There was the proposal I put forth ICly but everyone seems to have ignored it.

I wouldn't be against some GM rules to speed the process up.

[hector13]

I'd prefer some GM rules at first. Basically just stuff setting out how influence and Essence gain works, though I think Essence gain is kind of already done, so... Just influence it seems. Maybe a handful of trait costs, but we - again - already seem to be in that.

Just influence then it seems...

I kinda trust KJP to eyeball it, but I know from experience how much stress/work winging that sorta stuff every turn adds on.

So, uh, did anyone tell Andres about this? Apparently he is still around, and he has always been obsessed with this game.

...When was that, exactly?

[hector13]

Let's keep it civil lads

We already have a God of generic stuff anyway /jokesatother'sexpensewhoaren'theresoIjustlooikeabastard

But I would've thought he'd spied it by now, otherwise I could drop him a line.

First game I ever ran. (Un)Holy Powers. Basically winged the entire thing, didn't have a proper system in place for when someone wanted to start a fight, went downhill from there.

Oh. In that case...

Spoiler: Humans (click to show/hide)

Humanoid mammalians, humans are eusocial creatures that with strictly defined castes. Each caste serves the colony in a way similar to that of a body. Breeders reproduce, Labourers gather resources, Craftsmen produce tools and so on. However, while seemingly an orderly society, each colony is driven by one desire that is always at the back of their minds; feeding their addiction. From birth, each human infant has an intense desire for the roasted nuts of the Kaf'e bush, which are tenderly guarded by each colony. Without a fix, a human is guaranteed to fall into coma and perish. In a few cases, those suffering withdrawal have instead gone on rampages, taking many down with them to the grave. As such, the supply of kaf'e within a hive is strictly maintained, organised and rationed out as needed.

Can you guys stop making humans hive mind antlike creatures in a castle like society please? We had that last game...

Influence: It would probably have to act as a balance for those with little interest in worship this time around (given the very high worship output). Perhaps something like this?

WEEKLY
If individual worship income is above (average worship income - 1σ), cancel
Otherwise, let ΔE be the difference between the average worship income and the individual worship income
Let ΔE/3 * (number of Ticks per week, hopefully 7) be the amount awarded each influence miniquest/opportunity

Check for at least 5 posts/PMs (or maybe something else?) in the last week, cancel if zero
Roll d6.
    If 1, provide 2 miniquests/opportunities (distributed across the week)
    If 2-5, provide 3 miniquests/opportunities (distributed across the week)
    If 6, provide 4 miniquests/opportunities (distributed across the week)

Previously, influence income was (very) imprecisely awarded (to a level that annoys me)

I kind of want to make Homestuck cherubs ripoffs now.... They're the opposite of that.

Spoiler: Humans (click to show/hide)

Furred and fanged, humans are a bipedal species of almost-sapient predators. Nocturnal and solitary, each and every human is capable of taking down prey much larger and stronger than it via a plethora of lethal bacteria residing in its mouth. As such, humans often hunt by biting down on their prey and then allowing them to flee. Days later, they locate the carcass of the fallen creature and consume what they can. Though deadly, humans can be easily scared away due to their fear of fire. Humans mate during the spring season and produce a litter of two-six and it is during this time that human packs re formed. Made up of a breeding pair and their pups, a human pack is a terror to any creature lacking a fire. Humans generally live up to 20-40 years.

A terrestrial species of anemone often mistaken for ferns.

I don't really see the point of making something called a human if it's not going to be a human, other than a couple cheap laughs.

Humans:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

An eight-legged creature much like a spider, with massive crab claws. Its exoskeleton is deep blue, and very resistant to damage. They are roughly the size of a bus, and have their underbelly covered in hundreds of eyes that all look in opposite directions. Their sole means of movement is dancing, they can not do something as simple as crossing a room or getting a drink without busting a move. They are pacifistic creatures, who replace normal combat with "dance battles" where armies compete to see who has the best moves, judged by a rather confused third party (preferably of a different Race). Even if under attack by enemies, they will die dancing. The females are capable of levitating up to five feet in the air, while the males are capable of dancing holes into the ground.

Nah, they just cant think of a good name for some reason, that and they want to make everything confusing.
