Nations and Deities

[Raineh Daze]

Their job does, surprisingly, decide their job.

Well reasoned! My point still stands, though.

[VitaVitaAR]

... Pretty sure they're deities of completely different things...

... Anyway, um, might be taking Amazons maybe.

[Raineh Daze]

Not really. Unless you're claiming that someone cannot be a patron of the arts because there's a god of artists--and at the same time, you're making assumptions about what 'Forgotten Stuff' entails (it's generally not people. Or at least, not living people)

Or that a personality trait prevents the existence of a god whose sphere of influence actually is that thing.

Actually, I think you're facing the wrong direction here. You seem to be a bit mistaken regarding what "the lost" entails, particularly in thinking that I'm somehow overlapping with your territory.

... Then if it's not there was no problem to start with? It looked like you were saying there was but if there's not I'd like to move on and try and figure out what to do if I do go with Amazons and all...

[Tatsua Aiisen]

I don't really think there is a problem, I was just mentioning the potential closeness between my goddess and one of the ideas Raineh mentioned.

Amazons sound cool, looking forward to seeing what you might have in store.

How "established" will we be at the start of the game? Will we need to build our nations from scratch? Is the world itself practically newborn?

I thought you were saying that because you thought there was a problem. ^^;

[Tatsua Aiisen]

No hard feelings~!

I got an idea for a god of opposites that created two races that were constantly fighting in the past.

[The Nexerus]

The Nexerus said Would this be more free-form or statistics based?

Although at this point I would suspect more free-form.

[VitaVitaAR]

Oh yeah, um, I'd really rather not see a stat-based thing for this. ^^;

You've been ruling over the lesser beings for hundreds of years. We will all know each other, or at least know of each other as well, so there will be a point after the OOC thread gets started in which we will discuss allies and treaties and wars and such, to flesh out the history of the world together.

The Nexerus said

Free-form, yeah. Apologies for not adding that sooner.

Also, I know it's tempting to claim a race in the interest-check, but:

1) You frankly don't know enough about the world yet.

And 2) Claiming a race or idea for your God will be pointless, because this will not be first come, first served. If somebody makes a CS for a God that's similar to yours, but better, or more well put together, I'll be picking theirs. Just keep that in mind.

EDIT: Beginning the OOC now.

[Raineh Daze]

So... who gets to play what is determined not by who first showed interest, but by who can scrape something together as soon as possible after the OOC is put up, despite potentially not even being on at the time? ... why?

[TheSovereignGrave]

And why can't people have similar Gods? It's not like they'd be exactly the same.

That is not at all what he said.

Whether you posted either here or in the OOC first is irrelevant. It is the quality of your God's CS that he will be judging, not what time you happened to be online.

I lost a not when reading that.

Though now it's a subjective 'whether I like this or not' thing...

I am no good at playing 'read the GM's mind'. Hm.

[TheSovereignGrave]

But say person A creates a sheet that is good and is accepted. But then two days later person B creates another sheet for a similar God and Lucian thinks it's better than person A's. What happens? Does person A have to throw out all their work and two days worth of discussing history with the others is completely gone because person B had a better sheet? Possibly screwing up other people's Gods/nations if they came up with a shared history between the two.

I didn't read his mind, I read his post.
