But without Ichor, Essence, or Flux, you won't be able to do anything.

Dreamer has a point about players suiciding gods then creating a new one needing to be penalised, but that doesn't have to be the complete removal of the ability to do anything.

I said that there might already be a penalty, not that some extra one was needed. Starting a new god loses you all your gained caps and creations. Yeah you can remake them, but while you do so other gods are geting further ahead in power.

Besides, I don't rememmber quite so much hate when other player(s) blew up their god after trying their darnest to kill a god and failing.
It isn't hate so much as concern over possible abuse of this tactic. Also I may have skimmed over the whole Isgon suicide thing and missed most of that. >_>

"Possible" abuse is kinda not a problem when you have a GM to regulate such stuff. And we do.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
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.

Updated the mimic description. If anyone notice that one of their creation is missing make sure to tell me so I can add them to the bestiary.

A building designed like one would expect such a center to be built, with a unique architecture style.
Um...oxymorons aren't very descriptive.

Err... How do I execute Yggdrashell?

Also, apparently Visual Studio can open and edit python files. Huh.

What I meant to say is that it will be built to function like a regular psychology/suicide prevention center but will have a unique decoration/style. Sorry for my bad english. :-\

Fairly certain that what IcyTea wanted was for you to extrapolate upon what you think a suicide prevention center looks like and in what kind of unique decoration it is clad.

Nah, I was just confused by 'it looks exactly like you think it should, except it looks like something completely unique', but apparently 'design' meant the facilities and not the architecture.

Okay, so I seemed to have missed some stuff. A lot happened, and I'm unable to read everything back since I've got 4 important tests this week and I didn't do jack shit for school the last few weeks. Could someone TL;DR every major thing that's happened since ~page 210? The only thing I seem to have read is that Si died for some reason, and tntey retired their character for a terrible ingame reason again.

Don tricked Si, Si went nuts, and blew herself up.

HD should NOT be penalized, as Si's actions were internally consistent and developed character.  However, I really think tntey needs a disincentive to repeatedly rerolling.  Seriously, this is his third god.  It's not even funny.

I kinda see where you're all coming from with the reroll penalty but at the same time, as I think someone else said, you're technically already penalized by loosing all cap gains and followers.

Anyone who keeps this up can pretty much expect to be at a significant disadvantage later on. Even those imprisoned gods are probably ahead of any new ones that pop up and they haven't been able to do anything for a while.

Most of the best stuff in these games doesn't really happen until there's a few characters that have substantially built themselves up. At least, that's my perspective.

In a purely-biased-in-regards-to-mental-illness way, no.

In a meta-game sense, we've had two gods kill themselves because shit didn't go their way; not something I think we should endorse.

No, Si killed herself because of grief over innocent casualties.
Nogis...Just randomly up and leaves.  That doesn't make much sense.  Eh.
