1000 cultists: get chalk
1000 cultists: get sand
Everyone else: improve PR

Chalk: [5] They grab some fine chalk, and discover a new ritual written on the back of the box! It doesn't seem that useful, but maybe if you need a lot of cheese... (acquired chalk, discovered ritual of summon cheese [req chalk])
Sand: [1] Oh dear, that's a lot of crabs... (25 cultists eaten by crabs)
PR: [5] You and your followers put on an amusing puppet show with some puppets that are definitely not actual people. (PR double up)

(now you know how I feel. I would rejoin, but I was eliminated for inactivity. if you want, you can seize my old faction and give it to banana. after all he was a close friend of speedo, who got lazy and fell asleep.)
((I'd offer to let you rejoin the game, but at this point it would probably be faster to just let this game end and sign up for the next))

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

Justice League: the new frontier? Maybe mixed with a bit of AM for the appearance...

You may have some trouble with -2 appeal since that means you're basically turning people into your inquisitors instead of cultists... And any cultists you somehow obtain will be turned into drooling monsters before getting anything done, including performing the summoning ritual...

Not sure if invincibility should be possible with 2 power, but maybe you can be a bit sturdier... Eh, I'll accept them both for now.

One, both of those are incorrect. Sorry, try again. I even left a quote in there to help you guess.

Two, hence the presence/power reduction early on while unsummoned. It allows them to stay human a bit longer, and at the same time, press the inquisitors to open the portal/find trinkets as well if only to prevent themselves from turning. Also keep in mind that most of his "Cultists" will either be men driven insane by the realization, or inquisitors turned afflicted while navigating it's lair.

If it's neither of those then I probably don't know it, they're the only ones I can think of.

Also, you can't really make your inquisitors do anything, they'd rather fight to the death or turn into monsters than help you, which is why it's harder to drag them into your service than normal people... Just knock off the two power points and we'll say the presence is your power since it only works on things in your chamber room...

Archon: Mind-control the inquisitors.
Necromancers: Resurrect random people/animals.
10 cultists, leader and disaster manager 1: Perform a song-and-dance routine to amuse everyone.
20 cultists, 50 beasts, 10 satyrs, and 1 centaur scout, led by leader and disaster manager 2: Loot stuff from everyone who went to sleep.
"Lumberjack": Go chop some trees.


EDIT: By the way, I'd be perfectly fine if you declared this game a tie and moved onto the next. It seems a little unfair to the next people to hold things up like this, and my general untimeliness hasn't exactly helped.

((Ironically, the game would've ended in about 3 hours if you'd left the actions unposted... well, assuming I actually updated on time this week. I'm not sure if there could be a draw since you haven't been summoned yet, but I'd need DAPARROT's consent to call it.))

Mind control: [5] Due to the small brains of the beasties, they offer no resistance to your influence. (100 beast inquisitors converted)
Resurrect: [5] They work quickly to prepare and raise extra undead. There's still not much they can do between two people. (+8 zombeasts)
Amuse: [4] They do a silly dance and everyone cheers up. (Boredom warded off for [2] turns)
Loot: [4] They drag every unique item the can find in the ruins of other people's bases back. Not much of it left. (acquired Stagnant orb, concrete, rebar)
Chop trees: [2] But Lumberjacks don't chop trees, they hang around in bars while wearing women's clothing!

Inquisitors: be rebellious
[irrelevant] They are too complacent to resist.
