Andres: Sealing an inactive god just mostly slows down other gods' attempts at removing them analogous to the concept of security through obscurity. Essence monsters are mostly unrelated to sealing. I don't update the Essence count for sealed gods publicly, so for all the non-sealers know, Varee, Artisanii, or Carmine could be at 1/31E right now.

Political discussions on OOC: I'm tempted to issue a rule requiring fanart as a ticket for participating in real-life politics-related discussions here just to decrease the demand for the discussions and increase the supply of entertaining creations. Of course, the most recent one was fairly tame.

Spin-offs: I'm dropping any suggestions for avoiding prefixing (pretitling? supertitling?) with Ye Gods and suggestions in general. Go wild!

However, prospective spin-off GMs should be aware that I still cannot share a bunch of secret information because of the in-game security disaster that would imply and, barring extraordinary circumstances, cannot integrate changes from spin-offs into here.

Biowarfare? Really? Kind of obvious it was Fusil.

What does sealing an inactive god do, exactly? Does it just extend the time until a god becomes an Essence monster?

Plague-related prices are intended for this specific situation because of the aid(s? Bad pun) from various sources
Destroying the disease: 4E
Make Keshan Humans immune to the disease: 4E
Make Keshan Humans immune to current mundane diseases and *Pink Plague: 8E
Andres and Quartz_Mace: Disease immunity by splicing without negative repercussions: NaN.

Prophet unaging: 1E save specific cases (but not yours).

I just realized the High Elves could conceivably be the biggest per capita consumers of Mystic Snow...

It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

I present the Council-passable plan of a system of Ministers to help you all manage yourselves:

Department (probably required for election): Mortals, Void, Research, Safety, Constellations, Destruction, Law Enforcement, Opposition, &c.
Length of term: 2 ticks? 3 ticks? (Your (pl.) choice)
Votes: 3 votes? 2 votes seems too low for a minister for a relevant department
Nomination: Self-nominations allowed? Require secondings or thirdings to even process?
Veto power: Any at all? If so, is it overriden by unanimity/90%/80%/|c.?

This may help speed up with voting on proposals when I'm not available to resolve stuff, but it may be too much or not enough power depending on the options chosen. Thoughts?

Looks interesting. I'll probably try proposing such a system.

Is it possible to use the Essence of an inactive god to complete projects without it having to pass through your body, or passing it at constant rate to complete the project? For example, I have 3 Essence max while Varee has 31. Could I theoretically use Varee's Essence to craft myself a body that's a giant space battleship with a WMG and a humanoid final form (~24E) or do I personally need to have 24 max Essence minimum?

For inactive gods, you would need to have enough capactiy for the project.

Remember, though, that you can do some things bit by bit. For example, first create the ship, then the WMG, then the human form.

Even then it's too expensive. The ship is the size of a moon, the WMG can destroy a gas giant or a dwarf star, and the final form would at least double its power, if not simply increase its power exponentially according to something else (haven't fleshed this idea out yet). Individually, I can't afford any of these components on my own.

A grand tournament is held in the Mountwyrm capital on Keshan, where warriors far and wide can test their skill. Betting is strongly encouraged.
I bet 2 essence that someone will win the competition

Competition get's called off, nobody wins, Azem gains 2 essense and throws brand new tournament.

How much to allow the Shinzo to make viable offspring with any race? That ability has been useful so far.

Since all sufficiently evolved Shinjo can take Human form, are they already able to mate with Humans?

I wonder if the babies can decide to take the form of Humans too. That might be a liitle problem....

It's based on maturity. If they've already evolved/matured enough to be able to take Human form, they'd already be considered adults. Human child Shinjo forms simply don't exist.

EDIT: Oh my god. I have come up with literally the best idea ever.

EDIT2: Thought about it for literally a few seconds and realised just how awful it is.

I have absolutely no clue how humanoid-weapon mating works. It...wasn't in the initial designs. I never saw this coming.
