I'll vote nay for executing Jebyg. He's pretty fun to have around, all things considered.

If you have a beef with him however (say he ruins your city, or eats your followers, or removes your arms to build a chair), then it should be up to you and whoever you can convince or bribe into helping you to deal with him. After all, no good myths end with "The other gods gangraped the evil into oblivion, and it was never heard from again."

This could be the start of a new trend :P

Unthinking clay robots or sentient Golems?

that was basically what happened to chronos, tiamat, the Rakshasa, and probably a few others.

also, I like golems because a race of jailers seems useful. also, After reading Jonathan strange and mr Norrel, I vote for diAlcatraz being on the far side of the afterlife.

Maybe Inithis should create an afterlife which captures the souls of those who don't worship Powers...

Make a Purgatory/Limbo afterlife!!!!!!

Hm...

Again, looking at everyone's domains:
Alrezar: Wind, Ice. Wings or icy abilities.
Azaroth: War, Fire, Destruction. Attack abilities.
Azem: Earth, Fire, Wealth. If we make golems, start it here.
Cupitas: Lust, Restraint, Pain. Use your imagination.
Draco: Law/Justice, Light, Peace. Spackle, lasers, glowy bits, and an Aura of Peacefulness (augmented by Jim to keep prisoners fine with their situation).
Inithis: Afterlife, Death, Duels. Some sort of soul-capturing ability??
Javier: Death, Disease, Trickery. Maybe zombies? Maybe give them illusion abilities?
Jim: Persuasion, Creation. Maybe a mind-affecting ability to keep them persuaded to not escape?
Usael: Defense, Contracts. Some defensive abilities? Making them follow their contracts better?

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

He's the Devil of Death, not Undeath.

I like the idea of using Golems as a base.

Super-powered flying Golems.

...that makes me think of Tiberius from the You Are A New God game...

And it makes me think of that Golemsmith game, and the calculations I just made about how big we'd need to make a golem that houses a small town.

Anyways.

Golems (made by Azem), with wings (Alrezar), as well as magical abilities including light (me), and Aura of Peacefulness (me, Jim), some defensive abilities (Usael), some sort of Flamey Death Attack (Azaroth), and whatever Javier, Cupitas, and Inithis come up with to add. So...Synod Seraphim?

I just had an amazing idea from misreading a bit of stuff. What if the Divalcatraz IS a golem?

...you want a giant hollow golem, as big as an island, to serve as your magical prison?

The nice thing about being a god, I get to tell the laws of physics to go sit in a corner for 5 minutes whenever it looks at my creations funny.

Oh, and how are we counting abstentions? Do we count them as negs or remove them from the calculations of 2/3 majority or whatever?

Well you could still be within the realm of physics if the golem had very disproportionate legs, as in fucking massive.

Well, you said it had to be a two-thirds majority of the synod to pass something, a person not voting still detracts from such a majority and would be counted as a "nay" unless further specified.

Not really. If the legs were about as big together as the torso, it might be within reason.

Oh yeah, two different threads talking about making massive golems that people live in is a bit confusing.
