"The Divine Library will be orbiting around World A." Artisanii explains. "Now, as for the 3 million, we are to sort them evenly between World A and B, right? I propose that we should all send one essence towards it, and for doing this we can design a specific part of the creature. For example, I send one essence towards it, and I decided to create the brain for it. Serac sends one essence, and decides to work on it's legs."

[Ambidextrous]

Kli spends some of his essence to create 300 giant sapient silver and sky-blue chested hummingbirds, divided equally between the two worlds. He gives them the Trees of Balance as their homes, acting as the trees' guardians and may receive further instruction from him at a later date.

[Kilojoule Proton]

(Kli: -2 Essence)

Flocks of giant silver and sky-blue chested hummingbirds emerge from the Trees of Balance, singing* songs of creation and praises to Kli. They sing of their devotion to maintaining balance before settling down a little and preparing to construct nests high in their respective Trees.

"Now, as for the 3 million, we are to sort them evenly between World A and B, right? I propose that we should all send one essence towards it, and for doing this we can design a specific part of the creature. For example, I send one essence towards it, and I decided to create the brain for it. Serac sends one essence, and decides to work on it's legs."

(It's a bit late for having the council do that. The council released control over the creation of 3 million sapients when the proposal passed. You will now have to decide on the specifics through discussion with the others. The only thing it can enforce is that you (pl.) do actually create at least 3 million sapients and not something like 5 million humanoid statues made of jelly rools with council resources.)

*(Real life hummingbirds do not work that way.)

Tick 05.5: Developing dimensions

The gods have begun to have some preliminary talk of exactly what to create to meet the 3 million sapients quota. Kli creates a multitude of giant silver and blue-chested hummingbirds and tasks them with guarding the Trees of Balance and maintaining balance. Not much actually happens this half-tick (perhaps aside from fixing numerous errors in Tick 05).

These are all subject to addition, removal, and change by you. They can effect changes in the game's core rules (mechanics), administrative laws (voting requirements, seniority privilegs, &c.) or the natural rules (light does not exist, gravity is repulsive, giant animals can fly like birds, &c.).
Administrative:
An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Is it really necessary or significant to make 300 sapients when you have 3 million to work with?

The current mortals are invariably free willed. Should future mortals be given progressively increased free will instead?

+2 from Anath, The Light
0 from Kli

We all know this one will be rather expensive, but its usefulness as far as creative freedom goes is indubitable. Should we create many corporeal realms for most of the gods or pairs of gods?

04.03: Remove proposals stagnant for 3 ticks or double opposed to supported for 1 tick (1-2/13) <0>
+1 Serac
-2 from Cim, Varee

We have a massive problem with stale proposals, and this is one way of solving that problem. Should we cull proposals that likely will never pass anyway and only serve to make the list of proposals bulkier?

03.11.1: Define deity actions not requiring council approval and create the code of conduct (1-1/13)
+1 from Cim
-1 from Varee

Currently, we do not have a rigorous definition of what requires council approval and what does not. Should we draft a specification of exactly what requires approval? This can potentially weaken or strengthen the council depending on your input for the hypothetical code.

Please remember to bold or underline support or opposition.

"My my, Serac, you refilled your Essence mighty quickly. Perhaps the race you created filled the world with bubbles? I have trouble believing that. Would you mind telling us why you are the only one back to full power?"

Look like my ant cant worship me...... Well i purpose we teach the mortal how to gamble.

[Detoxicated]

The Light shall create a landmark made up of gigantic diamonds that reflect light, be it moon or sun, kilometers apart, in many different colours. It should be surrounded by a gigantic lake. Call this Landmark the Multiprism of Divine Light.

On a different note my friends, I propose we should create the climate  on our two worlds, one very balanced. The other extremely harsh (very hot, very cold).

"I am fully against this. We have no reason to do so, we have no reason not to make the world perfect. Perfect climates are no more difficult then extreme ones, not on a scale that would be worth it in any way.

And are we simply going to ignore Serac's higher essence count? Something must be behind it."

(The Light: -4 Essence)

The Light creates a ring of enormous diamonds that reflect and refract sunlight and moonlight in interesting patterns surrounded by a freshwater sea. Should any mortals encounter it, it is likely they will quickly interpret the shifting patterns and colors as revealing the future whether they actually do this or not.

[IcyTea31]

"No ideas for the three million sapients? I shall define my touch on them, then. I say we all do that and leave it to the Manager of the Void to put together. If there will be any conflicts, we will vote on them. Perhaps we could define some more ground rules for occasions such as this in the future."

Spoiler: My plans for them (click to show/hide)

• Simple bipedal form with one pair of arms
• Full sentience and sapience, with instincts for such things as self-preservation, eating and procreation
• Basic technologies, such as writing and agriculture given immediately
• Existence and the power of the gods immediately revealed
• No inherent draw to chaotic actions, or any other divine alignment

"Serac suddenly gaining Essence is suspicious indeed. Care to explain?"

[Detoxicated]

I agree with the first three plans for the humanoids, but oppose the last two

[MedicInDisquise]

I agree with the first three plans for the humanoids, but oppose the last two

"I agree with him." Artisanii speaks. "We should allow them to have freedom, for what is a story with no conflict? A play with no Drama? Simply giving them the information of us and the inability to be evil or cunning.. is simply wrong for us to do. If at the least the last two are fullfilled, sapience is meaningless." He quickly turns around, looking at Serac. "While I incline to trust you, suddenly full Essence? What have you done? Or is it the lizard men in the deep oceans?"

[gman8181]

I agree with the first three plans for the humanoids, but oppose the last two

I feel the same.

And are we simply going to ignore Serac's higher essence count? Something must be behind it." [/color]

I just assumed he got it from those voices he was talking to.

[DreamerGhost]

I agree with the first three plans for the humanoids, but oppose the last two

Agreed.
