Or you can perform an epic miracle which would attract followers en mass
I actually have a plan for a miracle with big practical benefits, but I need about 6-10 times as much mana before I'd even try.
I think I recall someone setting their actions to building a joint temple for you and them, so that might help. Also if you fall asleep, your upkeep is halved, so you'll probably just be asleep for maybe two turns, then wake up for a turn, then fall back asleep for two turns, etc until your income is higher.
I have 34 upkeep and 28 income of worship. Assuming I don't lose any followers from cutting off the healing miracles, that's a -6 for now, meaning I'll go to sleep in four turns if I do nothing. Then, my upkeep would be down to 17;
if no one dropped the worship of the dead god, I'd be at 7 worship, asleep again in two turns.
And that's all if I don't spend a drop of Worship on anything but upkeep.
I guess if your willing to pay me back later, I could also see about opening up more mana generators and giving you half income for each one you invest in (assuming GM lets me do that). My next design probably won't drain life force though, because I don't really feel like dragging in so many sacrifices all the time. Maybe the next one will absorb heat once we dig deep enough into the mines for there to be massive thermal energy.
I'd approve of the geothermal ones.
Laws:
1. Any being, whether a power, a servant to a power, a mortal, or whatever may be condemned by a 2/3 or greater vote of the organization; a condemned being may be absolved by a simple majority vote.
2. A condemned being which has not subsequently been absolved is subject to any punishments agreed on by a majority of the group.
3. Any rules may be changed by a two-thirds majority vote after a suggestion by a member power. The same process may be applied to alter rather than add laws.
4. No being may be prosecuted for punishing said being's own servants for infractions of the being's laws or orders.
5. If any two members of the Synod wish to go to war, and both agree to it, the Synod will not disapprove and may not act as a body to end the war or punish the members. Any collateral damage which harms nonparticipant parties may still be prosecuted.

Proposals:
A. A Resolution to Mitigate the Harm the Beast to the North would Cause
As the death of Delmas indicates, the unknown Beast of the North is a danger to the world and ourselves. Therefore, we the Synod affirm that we should gather an armed army of sorts to investigate this beast, and either slay it before it can destroy us, or if this is possible attempt to befriend it and perhaps use it to better Divalcatraz.
Votes: 3/5
Aye: GreatWyrmGold, Inithis, Javierpwn
