand below. Gesticulating mildly, which pinches off their extremities ((DF style!!)) one by one, starting with fingers and toes, then hands/feet and so on, until left with a torso and a head, while I use my godly powers to keep them alive.

I'm wondering what you hoped to gain in destroying my shrines, mortal. I would say I'm a very accommodating god, indeed I gave you the choice to join the commission or not, instead of just blasting you into gibs for assuming that I would allow you to give your patrons a less than fair chance of walking away with more than they came with. I am the god of Luck, you do not get to decide how luck is portioned out!

I was happy to allow your continued existence, admittedly with a great deal less luck, but you decided the best course of action would be to act against me. I cannot let this go unpunished, lest other mortals decide they can act against me and my celestial brethren without worrying about the consequences. You are a fool, and will serve as an example to other fools, mortal.

Set my hand in a fist, crushing the mortal's head above me.

Offer the remainder of the blaspheming gambling hall owners to Melyssa and the Flagellants.

I hope your people enjoy my gift, Melyssa

Amend the Commission rules: gambling halls now get no house edge in any of their games. It is now pure chance who wins. Curse any gambling halls that are not in the Commission after my example.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 18, 2015, 07:40:37 am

Tycho: "That's what your less lucky priests would do. I get to do the fun stuff because I have all the luck!"
Tycho has activated his Rod. Colorful ribbons burst from the ground like geysers, attracting a great many random people.

Take the Rod and blast Tycho into random animals until he listens. Turn him back to normal with a snap of my fingers, and return the Rod to him

Tycho, I appreciate that you are insanely lucky, but do you remember why?

You are my acolyte now. I can't have you deceiving people into worshiping me. I don't want a reputation as a liar.

Now, I'm asking you nicely, and for the last time: change your methods, or I'll be forced to take steps, okay?

A mischievous sculptor has chiseled in "Malakath and Cyrix, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G" on a cliff face and been found dead three days later.

Find this sculptor's soul and ask him if he wants to become a priest of Fortuna, in return for my protection for his boldness ((I'm right in assuming he has been reincarnated on the other planet, yes?))

"How so? Killing a group of people who displease you? Simply spreading a rumor you did that would be just as effective, and I doubt it would be very effective at that. Refusing your commission is hardly acting against you, simply not acting with you. As acting with you would actively harm them with no real benefit, it makes since to do so.

I have little interest in other God's followers. We don't know who's follower this man even is.

I don't know your reasons, Fusil. Because she tortures people and cursed a lot of gambling commissions, and some of your followers might like gambling? Because you understand the need for subtlety and plausible deniability in a Council that has grown even larger and has many of your rivals in it and has the capability to shut you down? I'm not sure that you did it, and I wasn't saying I was looking down on you for it. In fact, given her reaction, I rather hope it was you. You're strong enough to smash her, if you wanted.

Besides, I'm not certain you did, nor do I truly believe you did. Not directly, certainly. I did say 'the idea of it' and 'might have' for a reason. They aren't just decorative.

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on January 18, 2015, 07:40:37 am

The cities have been doing very well, exporting many magical products. While none are quite as extravagant as the largest Mountwyrm capital, the cities are considered excellent destinations by tourists all the same. The main problem at the moment is slowly growing tension between two sides on a developing schism.

((I believe this is in response to me...I think. The song reference was amazing, by the way, Stirk))

Well, that ain't good. Time to figure out what this schism is about. Hopefully I can put a stop to it before it gets out of control.

Also, if my races don't already have the Common Sense enhancement thing, and I can do that for 2E or less, do it.

I doubt you would succeed. Not because Fusil is some sort of all-powerful omnipotent supergod, but because he's still very powerful, and you're all rather new. Save Neron, but I really have no idea what Neron is doing anymore in any case besides making threats. I can foresee this actually flaring into war, given the number of people threatening or insulting Fusil, and his newfound toys.

Although I still believe he vastly overestimates Tykki's power.

So I turn away for a bit and all the shit goes down. Why am I geting used to this.

Fortuna, lashing out at mortals, while they may or may not be actual instigators, even more so when they are merely expresing their disatisfaction over your bullshit is something that almost got Malkath smiten. They build the shrines when they worship you and tear them down when you fuck up. It is simply how it works. Had those that destroyed the temples been of other faiths, mabye those who wanted your temples gone just for the glory of their chosen, it would be a diferent matter. Now, you get to enjoy being part of the gods that mortals fear.

As for the rest, It is nice that you have united in power to help your ally, but Fusil would only kill one of the gods if sole alternative was great suffering of his followers. Let's keep it that way. Annoying as he gets sometimes, he does in fact care for what happens in physical realm, and I would dislike seeing him having to battle you over entirely rightful calling out of Fortunas actions. It is nice to see that you can stand up for yourselves, but do not escalate the conflict. This is a matter between Fortuna and her followers. Keep it that way.

Have a look at how the contest turned out.

"That is delightfully tortuous! Thanks!"
You have turned given Zekeb to Eyeball-Popper, turning him into Zekeb the third Archfiend. You have also created III, the third Flagellant city, and given it as much of a population as I.

(In the future, is it ok if I combine the butterfly effect with actually spending Essence to cause such actions to happen?)

(Yes, this is the intended method if you want a high chance of success for more than minor consequences. A suggested format of indicating this includes stating the cap on how much you want to pay so as not to overspend while still getting the desired results at a hopefully significantly discounted price.)

Following your display, a fireball has struck you for 2E and left the Burning Days untouched. The Burning Days are awestruck and have begun praying thanks to (an) unknown god(s).

The strange little man has been sent to an asylum.

The shadowy figures from the Night Elf area have been returned, and the angel-priests involved recalled to Zeranzel.

You begin spreading rumors about a common cat being able to challenge Tykki.

Fusil:
SHINJO: "I was hoping I could safely call on whoever it was. Ah well."

Tykki: "With pleasure, Sir."

(Cyrix: -4E)
Cyrix: You propagate the Sewa to 10 000 on both worlds and spend 2E to improve your share in the Pantheon Courts.

(The Light: -3E)
The Light: You create a rainbow-colored sea serpent with a length of 2km.

(Fusil: -20E)
Fusil: You have created 30M Hovori.

(Joha: -30E)
Joha: You have propagated the Wood Elves, Ikan, Lycae, and Wargs (?) to add a total of eleven billion of them.

Fortuna:
"The punishment for insulting the king in a nearby kingdom is death."
"It is flowing into my lucky fingers! I can now win any game!"
Your display terrifies many into joining the Commission. The blaspheming halls have been offered up to Melyssa and the Flagellants. Your curse on non-Commission halls intensifies.

The Rod fizzles in a display of unluckiness.
Tycho: "The Rod doesn't work without my consent! Nice, isn't it? It's also an effective way to attract followers, which I am definitely not doing with another motive in mind."
The sculptor's soul's current body says: "ma ma. ma ma ma mam mama. *bvbvbvbvbv* ma ma."

You hear the following prayers:
"I heard something about killing sea-birds being unlu--good. Is this true? How do the sailors survive without food?"
"The performers at the Golden Grebe were amazing! They didn't use any safety equipment at all!"
"Would you play a little coin game with me for a minor boon? Heads I win, tails you lose."

Melyssa: The Flagellants have gleefully locked the infidels in a single small spiky cage after abacination, denailing, and kneecapping. They are on display and currently starving to death. Onlookers notice a disappearance and a lack of growling stomachs the next day.

Torture has revealed that the most common reason to avoid the Commission (n=4) was the ban on house-favorable odds of any kind and the most common reason for destroying shrines of Fortuna (n=3) was the curse on non-Commission halls. Another group of popular answers are variations on a winged monkey telling them to do it or not knowing what's happening (n=31), which many later replace with not knowing anything about what's going on (n=29).

Raptil: You and the Falciri hunters go hunting and, in an anticlimactic ending, knock out the target within a few seconds after diving at it. They continue and have begun hunting a notably large bear.

Cyrix: You have appeared before the Sewa as a 4-ft owl. They humbly thank you for their creation and invite you to a small feast that evening.

(Darruth: Common sense added)
Darruth: The schism seems to be forming based on many who believe your orb is an eye and many who believe it is simply an orb. It has begun spreading to include several eye-related teachings along the way. Some have taken to spreading their interpretation that the eye is, in fact, the constellation known as the Eye, but others denounce this as associating you with such things as insanity.

Khaziraad: The better entries have stopped trickling in at this point. The more notable entries are as follows:

A short tower built almost entirely out of metal as a proof of concept for future experiments
A small inn with a ceiling of almost flat clear glass with a very blocky structure allowing light in during the day

Azem grants the various scientific institutions that exist more advanceded knowledge of mathematics and engineering.

The final nail in the coffin, except in this case it's good.

Butterfly effect: As the Bellatorus Sanatores grows the more well-protected the trade routes leading to Odolhirum become, leading to ever more immigrants and traders going to the city and improving its economy.

Odolhirum's wealth has allowed more noble houses to emerge and settle, leading to more squires for the Sanatores as no noble house wants to send their children to other knightly orders with lesser results and at greater expense. With most noble children squiring for the Restoration Knights, more permanent members are drawn from the nobility as many of these new knights do not stand to inherit anyway. Of course, they do so with their parents' blessing.

The new worship of Cyrix, the power of the nobility, the advent of the Sewa, and the joining together of the Lord-Protector of the city with the god of Harvest under one pantheon has turned Odolhirum into an agricultural powerhouse as well as a mercantile one. Aside from a local population increase, this attracts even more migrants to the city.

ISAY and all of its assets are transferred to Odolhirum. What isn't teleported by the magic of the mage's guild and Lord Malakath's magic is brought over by her Essence-use (2E max) or by mundane means.

The mercantile and agricultural aspects of the city leaves its nobles flush with money and without many practical things to spend it on. As such, they turn to other things to occupy their time. Azem's pleas for art inspire them to hire artists of various types, ISAY's presence gives them the idea to sponsor independent scientists to discover curiosities for them, and Azem's gift of mathematics and engineering, plus Khaziraad's influence in the city plus the inspiring nature of the Knights of Restoration's castle has them build their own grand buildings and public works to increase their prestige. Their wealth also allows for better funding of magical experiments both within and without the mage's guild, making experimentation with magic not only easier and more frequent, but safer.

Odolhirum has entered the Renaissance. Let all see the influence of Lord Malakath Lecta.

(City's population = 1,200,000; Bellatorus membership = 700; max 5E to make sure butterfly effect happens, hopefully less)

(Before Cyrix, Azem's saying he wants more art (god-speak has influence on its own, IIRC), and his help with architecture, I was leading up to this event anyway. It would've been stretched out over two Ticks with the first Tick focusing more on the nobility gaining more power and thus gaining wealth. The presence, actions, and influence of these two gods allowed me to squeeze it into one.)

(The way I see it, the city buys all the Sewa's produce and then sells it on, plus it can apply knowledge gained from your temples and the Sewa themselves to improve their own agricultural endeavours. Considering that our gods are strongly allied it's not unlikely that our cities are as well.)

"Cyrix, is there anything your Sewa want or desire? I can easily influence the city's response to the aid of their allies. Of course, I'll need to know exactly what to influence. Better homes? More military protection? Something else? All of the above?"

"And why is that? We have two planets and can make more just as perfect fairly easily. In fact, we still have several moons that could be cultivated, and an entirely new ice planet that has been ignored.

We may achieve more if we pool our efforts. And put a bit more effort into them, at that. We could easily manage 30E between us, Azem, to propagate our races to, if not rival Joha, who is a God of Life after all, then to be respectable in this environment.

And still have some left over to help Cyrix, and ensure a steady food supply.

Actually, speaking of new planets, I've been considering making some, though nonhabitable by typical mortal standards, to help serve as another conduit for Constellation Magic based on planetary alignments, and give the Nephilim a route to the stars.

The birds carry the souls of dead sailors to the next life, it is tremendously bad to kill one, intentionally or otherwise. ((not really sure how the second question relates to the first but...)) Sailors are awesome, they have the ability to store food in their cheeks, so if they ever run out of fresh food they can start to go through their cheek-stores.

I'll head to a snowy place, and start building a snowman ("Do you wanna build a snowman?" just to annoy everyone). Not one of those stupid things that are just two chunks of snow on top of each other, but you know, actual legs and stuff.

Humanoid in shape, and basically your average human in every way, pop some branches in the side of the torso for arms, and two eye-shaped crystals for eyes, plop a mop of brown moss on the head for hair. Inspect the creation so far, chin resting in a cupped hand.

Smiling to myself, I snap my fingers to create life! The snow quickly melts away, revealing the first member of the Turonni race. Snap my fingers once more to transport the being to the new city of Chance (pronounced shonss) and propagate the buggers. However much 5E gets me.

Since I manifested on the Council, most of the proposals have actually been rejected, so I have no idea where you're getting that idea from.

I never voted in the first place, and besides, I'm really unsure how the council would enforce such an edict.

Particularly when it interferes with previously established Council rules.

I actually wonder if such a paradox in a system with as much (potential...) power as the Council wouldn't Paradox us as well. Hopefully that would be avoided, but...

"No, you did vote. That stupid law you helped past means that everyone votes, if you don't support or oppose then you abstain. Which is why they are all almost passing now."

Indeed? I must have gravely misunderstood the meaning of the word 'all', then. Or perhaps 'almost' is simply a far larger margin by your definition. After all, as of now, out of the nine proposals I can see, one has already failed, two are about to, and the rest are going to die.

Whether the Council is abstaining as a group or not, they would all be only a few votes away from passing anyway, because so few gods vote on them, and because there aren't that many here to begin with.

"No. You don't understand how voting works, do you? This just goes further to show that you simply have no clue how this world works, despite your claims. Essentially, proposals need a certain number of people to vote on them to pass or fail. So before 75.01, most proposals did not get enough votes to even get a leg on it. Now that 75.01 passed, you only technically need one person to vote on any given proposal for it to pass, because it will automatically be 100% of the people voting supporting it. So yes, especially compared to before, all the proposals where dangerously close to passing."

"Technically speaking, it could be interpreted so the minimum is only two.

Oppose Fusil's proposal. Either it will default back to whatever the old rule was - which was replaced for a reason - or there will just be no restriction in that sense, which was the entire reason you were arguing that that rule has problems. I don't see how that makes sense.

Support Cyrix's proposal Wait scratch that I just reread it oppose that thing as a dangerous liability if it's not only able to be drawn on when a god dies

You say that, but the question is both when and how? And that is a matter of prevention; not a matter of enabling. So perhaps I should be the one saying that to you?

Proposal 75.01 was the one I made that made it so that any god who did not vote on a particular proposal counted as abstaining from voting on it. Which is, quite literally, what they were doing, this simply made it so that proposals could be mulled over by the active gods without falling away because the inactive ones failed to vote. And the widespread support for it and the obvious opposition to his idea of what is best - for him, at least - is why he wasn't bothering to propose it, especially since council proposals require at least two gods to support it now.

But, if it will get Fusil to cease his pointless rambling, I will propose a clarification to 80.05.2; that a total of three gods must Support a proposal in order for it to pass.

 But it is only supposed to be drawn from when a god is dieing. And I say more than 5 can be drawn because a god might want to do things during a tick besides die. Also it's a council vote of they get to draw from it or not.

These are all subject to addition, removal, and change by you. They can effect changes in the game's core rules (mechanics), administrative laws (voting requirements, seniority privilegs, &c.) or the natural rules (light does not exist, gravity is repulsive, giant animals can fly like birds, &c.).
`Administrative:
A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

I would support "80.05.2.1: A total of 3 gods must support a proposal to allow it to pass", but the way it's worded means that once three gods support something it is going to pass.

I propose to amend it to say "At least three gods must publicly support a proposal for it to be able to pass"

"Claws are not made to be weapons, at least yours aren't. They don't have much reach, while they do have poor placement, no defensive ability, no range, no deep-wounds....even if they could effectively fight something human-size one on one, we have plenty of races larger and more powerful. Do you think that a few-inch deep scratch could kill one of the larger Gruen, for instance? The Gruen liked to eat sentients when the world was young, I wonder if they ever gave up that habit..."

If you enable them all to use magic proficiently, they should have little need to wield weapons manually. If such were even required, they would be able to wield them with magic.

You like making things up a lot. If you allowed guns in the world, I wouldn't be saying this; guns are rather excellent, and far more efficient, at least, than magic.

But a bloody bow and arrow doesn't compare to fire balls. Or seventy arrows per second launched by a single mage. Or a magic bow. Or really anything else we can do, considering it's so mundane.

And I want you take a moment and think about what you just said. Overestimate magic. What else would you call what we do with Essence? Overestimating magic is rather like overestimating a sun; if you've done it, chances are nothing else you do will matter be able to work either.

And Cyrix, if you're concerned for their souls, I could help teach them to tap into the Ley Lines and keep the power stored.

That said, I suggested magic mostly because it sounds like you want them to remain Owls. In all honesty, magic in combination with weapons, tools and armor is the best way to go about doing it.

"I don't need to ruin the development of weapons. I will let the develop naturally. What exactly am I making up?

It really does. The Armu can fire hundreds of arrows at once with no need for magic, it is what they are designed to do. Even a skilled human swordsman can easily beat a mage in single combat. Mages fall all the time to swordsmen, bowmen, crossbowmen, random thugs with knives, maces, hammers, and an assortment of other weapons. They are not nearly as powerful as you believe them to be. Have you ever actually seen a mage in combat?

What we do with essence is Creation. Because we are Gods. It is a completely different system then mortal magic, which you would know about if you knew anything about either. Despite our claims, you seem to be completely ignorant on both.

You are overestimating magic. That is plain and simple. You think it is doing far more in the world then it really is."

Ok final decision on what the guardians are, deal with it. They shall be the great owls as described before with same population numbers and all. They will each be assigned 5 Sewa to protect from birth, usually it will be a family that they will protect as the family grows maybe they are given as gifts to married couples etc. they will have powerful talons and they will be very strong, they will also have (low 1-2?) pcymental and elemental magic ability.

I then find an Expert Mage of Darruth's and have him do the same thing. Compare the results.

Sewa creation and propagation: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=144651.msg5965072;topicseen#msg5965072

<LOOP STABILITY?>: This borrows the usual <?> cost marker for proposals to indicate that the cost of the proposal may be the stability of an ongoing loop. Stable time loops are implemented in YG but should only be undertaken by those who can make sure to keep them working. Performing time travel also limits the ability to react to deviations.

Again, paradox death disregards preparations/clones and cannot be bargained out, but the rewards of a well-planned, well-placed, well-executed loop can include things like conditional indestructibility...

Cyrix: You have attended the feast and blessed your hosts after departing. You have given them knowledge of prayer rituals to be followed for your blessing for their harvests, and they gratefully follow them.

Zekeb and Uthon have begun searching for the escapees. Where they used to be are jelly rolls labeled "BLASPMIN GABMBLIN HALL OWNER"

Azxar has taken the woman to I along with the branch on which she was hanged.

(Joha: Bienen instead of Wargs, then)

(Malakath: -7E, Cyrix: -2E)
Malakath: Odolhirum has begun accumulating additional traders and immigrants and begun developing its own nobility. While more outside nobility send their children to train with the Bellatores Sanatores, most consider it to be ruinous for security. A veritable sea of mer-chants carrying immense caravans and immigrants have entered the city, raising its population to 1.1M.

Cyrix worship and close relations with the nearby Sewa do seem to have much benefit to Odolhirum, which has a relatively low per capita skipped meals count. ISAY and its assets have been teleported by the still-new mages' guild and Malakath's assistance.

Art output is steadily increasing in Odolhirum.

(Neron: -3E)
Neron: You create 50 000 Rani. The seed planted has grown to become a young frosty tree of some sort.

(Azem: -4E)
Azem: You create 900 000 Mountwyrms and Dwarves.

(Fortuna: -5E)
Fortuna:
"I don't know. I'm not a king."
"Yes, praise The Auspex for granting me these gloves!"
The Rod is now in the sun. "Awwww. Fine."
The child is now under your implicit protection.
"Do they really carry them off? How spooky! I do want those pouches, though."
The coin lands on edge. "Awww."
You have also created a thousand Turonni and the city of Chance (/ʃɑ̃s/?).

KI'Tork has toured the worlds advising novice cooks about cooking.

Cyrix has created the Sewa's guardians, tall owls with low psymental and elemental ability intended to protect each family from birth. @@@

A Legendary +5 Armu crossbowman has fired off an estimated four hundred bolts in a minute. The Expert Mage of Darruth stacked the bolts neatly in five minutes. A Legendary +5 Darruthian battlemage specializing in rapid bolt-firing could not be found. Instead, a Legendary +5 mage who happens to like a game of stacking cups has come and stacked cups rapidly.

(Legendary +5: Not canon)

Numerous Wood Elf, Mountwyrm, Golem, Wolf person, Seraph-Cherub-Ophan, Night Elf, Human, and Luminee cities and Odolhirum have been struck by a sudden immense Merfolk invasion from marketplaces and graveyards. A large fraction of major Mountwyrm, Golem, Wolf person, Night Elf, Human, and Luminee cities are practically already conquered, and the remaining are suffering heavy losses and collateral damage. The Burning Days' castle has, in a twist of actual irony, been locked up, oiled, and torched with no survivors. The Sanatores' headquarters are currently under siege. Much priceless research data and prototypes from ISAY and the DSMS have been destroyed irretrievably.

This update's constellations are the Dragon and Candle.

"What do you even know of combat to separate it into types?"

"It was just a light conversation piece. It wasn't meant to be taken seriously and certainly not worth arguing over. I should've known better than to do anything vaguely light-hearted when it comes to the Council."

I send out my angel priests to do some scouting. They will put wards on themselves to protect against detection - optical(invisibility), magical, etc. - before going. Since a god is almost certainly behind this, they will be warded against divine sight as well.

I send one angel priest to the Bellatorus Headquarters. There, it will remove its optical ward and add some very strong protection wards. Then, it will attempt parley with the Merfolk (while behind a shield and decked in armour, of course).

Five will try to locate military leaders of the Merfolk invasion.

The other fifteen will stay with me until I can figure out something better to do with them.

I ask the angel priest I had stationed in Merfolk lands why he didn't report that the Merfolk were preparing an invasion. It takes months or even years to prepare a full-scale mobilisation of such a large army. Did he leave before mobilisation began?

It will likely kill everything in the world..?

Depending on what you mean by "boil them off" it will either result in huge rainfalls everywhere, and great flooding, in the case of it remaining in the atmosphere, otherwise if it just disappears into non-existence there will be great drought everywhere, not enough rainfall to replenish whatever remaining stocks of water there are anywhere else, so everyone most likely dies of thirst, or starvation because they can't water crops or animals.

All in all, not a good idea.

"It would possible destroy the world and kill of all others races that live in the oceans."

All Ice Titans are told to construct walls around as many Rani towns as they can. Ice Golem Saints are sent dreams warning them to have their people flee to Rani towns. The Shadow Raven Saints are sent dreams telling them to take their people and hide in the darkest spots of their forests. Rani Saints receive dreams warning them to establish a military and to be on high alert for Merfolk attacks.

"I would like to suggest that all gods who helped make the Merfolk come and help me talk some sense into them before this gets any worse."

Appear within the Merfolk capitol in the form of a massive Merman made of ice.

"Bring me your leader for I am the god Neron, who allowed you to survive the ice!"

There curently are three important questions that need to be answered.

First: Why would merfolk even want to conquer other races?
Second: Where did merfolk gain the numbers to overtake over eleven bilion other mortals?
Last: Where did they get enough equipment for their armies?

The most likely answer to all three of these is divine involvement, and as such merfolk themselves are most likely mostly innocent. As such, I apologise for my previous outburst and offer to boil away oceans.


Have my angels apear before Merfolk as a huge storm cloud (they can bring clouds with them since they don't weighth that much) and inquire why and how merfolk are launching this attack.

EDIT: It would look something like this

"No, the Merfolk were made to be fully sapient. In the end, they could've chosen simply not to comply with the demands of whatever god put them up to this. If they were being threatened they could've prayed to the Council or to one of their patron gods. They chose to do what they did by choice and must be punished, just not in the way you entailed. To be honest, I care more for the fact that that they attacked my city more than anything, I'm otherwise indifferent to the mortals' attempts to conquer one-another."

That is why I said MOSTLY innocent. Yes, even if a god was involved, they chose to conquer. On it's own I do not consider conquest evil, but they were rather destructiive. Yet I will take my own advice and atempt to find out details before dispensing judgement.

"That would likely be the mermaids. They do come from the ocean, after all. It is possible that they got some weapons from the Seppo, considering that they are a race dedicated to producing weapons, though I can hardly be faulted for spreading my sphere. Considering all the things you did with the sun...

