Distribution of rare elements: The article on
siderophiles explains it quite nicely for those interested in the details. It explains why gold, platinum, palladium, and a number of other metals typically perceived to be precious are relatively enriched in the core compared to the crust.
Parasites and genestealers: These parasites seem to be more direct than genestealers, which if I remember correctly, alternated through three or four-generational stages.
PEQ and combat ability standardization: Interestingly, the sample values provided would put Kyloth at ∞ as well...
"Lies:" I cannot help but point out that Stirk typed in "Lied" instead of "Lies."
Quartz_Mace and Rolepgeek: The details of your occupation crisis were kept in PMs under the assumption that neither of you would want to risk leaking critical information to attentive watchers. Would you rather have them exposed on IC?
An excellent starting point, but it seems not to be quite harsh enough. I suggest these additions to nudge it closer to probable accuracy:
ChronicBackstabbingDisorder (and how!), DeusExMachina, GodOfEvil (YMMV), GodsNeedPrayerBadly, JackassGenie, KillerGameMaster, LiteralGenie, OmnicidalManiac
Also, the Literature namespace seems to have an interesting title to read, so that's a nice bonus.
Rolepgeek (uniqueness): It's probably a lack of motivation of the terrifying kind. Different players also have different preferred methods of accomplishing their goals, some of which are less expensive and special because of their more limited scope.
$$$
Teleport all the parasites "away" (into the sun/in magma under the earth/in deep space/etc.): 3-4E
Kill all parasites: 3-4E (slightly different)
Kyloth's hammer removes Void influence: 10E
100 dragon angels as described: ~70E (the fire is interpreted as being much better than normal angel fire, which would otherwise be a 0E built-in) (flight is included in the 4E template) (the default form being that of a dragon makes it marginally more expensive but may be worth it)
100 winged dragon servants (race; mortal; no angel template): 4-5E
Propagation/number costs are going to be a bit unstable over the next few days as I attempt to rebalance it such that it remains fairly consistent with the old system for common values but such that the difference between making thousands and millions is smaller than the difference between making trillions and quadrillions. Angel costs are closer to linear than logarithmic.
