the "being demons (which i guess in this case refers to any denizen of hell) means they have to be evil"
which i suppose is the former

Well, looking at the Dremonians and the Demons.

The Dremonians aren't really called demons, though yes, they certainly seem evil for evil sake.
A bit weird, considering they're made by a mad god. Wouldn't that make them insanely (heh) varied?

As for the Demons, that seems to be a case where it's the easiest way to describe them.
They are entities who are out for themselves, but for their own sake, not because evil.

demons may be from hell but no where is it implyed or directly stated that they are evil, at most they are dangerus and potentially good at bargining. my creatures are just utterly twisted.

Demons: These infernal creatures are dangerous creatures from the realms of hell. They have a wide range of powers and goals. Some may want direct entry into the world, others may desire other favors and deals.

It is not stated directly they are evil though. Some just want to enter other worlds, so they are just curious tourists. Some desire favors and deals, so they are just idols in need of fans or salesmen.

They're not even all evil. Just wanting to be in the world, or get some sort of leverage over people. It's selfish, yes, but not really demonic evil.
Demonic evil is the sort where angels can just disregard the rules and chop their heads off, because they're always right about them doing bad things.

This reminds me of D&D, where Demons and Devils are considered to be absolute evil.
They can't be good, even if they want to (though they're incapable of even wanting to).

So I guess you're right and wrong. It depends on how they function in practice.
They can be played straight evil by the GM, or they can be played as people, just with different standards.

Yeah, they can be played like Loki, Loki, or Loki.
Oh, and also Lucifer, Satan, Lucifer, or The Satan.

Because I like how Loki can be a diabolical schemer (Baldur's dead, just as planned), an ineffective schemer (Marvel's Loki), a trickster idiot (oh s***, I just killed Baldur), and all sorts of other things.
Even the same character can act in many different ways. And some storytellers portray characters differently.

Ok so I've messed up. I have been operating under the idea that requests are either accepted or declined each round. So that any unfilled requests at the end of the round are denied and disappear. But from reading the IC, it is clear that you all haven't been operating under that same assumption (largely because I never said it, so that's my fault). So here's what I'm gonna do. For this round all unfilled requests will persist into the next round. But after that round requests are either accepted or denied, unless otherwise state. However, this does not in any way prevent a request from being made again in a later round.

Could gods die?

I'm gonna say that that's theoretically possible.

Option 4:
- Full continent
- ? Animals
- ? Plants
- ? Pre-made sentiants to enslave, subvert and sell
- we retain full power
- less installation problems
Triniteus will not accept a defective product from some obscure bankrupt company, even at a cut price ! :P

Ok, so if you all don't decide on a continent/plant/animal combo, it goes Nakeen to decide. I'll give you all a while to give input.

Then *I* will take your region!
I invest 1 intervention point into that continent <19 remain>
Then I pay for that overgrown gold fish to get thrown in the mix. <5 remain>
Finally I point out that tablet would be either an artifact or a landmark and thus cost <10> minimum

You have ten points, not 20.
