"Come now, I already suggested that upon a grander scale."

[Stirk]

A massive scrap pile begins rustling, as if it has been here the entire time and nobody has noticed.

"I'm not crazy about oceans like you guys seem to be. They aren't very fun! Lots of cool metals rust to fast in them, and its harder to dig underwater with all that icky mud. Nothing interesting ever seems to happen in them, and that is sad!"

Wstfgl coalesces out of the chaotic froth, before vaguely shaking itself.

"Ehhh...Oooh.  Should be...Hm..."

A bubble of thought bursts, pieces of it swirling into the other gods, who get images of...

A world of interconnected biospheres, rotating in perpetual orbits around a central sun, somehow resembling a massive buckminsterfullerene...

The biospheres are supported by space turtles, despite flying under their own power this thought is hastily scrubbed away.

There is a cascade of something off the edge of every world, yet their masses never seem to increase or decrease

As the material falls into the sun, it instead loops into a set of intersecting rings, one for each biosphere.

Each God has their own sphere to fill with their creations, a blank if you would, but sundering the links between spheres is impossible.

Some worlds have a smaller sphere set in orbit around them, connected to the world by a single pillar in a thematic color.

"What do you think?"

"Too likely to lead to stagnation, it is practically giving every god their own planet! If we want to pretend nobody else existed, there are more practical ways to do so. Like I always say, we gotta follow KISS!"

[Katzerie, the Token God]

A fur moves aside, and eyes glint at the other gods.
"I-I... have an, idea."
A ball of light shoot through, stopping between the gods, and becoming a disc. A disc of gold, silver, and gems.
Then rock starts to grow inbetween the veins of riches, the highest concentrations are deep down, while the lowest are on the surface level.
A sea appears, flooding the disc. A big mountain grows in the middle of the disc.
"The, main... land."
Then, land grows around the mountain, but unevenly. The east becomes mainly wet marshland, the north gets rivers, but also grows frigid and cold.
The west has very little land, out in the sea, an archipelago appears, lots of islands. To the south, a large river runs, but the lands grow hot. It becomes a desert, except around the river.
"West, islands. North, cold... East, wet. South... desert. C-center... normal."
The land around the mountain remains fertile and normal, though having plenty of rivers through it, to go to the other lands.
But the northern mountain becomes very cold, and more mountains grow. The Northland is more mountainous, while the Southland is more flat.
Sea surrounds the land.

...
Then Katzerie hides in her ball again.

"Not enough diversity in boimes, if you ask Mani! A world should have countless, this seems too limited."

"I do kinda like the big mountain though. Any other ideas?"

"There is no way to pretend no-one else exists, for they are always but a walk away."

[Stirk]

"There is no way to pretend no-one else exists, for they are always but a walk away."

"Unless they build a gate, or a fortress, or a trap...if you give a guy infinite possibilities, they is always going to be a way."

[Ardent Debater]

"Aye, an' it limits Free Trade!"

"You think this problem is inherent in my design?  What changes if the isolator is distance and terrain, as opposed to walls?"

[Stirk]

"You think this problem is inherent in my design?  What changes if the isolator is distance and terrain, as opposed to walls?"

"Then how does that help at all? There isn't any way to prevent abuse with your idea, and its overly complicated for what you want done."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Abuse?  How does one abuse this idea?"

[Stirk]

"Abuse?  How does one abuse this idea?"

"You essentially wish to give each god their own bubble of reality, correct? While the idea seems to desire to be limited, such as one bubble being a series of floating islands, there is nothing indicating it *has* to be, and I do believe you mentioned limitless oceans at one point. There is nothing stopping a God from making his own planet, or two, or five, in his 'biosphere', giving himself plenty of land to isolate him from the rest of the biospheres."

[DreamerGhost]

{A large pyre appears, blooming in a more calm fire that is nevertheless emitting veritable clouds of smoke. The smoke forms itself into a crude upper humanoid half from which two red lights shine}

Greetings, fellow Shapers. The shape of the world is not as important as what we place within. I would support Mani's demand for diverse environments, but I would add numerous Gates - places possibly as large as forests or entire quadrants of seas where reality is intertwined, and entering one may lead to leaving through any other such Gate. World should be large, yes, but not I think separated.

"The portals, however, don't depend on landmasses, they will always appear in sufficient density and location to do their job.  All will always be connected.

"Not only does that not solve the problem, it barely addresses it."

"I don't understand how it doesn't.  You're saying the problem is isolation.  I'm saying that isolation like you're saying could happen is literally impossible."

"I don't understand how it doesn't.  You're saying the problem is isolation.  I'm saying that isolation like you're saying could happen is literally impossible."

"The problem in this scenario is having an infinite amount of planets, allowing the deity to have an infinite amount of land, thus having isolation simply by having enough space to isolate everything. Something teleporting you every few miles doesn't mean much when there are lightyears of land available."

"The land doesn't...Resolve until we look at it, you know.  So even if we say 'it's spread out'...It's not really unless we make a point of marking every distance.
