[OOC] Gods, Men and Everything in Between

Did Amellia get War or not?

@Schylerwalker

It is not available for consolidating, if that is your question.

@Schylerwalker

She hasn't. So she instead decided to sleep on uncut grass.

[Boop_Im_A_Dragon]

Now that I think about it, only 6 of the 11 gods have even attempted to shape the land. I'd honestly expected everyone except Xanaros do it to some extent

@Boop_Im_A_Dragon

Well is because of the domains and constant bickering for power and some have some backstory related things

@DX3214

I mean, I claimed my domain and molded two large pieces of land :P I don't know anyone other than Xanaros that really has a personality to not attempt to mold something, but I'm not you guys. I'm just making a statement that everything is very empty right now.

[The Nexerus]

Things are already going by at a really fast pace. Is there still time for me to get involved a lot or are things mostly settled?

@The Nexerus

Nothing is settled really other than there being a god of life, death, and destruction now. Everything thing else is still being figured out

[DX3214]

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Xanaros creating the grim like from RWBY to destroy all life but true be told what are the odds

Dealing with molding the earth actually Duhyxbin thinks his powers are more for molding land then giving life So he likes to observe more
And@The Nexerus feel free my man you can hop in

[Willy Vereb]

@TheodorableSo from what I gathered from your responses it's kind of impossible to remove a god from a domain once consolidating their power? Barring their annihilation.
That seems to be a bit unfun for me. I thought at least people get chance to challenge this given a bit of grace period.

Also I might've missed something or isn't enthropy just a debuff which reduces your effective amount of power but unlike spending power this status can be recovered?

@Willy Vereb

In the First Age, this is the case.

@Willy Vereb

I mean, the grace period was a turn. Theo made that pretty clear and even stated how much time was left. It wasn't even that people weren't active or didn't have the chance, people were posting well after this was all made clear, but didn't challenge. Maybe turns should be longer in the future, but I don't feel anyone was cheated out of their chance to take life, death, or destruction domains.

[Theodorable]

In my little Excel spreadsheet there are at least 144 sub-domains. A few of them allot for stealing power.

There will be more uncovered as the game progresses. Just trying not to go crazy since most of the world is still empty.

If a God has a Domain in which you cover, I would suggest finding a way to make them DECEASED.

[DX3214]

144 sub-domains? What The fuck!!

@Boop_Im_A_Dragon

I don't mean cheating people out of chances. I mean the idea that once a domain is taken it's theirs forever. It doesn't feel very interactive for me.

I think you are confused by the fact I use the same phrase as what is used as flavor text in the IC for bids. I am not asking for more time to bet for seats. I am just not liking the idea of seats themselves being permanent.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

In the First Age, this is the case.

@Theodorable

This is a bit unintentionally cryptic response.
Would this be a blanket "yes" to both? Even if that this response is so short I found at least six different interpretations on how to take it. I am sorry if I caught you while you're busy or otherwise not in the mood but more elaboration on this would be appreciated.

EDIT: So my hunch was correct. Domain ownerships are literally for life. I don't really like this relatively one dimensional interaction but that's something I need to adapt for.

[NecroKnight]

Illias possibly lacked enough power to take it depending on how much she had remaining after her actions. I'm interested to see how Necro handles this turn of events.

@Ascendant

Illias will make your life a very annoying thing.

Also I would have bid something.

IF the GM told me, I can do so without AP. I expect I needed AP thus I wanted to wait until Turn 2.

@Willy Vereb

In the First Age, a Domain becomes the embodiment of that God and are not separated. That is because in the First Age, the Gods derive their power from Alnaeus.

This changes in the Second Age. This answer is supposed to be intentionally cryptic and ambiguous because revealing the answer would change how people act in the RP.

If someone has a Domain that you covet, you will be afforded opportunities to take that Domain.

If a God took a Domain you wanted. That’s good, I hope you get angry about it. There will be opportunities to act on that anger in the Second Age. Which begins the second 100% of the map is covered.

@NecroKnight

It seems you don't need a free action to counter bid. You just do it
