"Worry not, SADIQ. I shall grant you my AID in this struggle, if MANI cannot see the TRUTH of your words. ARBITRATION may turn out to be a more SATISFACTORY means of concluding this affair, however."

[piratejoe]

"I feel as if something interesting must be done to spice up the world, no?"
Create Ketrumuski on the lower layers of the mountain and in it place a unit of Musik warriors and Mukiski tasked with guarding it.

[Detoxicated]

Gandtrael leads the telepaths of Jannah out of the prison. with the permission of Sadiq. He gathers them at a plain and says: "Scatter in all directions and build conclaves of intelligence, academies in the places where you settle. Those brave enough to feel the will to go pirating may do that, as long as you follow the codulex. If you wish to aid the Mantle cities defeat the mag ferrets, then your bloodlines may be blessed."

Send some Gandtraelites to help the mind-research of Sadiq
Give the researchers following paper

One has to differentiate between different kinds of Mind-Magics, as the Mind cannot be properly placed on a map. While the thoughts and motions are indeed controlled through the sheer force of the brain, the mind is merely using this medium to achieve success in its plan. Therefore one can make a difference between: Physical-, and True- Mind magic.
Spells, or telepathic signals, directed at the brain directly can change the output of hormones or even block certain areas of brains temporarily. Key in this art is to find ways how to achieve effects without killing the other. To seclude an area of the brain, one must haave a knowledge of the anatomy of the brain and must have the proper force fields or similar at hands to make minor barriers.
True mind magic is different, as it directly aproaches the thoughts and emotions of people. Here it is key to watch that you do not drive the subject insane.

[Ardent Debater]

"Hehehe, fools! It was I, Mani who kidnapped the Scientists!" *Dramatic Rustling.

"You see, Sadiq, the Scientists and Engineers Mani kidnapped where your followers, just as the magician is Mani's. Mani wants the Anansi back. Sadiq wants the Scientists back, right? If Sadiq gives the ones he stole back, Mani gives the ones he stole back. Prisoner exchange, yay!"

Sadiq looked at the god for a good few minutes before letting out a big laugh. "That's a good joke my friend, a really good one! I must however say that this individual has caused far too much trouble, with your protection, yes? I will not allow him to continue his littering ways. Without a clear agreement that he shall stop, I sadly cannot let him go..also the PRC is an institute established by friend Landria so you got the wrong researchers friend!"

Sadiq looked at the god for a good few minutes before letting out a big laugh. "That's a good joke my friend, a really good one! I must however say that this individual has caused far too much trouble, with your protection, yes? I will not allow him to continue his littering ways. Without a clear agreement that he shall stop, I sadly cannot let him go..also the PRC is an institute established by friend Landria so you got the wrong researchers friend!"

"The researchers will continue researching in Anansi lands, controlled also by Landria. Mani can continue retaliation if this trade isn't satisfying, he is sure Sadiq has plenty of neat things he can take!"

"I see Ye two arr gettin' ready t' fight. This best be mighty interestin' t' watch, I nah goin' t' be pickin' a side, though. 'O 'course, if either of Ye could come up wit' an incentive 'o some sort, I'd be willin' to pitch in! All tha same, I don't want ta be caught in the crossfire..."

[Stirk]

"It isn't satisfying, no. Without a clear agreement the littering will stop, Sadiq cannot agree to give the mage back." Sadiq sighed. "At least this will be most entertaining, yes?"

4E: Transform some of the escaped ferrets into Morridim, sapient rhinos with grasping tentacles attached to their necks. Have Enchanting Affinity. Settle them in Jannah.

"Booo! Mani will litter more then the magician ever could hope to!"

Mani opposes the Morridim, then starts making massive piles of disgusting garbage and throwing Gold in them.

"Worry not, SADIQ. I shall grant you my AID in this struggle, if MANI cannot see the TRUTH of your words. ARBITRATION may turn out to be a more SATISFACTORY means of concluding this affair, however."

"He kidnapped someone and is forcing him into slavery for littering! That's super-duper mean!"

