[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay (Rebooted)

[Hael]

@Hael I know. It's not really a matter of workload, it's a matter of interest. As an RP progresses it will go through ups and downs, some bits will be more interesting than others and so on. It doesn't help if you're going through a low point in one RP and then you've got two others that are on a high, it kills interest for me.

@Kho

Eh, that's not really the problem with me. I've never cared about or even noticed (I'm oblivious half the time) ups and downs in an RP until someone mentions them. With me it's usually that there's one RP I just joined out of boredom that I didn't like near as much from the off-set, so it's the first to go when I get busy in reality or I'm just not in the mood for writing 3 RP's worth of posts.

[Kho]

@Hael Hehe, to each their own, eh?
In any case! I'm off for an early morning swim ^^

[Kho]

Report on my first attempt at swimming in two years:

Took the bus. Looked uber cool.
Entered the leisure centre. Was uber nice.
Went to the changing room. Didn't have money for a locker. Was uber pragmatic (just dashed my stuff in a locker and left it open B|)
Went for a swim. Was uber unfit B|
Got out. Had jelly legs and a headache - did some super cool meditation.
Waited for my legs and head to fix up. My stomach joined them.
Called it a day.
My stomach did too. In a bin that stunk of banana.
Got home and died on the sofa for a few hours (in an uber cool totally not tired or anything way B|)

[Scarifar]

Swimming sucks.

[Frettzo]

It's actually pretty cool if you pace yourself xD

[Venku]

I love swimming. BTW I will be the last to post in this part because my idea requires it.

[Kho]

I love swimming, it's just been soooo long, and I don't think having cereal and then going for a swim was the best idea I ever had...

Edit: Especially knowing that Kraken will do all in his power to make my contact with water hellish. Low blow Hael xD

@Kho

Well, I would say that Woman of the Waters is looking out for you, but after what Vowzra said in the IC about Undasis...I don't think she'll be stopping Kraken from torturing you.

No swimming for you!

[Kho]

Whatever could you mean? Vowzra stopped just short of declaring his undying love and sympathy for the WotW!

'Then there was the Weeping One, whose tears would be oceans and seas. A suffering one, the subject of a most cruel Fate. Cruel? Was it truly cruel? No, he could not say it was; Fate did not favour or hinder anyone. Fate did not pity anyone, it did not delight in the suffering of others. It did only as was necessary. All suffering is justified, all bliss well-reasoned. Vowzra, despite attempting, could...truly feel pity...sympathy...at her state. It was...her other self...who delighted in being everything she was not. Vowzra wondered if one could delight in causing their own self pain and suffering. Perhaps there were creatures who were such degraded masochists that they did not need an external sadist at all, they had their very own internal one. This one was one to watch, it would be one to befriend...This one would be very useful.'

@Kho

Lies! You've selected only the positive side! The full quote is much worse!

Anyway, what are the rules on creating other planets in this RP? I always sorta assumed we'd be sticking to one planet, but we are gods and could theoretically create more planets, solar systems, ect.
I don't have any intentions on screwing with other planets unless others do, but I would like to know where we all stand on this.

[Scarifar]

Fuck other planets, we only need Earth.

[Hael]

Fuck other planets, we only need Earth.

@Scarifar

I don't want to create others, either. I sorta feel like it would mess up the RP, but I can't think it would be anything but beneficial to hear the GM's thoughts on it.

I find it hard to believe that a God who can raise continents or fill the world with oceans fairly easily (it only takes one might to do either!) could not create a new planet, if they were given enough time and Might

[Kho]

With regards to planets, many barren, lifeless planets are going to come about after our 'big bang', ready to bring to life and populate with our hellish fiends and/or loyal minions and/or dutiful worshippers. I think it would be for the best that we stick to one planet until our creations reach space-faring (if they reach space-faring) technology levels.

As for the actual creation of a new planet from scratch, it is entirely possible. Though it may well be a rather big waste of Might considering there are/will be a nigh on infinite number of planets ready made.

[Frettzo]

Sooo, who's gonna post next, guys? xD

[Lugubrious]

Hopefully one of the people who has yet to touch the orb. Because we need that to be able to move forward.

@Scarifar -- Our Ruggedly Handsome Forgemaster
@Pie Flavor -- Godly Scientist
@ActRaiserTheReturned -- Divine Dragon
@Venku -- Anti-Vestec
@Ethan Starks -- Our Hero

Still waiting on these dudes/dudettes

Our Hero, Ethan Starks, hasn't been online in 3 days, however, so I think it might be safe to just overlook his absence once again.

[Scarifar]

Shut up I'm working on it.

(Definitely not distracted with things more fun than this and not working on it).

@Scarifar

Don't worry, I'm sure it will get much more fun once we can actually start creating worlds and playing God, as no man should.

For now, I think we should just try to get the next posts up ASAP, so that we can get to the real RP before interest fades

[Kho]

Yeah, thought the prologue would've been over in the first two days. Maybe I dragged it out a bit too long with my idealistic 'let's see how our gods feel first' nonsense xD
Soon my dears, soon

Edit: If we've not moved on to the last phase of the creation by GMT+0 12.00 pm on Saturday 6 June (today), I will write a summary post and skip to Turn 2
