Looks like Silicoln has been heavily voted for! We shall seed the world with Silicon bacteria.

After much deliberation and internal debate with all the collective intelligence's, they have decided that seeding the barren planet with silicon based life would be the best thing to do.
You stretch out your powers and forces and find a suitable location, in the northern part of the planet which has an abundant resource of silicon, and place the bacteria colony there.

(3) The bacteria take hold in the landscape and slowly start pumping out oxygen, taking in carbon dioxide and the silicon and producing Silicon Dioxide, AKA Sand.

-10,000 Mana

Date: 1 Million Years.

Spoiler: "The Planet" (click to show/hide)

Silicon based bacteria live in the northern hemisphere of the planet. The core is currently active and volcano's have formed on it. The atmosphere is consisting of 70% Carbon Dioxide, 20% Carbon Monoxide and 10% Other gasses.
The planet has a mass around the same as the earth does. It has a stable orbit which lasts 485 earth days around the newly formed star; It causes longer seasons and it is without a tilt. There isn't a sea of any kind.

Spoiler: "Alice the Mother of All (click to show/hide)

The collective minds of all the intelligences call themselves Alice and identify themselves as female.
Mana: 80,000
Previous Actions: Seeded the planet with life.: - 10,000 Mana.

What do you gods do now?

We lack a sea, I'm going to suggest a few for us to debate.

-Mercury
-Bromine
-Magical liquid
-Alcohol
-Water (Obvious)
-Gelatin, this would probably be a living sea.
-A very heavy gas, perhaps argon will get a usage.

I vote for lesser liquid mana (as in diluted form) but what would the pros and cons be for the others?

In order:
-Eh. A bit on the rare side, in the crust area. Not too terrible; I won't oppose it if it's popular, but I certainly won't support it.
-See Mercury.
-No.
-A bit...off. It's an organic chemical, after all; out-of-place in a world of silicon. Moreso than it would be otherwise, I mean. Maybe Si₂H₆O or something.
-Perfectly fine. Common, contains generally-useful elements for life.
-...
-A bit vague. For argon: See bromine.

EDIT FOR GM: Water has my vote.

Pro: Not absurdly expensive. Makes sense.
Con: Not absurd.

[GiglameshDespair]

Water should be fine for the oceans, I would say. I imagine anything else will get rather vigorous objections.

[HissinhWalnuts]

I'm thinking of bromine.

[Icefire2314]

Mercury or Bromine whichever is more popular, preferably Mercury.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'm going to need to look up the chemical causes of mercury poisoning, aren't I?

[HissinhWalnuts]

Who says we cant have two sea types, one deadly one healthy?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Well, depending on biochemistry, mercury might not be deadly.

And that would just be silly. If they evaporate to any significant degree--and, over thousands of square miles and millions of years, they will unless they're near-frozen--the two seas' contents would intermix.

[Sinlessmoon]

Can you guys please bold what you want to happen? Its hard for me to tell what is your definitive choice.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I think we're still working on that.

[Sinlessmoon]

I think we're still working on that.

Ah, apologizes.

[Gamerlord]

I vote dual mercury/bromine seas.
