GWG, the vote on your moons idea is coming up soon, and I'm not sure how to vote on it. could you please justify why we need to each have a personalized mini-planet? especially since we each have interesting ideas and worlds to build, and splitting them up that thoroughly will make it a royal pain for our avatars to visit each other's territory. if we at least stay on the same planet it should be possible to interact.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Each is our own personal territory, where you don't need to go thorough all this Petition stuff to make something. Also, it let's you try bad ideas without screwing everything else up.

And it doesn't stop you from making stuff elsewhere.

[Remuthra]

I don't want it, but I don't want to use my moon for that, and I don't want a second moon.

[kj1225]

We could all have islands.

[Remuthra]

We could all have islands.

Or mountains. Fits the classic godly mythos.

[kj1225]

But I like beaches...

[Remuthra]

Mountainbeach?

[GreatWyrmGold]

The nice things about moons...

1. Astrology
2. More separate; you can't make zombies on your moon and "accidentally" have them wander into someone else's territory or something.

[Remuthra]

As I said, my main objection is that I don't want a moon around my planet for that. Maybe make rogue planets?

[GreatWyrmGold]

I was imagining the planet as "our" planet, not "Remuthra's" planet.

[Remuthra]

I thought you meant each of us on our own planets, since we don't have a shared one right now.

[Lenglon]

my main objection is isn't that what avatars are for?

that and if given total power over an area, it's easy to project force out of that area into another.

for example: i make my moon into a Death Star! my Death Star fires a planet-destroyer laser at the planet! it's super-effective!

i dont want that.

That's abuse of the rules and a petition to remove that player's right to a moon would pass almost instantly.
And yeah, maybe it needs something to remove loopholes, but we won't get them all and the same applies no matter what we give players direct control over so I don't see the argument.

Petition: make a shared world connected to any personalized domains we may or may not have.

Spoiler: Details (click to show/hide)

make a earth-like habitable planet, orbiting a stable yellow star at a safe distance, populated with large amounts of non-sentient flora and fauna and suchlike appropriate to the terrain throughout the planet. at the top of one of the tallest mountains on the planet, far above the treeline and beyond where wildlife normally travels, there is a ring of upright disks. passing through one of these disks transports whatever came through to the personal domain of one of the deities, where their will is instantly effective, and return trips can be made by passing back through a matching disk on the destination planet. if a deity has multiple domains, their disk will only connect to one of them, but the deity can change which one it connects to at any time. if a deity does not have a domain, or wishes to keep their domain separated, the disk to their domain becomes dormant. active disks have glowing inscriptions on them, initially stating the name of the deity who owns the domain associated with it in all known languages and glowing green, but the deity associated with it can change what it says, including what language(s) it is in as well as the color of the glowing text, at will. inactive/dormant ones appear to simply be unusually durable stone disks.

this petition does not include the creation of deities domains, the disks are there to handle if they come to exist through some other petition

my main objection is isn't that what avatars are for?

What?

the purpose of avatars is to give you a method of affecting the world without going through red tape. you're essentially petitioning to make moon-avatars for everyone. not only that but these moon-avatars are basically all-powerful. that is why I'm slow to accept it. other avatar petitions are far more limited in what they can do.

that, and a planet orbited by 10 moons is going to have some weird tidal effects.

[GreatWyrmGold]

No, the moons are WHERE we can do anything, not WHAT we can do anything to.

And weird tidal effects don't seem like much of a negative consequence.
