Neato. I wasn't planning to use it like that. You pointed out the potential abuses, preventing me from making a single stationary building. Good for you. I hope your god feels safe now that he has stopped the potential hordes of peace planes flying overhead throwing their peace bombs everywhere, oh wait no one was planning to do that.
Oh? In that case, Munr03 wants to make a Bomb trait: (13.6) Blows up everything in 100km. We only plan on using this to dig a single hole and then never use it again, why is everyone saying it is a horrible trait? Once it becomes a trait, the potential for abuse is there. Heck, it is overpowered for stationary objects as is. We have no reason to allow it in just because "Nobody plans on abusing it at teh moment!1!"
I never called the people bland and boring, and your attempts to strawman me are actually rather insulting. I was saying that the system as set up, encourages you to take bland and boring actions because they're the only ones that get approved.
In addition, I would be more inclined to argue with the people if they did more than post single word "oppose"'s or such lines as "There is no circumstance where this trait should ever be allowed.", neatly shutting down any discussion I might have with them. Having to ask each time why they oppose your proposal is not something you need to do since they should have said that in the first place. And yes, I myself, in a fit of petty vengeance, did also post one word opposals instead of espousing my valid reasons for opposing said proposals, because if people do it to me I'll do it right back. I admit this fault.
It certainly sounds like you implied everyone else was making the game bland and boring. Is that untrue? "The game is bland and boring because my pet project got shot down!11!" is blaming everyone else for being bland and boring.
If you want your proposals to pass, you have to argue for them. Even if the players love them, most God's will hate something like this. How do you expect a God Of War/Enchanted Weapons to feel about an aura that forces peace? In an absurd area, for cheap? Of course they opposed it. People should probably explain why they oppose things more, but that is hardly ruining the game forever.
This isn't rage-quitting because people didn't like my peacetowers, this is me stopping playing because the game simply isn't fun to me for several different reasons, which if even only one or two of them weren't present, would allow me to still get some enjoyment out of the game. If we didn't need to wait several days to get told that we didn't do anything this tick (or perhaps the gm could even actually contact us beforehand so we don't effectively waste an entire tick!) or actually got some narrative on our actions encouraging us to post more than just bareposts bold action-text, or if the the system was better designed or if the playerbase was more cool with actually allowing quirky or different stuff. Yet none of these ors are and so this game isn't for me. I'll probably still skim the updates and such from time to time.
There is plenty new and different stuff. At this point, your little towers are the only Inherent Magic that has been shot down. If you don't want to be told you did nothing, how about trying to do something? I know that must be complicated, but I am sure you could pull it off if you wanted. Do you really expect KJP to PM everyone to say "You haven't done anything this tick, are you sure you don't want to do anything?". It certainly feels like a ragequit, and saying it isn't really doesn't change that fact.
Okay, but have thought about the proposer feels? He makes a proposal, in the hopes of getting it allowed, only for some random god to come along and tell him "no". Why did the god do this? He doesn't know. Is there some irreconciliable ethical difference between the two of them that would make discussion pointless? Should he even bother asking the reason? If the other god couldn't even be bothered to explain why, surely they would be too apathetic to change their vote? Perhaps the god doesn't even have a reason, ruining the proposers grand plans on a whim. And then several other gods come along and tell him "no" too, with the same lack of explanation.
I would assume "Mildly frustrated" at worst? Any stronger emotion than that is over the top.
