Haven't a lot of actions failed because no one invests Essence in them?

I do agree with the Census thing though. Perhaps an investment of Essence in that will suffice as an in-game reason.

Essence investment was no guarantee of an action working.

EDIT: In fact, I'd go so far as to say I've accomplished almost as much through free actions as I did through essence use. The key is dogged persistence

If we do end up restarting, I guess I'll have to make a new god

Name: Curd
Sphere: Cheese
Primary form: An infinite silver platter filled with cheeses, of the exotic and nonexotic verity
Symbol: A trident, with cheese on each pointy bit
Description: Curd is a brutal, cunning, and warlike God who spread Cheese by Any. Means. Necessary. His minions in the Legion of Dairy viciously pursue this goal, force feeding entire towns and cities at once until their stomachs are practically (or, for the most unfortunate, literally) full to burst. Any who stand up to him are swiftly transformed into Swiss Cheese by his vast, inexplicably array of firearms, if not thrown into a giant cheese vat or crushed by the Wheels of War.

*might not be serious.

Oi. What the piss does Montana have to do with cheese?

My father was a dairy farmer. They made cheese there!

how appropriate, you fight like a cow.

You should be Equus, with the sphere of horses.

Or cliche, god of stereotypes.

*Flashback to the bizarre Equus play where a guy worshiped horses*.

Are you implying that I am a cowboy?

Guy was sexually attracted to horses 'cause God was telling him to fuck horses, or something like that...

What else do they do in Montana? /non sequitur..?

What "else"? The implications of that statement are bizarre :0. Outdoorsy things, shooting, hunting, skiing etc are popular. I stick to shooting things and video games, for the most part.

There's probably someone that does that kinda thing. I guess you could say that about everywhere, though.

Anyhow, I am oddly defensive 'bout cheese. I have lived in Wisconsin too long.

I call dibs on the the sphere of stereotypes if we restart this.

What creatures would you end up making for that ?

And think of the puns! "Gouda god! Grate god!" "My followers are as Holy as Swiss Cheese." "I will edam your soul for all eternity!"

Could go with a meta-stereotype and do the accepted versions of various fantasy races in fiction, various personified animal races with stereotypes (cunning fox, lazy lion, cunning weasel etc.) or I could just make up stereotypes of races present and then encourage them to stick to them.

But that drains everyone else's ideas . I am sure your blatant racism will eventually lead to Lion Hitler being followed by all his Fox SS into an assault on the Cheese Empire.

[hector13]

Oh man I could make races that are stereotypically opposed to each other in every way and make them mix.

That is gold!

Demonic Spoon: Thorny mist: Executing now/soon/previously

LordPorkins: Just post a sheet in the following the form given at the start of this thread. There seems to be a slight push to reboot, which I will note implies no progress will carry over, but joining now would allow you to mess around a bit to get a feel for the game

Re "Retry": Time for more reforms (assuming we reboot after all)!
    Census: Leaning on accurate at the moment. Obfuscating or hiding doesn't do any good for transparency

    Influence: Probably going to be helped out a bit by introducing some sort of soft action limit

    Action limit: Adds overhead but can improve SNR, which I'm not sure is always a good thing for this sort of game.

Spoiler: Maybe something like this policy? (click to show/hide)

"Action": A bonus or a lack of penalty on something done

Essence actions: Bonus or lack of penalty for first 2 (or maybe first ceil(# of players / 8 )) actions, penalty or no bonus for further actions

Free actions: Bonus or lack of penalty for first 2 (or maybe first ceil(# of players / 8 )) actions, penalty or no bonus for further actions. May be treated as an action under the limit if performed with a nominal 1E?

Reactions: Always treated as action under the limit if directed properly (i.e. no borrowing actions by arranging to get punched by others and doing something irrelevant in "response")

Secret actions: Count toward action limit at least as fast as usual (but maybe less detectable/traceable than in previous YGs)

    Essence inflation: And how! Probably need caps, preferably increased by something easy to track like overflows or usage rather. Also needs to be balanced to avoid creating massive time-dependent disparities (again)

In any case, I'll probably sleep on the ideas for a few days (hopefully getting suggestions too).

[Demonic Spoon]

Something to that tune sounds good for actions KJP.

Wstfgl's worshipper base is terrifying.

Apparently I have the second most worshippers.

Landria for god-king 2016?
