I'm thinking of joining this tomorrow. What should I know that isn't on the first page?
This game is on permanent hiatus. The game this one was based on got a sequel with the coming of the original creator's return. You can find it here. Ye Gods 2 is like this one, except the time between Ticks is days rather than months.

Oh, I thought it was still ongoing. I guess that proves God games don't live long.

This one lasted for months. Ye Gods 1 Lasted for somewhere close to half a year. Each of these games have hundreds of pages in them. These god games most certainly last long.

One reason for the hiatus is that the 'official' sequel to Ye Gods came out. (link)

It was, then the guy who made the game this is based off of came back and I didn't see much point in continuing this one~. It will start again probably maybe one day, but will time skip to modern times (If the pole results stay consistent.)

**EDIT**

Just for the record, we started on May 27 and went into official hiatus on August 28. 93 days, or 3 months and 1 day, or almost 1/4 a year exactly.

Hello
Hello, this is kinda inactive at the moment, due to Stirk participating in another god game. Namely Ye Gods 2.

Well...Ummm....Bumpdidityump due to the conversation in Ye Gods. Just in case. As a backup. If things end up working out like that.

Currently: 19 votes! That is almost everyone active at the time the game ended.

Winner: Timeskip sleep to Modern Times!

Which leads to the question: How should I "Distribute" technology? Should I do it myself, generally improving as I see fit? Should I let everyone state what their races focused their general efforts on? Or should I just give everyone a blanket technology to the point they are all the same? Or should I do something else not-off-the-top of my head?

Non spoilery example with the Humans.

Option 1: "Fedrich, who remains control over the majority humanity with the Artifacts and Knowledge granted to him, is greatly saddened by the loss of his God. He prayed every day for ten years, stopping only to do his holy duties of ruling the Empire and to eat. Finally realizing he will never get an answer, he decided to look for his God himself. The humans develop balloons, then blimps and biplanes, before jets and space-ships and air-fortresses, ruling the skies in search of a God who may never awaken....

Option 2: Andres: The Human focus on SUPER KOOL TECHNOLOGY I SAW INA ANIME ONCE GUYS! ((Joking, Andres  :P. But as their creator, he would get to outline their focuses to what he wants. Some control over their society changes (like Fredrich stepping down and letting the Great Tribe rule itself) would also be allowed.))

Option 3: The humans get generic guns, generic planes, generic computers, etc. So do the Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, Treeguys, Aag...

Err, IIRC, I had either just introduced or was about to introduce alchemy to the Loi'naaryt, so I'm guessing they'd become either environmentally friendly pharmaceutical specialists or hippy druggies.

What works best for YOU Stirk?

Seriously though, I'd be fine with whatever.

Now, I just need to go remind myself of what I did this game.

Me? I don't really care in any case. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

As you see fit but take in mind what the races currently focus on. Or do something completely crazy and justify that with the power of history.

The Clan probably went agnostic/atheistic by now, knowing Mavnon's teachings. Militant atheists with crusades. Militant atheists with robot angels who fight the crusades.

Dgetagans probably continued along technological expansion paths, plus magic.
So maybe a meritocracy.

I'd say Option 1. I think the mortals should just progress as they see fit (you being the mortals) without US (the gods) intervening; after all, we are asleep. Mayhaps blanket technologies that we all have (we'd all have steel, and coal, and firearms, for example) but certain technologies might be unique to certain races (sky fortresses unique to frederick in your example, or advanced computing machines unique to dwarves, or tanks unique to Clan Rilem for example).
