Wait how am I in a dualism again?

[10ebbor10]

*Based upon its background, I was thinking it would make good contrast to Raven's meandering and slightly flippant personality, though I might have read that wrong (the name based pun was not intended)

Basically, the GM hopes your character will be a counterpart.

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

To be fair, it's me as well and I'll apologize for that.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Alright, I have decided that I am not making the choice of everyone who is entering right now.  Instead, I will follow this process:
1 ) Decide Overgod
2 ) Start Game
3 ) Run turn
4 ) Bring in Elder Gods based upon what the universe is lacking.
5 ) Run turn
6 ) Bring in Ancients based upon what the universe would attract.
7 ) Run turn
8 ) Bring in Younger Gods based upon how the civilizations developed in response to above.
9 ) Run turn
10) Bring in an Ascendant based upon current situation.
11) Run turn
12) Goto 9.

So at this stage, I am only making the selection of the Overgod, and I'm going to go with The Wandering Light, due to the app giving off what appears to be the idea of being neutral in most matters, leaving the others to have more freedom than what some of the others would do.

Main reason I had only mentioned GWG was due to the appearance that you were more willing to just end the conversation based upon the way I had read the posts.  Though I might have been wrong, I saw the words, 'I'm just saying...', and the 'And some other times' comment as an attempt to prolong the topic that was apparently trying to be dropped.  As I said, I could have been wrong, but the topic needed to be dropped.

[Xantalos]

Maybe, yeah. Anyhow, should we await the IC thread or will the game be hosted here?

[WhitiusOpus]

I guess I'm ok with the classifaction of myself as a Templar, even though that wasn't what I was aiming for. I was generally going after the 'Creates order and growth out of the stagnation of Chaos, and defends longevity' than 'fights for whats Good and Right constantly, always against the forces of evil'.

But it's whatever.

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?

Omnicide doesn't neccessarily have to be planned, you know. But generally, Chaos would never be able to contain itself to a set order. Unless you have a combination of Chaotic Order, where Chaos is the overarching theme, but it uses the order of events to complete it's goals. I was thinking of "Randomness" as the definition of Chaos, but it could just as well be the Chaos from WH40K. But that wouldn't be exactly chaos, would it?

-snip-

I agree with you for the most part, except for the classification of Aeterne as a Younger God, as he wasn't in response to civilization, but a main factor in it's development.

[Xantalos]

If you define chaos as 'does whatever he feels like at the moment' then yeah, Trickster's chaotic.

[Scotsmen]

Ok, gotta prolong this a bit more, since I wasn't in on it . Just wanna point out that Xantalos was a chaotic omnicidal god in Roll to Revive.

[10ebbor10]

Sadly, that's my mean problem with Chaotic God. Often, it's just an excuse to allow people not to care about justification of actions, sensible reasoning, or proper RP. I mean, they get to do whatever they want because Chaos is random, right?

Anyway, enough with the complaining, let's see what comes out of this.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

IC thread here.  Might be awhile depending upon Avis's current status.

[Scotsmen]

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!! Ahem. Nearly lost my manners there.

[Xantalos]

What was that? I don't even remember it.

[Scotsmen]

Well, it started out with you shooting yourself in the face as a "dead green" guy...
Then you became a vampire, who attempted to strangle someone to death.

[Xantalos]

Oh that. I wasn't taking that seriously at all.
I was nega-serious.

[TealNinja]

Oh that. I wasn't taking that seriously at all.
I was nega-serious.

That... might be his/their point.  If you have a history of not being serious, then there's a significant chance that you won't take this seriously.
