What more can I say? You are a holy deity, and you have created a universe. You then created other gods, one for every planet, and charged them to watch over them. You have taken up your own planet. You have chosen this one, becuase a rouge god exists here. You cannot directly attack each other, but you can create things to destroy the other god's creations. Currently, it is a barren land, with no life. It is in the correct area to support life and water, though it has none. The other god, who will be reffered to as the RG(Rouge God) has already  begun to show interest, but has made no move yet. What is your's?

This will work by "Divine Miracles" which will require power. You can gain extra power through worship, but you can't force your creations to worship you. The RG also only has so much power, which will also be shown. For a point of reference, one power is about enough to create a strong storm, and two could cause minor terraformation on the world. Life is a special matter: It is complex, and the exact makeup of the creature changes the cost.

So....it's a planet wide game of chess?  Sweet.

Create water, then basic plant life. 

[LordBucket]

Chat up the rogue god. See what he's up to.

Seems silly to create life just for the sake of giving him something to mess with.

Of course, you need intelligent life to get more power. Also, the RG is capable of making his own life.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Create water.
Inside RG.
And everywhere near RG.

   Er... how?  You and the RG are gods... You're ethereal spirits! And even if he did have a physical form, it would just get him wet before he created something to block it.
   Alright, so we seem to have an agreement with water. So, you focus your energy, using three to coat the world in water. You decide to leave some continents so that you have room to make land-based life in. You spend one additional power to create a small, simple plan. You don't have much of an idea for it, so it ends up becoming simply a small sprout sticking out of the ground with a small growth for seed production and a process for collecting light for food. It also has a single tube sticking into the soil for water collection. You originally wanted to tube to suck nutrients to better make its food before realized that there was no nutrients in the soil.
   The RG sees this and created a small animal on land with teeth made for grinding up this plant. It doesn't have sentience, so it can't worship, but it is taking out the plants quite quickly. This creature is named the Korshik.

Please, include the actual plans for your organism and give it a name.

Unamed, simple plant: Water-collecting root, bud for sunlight collection and seeding. Korshik, an herbivorous creature, with teeth designed to eat the unnamed plants.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Create a three-legged, three-eyed reptilian creature with a prehensile tail that hangs over its torso. Its scales are gold, its name is Greapod, and its diet is Kprshik.

Or make the plant poisonous.

[LordBucket]

Ok. But you said that every god gets a planet, and he was here first. And that we specifically chose this one because he was here. Sounds to me like we're the one looking for trouble here, not him.

So again:

Chat up the rogue god, ask him what his plans are.

Let's be god and the devil sipping tea together over a chessboard. Not an angry god insisting that the devil is evil because he opposes us.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'd still like to make a carnivore. Making the plant poisonous is a short-term solution (the Korshik will evolve resistance to poison very fast, but a predator can't be immunized against), and predation also spurs natural selection almost as well as competition.

Sure, we can chat with RG. I'd like to hear what it says.

[borno]

Make the plant eat Korshik.

[flame99]

To clear something up, the you didn't come to this planet to look for trouble, but because the RG became, well, the RG. He was getting plans to take over other worlds. I know I didn't state this in the first post, but that's what I had in mind when I made this. So, you we've decided to talk to the RG, to try and figure out what his plans are. You telepathically connect with the RG, and you hear his voice. "Ah... so you have come. Have you come to your senses and decided to join me in my fight against order? In the great spread of Chaos?" You refuse him, and tell him why you have come. "Ha! You expect ME to tell YOU?! You may have come first, and I may be a creation of you, but I owe you no debt! Soon, very soon, Order will give way. And when it does, nothing, god nor mortal will be safe, not even you, you senile old fool! Power courses through my veins, and you are but a peasant in the way of a king! You shall be squashed, like a fly before a giant!"
   Well... Certaintly not the reception you were hoping for. Seeing as this is a minor event, I won't count it as a full turn, so neither of you spend or gain power, nor does the world change. See previous post for status.

[LordBucket]

In the great spread of Chaos?"

Soon, very soon, Order will give way.

Really?

Sit back, do nothing, and watch what he does. If he makes any living creatures, point out that he's creating order

Obviously his method of operation here is to sabotage our works, just like he did with our plants. So stop feeding him power and positive feedback to his methods by giving him stuff to subvert and destroy. If he does nothing, he harms no one. If he starts creating positive works of his own, then great, he's being a creative god and we've won.

Making stuff for him to destroy is the only way to lose.

Wow... You're really good at making it really hard to be a bad guy!

That's the goal, isn't it?
