Anyway, it is me or does it feel like our actions are entirely without consequence. So far, everything that happened has had no effect whatsoever on other gods at all.

That seems to me at least because not many gods have competing populations. I'll be solving that - bringing them into conflict, that is.

Competing populations doesn't matter, at all. I mean, aside from the other people messing with stuff thingy.

...Yeah, pretty much. That's unfortunate.

Ideally, you wouldn't need to solve it.

I'm thinking that is primarily due to no Ascendants messing with everything yet.  Next turn, when Kaos and the Dragon officially enter the game, it will be different.

Oh, I've determined who I am going to have Kaos and the Dragon are going to be.  Kaos is going to be controlled by Scotsman and the Dragon (still needs to be named...) will be Scapheap.

Well, not really. I can squat them with a single act, and they can do no harm to me.

Really, what I'm saying is that one mechanic from the God games is missing. And that is that mortals believing in you add to your power. Without that, everything that happens in the mortal world is completely separate from everything that happens with the gods. We can mess with them, but they can do nothing against us.

I would like it if worship added to your power. I know a game alike to this, probably dead, but someone forced their followers to do sacrifice, and in return he got an extra Act per turn.

Also, I'm looking for an Ascendant. Any volunteers? :D

Almost every other god game has such a mechanic. It's quite essential to have a feedback mechanism, otherwise things are worthless.

Main problem is that, when selecting ascendants, I am putting preference on people who a) haven't been present on the forums often (so they can be more of a part in some small way) or b) admit to having not played this type of game before (so they get the chance).  I know you have been in these games before, so it knocks out you out of the latter, and you are the largest poster on the forums, which knocks you out of the former.

IceFire, your race is primarily the leaders of the two great civilizations or are general members of the third.  There is some anger and the such, yes, but there is no persecution yet.  Though, now that you have said it, it is going to happen this next turn.
