I keep thinking of using kobolds as my mortal race, focusing mostly on fortifying lairs and being self sufficient. Does anyone else want them first, or have a better idea?

Hmm...I think that Whidel will be going for some avian race as his worshippers, since Elementals will be kind of force of nature rather than organized civilization.

I plan on being the patron of dwarfs and constructs/golems.

EDIT: I'm gone for the day, so I shall post tonight or tomorrow.

Updated the First post, Added a map of the Aether. We're just waiting for Vardianor,T-42, Armin and Grim ranger to go before our next turn can begin. It also looks like we'll be having three more gods joining us too.

Hey guys, you might want to remember that godly conflict of any kind is forbidden for first three turns. It is in dem rules.

It just says god-wars, not arguments.
And I really hope that the poor creatures that have been created don't have to deal with divine war so soon after creation as three rounds.

Poor creatures. Divine war is going to start soon. Give fourteen people godly powers, and an infinite universe isn't big enough.

But three rounds isn't nearly enough. I haven't started marshaling minions at all yet. Oh dear.

I am aware of the three round rule, and haven't began fighting yet. Not sure if forcibly turning some mortals into minions is an act of war, but so far I've only given demands.

sorry did not originally intend for all the one person conversations, someone let me know if it gets distracting or too confusing and I'll cut it back a little.

I'm just checking because I've had this pulled on me before, but who teaches the new races how to procreate? There was one time I accidentally killed the universe by introducing time while no one had gifted their creations that ability except for one guy.

I thought of something, does the 3-round truce extend to players coming in on other rounds, or do their truces get shortened?

I think the current collaborating gods should make a set of rings. You know, so that I can forge a master ring in secret.

This artifact, which gives power to an order of its own, it should be new and innovative, something creative like a green lantern.

But then Mzuuth will make the orange and red ones. Why not separate pieces of one item, like the rod of seven?

Looks like war's breaking out right on cue... Problem is, while Locathan's wrath will certainly be dreadful, it's out of divine points. It was trying to save the universe, surely that's a cause some of your gods can get on board with.

From Mzuuthn'liex's perspective, you create a powerful entity and ask other gods to empower him for you while increasing your own, while also tearing a rift in the universe. Well intentioned or not, this tear could lead to bigger problems. While the Dragon's action could be destructive to the Guardian, it also provides for a way to heal the rift. Certainly seems like a better way to preserve the integrity of the universe than making holes in it.

I do have to agree with this. Best of intentions, but needed a little fine-tuning.
And guys, just because he set the limit of no divine warfare before 3 rounds does not mean that we need to have war on round 4. Lets be reasonable!

As the god of war, I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Reasonable is not avoiding something that you thrive upon.

The reason my Things eat Souls and breath Thoughts is because my Spheres are Literally Soul and Mind (and Chaos, Madness, Monsters and Evil but that ain't important)
Something I would have mentioned in my next post had SOMEONE not made them cannibals without my permission.

I hadn't due to Divine Point (DP) Restrictions.

EDIT: Also the Chair of Madness is an Artifact, why isn't it in the Artifact section of the OP? It doesn't have an effect yet but it will soon (when I make my Avatar-Thing)

We play a God Game and people are surprised that we develop megalomania.

Who cares about those mere mortals! {sarcasm, of course}

But your idea of ganging up on Locathan is intriguing. Though I don't know why the god of war settles for a simple ward.

Voroshk was never aiming for a ward. I just figured a somewhat extreme measure like that would be shot down, leaving my next ideas to be viewed as some sort of compromise.

EDIT: Also, if all the gods promise not to influence mortals who aren't theirs divinely, it saves me points that I was going to spend on warding the Golems against divine meddling.

I'm not going to influence Mortals except all mortals equally (like developing Schizotech for everybody) so you don't have to worry about me.

Well, what about the stuff like knowledge of building, making defensive positions, and so on? Can we introduce that to everyone?

I think he means only the gods who created the species can alter them physically from now on. All gods should still have influence over their domains. Right?
