I'm just gonna say it makes literally no sense for there to be a decades gap from sapient life creation to wildlife creation. In my head, animals were made simultaneously with everything else. Just didn't feel like going and editing into another post.

[Vgray]

That reminds me, do sphere discounts stack? So two blood gods working together on something blood related get a bigger discount then one blood one not?

[Demonic Spoon]

Kevak, I'm afraid I have to agree with Andres on this one, the technologies (pottery, agriculture and writing) were introduced before you made the wildlife.

The new world, already filled with countless plants and several intelligent species, is now seeded with wildlife courtesy of Nilva. Many of these species seem to be based on wolves. Humans soon use the new pottery weaponry to go hunting, developing a taste for meat and have begun attempting to domesticate animals. Several other races have been developing different relationships with the new wildlife.  (Nilva -4E)

Wildlife came into existence after the other life on the planet

Further, Stirk's entire post regulary used words that indicate it was describing events happening in chronological order from first to last.

Tick 3: A thousand lies

Nilva spends more time examining the nothing. From what they can tell, the difference between the normal Nothing and the new Nothing is Nothing.

The second race is born, spreading over the untouched land on the damaged planet. They are much more separated then the other race, forming multiple tribes in different biomes of several thousand each. (Iliseth -5E)

Far away, in a tree-friendly biome, the area is prepared for the Great Tree. The weather is made perfect, for the time being, as the tree is planted. It grows quickly, though on a mortal scale much time passes. Once their home is created, ten thousand denizens grow from the ground, starting their new lives. Many mortal years later, a grey cloud envelops the newly formed species, helping to speed their growth. ( Teburshe-3E, 4P,6C)

Iliseth makes a long tube with holes on both ends so she can see to the other side. However, the holes are nowhere to be found, and she thus can not actually use it. (Iliseth -2P)

The first non-copreal race is formed, a race of fire spirits that inhabit hearths. They do not seem to have a body as the rest of the races do, existing on a different plane. How they will get along with the tree people is yet to be seen. (Uztot -3E)

Back on the Ant's moon, a quarter undergo a swift transformation, doubling in size and gaining new abilities. These Archons swiftly take over the inside of the moon, subjugating the rest of the population to their will using their pheromones. (Mavnon -6E)

Again, flipping to a completely different area, there is a massive crater where the mantle flows to the surface surrounded by a scorched desert. Finally deciding to use the destruction to his advantage, 10 thousand adorable Maag crawl out of the sand and into their new home (Lithus/Luthus -6E).

A new God joins the mass of Godlings! He was kind enough to introduce himself.

Mavnon decides to spread a story to the mortals, which is almost completely fabricated. Several other Gods immediately called him out on this, explaining to the Mortals their own version. Many mortals seem quite conflicted about this, perhaps his goal all along? In the end, most listen to their creators with few still actually believing Mavnon's story. It is still popular in much of the world(s?) as a work of fiction, with the terms "Janis" and "Aljis" entering the languages to define Godly acts.

((I didn't specify, which appearently means they default to sapient. And I have no problem with that. The sapience.))

((Actually, it defaults to my common sense  . I thought you wanted sapience.))

Iliseth continues her high level of activity, appearing to the Humans to explain her story. Afterwords, she teaches them rudimentary things. Agriculture begins, with the simple cultivation of many edible plants starting. The humans, finding that they have nothing to write on, decide to use the skills their God gave them to make some. They end up etching their words into pottery, often with an artist's drawing nearby. As for the story they are ordered to chronicle, they etch it into a mud-brick temple along with illustrations. She continues to give them orders on who they can worship, though none particularly want to worship any other God for the time being. The other races seem to now have a familiarity with at least the concepts introduced to humans.

Mavnon then creates a series of stones, granting several objects to mortals depending on their wishes in return for biomass. He puts them around the Sapling's giant tree, in random locations. No one seems to find them yet, they simply sit waiting....(Mavnon -8C)

Izgamlo appears before the Humans, claiming to be their creator. They seem to be wary of him, likely due to Iliseth's low opinion of him, but listen out of fear. He then appears before his own creations, giving them orders to rise up against their new oppressors. These are heard almost immediately. A small group of ants calling themselves the "Alpha Ants", who seem to be more intelligent and slightly larger then the others, let loose a coordinated attack on several Archons, tearing them apart completely using their mandibles and releasing ants from their control. They then start leading the ants in the revolution, making swift gains in the colony. Soon, half the moon was under control of the Archons, half under the Alpha's. An Alpha poet made an epic poem describing the battles to inspire his followers, titled "The Ants go marching one by one Hurra. Hurra." Fighting continues as both sides battle for the rest.

A disease ravages the remaining Archons, apparently spreading through ordinary ants but only effecting their leadership. Most of those who where still alive at this point die, with the few survivors isolating themselves from their servants leaving "pheromone letters" for them to follow. The Alpha's take advantage of this situation to take control over the majority of the moon, with only a few strongholds left for the Archons. The Alphas report that they will eradicate their enemies with little issue, and are planning a final invasion to remove the enemies.

