I thought I’d give a game that’s been on my mind a try. Effectively, you will role-play 5 gods, new to this world. Entrusted to each and every one of you is a small tribe. At the moment, they are small. Insignificant on your scale. But you can sense that they are willing to learn, willing to advance their lives and willing to prove themselves to you.
If you think you are up to the challenge, proceed. But before we get into the rules and what not, I'd like to make a few things clear.

-Please do NOT apply if you aren't serious about the game. I really want to see if I will be able to successfully run this, and that's rather difficult with trolls.

-I understand that English may not be a primary language to you, but please, try your hardest to be grammaticly correct in your posts. I'm fine with mistakes, as long as I don't start seeing; Lolz, Ill tots eat him lol.


With that out of the way, Lets begin.

Basics

As stated above, the players in this game will take over the roles of five newly created gods, young of this world. Your goal is to advance the tribes and help them survive. Don't worry about Math or rules, I'll take care of all of that. All I ask of the players is that you role-play each turn out, try your hardest to use proper grammar, spelling and capitalization. I have a fair system for all magic, fighting, divine powers, etc.

Each turn will be based in the time of a season. In this season, you must pick an activity to be done for that season (see list below). If none is picked, I will assume you tell your tribe to spend the season in idle prayer to you.

At the moment, I just need to see that people are interested. Feel free to flesh out your character, but your domains will be randomly picked based upon what your divine inclination is.

Game play will take place on a hex map. Resources, tribes and other things will be represented by different tokens.

Hmm, reminds me of Clash of the Deities. Godhood seems to be a popular theme as of late. I'll keep an eye on this and maybe ask to join the waitlist if it lasts more than a few turns.

Best of luck.

As an Inclination, Growth is a lot the same as Creation. So If you're fine with creation as an Inclination, I need your type of tribe.

Cheers, King. I'm hoping for the best.

In, but could you describe Inclinations in a bit more detail? More examples could be nice.

Inclinations are effectively your god's specialty. In turn, it will drain you less doing these types of miracles. Say you were creation and you wanted to create a giant magic apple tree out of air, You would be drained significantly less than a Magic inclined god. Inclinations are a very open topic, so If you have an Idea, feel free to say so. Though, for example: Magic, Creation, Destruction, Life, Death, etc.

Reserving spot if one is still open.

[edit:]
With the tribes, how does Intellectual compare to Spiritual?

Is Manifest more about temporary manifestations or a more permanent avatar?

Intellectual will construct faster, while spiritual will bring in more worship. You Manifest is a semi-permanent avatar. It is yours to change at your godly will.

Godhood seems to be a popular theme as of late.

Yeah, no kidding. Seems like we get about two new "be a god" games a week, but they don't usually last more than a couple turns. I mean...here's the most recent one that started just yesterday. Here's another one, started eight days ago, and it looks dead already.

Please do NOT apply if you aren't serious about the game.

Don't mean to be a downer here, but...what about you? Are you serious about this? Because honestly I'm getting tired of submitting gods for games that fall apart. There's obviously interest in this kind of thing. That game I linked that started yesterday already has 10 characters and no turns completed.

Please understand...your question works both ways. We've had a huge pile of abandoned games on this very same theme recently. Are you serious about running this?

God games have always been pretty popular around here. They've also always been fairly short-lived, unfortunately.

I just might have to do something about that...Of course, it would have to be after You Are Me is finished.
