Ah this seems a lot like LOC: put me on the likley nigh perpetual waiting list, :-/ (what is this turn based or something?)

[AbstractTraitorHero]

yes turn based.

[Paxiecrunchle]

yes turn based.

I'm more used to more...freeformish god games(not terms of having fewer rules mind you)  or the main involvement from the GM was cataloging stuff and helping to solve player disputes, rather than… Making the world function. I'll give this a try I'll see what I can submit later today, compared with what's already existing.

Wow, there's a lot of talk in here about evil gods and their evil actions here. My thoughts here are: Creating a giant cursing monster, creating mind warping shrooms, creating insanity. These are all evil and aggressive acts against other gods, and one should expect other gods to eventually respond to these things negatively. However, I'm not totally sure that means one shouldn't do them. If you're an aggressive and evil god, roleplaying and playing as such is to be expected. As well as eventual conflict. It might be nice if the world was a little bit bigger, so we could develop before coming to blows, but it's not.

I believe the main problem with the shrooms was that it was aimed towards all the Vri, and thus had the potential of crippling the only mortals available. I think the solution was to limit our power in effecting whole species. While that might seem to effect evil gods more, they will probably appreciate a good god being unable to make mortals perfect paragons.  Other than that, evil gods are going to be evil and are going to be crushed by the forces of order and good.

I just want people to live in cities and be trying to improve themselves. I do not particularly care how they improve themselves. But I want people to be able to improve themselves, which making them fundamentally anything and unable to change from that is unconducive to.

I think the main problem is not that the actions are evil, it's that there is no good way to react to them. That, and they have a chance of wiping out the only sapient species in the world, which would be game over, since no one has the Great Act required to make more.

That being said, now that Shadowclaw has edited his actions, I have no problem with them. (OOC, that is. Exkit would rather the Vri were perfectly sound of mind, so that they can build great works (for him to burn down))

EDIT: Micelus, you realise it'll cost you two acts (on top of the acts used to create them) to manifest your servants, and that you won't be able to use Minor acts whilst they are summoned?

Right after some discussion on discord I realized i was missing some mid tier calamities that I'd managed to delete from my notes. So for the benefit of those who don't want to go back and check what was added is:
17)Plague of Dire Animals
Large, powerful and aggressive animals are swarming. They are much larger and more powerful than their regular counterparts.

18) Poison Rain
A black rain falls polluting rivers and pools. Any animal or mortal who drinks water contaminated with the black rain will die.

19)Wave of Peace
Until the next calamity is drawn none of the mortals feel like being violent. Ongoing fights or wars between mortals are put on hold until the calamity is over.

I may have missed that.

It's not a dedicated Calamities Discord, we're using a channel on this server:
https://discord.gg/5cJ2gRY
(I think that link should work)

Name: Hixiux
Sphere: Chaos
Description: Twisting, Burning, ever changing Hixius twists in chaos burning all in his path

You'll get in next turn (8 gods are already enough to turn this little fledgling world into a cinder)

Isn't it the next turn now? or have you now decided to cap the game at 8 players?

Sorry about that that's a side effect of the odd way the discord channel came to be. I'll shove a link into the main post.

In other news the turn is up. Don't expect another one till at least Monday and after processing it I'm sorry to say I won't be letting in any more players at the moment. This is because with 8 gods there is already an awful lot happening and I don't think I could keep up with any more

Isn't it the next turn now? or have you now decided to cap the game at 8 players?

I am very torn. Because I would very much like you to be in (I would like everyone on waiting list to be in honestly) but after that last turn I'm far less confident in my ability to manage the game with more players. So I'm very sorry but I'll have to take back what I said and cap the game at 8 for now. If future turns go well though I'll probably reconsider.

[Roboson]

Its also likely that most turns wont have players spending 3-5 actions, at least not for a long time. So this is sort of a big turn.