Anyway, it is likely they made their own weapons. Azem received a prayer stating that the Mermaids had increased their metal imports a while back, which could have foreshadowed this. It is possible they have been readying themselves since their creation. Why would you have the race you created invade the land dwellers? Of course they avoid the A-S-H cities. They are surrounded by smiley-faced many-handed steel guards that shoot a few hundred crossbows a minute that all explode in trenches, filled with angry tentacle monsters with hundreds of weapons open to them and steel beasts capable of transforming into weapons both of which have excellent magical skills, and watched over by a God who would have already killed them all. There is also the possibility they will attempt to frame me, as they did with the random arrow sticking out of Gruel's head."

I'd like to know the state of Ñurnea and the Wolf-people so that I may help them better.

I agree not to harm any civilian Merpeople, but soldiers must be neutralized, preferably not killed, but sometimes these things can't be helped.

Hey, I have an idea of how we can take these armies out.

Use up to 4E to surround dense marching Merfolk armies with a poisonous, purple gas. The poison is extremely lethal but causes no pain, just like falling asleep.
Send my Winged Servants to fly around Ñurnea and firebomb any Merfolk at the walls.

"It still falls on the problem of dissipation and the fact that mages can get rid of it. You also have to keep in mind that there are some civilian Merfolk residing as permanent citizens of non-Merfolk lands. I suggest making the gas be non-lethal and pain-causing with an enchantment against dissipation and manipulation by magic. Also, make it a coloured gas so they don't inadvertently wander into it and suddenly find themselves engulfed in pain/death because they don't know where to go or what to do to stop it."

In a completely unrelated note, I create the first Alreona Flasks in an Armu city under heavy Vindico guard:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Simple enchanted glass flasks, normally made of see-through material, capable of making an Alreona type homunculus. This is done by taking genetic material (like a hair, perverts....) from either one person, making a homunculus based on the DNA that is essentially their child with the vat adding some traits the other parent would give it (often making oddities such as strange colored hair or eyes), or two people, making what their child would be. It is capable of creating hybrids between races that would not normally be able to make offspring, taking some of both traits in a way that doesn't leave them crippled. The Alreona act just like the race that they are biologically in every way, including soul, but are sterile and can only viable make more of themselves via Alreona flasks. The flasks are filled with a variety of ingredients, creating a clear liquid, including the DNA in this step. This soon develops into a fetus, which must be 'feed' and taken care of by the parents who can watch the development. It takes about twice as long as carrying it normally would, hybrids taking the mean from both the parent's biological races and doubling it. The soul is developed during this time . Once the child is fully developed, the clear liquid changes color to bronze and the new baby may be safely removed so the flask can be reused.

"They weren't. Why would I want to attack NUKE? I've been trying hard not to provoke other gods into attacking me. Starting a war with you would not help in that regard. Besides, if I wanted NUKE destroyed or captured I'd simply send in my angels or attack it myself. I have no interest in either you or NUKE."

The fuck just happened.

Alright, well, I'm glad I put up those Obelisks now, and gave my followers all the shit I did. Didn't think Merfolk could survive this long out of water, actually, though they've obviously found some way to circumvent that.

Also, 'If I wanted X done I'd do it myself' is a terrible, terrible way to try and proclaim your innocence, because it acts like noone understands subtlety or measured action.

"Wait a minute, are you telling me they made actual, on-paper war plans to attack NUKE? I gave them an assignment to start building war machines but they certainly weren't meant to be fielded by ISAY themselves - they were to be mounted on Odolhirum's walls. If some members of ISAY were actually planning to attack NUKE then that's certainly a problem I have to fix. Are you sure it isn't some fantasy of a scientist who didn't like NUKE very much or something of the sort?"

Check the Turonni are settling into Chance alright. Food, water, education, entertainment and such.

((Also, don't think I didn't actually specify when I created them, but do they have the base luck noise (1.5 if worshiping, 0.67 if not) I mentioned? If not, add it on, for however much it costs))

Melyssa creates "Painpointing magic" and grants it to her most loyal followers and the Archfiends.

Ask the magical woman if the ghosts speak to her, or if she's only able to see them. Ic they speak to her, ask what they say.

Melyssa listens to prayers.

Spoiler: Painpoint Magic (click to show/hide)

Possessing painpoint magic allows people to locate someone nearby by feeling their pain. The more pain someone feels, the easier they are to locate. Someone with a lot of magical affinity can sense smaller amounts of pain from a greater distance than someone who has no affinity at all. The minimum is 100 meters.

"I propose that we punish the leaders of the mermen by torturing them. I also propose that we establish a link between the soldiers who helped with the invasion and the mermen leaders, so that they can feel the torture without actually getting hurt.

At least they are reincarnated without harm once killed, torturing is much less ethical. Again, it is like watching someone beat a rat infestation.

Tick 100: Q: "How do gods celebrate?"

The angel priests scouting around trying to find the military leaders have stumbled on a promising leak. They have found a room with a round table and a war map. Around the table are a jelly roll, a rock with a face drawn on, a jar of pickles, a cat with a wrinkled paper crown, and a bucket (‼) filled with something. There are signs pointing at them labeled "MERFOLK MILITARY LEADERS."

The angel priests searching for the leader have found a heavily armored Merman in a sealed airship surrounded by four great fountains with much gold and a nice cape.
? ? ?: "I demand nothing less than sovereignty over the entire world. I have millions of your followers ready to be executed at the first sign of disruption and many in rooms warded from detection but not destruction in the seas. I advise that you stand down and yield to your rightful emperor."
A screaming man in impressive armor wielding a massive axe has appeared, charging at the self-proclaimed emperor, who teleports away, sighs, and says something about an execution.

The angel priest says he had no idea it was happening as he saw no soldiers and no mobilization

(A map may be coming, but it's not the old one. This one's scale is much larger.)

A-S-H cities have begun preparing defenses for the inevitable attack, although their locations prohibit easy access. Some probably Merfolk-associated scouts of flying races have been shot down.

The Ice Titans have begun the construction of walls around as many Rani towns as possible. Ice Golem Saints have started an evacuation to Rani towns and Shadow Raven Saints have begun evacuations into deep forest. Rani Saints have begun drafting an army and keep watch for Merfolk attacks.

Neron has appeared in the Merfolk capital as a massive Merman of ice.
Random Mermaid: "Our glorious leader has left the sea to remove those disgusting land-dwellers!"
Azem has appeared in the Merfolk capital as a massive Merman with emerald scales.
Random Merman: "We can't! He's already left!!"

Idris has investigated the larger Merfolk cities and found nothing too out of the ordinary.

Khaziraad's angels have appeared before the Merfolk as storm clouds and asked why and how the Merfolk are launching the attacks.
Random Merman: "They are attacking to eliminate the land-dwelling filth! Our glorious conqueror who unified us didn't always use armies to conquer!!!"

The Mountwyrms, Dwarves, and Gem Dragons have been told of the Merfolk army. The more coastal Mountwyrms knew of it from first-hand experience.

The guardians of the Sewa have been propagated to maintain a 1:5 ratio with the Sewa. The Sewa not near Odolhirum have begun centralizing and building a city and finished with Cyrix's assistance. (Not sure if pantheon investment still wanted, so not deducted)

KI'Tork has shrugged epically.

Malakath has been alerted to heavy bombardment at the Restoration Knights' castle and all stored water disappearing.

A DSHS campus has been heavily damaged by an attack! Valuable medical research has been destroyed!

Those nominated in the contests have been granted the ability to access the skills and abilities of previous lives.

Neron has turned tens of thousands of Merfolk warriors into Eel Men. Fusil has granted the tongues of the Eel Men the ability to split and be prehensile. Neron has made the tentacles turn into smaller eels that devour weapons. Fusil has given them control so as not to devour weapons or even devour enemies, thus making the eels themselves weapons. Neron has turned the Eel Men and Eels into Sea Slugs unable to do anything but moan, curse Fusil, and crawl about. The leadership is unaffected.

The Winged Servants have begun firebombing the invading Merfolk and their auxiliaries and strange creatures of water and stone. The fire is mostly ineffective.

Quéßäre has surrounded many dense camps of sleeping Merfolk with a colorless, lethal gas targeted specifically at Merfolk. It seems a significant fraction anticipated gas attacks and were somehow prepared against this in addition to quite a few influentials who sleep in water and are mostly unaffected. The leadership also remains unaffected and has reanimated the dead. It seems likely that quite a few Merfolk who were actually merchants were killed when in the same area. Notable is the fact that no Eel Men, Eels, or Sea Slugs were affected, and they continue to moan, curse Fusil, and crawl about.

Neron has morphed together the Sea Slugs together to create the Drrol, a hive mind controlling different parts of the body, which resembles a giant sessile brain with tentacles. It has a childlike mind that knows only satisfaction and joy, needs neither to eat nor to breathe, and tells many stories. It has resistance to ice. It has now protected itself and killed a gawker, feeling joy and satisfaction while doing so. The leadership is unaffected.

Fusil has created the Alreona flasks.

Fortuna:
"And now our king is dead! I can finally make that game! I am so Smiled On!"
(Auspex is intended as both its definition and a bit of etymological trickery with "auspicious")
Tycho is currently rebuilding a shrine to Fortuna, unseen by anyone.
The parents of the child are on the way to Chance.
"But what's a little pain when I get to store food in my cheeks like a sailor?"
There is plenty of food, water, and entertainment at Chance. An unintended side effect of the prevalence of gambling halls is a generally improved understanding of probability.

Melyssa has created a Painpointing spell. Some mages are requesting a reverse Painpointing spell in which they see people who aren't (yet) feeling pain for its usefulness in playing Hide and Stake.

A celebration has been started, enforced by the Council!

The Pantheon Courts have been completed despite the war.

A Gruen city has been besieged by a massive army of Merfolk and various other races. An army of 5 million homunculi has appeared to attack the sieging force. The Gruen have begun swarming out and devouring anyone in the way and there is a cloud of Gruen spores around the area. Roughly 13% of each of the two armies have been consumed by the surprise attack. There is much chaos as both of the original armies struggle to decide who to concentrate on. The Merfolk army has called for a truce.

Sentinels have poured out of nowhere in particular to repel the invading forces. They defend the less damaged portions of the ground-based Good cities fairly well but suffer great losses.

The smoldering remnants of ISAY have inexplicably vanished.

A branch of the Life Lab's security in an invaded town has been breached! Researchers seem very nervous about something.

Malakath: Common sense flag toggled.
Azem: Common sense flag toggled for Gem Dragons and Mountwyrms.

Many Humans, Mountwyrms, Luminee, Wood Elves, Night Elves, and Odolhirum dwellers have been killed off!

The dead have been reincarnated or sent to their afterlives.

This update's constellations are the Seraph and Ikaku.

There is plenty of food, water, and entertainment at Chance. An unintended side effect of the prevalence of gambling halls is a generally improved understanding of probability.

Encourage setting up a university for further study into probability, and mathematics in general. Channel a small amount of fiscal donations toward this effort.

Propagate the Turonni and also give them the common sense flag, spending 7E.

On the Merfolk stuff: Perhaps we should engage the Merfolk emperor in discourse before punishing him? There must be a reason for this. If it's simply because the Merfolk are racist, perhaps a little bit of education might not go amiss?

I don't really understand what just happened but whatever. I guess I'll find some way to get something out of this situation.

Edit:

Is it just me or did I just have two armies try to attack me at the same time and then decide to fight each other first? If so, that's incredibly funny considering the Gruen seem to have ambushed both invaders and forced at least one of them into calling for a truce.

So anyone care to explain the homunculi or should I assume that and the Merpeople were both intended as secret attacks on the Gruen?

I nearly forgot to resolve the schism thing. It doesn't really matter too much, but it's both an Eye and an Orb, and I'm not associated with The Eye constellation as far as I know.
Also, Ophanim, time to mobilize. Cherubim made armor and hopefully some Seppo-made weapons if we have them, or weapons made by who we can get/what weapons we have, otherwise. Enchanted, blessings, with Seraphim mage accompaniment, and Sentinel support/supporting the Sentinels, fighting defensively when possible but aiming to retake as much of the Havens as possible, and using the Obelisks to their fullest extent, and then we can concentrate on keeping them out.
Templars! You are my special forces, for the moment. Which means you guys will be taking key objectives, disrupting enemy lines, guarding the super-important things likely to be attacked, etc. Increasing recruitment may be an excellent idea.

Oh, and make Chocobos magical now. Start the Chocobo Knights; develop a bond with their Chocobo(part of the Chocobo magic, woo yeah) that helps drive them both to greater deeds. Oh, and gives their rider some magic, nothing huge, mostly healing, protection, buffs (particularly speed; dat charge tho) and of course some Chocobos can use the soon-to-be infamous Chocobo Meteor.

"By the way, I have a gift for the Council."

A giant mural of every god who ever inhabited the bubble appears in the Council meta-location.

"The detail and quality of the artwork is very impressive, but the feel of the gods seems a bit...odd, somehow. Like I'm looking at something more intense than reality and then slightly shifted...... Yes, I see what's going on. The picture captures the various gods and goddesses in one moment in time, creating the appearance of intensity by its solidarity. Its shiftiness comes from its lack of shiftiness, ironically. The deities are massive forces of change and having us "sit still" like this causes a strange effect to those who actually know the nature of the gods. Of course, the effect is only present when the actual image quality is as high as it is, and the personalities of the gods - from whatever time their personalities were captured - are captured well. It is an excellent piece and I don't believe there's anything quite like it."

Oh, and make Chocobos magical now. Start the Chocobo Knights; develop a bond with their Chocobo(part of the Chocobo magic, woo yeah) that helps drive them both to greater deeds. Oh, and gives their rider some magic, nothing huge, mostly healing, protection, buffs (particularly speed; dat charge tho) and of course some Chocobos can use the soon-to-be infamous Chocobo Meteor.

"Are you sure that is a good idea? I heard one of your captains burned himself out while fighting on Chocobo back. What was his name again? Extra? Esera? Ersatz?"

Besides, just because KJP approved it does not mean I cannot be snarky, especially when you are adding an ability making it even more of a stolen idea. It isn't even a prominent idea, like a vampire or werewolf, but something from a very specific franchise. Who you are use the same abilities of (that meteor), same fighting concept of (the Knights), and probably the same fluff (Never played the games), it simply feels lazy.

Aside from that, Fusil reserves the right to roll his eyes about Malakath's little art criticism. What did you expect him to do, exactly?)

((I wanted something like horses, I didn't want actual horses, dragonriders seemed a bit much to me though I definitely thought about them, and Chocobos are only a little different from what we now know velociraptors looked like. So yeah, sure, it's lazy, but I had already made them and prefer to save my creativeness for things that actually matter, because chances are these guys will be forgotten about half the time. It's really just a matter of whether their steed is a large single colored ostrich with magic and a full coat of feathers, or a horse or rhino or whatever.))

((Actually, rhinos suit this so much better. And don't cost essence beyond domestication. Let's go with that, instead.))

Darruthian Knights. A group of individuals and teams, united by their common belief in the cause of Darruth, the protection of the innocent, and/or the ideals of chivalry(minus chauvinism). All mounted on rather fantastic steeds. The specific steed depends on the rider, but for the moment, with few other options available, the primary steed will be the Shield-Skull Rhinocerous, which looks slightly like a Triceratops. Only slightly. Eventually there will also be Irondrake mounts, Crag Rider mounts, and the Black-Plume Raptor. Unless making and domesticating all of these at once would only cost 2-3 Essence or so. In which case do so and we have some variety to show off as well.

Quote from: Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum on January 15, 2015, 08:29:55 pm

Spoiler: Time Slimes (click to show/hide)

A race that takes the form of a translucent colourful (They change colour to whatever they ate most recently, modified by the colours of whatever they are storing inside themselves) slime with a solid silver core. Around that core will be storage pouches (Vacuoles), one at birth and another every (n^2 + n-1^2 + ... + 1 where n = vacuole count) years they are alive. They can store objects within the pouch, and as long as an object is inside the pouch they are able to form their slime into that shape.
Example, if they eat a key, then they could make a bunch of keys jutting out of their body and become key coloured.

Their body outside the vacuoles is extremely acidic and moderately poisonous. They reproduce by budding, they create a second core and drop it and a vacuole along with some slime onto the ground, and it becomes a new slimeling.

Their brain is located inside the silver core, and so if that gets destroyed they die. This is the only way to kill them. But when something normally would destroy the core, they instead teleport one day into the future and are completely healed from all injuries. Once this has been used, the core turns black and they must wait a week before they can manipulate time again.

They also gain strength (10% of the dead's best attibute. Examples being speed, strength, magical ability, intelligence, attractiveness...) every time someone dies near them, and three times as much (30%) when they kill someone.

Updates: They will be able to inflate their pouches to float in the air and through space like a balloon, and more importantly emit a constant smell of overripe apples which prevents magic's use temporarily when smelt.

They also have the ability to combine species of plants and animals by storing samples of them in their pouches and combining them. This would have the side effect of killing the time slime.

"Cyrix himself is part of two pantheons so the idea of you being in two isn't unprecedented. Even if you wish to be of one pantheon, I encourage you to switch over to ours. Goodness does not inherently help to create wealh, unlike agriculture, and Darruth hasn't done much in the way of expressly increasing the the world's wealth, unlike myself. I can understand if you feel the need to stay with Darruth out of loyalty but thinking like that can only be unhealthy in the long-term, quite like mortal relationships. Join us, Azem. We can do great things together."

Hardly. Fusil atempted to kill Cim, which resulted in his own death. He actualy came worse out of that deal than the victim. Not that anyone would care. But I'd bet Fusil remembers that well. Another such transgresion would likely result in his permanent death. But as of now, there are no crimes for which he could be blamed.

Haha, I don't like to flirt until after someone takes me out to a nice dinner. So the Kitchen God is the only one I might flirt with ;).

I'm a tad bit insulted. When have you ever seen me eat someone I've taken a liking to? I spoil the Devourer like my kid and I treat the Lords of Hunger with great respect. If you recall correctly, your prophet would never even have had a family if it were not for my influence. You may have given him power and wealth but it was me who gave him a family which is what he actually wanted. Now do you really think after all that, I'd eat him unless he did something absolutely terrible to me?

I may be a monster but I'm not without compassion for those who gain my favor. Believe me, I could be much much worse of a monster than I am now.

I'm not going to answer that question, because I know the way you're going to respond. You're going to say something about 'but technically X isn't untrue' or 'but technically that's not slander you're angry at' and I'm gonna tell you right now to knock it off in advance. You don't know what me and Azem have been working on together. You don't know the ways Goodness can benefit an economy; for one thing, spreading the Wealth around and getting the money flowing through the system is how an economy works, and fairly similar to how charity works. For another, I've gotten sick of you trying to, for lack of a better word, or rather, this word having implications I would rather avoid for the moment, corrupt people and/or gods, tempting them away from Goodness. Quite literally, in fact. Usually you do so by attacking my character, accomplishments, or services, and saying you can offer something better. You are serving as a force of temptation and corruption, and doing so by saying you're better than me. Can you see why that might upset me, not only because it's rather rude and you seem to basically shout over anything I have to say concerning the subject, so eager are you to grab a new toy or ally, regardless of how it affects the person or god in question, but because I am a God of Good and therefore it is my goal to get people to be Good and when you are almost literally tempting people away from that it's bad for themselves and others, not just my losing an ally or follower? I say that last part because I get the feeling you're the kind of god who only understands it in those terms, based on the actions you've displayed.

So, in short: stop being a dick about making friends, Malakath.

We actually encourage people to look to you and your priests for guidance in matters of morality because you're better at providing that specific service than I or my own. I don't steal from your follower base to add to my own. Quite the reverse, actually. Secondly, I see no problem in giving rewards to those who worship me. To criticise me for doing so is to criticise every god or goddess who's ever exist, yourself included and Melyssa possibly excluded, depending on your point of view. (No offence, Mel.)

I invent baptism. A baby can be baptised by a Sephirian priest to permanently be a bit better at magic in general and a bit better on top of that for Divine(Malakath) magic. This ceremony is only potent for a limited time after the baby is born, at which point baptisms are no more effective than standard blessings, though they can still serve as a purely ceremonial service.

I ask some of my priests and followers about their opinion of baptism. If I've done it correctly, there should be no downsides to baptism.

Tick 101: A: "By ignoring their troubles!"

Merwen has told the Drrol that Neron dislikes murderers. The Drrol joyously and creepily says that it, too, hates murderers. The gawker has reincarnated.

KI'Tork has started a snowball fight with the serpentine megabeast.

(Fortuna: -7E)
Fortuna:
"I thought you liked those shrines."
The Turonni welcome the child's family and introduce them to the Five Perfect Solids along with statues of blind Fortuna.
"Sure!"
The Chance university of chance has been founded and is under construction. Some of the donations have been sent toward this effort.
You have created 60 000 more Turonni.

(Population of Sewa: Approximately 10-20K, I think.)

KI'Tork and Neron have created the Lightbulb and Wire of Nikjol.

Cyrix has visited the Sewa in owl form and demanded that they party along. They have begun partying somewhat nervously. There is an inordinately high number of people carrying pitchforks and improvised polearms.

A colossal mural of all the gods who ever existed has appeared before the Council.

KI'Tork has triggered much wary feasting throughout the lands.

Darruth has resolved the schism, which has died down a lot. Regrettably, there are still a few lunatics who still believe that Darruth is tied to The Eye and therefore to insanity and Void influences.

The Ophanim have begun mobilizing and equipping Cherub and Seppo-made arms where possible. Seraphim mages have been sent out to support the Sentinels defensively and retake the Havens. The Obelisks continue to defend the floating Haven(s) from aerial attack. The Templars have begun recruiting and attempting to remove the Merfolk army's leadership. There are much losses on both sides.

(I need a more detailed plan of repayment for the loan. Is it a continuous repayment or a lump sum thing at the end? Is there any interest involved?)

Darruth has founded the order of the Darruthian Knighs who currently ride on the Shield-Skull Rhinoceros and may access other types of mounts as they are created.

Cim has handed out glowsticks and begun playing fast, complex, and orderly music probably to drown out whatever music the gods are currently hearing.

Atropos has created 100 time slimes on each of Keshan, Slytha, and Nikjol.

Khaziraad has donned a party hat-shaped tower. Neron has put on a party hat made of ice. Fusil is now wearing a missile warhead with colorful flowers on it. Amathet has donned an amethyst party hat.

Tykki has begun firing splatters of water at random gods. Melyssa has begun making snowballs. Cim has entered the DBP and prepared a stock of snowballs. The arena is a snowy forest. Fortuna has entered the DBP. Cim seems to be an expert at dodging the snowballs. KI'Tork has entered the DBP with many snowballs and joins the fight. Cim has begun constructing a snow fortress and tossed many snowballs at Fortuna and they manage to find their way somehow regardless of obstructions and dodging. Fortuna has tossed a few yellow snowballs at the present gods and carved out some basic walls. Amathet has gone to the DBP and begun preparing snowballs. The other five remaining Shiny Ones have also appeared by Amathet and they, too, begin preparing snowballs and retaliating. Melyssa has gone to the DBP and begun sharpening snowballs. KI'Tork has begun a barrage on Cim, who seems to be able to avoid all of the snowballs thrown. Tykki has gone to the DBP with a vaguely cylindrical "snowball" and begun "firing" on Amathet and nothing of significance happens beyond Tykki getting hit by the flying snowballs. Cim has begun throwing snowballs at branches above Fortuna and KI'Tork, causing snow and icicles to fall on them. Somehow, snowballs Cim throws cannot be deflected or blocked. Fortuna has spawned some marmosets to distract the assorted fighters and begun dancing and kicking at the others. Fortuna has also begun constructing a larger snow fort with turrets and a moat. The Shiny Ones have begun concentrating their fire on Fortuna and Cim and Cim remains very difficult to hit. Tykki and Fusil hve gone to Nikjol to continue a better snow war. Fortuna fires on Tykki and mathet, hiding from Cim, whose hits continue to hit their intended targets. The walls of Fortuna's fort have been thickened. A dragon-shaped mound of snow appears by Fortuna. Neron has created a massive tower of snow with a cannon for firing snowballs at the top. The dragon-shaped piece of snow has been buried by a substantial chunk of snow from Fortuna's fort and Fortuna continues to throw snowballs at random targets indiscriminately while making sounds. The Shiny Ones continue to approach Fortuna. Fortuna has begun throwing small pieces of snow at the Shiny Ones and tripping them with small blockades. KI'Tork has left the fight and begun preparing a fragrant hot drink. Cim's stomping has lifted much snow and covered many. Neron has created eight legs and two cannons on his tower. The legs seize up and the cannons explode! The Shiny Ones take flight. Darruth has created a six-ringed snowball-fight-only Avatar construct which proceeds to shape 1500 snowballs and throw them continuously.

A rock with a face on it has managed to bypass Cim's dodging ability and exploded, dealing 34E worth of damage!