[micelus]

Sadiq sighed. "Sadiq will explain. Littering a few times at the rate expected of an individual is not a big deal. Littering more than a few times; not a big deal. Littering enough that the city is actually filled with garbage and has had no intention of stopping...a big deal. As I said before, I will allow him and his compatriots to leave if and only if he promises by divine oath to stop littering Jannah. That is all I ask. This is more than a reasonable deal, yes?"
[/size]

Mani opposes the Morridim, then starts making massive piles of disgusting garbage and throwing Gold in them.

Oppose the opposition?
Oppose garbage. Leave gold. Use it in the crafting of watches or for enchanting.

"Worry not, SADIQ. I shall grant you my AID in this struggle, if MANI cannot see the TRUTH of your words. ARBITRATION may turn out to be a more SATISFACTORY means of concluding this affair, however."

"I too hope it does not come to a fight, friend. This is a most paltry reason for conflict, yes?"

Check to see if the Anansi magician can do any real magic.

"More then reasonable? You kidnapped a guy for littering, and all his friends, and made them all into your slaves! Its your stuuuuupid system that let him litter from the other side of the world anyway. They are bugs, they have to litter! Its where the term 'litter bugs' came from!"

Mani opposes the opposition to his opposition, then opposes the opposition to the garbage.

[micelus]

"You are the one who refuses to tell him to stop. If it is in his nature then I must clearly oppose this nature, yes?"

Mani opposes the opposition to his opposition, then opposes the opposition to the garbage.

Sadiq opposes.

[Detoxicated]

As if struck by a vision Gandtrael begins recitating poetry

A wound opened under the mag-ferret sign
Turned great friends of once, into unkind
Their sabres rattled, weapons set up
and the rest of the gods, they ask who will drop

In the mids of Chaos Gandtrael creates more plants and spreads seeds and plants along the mantle cities

Spoiler: Gandtrael's New Plants (click to show/hide)

Wailing bloom - A small blue plant that weeps and cries. Its flower petals are formed like teardrops and it has sweet nectar that strikes one with melancholy.
Mag-Ferrepelatio - A green bush with berries of green colour. The juices of these berries drive Mag-Ferrets away
Horn Bush - A bush that has blue berries. Consuming the berries will make you grow horns become more intelligent and wilder, but you will go deeper into feral modes.

[Stirk]

"You are the one who refuses to tell him to stop. If it is in his nature then I must clearly oppose this nature, yes?"

Mani opposes the opposition to his opposition, then opposes the opposition to the garbage.

Sadiq opposes.

"No, just get better trash machines dummy! Change the system so people can't send trash anymore! This is literally the worst way you could possibly solve the problem!"

Mani opposes Sadiq's opposition.

[Rolepgeek]

"He kidnapped someone and is forcing him into slavery for littering! That's super-duper mean!"

"Though your words are TRUE, you kidnap citizens of JANNAH for the crime of RESIDING where your IRE is focused. SADIQ is perhaps OVERZEALOUS in his punishments, but he is addressing a CRIME nonetheless."

"More then reasonable? You kidnapped a guy for littering, and all his friends, and made them all into your slaves! Its your stuuuuupid system that let him litter from the other side of the world anyway. They are bugs, they have to litter! Its where the term 'litter bugs' came from!"

Mani opposes the opposition to his opposition, then opposes the opposition to the garbage.

"SADIQ. Perhaps it would be PRUDENT to release the MAGE'S companions. They are not GUILTY. The MAGE'S sentence could be commuted to a mere twenty years of SERVITUDE; if he is unwilling to make an OATH himself, I would be surprised. He may even make it to ME, so that his INTENT to uphold it may be ascertained.

"MANI; the one who ABUSES a system is to blame for that ABUSE. Not the CREATOR of the system. That QUANTITY of refuse serves to spread DISEASE; the CRIME is more severe then mere LITTERING. If they must litter so by their NATURE, they may do so in their own LANDS. Your REFUSAL to ask for an oath, and DEMAND that SADIQ take responsibility for your FOLLOWER'S misdeeds causes your CREDIBILITY to suffer.

"If SADIQ releases the MAGE'S companions, offers the MAGE release contingent upon an OATH sworn by my NAME, and commutes his SENTENCE to twenty years SERVITUDE should he refuse, would that be ACCEPTABLE to all involved?"

[Kilojoule Proton]

Tick 9.0: Rampage

Fortuna has performed a number of lucky miracles throughout the lands.

