Ah. My bad, I didn't see that when I skimmed over the posts. So, you will the other gods to give a small fraction of there power to you. However, you find your range is actually fairly limited, so you can't go particularly far with this tax. However, you can tax enough gods to get three power per turn, however some have turned to Chaos, reducing this number to two. Congratulations, you've finally set up your first set of income, outside of the slight amount of ambient power you were getting.
For the sake of this forum game, I'm invoking Rule Zero and saying that Chaos is bad, and Order is good. Also, to Lordbucket, I'm going by the Greek idea of an imperfect god. All the gods have limits and personalities. Some are more inclined to be morons (Like the god of Glorn, or at least that's my excuse), while others could be very logical. Some see the greater good in all things, while some think only of themselves.

Go back to original planet. Create flying creature that can reproduce, eats Korshik, and whose waste fertilizes the Tuber.

You come back to your still unnamed planet, and begin using your points to create a new life-form. It's an avian, that feeds off of Korshiks and whose wastes give nutrients to the plant you made much earlier that you named "Tubers". However, you quickly realize that the RG actually had managed to destroy both of these creatures by making the Korshiks have no predators, and make them eat the Tubers faster then they could spread. They later starved because they had no food sources.
In its place the RG has made two plants, an omnivore, two herbivores, a carnivore, and in omnivorous sentient species. They are as follows: A small plant that bristles with thorns containing an acidic poison, sucking newly-made nutrients and water out of the ground. They also have no blooms or leaves like a Tuber had, but instead directly takes in water and nutrients. These are called the Wolsags.
There are plants that ride the winds, almost always levitating above the ground. These plants have long "roots" that dangle from the bottom of the plant. These entangle all that touches them, and then they wrap the roots around their victim. They suck nutrients until it is dead, and then the root drops them. The roots yield a very sticky, glue-like substance when crushed, and the stem can be used in weaving. These are called Holyiks.
There is an omnivorous species that have a set of powerful claws for tearing open flesh and mostly have flat molars for crushing plant matter. They reproduce as a normal animal does, and have a pack mentality and intelligence similar to a wolf. These are called Kanas.
There is an herbivorous creature that makes small burrows to defend itself, and has only four teeth which are two sets of canids that inject a mild acid, similar to a spider's, into plants to make them edible to the creature. They have actually taken on an evolution from there diet that causes the venom to re-arrange the pores on a creatures foot to keep it stuck to the ground, similarly to the Holyik's roots. They are called Neyks.
The sentient creature is a quadrapedal being with acute senses. They are currently primitive, just now learning the secrets of fire. They have only formed small tribes, each with a variation of the RG's religion, who they call Kanakila. These all focus around bloodshed and sacrifice. They often fantasize of the sky, and have begun learning to unstick themselves from Holyiks and climb them. This allows them flight. THey are called Kilas.

Call forth the power of the maelstrom and purge the sentience from the planet.
Wiping out his source of powers/getting his people to forsake him.


Whilst at the same time, create a counter sentient species which dwells in the sky,eating the flying plants

Hmm might be good for sentiments to be omnivorous, they shall rain death from above and scare his from the skies,

If all goes correctly, his people shall fear the skies,and forsake their God for not protecting them

Curse the Kilas with a...virus of sorts, that causes one out of one hundred to develop superhuman physical and psychic abilities, which can only be sustained by having these "Super Kilas" devour members of their own species.

Complicated and potentially disastrous, I know, but I just wanna mess with the RG.

Or we can just go talk to a few of them and convert them to our faith and give them holy gifts like rain and such.

That has actually already been tried without much success, but you are welcome to go ahead if the majority votes for it.

+1 to the supervirus plan.

Also, a few percent of the power of almost every god in existence is only 2? How many gods are there?

From what I could tell, Wyrm, not every god was giving us tax. A lot said screw you, and some turned to the RG.

I have an idea though.

Create Belviks; Burrowing wormlike creatures, around a foot across, that collect nutrients from the soil and roots they eat, but also collapse the floor under Neyks, kill them with their rock hard shell(bashing in the skull and/or chest cavity), then eat the remains.

Create Yamailles; A flying creature with 4 eyes, which feeds on Holyiks safely from above, as well as devouring dead carcasses of animals.

Create Pevinti: Large, very shaggy creature with 4 horns and tusks. very strong, feed on Wolsags, travel in large herds; Holyiks can only get those on the edges, and any Holyiks that do 'attack' are usually eaten from the roots.

Create Sepiriri: Ivy-like plant that spreads over almost everything(albeit slowly), creates energy from the sun, and also creatures near it, and with special tentacles, strangles and kills them for fertilizer.

Create Byons: Sentient omnivorous people; short, thick, tough, greedy, and crafty. Form clans; each has a slight variation on Julierhimme, their worship of us.

Ah.
Once we finish this RG business, we need to get a beurocracy and army set up.
...Say, why are we even bothering this guy? Half of our actions have been to save an ecosystem that he made and was running into the ground.
