[Stirk]

To start, I need followers! And Serac says the easiest way to get followers is to make them, so let's go!
Create 3000 twilight born, and a bell of twilight in each of their cities.

"Unveto! These guys sound inventive and undisruptive. Why veto them?"

(I edited my post. I accidentally made it look like my reason was to prevent him from getting followers.)
"I don't mind him creating the 3000 Twilight Born he has planned, but he's not creating any new cities so I can only assume he's using a presently existing city - cities whose people have not agreed to literally be turned to dust and become undead. I'm vetoing his attempts at creating the bells - not the Twilight Born."

"Seeing as the Twilight-born are able to worship her, they must be sentient. If they are sentient, then the bell tolling is at least partially controlled. They are no more a danger to others than a normal race."

[Vgray]

"Hm. That was the thing I was most curious about. I wonder if our newest members will get along?"

"Ah. I was under the impression the bells tolled automatically. Thank you for clearing that up, though you are a little bit incorrect on sentience and worship. Neither sentients nor non-sentients are capable of worship - only sapients are."

Tick 69: Yellow Springs

Malacath Vandire Sephir Lecta, goddess of Souls and Blood has awakened! She has proceeded to make an announcement to many mortals, of which a few are interested. (The feely stuff is not free.)

Serac has retired from godhood! The Oracle's payments will now be redirected to Atropos, the newly awakened goddess of Death and Dust.

A mysterious explosion has rendered Quéßäre dormant. Neron has rescued Quéßäre from dormancy with a boon of Essence. Quéßäre has retreated to the hidden High Elf capital.

Countless radioactive jelly rolls have appeaered in all the gods' temples. Many nobles everywhere preach incoherent sermons about a most definitely without a doubt completely nonexistent Harbinger of Peace named Zukkilnuylthop.

The ratty priest has gone to the City of Red Stone, slightly calmed. While there, he has begun preaching about the imminent Age of Fire.

There are currently just over a thousand Kobolds. They are fairly faithful and continue working on the Citadel, which still has a long way to go.

(Spork Inventor: ?)

The other angels of Yaos seem to be in the corporeal dimension (but that doesn't really say much). More worryingly, Kyloth and the six remaining Shiny Ones are in Yaos' plane, staring down Malacath.

(The last non-Sappira one should have shown up as revived by now, but I think it was missing from the raw casualties list or something.)

Malacath has created 100 animal spirits to inhabit assorted large animals. She also takes the Yaosian dimension, which seems to have been thoroughly looted of souls.

Atropos has created 3 000 Twilight-born and placed a bell of twilight in each of their settlements.

This update's constellations are the Crown and Ship.

New players are always welcome. Sphere ideas this tick are Boundaries, Generosity, Destruction, and Travel.

[IcyTea31]

"Two new Gods, I see. Feel welcome."

Cim, you are the resident expert of essense scaning and mind control, could you check this for me?

"Yes, I could."
Cim scans how much in control the ex-Angels of Yaos are of themselves.

And I still want to know how Cim got that high in the first place, anyway.

As for Cim and Grauel I suspect they made their own seoerate physical dimensions and have a worshiper base there.[/glow][/color]

"Good guess, but no."

"You clearly lack any sort of fundamental understanding of how the universe works godling. All the afterlife planes are in one council created and owned dimension."

"They definitely aren't. I have emprical proof of this, but not something to reveal at this moment, at least publicly. Contact me if you (pl.) are curious."

[Kilojoule Proton]

The ex-ex-angels of Yaos are in control of themselves.

[Vgray]

Azem chuckles and grins at Fusil.

Azem scours Keshan for the six most powerful and devoted spiritual leaders of Wealth, short of the prophet Alprozem.

[Andres]

(Malakath is spelt with a 'k' not a 'c'.)

Well, no point in trying to get the Yaosian dimension if it has no souls. Malakath creates her own dimension but with only two planes instead of three - the Shadow Realm and the Plane of Eternal Paradise, just like the Yaosian one. (8E I think. Maybe less because of my sphere?)

I find those interested in joining my religion and make the most devoted ones priests.

[Rolepgeek]

Is anyone else getting sick and tired of this jelly roll bullshit?

