Our avatar should look like a normal old man, maybe hunched over with a cane and long beard. Big bushy eyebrows, the whole deal. We don't need extra flamethrowers because we're a god and can just do the same thing without even needing to move an arm. And talking to a old smiling grandpa would be a hell of a lot less terrifying than trying to talk with a giant 12 armed golem that would make Lovecraft shit his pants.

It could also serve as a nice disguise, if the other gods don't have some means of sensing our soul walking in their territory. A old hermit wandering into town isn't a big deal, until he goes nuclear, and by then it's too late.

As for limiting mobility, presumably we wouldn't even need to go wholesale into him. Just a fraction of our consciousness could reasonably mimic a human, hell computers nowadays can seem to be sentient easy, and we're GOD.

Here's a good question.
WHY?
Seriously, what makes you think that a god would be unable to sense a god hiding in a mortal frame? And what could we gain through such deception?

Respawn, ask for more explosives

[3] NO.[/fpnt]

Keep going north until I run into something... if I that doesn't happen, keep going north forever.

Nothing yet.

open a door. the ones that are in the structure.

Ah. Those open to little empty chambers. They're like those doors in vending machines, kinda.

Use Tavik's corpse to set fire to the beautiful, green field. Torch the place. What survives the purge will be a better, more durable form of life. Also wield sword and holler like a crazed ape normally would if carnage successful.

[4] You set the grass on fire! [1] You also set yourself on fire!

Greet fairy.

"Hi."
_"H...hiy?"

Plan B, dig out underground facility.

[4] You dig to the bedrock, and dig some "rooms" in the soil.

Hack computer to gain control of it.

[2] NICE TRY. MY TURN. [5] A syringe shoots into you, injecting you with silvery stuff. Ow....

Alright, sounds like everyone wants the time cops to be a bit more powerful, so you'll the ruling on the field is that you'll get 7 points to spend between the time machine and future tech. (Theoretically you could spend them all on your time machine, but it might be a good idea to take a radar or some way of tracking the other person's time machine...)

Working on a Timecop.

Why 12 arms?

Because the more arms we have, the more flamethrowers and things we can stick on it.

And the more flamethrowers and things we can stick on it, the more dwarven.

I'm having trouble imagining more than 6, maybe 8 arms fitting on someone. Unless our torso looks like an armtree.

Respawn on the ship. Teleport it to a universe where Hitler was squashed by a time-travelling ship in 1935. Squash Hitler with the ship.

Note to self: Figure out how to steal more of the Overgod's power.

Why would we need to spend mana to mine? The mole's already doing it?

Because it's look quite mediocre at that? Because unless we create dozens more it will have a crawling speed? Because roots should be cheeper then crateing dozens of such creatures ( that's thousands of mana) Because that roots will give us synergy?

Well, as it so happens we have no idea how fast the mole will mine because we have been discussing if we want to throw it away or not without bothering to figure out how well it actually digs!

Another option is to let dwarf mine it because they will mine it way faster than that's mole. Especially with it's aid

We might.

And we can't create a female mole and wait till moles reproduce, that's way too slow ( Mammals are quite bad at fast reproducing, comparing to insects)

Well, here's a point for that: We could always increase fertility like we did with all our critters a while back.

I prefer 50 manarack now, then 100 later

I prefer to see how the mole does before condemning it for poor performance!

Untrue. Do you honestly expect me to be able to find every little nugget of information? I just didn't catch it, is all.

I expect that player who is interested in strategy at least reads the spoiler from time to time

Hey, we're not perfect. Newsflash: Neither are you.

1) I like to see chaos as benevolent too, especially when paired with life. But I also see it as being very creative.

I don't see the idea to burn down a forest to replace it with own as benevolent at all

Agreed. Not sure that's what he's doing, though.

3) How will creating creatures make enemies? If we just let them rampage, yes, but otherwise, no.

You think we can control all animals forever? I doubt it. They will rampage, they will spread over the world. Many gods will dislike that.

You're assuming the game goes on long enough for that. Unless we go on a dragonmaking rampage or something, reproduction will be (as you explained) slow. By the time that dragons or whatever multiply enough to make keeping them an issue, we'll either be dead or ruling the world.

14 ninjas, insane

You know my pain. I often get ninja'd three or four times per post, with at least a few ninjas per ninja'ing.
Needless to say, I was ninja'd.

I can't understand the whole enthusiasm about the mole. It has a size of a horse! It's not enough for large scale mining at any fast pace... We eiher make more or use it in other roles or accept that our mining is very minor

WE DON'T KNOW HOW WELL IT MINES.

And I am quite interested in what this thing eats, because natural diet of moles doesn't fit

Perhaps it feeds on (normal) rock. I'm pretty sure something like that was alluded to.

And bookkeeping will be a hell. GM forgot to put the mole into the spoiler

Maybe, maybe not; we haven't heard back from the GM on that point yet.

Hey you know how the orc god usually possesses someone for battle like a shaman?  How about we build a cool host body for us in the normal word to partake in battles.  I'm thinking probably some type of golem or maybe a unique plant monster of some type that "sleeps" when we aren't controlling it.

That would make us vulnerable to physical attack, and I don't see the benefit.
