[OOC] Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

[Frettzo]

@WrongEndoftheRainbow, you said you were developing an Order of Knowledge and Magic, right? Well, there's a Magic Goddess who might be recruitable lately!

I've got a lot of creative ideas that I want to put into motion, but it's just very hard to do when I'm locked down in a stone age. There's a lot of storyline potential in advancing into something where we at least have written communication.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

Alefpria has writing, however early in its stages, so it does exist already.

@Frettzo

Wanna collab? I gotta do a collab with Rtron when he gets back on, and I also need to ask Leo for another collab, but hell, im writer. Lazarus is a busy guy.

[Double Capybara]

@WrongEndoftheRainbow Seriously? Is the wheel off limit? Considering Carpentry has been around for a long while I was already considering it a Free Action research. That is surprise.

Hey, Ilunabar is going to work on taxonomy of plants soon, along with Piena and Meimu. Want to get get into it? Maybe make it a collab.

IMO, just because theres a god for something, that does not mean that mortals cannot discover on their own things related to that something, given the right conditions and sufficient knowledge.

Now, I get that demi-gods created for that specific thing would find themselves useless if said thing could be done without them, but we gotta remember that just because someone else tresspassed on our Domain, it doesn't mean that he is better that us at that thing.

Maybe mortals really did discover the wheel or something resembling it, but couldn't really use it effectively because it wasn't influenced(?) by the power of said demigod/god in charge of it in the first place.

[Double Capybara]

I get that since they based their (demi)gods around technology those few people want to be the ones to make wheels and so on, but if their monopoly over that form of technological advancement holds the RP back then it should be broken.

From past conversations I know that we're fairly divided (some would've liked to just breeze into a medieval-LOTR era as we did in the last Divinus, whereas others are really savoring this primitive stage) but I think we all can agree that there needs to be some steady progression. To any that really want to keep RPing in a Stone Age setting, my answer is to make a separate planet in the RP that has a lower technology level. Easy. Then that opens up Galbar to more storyline potential.

So, my stance on the issue: I'm all in favor of getting technology chugging along, and I see no issue with Lazarus, Amartia, or anyone else contributing (albeit in what's probably a smaller way). Trying to seize complete control of technological advancement for Teknall and the demisisters is about as extreme as Zephyrion and his elementals assuming control over the formation of all landforms and me telling everyone else that they can't make these mountains and oceans. There can be some middle ground, folks.

Thoughts @Kho@Rtron?

@Cyclone

Middle Ground, yes, that is the good stuff.

My complaint with Xerxes was that it felt a bit too rushed, especially when it was going to outright be a Nation in a time were only City States are even plausible. Now it's far more okay.

Furthermore, I don't think anyone wants to "stay" in the stone age. It's just that so far, we have been bulding up stuff in small steps. There were different posts about cloth weaving, rope making, rock chipping, and all that sort of thing. It's odd that suddenly, as Agriculture was just invented, we just jumped ahead all the way up to irrigation.

Now, I think stuff like the Wheel should certainly be out. But let's not jump outright into Medieval times just to make the story go "forward".

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

Sure, let me send you a PM. I might not be able to write much for another 4-6 hours, though.

[LokiLeo789]

@WrongEndoftheRainbow, you said you were developing an Order of Knowledge and Magic, right? Well, there's a Magic Goddess who might be recruitable lately!

@Frettzo

Well, thats technically me. The House of Knowledge is for learning and Lazarus' experimenting. The House of Magic is dedicated to the worship and practice of it.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

Is this the collab for the gathering of followers and creation of a Magic? We gots a magic god willing to help.

[WrongEndoftheRainbow]

@Frettzo Can you add Loki to the convo as well?

[Kangutso]

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

Invent leatherworking, to create the first form of actual armor. Then the army of Amestris will actually have more in the way of bodily protection.

I wanted to do it, so I can progress Kyre's expanding into the Armament portfolio, but go ahead with that.

@Kangutso

Hey, want to PM me so we can have a platform to kick off a collab when I get back from Scotland? I'm building a roster at this point to make up for lost time.

[Vec]

@poog the pig

[Rtron]

In regards to all this, it's rather simple. If you think the mortals will have figured something out by now, make a post about it. If people disagree, defend your logic. Also, while you can teach the mortals whatever you please, keep in mind some other gods will be better at it. Reathos taught the Pronobii basoc combat but Kyre taught it to the Hain in a better way. Same thing applies to everything.

Yare yare dazē... :^)

I always mained medic in TF2, before Overwatch came out that is.

Also @Frettzo, if I didn't know you were a real person - that self promotion tab on your signature would make you look like a spam bot

Oh, shit, didn't realize you were asking me. Lazarus would love to get involved with that. Another collab to add to the list.

Not yet. I have some things I want to do with Kyre after the horde/Violence problem is dealt with.

@Kangutso

We will be the strongest army out there! Thats not super magical....

[lif]

I need to put some army statistics up when I get back, marionette cavalry and scheming Vestecian/Vesemerian Boreale Wizards are a guarantee, however. Crystal arms ahoy!

(Translator's note: the moniker of Boreale stems from the Phantasmagorian sky created by Illunabar; which Alefprians refer to as the 'Phantasmic Boreale'. Since the Phantasmagoria doesn't get enough love around here.)
