On another forum, where a GM has managed to get himself a cult around his Liver (that I am proud to say I started) due to his frequent and massive hangovers, we have a game called Apotheosis. There is much politics, and a guy called Fakey once had his God of Death murdered by the Nature Goddess that arranged a marriage with him to end the war they were having. Much later, after God of Death's daughter had been abandoned and left to starve due to her order of trying to murder the much-adored prophet of the God of Luck by having someone stab him in the eye whilst having the name of a fake god stitched into the stabber's belly, he had created a new god.
He decided to try and screw up two gods: the previously-mentioned Nature Goddess, Eirene, and the God of Lakes Kalichara. He told Eirene that Kalichara would rape her to have his mutant children, and told Kalichara that someone had told her that he'd try to rape her and thus she decided to go to war with him. This basically resulted in 'Shut up, Fakey'.
Now, here's where we get to the WTF (if our Liver cult doesn't count). Within the player factions, there are two Pantheons that have the majority of worship: The Kidemon Athenatoi, also known as the Five (although their fifth member has been AFK since forever, and the mortals rumour he was killed in the battle for Aegypt) are the "good" guys. They have the God of Warfare, the God of Knowledge, the previously-mentioned God of Luck, the God of the Wilds and the God of Trade (the AFK one). The slightly larger Prota Gennethei is the "bad" guys, made up of the friendly God of the Seas, and the two more warlike gods, the God of the Earth and Horses and the God of the Sky and Darkness. These two groups have been at war before, and have recently signed a peace treaty.
Now, me and the guy who controls the God of Lakes were bored. I suggested that we do what Fakey did, except better. He agreed, and thus we began our plot.
We decided we wanted to have ours involve the Prota. I suggested the God of Horses, because I don't like him and he's directly next to me. We agreed. After much thinking, we gained a plan.
A rather unlucky God of Cats was going to Aegypt, as although he had previously been under the Persian King Darius's leadership, he'd been expected to go and directly fight Orubashi, who was snacking on other Persian minor deities like they were sandwiches after Darius had attacked him. He was selected as who we'd send the fake message to.
The Five were an obvious choice for who we'd pretend the Kai wanted to attack. And so, I sent a message to this god, saying:
"I think I'll be staying on the sidelines for this one. I mean, having fire sprites and pegasi having epic air battles with warlocks would be cool, but I also like Yam-Apep because he's my buddy. If you want to try it, feel free. Just make sure it doesn't affect me."
I, being the God of Fire, have little flying things called fire sprites. The God of Horses has pegasi. Yam-Apep is the Five's leader, and has trained his own warlocks as soldiers.
He actually
believed it was real, and thus a panic broke out in the group Skype. Me and Lake God sat back in our PM system, laughing our collective godly asses off. As of our last talking, Lake God is trying to stoke up the fires of panic by making them all think of reasons for the Kai to attack Yam-Apep. I hope they continue to believe it until they ask the Kai what's going on, or post something in the main topic. Revealing it's a prank after that happens would be even more hilarious.
