*Munches on Jelly Beans, Listens intently.

Seriously though KJP, can I change Kuthulknoes's 2nd sphere from Chaos to Disorder, since we haven't really started yet and Disorder suits Kuthulknoes's personality much better, while being arguably weaker than Chaos, since it only really applies to disrupting Order and we already have 3 Chaos Gods?

Also, I don't disagree, OOC, Ardent, but it should be that way according to who? The gods, as far as I can tell, have yet to come to any sort of accord on that point. Freedom of religion is a bit touchier when the gods get pissy if you don't sacrifice your goats every month.

According to Kuthulknoes, He's ((Arguably)) quite Fair and ((Apart from creating hordes of monstrosities, setting Mortal civilizations at war with one another, and consuming Souls)) benevolent. As long as Mortals don't seriously blaspheme against him in public he doesn't really care whether or not they worship him, as long as they respect his power.

Also, guys, if you start eradicating every species of Monster Kuthulknoes creates without a good IC reason I'll be very heavily annoyed.

Vir might support you on the monster part.

There's the rub, though, isn't it?

Some people find being allowed to blaspheme against other religions a very important part of their religious freedom.

Yeah, Dungeons and Monsters really go hand in hand don't they? I'll talk about a potential alliance once the game actually starts.

Point taken.

You missed my action:

Budgeting 3 Flux and the rest of my Actions, I research the Angels sphere.

EDIT: So I'm looking at the 'Skills' section of the SW rulebook and there are a few pecularities. First is the reference to "Arcane Backgrounds" for more information which aside from a mention in Sample Powers and the Edge, doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere else.

The second pecularity is Faith. It's mentioned in the 'Powers' section that it's an arcane skill and in the two Edges that use it. The two Edges are both anti-evil so does that mean there's objective evil in YGL? Is it evil relative to what the god thinks is evil? As for the Faith skill itself, what exactly is it? Is it a type of magic? Can anyone use Faith magic regardless of whether there's a present magic system to use?

[Rolepgeek]

That was just before the turn was put up, Andres. He doesn't do actions that late.

[Andres]

Damn, that's unfortunate.

Demonic Spoon: Pumping extra points for traits: Not at this time, but if there's enough demand for higher tiers, it's possible.

micelus: It's probably more useful for agents than races (which would be better served by fluff), yes

darkwarlock3 &al.: Mindless races would likely not be races to begin with, given their function

Ardent Debater: Done. And here I was hoping for a big fight

Andres: Resolving as a T1 action
        Magic systems, objective something-ity: YGL throws out pretty much all the SW magic stuff except there being an Edge for magic and a casting skill. Quit insinuating that I would actively try to implement something like that in YG's typical settings

--more to come--

Andres: Resolving as a T1 action

Thanks.

Spoiler: Poll results (click to show/hide)

Set the global technology level to...

TL0: Stone Age    - 10 (50%)
TL1: Bronze Age    - 6 (30%)
TL2: Iron Age    - 4 (20%)

Median: Halfway between TL0 and TL1
Resolution: Global tech level downgraded to TL1 (magic usable to replicate TL2 to some extent)

[Andres]

The OP said that there's a cost on activating worship sharing for races. Does this apply only to already-existing races or also to races that are being created at that moment?

[Kilojoule Proton]

Both (the price is there to serve as a disincentive to increasing bookkeeping)

Quick point regarding my actions in the last Tick: I didn't have enough action points left after creating the Kikna (that is unless I did something wrong with them) and doing some secret things to actively oppose Arnie's web thing so... mine is just a protest as well.

[Ardent Debater]

How much Essence does Kuthulknoes have left?

In saying that the create Kikna action wasn't processed so... I dono heh.