Raptil has created large herds of *Spidersheep.

(My names are just placeholders so I can refer to the creations as something less awkward than something like "creation with four tentacles each with six eyes that do X, Y, Z, W, V, and U and with a mouth..." You're encouraged to change them if you want.)

The Dwarves, Mountwyrms, and Gem Dragons have indeed disappeared.

Azem has announced the Wyrmsmeet, a meeting of Dragons. It is also variously called the Dragonsmeet, the Grand Meet of All Dragonkind, Drakesmeet, Dragonfest, ScaleCon, and Hoard Horde.

Malakath has announced baptism as a part of Malakathianism for minor improvement in magic in general and improvement in Malakathian divine magic which is only available for a short amount of time after birth. The priests and followers of Malakath don't have much to say about it yet.

The BeSan's castle has been named Sanimtum.

Cassie: "I'm.. uh.. waiting for someone." <turns away>

Atropos and the deathbells have begun fighting the Merfolk, who by now have recruited from many other races. Fighting is intense and they are almost evenly matched.

The Merfolk armies can no longer strictly be called the Merfolk armies. They now have a sizable fraction of willing recruits of many races. They continue to rampage and grow in influence.

You have created 60 000 more Turonni.

Reward them by encouraging the travelling entertainers to visit Chance. Also treat them well when they visit. Attend the show personally.

Listen to prayers

I'm also glad that Neron is being sensible with the Merfolk emperor. Perhaps his motives can be discovered now.

Also, oppose 100.00: Give emperor immortality.

I think this was initially proposed after there was a suggestion of teleporting him into the sun. Is this not happening anymore? Because making him immortal seems foolish, if nothing else is going to happen.

I mean it was foolish to do it when he was in the sun too, but even more so now.

I have reasons to believe that this emperor is either very powerful, at least when it comes to teleporting, or a very good illusion. Either way, banishing it to the Void is unlikely to do anything.

(It's more like <I can take the Essence loan whenever I want and I get the Essence immediately> and I give my non-binding word that I'll pay back the amount I stated by the time I said I would.

Don't be foolish, Malakath. How do you know that the Void and its denizens can't influence the results of this proposal? You don't. Thus we have to question him, probably in some kind of anti-Void bubble, so we can find out. I oppose your proposal.

Propagate the Turonni further, 8E

Also, Azem, I would be wary of Malakath altering deals. She is now giving you less interest overall than her initial loan.

"I'm actually giving him the same amount of interest. Before it was 8-6=2 and now it's 10-8=2. In any case, perhaps we should also replicate the anti-Void energy present in the Lunagee (formerly known as the Keshan dust ring) and make it its own attunement of magic?"

Indeed. You are correct, if not for the fact that interest rates are generally percentages, else there wouldn't be much profit in usury, would there?

Your initial request was for 6E, paying back 8E later. That's 33% interest. Now you want 8E and will pay back 10E, which is 25%.

My apologies. I find I am distracted easily by tasks related to other matters, if they seem important at the time.


Darruth also forms, taking on a form that seemed to consist of chains and vines wrapped around a vaguely dragonoid form created primarily from armor and shields to create a semblance of continuity along the outside, whilst inside, the Orb/Eye burned steadily. Glowing hoops or wheels hovered around various limbs, and the face was inscribed with glowing runes. The chains and vines seemed to both restrain and hold together the construct, drooping down to drag as they walked, the vines even dropping off sometimes, though they never ran out.

Will this work?

You're incorrect. Plain and simple. You are wrong, in this case. There isn't a downside to this proposal, to put it simply. If it takes forever, oh well, we didn't lose anything. If it doesn't, and in fact is useful, we all stand to benefit. We'll be able to see beforehand how much Essence it will cost, and if it doesn't cost all that much, we can go through with it.

However, if we do go through with it and it does cost essence, I think part of the proposal should be that those who refused to chip in shouldn't be allowed to gain anything from it. Feel free to not support it, Fusil~

Assumptions are so petty of you, Fusil. You're still wrong. We get a huge amount of planets to serve as tools we can maneuver to use for magic in case we wanted to contact other bubbles. I have no reason whatsoever to believe you on any of this, and I don't. It won't increase the size of the bubble and they build temples because it's the mortals that give weight, not the planets. Planets are just huge chunks of rock. All those planets allow us to multiply our races immensely, and provide safe testing grounds for experiments.

Patterns, Malakath. It's evidenced by runes, and Cim probably knows far more about it than I, but simply put; geometric patterns, recurring sequences, and alignments of mystical phenomena enable magic to become more powerful and more efficient. Scale and effectiveness differs, but if we had enough material we could probably create a galaxy for the express purpose of allowing us to communicate with other Bubbles without killing ourselves.

If that's the case then why don't we just make a new Bubble we can move into before the Luminals destroy this one? I'm not suggesting we do that, I'm just curious as to why we shouldn't."

EDIT: Lord Sephir Lecta checks the Library for books relating to fusions between gods from other Bubbles.

"What good would that do? The new bubble would be destroyed as well. If anything, we need Void knowlage to do such a thing, it would only be playing into their plans. If you think we can evacuate billions of souls into it, you are insane. If this bubble is destroyed, everything in it is destroyed to. We might be able to make it into that new bubble, but the Void would be impassable to mortals, even more so without the Void telling us how..."

"Why can't we just negotiate some kind of agreement with them if that's the case?"

"Don't be a fool. Even assuming that they where able to evacuate everything from our bubble all nice and happy, then the Umbrals would see us as teaming up with the Luminals (rightfully so) and destroy our bubble to keep them from escaping. The best we could hope for is being caught in a war we can hardly fight and taking one of them with us when we die, if we did such a foolish thing."

"They have hated each other since the center of the time web? In terms you can understand, forever. Aside from that, they are not logical beings you can negotiate with. They are untrustworthy, evil, demons who would betray you in an instant if it meant furthering their goals by even an inch. They are beings who would destroy bubbles for fun if they didn't need them. They corrupt, everything they touch becomes corrupted. Trusting one is insane, trusting all of them is something a brain dead Yaos would come up with. Even if we did become friends with both sides, had them both agree to stop fighting and be bestest friends and not corrupt the bubble or destroy it just because, the Liminal would probably see this as an assault against balance and kill us."

*sighs*

I've been reading the books when I can, Fusil, especially those to do with the Void, and nothing I've seen supports your claims. Maybe I'm reading the wrong books, in which case, if you could simply tell me the title, I could confirm. Otherwise, I must maintain my position that you are wrong; it is not I whom the burden of proof lies on. It is you. You are the one making extravagant claims. You are the one trying to tell everyone what to do. So prove that we should. Preferably without being an ass in the process.

And you're right; on their own, they don't. They help magic that is used with them. That is how they work. Don't bother telling me I'm wrong, I can already hear you saying it, the fact of the matter is that I know from experience, and is some portion of what powers the Ley Lines.

And KI'Tork, he's wrong about them all being untrustworthy backstabbing bastards. A lot of them are, but they don't break their contracts, from what I've read. Still not a good idea, as lawmancers never break contracts either, but they can still wring you dry.

I'd rather honestly ignore them when at all possible, for all purposes, until we have things sorted out inside the Bubble.

I have a question, Fusil. How would you know bubbles had been destroyed without a mortal presence in them? A. How would you know they were destroyed since the books can't exactly document their Bubble's destruction considering everyone in the bubble would be dead or paradoxed and B. Unless a God wrote it, no mortals means no authors, and if you think we're all idiots why would they be any different?

Finally, while Creation and Magic are not the same, neither are they separate, as you should well know, considering your recent projects. The one flows into the other. And a tool for Creation is assisted by having an ordered pattern as much as anything else.

((KJP hasn't sent me a new book in the last few weeks despite pokes. >.>))

"And so we continue the same endless dance unto eternity."

"I could show you the sources. But you wouldn't believe them, would you? Not unless you got them yourself. But you are a lazy idiot, who will never get them himself. Quite the conundrum, isn't it?"

(There where multiple books, when KJP was going through his *no title* phase. Also, I can't remember the price check for talking to other bubbles exactly, but remember it being absurdly high. Anyone have a link to it?)

"Then you know that their goal is to increase the size of our bubble? That is the first thing anyone learns about the Luminals. There are multiple different books saying the same thing, I might end up sending you a copy later. What exactly are you claiming I am wrong about? Everything I have said is true so far. Reading any books about bubbles being destroyed and you should find the same results, somewhere, if they have not been hidden away already."

"*Sigh* Are your ears powered by "magic"? I can see how inefficient they are. It can increase the power of magic. I said as much last time. What it can not do is make magic as powerful as you believe it does. For the amount of essence we would have to put into communicating with another bubble, we could make trillions of mortals, multiple solar systems, and enough food to satisfy even the God of Hunger. Magic has trouble doing something we can do for even a few essence. It is week. Even if you forced our bubble into some magic symbol, even if you amplified magic's power a billion times, it would still not be powerful enough to carry a signal through the Void. Not if you did it, not if Malakath did it, not if every being in the bubble supported it. You are highly overestimating the power of magic. You do not even understand what it is. How weak it is."

"How would that make me wrong? They follow the word of their contract. They are untrustworthy backstabbers. Those two things can exist easily together. As I said, they are demons. Is that not what traditional demons do? Make Faustian bargains where they control even the wording? Only an absolute moron like Durrath would believe they are trustworthy. Don't talk to them, don't get near them. Avoid them."

"Many ways, including that Gods wrote them. They would be different because they are at least intelligent enough to write a book, and it is consistent with other books of the same kind. Not every God is an idiot, I exist after all. I had always assumed the other bubbles where full of Gods more like me, and less like you morons. Otherwise, they would be wiped out by now."

Quote

Finally, while Creation and Magic are not the same, neither are they separate, as you should well know, considering your recent projects. The one flows into the other. And a tool for Creation is assisted by having an ordered pattern as much as anything else.

"Doesn't that prove just how little you know? Do you know what is outside our Bubble? Another Bubble. A huge one, the Void. Do you know what is inside that? Void energy. It is not ordered, it is not patterned. And it is virtually indistinguishable from our Essence. Chaos, without order. Creation doesn't benefit from order, making a "magic" symbol in the stars will not assist in our Creation. Magic is completely and utterly different in every way, and only someone who knew nothing of either would believe otherwise."

RNG (https://www.random.org/) seems the best idea.

Set it so it's between 1 and 13, highest number wins. Seeing as I'm the god of luck, though, I think I should be able to do it between 3-13, to represent my ultra-luck. ;D

Same rules for me though, no chance for aces or twos, given my luck

Spoiler: misc, check here first if there are issues (click to show/hide)

The proto-star still needs a lot of time to become remotely habitable. Planets don't form in a millennium even in ideal conditions.

Freebies: If you want some planets usable for the game, either spend Essence for it the proper way, get the other players to agree to change the fundamental scope/scale of the game, or be prepared to wait endlessly. As this is the reason Essence even exists, there will be no appeals on issues like these. There may be countless  other planets and stars out there, but we're not playing Star Conquest Galactic Warlords Space Wars Logistics Edition or something like that. I don't mind switching over to something like this if there's enough of a demand for it, though. It's just that it clashes strongly with the scope of YG.

(KI'Tork and Joha: Did I get the right proposal(s)?)

Books: Looks like tonight's going to be a writing night. I hope the quality's OK.

Bothering with card games: Inconsequential stuff actually doesn't bother me at all. As it happens, I already have a script for drawing cards without replacement (partly because of a Savage Worlds campaign and partly because there's a god of Luck)

Consequential stuff masquerading as inconsequential stuff to abuse discounts, however...

Correspondences: I'd guess K♠ Fusil, Q♠ Malakath, J♠ Tykki, K♥ Darruth, Q♥ Atropos, J♥ Kit?, K♦ Azem, Q♦ Joha, J♦ Alprozem, K♣ Cim, Q♣ Grauel?, and J♣ Vartija?. Coincidentally, there are 13 constellations for each of the Keshan and Slytha systems.

Cyrix has blessed those who joined the party and left them with a flock of messenger owls for listening to the community's requests and prayers and given them an unspecified artifact. Cyrix has also distributed small bags of seeds that relieve stress and worries.

Neron has appeared before the Merfolk Emperor as a massive snake of ice.

Merfolk Emperor: "I am or will soon be the emperor of Keshan. I am a high-born Merman."

The Drrol says it will show goodness and make peace (creepily) to mortals.

"Can you curse my luck for this game completely?"
"Those entertainers are great!"

Neron has spread the icy seeds across Nikjol. The original planted icy seed has begun producing crystalline buds, some of which have begun blooming.

KI'Tork has placed a massive cup next to a Luminee village. The Luminee immediately begin repurposing it as a bunker in case the merfolk army comes. KI'Tork has also distributed a gallon of hot cocoa to each member of the set of followers that worship KI'Tork and Neron.

Azem has promised to give Malakath 8E to be paid back as 10E on T112 (unenforced). Malakath does not have the capacity to hold this.

Fortuna has created around 20M Turonni.

At the Dragonsmeet are Azem, Malakath, Grauel, Darruth, and Atropos. The Ikakus chat about chi utilization and the Gem Dragons discuss contracts, legalese, and lawmancy. There are many thousands of Gem Dragons on the new planet and about a hundred Ikakus on each of Keshan and Slytha. Darruth appears to be taking notes somehow on the present dragons. Malakath ogles Darruth. Alprozem and his family are relaxing and devouring some beryls. Atropos has served some drinks from a magic teapot.

Atropos has teleported in and not poked Malakath in the ribs! Malakath does not twitch and seems not very annoyed, leaving the existence of godly souls up for continued debate. Atropos returns to serving drinks and mingling with the guests.

Atropos continues killing the Merfolk. The Emperor is available for contact (but does not actively seek out anyone in particular).

Darruth has pledged to oppose Malakath attempting to summon Joha's assistance to kill Atropos, kill her, and drain her.

Tykki: "As you command, Sir."

Malakath has left the Dragonsmeet abruptly.

Tykki has ended up not doing anything and cannot find Malakath.

Malakath has read some non-divine books on skyfeatures.

Melyssa:
"I have opened the BAKERY OF PAIN! Want a loaf?"
"How do the Flagellants get to experience so much pain?"
"I think this man is an infiltrator against our Glorious Resistance. Any advice?"

KI'Tork has opened up Orphanage Monasteries on both worlds, checked on Nikjol, and created 900 000 Kobolds.

Books on fusions between gods seem to indicate that it is both expensive and carries a high risk of complications ranging from lesser results such as sphere exchange to annihilation even for those of seemingly similar spheres. The ease of fusion appears to be positively correlated with Void influence, but no experiments have been conducted to establish a causal relationship if causality even exists with the Void's meddling.

Grauel has begun playing solitaire. The Grue Dragons in attendance seem to be literally chewing the scenery. Many stand around watching them eat rock and sand. Fortuna has asked to join the game of solitaire. Grauel and Fortuna have begun an undescribed card game. Grauel and Fortuna each have half of the deck.
Fortuna: J 6 3 K♦
Grauel: 9 5 1

Atropos has continued Serac's tradition of making punctuation tangible by scattering question marks throughout the worlds.

Merfolk Emperor: "Gods and goddesses of the Council! I am now satisfied with my conquest and will begin rebuilding in the conquered territories. An army is not good only for fighting, after all. The CKG will...be left undisturbed for now."

This update's constellations are the Ring and Horse.

(Retcon please. Azem agreed to loan me Essence but I haven't yet decided to take the loan. I have the option of taking the loan whenever I want, though. Now, I really need to know how much Essence I have right now before I do anything.)

Melyssa reads a book about the origin and methods of torture, written before she appeared.

I Propose that we send some spies to see if the Merfolk emperor is up to any good.

Quote

"I have opened the BAKERY OF PAIN! Want a loaf?"

"That sounds truly delicious, I'll take two dozen. What are they made of?"

Quote

"How do the Flagellants get to experience so much pain?"

"The Flagellants are made to experience pain, thus they are very creative in finding new methods of doing so."
Melyssa grants the man the ability to be very creative when thinking about ways of torture.

Quote

"I think this man is an infiltrator against our Glorious Resistance. Any advice?"

"Before I can help you with this, what are you resisting. I wish to know that, for I do not want to offend any gods."

Melyssa uses 13E to propagate the Flagellants

KI'Tork uses 3 Essence to increase the number of Kobolds and declares the Cup Bunker a holy site and blesses the nearby Luminee village along with wondering what happened to their patron Deity.

KI'Tork also checks on the Luminee population and their overall status.

"Because I thought you cared about them."

They're a physical representation of worship to me, but it generally requires people to do that.

I could quite feasibly have no temples or shrines, but then people wouldn't know I exist. Given my fickle nature, and the fact mentioning me by name, or my particular sphere of influence, isn't likely to garner my attention, I need other ways to let people know I exist, beyond rumour and the abstract.

Fusil, you're being sensible at the moment, so I'll ask you a question about the Void I've been wondering about, since this is a subject you probably do have a fairly damned good understanding of, at least as much as can be had from the Books. If the Void only gets power when the Gods give it power, where do Void cults and worshippers come in? Don't they spread Void Influence as well?

And does anyone else find it incredibly odd that the Divine Library works at all, considering how difficult it would be to even communicate with another Bubble, yet we were able to obtain books from many different ones, including ones detailing the destruction of their or another Bubble(somehow, still not sure how that works), at comparatively low cost?

"Five tiers, based on age and caste thus impossible to change. The Highest is the Hadal, the leaders of the three factions. Only three of them. Next is the Abyssal, who there are two of, with the weakest faction not having any. Bathyal is next, and much more numerous. The last two are Mesal and Epial, who make the most contact with Gods (such as Cim, likely) and are often the least involved in the Faction War. They are fighting because they hate each other, obviously. You don't really have to concern yourself with the Edge or Churn, just don't touch them and you will be fine."

Quote

"Where is our Bubble Located and how did the Multiverse begin?"

"Why the sudden bout of curiosity? Anyway, since space is moving around the Bubble, it is difficult saying where we are located. And it isn't like it matters. The multiverse seems to start as a single point, I have heard and made several theories about how it was created but none really sound legitimate as of right now. Besides, outside the bubble, things like 'created' are difficult to find, if nothing else time and causality are mixed up enough that it is nearly impossible to tell what made it."

"I have reason to believe the Void Followers where only able to become Void Cultists because of Serac's stupid mistake of making a temple. Yes, Null can speak with, make deals with, and otherwise gain power and influence over the bubble, but it is insignificant compared to what we do and was likely caused by us as well. Unless the Null are passing us, it is difficult for even Gods to hear what the Null are saying, let alone Mortals. Serac's temple acted as a radio tower, allowing non-Emissary type Ones to talk to Mortals clear enough to start cults. There is no evidence of cults before Serac's action."

"How many Tiers of Void Entity are there?"

"Five. From highest to lowest: Hadal, Abyssal, Bathyal, Mesal, Epial."

Quote

"can they move back and forth between them?"

"Only up as they age and gain power, to my knowledge."

Quote

"Why are the Void Entities fighting?"

"For the same reasons as we do, personal schisms. For the factions, they aren't exactly fighting. The Luminants want to find the Umbrals, who are hiding, while the Liminals try to keep a balance between the two other factions."

Quote

"What are the Edge and the Churn?"

"The Edge is the border between a Bubble and the Void, a barrier extremely hard to cross without divine power. The Churn is the primordial entropy in the broken spacetime of the Void. Without a carefully planned course, collisions with energies quickly cause destructive paradoxes to anything in it."

Quote from: LuckyKobold on January 25, 2015, 03:48:20 pm

"Where is our Bubble Located and how did the Multiverse begin?"

"Our Bubble is somewhere in the Void. That's as much as I know for these questions."

Quote from: Rolepgeek on January 25, 2015, 03:53:16 pm

If the Void only gets power when the Gods give it power, where do Void cults and worshippers come in? Don't they spread Void Influence as well?

"It seems to me any sapient being can give influence to the Null. Gods are worth more to them, but they will gladly take mortal cultists."

Quote

And does anyone else find it incredibly odd that the Divine Library works at all, considering how difficult it would be to even communicate with another Bubble, yet we were able to obtain books from many different ones, including ones detailing the destruction of their or another Bubble(somehow, still not sure how that works), at comparatively low cost?

"Assuming there are nearly infinite Bubbles out there, it is quite likely some of their ideas would, by chance, survive the Churn to find their ways to us. Or perhaps, less likely, they were written by the Null themselves to deceive us, or a mortal with a knack for fiction. Maybe there is a Null of Knowledge literally made out of books on all subjects."

It came from somewhere beyond the farthest reaches of the world that we know, like a creature of shadow
It came to mock us, for we are so naive that we can't comprehend it,
And truly, we are fragile and small
I cannot hold onto the truth
As it slips right through my fingers like a picture that is made of smoke
I don't know how I will last, because my body is so weak that I may crumble away

Uninstall, uninstall (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SGmjBrHArQ)
I was told that I am just a single speck of dust
And cannot be more
But I do not understand or grasp the true meaning
Uninstall, uninstall
I no longer have a choice but to pretend
I am brave
For a soldier has to be brave

Our unseen thoughts have been growing ever sharper, unbeknownst to us, deep within the subconscious
But an incling of what has been occuring is revealed to me as
I hear the restless monsters when I sleep
Now my heart is empty and numb
Save for an unrelenting impulse to destroy all things that I can see
It is born from all of the pain, for I have lost the will to choose the day I'll crumble away

Uninstall, uninstall
If there's noone who can take this burden in my place
Then there's no choice
But to take my simple life and
Uninstall, uninstall
And it makes me want to end it all with my own hands
Is it wrong?
Surely it's alright to want to uninstall.

As far as I knew, Cim, the Hadals were both the fewest and most powerful.

In any case, I don't believe it matters at this juncture, not yet. We can't do anything about them except try and keep the harm they do to a minimum at the moment.

"We cannot kill even a single null. It's impossible.
Think about this, there are infinite bubbles. Void cultists exist in bubbles. Therefore, all nulls have infinite essence from the infinite cultists. And that's not even including void energy...

All races are permitted to practice Malakath-worship through the spilling of blood in military situations, just as the Dwarves are.

The temporary name of 'Sanimtum' for the Restoration Knights' castle has been changed to 'Castle Irilum'.

A mage's competition is announced on Slytha. The theme is Elemental. All competing mages must show as grand a display of their magical ability as possible in the Death Battle Plane. The prize will be either a very large amount of money or something else the mage might want, within reason. All contestants will be given enhanced common-sense so they aren't tempted to present a well-detailed ice sculpture or something as their grand display of Elemental magic. Mortals only. (Unaging allowed.) No assistance allowed.

Lord Sephir gets a book from the Divine Library about soul burnout. Does it occur with all attunements or just Cosmic? What makes Cosmic magic more dangerous than other magic attunements?

Atropos organizes a group of Twilight Born (Who would make amazing assassins if you think about it) into an assassins guild known as "Yol-tore". The assassins of the guild will gain the ability to steal the life-force of those they kill, extending their life at the cost of the target's.

Kit needs to get better if she wants to contend with the likes of Tykki and the other Arkangels... She should train more!
Also, she wants a rematch with Tykki. Could that be arranged?
Kit will spend some time every tick training in the DBP, anyone who wants to train with her/spar with her can. If no other god's angels show up, Angela and Nuparhi are willing to help her.

Malakath organises a number of non-Void-worshipping sapients (besides Golems, Gremlins, Armu, etc.) into the group known as the Evil-Eaters.

Spoiler: Evil-Eaters (click to show/hide)

Evil-Eaters alternate between killing evil people who've become powerful (kings, warlords, wizards, etc.) and those who are just really evil (sacrifices children to the Void, for example).

When an Evil-Eater kill someone, they eat most of the evil inhabiting their soul, allowing the formerly evil soul to go to Zeranzel. The remaining evil is used to power the Evil-Eater's super-powered evil side. Activating their evil side makes them axe-crazy, evil, and much more powerful (due not just to an increase in raw power, but also due to extreme ruthlessness in fighting style), but they retain enough control that they focus their energy on their target. Evil-Eaters gain more control as they eat evil, similar to the way a god increases their max Essence by overflowing their Essence past the cap, but their control increases even if they haven't reached that cap.

If their evil side overflows to the point where they can't control it, that excess evil will manifest outside of the body as a spirit of pure evil known as an Evil. These Evils are automatically and immediately eaten by Lord Malakath. Allowing the spirit to reincarnate would be disastrous and sending it to the Shadow Realm would be pointless because it's impossible for it to redeem itself.

All Evil-Eaters carry special gems. These gems absorb the excess power carried by the evil side when the excess is made by a decrease in control rather than from evil over-gain. Once full, the gems shatter, sending the newly-born Evil to Lord Lecta.

