I vote for the "oversized" (I don't think it's that bad) system, it allows a lot more freedom than the others and is available earlier than if we are forcing people to create their own. For me this means there will be interesting stuff happening in the early game before technology become meaningful.

Edit: and for names, I don't really care enough to request any change. I'm fine with the names you came up. I'm more interested in how each school work than in how they're called.

Edit2: Putting the list somewhere accessible from the OP might be useful though, I can guarantee I will be completely unable to remember every single of them (in fact I already completely forgot them).

[Andres]

I'd prefer the oversized system to SRD, but I'd like even more the old system or something similar to it.

[micelus]

I'm pretty neutral with the magic system but I'd prefer Icy's names.

[hector13]

I'd prefer using the oversized one, particularly with player-created/modified magicks being involved later on.

I second FArgHalfnr's idea for having an easily accessible list in the OP too.

Literally don't care about the names, I imagine there will come a point at which we refer to some or all the magic schools by slang terms anyways.

[Ama]

Never really did much with magic, however I think the best sounding system is the oversized system.

[Vgray]

Thankfully, the only magic I care about is Necromancy, Lawmancy, and Thaumaturgy.

How much trouble will a god who considers himself the rightful lord and protector of all souls be? 

[FArgHalfnr]

Speaking of lists for the OP, would you guys want me to make a list of everyone's character sheet like I did in litany? Also we're going to need someone for the bestiary. I suppose I could do that as well if no one volunteer but I'd need to know before the game start because it's much easier to do this without having to hunt for stuff all over the thread.

Oh dear, looks like we won't get along well in this game. Unless you're fine with others making all sorts of cruel experiments on souls.

[Kilojoule Proton]

Also, should we get a new OOC thread or just keep this one?

[hector13]

Probably just best to keep this one. Have the history of the game all in one place

[FArgHalfnr]

I'd rather have a new one, it would be less messy. Just to be sure are you going to rewrite the OP if we stick with this one?

[Rolepgeek]

Whoops.

Forgot 16-18 and 11, apparently.

Sorry about that, KJP.

11. How much should players be allowed to interfere with each other's creations at the start?
b. Little

15. What part of the game did you most like?
Getting to see the world develop and grow around the gods, rather than purely because of them.

16. What part of the game did you most dislike?
The hostility and paranoia, and the feeling of powerlessness even when it was the many against the one? The hostility goes for OOC as well; certain individuals managed to infuriate me to an extent few have attained. Not pleasant.

17. What do you like ior dislike most about my writing?

I like that it seems to flow fairly naturally from events, and that you can make it fairly clear when you want to what you're really talking about without actually saying it; it lends flavor and that touch of (sur)realism that makes a god game fun. I think that certain things you go a little far with, mostly the stupidity of mortals(though that's fairly realistic, if I'm being honest...) and...I'm not sure, actually. I thought there was something else I found only slightly irritating, but...

I mean, really though KJP, there's not much to dislike. Your writing's great, I think it's mostly the events being written about that would annoy me.

Oh! I thought of something for
26.
More possibility for clever/roundabout ways to do things, and perhaps a bit less of a power divide. Only a bit, though; I just mean that things like Cim being able to freeze every other god instantly is both terrifying and seems strange for the way the game's power seemed to work. Possibly a bit less explained in terms of mechanics, actually. Watching people munchkin about and scrabble for bits and scraps of Essence was both annoying and immersion rupturing. Players will be players, though, I suppose...

As for the magic system, I would actually kinda prefer something a bit more organic. Magic is magic. Sure, you may be better at one thing than another and specialization would obviously exist(some could be more dangerous, for example, like probably death magic), but artificial categories just seems odd and unnecessary. Something like a trimmed down version of the current oversized one, that expands as more are discovered or need to be differentiated specifically, would be nice.

New OOC would be good, I think, if only for a fresh OP.

[Andres]

Get a new one. The history of this game should be preserved. Putting the new magic system in the OP will necessitate getting red of the old one. Also, a link to this Ye God's IC would be useful in the OP.

[TheBiggerFish]

A new OOC is probably better.
Less clutter.
Link back to this one though.  And to the new IC.
And yeah, I really think enforcing a set of magics at the start of the game is kind of eh.

We'll see, but I imagine messing with his souls without asking would anger him more than anything else.

Wait, forget I ever said anything. Of course, I suspect people will be suspicious of a god of death anyway...

[Stirk]

Never really did much with magic, however I think the best sounding system is the oversized system.

Didn't you have the entire school dedicated to exploiting it?

KJP made a list last time (He is a much more....active/willing/actually doing things GM than Litany's Stirk), you should ask him about it.

I vote new OOC, new game=new OOC for justice. Probably will confuse newcomers less, too.
