"Fusil. You are a bossy, manipulative, hypocritical, narsistic bastard. And so am I, I admit, but that is beside my point. As the God of Weapons, you are possibly the most destructive of us, and are quite powerful. Properly harnessed, your sphere could change this world for the better, for all of us. Yet you wield it akin to a cudgel. Strike Team Fusil can do little beyond destroying things in their way. You act like you own this world and can do anything you want. That is true, and that is the problem. So much damage can be done with a single careless move. When your first reaction is to attempt destroying any perceived threat, trouble may arise."
"Let me tell every god what exactly happened in our conflict: we argued on my proposal for a code of conduct, particularly whether a god should be responsible for the actions of their creations. Fusil disagreed, saying that his power should be unconstrained. To demonstrate the problem, I moved a pebble on one of the worlds, leading to the founding of the Breaker Knights and much pain. Fusil deemed me responsible, even though I mentioned how hypocritical that is, and sent his angels to slaughter my innocents. To this, I set up a prison and captured Tykki to prevent further harm from being done, but due to GM error spacetime distortion Fusil got to know the exact details of the capture. With a one-sided story, he convinced the other gods to help release Tykki, and moved on to threaten one of my prophets. I took the prophet's place and we negotiated a truce, as it was obvious neither of us wanted a full-scale conflict. The almost-war was very pointless and petty."
"Fusil, you've also antagonized the Void. I do agree that we should keep them away, for this Bubble is ours, not theirs, but your methods for doing so are wrong. Destroying their servants with extreme prejudice wastes a lot of potential. We could learn to understand them, and use this understanding for either war or peace. Have you touched the Void? I have, and noted its danger, but also its mutability; with enough Essence, a new Bubble could be created or it could be safely traversed to anywhere, even other Bubbles. Have you seen the Nulls in their physical forms? I have seen eight, know the names of five and have talked with two of them. Despite their immense, eldritch forms and nigh-unpronounceable names, they are much like us in their morals, working for their own spheres as we do. We should seek further knowledge before lashing out in fear of the unknown."
"Fusil, you also seem to have the mindset of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Might makes Right, while technically not a broken system, seeds too much conflict in its very nature. Anath's code of conduct is a start, but there is still work to be done to reach a stable system for the Council. You seem to generally oppose any proposal that endangers your perceived freedom, even if it would be there so you wouldn't have to do everything yourself in a disorganized way. Sacrifices and compromises also have to be made sometimes. What did I do when my proposal for graded free will was shot down? I shrugged it off and worked with what others could agree on. What did I do when my code of conduct was filibusted to death? I moved on to Anath's proposal.
You threaten other Gods if they don't agree with you or if you suspect them of having done something. Coercion, while sometimes effective, is almost always inferior to persuasion, for a persuaded ally won't defect even if they later gain power to trump yours. And let me tell you, with a bit of persuasion, anyone's power can surpass anyone's if they get the Council on their side."
In short, you really need to change your attitude if you want to collaborate with me in the future. You are simply too volatile and chaotic to trust. This is not a declaration of war.