Unlike the Bellatorus Sanatores, the Evil-Eaters do not reside in a single HQ. They work solo, in pairs, trios, or small groups, usually. They're willing to kill a lesser evil or a less-powerful evil before primary targets in exchange for money.

Needless to say, Evil-Eaters are devout to Malakath and are non-Void-worshippers. Oddly enough, though, they're not as devoted to Darruth as one might think because their power and their ability to control their power isn't granted by Good - it's granted by Souls. They probably still pray to him because he's the god of Good and their mission is to destroy evil, but they don't inherently gain anything by doing so.

All Evil-Eaters are given enhanced common-sense.

Lord Vandire Lecta invents a new chi/magic technique that can be used by intermediate or above chi-users. A chi-user can convert magical energy into chi and thus gain access to more powerful attacks, however, this is not the new technique. The new technique is done by cutting their chi-firing extremity and drawing blood which allows for maximumly-efficient magic-to-chi conversion when drawing chi to that extremity. This technique can be rather dangerous as drawing too much magic will result in soul-burnout.

I'll keep an eye on both of these new "experiments" and will intervene if unexpectedly bad consequences arise. (0E) For example, I designed Evil-Eaters so that it's functionally impossible for an Eater to be overcome with evil. One thing I'm particularly interested in is if praying to Darruth weakens their ability to control their evil side. It certainly doesn't strengthen it, after all.

"Ah, you mean the angel-eating incident? There's actually some important differences between then and now. For one, I was in the process of establishing my existence at the time. For two, I hadn't prepared myself for soul-eating mentally or magically, which means I couldn't suppress the soul enough to prevent it from "leaking" into me. With my existence firmly established and full preparation in place, there won't be any problems. Still, I am grateful for your concern and I acknowledge your wisdom in asking that question."

Malakath organises a number of non-Void-worshipping sapients (besides Golems, Gremlins, Armu, etc.) into the group known as the Evil-Eaters.

While I disagree vehemently with KI'Tork's viewpoint, those things are still a terrible idea, for any number of reasons.

And the amount of logic shown by you believing that the God of Good would weaken someone's ability to control evil impulses, rather than strengthen that ability, is remarkably stifled.

And I would appreciate if you would come to me first if you're trying to do something like this, because chances are you don't know what Evil is, a lot of the times. Besides which, these abominations make it impossible to redeem someone's soul, and as there is no such thing as Pure Evil, you are erasing that chance every time they eat a soul./i]

I also accept Fusil's proposal.

Also, the nature of Good and Evil is hugely fluid, and subject to great debate. Just because these so-called Evil-Eaters think someone or something is evil, doesn't mean they actually are Evil.

Indeed, Melyssa's followers routinely torture each other in her name. Torture, in and of itself, could be considered Evil, yet these people do it willingly, by choice. Does that make them Evil? No, it does not.

This is a foolish thing to do Malakath; if these Evil-Eaters come near any of my worshipers or Chance, they will be, at best, expelled from the region.

"I oppose this. I've done some experiments and chi does in fact exist. I found a volunteer Ikaku and asked him to fire a chi blast while I temporarily blocked off his ability to use magic. He remained able to fire the chi blast. There's still a couple of experiments I have left to do. I guess it won't hurt to do them openly."

I fire a chi blast at an uninhabited gas giant moon in Slytha while blocking magic-use (save for a pre-prepared quick-teleport spell) and I then fire another chi blast while NOT blocking magic-use. (I'm still not using magic - it's just that I'm not actively preventing its use.) (0E. I don't want to blow it up, obviously.) Is there a difference in how powerful the blasts were?

"The way I see it, having a sphere gives you control of things over things that preside within that sphere and decrease control in things opposing that sphere. For example, Cim has great control over Order but poor control over Chaos. That's my theory, anyway, and this will test if that theory is correct. I shouldn't have presented my theory as an assumption. I suppose that's a holdover from Yaos' angel and I apologise for my behaviour in that regard."

"Evil-Eaters do not eat souls. They eat most - not all - of the evil within someone and they send the soul to Zeranzel where they will stay a while before reincarnating. Evils are an entirely separate entity from the Evil-Eater and those they kill that are literally and entirely created from evil. How can such a being be anything but pure evil?"

Quote from: Ama on January 30, 2015, 10:31:27 am

"Eating evil souls will destroy our reincarnation system removing a souls second chance."

"Evil-Eaters don't eat souls. If you're referring to my eating of Evils, know that it won't destroy the reincarnation system because it's adding one soul and immediately subtracting one soul. It's zero-sum and thus harmless. As for second chances, it's unwise to give a being of pure evil a second chance."

"That is an excellent point, Khaziraad. I'd thought something would go wrong but I didn't know what. That's why I chose to go on standby when it did. Now that I see what could go wrong, I have reason enough to stop or at least pause creation of the Evil-Eaters."

Cancel creation of Evil-Eaters.

"Why was everyone under the impression that Evil-Eaters eat souls? If you reread the description, you'll find they do no such thing. They eat the evil in people's souls but they don't eat the souls themselves. The souls of those they kill go to Zeranzel and then reincarnate. When an Evil-Eater overflows with evil, a purely evil soul is spontaneously created as a separate entity of the Evil-Eater outside its body. I eat that new entity that's separate from both the original evil (but not pure evil) soul and the Evil-Eater."

I need canned food because that is what a book in the Divine Library said I should do to ward off the Apocalypse.

I can sell you a sun in a gemstone for 8E. Autoenchances weapons/armor in which it is inserted.

Our own?

I mean, Neron keeps trying to destroy the sun, which will likely KILL EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE, so I don't know why you're being quite so defensive of him.

We've all invested a great deal of Essence in the worlds and our creations, and if everything is dead, we won't be getting any Essence to rebuild it so... what's your problem with a little bit of minor punishment?

It's not as though we're going to kill Neron, I won't stop him from making himself immune to the heat or whatever.

It seems you are making your typical idiotic mistake by assuming price is equivalent to power. "Judging by the price it took to make" is not a valid way of gauging power no matter how you look at it.

Oh now that's just too funny. Cim, or Azem, petty?

Hells, I'm fairly sure Grauel doesn't like you either. And as for the question, I think your pride, since you've demanded respect in the past, and get pissy about 'insults'.

I respect your combat ability. I respect your determination. I respect little else about you, since little else is worthy of it, and you seem disinclined to change that.

Ah, that reminds me.

Propose changing Fusil's secondary sphere to Arrogance.

"Yes, petty. What makes you think otherwise? Cim has done some strange things, caused a few massive explosions and stolen archangels, but he is hardly a massively powerful force. Azem has done nothing for centuries. Petty Gods.

Events or occurrences that causes damage to a tissue or organ are serious things that need treatment right away. They are no laughing matter. The other form of insults show you are an enemy, thus your danger, meaning I must remove you. Simple.

I propose we change Darrruauauaauth's primary sphere to bullet ridden corpses. Failing that, left socks. In case it wasn't clear, I oppose changing my sphere. Surly that would give me much more power then any other God, but I already have much more power then any other God so it would not be necissary."

If Gods gained power from their own characteristics, Yaos wouldn't have died so many times from being over-ambitious. It might even weaken his primary sphere, which would be hilarious.

Not a tyrant anymore, seems like.

So, if he attacks any of us, we seal him away permanently, right?

Propose permanent sealing of Fusil if he attacks anyone who supported the proposal to seal him for threatening him (and the attack is not in response to an attack on their part) within the next six ticks.

I thought of that, but if he's sealed, we could vote to execute him anyway.

Besides, if he thinks he's gonna die I have a feeling he might just nuke everything out of suicide bomber spite.

In any case, why oppose it without proposing his death in such a case? It just makes it less likely for him to be swiftly and automatically dealt with before he can do more harm.

Because we don't need to propose things like that. The Council is an administrative body, really, and if Fusil decides to be so petty as to attack anyone, or everyone, who supports a proposal which is against him, I imagine we'll all act against him in that instance.

Fusil is annoying, not stupid.

Even if he does decide to destroy everything in suicidal rage, we can just cockblock him with some Essence from everyone.

You can try to kill me. And then you'll get beaten down by the Council, which has already shown it's willingness to deal with you.

So call me stupid if you like, because I don't bow down to your whims. I could care less.

"According to my calculation, 12 of the 20 active gods have supported Darruth's proposal. If 4 more gods support the proposal before the Tick is done, it will be passed immediately and Fusil might be imprisoned for 1 Tick for every threat he's made since Darruth proposed his proposal."

It certainly seems strange to me.

I mean, now that Fusil's gone completely insane(an Angel, more powerful than what practically amounts to the entire Council? What a laugh!) and we have a method for dealing with him in progress, I think we can turn our attention to other matters.

Has he become petty enough to attack anyone's followers, yet? Anyone who wishes for my aid need only ask. And provide the Essence for the Protection, since I'm rather low.

I would think that having their God sealed away would keep them from acting, but perhaps you are right. Binding them to only protect their God, reactively, not proactively, might be a good idea.

Tick 104: Fluffy throes

Cyrix has created 50 000 more Sewa and 10 000 more Guardians. These are some of the prayers of the Sewa:
"Thank you for our unexpectedly bountiful harvest!"
"Do you suppose the Gruen would pay a lot for new foods?"
"Do you harvest the dying too?"

KI'Tork has had a staring contest with the newest megabeast. It does not respond. A bounty of Mystic Snow has fallen on both worlds for an entire week. KI'Tork tells everyone of this, and almost everyone seems to be incapacitated or frantically bagging Snow at the moment.

Xaver has arisen!

Atropos' investigation indicates that the Emperor conquered a sizable portion of land that was decidedly not most of the land-dwelling world. He says he plans to rule "as the waves rule," whatever that could possibly mean.

Malakath has permitted Malakath-worship through the spilling of blood in a military context. Sanimtum has been renamed to Castle Irilum.

An elemental mage competition has begun on Slytha with godly assistance forbidden. Mages are hard at work preparing and tuning their spells for this event.

The general consensus among the somewhat inconsistent books on soul burnout indicate that it can happen with any class of magic. Cosmic magic simply seems to select for more powerful spells replicating what gods do with Essence.

Atropos has founded the Yol-tore, a guild of Twilight Born assassins.

Kit, Angela, Nuparhi, and Tykki have begun sparring. The Shiny Ones have had a picnic sparring session. Lumps of galena have been seen shooting from their picnic.

Malakath has invented a chi/magic technique for converying magic into chi, but it seems not to be used even by those visibly using it.

Malakath has attempted to fire a chi blast at an uninhabited gas giant moon without magic, and nothing interesting happens. A blast permitting magic use without using magic has also failed. There is no significant difference between the two blasts.

Malakath has also proposed that the gods celebrate for having agreed on one thing. Somewhere in the vast universe, an infernal dry greenhouse planet's atmosphere has spontaneously frozen and begun falling.

Xaver has created 300 Watchmen.

Fusil has fired a single shot into Fortuna's finger. The gun misfires, damaging Fusil for 2E!

Cim has turned into a silver wolf and barked and howled loudly at Fusil. Atropos has pretended to be a bear, holding up her arms and growling at Azem, pretending to attack him.

Tykki points at Cim.
"You will pay dearly for the Lich's crimes."

The Light has created Lightgems of Musk and given them to the friendly gods. Malakath has returned this gift.

Neron has commissioned a painting of a tiny ranting Fusil being beaten up by the other gods. Fusil has attempted to draw mustaches on the other gods and a puppy over the Fusil.

This update's constellations are the Dagger and Sword.

(Cyrix: -3E, KI'Tork: -2E, Xaver: -3E, The Light: -1E)

Melyssa reads a book about the origin and methods of torture, written before she appeared.

I Propose that we send some spies to see if the Merfolk emperor is up to any good.

Quote

"I have opened the BAKERY OF PAIN! Want a loaf?"

"That sounds truly delicious, I'll take two dozen. What are they made of?"

Quote

"How do the Flagellants get to experience so much pain?"

"The Flagellants are made to experience pain, thus they are very creative in finding new methods of doing so."
Melyssa grants the man the ability to be very creative when thinking about ways of torture.

Quote

"I think this man is an infiltrator against our Glorious Resistance. Any advice?"

"Before I can help you with this, what are you resisting. I wish to know that, for I do not want to offend any gods."

Melyssa uses 13E to propagate the Flagellants

(Sorry about that.)

(Melyssa: -13E)
Melyssa: The book on torture displays many interesting devices from throughout history. One of the highlights is putting two prisoners of opposing ideologies in a confined space and forcing them to share meals.

BAKER OF PAIN: (aside) "An order of two dozen loaves of pain for the Queen of Spikes!"
BAKER OF PAIN: "Why, pain (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pain#French), of course! What else would we make bread out of?"

The man is now thinking of delightful, creative methods of torture. He has begun writing them down and illustrating them.

You have created 18 million Flagellants.

Hey Fusil and Darruth... Since you guys are Gods of Protection and Weapons, could I get your help making some weapons and armour for an army of mine?

Quote from: Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum on January 25, 2015, 04:09:25 am

Spoiler: King (click to show/hide)

A compound longbow made at least partially of bone. The quiver is never empty, and it enhances its owner's accuracy and gives its owner an aura of command.

A suit of bronze chainmail that causes hails of stones and protects its owner from mind reading and mind control. It requires time to recharge after firing the stones.

A steel broadsword covered with intricate carvings. The blade never seems to reflect light, and it can conjure up hundreds of lights. It requires periodic sacrifices, or it will vanish.

Spoiler: Queen (click to show/hide)

A suit of amethyst plate mail inset with emeralds. It allows its owner to glow with radiant light and to distinguish truth from lie. It prematurely ages its owner.

A hand crossbow emblazoned with Atropos' symbol. The limbs are made of lemonwood. It can always be called back to its owner and can heal its owner's wounds.

A round shield made of red oak and covered in engravings. It prevents all other magic from being used nearby. It sometimes malfunctions in odd ways.

A silvery and ominous cutlass. The blade is steel, and the hilt is ruby. It surrounds opponents in darkness using the power from the deaths it causes. It causes its owner to always goes for the kill.

Spoiler: Knight (*2) (click to show/hide)

A stylized but practical shield made of steel. It raises earthen walls and increases its owner's physical strength when they are feeling strong emotions, but gives its owner nightmares.

An almost weightless steel broadsword with a jagged blade. It saps life-force from those it kills, but gradually steals its owner's soul. It collects the souls of all its previous owners, and they can speak through the sword.

A suit of black steel scale mail emblazoned with the symbol of Atropos. It allows its owner to fly and reduces pain felt by the owner. It causes headaches when used to fly, which are not dampened by the pain reduction.

Spoiler: Priest (*2) (click to show/hide)

A suit of steel plate mail which always shines like it is in sunlight. The steel is inlaid with silver. It creates solid walls of light, but can only be used by those who have killed before.

A steel mace covered in intricate carvings, with a grip of copper wire. It burns like acid on contact with enemies and partially protects its owner from hostile magic. It appears to have moods.

An oaken shield which glows faintly silver. It allows its owner to turn insubstantial.

Spoiler: Charioteer (*2) (click to show/hide)

A suit of scale mail covered with designs of leaves and vines. The leather parts have been dyed crimson. It enhances its owner's endurance and teaches its owner to speak any language, including that of animals. Its owners become obsessed with it over time. It seems to gravitate toward those with modest destinies.

A steel scythe inset with tigerseye. The grip is white leather. It can surround its owner in cloak of flame and has several related powers. It causes its owner to go into battle trances which they have no memory of.

A compound longbow with limbs of hickory and a grip of bone. It can blind opponents and increases its owner's intelligence. It seems to gravitate towards those seeking vengeance.

And to pull the chariot, an enormous feline monster with toxic fangs, a spiked back, antennae, and frost breath. It is able to appear in two places at once.

Spoiler: Soldier (*8) (click to show/hide)

A steel claymore which seems filled with dancing flames. The pommelstone is an onyx. It can slice through anything, but sometimes fails during battle.

A recurve bow made of yew and covered in faintly glowing symbols. It shoots beams of light which hit with the force of an avalanche, and causes its owner to be unable to lie.

A suit of quartz armor which is always dripping with blood. It gives its owner perfect dark-vision and can reanimate the dead to fight for its owner, but makes its owner extremely paranoid.

In front of each of my temples I commission a pair of statues, one of Fusil with a gun exploding in his face, and one of Kit laying on top of a passed out Tykki.

"Hey! Tykki is winning the fight! Besides, mortals aren't supposed to know what guns are yet. Commissioning hundreds of thousands of statues of them might alter weapon development."

This is only a testing run, there is no need to burn anything in excess. See if you can buff Tykki or curse Kit. Direct combat is allowed, but it is suggested you keep your distance, using ranged weaponry. Do not allow her to get close."

"She reaaaally hates your Lich. Not quite sure why."

(Now for the weapons, yay! Interesting chess theme.)

"I approve of some, though I have comments in concerns on others. I will be willing to make them, assuming they are cheap or that you pay for at least 75% of the cost."

Approved list:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A compound longbow made at least partially of bone. The quiver is never empty, and it enhances its owner's accuracy and gives its owner an aura of command.

A hand crossbow emblazoned with Atropos' symbol. The limbs are made of lemonwood. It can always be called back to its owner and can heal its owner's wounds.

A steel mace covered in intricate carvings, with a grip of copper wire. It burns like acid on contact with enemies and partially protects its owner from hostile magic. It appears to have moods.

A compound longbow with limbs of hickory and a grip of bone. It can blind opponents and increases its owner's intelligence. It seems to gravitate towards those seeking vengeance. (Assuming you mean the old-kind of compound bow, the "composite bow" one. Modern compound bows where not invented until the 1960s, after the likes of the M1911, the Tommy gun, and the M1919, and the Korean war for that matter.)

A steel scythe inset with tigerseye. The grip is white leather. It can surround its owner in cloak of flame and has several related powers. It causes its owner to go into battle trances which they have no memory of.

A steel claymore which seems filled with dancing flames. The pommelstone is an onyx. It can slice through anything, but sometimes fails during battle.

"The rest are something I would not want to give you, for various reasons. I might have to make a few adjustments on that list anyhow. Do you accept the proposal?"

"Oh? You seem to be reacting to this death threat much differently then you had the others. Why so defensive? You continuously and incessantly brag about how you are 'controlling everything like puppets from the shadows.', why do you act so surprised when someone accuses you of doing just that? It was obviously you. You where the only one around at that time who would have a reason to do it. Kind of like that explosion that ruined our nice-clean fight.

You know Tykki could easily kill you given the chance, and that you have no chance against her. Your old tricks have been predicted and I have made defenses against them, she could kill you in an instant if I let her."

"Ah? So you fear my Tykki's threats? If I had known that, I would have her make death threats ages ago. It may have been hyperbole, which due to your poor grasp of our language you do not understand, but you have stated many times how you are controlling things silently. Any treck through the council records would prove this. And I am pretty sure you *have* invented time travel, and have been causing all those shudders we have seen lately.

Tick 105: The price of creation

"I, Muighoseph'aalaunw, need the assistance of at least one of you. You will be compensated generously should you perform well."

The Turonni seem to be doing well, spreading trade and entertainment throughout the world. The Merfolk empire seems to have commissioned the construction of a large gambling hall and temple to Fortuna. Success and failure in Turonni society seems to involve luck a lot more than it would in others, and this seems to result in unusually high social mobility particularly among those involved heavily in gambling.

Atropos has commissioned statues depicting Fusil with a gun exploding in his face and Kit on top of a passed out Tykki.

Tykki: "It is something you would not understand, you Void-lovers."

Cyrix:
"Understood!"
"This is interesting. We should begin planting odd crops too."
"Oh."

KI'Tork has created 240 000 Frost Resistant Kobolds on Nikjol and taught them to fish.

The God Engines seem not to be too effective on either Tykki or Kit.

Raptil:
"I wish for gills for hunting the powerful fishes."
"Is it a good idea to hunt by dropping rocks on sleeping creatures?"
"What do you think of vultures?"

The Falciri are thriving and making a fair profit from selling the products of their hunting. They associate fairly well with the followers of KI'Tork.

Neron: The Rani seem to have been spared from the Merfolk invasion and have in fact begun opening up trade relations. The Shadow Ravens are somewhat suspicious of this. The Ice Titans and their associates think little of the absent Merfolk and their foreign recruits.
"Why has the world not frozen yet?"
"Behold the glory of the Northern Crown!"
"Is it Neronmas yet?"

The Light has created a diamond golem with the ability to grow stronger whenever Fusil attempts to threaten anyone.

Cim has barked and howled at Fusil again.

Schrodinger has awakened!

Melyssa has commissioned temples to Neron in the Flagellant cities and promoted Neron-worship. The appeal of the biting cold seems to have a decent effect on the spread of this.

Malakath's followers have been encouraged to also worship Cyrix.

The Ikakus say Malakath couldn't use chi because she blocked it. The technique created, they say, turns chi into slightly less chi, limiting its use to dramatic events. They say chi probably always existed and they know they use it.

This update's constellations are the Shield and Eye.

(KI'Tork: -5E, The Light: -5E)

Raptil:
"I wish for gills for hunting the powerful fishes."
"Is it a good idea to hunt by dropping rocks on sleeping creatures?"
"What do you think of vultures?"

The Falciri are thriving and making a fair profit from selling the products of their hunting. They associate fairly well with the followers of KI'Tork.

Sadly, I must deny your wish for gills. Unless you want me to remove your lungs, forcing you to spend the rest of your life underwater. I could do that if you really wanted me to. In the mean time, I suppose it would be possible to create some sort of system for breathing underwater. Perhaps a portable supply of air, and some sort of waterproofing for feathers.

Whilst dropping rocks is effective, and perhaps more humane, it does require less skill than more traditional hunting does. It is also probably necessary for the more heavily armoured creatures, those which could withstand being shot at. It is worth bearing in mind that rocks are heavy. it would be very difficult to carry large rocks into the air, and smaller rocks still reduce the amount of other things you can carry. A bow and a quiver of arrows are light in comparison. So I will leave it to your own judgement.

Vultures? Well... I suppose they're good for the ecosystem. I don't have much of an opinion, really.

The Ikakus say Malakath couldn't use chi because she blocked it. The technique created, they say, turns chi into slightly less chi, limiting its use to dramatic events. They say chi probably always existed and they know they use it.

I give the Ikakus increased common sense because I don't like obtuse answers. Are they saying that chi is magic? That chi is based on the soul? If so, does that mean they pray more to me rather than Joha as I used to think?

I give common sense to all races whose creators are dead, sealed, or are in safe stasis.

Oppose.
Also, create some burnt chicken in front of the emperor of Keshan. Then watch it closely.

"Well, if a mortal were to, for example, find out about a large Void summoning ceremony, they might pray to their god about the event or they might use their enhanced common-sense to warn the entire Council of the Bubble-threatening event, as they rightly should. Aside from that, it would be rather interesting to see what mortals pray to the Council for. Besides, how would you know if it's a pointless activity when it's never even been done before?"

Post by: hector13 on February 04, 2015, 03:04:09 am

Common sense doesn't mean that they're going to do "the right thing". Why would warning the Council be the right thing anyway? They'll use this common sense to realise we haven't actually done all that much to counter Void influence, and do something else, probably for their own benefit. Because that's sensible.

It's pointless because the individual members of the Council are more likely to give a shit about their own creations, to the detriment of others, especially since it's unlikely to benefit them very much.

Point in fact: we very rarely agree with how to deal with things, the recent Merfolk Incident being a great example. Did we actually do anything about it? No, we looked out for our own people, and to the Void with the rest of them.

Post by: Kilojoule Proton on February 04, 2015, 06:54:10 pm

Tick 106: Vertebrate Council?

Council records: Too vague

The God Engines seem to be animated statues loaded with various weapons.

Malakath has attempted to toggle common sense on for races with dead, sealed, or safe stasised creators, but this has been inhibited by Atropos.

The God Engines have begun striking in earnest, hitting Kit several times. Kit has lost a round

Neron: The Northern Crown seems to be a large crown of carefully grown and completely uncarved ice. It is mostly clear but for a ring of bubbles in the likeness of gems.

There is a minor temporal shudder.

Atropos has manifested some burnt chicken before the emperor, who looks at it and walks away.

"Excellent, my helpful assistant. Here is your reward. Now, I seek someone's aid in constructing a perfect cube. You may do so as well, Atropos."

"As for you, Cim, I can provide your Bubble with security. You know well Bubbles are fragile and prone to destruction, and I can correct that. What I want is simply to maintain it until you can make the decision of destroying it on your own. I can also provide you personally with that which you have always sought."

"KI'Tork, eager as always, I see. You specifically may help by dropping a pebble on the left side of a certain mage's desk. The compensation for this will be 1E, less than for the other task."

Luminee theologians have begun investigating the Void Light cult. It seems that the last report mentioning them was from a few centuries ago, and they were mostly followers of a different Void One.

