Humaan: You did give everyone else superweapons that would cause total destruction, and you told them to attack Spendpointia.  Did you really think full destruction wouldn't be the result?

4maskwolf explicitly gave them the weapons to make them never destroy anything, with that as the goal for his roll.  His plan was poor, but well-intentioned.  You gave others the weapons with explicit intent to have them used for mass destruction.  You wanted a destructive war.

The Association of Benevolent Entities thanks you for your statement, and rejects it.
As a counter to this, I would like to remind you of your original action: to Bring peace and prosperity to everyone on Spendpointia's continent. While this is fine and dandy for you, I will remind that before you depowered me, I had one critical problem: the fact that I would have DIED if this happened. Therefore, it made sense to attempt to continue the war. If you continued your action, and spent the points you did on depowering me instead on that, Spendpointia would still be standing. The only thing I did to destroy Spendpointia was ensure my survival in a risky game which I would have lost if I rolled a 6. You, in trying to weaken me, made it so it could not be saved.

I could have told you what I intended to do. This turn, I was going to remove my need for war, so I could make peace. Soon, with my armor made, I would be able to fight the hordes which threatened peace. But you instead removed my power. So, now what? Do I try to ascend to godhood, and action you would likely stop? Do I try to ascend some other way, and rise in a way I do not seek? Or do I just give up and accept on the futility of the world you created.

There is no peace in this world. The terrors prevent that. There is no freedom in this world. The gods prevent that.

I sought change. And change I shall. I may no longer be the hero I sought to eventually become.

But that doesn't mean I can't change for the better.

There are many wars in many places, Humaan.  You, yourself, claim that total peace is not possible as long as the terrors exist.  Gods constantly clash, and many continents were full of states ready to fight.  One continent growing peaceful and safe would not have stopped you, but you felt that even that little bit of peace had to be stopped.  You gave more groups weapons and told them to attack Spendpointia.

Heck, if you really felt it was necessary, you could have started wars between those other states.  Ones without weapons of mass destruction being thrown around everywhere.

Spin all you want, but your spin will have little effect.
I correct myself.  It has had some effect.

EDIT: I will say, however, that I am not likely to prevent another ascension from you.  I would depower again if you started carrying out mass destruction again.

I'd like to apply to the Association of Benevolent Entities.  Here is my application:

Create a children and puppy orphanage for survivors (both children and puppies) of the attack on Spendpointia.
Accepted.

Applying, I suppose.
While I am troubled by the occasional random assassination, you have a history of protecting reality from those who wish to destroy it.  Accepted.

I edited my action to not kill you, humaan.

And I will now do beneficial actions, not out of paranoia.

Ah well, I shouldn't have ranted, but it happens. I now will proceed to try and help out.

Passive bonus to science. 6 points.
[6+3] You greatly focus your abilities on science. (+3 to science, -1 to everything else)
Ascend to complete and utter godhood. 6 points.
Prevent Coolrune from ever ascending to godhood by smiting him before he can!

1 point.

Now someone just has to revert the states to their pre-Humaan and 4maskwolf arming condition.
[5 vs. 6+3+1] Jack breaks Earths shard in two, with Coolrune being bisected by that. Coolrune: respawn?
Respawn or something.
Respawned.
Meh. Most of them were worthless anyway. But I must save my path for the history. Burn the only worthy fading memories - those beginning with my rise under ancient gods - into minds of EVERY MORTAL BEING. 3+2?
3 points spent. Also, it's a little unclear how many points you're spending. [5+2][5] You write all the fading memories to mortals, and they compulsively share those memories with those who don't already know about them.
place a divine sigil on humaan to ensure that he can never take aggressive action again.
[4] He now needs to spend points to do so.
Make a quick count of approx. how many creatures I have in my army, and a separate count of how many do other work for me.
Appropriate points, +2 points for bonus.
2 points spent. [2+2] About a billion in army, 5 billion not in army.
Throw that feast with the help of my lesser god follower, but do it better. +1
[4+1] It is perfect. Too bad you can't eat the food.
Summon Grand Doomer and make it an loyal part of BlitzDungeoneer army.
3 point to it and 3 for luck.

http://kirby.wikia.com/wiki/Grand_Doomer

[3+3] You summon quite a few. And they keep killing other soldiers.
Welp, that was... not as intended.

Become smite-proof. 3 points.


smite humaan
Also, why? I mean, don't get me wrong, I did mess up Spendpointia, but I never intended full destruction. Besides, it was you who gave the technology to destroy it. I just was attempting to ensure that the world but it would stand a chance. So who's the real monster? (Beyond me).
[1] You now attract divine intervention. (Any divine intervention on the same planet as you will effect you in addition to the intended target.)
Respawn and regain special ability EXTERMINATE. 7 points
[1+4] Respawned, [EXTERMINATE] gained.
With some survivors, found the town of Felidaeton, taking the title of Countess and leading the new town!

2 points.
[6+2] You build Felidaeton at the edge of the shard, and set up extremely aggressive defenses. They won't attack anything inside the city.
Curse those killing my followers into becoming ants, to be stepped upon and crushed.
And that's three members for the Association of Benevolent Entities.
Applying, I suppose.
[5] Curse laid. It also applies to any later mortals that seek to kill your followers.
I'd like to apply to the Association of Benevolent Entities.  Here is my application:

Create a children and puppy orphanage for survivors (both children and puppies) of the attack on Spendpointia.
[1] You crush them.

Respawn, and try to get all the gods to remove Jack from power by telling them all the horrors he has done, and all that he has abused his powers. 4 points.

Right. While everyone else is busy messing things up, play basketball for charity.

It is unhealthy to be so weak while holding so much power... Obtain greater combat bonus for my terrifying psychic might. 2 points

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

Secure my godhood while precisely smiting Coolrune in a way that fixes Earth.

I'm an Overgod.

1 point.

EDIT: Also, my combat bonus is 8 points, not 3.
