English. It's a synonym for arrogance. Which is a synonym for pride.

And ninja'd.

[Scotsmen]

Oh, as long as I'm in it, I'll get to Overgod status eventually

Hubris. Good quality for an Overgod, I guess...

And what exactly is hubris? Sorry, I don't speak [insert language here].

English.

But anyway, have a wiki

Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/, also hybris, from ancient Greek ὕβρις), means extreme pride or self-confidence. Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power. The adjectival form of the noun hubris is "hubristic

Ah... Well, it's all ancient Greek to me. I never did like Language Arts/English class...

I trust you in being able to play one in an interesting way, but we really shouldn't overdo it.

Especially since I've seen plenty of Xantalos's "chaotic" characters turn omnicidal, either from Turn 1 or when he got bored.
And omnicidal is so cliche.

That was pretty much just me not doing serious RP; you'll note that none of those were ever in a godhood game (save Pantheon after Az-Sho died and I was trying to kill the setting).

So, you're never omnicidal except for the times you are.

[Nerjin]

Sounds rather chaotic to me.

Yes. And I'm omnicidal when I'm not doing 'serious' RP. Godhoods and such are serious RP. I even made it a part of Trickster's backstory that he won't do the omnicidal because he already has and finds the idea boring.

That's pretty interesting if you ask me.

Spoiler: Thoughts on Omnicide and Choice and Chaos (click to show/hide)

Would Omnicide be chaotic? The decision to do so would be I'm sure. Certainly COULD be. But the effort and time required for it to happen would require a lot of order. He'd have to commit to a goal. I don't think a god of Chaos can truly commit to anything. Omnicide is more of an order thing it would appear.

But, if one cannot follow through with their goals how does one play a Chaos god? Switching from project to project until all that remains of their domain is a series of entirely unconnected bits? They couldn't be a logical flow, that'd require order. Cow > Milk > Cheese seems a little weird at first but each step requires the previous. Cow > Cracker > Airplane would be more like it but it seems highly unfulfilling to the player.

So... How DOES one play a chaos god legitimately?

I dunno since I'm not really playing a chaos god, but I'd imagine fuelling riots and protests against governments and such would be one way.

Ah, I was misunderstanding your god then. My bad. But wouldn't constantly working FOR chaos be a sort of order? If in every situation you can say "He will work against order of any sort." then that, in itself, would be order yes?

[Xantalos]

Yeah, that's what I was avoiding. I've played a god that was diametrically opposed against creation before and it wasn't all that fun.

[Nerjin]

Yeah, I would assume it wouldn't be.

I'm just saying...claiming that you won't ever go omnicidal while pointing out examples where you have isn't the best strategy.

I'm not claiming I won't ever go omnicidal, but it'd be stupidly unlikely.
Plus there wash that giant stretch of the game where I was merely a giant lava snake. The omnicidal thing came when the game had devolved into a shitfest of meta and yelling.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

GreatWyrmGold, please stop agitating the situation.  I don't want a war before the game starts.
