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

[Lauder]

So, with the help of my horrid artistic abilities, I went ahead and drew Keriss myself. ;-;

Horrid Art Here

[Double Capybara]

Wait. If I got this straight... L*gion left this RP to join another god RP?

[Frettzo]

@Double Capybara

Seems like so.

[Kho]

@Double Capybara Which one would that be? Not that it matters, ultimately ^^' to each his own. I'm just interested in seeing what other god RPs on the guild are like

So our Death God left us? Huh. I had liked him.

'twas ages ago. You really need to catch up with the IC :x

I should but that requires reading all those summaries and I am lazy... DAMN YOU PEOPLE FOR ENTICING ME TO READ TR FULL POSTS!

@Lauder

See @Kho, summaries suck and nobody wants to go through the effort of reading them all. They're just a bunch of incomprehensible walls of text. Why not remove the Good Samaritan Rule to save time and allow for easier catching-up when people fall behind?

@Double Capybara

I've always enjoyed God and Goddess RP's but I couldn't get past the 'building the world before you start' method. It always felt rushed to me and they never lasted long.

@LokiLeo789

Isn't that how we did it? Or you mean like, gods already being established and having their place before it starts?

I have yet to read that RP, its just that it has been featured by the guild and I noticed two ex-divs there, Leg and Act (who is playing a character from Doctor Strange.)

@Double Capybara

When everything has been established before hand. I considered joining it earlier but I couldn't push my self to creating stuff like that. Just not my thing.

[Lauder]

I have 12 MP, I should do something with that.

[Muttonhawk]

Don't feel rushed. Conata doesn't even know she can use might yet.

[Lauder]

@Muttonhawk

Neither does Keriss ^^

She just knows how to slaughter creations of Vestec

What does she have against Chaos again?

@LokiLeo789

She was born to fight Chaos, her parent told her to wage war and so she will.

@Double Capybara

To be honest, the fact that they had a preconstructed universe immediately put me off, but I read the first OOC page, and I could swear that guy going on about spirits/magic must have seen Astarte.

Then I turned to the IC. I know post length says nothing (as you can all tell from my rambling ones) but as this is a featured advanced RP, I expected post lengths on par with our own at least. Maybe they just need more time to get into it.

But kudos to Blood Act I, three years is certainly nothin to scoff at. I think we have a few veteran casual RPs that are 1+ years old. That fairy tail one and the weird one I mentioned once before.

Edit: ah, yes, Lugu's Heroes of Beacon RP, the weird Myriad Reality RP, and others

[BBeast]

@Dawnscroll, Re: Logos vs Astarte & Vestec, enough firepower should beat anyone. That's Teknall's generic strategy, anyway, but it should work for Logos too. (Whether enough firepower can be achieved is another matter entirely. But you have a 10 Might black-hole sword, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem.)

Magical methods generally intersect the physical world at some point, so they are not entirely intangible to Logos. Logos will definitely be more on the back foot, though.

Also, re: electrons, technically electrons don't spin around the nucleus, at least not in the typical sense. That stylised picture of electron particles orbiting the nucleus has very little semblance with reality. Electrons exist as a fuzzy field of probability density around the nucleus, defined by their wavefunctions, which form spherical standing waves around the nucleus. Furthermore, the electrons in an atom have a non-zero minimum energy, since the wavefunctions which are allowed to exist in that scenario all have finite energy, making it impossible for the electrons to stop 'spinning'.

The closest you could get is to induce electron capture decay, although this will probably be notably less exciting, and is only viable for certain elements. And I'm not sure how much control Logos has over the quantum realm (which was written, at least in part, by Julkofyr. Julkofyr definitely made the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle), and whether he can manipulate the chance outcomes of quantum events such as radioactive decay.

Of course, by the time you've figured out a fancy way to mess with their electrons, you may as well have just vaporised your target directly.

Haven't yet worked out what would destroy the world if Illunabar or Jvan disappear

@Kho

If Ilunabar disappears, she said that her newly made Raka-Galbar barrier would collapse and release the Raka into reality.
If Jvan disappears, she said that the Gap would flood into Galbar.

Also, if Ull'Yang dies, so do all the stars.
And while we aren't entirely sure what will happen is Slough dies for real, precedent tells us that bad things will also happen.

But yes, in general, if a god dies in Divinus, things generally carry on, because the Codex.

Except Vowzra sort of destroyed the Codex. Unless the GodKiller still somehow contains all the Codex features.

Also, an announcement. I have a week and a half left of semester, and four or so assignments of varying magnitude to finish in that time. Posting and reading by me will be sporadic, confined to what little downtime I get.

@BBeast

...impossible...

@BBeast

You said a bad word.

The quantum mechanics detail raises good questions, though. Does it still count as Logos' physics? Things work by different rules at that level. I'm not sure whether it'll ever be pertinent to the RP (perhaps we should make a rule against sub-atomic physics so we don't have to become familiar with how it works), but if Julkofyr has claim over that subdomain, there may be a point where Logos' domain reaches a borderline there.

@BBeast

I always saw the codex as more of a blueprint for the universe rather than the universe made real. I thought that it doesn't really maintain the universe because the universe was basically gut-punched out of the codex by Amul and Fate. The universe just is now. It's existence isn't really dependent on the continued existence of other entities.

Edit: That doesn't mean that the codex couldn't provide insights into the universe that are otherwise ambiguous to gods trying to work them out. It'd be really valuable in that sense. That's kinda not going to happen any more unless the godkiller reverts back for whatever reason.
