I kinda like this dude. Everyone else has their city-state, the only place they're really worshipped, but lots of influence there.

He...

Well, he's willing to give people shit.

Anyone.

Anywhere.

The only restriction being they have to agree to worship him and maybe make a sacrifice depending on the degree of the wish.

Yes, everyone else...

Also, waiting for next turn, because I need to see how some stuff turns out before acting.

At least as far as I'm aware, I haven't really run into any conflicts with any of them yet XD

Performs CPR on thread.

Maybe if people aren't going to actually take action, they could at least post in the IC or OOC making that known from this point forward.

Example:

"The great god Insert Trendy Name Here bides their time patiently... waiting to see if all the other gods kill each other... mostly due to lacking an actual plan."

or

"Yo don't bother waiting another month or two for me to submit my turn... Really, I'm not getting around to it. Like never. Not even if I had three months to do it. Maybe not even if I had four."

That actually sounds like a great suggestions.

Caesar, as much as I appreciate the attempts at Laissez-faire player deadlines, I think some form of deadline imposed by you would be a good idea. Not to be a pessimist but I have a feeling this game will die (or go into severe coma at the very least) if there isn't something to push along players to come up with turns. Hell, I'd even be fine with significant leniency where any time someone wants an extension they can just ask for it. At least with that, they'd actually have to come on here and post letting us know what's going on instead of this current perpetual state of uncertain protraction.

[Caesar]

Yes- I think that you're right.

I'll schedule the next update for next weekend. Any pending posts will have to be posted before Saturday (12/04/2014), 10:00 GMT.
Does that sound reasonable?

[gman8181]

Sounds good to me. At least a week should give ample time for people who haven't posted to potentially get around to at least informing us what's going on.

[ragnarok97071]

... that date sounds hilariously lenient until you realize it's DD/MM/YYYY.

Hehe. Indeed!

Also- I've been working on the post. I got some extra projects to work on this week, so I can't finish it yet. I'll have to continue next week when the dust settles.

[gman8181]

Best of luck with everything.

[Caesar]

Got one more exam tomorrow, and then I'll have a period of rest so I can get the post done.

[Xantalos]

Good luck, man!

[Caesar]

Alrighties! I've been working on the turn post, but, unfortunately, I ran face-first into a brick wall, also referred to as a 'writer's block'. I'll have a lot of spare hours tomorrow in which I'm at the university's computer room (or whatever I should call it). Maybe I can concentrate better there.

[Caesar]

Okay! I've broken the wall! Given the fact that several gods have not yet quite acted this turn, this turn will be 'shorter' (in the time sense) and the amounts of essence gained will be decreased or nullified (I'm not sure yet). This does not mean that we'll be low on events, however, as we've entered an era of great turmoil. (Yes. Even greater than before.)

I'm incorporating several somewhat neglected creations too (like Radiant Sarthysin's trees!). I'll have to figure out exactly what happens with them, and, of course, what the entire picture will be, but I've come a long way towards doing that too.

The next turn will, in a sense, be a mini-turn. It will allow the gods who have been reluctant to act (like Radiant Sarthysin) to catch up and get some things done, while the more established gods who already spent their essence (like Ode) will be able to act through their loyal subjects.

I'm not sure how much time I'll need to finish, but I will keep you all up to date on the progress.

To all Godhood fans, players and readers,

no matter how you found enjoyment in spending so much time in a world of fantasy, words and myths with me, you have my thanks. The first Godhood started four years, one week and four days ago, inspired by another failed forum game called 'dieties'. The 'me' who started that game was a bored kid who had been sent to the computer class to do some homework. Thanks to that fateful day, that never-finished forum game with the misspelled name and you, I've become a better writer and a wholly different person.

Especially to all of you who have put up with my irregular posting schedule and my horrible procrastination problems, which, I think, are slowly getting less bad (but replaced with more things that need to get done), I wish to express my gratitude. I'm actually finishing stuff I'm trying to do now, but the first things I actually got done and felt proud about were Godhood posts. They were my first true achievements. I truly enjoy writing with and for you, and if I can, I will continue to do so.

Yours sincerely,

Caesar

Glad to hear that you're enjoying running this as much as I am participating in it.
