First up, for all you who have indicated interest, I will be accepting waitlisters, but you'll probably be starting with less acts than the original founders when and if you get in.

Secondly, I've added a new section to the rules, detailing how you can battle other gods.

Quote
Sometimes the differences between differents gods are truly irreconcilable, and there is no other option but to solve their differences through violence. There are two forms this can take. Prolonged direct combat between gods is too stressful on the fabric of the bubble, and is thus not detailed here and carried out blindly at the players own risk.

Expelling:
By spending more acts than their targets currently has, a god may expel another god from the bubble. However you should beware, as this would reduce the stability of the bubble as their roles are ripped away. In addition, the expelled god will still have some time to wreak havoc on the outside before the Devourer takes them.

Devouring:
By spending a mighty act, you can devour another deity if your remaining acts would be more than their acts. In this way, you could take up the mantle of their roles for yourself, maintaining the stability of the bubble. Beware however, gods are not easy to digest, and the eater may become the eaten.

Thirdly, some discord quotes:
Quote
Coolrune206: And is this the kind of game where the players are expected to work together?
I'm usually that one evil player that breaks off the group early, sits in the corner, and monologues for half of the time.

DS: Sort of? A minimum amount of co-operation is expected if you don't want to die
but feel free to mess with each other
I know you made your character like that, so feel free to go evil

Coolrune206: Also, how should we format our turns
Should we label the acts as what they should be; Major, Normal, or Mino?

DS: Bold acts and deeds
Yeah, you should say stuff like "I use one Act to do x" or "With a Mighty Act I cleave this planet in two"

Micelus: can actions be opposed?

DS: think I'm going to go with no
Like you can mitigate an action
For example, if someone makes a plague, you could make medicine plants or teach people medicine
but direct opposition isn't fun
if that makes sense?

Would I be able to teach my Noll ( using one minor act ) how to build cities?  I know it's really not my sphere, but I want to be able to bridge the gap between those living in the city and those living in the wilds.

You can do that. You're not really limited by your spheres, they're more like what you administrate in addition to being a powerful god who can do stuff outside his roles if he wants to

I shan't be playing in this since I'm normally the evil dickbag and I don't have the focus right now, but I'll be watching. I like god games.

Yeah, at this point, from a metagaming stance I need my Noll to worship me, if you keep outright helping them they'll just convert to you and I'll be dead in the water.  Just trying to consolidate my worship so I don't starve to death  :P

It would cause less conversion than building an entire city for them, but NRDL's fear are somewhat valid

Well then just acknowledge me as a minor god in your pantheon. Thus they'll worship both of us while you still get the advantage of me going around teaching your people all kinds of neat little things for free...

As for our dear Demon, turns out i can take him on entirely alone. If you let me i can capture him, build the prison and then siphon of his power as a super-battery for the bubble (plus a little graft for myself to make it a bit worthwhile for me too) - everyone wins...even the demon since he is no longer going to be eaten by the devourer.

Unless Ghazkull has decided on a secret action or two with you, the whole "set up the trap" bit has to be posted I believe.

I'm set action wise unless a more convincing argument is had about letting Uzlac in.

Yep.  Changed my mind so many times, don't even care if all of reality falls apart next turn, I ain't changing my action no more  :P

Ah, so he did. It's certainly descriptive. The question becomes whether or not it's effective and what the collateral damage is. We could use the deed and minor act to try to preemptively cut off some of that damage, but I think at this point we're set where we are.
