They're humanocentrist. I on the other hand meddle with all species equally. Eventually.

Actually, I'm gonna change the location of the Ritualstones.

[Andres]

Hey micelus, why is Mavnon focusing on Humans so much as opposed to the other races?

Because humans are more aesthetically pleasing than ant people? Idunno?

What are you two talking about? She's already messed with my perfect [citation needed] utopian [citation needed] ant society by turning a quarter of them into mind controllers.

Mind control negates worship, in case you didn't know.

EDIT:

Actually, I'm gonna change the location of the Ritualstones.

"Change the location of the Ritualstones"? When and where exactly did you make these things?

[micelus]

Up in the Heavens beyond the earshot of mortals, Mavnon rushed at Iliseth with a giant smile that seems uncanny on a goddess of Conflict.

"See? Conflict drives action and action drives progress!"

With a triumphant feeling, Mavnon rushed back down to the Torus to watch Humanity closely. As the centuries passed, Mavnon noticed how Iliseth made her people dedicate their society to worship of her and the rest of the gods. She found their beliefs of Izgamlo and himself amusing, and just as she had desired. After a few decades of thinking, Mavnon began her plan in earnest.

Please stop spreading your lies to my creation, mavnon. I see no problem with having you fill the head of your followers with nonsense, but that doesn't mean I will let you do the same to my species. These kinds of beliefs only leads to dogmas, one of the things I despite the most in existence. However I must admit I found your categorization of gods as selfish and selfless based on their contribution quite funny. I will let my species believe in this portion at least.

"Then act and tell them to do otherwise; they'll believe me if you do not."


Create 15 Ritualstones and scatter them around areas inhabited by saplings. Child-sized conical sculptures, the Ritualstones convert nearby biomass into wealth, knowledge or spears (which are invented by the Ritualstones since humans don't have that technology yet). What constitutes 'wealth' depends on what the applicant currently considers wealth. Knowledge is sourced from any written text on the Torus Worlds. Everyone who offers biomass to the Ritualstone is also signing a Pact with Mavnon.

I edited it in.

So? He's still turning a quarter of my ants into mind controllers.

Personally I'm against that. Slight mindset alterations are fine. Mind foreplay if you will. But full on mindfucking and control is just an ew.

Correction: quarter of ant drones.

[Vgray]

Why not queens? Unless you secretly feel sorry for the breeding fodder.

Mmm, for some reason I translated that as workers from the "drone" meaning "drudge" (a person made to do hard, menial, or dull work.), and since the majority of ants would be workers, it's still effectively a quarter of them, but checking up on it, that's actually the fertile males.

While I'm still not happy, it's more reasonable than what I initially thought.

[Vgray]

And just think, only the affected drones will be able to give you essense income.

[Demonic Spoon]

Micelus seems more interested in increasing his influence via fostering conflict, and thus gain essence from that than from gaining essence from worshipers.

1E 2C (ants)

So the dietary restriction and weakness to cold didn't shave off any essence cost? Earlier you said the dietary restriction would shave off around 1 essence, but two weaknesses didn't reduce the price at all.

[Vgray]

That's actually less reasonable you know. If it was a quarter of the majority, then you'd still get a quarter once the Archons are done mindcontrolling everything. This way, less than a quarter of the ants are capable of worshipping you.

*shrugs* hopefully mind control has a high pricetag.

[Andres]

Going to my grandmas. Put me on safe stasis please but do my actions please.

[~Neri]

Good luck!

[Dutrius]

Wow, I missed a lot. Stupid time zones and you doing everything when I'm asleep.
