Hehe, I didn't do anything... yet.

[Caesar]

Alright. I am writing up a semi-flavor post about both Poena (reacting on the shadow) and the beams of light striking Natus.

As for 'hasnt done anything' you're acting in league with the gods who have attacked Astra'ath unprovoked. That's enough.

That's not actually true, as neither of the attackers were in the Refuge meetings (correct me if I'm wrong), but even Astra'ath can't know everything, I guess.

True... Astra'ath hasn't attacked any gods yet. Its efforts have been focused entirely on the mortals of the universe. The only god who has interacted with it as an equal has been Dragnar. Everyone else has ignored it or attacked it.

It has good reason to assume you'll be hostile until proven otherwise.

I don't assume Astra'ath is omniscient, I play it as though it were only aware of what it can observe or what its followers know.

I finished the extra flavour/situation update on the forest fire.

Do you want me to include Poena's RP as well or post this one first to give you something to do?
It may take a little while to think up Poena's actions.

The damage is going to be pretty limited. It wasn't intended to destroy the planet or wipe out all life, just to terrify the population and link that terror to Astra'ath.

Well I was talking with them, but you're really not helping your case! 

But in terms of gameplay I vote that we let Caesar take control of results from demi-gods and gods fighting one another. There has been a few such attacks now so I think we really need an official way of dealing with them. I think attack results should have to wait until he has a final say.

as an example:

laser god prepares to fire a death ray at other god.

instead of

laser god fires a death ray at other god causing massive damage and hurting him alot.

While other god would reply

Other god prepares to deflect the attack and shoot it back at laser god

instead of

Other god deflects the attack back at laser god causing massive damage and hurting him a lot.

This gives our GM the chance to determine the results of these attacks. Perhaps results will be unexpected for both sides. Perhaps he'll ask both sides to PM him with how many acts they're willing to spend on attack/defense. Does anyone else like this idea or do you guys prefer the way we're doing it now, where the players just RP the results themselves?

I can wait for Poena, larger RP posts are always nicer.

Ehh, Knave. Don't like the idea of spending acts on attack/defense, but even if that was dropped, don't like the idea of Caesar having to RP every fight we have.
I say we continue this way.

I think that's fine, though I maintain that demigods shouldn't be able to truly harm a god unless they have some divine power (acts) behind the attack.

Hmm, take your time. BETTER RP MAKES ME HAPPY BOY

[Caesar]

No, you indeed do RP attacks, and I'll post the outcome of anything not directly related to them.

I may also give you permission to write the result out yourself, (like with Alex's attack) but even in that case it's not in all cases true.


Basically; If you both think a battle will end in a tie, you can just RP it like you're doing now. You've probably learned from experience that I don't get angry very quickly.


Also: Now working on Poena. (Don't expect too much.)

[Knave]

Okay, I meant it more as a way to control just the results, not the actual RP during the battle.

But sounds good to me

EDIT: I'll throw up a post once Caesar is posted so Natus knows how to react to the situation on his planet.

A bit tangential to the discussion, but could multiple gods spend acts on a single action? I'm thinking of the various stories in which gods work together to create even more powerful artifacts. ex: the sword in Adventurers that can kill even gods in one blow.(Though that would be a bit boring, so no making that)

[forsaken1111]

I think I'll wait a while and see what happens before I do much else.

They could, yes.

A God could help another one with an act that they're performing.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
