80.02.4: As above but for 4 ticks (2-0/14) [IMMINENT PASS]
Support+2 from Malakath, Cim
0 from 13 others
80.03: Destroy all Void things save texts (1-0/14) <?> [IMMINENT PASS]
Oppose For the same reason as last time it was proposed with only slightly different wording. 
80.04: Weight price contributions to proposals as follows: S/A/O 2/1/0 (1-1/14)
Oppose Only supporters should have to pay. Most proposals are ones I couldn't care less about and I have no intention to pay if I forget to oppose.80.05.2: Proposals require seconding by two other gods to pass (4-2/14) [IMMINENT PASS]
Support The council should be a means for groups to work together. Not for single gods to sneak in things no one wants.80.05.3: Proposals require seconding by three other gods to pass (2-0/14)
Abstain I don't care as long as it's at least two others.80.05.1: Proposals require seconding by one other god to pass (3-2/14) [IMMINENT PASS]
Oppose Definitely more than one other god.80.06: Resolve proposals at tick n+3 at the earliest (2-0/14) [IMMINENT PASS]
Abstain I don't care but it seems redundant if at least two other gods are necessary to pass something.
(This format is superb. I can see what you're supporting, opposing, or abstaining on without having to keep another tab open to see what those proposal numbers mean.)
80.05.3: Proposals require seconding by three other gods to pass (2-0/14) [IMMINENT PASS] Oppose
80.06: Resolve proposals at tick n+3 at the earliest (2-0/14) [IMMINENT PASS] Oppose
80.03: Destroy all Void things save texts (1-0/14) <?> [IMMINENT PASS] Abstain. One part of this proposal is that all gods must contribute to destroying the Void stuff if the proposal passes regardless of if they supported or not. I don't know if this has been considered as part of the proposal and I don't want to die from cleaning up after everyone else's mess.
80.03: Destroy all Void things save texts (1-0/14) <?> [IMMINENT PASS] Oppose For the same reason as last time it was proposed with only slightly different wording.
"It isn't slightly different wording. Passing this proposal means that we get to keep all available information on the Void but any monuments and temples that serve nothing but to strengthen the Void are destroyed. I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want that."Propose that the strength of a proposal is directly linked to the ratio of supporters vs opposers and the amount of essence invested by supporters. I dislike that a proposal that barely passes should be as effective as a proposal with strong support and I also want the people who propose and support things to really be invested in the proposals. Proposals should not just be a method of sneaking in what you want in a way that affects everyone or an easy manner of spending less essence. It should be a way for gods with ideas they really believe in to try and garner support from everyone to improve things and the effectiveness of this should be directly linked to how much they and others are willing to invest and support the idea.
Oppose.
"Recent proposals should curb the "sneaking in" of proposals well enough. Having this proposal would only serve to further weaken the gods. With the Council, even a small group of gods can effectively fight against the Void in some respect. Without it, even their powers combined can be easily vetoed. If other gods don't want these proposals to pass, then they have merely to oppose them. (This argument relies on some of the anti-exploit proposals being passed.) At some point, it's not other gods "sneaking in" proposals, it's just you (you in general) being lazy."I tell all sapients about Soul Items and to seek a Malakathian priest for advice on how best to connect with their Item.
I send one of my angel priests to Muma to facilitate glorious revolution, one angel priest to each Dwarven and Night Elf capital on both worlds, one to each Raksha capital, one to to each Star Dragon capital(they live close to Night Elves, right?), and one to each Merperson capital. I create four more angel priests and send them to the Human and Wood Elf capitals. I created the Nature Spirits so maybe the Wood Elves will like me more? They're both into the protection of nature, after all, and I designed the Nature Spirits to be not-assholes.
Butterfly effect:
A struggling author is hit with inspiration. He will write some short stories about a small but cunning boy and his big and endearing friend who go on many adventures throughout the land helping people and thwarting bad guys. He will then go to a Gem Dragon to have it published and the Gem Dragon will agree so long as a few things are edited such as spelling and punctuation errors. The author enthusiastically agrees and goes home.
A month later, he buys one of the newly-released books and takes it home to read. He is distraught to find that most of his work has been butchered. There's still a small child with a big friend but the small child is a little girl in a funny hat with a huge Napoleon complex who gets very irritable all the time. Her modus operandi is to tell her unfortunately obese friend beat anything or anyone that bothers her with a stick. They still go on adventures but any help they give to people on the way is entirely accidental.
A few weeks later and we see the author has developed an alcohol problem and is chronically depressed. In the end, he's poor, he's written almost nothing worthwhile to his name, and the one thing he took pride in was mutated into something completely unrecognisable. In the end, he thinks it's just best to end it all and hope the next life holds something better. As he's about to hang himself, he hears the door knock. "Wouldn't want to be rude, I suppose," he thinks as he climbs down and opens the door. At his doorstep is a well-dressed man and what looks to be a bodyguard next to him. The well-dressed man holds a bag in each hand. "What's this?" asks the author. "Royalties from your book, sir." The author takes the bags and bids them farewell and closes the door. Once sitting on the stool he was about to kick away, he opens the bags to see what's inside.
Years later, we see him in a big house with a nice-looking spouse and even a butler. As it turns out, the book was a massive success. Children love it because they find the characters hilarious and even adults like it for its obvious parody of Fusil and Tykki, though there is some debate over whether it's a parody or an adaptation. His consecutive books have also been big successes and he's found himself enough money to retire and live comfortably for the rest of his life. "Life can't get any better than this."
(I'd like the above to be free because of the butterfly effect but I'm willing to spend Essence on it if I have to.)
I start energy-blasting the Spooky City.
"Anyone interested in helping?"Propose that I gain the official Council title of
Arbiter of Magic. Basically, while gods are free to define and argue about how magic works as much as they want, it'll be my job to mediate these and standardise them and I will ultimately have final say over these things. It will also be my job to classify and categorise new magic systems (what attunements they fall under, for example) to make them easier for gods and mortals (and the GM) to understand and work with. (This is going off of the GM's earlier request for gods to start making themselves chairmen of certain stuff like security and skyfeatures.)