Iliseth continues her flight of activity, examining more things. She finds that humans are, in fact, born with souls. Plants do not, save for the sentient ones such as the Sapling race.

Uztot informs his race of his side of the story, while pointing them in the direction of the human tribes. Many find a pleasant fire to live by, whether in the mud brick homes of the humans or on one of the many kilns, obviously preferring Hearths when available.

Mavnon finds a human woman, observing her life. In the end, he decides to grant her a form of immortality so she may further the cause of Conflict, granting several abilities to do so. (Mavnon -2E). As she gets her powers, she puts her hand to her chin and thinks for a second. She then snaps her fingers, walking to a nearby pot dedicated to Iliseth and smashes it against the ground. She takes the sharpest shard and ties cloth to the other end, making a makeshift dagger. After smiling of her work, she finds the human word for "Iliseth" on one of the shards and set it down. Then, using her dagger, she carves words into the ground "threatened to kill me". She then points to this message looking up at the sky, hoping any God will see it while not praying.

Lithus/Luthus creates a massive obelisk with the text of the Gods scrolling up it, so they may know what is happening. The Maag, being quite intelligent and having heard of writing from the Humans, begin reading it immediately. If the Mortals have not discovered how fragmented the Gods are yet, the certainly know now (Lithus/Luthus -1C).

He then spreads plants suited for this race through the desert, to be cultivated by his race. They begin making their own homes out of sandstone bricks, which may or may not involve their bodily fluids. Next, he further clarifies the language used, helping them understand the runes they where still unfamiliar with.

Regardless, Wildlife was intended to have been made at the start of the tick. No rules were stated at any point regarding chronological timestamps.

It doesn't make any mechanical difference to the best of my knowledge so whatevs.

[~Neri]

Well, it technically will be a mechanical issue down the line, puts people in certain timezones at a disadvantage due to their actions always being decades late because they can't post in time.

I think it should be assumed that any action that takes time should be done at the beginning of a tick, excluding when stated otherwise or if it's a reactionary action towards another deity's action.

[Andres]

I personally think it's fine as it is. Doing all that stuff just adds more layers of complexity to the already large complexity of Litany of the Void.

[Dutrius]

Updated the Ironwood trees. The larger trees are now effectively reinforced with rebar.

Update your IC post instead of whatever it was you updated. Or at least link/quote the post you updated.

$$$
Pricecheck on sapient space-whales of 2km in size, that live of solar energy and occassionally drop gems that increase fertility on the places where they drop. They should be black of colouration and should hold six side fins.

The ambition of one of the gods here is to destroy space and basically make it the Warp. Keep that in mind.

You've said this before, and it's false. I don't want to destroy space, I want to twist it into a pretzel. Also, the Warp? I have no plans on making a hell-dimension devoid of logic or sanity, polluted by the negative emotions of trillions which manifest as daemons.

[FArgHalfnr]

If I can still join:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Utther

Sphere: Primary: Destruction, usually the more petty kind, though if you piss him off enough he does go Biblical, Secondary: "That smoldering contempt you have for all life you get when your day hasn't turned out right, you know, like you cut yourself shaving, you miss your bus, it starts raining while you walk home, a dog or a homeless person pooped on your lawn, and your forgot to delete some space from your DVR so your favorite show didn't record. That kinda feeling."

Primary form/associated symbol: An old crotchety man with a heavy wooden cane, any other forms he takes always have a definite human face that is always frowning. Symbol is a frowning face, any comments about "turning that frown upside down" is considered sacrilege and grounds for corporeal punishment.

Description/Background: To say Utther hates everything is a bit of a misconception, he is simply frustrated with all existence. He sees it as noisy and unpleasant, and he just wants it to go away. His followers usually have this same outlook on reality, the ones who don't only act that way to manipulate Utther into giving them stuff ostensibly for furthering the destruction of reality. Any followers who pray to him can expect one of 2 things: The first is if you dont immediately start complaining about things, or if you praise him and ask for blessings and such, he will complain about you bothering him and ignore you. The second is if you immediately start complaining, he will agree with you, and you 2 can enter into a dialogue that consists mostly of complaining about things. Sometimes you can say things like "You know, if someone just walked over there and gave them a good smacking, it'd set them right, eh?" and he'll agree, graciously granting you something to help you achieve said task. He also frequently forgets to take the power back afterwards, but it usually isnt a permanent thing anyway.

Added you to the list. Sounds like an interesting concept, can't wait to see how it will end up.

Edit:

Why is it that I'm the only one that seems to believe you? I don't get it.

[Andres]

Is it possible to use Power to possess a Dwarf/Human/Other and have them make an artifact a la Dwarf Fortress?

[FallacyofUrist]

That's a good idea.

[~Neri]

I agree.