Landria has solved the mystery of the kidnapped researchers. They seem to have gone on a surprise sabbatical in Anansi lands.

Xislo has at last completed the Leyline network. topping it off with a mana beacon continuously blasting a stream of mana.

Gandtrael has sent aid to brainfaithians. (Gandtrael: -3E)

Gandtrael, through incautious aid to brainfaithians, has been rendered incapacitated. The world will never know whether the mag-ferrets like magnet harp music (or what magnet harp music even is).

Frami responds to prayers:
   A Hyrran chef has been blessed with a longer lifespan.
   A Nautil swimmer has begun swimming up the connections between layer.
   Arani borer: "Hooray!"

Fittingly, Arboria has received a gift of unusually large trees from Frami. There is much rejoicing, and many call for Frami to join in the festivities.

The agent of life has mostly eliminated piracy in the waters around Arboria.

Some strange biomes Frami found include crystal forests, fungus-based areas, permanent molten lava, and miniature forests.

Tree-guards have captured a selection of carnivorous plants, finding that unlike the previous mundane carnivorous plants, they have the strength to trap Arani and digest them. The Hyrrans attempt to contact the magma creatures, but they seem not to notice the Hyrrans' presence at all. They move very slowly.

Sadiq has offered to create a commune well outside city limits for those researching mind-drugs, and they accept. Productivity immediately drops off for some reason.

Sadiq continues to encourage technology.

The pirate-hunters report that they cannot wipe out the pirates, but that trade and piracy are at a reasonable equilibrium with enough trade getting through and pirates not being desperate.

Sadiq holds a science fair and sports competition. Most of the entries in the science fair are, predictably, model volcanoes.

The new magical creatures interact unpredictably with antimagic, suggesting that some are matter altered by magic while some are magic constantly altering matter. Also interesting is their interaction with magnets, which seem to harm those made of magic constantly altering matter more often.

Chaotic nodes simply seem to leak more magic.

Sadiq has deployed hunters to hunt the mag-ferretzillas, armed with the latest technology and magitech. Some disappear, with rings of magnets around their belongings in random patterns such as (NSNSNNSNNSNSNNS). One claims to have almost succeeded at capturing a mag-ferretzilla.

Sadiq encourages the use of mag-ferret parts in assorted crafts and productions, also bringing in samples of divine materials for research on replication and giving the researchers plenty of oil and mana.

Sadiq has turned a few mag-ferrets into Morridim, which look very different from mag-ferrets.

Mumuski has created Ketrumuski, a musical dungeon, and a unit of Musik warriors. (Mumuski: -4-14E) Mukiski has been delayed on account of being lethal to create at 14E.

Gandtrael has scattered the prisoners freed by Sadiq, including the Anansi. Gandtrael has also sent some Gandtraelites to help the mind-research of Sadiq and given the researchers a paper.
 Productivity does not seem to change appreciably.

Mani sends all sorts of garbage to the Djinnmarket, but Sadiq manages to redirect most of the garbage to somewhere else. Sadiq has also spawned gold for stuff that needs gold.

Mani and Sadiq have a punching match.

The Anansi magician can indeed do real magic, but it does appear to be a new skill.

Gandtrael has made some poetic plants and poetry.

Ovorr has been struck down!

Section One agents spot Death tearing off most of Ovorr and Landria grabbing the much smaller remainder and make known their vile treachery, ineffectively webbing the gods! Something strikes the two from the shadows ineffectually, and Death vanishes with a chunk of Ovorr, as does Landria.

Tremors rock the Bubble as forests burn down, coasts flood, sandstorms rage across the lands, and even the civilized turn to murder, rioting, and supreme disconent.

A deeply unsettling gurgling emanates from outside the Bubble, and a blood-dripping, burning rock from elsewhere slams into the Great Ocean.

The following god has been marked as inactive: Ovorr

"Now Mani has evidence!" *Rustle pointing* "Mani knew the one who killed the last god could not resist doing it to the second one, so he set a watch around it! And traps, but they didn't do much. Landria lied to us, and Death is also guilty! He didn't even take steps to hide his stolen goods, with an absurd income!"

[crazyabe]

This is all so fun to watch, can we kill some more gods?!?[glow]
I Say, looking for prayers.