The Ikakus know nothing about attunements. Void energy and Essence are occasionally mentioned to be the same, but this seems to contradict what you know about its influence.

Fortuna:
"I wish for a large bag filled with dice of many kinds."
"How can I train to become as good as the daring entertainers?"

Malakath:
"Can we have blue blood like shellfish too?"
"I want to befriend a blood-drinker with shiny dust!"

Melyssa:
"How can I torture people by swallowing swords?"
"I have invented frog torture, where people choke on giant frogs!"

Azem:
"Can you fill my house with shinies?"
"Where are all the other races?"

Council:
"Twenty divines! My wall collapsed!"
"Can you pass a law against doing anything with mortals?"

KI'Tork:
"Watch as I cook this chicken by burying it in LAVA!"
"Mystic Snow is, like, so Satisfying, 'Tork. Look at all those flavors!"

Ice Golem:
"Can Anything Raise The Freezing Temperature Of Water?"
"We Have Walled In Your Northern Crown To Protect It From Winds."

Raptil:
"That sounds like a good idea. I'll begin at once."
"Bring back the game with the floatstone? Yes! We should also begin doing that!"

(Don't burn to ash! The Weapons industry depends on burning to charcoal instead! :P)

KI'Tork has given Fusil a jelly roll. The ordinary Kobolds and Ogres seem to be spreading, mostly into fine places of eating in cities.

The gods have decided to celebrate for agreeing on one thing. Neron has been tossed into the god-harming sun, dealing only 2E damage thanks to the lack of confinement to the sun. Fusil is to be sealed away for a tick should he threaten violence and permanently should he inflict violence on the supporters of 103.09 prior to T112. The concept of chi has been removed.

Fusil and Malakath have been caught attempting to seal Kli away! Considering what tends to happen to the sealed away, an attempted assault/murder trial may be in order. Kli remains unsealed for now.

This update's constellations are the Lance and Lady.

Fusil and Malakath have been caught attempting to seal Kli away! Considering what tends to happen to the sealed away, an attempted assault/murder trial may be in order. Kli remains unsealed for now.

Oppose. It works well as it does not and has for a long time. There's no need to change it just because of this single incident.

'It's worked so far' does not mean it could not be improved, and it is not because of a single incident. There have been multiple occasions where arguments were made about technically this or by the way it's worded that. It annoys me greatly.

One thing I don't do (except for minor spelling corrections to Grauel/Gruen/Gruel/Grauen somewhere near the beginning) is edit if it's been more than a day. This helps keep things trustworthy and reliable on my end. (Time manipulation may or may not be an exception)

The fault is with those who word the proposals poorly, not with the system itself. I like to know exactly what a proposal is going to do when it passes. I don't want to have to guess at all the possible non specified intentions the person who proposed it might have.

Not their intention. The spirit of it, as seen by everyone.

I believe the systems of the Council are competent enough that that would be a nonissue, if we were to allow them to judge laws based on their spirit, rather than the letter. I take great care now to word my proposals carefully, but I have no wish to draw up a contract and no one else has a wish to read one.

Post by: gman8181 on February 04, 2015, 10:40:17 pm

Not everyone is going to agree on the spirit of the law in most instances. Would we determine the spirit through another vote? Majority rule? In the end, the effort of figuring out the "spirit" of the law will result in just as much debate as any revision would require. Contract like laws may be a pain but it's the most effective way to go about it without issues. The nature of the council is one that requires specificity and debate. If you don't want those things, then you're likely better off doing things yourself or with the help of other gods outside the council.

"Indeed. You made a very good point there Grauel. Then there's also the different interpretations of the spirit of the laws. In this case, my interpretation is to stop Fusil from bullying everyone around into doing what he wants. His proposed punishment against KI'Tork for his actions are, to me, justifiable, and it's not just petty bullying."

"I advise caution, Cyrix. If a material being stays more than a few days in an immaterial plane then they too will turn immaterial. (The reverse isn't true for some reason.) I recommend shuttling them in and out of your plane and the Corporeal Plane so they don't become immaterial and you don't have to spend Essence to revive them later. Additionally, I'm willing to help you build the planet (which should discount the price) if you help me with one of my projects, but let's discuss that privately."

(Ah yes, Nikjol. That planet is completely frozen over. Its sun is basically an anti-sun - it cools things down rather than heats things up. If you terraformed that planet the way you want to, all its native life would die off and the planet would eventually get refrozen by the sun anyway.)

"Now, I seek someone's aid in constructing a perfect cube."

"Council. This sentence tells us a lot of the thing's motives. Perfect geometrical shapes are Static, which means it wants Dynamic things in this Bubble to end, likely by destroying them. A very, very large portion of what we've created is Dynamic. Its Creative tendency points that this is a destroy-and-rebuild-in-my-image plan. In short, do not serve it if you want to live."

Quote from: Kilojoule Proton on February 04, 2015, 06:54:10 pm

"As for you, Cim, I can provide your Bubble with security. You know well Bubbles are fragile and prone to destruction, and I can correct that. What I want is simply to maintain it until you can make the decision of destroying it on your own. I can also provide you personally with that which you have always sought."

"Muighoseph'aalaunw. Tempting, but no. Allowing you to maintain the Bubble would make it and everything in it, including the asset you offer, dangerous and almost useless to us Gods. No deal. Besides, I can provide it to myself to myself, eventually."

"Council. Having the Bubble be maintained with impure Essence would most likely spread the Void impurities into everything in it, including our Essence gains. And that would most likely end up with us dead, powerless and/or puppets to the Null."

Grimtol, Greater angel of Khairaad apears before the council.

"First architect apears to have temporarily lost abilility to comunicate not in incoherent swearing. As such, for the duration of this afliction, I shall translate main points. My word bears no weight in the council, so I ask you deities to act upon them. Fusil... No, Malkath... No, void colaborators... I apologise. It apears even if I can understand him, First architect can not decide upon which of infuriating things he should act first. Only one idea came through, and that is to propose to check on Essense levels of Deities sealed off by Fusil.

"I support this proposal. I'm not quite sure why he's upset that I sealed Kli, though, unless it had to do with accidentally splitting him. Regardless, he should be fine once he awakens again. Please inform Khaziraad that though I'm unsure of my wrongdoing, I'm entirely willing to undo my actions if they were legitimately wrong."

"How can I torture people by swallowing swords?"

"Hmm, that sounds like a creative way of torture. You could make them swallow swords, but that sounds too easy. Maybe, if you could somehow make a hole in your upper body, you can stab them with the swords while they are still in your throat.''

Quote

"I have invented frog torture, where people choke on giant frogs!"

"That sounds wonderful! Here, I shall help you by making it more painful!"
Melyssa gives the man's frogs the ability to produce a kind of poison that causes intense pain and gives them sharp barbs all over their bodies.

"I do not know, to be honest. Why don't we try?"

Melyssa find a holy and an unholy dagger, and stabs herself with both them.

Tick 107: Signal binding

Temporal shudders quake violently in the Bubble and then stop abruptly.

The Sewa have received Cyrix's message. Some stir at the prospect of abandoning their former world and the other races.

"Do you really think so, Malakath? Do you truly believe you can collect all the souls in your Bubble safely? Do you actually think you can neutralize your rivals in your current state? Mesal I may be, but I can provide that and inestimably more."

"How unfortunate that we cannot see eyes to eye, Cim."

"We have many souls, Malakath."

Tykki: "As you command, Sir."

Tykki has begun nailing down pebbles on various mages' desks on both worlds. So far, there have been multiple attempts at burning, electrocution, impalement, bisection, dissolution, and freezing.

Khaziraad has gone grimdark!

Melyssa:
"I guess that's an improvement over making them watch for several hours."
"Now the people get tortured too! This is incredible!"

Melyssa has found a holy dagger and an unholy dagger and has stabbed herself for 2E worth of damage!

The Merfolk Empire has expanded greatly over the course of a month without any visible armies.

KI'Tork has congratulated the LAVA Cooker and given the Stoner some more Happy Dust/Mystic Snow.

KI'Tork has replaced a mage's desk with an oversized bread surface cooking device. The building is on fire!

This update's constellations are the Hammer and Gravestone.

(Melyssa: -2E)

Spoiler: Council rules (click to show/hide)

These are all subject to addition, removal, and change by you. They can effect changes in the game's core rules (mechanics), administrative laws (voting requirements, seniority privilegs, &c.) or the natural rules (light does not exist, gravity is repulsive, giant animals can fly like birds, &c.).
`Administrative:
A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Council-produced creations are not to be tampered with without council approval. Failure to comply will result in the automated initiation of a trial.

03.01: Only deities supporting a proposal enter the Essence pool

04.03: Remove proposals stagnant for 3 ticks or double opposed to supported for 1 tick <0>

Proposals at [IMMINENT PASS] will pass immediately if 80% of the Support or Oppose votes are Support votes.

34.05: A trial will end after 2 integer ticks (from Tx to Tx+2) with votes tallied based solely on support and opposition. Conflict results in comparing support and opposition.

KI'Tork has replaced a mage's desk with an oversized bread surface cooking device. The building is on fire!

I teleport everyone out of the building and then use water magic to put out the fire. (0E) I claim the souls of anyone who dies in the fire (assuming that anyone does) so I can more easily revive them later.

Friendly tip. There's several races that worship dead gods and you might have less resistance if you distribute your books there.

Also there's some "unaligned" races. Humans... Merpeople... Dwarves? They tend to be less devout than the aligned races I think. For example, my race, the Gruen love eating and I'm the God of Hunger. It's a lot easier to tear a human worshiper away from me than a Gruen.

Oh and my name is Grauel. My spheres are Hunger and Decay.

"Welcome new god. As always, I suggest that you start by voting on one of the many new proposals. Speaking of which....

I propose we repeal 103.09.

Anyway, if you want followers, I suggest you make your own. You are much less likely to make someone angry. Some people can get very angry about strange Gods throwing dangerous things into their cities. Very angry."



The Vindico stationed outside the A-S-H cities are tasked with preventing the book from entering said cities.

"Stealing followers is no way to make friends."

(...What does "more Eldrich" mean?)

((I meant eldritch, meaning alien or strange, and I made the books appear inside cities, if you want them out, you'll need to hunt for them))


Those books are meant to bring the attention of people interested in... Different things that you might offer, I would not fear about your followers if I was you, unless they were to be the kind of people who would seek dark and potentially lethal knowledge.

As for your offer on politics, I would rather wait before acting.

((what I'm saying is that theses books are supposed to bring the attention of mad cultist, not your everyday follower))

"I don't care. You are not going to sway my followers away from me. I will not have you spreading your religion in my cities, I will not allow you to steal any of my followers. I would explain this in greater detail, but have been recently banned for doing so. Just know it is a bad idea."

Quote from: Vgray on February 06, 2015, 08:26:31 pm

"Please ignore him. The mortals decide for themselves who among the Council they worship. This is the way it has always been, and anyone who accuses another god of 'stealing' followers is a hypocrite."

"If that is the case, I am sure you could spread your books across Mountworm territory to your heart's content. Just keep out of mine."

Tick 108: Relay

"You greatly overestimate your ability, Malakath. Perhaps you are not in the best of moods after having lost something immense."

"To those more willing I assign the task of preventing a large rock from colliding with the rock named Keshan in exchange for 3E with a 2E bonus for destroying the rock."

"To Ghizher specifically I offer the blessing of the Luminants in exchange for your assistance in removing a... violent Umbral cult."

Malakath's quick thinking has prevented the building from burning down! Though expensive furniture and literature was lost, the worst a victim suffered was light bruising by a few eldritch books, quite a few of which are not accounted for...

The Sewa have been informed that they will be permitted to cycle back to Keshan/Slytha every other life, and this satisfies many of them.

Malakath's magic tournament has started! The most flashy entries are as follows:
A fiery serpent appearing to loop above and below the ground.
A great cloud of unidentified metal dust in the likeness of an upside-down waterfall spreading in river-like patterns and falling throughout the area.
A poignant play played by animated clouds of mist.
A massive squid of rock and water swimming in what appears to be a sea of fire.

KI'Tork has increased the agility, size, and breeding rate of the Frost Kobolds, who thrive in the absence of predators and external aggressors.

The Light has created rainbows for all beings to enjoy over the next three days. KI'Tork has made a colorful rainbow over the formerly burning tower and sent jelly roll baskets and aid in construction

Cyrix has made a slightly larger-than-Luna-sized planet at the Sun-Slytha L5 point with farmable dirt but no atmosphere.

The Drrol is currently doing nothing. It appears to have been doing nothing for the last few weeks and has been moved to Nikjol.

Ghizher has created a holy book filled with dark secrets, some information on Ghizher, and distributed 44 copies across Keshan and Slytha in civilized areas.

Vindico have been tasked with preventing the entry of the book in A-S-H cities. They have stopped two.

Ghizher has moved to the gas giant orbiting Slytha's star.

Fortuna has instructed the Turonni not to read the book and to report those who read it. Tycho has read it and reports that it contains some basic information about Ghizher and many dark secrets, each of which would drive a lesser mortal MAD! MAD!

Tykki has leered at Ghizher.

Fusil is now the Honorary God of Jestering (whatever that means). The ice megabeast has been moved to Nikjol.

Fusil has been tossed into a god-harming sun and kept there! He has taken 4E worth of damage. Fusil may also be eligible for sealing depending on whether what he did counts as a threat.

((you forgot my vote for the new proposal (107.00), probably because I added it just before your post))

I name the gas giant D'hrool and create a sentient sapient life form made out of gas, with lightnings serving as a brain. They are rather smart, but are harmed by change of pressure by getting dissipated in the atmosphere. They live a nomadic lifestyle, following weather patterns as to avoid pressure changes, require no food, but tend to dissipate as time pass, living up to 40-50 years. They reproduce by connecting their brains, forming a new one as the lightnings touch. As my creation, they worship me as their god-creator. I make about 300 of them.

I teach them how to use compromising secrets as a negotiation tool to obtain what they want.

Edit: A bunch of stuff I forgot to mention:
-Their brains are essentially a ball of lightning.
-They communicate by linking their brains with an electric arc, performing telepathy. They need to be close to each other to perform this.
-The gas of which they are made of is corrosive to organic matter, but harmless to anything else.
-They lack eyes, but can detect variations of pressure and determine it's intensity. They can also detect electricity from far away.
-As of now they have no limbs, and no way to interact with their surrounding.
-They will dissipate if the ambient pressure change too quickly, resulting in death.
-They reproduce by linking their brains with a lightning bolt, and giving a small portion of their energy. More that two individuals can participate to this process. Having more people participating makes this process easier. It is also possible to create twins or triplets this way if a sufficient amount of power is given.
-they do not inherit traits from their parents, everything about a new specimen is determined randomly at birth.
-They have a much bigger range of personalities that humans.
-They normally wander in groups of 50-100 individuals, but often merge in larger groups to discuss.
-They have no concept of parenthood. Newborns are raised by the community.
-As they have no way to harm each other, they resolve conflicts by debating.

"Hey a Newbie! Welcome to the Council!"

KI'Tork creates several dozen of Portals alongside well-traveled paths and trade routs on Slytha and Keshan that lead to the other. They are located in and lead to places that are held by The Holy Meofisp.A Portal in Slytha would go to Keshan and so on. He Enchants the Portals so that anyone coming through must either be a Devout Follower of The Holy Meofisp, Any of its three Deities or that they sacrifice something that is valuable to them to The Holy Meofisp in order to use the Portals, Any Mortal that doesn't follow any of these rules will be teleported to a random location in the World the Portal is located in.

"Great, Now the Mortals can travel between Planets!"

KI'Tork also checks the numbers of The Frost Kobolds and tries to see how far their Civilization has expanded and how Faithful they are to The Holy Meofisp.

"To those more willing I assign the task of preventing a large rock from colliding with the rock named Keshan in exchange for 3E with a 2E bonus for destroying the rock."

"Don't do it. The large rock is only as big as a person's head for all we know. A rock that large still counts as large. Also, the Lunagee - being half-angel - should be able to destroy so much of it that once it hits the ground it would do practically no damage if any, similar to most micrometeorites."

Malakath's magic tournament has started! The most flashy entries are as follows:
A fiery serpent appearing to loop above and below the ground.
A great cloud of unidentified metal dust in the likeness of an upside-down waterfall spreading in river-like patterns and falling throughout the area.
A poignant play played by animated clouds of mist.
A massive squid of rock and water swimming in what appears to be a sea of fire.

The winner is selected and they're given a very large amount of money. The runners-up receive small amounts of money.

Fortuna has instructed the Turonni not to read the book and to report those who read it. Tycho has read it and reports that it contains some basic information about Ghizher and many dark secrets, each of which would drive a lesser mortal MAD! MAD!

I pick up one of the Void books and scan it for Void Influence and Essence. Is it godly, Void, or something else entirely?

+3 from Neron, Quéßäre, KI'Tork
-2 from Fusil, Darruth

This proposal should not be at [IMMINENT DEATH]. This proposal was supported by at least one other god, thus extending its time until death by 3 Ticks.

They are rather smart, but are harmed by change of pressure by getting dissipated in the atmosphere. They live a nomadic lifestyle, following weather patterns as to avoid pressure changes, require no food, but tend to dissipate as time pass, living up to 40-50 years. They reproduce by connecting their brains, forming a new one as the lightnings touch. As my creation, they worship me as their god-creator. I make about 300 of them.

I teach them how to use compromising secrets as a negotiation tool to obtain what they want.

I am also in favor of those portals, as they allow secrets to be shared between worlds. I will contribute to their defense if needed. I would however like to propose the removal of religion favoritism, as it seems that there is multiple gods in favor of their existence and this may incite more of us to support them.

I've been thinking about this for a while but since there are a growing number of planets, planetoids, moons, etc with living creatures on it, we might want to consider changing the reincarnation system so that souls just reincarnate at whatever location needs souls the most. I'm not proposing this yet because I'd rather hear thoughts on the idea first and any additions, changes, objections, etc people might have to the idea.

The old system was definitely good but I'm not sure how it will hold up with the increasing number of habitable locations that are removed from the original planets.

Close the Gasbag's reincarnation system, making them reincarnate as other of their own, since their brain structure is incompatible with that of most mortals. This also means that no mortal can reincarnate as a Gasbag. My specie remains unknown to the other sapient races.

If you notice, you don't even have to be a follower to use this. Anyone with something they can sacrifice can simply go to what is effectively the world they would enter when they die. At any time. The perfect system would be forever changed, forever ruined.

And I have to get clever with my threats, as I am forbidden from specifically threatening violence. Non-violent threats are rather difficult for me."

"If that was non violent then I must be a God of Fire."

"What is violent about giving a man directions? Certainly, it is a most peaceful action, no matter what the man does with them."

"Maybe I will give the Merfolk Emperor some directions to the Armu lands then..."

"And those directions would be 'past all those smiley faced statues with big bows, into the heavily armed dome filled with angry tentacle people with hundreds of weapons each, the form-transforming people, and maybe Wani who all live under a God who is willing to nuke all his land if he sets a single finger on one of his cities'. I think he knows where they are, but would not be stupid enough to try it."

Thank you for your comprehension, even thought the goal of my books were to pacify a few dangerous cults, gaining a few followers along the way, as proven by the last tick. I do not know yet if I will support or oppose this project.

Somehow I doubt this will work all that well. One way or another. Besides which, at this point, there's no reason to. Antagonizing him will only worsen the situation, which has stabilized and improved again.

Additionally, I myself am opposed to the portals, as there is a purpose to having separate worlds, not least of which is that if a second, larger Mer-Emperor incident occurs, they cannot gain control of everything.

And before you make some comment about nuking them if they try and touch your cities, Fusil, I'll point out that this would cause Mega-Deaths, resulting in the Council being very upset with you again, and that you have no real reason to nuke them if they wanted to take over peacefully, anyway, since it's not like they started mandating worship of any one God, as far as can be told.

Finally, as the Merfolk Emperor's been content to consolidate what he's conquered so far, and it's not all that large, I doubt that he would care about a second world yet, Fusil, so it was a poor threat in far more ways than one.

But it was certainly a threat.

"Firstly, that proposal is meant to relate to him threatening us, our objects, or our subjects - not those unaffiliated to us and you know it. Secondly, I'm pretty sure he meant that he'd nuke the Merman's armies rather than Merfolk cities. Civilians are sacrosanctum, but armies are fair game."

I don't think it's that easy. If it was, I'd have made a proposal about who if anyone has used time warping to modify past events and what events have they modified. Or for that matter, who was the HoDo killer? Or who started the plagues? Who killed those sleeping gods really early on? The Demons? The Parasites?

The list goes on. If you're going to try and get answers to one through the council, you might as well try to get answers for all of them.

Anyway, I prefer doing investigations myself if at all and I trust the results far more that way. No offense to the council.

Edit:

For the record, if I find out the one using time manipulation is just doing it to look into the past and not to mess around with it, I won't be annoyed. I'm only going to be annoyed if the past is messed with.

I destroy the drugs!

"Winners to not use drugs, God of Architecture! Do not fall for this pusher's trap!"

(That just explained everything Malakath or Yaos ever did ever.)

Now, I create the Wani!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Wani, massive Crocodiles (20+Feet full grown) with metallic scales defending their entire body, and teeth that could double as knives. Literally, also being made of the same metal. They are capable of regrowing lost teeth and scales, and lose several a year naturally. These lost scales and teeth can make wonderful metal for weapons, either being melted down or used as is. They are domesticated and tamed in A-S-H cities, and are normally quite calm and gentle creatures, often acting much like a calm dog, and are used as Pets, for defense, and "sheered" (kept around for their loose scales, much like sheep). They are particularly popular with the Seppo, who like them for the protection they provide and the metal they also provide.

They enjoy being in the water, both fresh water and salt, though it is not necessary to go into for every day survival (but it is a necessary part of their breeding, as eggs are typically laid in water.) and are capable of living in any A-S-H environment. They are capable of walking on two legs for some distance, typically using this ability to threaten threats, to see further into the distance, and to entertain children. Their underbellies are less protected, making this less then optimal for actual combat.

And, of course, they have an affinity for Cosmic magic.

After eating a suitable amount of relatively fresh meat, they can produce "crocodile tears" made of [you know what it is made of], which drips from their eyes and solidifies into small teardrop shaped gems as it leaves their face.

Soul Protectors are too generic with not enough differences between themselves. From now on, they will each be their own unique but unchanging sets of armour known as Soul Armour. Their form will still change if a truer form becomes available with technology. Currently-existing Soul Protectors will be unchanged but there will be no new ones.

I would like to know more about this "Meofisp" you talk about. As for my books, their purpose was to take over some eldritch cults, your followers should be safe.

"The "Holy Meofisp" as they call it is the name of their pantheon. A pantheon is a group of gods who urge their followers into worshipping other members of the pantheon. This results in a decrease in worship quality but an overall increase in Essence-gain via worship quantity."

EDIT: "Of all the Null factions to stay away from, Luminants should be stayed away from the most. They are the "weakest" faction and associating them will make you the target of the other two. Much more importantly, their goals specifically require the destruction of our Bubble and everything in it - including us. The Umbrals don't care and the Liminals will only destroy us if the Luminants get too powerful. Dealing with ANY Null is an awful, awful idea, but dealing with Luminants is the worst of said awful ideas. Also, stay away from Jelly Roll beings. They are very untrustworthy. Nulls aren't allowed to break deals, but if one does, don't complain about it or they'll punish you instead."

Melyssa checks if there are any eldritch books in the Flagellant cities. If she manages to find some, she sends Azxar, Uthon and Zekeb to see if the followers have remained loyal to her. Those who have chosen for the eldritch gods will be forced to die in a Brazen Bull. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazen_bull)

I am glad you are not secretly converting my followers, but I'll still let my Archfiends check on them. The infidels living in my cities shall perish, so that my real followers will become more loyal.

I will ask a small amount of essence in return, as I need a large amount of the thing for my upcoming projects, and because this is no small offering that I am about to gift you.

"I would prefer the small glimpse before I invest more fully in your magic. Call it a demo."

I select some missionaries to distribute Mystic Weed to areas where Mystic Snow is commonly consumed. This will hopefully take them off the more damaging Mystic Snow being peddled by ruthless gangsters. As missionaries, they will attempt to spread my religion as they go. To ensure the safety of my missionaries, they will have a couple of temple guards accompanying each of them. The guards and the missionaries will be screened to make sure they are all devout to me and are also strong-willed enough to not smoke their own product. Mystic Weed will come at a very small price - only enough to pay for the living expenses of the missionaries and their guards.

EDIT:

Quote from: LuckyKobold on February 07, 2015, 12:26:41 pm

KI'Tork creates Frost Resistant Weed. The Weed can also be brewed into a Potion that grants regeneration for roughly half a minute, Along with simply smoking it.

