To those people i can only apologize. Anyway from now on all battles will be done arbitrarily with Gm-Fiat and Handwavium and my own capriciousness. Input from your side about several effects in game events may have are as always welcome, especially ebbors insights have been useful for me. However the game will be from now on run the old way that means its not necessarily fair, but what in hell is fair in life?  ;)
I'm usefull. Yay.

Speaking of which, I hope the eternal fire is cold fire. Or at least cold hot fire. As long as it doesn't transmit it's heat to the surroundings everything should be fine. Otherwise, we might have a small problem.
the planet is freezing.
Two Hells on the planet might as well be a Godsend(pun intended)

The meteorological consequences of that might be very interesting. You'd get a gigantic eternal low pressure environement above the fire, with an eternal storm, and windgales blowing towards it. The cold continent would likely get a less eternal, but still quite strong High pressure environement, which means that it'll have clear skies (barring the ash). No rain, no snow, nothing. Between them you'd likely get terribad storms.

But I can't say more without a map. Maybe I'll try some pseudoweather prediction on that map that was posted earlier.

I never stated that she left the moon, how did she get harmed by the equivalent of nuking him from orbit?

Edit: Also, you likely have no idea how much I enjoyed writing that post XD
Game mechanics taking presedence over strictly following orders, I suppose.

So, everyone alright with forming a Circle of the Gods to prevent future events WITHOUT having one of us as ruler? *eyeroll*

At least, not one that arbitrarily decrees himself such. If it's a mutual decision, that's another matter, though Fate would still leave any that includes a ruling position.

And of course Corvus expected this. It's still Udil, just with bipolar!

Maybe I messed up my wording, but I don't want any direct control over anyone, but merely for everyone to be worshiped in one pantheon for bonus points drawn form such a big religion as worshipped by all mortals. Its more of a council thing, with Udil as head of the council.

Yeah, yeah, keep your paranoia up. I want ot see the results once the mortals on the planet prosper while you live in self-imposed fear in your tower.

Ardas: anything that has any sort of ruling body that stands above the others is close enough to servitude for Fate to say no out of principle. The Unknown doesn't take orders, or even strong suggestions.

You DO realize that I ALREADY helped said mortals?

I granted them Agriculture and Smithing....and I'm returning life to Despair (the fire giants). Also, reviving a visionary who tried to help mortals. And are you forgetting that there are STILL mortals in Ravenas? As much as you like to remind me that Corvus never helped Despair mortals, he did. He's just concentrating on his moon and his people more, because they still mortals and his children, essentially.

It's less paranoia and more "everyone's been a dick to me, so frankly, why should they even ask for my help?".

But the creation of an common union with a leader of state will result in internal power struggles, as well as the union picking on the weaklings in it's own ranks as well as others. (Example: Unilateral world with Americe after the fall of the Soviet Union )

In order to get true peace you'd need to create either a bunch of seperate pantheons which are kept in balance by force (MAD*), or just unify all the gods. Gods in a pantheon fighting against each other works, but a single God fighting himself is a bit stranger. Still possible, of course. Or you could just seperate the power gain from believers anyway.

While we're talking about MAD - I can't believe I'm still the only god with a WMD. Get to it! Fill the skies with Death Star planets!

Say Ghaz, would I be able to disassemble those now useless weapons of mine for the Mighty Acts I made them out of?

Its only a friendly offer and i don't deny any of you your freedoms, but its merely in the context of mortal perception on how the pantheons were set up. I don't think you noticed but those that were in Thaneos' pantheon received more acts than those who were considered antagonists of the pantheon?

Besides, I can't really enforce anything or will not try to. You will be included in one form or another, but your place in the pantheon and reaped worship from it will be dependent on your positioning in it. So Udil-Volondor's direct councilors will get more than allies, who will get more than antagonists. I'm literally sharing my worshipers with you.
