Yes, the blood pacts that were mainly used by bandits and assassins since nobody else had any reason to use them.

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.

Exit, stage left.

*Hides*

Blood pacts ring a bell?

EDIT: Spherical profiling?
The profiling of spheres.

One of the reasons I removed blood pacts. The bandit/assassin thing wasn't known until after the incidence, in any case.

The profiling of spheres.
Dreadful thing. One of the Virtue Angels - played by the GM, no less - thought it was a habit of my god to drink gallons of blood a day when in reality, she hadn't drunk even a single drop of blood throughout her entire existence.

Contribute 2E towards spiral sun and 2E towards torus world.
Actually, we decided on going for a rodlike cylinder instead of a spiral. Please change to rodlike cylinder, since you're the only one voting for spiral and this will just cause instability in the sun construct.

It would not cause instability. The shape of the sun is determined by first-past-the-post voting. The current instability only exists because of the Power put into it. Also, the sun should stabilise on its own easily enough.

I would prefer a spherical sun. A rod would just be ugly.

Andres, you are assuming again. Power may not be causing instability, if it is simply used to give shape to what is created by essence.

For example: Planet - Essense is used to create a bunch of dirt and rock and whatever else, Power is used to force it all into preffered shape (torus or ball) and to make sure that all pieces are where they should be, the ddistribution is equal (no glowing plutonum fields, aatmosphere of actual air, etc).

I would prefer a spherical sun. A rod would just be ugly.

It could had been a nice artistic spiral but a bunch nerds couldn't handle things that are not simple geometrical shapes.

I based my "assumption" on how the instability wasn't mentioned until after I put in the Power and how the planet - which has more Power absolutely and relative to the rest of its composition compared to the sun - is more unstable.

Then the power will burn out with next tick, meaning that there is little reason to extract it.

The shape of the sun is determined by first-past-the-post voting.
Actually, we're using the approval voting at the moment, as you may have noticed from the several players who voted for more than one form acceptable to them..

Kinda. The "approval" system only refers to whether or not the world rotates if it's a toroid world. A spherical system would be preferred but if it's a toroid world, the world should be able to spin like a mobius strip.

I see someone's having fun with scripts. I personally find them cumbersome, as I don't usually type my posts in WYSIWYG mode.

I like how the Gods who want a day/night cycle aren't actually giving reasons why anyone else should want one, they're just kinda trying to force it into the system, and possibly taking their ball ans going home if they don't actually get what they want.

I also find it hilarious how concerned people are with aesthetics, myself included, when this game doesn't even really have pictures. Because no one can imagine anything looking good if they didn't think of it, apparently. :P

Edit: Also, how exactly does a mobius strip spin? Especially when it's a torus, and thus round?