"I'm slightly confused here. Does Frost Weed's regenerative abilities work if it's smoked or is this only possible if it's in potion form?"

Malakath experiments with Frost Weed in potion-making, seeing if some frost-resistance can be taken from it or if it can be combined with traditional healing potions to get increased potency. She also drinks a traditional healing potion to see if it heals her, thus refilling her Essence.

Well, Malakath, I never thought you'd stoop so low as to become a petty drug dealer. Evidently us gods can be no better than the mortals, sometimes... better keep this away from the Turonni, though. I'd rather you not erode the quality of my worship by selling them cheap drugs.

Opine to the Turonni that drugs are bad, mm'kay, and that anyone proven to be a user that cannot contribute to Turonni society should be arrested.

These convicts are to perform the menial jobs in Turonni society that nobody really wants to perform (sewer workers, garbage disposal... customer service...) freeing up others to do useful things, like study at the university, be lucky and annoy customer service representatives.

Edit: The "users" are anyone who uses any habit-forming drugs, not just Malakath's weed.

I'd like to create a new flower. It will be a bell shaped flower with petals purple on the outside and blood-red on the inside. It will also have thorns. They reproduce at the same rate as any flowers.
It will be possible to extract a truth serum from the petals, while the thorns will contain an antidote, which is also a deadly poison, killing in a few hours. I'll create 5 000, split equally on both main planets.
It will be called "Twilight bell""Night eye".

I'd also like to see if I'm getting any essence from worship.

I would argue quite the opposite. Any Snow dealer can collect massive amounts when it does fall, and then charge massive amounts for the limited supply to addicts. I've begun filtering out anytime you say 'you don't know anything' since it seems to have become shorthand for you managing to say nothing at all of any use. It's just a way for you to point and laugh again. Only no one is laughing with you.

I do like how you added the 'probably' in there, and how you seem to be implying that no one other than Armu, Seppo, or Hovori live in those cities. But hey, if you want to play by yourself in your own little sandbox, go right ahead. It's better than you knocking over everyone else's sand castles. Keep being paranoid if you want, but I would be worried about Cim and Grauel first and foremost, of anyone; consider that they never appear active yet always are. At least when Malakath is being silly or dumb, or any of the other gods who primarily work publicly, you get a chance to protest. If Malakath had done this secretly, you wouldn't even know until after the fact.

"This just proves how much you don't know, doesn't it? You don't know anything about the effects of Mystic Snow. Nothing at all. One dealer collecting a lot of snow might make the price go up....which means that less addicts can afford it, and thus less people become addicted. Do you even know how it works? The effects it has on mortals? No, you don't. You couldn't even name its creators."

"I am not sure if the Armu, Seppo, and Hovori have anything that could be considered 'blood'. Which is why I said probably. They are the majority race in the A-S-H cities, which is why I call them the A-S-H cities. The Golems live in Golem cities made of mostly Golems, the Humans live in Human cities with mostly Humans, The woodelves life in woodelf cities with mostly wood elves...You are an idiot if you haven't noticed, but more cities seem to be comprised of a single race. The A-S-H cities are a deliberate exception. I have plenty of followers who do have blood, but I don't want them worshiping the blood God. I just want the worshiping me.

It isn't being paranoid to keep foreign priests from stealing my followers. What is paranoid is thinking that the people who appear to be doing nothing are actively plotting against you. The Vindico have standing orders to KOS Malakath's follower thieves, since she was born and attempted to take them away with her Angels. It would not have ended well for her."

I'm sorry Fusil, my mental filter caught the bits in the first part about you claiming I don't know anything and so the rest kinda got shuffled out. Could you repeat that, maybe with a little less condescension? Maybe I'll be able to understand you better.

I say you're paranoid because you think they're there to steal your followers. And while I wouldn't put it past Malakath, sharing and stealing aren't really the same thing. Like I said though, it's your choice if you want to keep them to yourself. That's not something I'll begrudge you, especially since I've been starting to feel very similarly, considering Melyssa and this new eldritch god and the like.

And yes, I'm paranoid on the subject of Cim and Grauel. I will admit that gladly. It pays off to be, around Gods that powerful.

Mmmmm...I would actually have to support Fusil on this one. He's not forcing mortals to stop worshipping other gods, he's trying to prevent other gods from converting his followers. Sorry Azem.

Again on this subject? How many times will I have to repeat that I have no intention to steal anyone's follower? The small gain in worship would surely be cancelled by the amount of effort I would have to put in preventing anyone's revenge. And beside that, theft is certainly not my way of getting things. Too many risks for little reward.

They are, of course, kept out of Fusil loyal lands by way of bolt point. Malakath really has to stop pushing her drugs and religion in my land!

Missionaries and angels have been forbidden from going to the "forbidden cities" for a while now. These forbidden cities include the ASH cities, the Golem/Gremlin cities, and the Grauel capital. Even if your cities weren't forbidden, my missionaries wouldn't go to your lands unless there was a lot of Mystic Snow-use there.

Quote from: hector13 on February 08, 2015, 12:32:33 pm

Well, Malakath, I never thought you'd stoop so low as to become a petty drug dealer. Evidently us gods can be no better than the mortals, sometimes... better keep this away from the Turonni, though. I'd rather you not erode the quality of my worship by selling them cheap drugs.

"My missionaries are only going to cities that have high amounts of Mystic Snow-use. If they're visiting your cities then I think you have bigger problems at hand than the missionaries themselves. Regardless, my missionaries of Weed will not visit your lands."

Quote from: Stirk on February 08, 2015, 12:45:14 pm

"Mystic snow at least only falls once in a blue moon, allowing a much shorter effective time and letting those afflicted by it get by as normal the rest of the year. This stuff grows every day, leading the addicts to use it every day."

"Mystic Snow originally only fell once a year, but eventually someone asked if more Mystic Snowfall could be had and Varee extended the time so that Mystic Snow falls for two weeks out of every year. Also, Mystic Weed doesn't grow in the wild. Only my missionaries have access to it."

Your caravans presumably don't offer mind-altering substances on the cheap as a means to gather worship...

Are you really hurting that bad for worshipers, Malakath?

If you want drug addled worshipers, Darruth ((not sure if you are... but you are now :P)) feel free to let the missionaries enter your cities.

"They would enter his cities only if they were full of Mystic Snow addicts."

"You do realize most of the A-S-H races probably don't even have blood?"

"Blood is merely my secondary sphere."

"May I have your attention, please, Darruth? Now, what I wanted to speak about was formally spreading my religion in your Good Cities. I've just assumed that they were forbidden cities due to all the defensive measures you placed on them but I'm unsure. Is it ok if I send some priests to your cities and convince them to worship me as well as you? If not, then can you at least allow them to teach people Soul and blood magic? They both have very useful properties and can benefit your people greatly."

Indeed, but your dealers are also proselytising, which is something I cannot abide.

What are the effects of this Mystic Weed, and also the Mystic Snow, so I know just how bad the work should be for the addicts in Chance.

An addendum to the edict putting junkies to work: the convicts will be provided with the minimum amount of Weed and/or Snow to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Any convict wishing to be paroled will be observed over the course of a half-year while still doing the menial labour. After this, they will be released into society, to do as they wish, but still under a further half-year observation to make sure they aren't using.

This what I'm talking about when I say some of you are too reliant on the council. How hard would it be to make a small modification to your own followers so they don't get addicted to things so easily? I see little reason for the council to get involved in every little change a god wants to make to the world when most of these changes can be done quite easily by individuals or small groups and often without dragging people who don't care into it.

Council action should really be for only the most important of cases that effect everyone and that can't be solved by individuals or small groups without massive investments. I don't think this is one of those cases.

Make it so the Gruen do not suffer from addictive properties of any substances unless I specify that it affects them.

Problem solved for me. I don't need to make a proposal and convince everyone to make it pass and I don't need to worry about the Gruen snorting snow. Imagine that someone just goes and makes something new and even more addictive by using a lot of essence.

You overstep your bounds, Malakath.

As has been mentioned previously, we are gods; we can fix most mortal problems with a little Essence investment. I do not recall ever electing you as moral authority over my worshipers, or anyone else's but your own.

Given that we are technically competing against each other, any form of charity that was not expressly asked for, perhaps even then, should be looked upon with suspicion. The proselytising, irrespective of your arguments that the drug-dealing and religious discourse will be kept separate, is the suspicious part. These are two things I don't want within Chance.

*Points at Worship Units*

You see that gap there? Now I want you to think about something. When several gods recently have made millions more followers, did you see their essence gain go up by any significant amount if at all? Now imagine I decide to form a pantheon with any of you. My high worship quality from the large number of followers who are fervently loyal to me will potentially drop and I gain a large number of followers which has been clearly shown not to have any considerable effect after a god already possesses a large number of followers.

Effectively... sharing worship is only useful is very specific circumstances where either,
a) The gods both have low enough numbers of worshipers for the gain in numbers to be worth it.
b) The gods already have poor worship quality and have little to lose in that regard.
c) The gods have a means to easily gain back any loss in worship quality that they might lose.

Consolidating worshipers and not sharing could arguably be a better tactic than the shared worship system some of you seem to want.

My main problem is none of those things though. My problem is the longer you share things and the more intertwined the followers become, the more blurry the lines of acceptability become. It becomes a situation similar to that of when the humans were created. Several different people contribute and feel a sense of entitlement or something akin to ownership. If I decided right now to take the Gruen and change them all to have 3 heads, I don't think anyone would care because they're pretty much exclusively my followers. If I took the humans when they first came out and tried the same thing, I'm sure it would spark debates. I simply have no wish whatsoever to put myself in a situation where someone gets to tell me how I should interact with my followers because I acknowledge that we all have different spheres and different things which are important to us. These things do not always align with one another.

Followers of Darruth are made immune to physiologically addictive effects of drugs, and resistant to psychological addiction to things other than doing Good. Including alcohol.
This extends to a lesser degree to those around them via magical aura-ish seeping things and Obelisks, and Darruthian priests can cure drug addictions during the induction into the Church/becoming a follower.

((And before anyone says 'oh you're not curing anyone who asks for it you're not Good after all!', it's really not that bloody hard to join the church, and if you aren't willing to follow the teachings of the fucking God of Goodness in order to deal with your addiction, and have a drug problem, well...))

There we go! How does it feel not to have to make a proposal to do that? Pretty good right?

Expensive and frustrating that it's necessary in the first place. The frustration would be there if it was a proposal, too, though.

My main problem is none of those things though. My problem is the longer you share things and the more intertwined the followers become, the more blurry the lines of acceptability become. It becomes a situation similar to that of when the humans were created. Several different people contribute and feel a sense of entitlement or something akin to ownership. If I decided right now to take the Gruen and change them all to have 3 heads, I don't think anyone would care because they're pretty much exclusively my followers. If I took the humans when they first came out and tried the same thing, I'm sure it would spark debates. I simply have no wish whatsoever to put myself in a situation where someone gets to tell me how I should interact with my followers because I acknowledge that we all have different spheres and different things which are important to us. These things do not always align with one another.

"I would be upset if you did that to the Gruen if you didn't ask for consent first. Simply turning someone into something they might not want to be does not sit well with me. Notice how I asked if people wanted to become blood-drinkers first rather than simply mutating some of my followers. What if those followers didn't want a longer lifespan? It's just not right."

"Also, Malakath, Asking me if I can design a Kitchen to experiment with Potions is like asking Fusil if he can make a Sword out of Steel. All you need to do is ask and Pay me back however Much Essence I lost creating it."

"What if I shared knowledge with you about the potions I create? Then we would both profit."

"My suggestion to embrace polytheism wasn't meant to be interpreted to mean that we should encourage our followers to worship each-other, just that we shouldn't force them into a situation where they can only worship one of us. Instead, we could convince people to choose us as primaries by offering them fair incentives for doing so. This healthy competition should drastically improve the quality of life of our charges. ALL of our charges."

It was an exaggerated example. I'll lay down a more realistic one.

A group of your followers start worshiping Melyssa to the same extent as you. They pray to Melyssa asking for the ability to become more powerful through use of torture. Melyssa complies. These mortals have gotten what they wanted but now you have a group of torture fanatics living in your city alongside a bunch of regular followers who don't worship Melyssa.

Would you be mad at Melyssa? Possibly because you feel like what she did is affecting the quality of life for your other worshipers and that group is doing something that goes very much against your morals? Now think about it like this. Regardless of whether or not you think what Melyssa did is wrong, all she did was act out her sphere with people who follow her and prayed to her and got exactly what they want.

Same situation but the followers are just Melyssa's and they live in a town composed entirely of Melyssa's followers. We've seen situations like this before and I have no recollection of any of you interfering or saying anything about it.

It's a simple fact that a lot of our ideals and spheres don't work well together and our followers meshing can cause complications in certain situations. The Gruen tend to follow me because they support and believe in what I stand for and what I do. If I made all of my Gruen followers have three heads, I can almost guarantee the majority would accept it happily because of their belief that I am looking out for their best interests. They'd probably say, "Hey cool, I can eat three times as fast now." instead of "What the hell, why do I have three heads? I didn't ask for this!"
This is because the Gruen are fundamentally different from other races because I created them to be tailored to my sphere as opposed to Azem's where they'd be more interested in shinies.
Also, if a non Gruen is following me, they probably have a really good reason to. I don't actively recruit like a lot of others do. I do things for my current followers and if more want to start following me, I let them. Any follower of mine should know exactly what they are getting into when they sign up. It's effectively a contract where I give them some of the best security and potential for power out of any god and in return they submit to my sphere and any modifications I might want to make to them. It's pretty clear cut and it always has been.

Your example is different. You are not targeting a race you created that is inherently interested in blood drinking, blood magic, etc. Additionally, a lot of your followers are mixed followers (which is part of my point) or followers you went out of your way to "recruit" instead of them coming to you without you having to do anything. You are targeting various different races that have no inherent connection to your sphere. Some of them aren't even your followers. It's a very different situation. I don't need to ask my predominately Gruen based worshiper base if they'd be interested in being able to eat more because I already know with absolute certainty that 99% will say yes. The more mixed our worship bases become, the more difficult it is to take actions that will make everyone happy.

I know my methods must work pretty well because I have the highest worship out of anyone. If my followers didn't like how I do things, I wouldn't have done as well as I have so far.

As you know, I'm a utilitarian good in that I give my followers Deception and Guile, but considering how close these two are to each other, I'm changing my secondary sphere to Fire, so that they may have an even greater tool in addition to Deception!

Appear to my my followers in Arenne and Ñurnea, as well as propelling my voice through every temple to me and from every statue of me:
My statue of Àrenne changes from rock to molten rock retaining it's shape. My Grand Temple in Ñurnea has its oil pools' flames rise in size and intensity, with me appearing in the center of the room."Greetings, my faithful followers. Long ago, I gave you the powerful tool of deception and have guided you to use it well. Today I return to you to give you a new tool, Fire. A powerful force capable of building, destroying, or changing. Today, I rise from the ashes, shining as a brighter flame! I return to you now, under a new name, Quéßäre(k/a/y-b/a/r, think K-bear), which is spelled the same way. Do not let it deceive you."The base of statue in Àrenne changes to an eternally lit brazier of steel, suspending the statue which has now cooled down, becoming a cool, dark steel. The amulet of Light Crystals given to me by the light stays on it's neck. The oil pools in Ñurnea have become eternally flaming without need of fuel, much like Àrenne'z brazier.
Use 6E to perform this and random miracles to needy followers, letting them know it was me.

On the topic of 107.98, yes, Fusil did threaten me, I cannot believe that anyone who have heard our discussion can believe that he did not threatened me, he practically admitted it when he said, and I cite:

Quote from: Stirk on February 06, 2015, 08:54:17 pm

"A certain proposal doesn't allow me to say what I would like to. Tykki, could you make what I am trying to say more clear?"

Clearly a reference to the proposal that made threats a crime, as I believe there is no other one that could be applied in this context, meaning that this is an admittance of his intention to threaten me.
In conclusion, there is no doubt of Fusil's intentions, considering the evidences shown so far and his well known habit of threatening other gods.

I will appear to my specie, the gasbags, and greatly encourage them to reproduce at an accelerated rate, promising a great reward soon.

I don't think we should be punishing Fusil for making threats. It's what he does, and he hasn't caused any harm doing it, other than bruised egos and minor annoyance.

Indeed, the only time I can recall, at least since my manifestation, of him following through with a threat was when I actually urged him to shoot me. That, quite literally, hurt him more than it hurt me.

Indeed, taking the significant step of sealing him away for just being annoying is ridiculously excessive, akin to razing a building to destroy an insect colony inside.

I would like to think that we, as gods, can be above pettiness, but perhaps I'm wrong in that view.

It is true I do not expect him to follow through, but the point is that he made a threat while he knew that it was forbidden, and was aware of the kind of trouble he would get into if he did such an act, which he did. He brought this situation upon himself.

If we don't follow our own rules, then what is the point of making them in the first place? Should we abandon the council and do as we wish, regardless of the opinion of others?

On the matter of punishment, you are correct that being sealed is quite a lot for small crimes. We should have a smaller punishment available for smaller crimes. Perhaps a small payment in essence?

Post by: Kilojoule Proton on February 10, 2015, 05:39:01 am

Tick 109: GleeJoy!

Ghizher has named the unnamed gas giant D'hrool pending complaints and created the Gasbags, a race of gas creatures with lightning brains vulnerable to pressure changes and dissipation, the most common cause of death by aging. There are about 300 of them. They have been taught the art of blackmail.

Raptil:
"Where might we find interesting monsters to hunt?"
"Is there a way of hunting Pain Moles without comical hammers?"

KI'Tork has created dozens of portals on beaten paths and trade routes connecting Keshan and Slytha and places of the Holy Meofisp requiring worship of the Holy Meofisp or its members or a sacrifice valuable to The Holy Meofisp to prevent random intra-world teleportation. Fusil has attempted to seal as many as possible and Neron has attempted to protect them. Malakath has supported Fusil's stance. @@@

The Frost Kobolds have not changed in number significantly or progressed appreciably. They are moderately faithful to The Holy Meofisp.

Malakath has rewarded a wizard submitting a massive rock and water squid in a sea of fire for the elemental wizard competition with much money and the runners-up with small amounts of money.

The Eldritch books seem to have traces of Void influence but not Essence. It is hard to tell whether it is godly or Void and may be something else.

A Sewa-suitable atmosphere has been created on the new planet, and reincarnation has been defined as closed to the planet. The spirits in stasis have been released to the new world.

The Gasbags' reincarnation system has been closed as well.

Malakath has created Mystic Weed and given some to Khaziraad. Fusil has attempted to destroy them and failed.

Fusil has created the Wani.

KI'Tork has created *frost-resistant Mystic Weed and distributed it to the Frost Kobolds.

Melyssa has checked around and found some eldritch books in Flagellant cities. It appears this is the cause of much fun a.k.a. torture.

Ghizher has gone around recruiting humans to build a settlement for gold and building materials. A reasonable number have agreed.

The line of Soul Protectors has been discontinued in favor of Soul Armor.

Some Malakathian missionaries have begun distributing Mystic Weed where Mystic Snow is consumed more frequently. Their guards are selected for lack of desire to consume Mystic Weed. Fusil and Fortuna work to repel the Less Mirthful Missionaries. Missionaries have been instructed to distribute only as much as is required to last a day. They are no longer distributing it and it no longer exists, but these events still happened.

Frost Weed does not affect Essence. (Seriously? :P)

The Turonni have been given an anti-drug PSA. Less functional drug users are to be employed in less desirable professions. Weaning quantities of the drugs and paroles have been made available.

Ghizher has created night eyes, thorny flowers whose petals can be used to create truth serum and whose thorns contain an antidote and deadly poison and distributed 5 000 split across Keshan and Slytha.

Tykki has cast Defend on Fusil for 108.04. Cim has performed the counterspell, Sue. Cim, Azem, Tykki, and Fusil are now in a strange shrine with many chairs with Azem and Cim on one side and Fusil and Tykki on the other. Notably, Cim and Tykki are wearing black clothing and carrying what appear to be rectangular bags with metal buckles. (Cim's thing was canceled by the Lawmancy)

Summons have been sent to The Light, Ghizher, Raptil, Atropos, Neron, Quéßäre, Schrodinger, Melyssa, Joha, Cyrix, Xaver, and Darruth.

The God Engines have counterspelled Cim, casting Defense. They also appera at the strange room in black and white clothing carrying rectangular bags.

KI'Tork has given Cim a Five-Star Kitchen.

Malakath has given Khaziraad some Frost Wed.

The Gruen can no longer become addicted unless specified.

Neron has created a highly addictive mushroom called IceGrowth providing strange visions and distributed it on Nikjol where it thrives.

Ghizher has created Tyrannis, a narcotic vine on Slytha. It is highly addictive, provides enhanced senses, causes aggression, and mental degradation, destroying sapience with long-term use.

KI'Tork has issued a requirement that Frost Kobold priests use Frost Weed during rituals and prayers with amusing results.

Followers of Darruth (and those around them to a lesser extent) have been granted immunity to addictions.

KI'Tork has instructed that chefs be respected above all while in the kitchen. A variety of races follow KI'Tork to varying degrees.

Quéßäre's secondary sphere is now Fire. Quéßäre's temples have been updated appropriately.

Ghizher has encouraged the Gasbags to reproduce as quickly as possible. Onlookers will note an ever-so-slightly increased radio signal from D'hrool.

Fusil has been sealed away and confined to the god-harming sun. Fusil has taken 3E worth of damage! Tykki's client's absence does not reflect very well on the defense.

The deities sealed by Fusil could not be located even by the Council.

Spoiler: Council rules (click to show/hide)

These are all subject to addition, removal, and change by you. They can effect changes in the game's core rules (mechanics), administrative laws (voting requirements, seniority privilegs, &c.) or the natural rules (light does not exist, gravity is repulsive, giant animals can fly like birds, &c.).
`Administrative:
A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Council-produced creations are not to be tampered with without council approval. Failure to comply will result in the automated initiation of a trial.

03.01: Only deities supporting a proposal enter the Essence pool

04.03: Remove proposals stagnant for 3 ticks or double opposed to supported for 1 tick <0>

Proposals at [IMMINENT PASS] will pass immediately if 80% of the Support or Oppose votes are Support votes.

34.05: A trial will end after 2 integer ticks (from Tx to Tx+2) with votes tallied based solely on support and opposition. Conflict results in comparing support and opposition.

Starter Code of Conduct:
I. Thou Shall Not Cause Megadeaths Or Extinction Events
II. Thou Shall Not Seek the Death of Another God
III. Thou Shall Not Force Mortals To Worship You
IV. Thou Shall Not Force Mortals Not To Worship Other Gods

Frost Weed does not affect Essence. (Seriously? :P)

I also tested the effects of traditional healing potions on Essence. It wasn't explicitly stated that they didn't, therefore it is scientifically proven that they DO refill a god's Essence! I drink more traditional healing potions.

108.04: Fusil violated §4 of the Code of Conduct and forced mortals not to worship other gods. [RESOLVED T110]

This trial is not related to murder, attempted murder, or assault. Therefore it should be resolved after the standard 2 Ticks.

You forgot my last actions:

Quote from: Andres on February 10, 2015, 05:31:46 am

I send 7 angel priests to the Ritan to spread my religion. I send the remaining 14 angel priests to give food to the hungry, clothe the poor, build homes for the homeless, and heal the sick, regardless of whether they worship me or not.

I ask the Gruen if they continue to do the above.

Oppose 107.00: Repeal 103.09
Oppose 108.00: Remove religion favoritism. Reason: Vagueness over meaning of "favouritism".
Oppose 108.01: Create an infinite temple dimension. Reason: We can just repurpose the Spirit World for that.
Oppose 108.09: Make humans have three heads
Support 108.04: Fusil violated §4 of the Code of Conduct and forced mortals not to worship other gods. Reason: While forcing people to not worship other gods isn't strictly against ACoC, it certainly goes against the spirit of Part 4 of the Code. More importantly and much more relevantly, Fusil has made it obvious that "religious purity" - described as worship of him and him alone - is being forced on A-S-H cities, meaning that he is forcing people to worship him as per his policy.

Fusil has at least 1 Tick remaining on his sentence due to this threat which is so obviously a threat that it doesn't require lawmode:

Quote from: Stirk on February 06, 2015, 09:48:14 pm

"If you continue to oppose me, I could always just give the directions of these portals to that Merman Emperor. Do you want him loose on the second planet as well? I am sure he has enough valuables to get an army through."

Additionally, he may have yet another Tick added to his sentence if we agree that threat by proxy still counts as a threat:

Quote from: Stirk on February 06, 2015, 08:54:17 pm

"A certain proposal doesn't allow me to say what I would like to. Tykki, could you make what I am trying to say more clear?"

