I'm planning on allowing people on the waiting list to play as mortals, by the way.
What can I do? Or do I have to be created first?

Well, I'll try to cook up a system for heroes later when we have sentient civilizations.

Let me repeat again: Neutral is not an option you can choose when more than half of the players voted in a petition.

GreatWyrmGold's Petition Roll: Personal Moons

There should be a a moon around the main planet for each god (ie player). Each god's moon is their own territory; no one else is allowed to mess with them.

Agree: 7d6
Disagree: 3d6

Result

Agree: 24
Disagree: 16

This petition is Approved

Remuthra's Petition: Create a solar system

Create a large blue star out in the middle of nowhere. Around the star in a stable, orbit, create a large, barren terrestrial planet, a lifeless, geologically inactive ball of rock. Around the planet, create a moon. The moon is about the size of Mars, and is also a ball of rock and dust. It has no water, but does have an atmosphere with high winds. It has geologic activity, but not much. The atmosphere is hydrogen-helium. When on the starward side of the moon, the temperatures are on average around 300 degrees celsius. When facing away from the star, the temperatures are on average around -100 degrees celsius. A day on the planet is about seven and a half days on Earth, and its year is about an Earth century. A day on the moon is about two earth days, and its orbit takes three Earth years.

Agree: Remuthra, Lenglon, Scapheap, Kansa, kj1225, javierpwn, Eotyrannus, GreatWyrmGold, jaass
Disagree: None
Undecided (Neutral): Skel

GreatWyrmGold's Petition: Create another planet

Create another rocky world. It has an unusually high concentration of carbon and lithium in the rocks.

Agree: GreatWyrmGold, Lenglon, Scapheap, Kansa, Remuthra, kj1225, Eotyrannus
Disagree: javierpwn
Undecided (Disagree): jaass, Skel

Turn ican'tevenkeeptrackanymore: Pregame

With the wills of the deities, God extract ten gigantic chunks from the First Planet. He spun them around, establishing orbit. As the moons cooled down, he placed protections on them, assigning one to each deities. The Moons may be used as that Deity's personal realm, invincible and impregnable to the other deities, while they may allow their followers to enter.

[You can't *control* your moon per se, but you may petition to make it habitable and create a race there or get an alien follower. Then you can use your avatar to order them around. Petitions can still alter stuff, so it is possible for your moon to get destroyed if the others are okay with it.

Also, anybody have an idea on how technological advancement should work? I don't want somebody to create a race and then fast-forward them into technological overlords.]

I move that all petitions for which there is a 6:1 majority against or greater than a 6:1 majority for be automatically resolved.

Reason: These petitions are guarenteed to pass or fail respectively.

Yeah, that was my principle for automatic approval, I just forgot. Anybody think when we get heroes, planets, and more RTD element in, should I make a separate thread for petitions to reduce the clutter?

Turn Pi: Beginning Game

Somewhere, near the First Planet, a great blue giant emerged from the void. It is surrounded by a large, barren planet moving in a stable orbit. It is a lifeless and geologically inactive ball of rock.

Surrounding it is a moon the size of Mars, a planet of ancient time. It is also a ball of rock and dust with no water. Its atmosphere create high winds, and the moon has some slow and weak geological activity. The atmosphere is hydrogen-helium. When facing the Blue Giant, the surface temperature are on average 300 degrees celsius, and when facing away, -100 degrees. A day on the planet is about seven and a half days on Earth, and its year is about an Earth century. A day on the moon is about two earth days, and its orbit takes three Earth years.

The First Planet is pulled into orbit.

Agree, agree, agree, agree to the Gaiaweapons petition!

Three new petitions.
A. All petitions with a 4:1 or greater majority are approved; there's no reason one or two people should be allowed to stop what the rest of us want.
B. Any player may make slight alterations to their moons, such as islands, seas, or species, without making a petition. These alterations may not affect anything off-moon.
C. All petitions may be voted on.

We're only voting on three or four of about a dozen petitions at once. I'm curious why. At the least, I was hoping to provoke a reasonable explanation as to why we were only voting on a few at a time.

I'm saving jaass' petition for a single-vote, since it's a phase-changer. After that we'll start voting on everything else.

Aye



1) the system that allows vast majorities to be overrules in VERY rare cases exists for a reason (adds random chance to the petition system for chaos and fun, allows unpopular ideas to have a chance at happening). if something like that happens and it's really a problem, just re-apply the petition. -will be voting against.

2) requesting modification, vote status depends on it. limit this to being used once (but BIG changes can be made during this), to avoid abuse, but still allow us to landscape the area. if modification made, will agree, if not, will disagree.

3) the reason not all the petitions can be voted on at the same time is to reduce workload on the GM and confusion amoung the players. i strongly disagree on putting forward a petition to vote on all of them at once like that until and unless the GM says he's comfortable with it. - will be voting against



regarding a thread-split:

i suggest making the new thread be for the actual ingame actions of the avatars, and in the OP you copy-paste the results of the petitions that have passed. leave this as the thread for petitions and such, since there is no gameplay content here.

possibly use your OCC/data thread for the actual gameplay, if you want to keep the number of threads in use by your game low.

may i suggest that in the OP of each thread you include links to each other thread? to make navigation easy?



regarding tech advancement:

leave that problem to the deities themselves. remember part of the game play is going to end up being a fight over the balance of power between each other. one deity may arm their faction with laser rifles and jetpacks while another turns their populace into superhumans, while another starts a volcano in the middle of the battlefield, while another etc. etc. etc.

i do suggest a limit on fast-forwarding time though. no more than 1 year between GM posts. is that a reasonable upper limit?
