Creation: with the mighty lips of DINGIR, blow the timestream into a coherent shape like so much molten glass - it shall be tied to the tube world, in a way. It shall run through it, from past to future - these shall be the two longitudinal directions of the tube world (henceforth to be called the Manifold), pastward and futureward. Confusing yet? Well, brace yourself for the spoiler that provides a detailed explanation of how time will work!

Destruction: about 5 billion kilometers before the First Instance, punch a hole in the Manifold and shove EN headfirst into it, or, if that's too many actions, simply punch a hole in the Manifold in the specified location with EN's head. Hope he gets stuck.

Universe: A Spacial universe much like our own, with a higher frequency of binary stars, black holes, and other extraordinary features
Outspace, which consists of Anchors of all characteristics (See: Platonic Forms)
Yup, that is satisfactory.
I think I'll go with the water planet. This seems like middle difficulty mode. I will keep an eye on the other two planets, in case they become interesting. I don't know yet if I'll actively try to 'seed' them.

Action: Magical: Perun will name the waterworld Merre. On the three telluric planets closest to Merre, every 100 million years, It shall embed blocks of tungsten (as pure as possible, large enough to be visible with a Middle Age (but not Arabic Golden Age) telescope).
These blocks follow simple rules: on each planet, the first group of blocks contains 2 blocks, the second contains 3, the third 5 etc (prime numbers). Every group of blocks is separated from other groups by enough space that it's not possible to see one group of blocks as the sum of other groups.

Edit: So, if that had happenesd to us, we would be able to see the first 46 prime numbers on the surface of Mars and the Moon, but it would have been hidden on Venus.

((Wow, I nearly lost this game. I need to keep better track of my posts n such!))

"Well that's one goal down" Password thought to himself, admiring the utterly incomprehensible puzzles he had made.
"Now to create that which can solve them" At this second thought, Password took a deep breath, and when he blew it out, he blew his thoughts, his hopes of a sentience out into the world he had made, letting this breath reach all the corners and into every nook and cranny, in search of a vessel to carry this power of thought.

FIDeM realized he was overstretching himself, and decided merely to focus on the strange proto-pantheon he had created.
Clearly, it needed a lot of work.
Insert order into the four, they must cease fighting immediately!
Give them more soul, more form.

Password (BFEL)

Spoiler: Actions and Rolls (click to show/hide)

Password realized that his power slipping away from him was actually in line with his goals. What could be more puzzling than chests and doors which could never be solved? But there was still nothing other than Password to do any of the solving. He needed something sentient to run about in his maze. He let his power slip again, running wildly through the maze, attempting to create sentience. It whipped around the maze, tearing open doors and chests. In the doors it could not find a suitable vessel, but a large number of chests became animate, filled with Passwords great breath.

Perun (Fluoman)

Spoiler: Actions and Rolls (click to show/hide)
Perun chose Merre to serve as the future site of Its creations. That decision made, It wanted to leave more objects of wonder in nearby space for Its creations to find. It chose to set up a magical construct whereby tungsten was embedded every 100 million years on to each of the three closest three planets which had the ground to support such a project. However, Its design based off of prime numbers absolutely fell apart. Instead, these blocks appeared in accordance with the Fibonacci sequence, forming a single group which grew over time rather than individual groups which were distinguishable.

DINGIR (Harry Baldman)

Spoiler: Actions and Rolls (click to show/hide)
DINGIR tried to create a new temporal system, which would be linked to the geometry of Manifold. His power flickered before him, not changing anything about the universe around him. In his rage, DINGIR thrust EN into the Manifold, far back in space compared to a point that DINIGIR arbitrarily chose. EN struggled to free himself, but could not do so.

Time continued its usual forward motion.

FIDeM (Powder Minder)

Spoiler: Actions and Rolls (click to show/hide)
FIDeM became quite frustrated with the behavior of his odd satellites. He tried to order them to a greater degree. His nudging only set them in an elliptical orbit about his head as opposed to a circular one. Seems order isn't what these things were made for. In fact, they now seem to actively deny any form of ordering. They accepted a little bit more form, however. They are now all very vocal, and the water is capable of taking on more human forms, currently adopting the shape of a tall woman.

Quote from: A "conversation" between the proto-deities
"Coming through! Give me some space! I don't want to pollute myself with your nasty blood!"
"Well excuse me. It just so happens that I'm incredibly important for life!"
"And you think I'm not!? That blood your pumping, without a body to sustain by the way, wouldn't exist without water like me."
"Why are you so afraid to get blood in you then, if its just water?"
"It's not just water you dump chunk of muscle!"
"Settle down now, I'm sure we can settle this civilly..."
"IT'S FIVE YEARS SINCE CREATION"
...
"Thank you for your valuable input."

Alkroth (WhitiusOpus)

Spoiler: Actions and Rolls (click to show/hide)
Furious at his repeated failures to create suitable planets, he smashed his creations together. The average temperature of the resultant world was low enough that it was now solid rock, except where the plasma had been. The plasma spots did cool, but only enough to become magma seas, red pockmarks on the grey-black surface of the Worlds. Additionally, the speed of the cooling resulted in the cracking of the surface, resulting in fissures which stretched all the way to the inner hollow. Deciding this planet would be habitable, and accordingly summoned a reasonable Sun into existence for it to orbit.

He then attempted to populate this planet. All of his creations quickly starved, finding nothing to eat on the barren planet.

FIDeM looked at his pantheon, increasingly unamused.
"Ahem. It is urgent that you four cease infighting, immediately. You were not created for the purpose of infighting, and infighting is a sufficient betrayal of your purpose of existence to necessitate immediate changes. You were created to form a group, a functioning one, and that you are not."

Oh snap! Well, I guess random blocks of tungsten out of nowhere are enough as a proof of something unnatural happening.

How rich is the environment? Are there nutrients? Is the core of the planet solid, or is it water all the way down? Is there frozen water anywhere?

To support these creatures, and imbue them with a hope of life which he may later crush, Alkroth creates Haflan, a tuberous, thick plant root that grows within the great chasms and fissures formed by the rapid cooling of the planet.

((There is a solid core, each pole has frozen water, and the environment is atomically rich (all the elements you could need), but no organic compounds have arisen yet, except from some methane vents.))

I love that fucking hourglass. That is completely hilarious.

IKR? Best character.

I don't know if a competing deity is the best idea. But those guys above are really nice. Also, micromanagement. Let's go with the elements. Nothing can go wrong with this.

Action:Make the Anchors for the magic system's elements (temperature, time, length, mass, light, substance and electricity) sentient.

Creation: Establish the framework of time as per the previous attempt!
Destruction: Rip off EN's arms and cast them into the void! Do the same with his legs if I have time.

Give LEGeM some more power to make peace and order.
Give Quo... some more ability to analyze a situation.
