[OOC] Oh My Gods!

Answering that question is easier than you think. Have you ever tried moving by pushing yourself? It can't be done. Similarly while I can push other things to exist, I can't push myself to exist.

We're dealing with abstract concept, normally with symbolic ties. Any answer you can give will become an essay later on to cope with the contextual changes.

[rush99999]

Fair enough.

I mean if your god does not exist, then there is no issue.
A non-existent cannot even act upon existence without first in itself existing.
Essentially I treat your god as if they are outside the reality of this roleplay.
Meaning that within the metaworld of the roleplay, the God is to be ignored since within the confines of the roleplay's world...
Such a character does not exist. However outside of that world, the god does exist as a character, since the character does exist, however the deity does not in the terms of the in-game world. That said, to remain in the interpretation of lore, anything your god does is basically meta OOC and contributes nothing to the plot in itself as known to the characters, but rather serves as commentary for the audience.

Shit, this OOC has got more metaphysical premises on existences than an, motherfucking, book club with plato on Friedrich Nietzsche writings.

I believe it is one of your turns :P

We need to have a frank discussion on the mechanics of @rush99999's character.

Since the God doesn't exist, do the actions of an non-existent entity actually manifest?
Or are they treated as nonsensical delusions and ignore them as if they were never there?

If the former, then essentially the character is untouchable since you cannot target that which does not exist and it can conjure anything by moving nothing away, giving it a power that is vastly superior to something such as producing flames (since the god can only produce flames, rather than simply moving nothing away to create flames). If the latter, then the character will have zero interactions with anyone.

So I think the god has to either exist and can be observed by certain people, rather than not existing in itself to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when dealing with the character should it simply wish to troll everyone by conjuring random things while completely not existing.

Uh oh, three days is a bad sign.

[The Grey Dust]

@Lord Zee Currently not my post <_> Waiting for responses.

*washes hands like a Pilate*

[Lord Zee]

No I meant @ScreenAcne hasn't been seen for three days.

[Carbonatter]

Well... that certainly isn't a good sign - I'm not sure about the typical wait time so I didn't want to say anything before anyone else... We can try to prolong our ic posts for a few days till he reappears? I guess?
