On purely hypothetical grounds, would it be possible for the Well of Souls to be modified to direct souls to the Broker instead? If so, how many acts would it take. I repeat: this is purely hypothetical and the Broker will not try to direct all the souls of the world to his gullet.

Purely hypotetical. Yeah, right.

[Caesar]

And another question, out of curiosity;

Out of the several historic figures and tales I wrote so far, which is the most interesting? I am quite fond of writing these legends (like Lilith, or how Ihanet fooled Toslan), and I am curious about which one was the best so far.

Yeah, Lilith's story was the most interesting in the update so far. I t makes me feel bad though because i'm not giving you enough mateiral to work with in my tribe. I need to squeeze my imagination a bit, see what comes out.

A question from me - What affects our success in general? is it purely your whim, the logic of the action in question or the quality of our writing?

I will mercilessly murder anyone who writes terribly. But as long as you do your best, that should not be much of a problem.
That aside- Most of the time I use logic to deduce the results of your actions, and, of course, luck is a factor. Most of the time I simply try to weave the events together into an interesting whole. For instance; the Broker's ritual inspired someone in the ambitious tribe of Toman to abuse yet another person to achieve his aspirations. Since Vénorr seemed useful to him, he included him, and erected a shrine.

He can try. The results, however, I can't tell you. It depends on how he tries to achieve such a feat too.

Dayum, Teneia just do anything without fucking it up. At this rate, I'm just going to rig my acts to fail. Actually, that might be a good idea.

I like Lilith's story. I'm going to add in some detail on Teneia's side of the story. I think despite Lilith being basically a bastard (In medieval terms), Teneia still has this love for her that Lilith returns. But it's far from a conventional mother-daughter relationship and Teneia still hates Lilith's acts, perhaps even fears her a little bit.

[Digital Hellhound]

Toman! Ihanet takes second place, even though he'll probably get more done. Still, it ain't called the Ihaneti tribe, is it? He also loses points for instituting worship of Venórr. They should be mocking him, not worshipping him - they tamed his great beasts and everything. But I'm cool with that. Totally.

What do you mean, other tribes? There are no other tribes? Soon all will bask in glory under the iron heel of the Toman.

(I do like Lilith and her troubles too.)

She's not exactly fucking up. The story can definitely turn out for the better. And even if it doesn't, there's always a certain power in drama and it is not true that there are no good sides to the events.

And rigging your acts to fail won't work on me. ^^
It will only turn out worse.

Now that you say so- Ihaneti sounds even better than Toman. I'll change the name. *Insert evil laughter here.*

Them mocking Vénorr + him liking to push people to their limits = Even worse creatures than Kapaches.

I feel really great after having finished this. And I think that I can finally write again, like I used to love to. It's been a while.

[Fniff]

I know that feeling. It sucks too when you can't write at all, even if you have the time, like writer's block. It doesn't last for longer then a few weeks, but not being able to write cos of time can last for long stretches.

[Shootandrun]

I think it is time for some interaction to begin between us gods. My latest post is a bit short, but I don't think it will be the last for this turn.

[Caesar]

It's of a nice enough length. Quality over quantity. Except for when I write turn posts.
I am curious to the results. Did you read the summary I dumped on the wiki? We should sort that out, I suppose.

I also wonder exactly how the other Gods would treat the prophecy in which Aradan's followers believe.

And I absolutely detest myself for calling the tribe 'Aradon'. You can't imagine how many times I had to correct myself while writing the text or the summary. Aradan, Aradon. Next I'll be calling a person Aradin and before you know it we're talking about Simsa-arabalin!

Which humorously translates from Turkish as something like "the car's Simsa". Whatever that might mean.

Did you know that every time I read the word 'summary' I have to laugh? For the first Godhood, I made a 'summarization' thread because I didn't know the word 'summary'. That word is neat, though. I will have to incorporate it into the English language. Somehow.

[Shootandrun]

But... But... Summarization IS a word. In fact, you even used it correctly, I think.

[Caesar]

Also- Do note that any character labeled as a Historical Figure can not be directly controlled in an act. Their actions and results have to be approved and/or played by me first. (Unless, of course, the action is forced.)

So it is okay to; "Transport Lilith from point A to B by divine influence". (You spend energy to do this.)
It is also okay to; "Give Ihanet an artifact by the name of the Heart of Valor". (You give him something. What he does as a result is his decision.

What isn't alright is to do something like this;
"X talks with Feinor and makes him decide to travel to Y." You can suggest something, or perform an act, but not control their actions directly. And if you write about them, try to keep their character (just like I tried to keep the character of the characters you all created in the turn posts.)

If you are unsure about something, you can always PM me. I am there to keep the game on tracks, after all.

(Sorry for posting so much. And double-posting a lot. I just want to make sure that nobody misses anything.)

But... But... Summarization IS a word. In fact, you even used it correctly, I think.

Oh, my.. So I 'found out' that I previously made a mistake, only to find out that this assumption was a mistake by itself!

Next time I should use the Thesaurus.

Hypothetically speaking (I can't speak for the other god of the dead) I'd be very tempted to inflict some rather intriguing plans upon your people, I mean I'm the god of the afterlife so your people may find their afterlife a confinement to walking the living world dreaming of nothing but nightmares in your tribes lands for such crimes. Perhaps even send a person wielding a certain unnamed sword to terrorize those that worship you for such crimes yet again. But of course we're only speaking hypothetically here.

Mentioning the god of the afterlife, Zantaware;
I hope that you've got a general idea of what you might do within your sphere.

Even if you don't, I've got some jokers. I think that most of you have noticed, by now, that I've got a plot playing as well. A plot that does not have to progress quickly, but I can employ it if necessary.

Yeah I have several ideas already, I just wanna get a few precautionary measures out of the way and maybe get a small worshipper base in the process if I'm lucky.
