Ye Are Gods (Sign-up and OOC)

[Yukitama]

I take it you haven't read his sheet, he doesn't get out much

Something not limited just to him.

However this is a special all the gods (except for probably Azahiel, for obvious reasons) thing?

If you don't come out for this then what in the world would you come out for? ect. It's not a thing many gods in particular enjoy, but if they don't treat it with some formality or seriousness then things sort of fall apart.

Does anybody have questions for the Pebbles? They’re just half a foot rocks that wander the mountains. Would rocks fall into Life?

 

[Naga The Serpent]

Well if they're walking around, I would assume it is some form of life?

 

[Leepysheepy]

He doesn't. When I say "doesn't get out much" I mean he literally has not left his room since the war.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[almostinsane]

Speaking of.

I don't think anyone has made a deity of the earth itself yet. But the separation of the earth and sky is a key event in many real-world mythologies, and occurred in this cosmology as well as per Amenti's history. Things like harvest, life, and motherhood that are often associated with earth goddesses are already a part of existing deities' portfolios, but the primordial aspect of the planet itself remains.

@almostinsane if no one new comes to claim the domain of Earth, can I make something for Khunji's separated-but-not-quite-divorced ex-wife?

I have no objection as long as they don't double team the rest of the world.

Why can't they just be the one race of mushroom people? Your mortal chosen civilization.

You already have various sub-categories and races for them. What with the big boys and ect.

We’re allowed to create new races and I thought it’d be nice if the Mushfolk has cousins.

I did say that and fungi is in Lravitus' domain. My main issue in this roleplay has been one of balance and if the Collective is not overpowered, I don't mind diversity within his domain.

Is there an issue with that that I am not quite understanding?

 

[Grav]

The Collective is the most peaceful nation, so far as I have made them. They’re not going to attack anything just self defense. The real strength the Collective has is a lot of numbers.

 

[Naga The Serpent]

It isn't so much the diversity of it? But something like "No, I create other lifeforms" is sort of just, touching onto what another does. It mundanes needing to interact with other gods, the entire point of the RP?

I only had one race because I thought that was the limit, I just learned today that I could have multiple.

Yes, and then you go up to your good buddy Angry Tree Man, and go

"hey fam, why don't we make some cool ass rock people? It'll be great!"

 

[FriedCFour]

This is a lot of big assumptions. There's no disdain, there's no contempt, or lack of understanding?

They're things that shouldn't be at the godsmeet. He's an odd stickler of sorts who tries to follow the rules. The gods should either send their avatar, or be present themselves. Whether it be in their full presence or at least an echo or image for the meeting.

The very opening post says that

That rule absolutely was not established from that post. That may be what Almostinsane had in mind but nothing in the rules says Leepy cant do what he did. That's Tauphys doing what he wants and what he sees as a personal affront, not something against established code. It may very well be frowned upon but you very clearly don't fully grasp the significance of you slaughtering the Kobolds in relation to Koys character. It's totally fine you don't, I certainly can't say to understand the ins and outs of every character but that's just fact.

 

[Reimu Hakurei]

Oh I didn't see you had retconned the hivemind stuff, that's why. Still going soulless with them?

 

[Grav]

Yes, and then you go up to your good buddy Angry Tree Man, and go

"hey fam, why don't we make some cool ass rock people? It'll be great!"

I’ll do that it was just that there were problems with having multiple fungal races.

 

[Grav]

Yeah, just spores.

 

[Naga The Serpent]

I was going to include a fungus race there, but I'm not going to lie, I don't know any fungal races outside of mushrooms. They sorta, took over the fungi PR team someone has to stop them.

Now we have vegepygmies which is mold, shambling mounds literal vines and fungus scavenging food like raccoons, and blights men of bramble and rot.

It's very clearly an action that was not a personal affront. He didn't seem emotional about it all. He believed it was a Gods and God representative only zone.

You really shouldn't assert your own opinions as fact like that. You're building up another character to be a way they aren't explicitly to carry your point that 'he killed some irrelevant Kobolds, this man is too evil to manage Life'. (And asserting a characters motivations, which is concerning enough alone).

If you have issue with the fluff idea put forward by Yuki(And they followed based on their characters personality and their view of the GMs intent) that the thrones of mount Olympus are for important business and have some level of levity, that's something to discuss directly and in the OOC. This is a group effort.

They were operating off of that established fluff. They probably wouldn't have done what they did if that wasn't a 'Rule'. So then if there's a problem with the world building 'Rule' they put forward, you should tell them that here so it can be settled and posts edited before it inflates like this.

 

[Draco]

While on the subject of races, does anyone have any problems with half-bird/half-men races arising in the Parliament through interbreeding? I would likely file them under a big group as "Birdmen," with most if not all of them having bird heads and then varying levels of birdness to the rest of their form, but in all cases bipedal. I can detail more specifics from there if need be.

In regards to other players having feathered folk or races with bird-esque anatomy or features, I don't mind. One because the claims were made before I joined, and two I would just see it as Perzawlkhan having been the first and mother of birds, and then other gods riffing on the design philosophy to their own ends.

 

[FriedCFour]

He literally is starting a fight with another god who tried to prevent the total completion of the Kobold Holocaust. To me that comes off contemptuous.

You really shouldn't assert that your own opinions as fact like that. You're building up another character to be a way they aren't explicitly to carry your point that 'he killed some irrelevant Kobolds, this man is too evil to manage Life'. (And asserting a characters motivations, which is concerning enough alone).

I'm hardly saying he is too evil too manage life. You can be incredibly evil and manage life. What I am saying is that a god who created a species would likely understand that species and its relation to its Patron god. From my own point of view that came off contemptuous. I'm not asserting his motivations, I am saying that showed contempt. It wasn't a nonchalant uncaring mass murder, he was annoyed by their presence. Then there is the line "Were these Azahiels Kobolds?" That shows Tauphys has no idea who they are, what they are doing, or how much or what they mean to Koy.

If you have issue with the fluff idea put forward by Yuki(And they followed based on their characters personality and their view of the GMs intent) that the thrones of mount Olympus are for important business and have some level of levity, that's something to discuss directly and in the OOC. This is a group effort.

I'm sorry, I don't follow what your point is with Yuki?

 

[Naga The Serpent]

Um, I sort of don't understand the argument guys? Kobolds being there was seen as a social faux pas, thus, they were destroyed. This probably upsets Koy.

I am unsure what else there is to it?
