I just came up with a way to become infinitely powerful and/or beat the Void but unfortunately it's too similar to TTGL so I won't be able to enact it.

Unless it is "Be the GM", then I am sure you didn't.

I suppose I should make a race of beings. Hmm...

Spoiler: Kryptid (click to show/hide)

A race of social insectoids who live in vast underground hives. They stand approximately 1.2 metres tall and have an appearance which is similar to that of ants, but have four legs and far arms, and posses infravision. They have wings, but they are totally incapable of flight, and are covered in bioluminescent markings that are used to indicate position and communicate at range.
They have no spoken language, but instead posses a short range telepathy(about 15 metres), which allows the Hive as a whole to function as a neural network.
Kryptid societies are split into multiple castes, but each individual can change caste depending upon the needs of the Hive. When a Kryptid changes caste, the Kryptid weaves a cocoon around itself, before fusing its carapace to it. The Kryptid then metamorphoses into the target caste.

The Kryptid castes are:
Worker. A basic labourer, who keeps the Hive running. A worker's main jobs are to excavate new tunnels and chambers, and to haul materials, goods and things around. They have below average intelligence. They are not as dextrous as the other castes but are stronger.
Farmer. A farmer who tends to the subterranean crops and livestock, and manages the Hive's food stocks. Farmers from Hives that form at or close to the surface sometimes cultivate plants and livestock found growing above ground. They are of average intelligence.
Soldier. Protectors of the Hive. It is their job to defend their Hive first and themselves second. They are more agile are stronger, posses heightened senses more free will than the other castes.
Crafters. They make the equipment that the other castes use. They are not physically strong, but are dextrous and have above average intelligence.
Tinkers. A subset of crafters who posses more free will to experiment with things. They are usually found only in large, developed hives that can afford to waste the resources. their creations do not always benefit the Hive.
Overseers. They are dedicated Psions who posses enhanced mental abilities which are used to coordinate the Hive and relay messages. They have a surprising amount of free will, which can sometimes become problematic if they split the Hive into multiple opposing factions. Overseer caused civil wars are rare, however, because the soldiers usually step in and kill the responsible overseer before they can cause too much trouble. They have their own internal hierarchy, which is incomprehensible to those not a member of the caste.
Queen. The Big Boss. She normally has near absolute control over the Hive, via the overseers, at least when they are not splitting up the Hive. She posses a large harem of male drones who also act as her personal guard.

Despite the mental communication and general lack of individual free will, The Kryptids have a large portion of time allocated for sleeping and general leisure. They are curious creatures, but are also isolationists. if an non-Kryptid outsider happens across a Hive, the outsider will be greeted and brought inside. The outsider will usually wake up later with the majority of its memory wiped. Occasionally, a trade agreement will be reached, though the outsider will not be able to remember much of anything else about the encounter.

What do all the numbers in the "Gods" tab mean? They're totally going to be something blaringly obvious, but someone has to ask the question.

[Kilojoule Proton]

From examining the changes each tick, I think it goes something like this:

Spoiler: For proper blinding (click to show/hide)

Name: Status Income-Expense/Period? (Servantly power?: Influence?: [Titanic apocalypse counter?])

I'd advise examining the updates and creating a hypothetical model independently to avoid getting contaminated with my YG0 biases.

On another note, I just have 3 more books to finish before I can send them all out, post T111, and concentrate on the YG engine.

Heh, not actually!
It goes like this:

Name: E/MaxE Egained-#ticks (chasm corruption:spire corruption:possible colour corruption) {pantheon}

Also, does setting the forum to no smileys not work? I definitely checked the box, but it still seems like there are smileys in the update...

[Kilojoule Proton]

I think setting the forum to no smileys just sets the user's viewing theme to none as opposed to something like PenguinSmileys or DefaultSmileys. Fortunately, copy-pasting it yields the alt-text instead, which is likely something similar to 8).

Ooh corruption! As far as potential awesome deaths go, this could beat getting a bathtub salesman investigator chewed up by a horrific rat-tub!

[Andres]

Chasm corruption? Spire corruption? Colour corruption? Jeez, and I thought the faction names Umbral, Liminant, and Luminal were strange. This'll be interesting.

That's because an 8 followed by an end parentheses results in a face. To fix this, go to <attachments and other options> underneath what you're writing and select 'Don't use smileys.'

I did that, but the update still has smileys, doesn't it? Or am I crazy?

[Kilojoule Proton]

It's like a personal viewing font where one of them is nothing, one of them is the default, another one is a variant, and other things like that. It doesn't end up affecting others. The per-post options thing seems to be the only immediately visible way to turn their output off.

Someone was spamming the whole forum, including GotG with pornographic and gore images. Don't be affraid though, Toady has already banned him and his posts have been deleted.

I think he means "While I was away from the game for several months".

It died. The game is now dead.
