Well, I doubt it's based on Essence spent, as Axt still only has a cap of 20.
So something else must've happened.

[hector13]

I believe it increases the chance of expansion, not guarantees.

[Stirk]

Seriously though, in the OP of the OOC:

Essence capacity increases mostly through spending and also through overflow.

Stirk just spent the most out of anyone so far .

[Chevaleresse]

oh

In that case Ascald and Axt should have the highest essence caps, no?

No, Munroe actually took out a loan for one of his creations, meaning he has spent over 20E .

Note: The following are possibly changeable by petition

• Essence capacity increases mostly through spending and also through overflow.

Listed as a mechanic rather than Council rule. I would like to petition for its removal, actually. While its original purpose was to encourage activity, I think it gives too much an advantage to older players. Getting something on top of what one already gets (and possibly keeps for later) through the Essence use imbalances the game. In fact, I would suggest removing the Essence cap increases entirely. An old god is powerful not through Essence capacity, but through assets already created. The penalty for inactivity would be overflowing Essence going to waste.

One could argue that there is a risk involved in leaving oneself at 1E and killable, but if one spends that much Essence, part of it probably went to protecting oneself, and most players are peaceful yet vengeful enough that abusing the weakness would lead to retribution.

In the current version of the game, a Council proposal could change this. It was likely added as one of the "Have KJP make some basic rules" pole rules.

And Cim was part of the original problem in the first place ....

Only the last three in the list are marked as changeable by Council. I think the higher ones are meant to be discussed OOC. I don't know of the poll or what rules there were before it, as I only happened upon this thread today.

And Cim was part of the original problem in the first place ....

I won't deny that at all. Cim had what, 70E cap for doing practically nothing while giving off the idea that it was ruling the universe from the shadows? Clearly, something has to be done. But I think discouraging inactivity by allowing Essence go to waste would be more effective than rewarding activity more than its own worth and getting players to do pointless actions that add to the workload but not to the intrigue.

The way the current rules are set up means that we can change anything by council vote.

I don't think anyone *really* believed you ruled the universe from the shadows . You where just hard for Fusil to kill because you kept your head down and never ever spent anything.

[Kilojoule Proton]

tntey: Professorship: I wish

micelus:
    Gas giant: Probably mostly (by volume) hydrogen and helium with a helping of stuff like methane and maybe ammonia if it's far enough, like a fairly generic gas giant
    1E race: So it seemed, until the resolution to eliminate all 1E/1000 stuff

crazyabe: Perhaps change the second sphere from Corruption to something else? Even so, it's not very reassuring that you created the USB-mating tentacle monsters with an unrelated set of spheres...

IcyTea31/"News Hunt": Added

[crazyabe]

I meant Corruption by the meaning of "Corrupting someone to my Cause".

[Chevaleresse]

KJP: How is population growth being handled?

[Atian the Elephantman God]

KJP: I'm gonna get rid of the intelligence if it results in death.

[Kilojoule Proton]

crazyabe: Try another word, perhaps, even though there's corruption as in "takes bribes" corruption and "forever ruined binary file" corruption?

KingMurdoc: Absent any changes, +6%-2% (net +4%) base as in YG2

Atian the Elephantman God: Fortunately, you can easily afford it as of now/T5 if you'd still like to do so

[Atian the Elephantman God]

KJP: Could I possibly get +2intelligence? If not just go with +1.