You can't say he's forcing them not to worship other gods without defining what "forcing" actually means.

I don't particularly want the Turonni worshipping other gods, because I'm the only one who has invested Essence into them. Why should other gods benefit from my efforts? I took steps to turn away Malakath's "missionaries", but does that mean I'm forcing them not to worship another god? No, I'm protecting my investment. You other gods may see this differently.

I'd like to point out that the use of the word "forcing" in the context of the article is as a verb, and further contextualises it as an action on the mortals: "Forcing mortals not to worship other gods", I read that as restraining them, the mortals, from worshiping other gods through excessive means. I would not consider taking action to stop the other gods from proselytising to be forcing mortals not to worship other gods, more forcing other gods to fuck right off keep away from your efforts.

Further to this, is there actually any set punishment for the breaking the Code of Conduct? If not, what's the point in saying whether or not Fusil has broken them, if the punishment is going to be either completely arbitrary, or non-existent?

"Removing options that would otherwise be given to them, until only one remains, is forcing. By definition, it is the removal of free choice. In preventing mortals from hearing about Gods besides Fusil, he is not giving them the freedom of worship §3 and §4 enforce in both spirit and letter."

He's not forcing mortals not to worship them though, he's forcing other gods to be unable to show his creations that they exist. It may be against the spirit of the law, but not the letter.

Why are we suddenly so interested in punishing Fusil? Since my manifestation, I've received multiple threats from multiple gods telling me to stay away from them and their creations, you included, Cim. By your definition, removing free choice from mortals to worship or not worship a particular god, yet this is the first and only time I've seen anyone invoke the Code of Conduct to punish another god.

I did listen. Unfortunately, despite you being god of law, it isn't your opinion that governs our behaviour. It's the wording of the law itself, which is that you can't force mortals not to worship. It says nothing of forcing gods, which is what Fusil is doing. Has he specifically told the members of the ASH races they can't worship other gods? Has he punished any for doing so?

I fail to see the difference in these threats and what Fusil has done. If I were to make an attempt to convert your, or any other god's follower's, as you say they would likely act against me. This is encouraging me to stay away, much like what Fusil has done with the ASH cities. There is no difference, beyond Fusil's pro-activity in keeping other gods away.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I am back. Less so for decrease of nonsense in the council, as that is not a thing that happened, and more so because a distraction that angered me enough to ignore all else proved untrue. I'll use this moment of clarity, as I fear curent actions are moving me ragewards again.

Drugs nonsense: If a god wishes their followers to induce in adictive and harmfull materials, it is their choice and they will have only their own retardation to blame later. Pushing the substance to other people is somwhere between blunder and assault. Using mystic snow as excuse is insulting, as if you wanted to deal with it you would just stop it from snowing.

Fusil BS: Fusil was in full right to refuse access to drug dealers, his worshipers look up to him for guidance in such matters, he is no more to blame than a king protecting his people. I am far more alarmed by his ability to hide sealed gods from the council itself. I am absolutely amazed, by which I mean absurdly dissapointed in the whole circus curently happening abaut wether or not Fusil threatened somone, when sleeping gods dissapeared alltogether. Fusil may have devoured them whole or tossed them into the Void, yet nobody cares. I am saddened by my lak of surprise abaut this.

Malkath: I do not have lungs with which to smoke that, my mind is beyond such influences anyways and why would I want to consume a drug that decreases inteligence in the first place?

Portals: Congragulations, in a single day you have razed efforts of all merchants that do not worship a particular god.

Ghizher: Welcome to the council. Try to avoid all the debri, there are plenty of it in any trainwreck.

I did listen. Unfortunately, despite you being god of law, it isn't your opinion that governs our behaviour. It's the wording of the law itself, which is that you can't force mortals not to worship. It says nothing of forcing gods, which is what Fusil is doing. Has he specifically told the members of the ASH races they can't worship other gods? Has he punished any for doing so?

"Indirectly, yes, as previously discussed. Directly, I cannot tell because I cannot even approach the mortals."

Quote from: hector13 on February 10, 2015, 10:20:00 am

I fail to see the difference in these threats and what Fusil has done. If I were to make an attempt to convert your, or any other god's follower's, as you say they would likely act against me. This is encouraging me to stay away, much like what Fusil has done with the ASH cities. There is no difference, beyond Fusil's pro-activity in keeping other gods away.

"Encouraging you to stay away, yes. But you still can choose to meddle with other Gods, can you not? That is the difference. An action having unwanted consequences does not make it impossible."

It says nothing of forcing gods, which is what Fusil is doing. Has he specifically told the members of the ASH races they can't worship other gods? Has he punished any for doing so?

"Indirectly, yes, as previously discussed. Directly, I cannot tell because I cannot even approach the mortals."

Exactly, you can't prove he's forcing them not to worship you, beyond the fact Fusil has made it so you are unable to get in contact with them, which is not the same thing.

I fail to see the difference in these threats and what Fusil has done. If I were to make an attempt to convert your, or any other god's follower's, as you say they would likely act against me. This is encouraging me to stay away, much like what Fusil has done with the ASH cities. There is no difference, beyond Fusil's pro-activity in keeping other gods away.

"Encouraging you to stay away, yes. But you still can choose to meddle with other Gods, can you not? That is the difference. An action having unwanted consequences does not make it impossible."

There's no great difference in my book. Fusil is merely taking out the step in which he finds out you've been meddling and responds by making it hugely difficult for you to meddle in the first place.

Oppose 108.05

I will not allow harm to be done to narcotics. Expect me to oppose any proposal restricting their powers or creation.

I am against polytheism, as we all have our private creations, which should remain devout to their creator, and not to those who have done nothing to earn their worship.

I propose That we ban the creation of laws related to the definition or enforcement of morality. Our definitions of it are too diverse and conflicting to allow the creation of a proposal that won't harm many of us.

I continue to encourage an increased reproduction rate for the gasbags and artificially increase their number by 300. I remind them that a great reward awaits. I also teach them various mortal concepts, such as war and violence, reminding them to never use them against each other. I also teach them about the structure of the universe, the location of planets and their population.

I begin to convert null followers to my cause, giving eldritch knowledge in return. I create 100 new holy books to give to them. I also teach my new followers how to blackmail successfully in order to raise their influence in their respective society. I also teach them how to use the night eye's truth serum to obtain compromising information, and order them to keep some thorns on them, to use if said serum is administered to them.

I also spread my religion to unaligned spies and undercover agents across both main worlds, teaching them how to use the night eye to obtain secrets and show them new manipulation techniques.

Edit: Instead of increasing their number by 300, I will spend 3 essence to raise their number.

(You could pretty easily propagate them to far more then 300 just by using a little bit of essence. Generally, when propagating, it is best to state the essence amount you want to use instead of a target number. Here, even one essence would make well over 300 creatures. For a larger amount, like 5 or even 10, you could have millions)

I will also propose that we create a lesser punishment for minor crimes. Fusil's sealing, even though deserved, is disproportionately severe.

The portals you made along with the catacombs make it a pretty sure thing that Gruen and other species will make it over there eventually regardless of my involvement. If you really don't want any Gruen coming over, I'll concede about not directly spreading spores if only because I did not contribute to the building of your planet. That said, it's really only a matter of time before some of the other species make it over there anyway.

The Gruen probably wouldn't be too affected by the Frost Weed and Mystic Dust. If it caused any undesirable effects though, they'd probably just stop eating it in favor of something else. They can, after all, survive off a diet consisting entirely of dirt and rocks.

Regarding the Gas Giants, those were paid for by the Council and I don't feel as though anyone has a right to tell me not to spread my species to any place created by the Council or any place I invested essence into making. Someone tried that before and it didn't go down well for them.

Don't spread the Gruen to that Ice Planet directly. They are still allowed to use personal methods to go there though as I do not force restrictions like that on my own followers.

So you think it's fair Fusil should be murdered for being annoying?

I have no interest in getting on Fusil's good side. I honestly don't think he even has one.

My interest in this lies in the apparent abuse of the power of the Council to get rid of an annoyance. It sets a pretty dire precedent, don't you think?

Fusil is annoying, we can all agree on that. Sealing him away for a Tick every time he makes a threat isn't going to make him change his behaviour, nor is it a particularly viable as a punishment. After the Tick is passed and he's unsealed, he can get back to doing what he was doing, and if anyone interferes with his creations in the mean time, he has reason to take action against them.

The Catacombs are a means of teleportation created by another god. I don't know the details exactly but they seem to have less limitations than the portals you created. Even without them, there are plenty of ways for mortals to travel between worlds. Some have the innate ability to do so and the rest can just use mortal magic if nothing else.

I'm not offended and I did not mean to sound like I was. I didn't create the ice planet nor did I have a hand in doing so. For those reasons, I have little objection to your preference that I do not directly spread by followers there. I may have been a bit harsh with what I said about the gas giants but I was simply letting it be known that I dislike having others tell me I can't use something I helped pay for or that was made for public use by the Council. An event like that has happened to me previously where I made that somewhat clear and I was simply citing it to indicate my feelings on the matter and how I might react in such a situation.

Thanks for the gift baskets.

Some Gruen do not need to eat but not all of them. Some Gruen can fly or float but not all of them. Some Gruen do not need to breathe but not all of them.

I'm confident the Gruen can survive in that location. The question I have is if Gruen Spores can develop in that location. If not, it wouldn't be the first time I've made modifications to my species. I do it more than any other god.

I'm not trying to drive your species out of the gas giants though. My interest is primarily is further promoting my own species and continuing to make them as adaptable as possible.

I mentioned previously the only time I've seen him follow through with a threat was when I specifically encouraged him to, and he even let me set the bloody rules for it!

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the sheer pointlessness of the Council.

If you feel so strongly about Fusil, why not take action against him? You have twice as much Essence as him and... I don't know what else, because you're a slimy, underhanded bastard difficult one to read, given your lack of visibility.

In this particular instance, breathing is required to sustain life. Worship isn't.

"So it is not right to force someone to worship you even if they were already doing that. In that case, I propose that Fusil broke Part III of Anath's Code of Conduct: Thou Shall Not Force Mortals To Worship You. He is forcing his policy of "religious purity" onto A-S-H cities. This policy is described as "thou must worship Fusil and only Fusil". (Paraphrasing.) That first part - "thou must worship Fusil" - means that he is forcing the Armu, Seppo, and Hovori to worship him, though they would do so anyway."

((The sleeping gods that Fusil imprisoned aren't dead. I asked KJP about this when talking about Fusil's prisoners as Yaos and he said that there was no way the death of a god wouldn't be announced. They could, however, be at 1 Essence and we'd never know.))

I find a Flagellant who worships me primarily and teach it how to heal people using blood magic and I will tell it to spread knowledge of how to use blood magic to other Flagellants. This should allow them to recover wounds they receive from torture more quickly, allowing themselves to return to torturing faster than usual. (I'm giving blood healing knowledge to a primary worshipper because they're more likely to do as I say and spread knowledge of the technique. I don't expect the Flagellant to spread my religion.)

I Oppose this. Your case is weak, Malakath. I fully expect the Turonni to worship me. That's kind of why I created them, don't you think?

Should we now punish all the other gods for creating races with that expectation in mind?

Some Gruen do not need to eat but not all of them. Some Gruen can fly or float but not all of them. Some Gruen do not need to breathe but not all of them.

I'm confident the Gruen can survive in that location. The question I have is if Gruen Spores can develop in that location. If not, it wouldn't be the first time I've made modifications to my species. I do it more than any other god.

I'm not trying to drive your species out of the gas giants though. My interest is primarily is further promoting my own species and continuing to make them as adaptable as possible.

I now realize that my reply appears to be quite sarcastic and aggressive, and for that, I must give my most sincere excuse. My sentiment is honest, I wish for both of our creation to coexist peacefully and don't expect yours to drive mine away. I was simply skeptical towards the ability of a physical specie to adapt to a non-solid environment. I again repeat my hope that both of our kind could cooperate in the future.

As for the new developments in the council,

I would like to thank Quéßäre for revoking his proposal, as it would only serve to cause conflicts in this situation, although I must admit that I understand why he would wish for such a proposal to pass.

On 106.03, even though I must admit I would not be sad to learn the death of Fusil, considering his unfounded hostility towards me, I believe death should only be given to those who menace the integrity of our bubble, or threaten multiple god's existence by their actions. I therefore must oppose it, and Instead propose giving him a lesser punishment. I will let the council decide the nature of it.

I must also oppose Malakath's proposal to punish Fusil. I fail to see any reason to punish him for protecting his followers from preachers, as I have seen multiple other gods do the same without getting punished. It is common sense to expect your creation to worship you, and not some gods who had nothing to do in their birth. This is why my only attempts at spreading my faith outside of my creation is limited to unaligned species and null followers.

I must admit that you bring a convincing case, and so I will stop opposing your proposal. The very concept of renouncing to your creator in favor of someone else makes absolutely no sense to me however, and so I believe that this law is pointless.
I will have to think more about this subject before I make my final decision.


Now, on other news,
I create a small ring of asteroids to orbit around D'hrool. Those asteroids contains a high density of minerals, including iron and gold. This ring will contain a small moon's worth of matter.

I also appear in a large unaligned keshan city as a levitating perfect black sphere about as big as a man. I speak to the population with an unusually joyful voice, saying:
"Hello mortals! I am the god known as Ghizher, having the aspects of the eldritch and secrets. I won't be offended if you don't know me yet, since I didn't make any efforts to be seen before. I wish to change that! I will do so by giving you all sorts of great things, such as useful knowledge, new plants with amazing qualities, and all sorts of cool objects! Those of you who choose to worship me will get even more! I sincerely hope we will all get along in the future!"

I leave one of my holy books behind as I dematerialize and return to D'hrool, where I teach the Gasbags about the gruen and their god's plan to bring them here. I tell them to be kind toward them and give them the ability to communicate by linking their brain to that of another specie by connecting them with a bolt of lightning too weak to harm anyone.

"There are two reasons I can think of why someone's creator would stop worshipping their god primarily. (Primarily means they worship that god above all others. They might still worship their creator as their secondary god.) The first is if their god does needlessly cruel things to them and so they might turn to another god for protection. The second reason is that another god's spheres more align with an individual more than its creator. A Mountwyrm weaponsmith, for example, might choose Fusil as a primary due to its profession."

"One thing I find is of critical importance to know is that just because a creature has a non-creator deity as their primary god doesn't mean they'll stop worshipping their creator. In fact, Part IV may just be there so that beings are allowed to worship non-creator gods as secondary gods. For gods gods, the primary worship of their created race can be less than the combined secondary worship of the races they didn't create. This is likely to be true for you too, considering your efforts to convert those who aren't Gasbags." (The only unaligned race in the game are Humans. Many Humans still worship Yaos, dead god of Humans and Ambition, due to sheer reverence and the fact that he's come back from the dead so many times.)

Even after millenia!?

I would also like to point out that technically you can't be tried for the same crime twice. I also have issue with it being termed "murder" since Yaos came back, at least 5 times.

"There is no statute of limitations on murder.

"There's no statute of limitations period, but there's also the fact that time works different for us. In a single day, centuries might pass or a few mere hours. What's certain is that Yaos was killed in the mere equivalent of about 40 days ago and is thus not covered under our non-existent statute of limitations."

"Technically we don't have that law either. The intention was murder and the result was murder. Just because Yaos came back from the dead doesn't mean he didn't die. The last 5 attempts were even intentional in their attempt to make sure Yaos permanently died."

Perhaps I'm taking a step to stop it being abused? The Council is a nice idea, yet you and Darruth seem to think that Fusil's past actions need to be addressed after the sixth attempt and then 40 days later. The Code of Conduct is being selectively applied and is thus another mechanism through which a petty vendetta can be pursued.

Tell me, beyond the protection the Council gives us from each other, what does it actually accomplish that an individual god can't do alone or in a pantheon?

Not necessarily true. You get more for your money but groups or individuals willing and capable of investing enough essence can pull off identical effects.

"We could run an experiment. On the one hand, we have three gods create a ball that moves around in a circle perpetually. On the other, we have a proposal pass with three gods supporting and no gods opposing to create the same thing. In both instances, one god will attempt to push the balls away without using Essence. If Council proposals are stronger, it'll be more difficult to destabilise the second ball's orbit. Of course, we can't perform this experiment because Fortuna is auto-opposing every proposal."

Council has power, but not speed. Gods have speed, but their power is none compared to the council. That's how it has always been, and it has been so for a reason. Council is there to be used to create substance to be shaped by gods, for projects of greatest scope, for laws that are above all and for punishemnt of those that break them. To use it for anything else is a waste of time, something I had hoped was obivious. Malkath, your absurdly terrible decisions have brought deities in conflict over reasons that they would had considered beneath them had you not forced the issue. Fortuna, your anger is understandable, but your actions are silly. Ghisgher, I would apreciate if you stopped trying to make this mess bigger and more stupid.

Thank you Amathet. Azem, you seem to be annoyed by apathy of gods, pettynes of the council and most of all, nobody telling Fusil to shut it. So I ask, who are you to call out gods on apathy when you couldn't be bothered to even try to recover Saphira, who are you to speak of pettynes whn you only action in last ticks was to ruin economies of the world for no reason at all, and why do you ridicule weaker gods for ignoring Fusils threats when you do exactly the same while wielding power to opose him unsuported? When you claim something to be wrong, far too often you are the worst example of such. You claim to be tired. Use that essense you have acumulated doing fuck all to create a guardian and seal yourself until such times that your people would call out to you if this life has became too much for you to bear. Else, get off your golden ass and start doing something to fix it.

Spoiler: List of Plants (updated): (click to show/hide)

Ghizher:
Night Eye:
A bell-shaped flower. The petals are purple on the outside and blood-red on the inside. The petals can be made into a truth serum, for which its thorns can be made an antidote for, although this antidote is also a lethal poison that can kill in a few hours. Exists on Keshan and Syltha.

Tyrannis:
A vine with narcotic properties. It is highly addictive and raises senses and aggression extremely in its users. Long-term use leads to mental degrading that will eventually lead to a loss of sapience in its users, making them act like animals. Grows on trees or in self-sustaining clusters nearby and can be eaten raw or smoked. Exists on Syltha.

KI'Tork:
Happy Seeds:
Happy Seeds grow on small purple bushes by the thousands and whenever they are consumed they put the User to sleep where their soul experiences Raw, Endless Pleasure for a week. Whenever the User wakes up they'll have grown More Satisfied with life in General, Be inclined to be more Faithful towards their chosen Deity along with being more Peaceful in their Mind. Happy Seeds are not addictive but the Mental Effects do slowly grow over time with repeated use. Happy Seed Bushes grow wherever there are Kitchen Spirits and Depressed Mortals.

Frost Weed:
A magical weed enchanted to resist frost and survive cold temperatures. It is nonaddictive and has no harmful affects. Contains regenerative properties that can be enhanced in a potion of potent regeneration for half a minute or released through smoking for minor regenerative affects. Exists on Nikjol.

Neron:
Ice Growth:
A highly addictive mushroom. Induces strange visions when eaten. Grows best in the dark and cold atop ice. Exists on Nikjol.

Serac:
Dripvine:
A vine that would grow over trees and houses and constantly drip water.

Cloudbulb tree:
A tree that grows clouds in a bubble for fruit, then the bubble pops, releasing the cloud which then rains somewhere else. Wherever the rain fell, another tree will sprout.

Warmwood tree:
A tree that has wood that is always 40°C no matter what, with flowers that shine like flame and leaves that glow like mostly burnt coals.

Darkglow tree:
A tree that absorbs all light from the area around it during the day (creating darkness), then releases it in huge streams from its glowing silver flowers at night.

Mimic tree:
A tree that remembers sounds and grows nuts that produce that sound when broken.

Crustacean coral:
A coral that grows crabs which scuttle away and live before eventually turning into coral to reproduce.

The goal of this proposal was not to literally end the council. I would be quite surprised if it were to happen. What I wished was to force everyone into action, and end this pathetic waste of time you call "conflict" (petty fight would be a more appropriate name) once for all so that we may concentrate on more important matters. I do believe that my action was justified.

Consider this proposition as a wake-up call for everybody, as our situation has become unacceptable. How can we hope to face bigger threats if we cannot even have a mature discussion?

You... I like you.

Ever since I've been manifest, the Council hasn't really done anything. I believe I first came to being during a time in which the Void was taking hold, and nothing was really done.

The next major crisis was a parasite infestation, caused by another god. The Council never really took action, but the individual gods helped in their own inimitable way.

Then the Merman crisis. It seems we let him take a grand chunk of land, argued over what to do and eventually did nothing. Things calmed down for a while, and then he conquered more land, though not through martial means. We argued further, and settled on doing... nothing!
Again.

Perhaps we can actually be useful to the Bubble at some point in the near future, if we can think of working together. I remain hopeful, but doubtful.

My auto-oppose remains until people stop using the Council for their own fallacious needs, or actually start using it to help the inhabitants of the Bubble that are not divine in nature.

I didn't act because I had no need to act.

I proposed a few things to the Council that nobody was interested in, namely imprisoning the Merman Emperor and interrogating him. You wanted to kill him outright, and not find a damn thing out about his motivations, without considering the implications of what taking the head off the beast could do.

Presently his expansion is through non-violent means, however that works, so I'm uncertain of the necessity of taking decisive action at the moment.

I, Malakath, I didn't have to act, because the Turonni were not affected. I'm complaining the Council didn't do anything because the next time the Turonni are affected, I'll be the only one dealing with it.

I thought making proposals through the Council would help the situation, but you were the only one to take notice.

You did, but two votes does not a Council agreement make.

I like how you're so near-sighted Malakath, it probably means we have little to worry about in terms of any underhanded deals you may have. Perhaps you may even know how to survive the sun, and that's why you're becoming so belligerent? Fortuna chuckles to himself I find that hard to believe though.

The reason why it would be better to figure out his motivations before we kill him, without trial even(!), is because it may fragment Merfolk society so much that we would then have three or four Merfolk factions to deal with, murdering their way through the land. I imagine that would be exponentially more difficult to deal with.

He may deserve death, he may just be someone else's pawn in a macabre game designed to examine our response to a threat. Any number of other things could happen, and taking the step to imprison him would at least let the rest of them know we don't take things like that sitting down. We may even be able to stop something similar happening in the future.

We did nothing, however. Now we just look ineffective. It's a wonder the conquered people still worship us.

I give the Tyrannis vine the ability to use their deceased comrades as a food source, meaning that it is essentially cannibal now. Tyrannis vines will now tend to grow in large clusters. They can now also grow outside of their native forests by sustaining themselves, and do so at a much faster rate.

I would suggest that we take care of problems by ourselves instead of waiting for the council to take action when it is obvious that none will be taken in time.
The mortals have probably all forgotten by now of the actions of the merman people, and so I believe taking action now would only serve to emphasize our Inefficiency and complete disconnection to their reality, which might impact negatively on the quality of our worship.

I will have to inform myself more before I give my opinion on subjects older than I am, but my point on public opinion still stands. Acting too late is worse that not acting at all in this case, so this is why I propose to lead the interrogation of the emperor myself. The fact that I was not there when it happened will be a good excuse for acting late. Just tell me what information I need to obtain and I will make sure it will be found.

My reserves of essence are diminishing rapidly, and I wish to keep a minimum for emergencies. I fear that the cost of interrogating the emperor will put me in a dangerous situation, and so I offer two possibilities:
1. If someone accepts to fund the interrogation, I can begin right now.
2. If no one is interested in funding me, I will have to delay the questioning to until I get in a more stable situation ((I expect it to take 1-3 ticks.))

Given my relative youth, I don't think anybody would listen.

Azem, for example, seems to be entirely convinced the Council is beyond saving, you work in the background so I'm not sure about your thinking on it, though I imagine it's not much different than Azem.

The likes of Malakath use the Council for the most mundane things, and she uses it all the time, so the more recent gods think that's what it's for instead of doing some things on their own. During major crises, she proposes things without thinking them through or discussing them with the rest of us, and thus nobody votes for them and she goes off and sulks, saying she won't involve herself in politics
anymore. We can only wish she follows through with that, one of these times...

It appeared during the Merman Crisis that individual gods looked after their own creations before they went after the Merfolk. I thought that was a reasonable response, but because of Malakath's misuse of the Council, it was a team of individuals not coordinating with each other over what to do.

I appear to the merman emperor while he is alone, sealing all possible exits with walls of unbreachable black thorns and use my powers to prevent all form of communication between the outside and the inside, preventing anyone to know what is happening inside.
"I believe we have important matters to discuss."

I leave a note to the council telling that I will bring all information I manage to get from the emperor as soon as I have finished the interrogation. I also inform them that I will be unreachable until then.

Unless you perform the interrogation publicly and without torture, I refuse to believe a single word of what you say on the matter.

"What do you have against Meylessa?"

