And I'm omnicidal when I'm not doing 'serious' RP.

And some other times. You noted one above.

That's pretty interesting if you ask me.

Spoiler: Thoughts on Omnicide and Choice and Chaos (click to show/hide)

Would Omnicide be chaotic? The decision to do so would be I'm sure. Certainly COULD be. But the effort and time required for it to happen would require a lot of order. He'd have to commit to a goal. I don't think a god of Chaos can truly commit to anything. Omnicide is more of an order thing it would appear.

But, if one cannot follow through with their goals how does one play a Chaos god? Switching from project to project until all that remains of their domain is a series of entirely unconnected bits? They couldn't be a logical flow, that'd require order. Cow > Milk > Cheese seems a little weird at first but each step requires the previous. Cow > Cracker > Airplane would be more like it but it seems highly unfulfilling to the player.

So... How DOES one play a chaos god legitimately?

I trust you in being able to play one in an interesting way, but we really shouldn't overdo it.

Especially since I've seen plenty of Xantalos's "chaotic" characters turn omnicidal, either from Turn 1 or when he got bored.
And omnicidal is so cliche.

That was pretty much just me not doing serious RP; you'll note that none of those were ever in a godhood game (save Pantheon after Az-Sho died and I was trying to kill the setting).

So, you're never omnicidal except for the times you are.
