I known, but it will be hard, I think so far you are the only good god.

Then there is the Neutrals in the bleachers (me included)

And then a nice share of people actively scheming some sinister stuff.

Good luck I guess

I'm considering making Vulamera good just to balance things, even though my instincts are telling me to go with Lawful Neutral

Haha, the first turn will give us the opportunity to size each other up IC and see how things are going. I think for the first three turns or so we should have some kind of tense acceptance of and co-existence with one another. And when tensions do start rising, it will be reflected in the mortal world for the most part. If things do get to the divine level (which they never have in previous iterations) then...
Well...Amul'Sharar is more of an interventionist than good ol' laissez-faire Invictus xD

It looks pretty bad until you realize that there isn't much of a 'team' of bad guys. They're all going to be fighting each other

And of course, if they go nuts then the neutral ones would probably step in if only to preserve balance or protect their own creations.

Hmmm...So If I did join I guess my domain would probably be Love. But what portfolio would that belong to then?

Discovered this last night since the mention of me in the OP didn't show in my notifications.

...Was wondering why no one else was posting in the other thread.

You mean, what portfolio would belong to Love?

Let's see, compassion, marriage, sex, family(?), to name a few.

I think Love would be a (Portfolio) within the Domain of Emotions

Love seems to small and specific to be a Domain

Perhaps you could have Passion(Love)?

Maybe expand into portfolios like (Anger) or (Jealousy) later on?

Eh, no, I think 'Love' is very different from other 'Emotions'. Being 'Sad' is an emotion, but being 'Depressed' is definitely simply an emotion - it's much deeper than that. So no, Love wouldn't come under Emotions in my opinion. Passion seems closer, but I'd say that passion is more an aspect of love - or more appropriately, lust. Love is not a sexual, physical thing, it's not merely an emotion, it's a bit deeper than that. Ancient Greeks split love into Agape, Phileo, Storge and Eros - and already you can see the width of the concept with simply these four. Then you have Christianity which purports that its entire creed is built on love - what kind of love is that?!! Definitely not going to bed with 'Christianity' or Jesus xDD

So, I'd say, if you're going with love you need to first understand it somewhat (and it's a concept which has befuddled modern science and ancient philosophy alike xDD so I envy you not!)

To cut to the chase: Love is a Domain. A Big, Fat, Domain.

@Kho If I wanted a deity centered around pacts or deals, do you have any suggestions as to what domain that would be under?

Eh, I'm stumped. Pacts, deals and contracts are all basically 'enforceable promises' of some kind - whether legally binding or binding for some other reason. Perhaps Promise as a Domain with 'Contracts' or 'Oaths', 'Pacts', 'Vows' and so on as potential portfolios?

I am also stumped, so I'm thinking of taking up demons and pursuing deals as a divine hobby.

It could be anything to do with Love as an emotion, concept, long-term feeling, philosophy of life etc.
For instance, portfolios can include: (Lust), (Infatuation), (Divine Love), (Romantic Love), (Friendship), (Familial/Unconditional Love), (Loyalty), (Kindness), (Caring), (Sacrifice), (Benevolence) and there's probably a lot more too ^^'
I'd say that when it comes down to it, love is the most powerful force in the universe xPPP be responsible you

Actually that's a good idea, was so stuck in the real world that I forgot about demons - I think Cyclone suggested Evil/Occult/Something else as Domains for Demons, and they do tend to go around making deals with (very unfortunate) mortals, so it comes together pretty neatly
