If I'd known how bloody interested everyone would've been in the Kitsoony, I should've got everyone together to get a discount...

I just wanted to teach them how to portray villains properly
Didn't expect everyone to get obsessed with them...

[Andres]

I'm just glad that no one's paying attention to the Glorious Human Master Race for once.

[Dutrius]

Yet.

I looked up "0-cost energy actions" in the OOC of Ye Gods 1 and 2 and found nothing relating to magic. I looked up "magic" in both and the Ctrl+F searched for "energy" to see if it's possible to use it without energy and found nothing. I've forgotten what the results of our conversation on the topic were and I failed to find them. Could you link me to it?

What the heck are you talking about?

KJP said you can use magic.
He also said he didn't predict anyone would use it outside of some Exotic things.

You are choosing really weird word searches for some reason.

They were also in-character for my god who wanted to use his god powers to do cool stuff. Cooking dinner wasn't supposed to be one of those actions, incidentally. Rather, my god just didn't want to waste all that elephant meat and leave it to rot where it was. Punching the elephant to death was rather useful as I now have a decent idea of how strong my god is. Might be useful if war breaks out and he wants to physically join a battle. Same thing with the planet drop. I'm doing these actions specifically so I can avoid assuming anything about my god's physical capabilities. I'd rather know what they are.

No it doesn't. That test was about as accurate as "Small plants have souls, big ones do not". In an actual fight against a war elephant in an army, the results may be different. Even if not, the fact you killed several of your own guys would mean the results of this test point to you being more dangerous to your own side then the enemy, with an (at least) 1/6 chance of murdering several humans  .

Is similar features such a bad thing?
Heck, I could list quite a few already in the game.

Gravity.
Heat.
Electricity.
Mass.
Life.
Water.
Rock.
Fusion (stars).
Etc.

Nah I'm just kidding. I was literally not expecting anyone to care all that much until after all the stuff got created and it came down to how the races were interacting with each other.

Kinda cool, I s'pose. The Kitsoony have met quite a few gods, and they've only existed for two minutes!

I looked up "predict".

Spiderking50: Confirming what others have said, anyone with enough skill/ability can use magic. I predict gods will rarely use magic with the exception of a few undiscovered slots.

Found it. It was someone else's Q&A question. Probably the reason why I couldn't remember it.

I thought he was rolling what my abilities were. For example, I rolled a 1 when I cooked elephant meat so I now have a low Cooking stat, but I killed an elephant in one go so I now have a high Strength stat. Like rolling a character's stats in an RPG.

...Why...would you assume something like that?

He made it clear he was treating it like an RTD. It looks like he rolled 1d6 and assumed the results of each action based on that. If you went out and punched 6 different Elephants in 6 different actions, you would most likely get several different results. And stabbed for annoyingness.

...In fact, he made it pretty clear

((Since you persist in trying to get numbers for that sort of thing, I counter by just turning it into a basic 1d6 RTD. ))

Since the normal game isn't 1d6 base, there is no way you would get the same results in actual combat.

[Andres]

Damn it you're right! I have been assuming! And here I thought I kicked my habit! From now on, I'll make sure to ask more questions!

Questions for KJP

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Do gods have magic?
When gods use magic, is it just 0-energy actions?
Are 0-energy actions more powerful than magical actions?
Are 0-energy actions subject to rolls?
Are actions which use energy subject to rolls?
Where does magic come from? The soul? Ambient divine energy? Something else?
Is the source of magic different between gods and mortals?
Is soul sense a normal god ability, a 0-energy action, or magic?
Is god magic more powerful than mortal magic?
When you were rolling on my Adventure Day, were you assigning permanent stats or would my abilities change if I repeated the actions?
Were penguins actually chasing me at 175 km/h? If they were, that would mean I was running away at a speed equal to or faster than 175 km/h, even though my max speed running through the desert was 26 km/h. Also, I don't remember penguins being able to move that fast.
Would creating a biosphere with a Cretaceous theme cost 0 energy?
Are all the races currently residing on the first world close to one-another? I know the Humans and the Djinn are but I don't know about the others.
Is it possible to increase a god's physical strength by physically training?
Is it possible for a god to increase its ability to do magic by practising magic, studying it, or learning about it from a wizard?
Do gods start maxed out in terms of magical ability?
Are gods better at using magic they create?
Do gods start maxed out in magical ability when it comes to schools they create?
Since both pyromancy and plasmamancy deal with fire, does that mean magic that uses fire in general is more powerful as a result?
Would combination pyromancy/plasmamancy yield more powerful results than using purely one school?
Does stacking have any effects beyond bureaucracy?
Does parallelling have any effects bureaucracy?
Are rolls usually done in 3d6?
When do you usually roll?
Could I beat Rose in a fight?
Could my civilisation angel beat Rose in a fight if he employed 0-energy actions?
"Answering prayers not too elaborately (e.g. turning the petitioner into an angel, erasing the petitioner from existence, flooding the entire region)" Does this mean it's possible to turn petitioners into angels, erase them from existence, and flood regions with 0-energy actions so long as the god doesn't go into much detail when doing so? The wording kinda makes it confusing to me.
Why does libromancy mirror pact-binding? Would libromancy help pact-binding by allowing for the creation of physical contracts?
Is it possible to change my god's form into that of a mountain-sized titan and physically crush an elephant without energy or 0-energy actions?

[Stirk]

....What is that? 28 questions? Are you trying to stall the next update for some reason?

[Andres]

Those are all questions I have in my head. Leaving them unasked means assuming or guessing their answers. Also, updates are now every 48 hours so they probably wouldn't stall any updates.

... why?

I mean I understand it fits your character but...

It's odd and really funny at the same time.