I don't have anything against Melyssa, I just don't believe torture will give us an accurate response.

If you were to give some of your beings to Melyssa, how many different things do you think she could get them to admit to, using only torture?

Create glowing monoliths to spread quite numerously all over the planets and moons, that teach all aspects of the light.
Inscribed on the monoliths you find magically coded hieroglyphs with the ability to transmit knowledge of the light.

Inscribed upon the monoliths you also find the following statements. "Light creates, light divides, light destroys. Under the light all is united, as light is all and all are light."
Give the monoliths the ability to increase the intelligence of animals and beings around their location.

Tick 110: BURN THE HERETIC?

Spoiler: misc stuff/half-OOC, check here first if confused (click to show/hide)

@@@: I think something was supposed to happen, but I can't remember any more. It's probably almost time for a little upgrade in how updates get written.

Armour, armor, colour, color, &c.: I note that this is yet to cause ambiguity.

110, 111, 2 ticks: Fixed

The Sewa exist on all three selected planets (Keshan, Slytha, farm planet (named?) and reincarnate into other Sewa, yes.

108.00: Withdrawn

Accents, Quéßäre: No change so far, so I assume you're keeping the acutes (and it's not a lot of work with a simple $ sed -i 's/é/è/g' */*)

Odolhirum has been razed by a mysterious invading force! Its centers of magical study have imploded and turned to ash, stone, and dust. None who enter its ruins return, and at night, terrifying sounds can be heard from inside.

Malakath has drunk more traditional healing potions. They do not affect Essence at all. Malakath has also sent 7 angel priests to the Ritan to spread Malakathian belief and the other 14 to perform charitable work in general.

The Gruen respond differently depending on whether they do or not, much like any sufficiently diverse group of individuals.

The Sewa on the new planet have been given special seeds for grain-like plants, nad their planet has been populated with trees that can be used to produce tools.

Cim has cast Present Evidence! The court seems swayed by the evidence but Tykki counters:
"You, too, have hidden your followers, Cim, Esteemed Lawgiver. Your worshippers vastly surpass Joha's in number, yet we see not a single trace of them. Quéßäre Smoldertongue has done so as well. Have any of you gods knowledge of where Àrenne is? Do none of you find it puzzling how the wolf people survived the merfolk campaign despite the recent formation of their civilization? The Armu-Seppo-Hovori cities can at least know of other gods, a step above the high elves, to be sure. Surely the fact that these other gods spite Fusil so is little encouragement? The sword of justice cuts both ways."

Raptil:
"Telestriders! The most elusive prey! The hunt begins at once!"
"But real hammers just torture them, and you know how Melyssa is...Melyssa."

A community of the ordinary Kobolds seem to be preparing a massive cheese wheel.

KI'Tork has given the Green Water intoxicating qualities for Kobolds when refined.

Ghizher has created 60 000 Gasbags and continued to encourage their stork derby. Additionally, Ghizher has introduced the previously alien concept of war and the concept of violence, exhorting them not to use them amongst themselves in addition to teaching them about the universe, the worlds, and their inhabitants.

Ghizher has begun attempting to convert followers of the Void for eldritch knowledge. Many welcome Ghizher variously as the "Bridge-builder," "The Speaker of the Void," or "Medium among the Shadows" and persist in their beliefs. Ghizher has taught the more land-anchored followers the methods of successful blackmail and uses of night eye truth serum and thorns. The Void followers have been given 100 new holy books. There is some complaint about them not being eldritch enough.

Finally, Ghizher has begun spreading Ghizher's religion among unaligned spies/agents across Keshan and Slytha along with night eye and manipulation techniques.

Grauel has spread Gruen Spores across all significant bodies that do not have them yet. Quite a few survive deep in the gas giants where the air is almost as dense as water and many also survive on the barren, airless moons and asteroids. This is with the exception of Nikjol.

KI'Tork has created Happy Seeds which make consumers feel pleasure and become more satisfied and grow near concentrations of Kitchen Spirits and depressed mortals. They have been spread to all worlds with many mortals.

Azxar has gone around the Flagellant cities turning pain-relieving drugs into pain-inducing drugs. Many a good screech can be heard at night.

Melyssa: The Flagellants (now?) feel proportional pleasure when they feel proportional pain, although the use of the terms is somewhat ambiguous when they seek out pain.
"I will now swim in a pool of acid, punch these toothy, spiny fishes and eat them, and dance around on broken glass!"
"We have created a great wheel that harvests the torture of many to power the torture of others!"
"Could you test out this chair?"

KI'Tork has made a show of sending gift baskets of jelly rolls to Grauel's angels and priests and a large gift basket to Grauel.

Quéßäre has created 20 million Wolf-People split between Keshan and Slytha and 20 million High Elves split among Keshan and Slytha with a sizable fraction going to Àrenne.

Malakath has introduced blood magic to the Flagellants for the purpose of faster torture turnover.

Ghizher has created a small metal-rich ring around D'hrool with the mass of a small moon and made an appearance in a large, unaligned city on Keshan as a levitating perfect black sphere as large as a man. A holy book has been dropped and examined by the onlookers. The Gasbags have been taught about the Gruen and given a medium of communication.

It appears that all that happens when Councils are dissolved is that the Council as a regulatory mechanism is removed, all proposals no longer apply, and justice must be enacted more carefully in the absence of an essentially mindless neutral regulator with absolute power.

Malakath has added a plane.

Azem has stared into the void. It blinks first.

Ghizher has caused the Tyrannis vine to arouse a hunger for the flesh of comrades and made them grow in large forests.

The Light has given Ghizher 5E to interrogate the Emperor. Ghizher has begun the interrogation. Ghizher's orb watches the Gasbags.

The Light has created many glowing monoliths on all the planets and moons to teach all the aspects of The Light. They have the ability to increase the intelligence of animals and beings nearby.

The city of Light has not so recently undergone a massive economic boom and an increase in exports of food and tools to a Sorae island turtle where the products are oddly absent.

Fusil's sentence has been extended to the end of T111.

[size=16]Fusil has been struck down![/size]

"Before you ask, Khaziraad, I didn't glass my own city. Considering its terrifying nature which is also present in the Gruen city the Stone Men burned down I suspect that Fusil is responsible for this."

I look at the mysterious invading force. What/who are they?

"You, too, have hidden your followers, Cim, Esteemed Lawgiver. Your worshippers vastly surpass Joha's in number, yet we see not a single trace of them. Quéßäre Smoldertongue has done so as well. Have any of you gods knowledge of where Àrenne is? Do none of you find it puzzling how the wolf people survived the merfolk campaign despite the recent formation of their civilization? The Armu-Seppo-Hovori cities can at least know of other gods, a step above the high elves, to be sure. Surely the fact that these other gods spite Fusil so is little encouragement? The sword of justice cuts both ways."

"Àrenne is likely hidden to prevent certain incidents involving weapons of nuclear nature or mysterious plagues brought about by unknown causes. Quéßäre has shown that he allows his people to worship other gods so his hidden city is not an issue. The issue isn't that A-S-H cities are hidden - they're not - only that they are forced into worshipping one god. The Wolf People were created in Tick 57 and to call their civilisation "recently formed" is inaccurate. We've had no reports of the Merfolk conquering Hummingbirds either, do you think we should charge Kli with breaking Part IV as well? The one good point you have is regarding Cim. I will let other gods speak their points now."

"Let me give you some advice from someone a bit older and more experienced than you, Ghizher. Instead of claiming about how you are so much more eldritch than the Void or how you're not a mere pathway to it instead just let them believe that. It will help. Your books are not eldritch enough and that will also help. Delve deeper into your own nature and leave a path for others to follow. Soon enough, they'll know that the "not eldritch enough" books are the barest taste of true eldritch, that the Void is nothing compared to you and what you are. If anything, the Void is a bridge to you. It will take a long time to travel this path but the rewards are there if you stick to it. This is my advice, take it as you will."

Fusil has been struck down!

"This is very odd. Fusil was at 8 Essence last Tick and the sun merely took 3E from him. He couldn't have died that quickly in one Tick. Perhaps the sun's damage increases after spending more time in it? In the first Tick it removes a god's "protective shell" and in the subsequent Ticks it attacks them more directly. Of course, this is entirely speculative and I find my idea of a god having a "protective shell" to be quite dubious."

Oppose 109.04: Ban Council proposals relating to the definition or enforcement of morality

I am surprised you don't see a single trace of my worshipers, as you say. I do in fact know where Kaybar's worshipers and Àrenne is, and the arrangement does not break the Code of Conduct. The wolf people either were never assaulted by the Emperor, or had one or more Gods on their side. It is not puzzling. I can confirm the High Elves know of other Gods, but not do so for A-S-H. Do not rely on evidence that cannot be verified. I can see why Fusil did what he did, but that does not make it any less unlawful."

"You, too, have hidden your followers, Cim, Esteemed Lawgiver. Your worshippers vastly surpass Joha's in number, yet we see not a single trace of them. Quéßäre Smoldertongue has done so as well. Have any of you gods knowledge of where Àrenne is? Do none of you find it puzzling how the wolf people survived the merfolk campaign despite the recent formation of their civilization? The Armu-Seppo-Hovori cities can at least know of other gods, a step above the high elves, to be sure. Surely the fact that these other gods spite Fusil so is little encouragement? The sword of justice cuts both ways."

"Despite your beliefs, I actually do not stop my followers in Àrenne from worshiping other Gods. There is, however much it may disgust me, a sizable Fusil following there. I have not stopped them from worshiping you, nor do I encourage it. In fact, just a little while ago I made a church to Raptil there. It is hidden because we know how much a certain God (FUSIL) likes to slaughter those they he oppose them, which is everyone.

Also, surviving is all the Wolf-men did in the Merfolk invasion, of which only a few thousand of them actually accomplished. They survived because Ñurnea is a giant citadel and I assisted them in defending it."

Could someone please inform me on the "Yaosian inquisition" and "the shadowy ones"? I will not be able to properly conduct this interrogation if I do not know more about the merman's history. Any significant details on the life of the emperor is welcome.

"The Yaosian Inquisition was an institution founded by Yaos to hunt down and eradicate dangerous Void cults within the Empire of Mankind, an empire comprising of all or most Humans on Keshan. Their early history was marked by harsh crackdowns on anything Void-related which prompted a reformation in which the Inquisition would use non-lethal weaponry as standard and would be more lenient in regards to Void-association, such as allowing the Void cult of Charity to exist.
After one of Yaos' deaths, it was disbanded and replaced by a group called EVAC who would only handle critically dangerous Void cults. When Yaoswas revived, she refounded the Inquisition and made EVAC a branch of the Inquisition. After Yaos' final death, the Inquisition was disbanded entirely along with the Empire of Mankind.
In its lifetime, the Inquisition only ever operated within the Empire of Mankind and it is extremely unlikely they would've had anything to do with the Merman Emperor considering their jurisdiction did not extend outside the Empire and because Humans are physically incapable of breathing underwater. While I am unsure of this, the Inquisition was disbanded either before Merfolk as a race even existed or were disbanded shortly after."

I would also be grateful if you remembered that I am the god of eldritch secrets, not the god of lies and chronic backstabbing.

"I shall interrogate him afterwards then, but I agree, we should not mistrust him more than any other god. Sadly he is enigmatic as he douses in secret, but I would like to see a report of his interrogation if he were to share it with the world. I support void research gravely. Be warned though God of Eldritch Knowledge, I think we can all agree here, that most of us would not like to see you making any deals with the void, without telling us beforehand. I hope I can get a verbal agreement on that from you."

When I proposed that we all interrogate him, I was not actually saying that we should do it, I was trying to point out how inefficient we are when we cannot trust each other. Repeating the same task again and again is utterly pointless. As for making deals with the void, I already know how precarious my situation is due to my main aspect. I am not foolish enough to risk getting the entire council against me to get the favor of some void being outside of our bubble. What happened with the Luminants at my arrival was purely a coincidence. I was not even aware of their existence when my book neutralized their rival's followers. Now that I think about it, I am not even sure on how that was possible.

@Tykki: "Tykki, I have a few questions regarding Shinjo if you don't mind answering them. The Shinjo of your and the rest of STF's weapons, specifically. After Yaos attacked you and stole your weapons he asked them to take their humanoid forms so he could speak with them. After they did, it was quickly found that they were insane, a fact that has puzzled Yaos throughout his life and mine as well until now. You see, I've come up with a little theory."

"According to Fusil's description of Shinjo, they take the form of the beings that use them. As you are all angels, this would logically mean that your Shinjo would take the forms of angels. Their evolutionary imperative demanded them to become as their wielders, yet their wielders - you and the rest of Strike Team Fusil - were too powerful to ever be reached by something as weak as a mortal. The strain of these two conflicting variables is what made them insane."

"My questions are thus: Is this what drew your weapons to be insane? If not, then is it possible for a new angel or god to be born simply by the fact that the Shinjo's evolutionary imperative demands them to be such in the case of either being their wielder?"

Do we even know enough about the void to be able to make a protocol? I would prefer that we attempt to learn as much as possible about it before. Of course, any knowledge we learn will be made public. Mortals however do not need to know, as telling them about it will only serve to strengthen null cults and cause general panic.

I've seen quite the opposite, before even getting to the way Torture is defined. If she only did it to consenting individuals, she would be a God of BDSM, not a God of Torture. Besides which, her Pain Moles? How about the angels that she herself described as demons?

And Ghizer is not simply the plant; that would be minor, since it's easy enough to deal with. It's also the fact that his books drive people insane. If he didn't seem to be focusing on the 'foul consequences for anyone nearby' part of Eldritch, I would be fine with him.

Additionally, I built the Pantheon Courts, and even included Melyssa, so I'm already doing my part, as much as I'm willing on that front, anyway, for the Gods I don't get along well with.

Speaking of which, with Fusil dead and all these new gods...

"A god's actions do not define their spheres. If she only tortured consenting individuals she would not magically become goddess of BDSM (which is covered under Torture) unless she consciously decided to do so. What about her maiming moles? Should all our future creations be herbivorous beasts without ways to protect themselves? Wargs don't gently sing their prey to sleep, venemous orb weavers don't cuddle their prey to oblivion, and wyverns don't use their shots to light fires for old animals about to die, so why discriminate against maiming moles? As far as I can tell, the only difference between her angels and the angels of others is what she calls them."

I created 145 books in total, 100 of which are in the hands of null followers, 44 in unknown hands and one in the hands of unaligned humans. Is it really that munch?

As for the "foul consequences", They are an integral part of the concept of Eldritch, as you cannot have "completely beyond mortal understanding" without madness. The very concept of Eldritch is to force information into a mind that is not built to process it, which is obviously a very unhealthy process. Asking me to stop breaking minds while bringing my knowledge would akin to ask Melyssa to stop inflicting pain when she torture people.

As far as I can tell from your previous dealings, the nature of the Eldritch is just the alien and the inconceivable itself; not the forcing of knowledge upon fragile minds. The mind naturally shields itself from such knowledge by simply refusing to accept the input, in most cases. You shatter this barrier and with it, the sanity of those who run afoul of it.

And if they are indeed an integral part of it, that would just make me all the more opposed to you, wouldn't it? Melyssa doesn't get a free pass for torturing people just because she's a God of Torture, just like Grauel wouldn't get a free pass if he decided to start eating entire cities. And before you bring up the Dragon incident, Malakath, that was resolved peacefully precisely because I didn't try going to war over it or anything, and I couldn't anyway because then I'd be eaten too, with how powerful he was at that time(and still is).

And yes, driving insane innocent people to spread your religion is 'that much'.

"Perhaps we should make a dedicated anti-Void energy specifically to remove Void Influence. One of Darruth's angels and the Lunagee (the Keshan dust ring made Atropos' sapient half-angel) already negate and destroy Void Influence so it's merely a matter of replicating that and making it a form of energy. Perhaps we can make it its own magical attunement? In the long run it would be cheaper than making all present and future suns anti-Void.

I'm genuinely curious at this point as to why the Anti-Void sentiment seems to be so overwhelmingly popular or pushed through, considering they haven't been doing much in the bubble that's actually detrimental to us lately. Just seems rude and ill-thought out to antagonize them. They are more powerful than we are. If they're being friendly, why are we telling them to screw off?

And don't get me wrong, some Nulls definitely can and should be told to screw off, just seems unnecessary for many reasons to try and continually get rid of influence. Perhaps some faction in the Null that doesn't have much to do with Bubbles typically is working with some of the other gods to try and weaken it's rivals by some fraction?

"There are three factions of the Void: Umbral, Liminal, and Luminant. Umbral is the smallest faction with both the Luminant and Liminal factions being larger. The Luminants' plans expressly involve the destruction of our Bubble, meaning we have to suppress them. The Liminals will try to keep the balance of the Umbrals and the Luminants by empowering the now-suppressed Luminants, meaning we have to suppress the Liminals as well. Since a majority of Void Beings are our enemies it makes sense to create anti-Void energy. The Umbrals are for the most part neutral so they won't be affected much anyway. As for their power, they can only express their power if they have Influence in our Bubble. Decreasing their Influence means decreasing their power. They aren't being friendly. At the very, very best a Null will only be neutral to us. Other Nulls will deal with us with varying degrees of malevolence, if only because their influence in our world would be a negative in the long run."

"I managed to get my hands on some Void Energy when Yaos came back as a monster. I performed some experiments and gained plenty of insight into the natures of both Essence and Void Energy. On another occasion, I asked the Oracle a few carefully worded questions to learn more. In conclusion, Essence is Void Energy distilled by sapience. Void Energy can be used to manipulate entropy in both directions, while Essence can do that and create new matter in addition. The Bubble itself is a source of Void Energy, an anomaly in the Churn. The Churn seems to be both Void and Anti-Void Energy, as paradoxical as it is. Creating this Anti-Void Energy might burst our bubble, both figuratively and literally."

We should know more about the goal of each specific factions, know which is threatening and which might be helpful or at least neutral. We also need to know more about essence, how it is generated from worship and sphere influence and how it affect us.

I therefore Propose that we make research on essence and void a priority. I will do research on my own if the council refuse to do so.

"Creating this Anti-Void Energy might burst our bubble, both figuratively and literally."

We've already created anti-Void energy so it's probably not dangerous in small amounts. Perhaps we can create an artifact that is strongly anti-Void when it's turned on and Void-neutral when it's off? Perhaps we can make a barrier which reflects anti-Void energy so that any attempting to escape the Bubble will be returned to whence it came?"

I therefore Propose that we make research on essence and void a priority. I will do research on my own if the council refuse to do so.

For now, I will send my orb to the limit of our bubble to try to learn more on how does it stops the void from entering and find more about how essence and void interacts.

I don't think we can, though. If nothing else, the Council, as we've seen in the past, is not all-seeing, and I don't think anyone wants it to be. It is, by nature, a reactive force to the Gods, while we are the active force behind it.

As far as I know the Luminants don't actually care about killing us per se, their plans just happen to have a side-effect of us dying and they have no intentions of changing that.

Also, has anyone checked on what Fusil's angels have been doing recently? He had more than a few, and their inactivity compared to Yaos' angels when they died makes me vaguely suspicious.

Post by: hector13 on February 17, 2015, 09:09:03 am

We've had this conversation before. Your also making assumptions... again.

Fusil was killed because he made threats, and then a few more things people saw fit to throw in after he was imprisoned.

The punishment, in this instance, vastly outweighed his purported crimes. The creativity came in your interpretation, and selective application of, the law specifically in regards to his "forcing" mortals to worship him/not worship other gods, not his threats. If his words hurt your so, you need to manifest thicker skin. The same goes for Darruth.

It pains me that the Council, a body with potentially unlimited powers, was used to pursue several personal vendettas, which will likely amount to nothing once Fusil revives and reacts.

I'd like to remind you he died before his trial was complete, which is tantamount to murder.

The inefficiency and misuse of the council is a serious problem that we should try to fix. We need a better way to enforce proposals that have passed and find a way to make sure that the council is only used for projects that require the intervention of multiple gods or affect the bubble as a whole. Complaining will change nothing to our current situation and so I will ask to all of you if you have ideas that could make the council regain it's original purpose.

I believe that a big part of the problem come from the fact that none of us seems concerned by the council, seeing it as a distant organisation that does not affect our daily life. Favorising the use of the council for group projects with concrete results seems to me like a good way to fix this issue. I believe the research on void and essence is a good example of such a project.

Tick 111: SGame over (not the epilogue)

Malakath observes the mysterious invading force. Although a tangible shadow seems to conceal them, some radiate a strong aura of pawnishness and seem to resist divine influence.

Following Cyrix's announcement to the Sewa not on the farm planet, there is a massive outbreak of festivities, feasting, and dancing. This spreads to many of their neighbors, although some of them seem not to realize the occasion. KI'Tork's later announcement of a month of celebration on the Satisfying Things seems to have only extended this. Neron's later declaration of a Neronmas extends the festivity further, causing the partying to stretch to over four months!

The Light has sealed the Monoliths on Nikjol and has asked if there may be some way to re-open them. Later, the Light has made a donation of 2E to each member of the Meofisp (Quéßäre, Neron, KI'Tork, and Melyssa?). Some recent prayers to The Light include the following:
"Could you shine a light to the nearest Monolith?"
"Please grant the Light of Protection to those in the Merpire, O Light above."
"I made a garden of flowers and colored torches at one of your temples."

KI'Tork has appeared before the Kobolds asking them what they are doing and giving them points. Some answers are as follows:
"Cleaning up the kitchens"
"Making some delicious spiced cheese. Do you want a sample?"
"Helping my parents cook!"
KI'Tork has also increased the amount of fish in Nikjol's oceans.
KI'Tork has also begun preparing gourmet donuts. Some seem to be worried by the fact that KI'Tork mentioned this immediately after having discussed interrogations. KI'Tork searches for Tyrannis addicts and has found a small cell of cannibalistic Tyrannis users outside a fairly large city. KI'Tork has also attempted to send funeral processions into A-S-H cities, but they are curtly rebuffed. The cities seem to be producing insane amounts of wooden weapons and loading them onto rafts.

The Humans as a whole are influential, but to call any single state, kingdom, or empire a global power would be un-fitting. Northern Humans seem to have adapted somewhat. However, a significant fraction of them still seem to be seasonal merchants or pilgrims of Neron.

The first Prophet seems to have had quite a few descendants. They are good Neronites.

Quéßäre has distributed 1E's worth of fireworks. No one in the major cities can quite seem to sleep for a few days with the festive fireworks in the sky.

Alprozem is currently eating what looks like a fancy meal with his family.
Alprozem: [shiny]"We are doing well, I think. Our daughter Ilmytyrazem was recently accepted into the priesthood. Would you like to join us?[/shiny]

In response to Malakath's question, Tykki responds:
"I can neither confirm nor deny your ideas, but think of the last time a mortal gave birth to an angel unassisted by the divine."

The people teaching blood magic to the Flagellants are not secretly spreading Malakathic beliefs. Melyssan Archfiends have recently forced several infidels to watch and listen to an opera titled "O Harpy, my Harpy!" While the juxtaposition of this statement with Malakath's checking suggests that "some of the infidels" included "the people teaching blood magic," this is happily not the case at all.

Darruth has announced a time of renovations.

Malakath has gone on a research rampage in the Library and found the following things:

• Essence and Void Energy: There is mixed opinion on whether Essence is in fact equivalent to Void Energy. Gods who have contacted the Void tend to say it is, and the Void-naïve say it is not.
• Anti-Void Energy: Some experiment logs report Pyrrhic successes with blocking divine influence as well, frequently ending up with untouchable godless zones in the Bubble. Most non-failures seem to be hypothetical thought experiments on how to construct something that is the opposite of Void Energy.
• Struggles against the Void: There is a convenient and disquieting lack of sanely written, useful information on opposing the Void successfully. There is a trend toward Umbrals being considered the most dangerous if provoked perhaps due to their overall lack of experience dealing with gods in Bubbles.

(@@@: Write more YG0 books?)

The Light has traveled to a place known blasphemously as the "First Stone." It appears to be a sunken crater in very deep ocean with a solid temple-shaped temple-sized shadow and rubble everywhere. No cultists or bystanders appear to be around at this time and at this depth.

Ghizher's initial investigation of the Bubble's limit reveals that it may have been formed from spontaneous condensation of some Churn "material." The mechanism of this condensation is still a mystery, but something about it seems oddly familiar.

Melyssa: (T110 prayers)
Melyssa has created a returning javelin named Armyr and given it to the fish-eating one.
Armyr: "I exist only to suffer!"
"It works by hand, yes! They think they grind only wheat, but the stronger group grinds up the weaker one!"
The chair shoots out spikes, slashes blades, and dumps flaming oil. It is utterly predictable and likely induces little surprise (but at least some actual damage) to less divine users.

The sun containing Fusil seems to have disappeared and reappeared.