...it seems to be accelerating.

[Andres]

(Oh no. I think there's been a misunderstanding on my part. I thought the angels guarding the Yaosian dimension would block me from converting it, so I didn't manually cancel the action because I thought it would cancel automatically. Could I get a retcon and simply not convert it to my own dimension? If I can't, then I won't build my own dimension.)

[gman8181]

@Andres: Your god sure seems to know a lot of stuff she probably wouldn't actually know about

Now if Grauel could only answer my question, everything would be just peachy...anyone know where his extra worshippers came from, by the way? He's outstripping Cim by this point.

I've been asleep (busy rl) not ignoring you. Now putting aside that its not really any of your business, I've been leading in worshipers probably since before you ever formed. It's nothing new. I just invest a lot in my followers. There was no singular action that lead to this but many cumulative ones.

Regarding private planes. Yes, I may have one or more personal planes. Again it is not any of your business. No, I have not been stashing massive amounts of followers in any private planes yet. It's currently not even remotely necessary for me to do so. Almost all of my worshipers are located in the two main worlds. Other worshiper populations of mine not in the worlds are likely of similar size to the moon colonies if not smaller.


Atropos. You inherited Serac's possessions? I'll buy the fact teller thing off you for 9 essence assuming it's unique.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Azem: You find a group of powerful merchants who operate a rudimentary Gem Council.

Malakath: You have summoned a lesser retconjurer demon to cancel the earlier conversion. There is a faint shudder in the Bubble.

(So are you trying to create a new dimension or are you trying to convert it or are you trying to make new planes in the dimension or something else? I fear I may end up misinterpreting the action with the editing thing.)

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

The bells will be rung at dawn, midday, dusk, and midnight. Mortals are warned to avoid the settlements at those times. Inns will be built within the cities with soundproof rooms, so travelers can rest overnight without being destroyed.

Ooh, dimensions! I want one too!
Create the Crypt of Eons.

Spoiler: The Crypt of Eons (click to show/hide)

The Crypt of Eons is a Plane filled with the records of everyone who has ever lived in the bubble. Each life is recorded as it happens,  and when they die their remains are sealed in a coffin with their records placed at the coffin's foot.
The reincarnation works in layers, with each life being a level below the last. A statue of the person's soul holding a hourglass counting the length of each life is placed behind their final coffin, and stairs lead below the statue into their past lives below. If something happens and they die with no way to reincarnate (permanent death) then the hourglass stops counting time and the dust within is consumed by an eternal flame. The final coffin is sealed, and that person is gone.

Behind the main Crypt is an enormous hourglass that counts down the end of the world, but it has so many twists and turns that only Atropos can tell what it means. Around the hourglass are the tombs of the gods, and inside each of the god's tombs are the tombs of all their angels.

Atropos. You inherited Serac's possessions? I'll buy the fact teller thing off you for 9 essence assuming it's unique.

The fact teller? You mean the oracle? No thank you, I like it where it is!
(I could give you a discount, but not the entire oracle!
The oracle can tell you anything the GM knows for a small price, and I have no way to know what you ask or get as an answer. Just so everyone knows.)

Now, time to fix up Serac's old things!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Convert the coral crown into a circlet in the shape of a city crumbling into dust. The center has a glowing tower, and many buildings are collapsing away from it. The farther you get from the center, the more destroyed they are. The two eels are returned to Serac.

The shield will no longer turn things into jokes, it will just crumble them into dust. And instead of being a shield, it will become a black gemstone set into the front of my circlet. (On the glowing tower.)

Billy will be turned into a race of diplomatic jellyfish with pearlification powers and the ability to join together into many shapes, and the rest of his powers (The protection and such) are transfered into an angelic dust cloud that rides on my head, inside the circlet.

You are going to burn yourself out at this rate! Here, let me help.
If Atropos falls below 5E, Serac will boost it back up to 5.

[Vgray]

Azem looks into the background of each of the merchants.

[Andres]

(So are you trying to create a new dimension or are you trying to convert it or are you trying to make new planes in the dimension or something else? I fear I may end up misinterpreting the action with the editing thing.)

(I leave Yaos' dimension alone. I create my own dimension like Yaos' one but without the third plane.)
