Well we're all powerful, and he was unconscious.
And was burning away the World.
What do you mean what god powers? The powers that we have, as gods. What, can these gods that can zap between godly realms and the real world not fly or teleport, except for, I guess, him?
Poseidon could teleport, and that had jack to do with the Ocean.
If you'll refer to the character application, there is a section on the Purview and specific areas a God has domain over. This creates strengths, weakness', and compatibility with other Gods. This is also something that has been used to establish dynamics between Gods throughout the roleplay.
It's important to keep those in mind when accounting for these conflicts. Some Gods are better at certain things or have different capabilities. Mushroom God can create diseases. Your God has psychic powers. I can create super items. That isn't to say we're limited to those abilities, but those are the domains we are literal Gods of and those specializations should have an impact on our fights.
The Solar Rays of the Sun are indeed hot, and probably would burn most Gods. Getting close could be an issue as a result. Perhaps there are Gods who have abilities that would make doing so much easier? Take a look at the list and think about that compatibility. This is the depth that makes roleplays fun!
Being Gods, there are certain things I imagine we can all do. That's so obvious it really shouldn't even be said.
Direct me to the GM post saying that the Sun was some universal scale powerhouse beyond all of us, then. He's *a* god, not even being played by a GM, not even the previous king or the setting antagonist.
So no, until I see a GM statement to the contrary, there is not some vast difference between the destructive potential of the Sun God, Vaad, or any other combat or destructive power focused god. We're broad peers unless stated otherwise by the people running the game.
That's not my responsibility, that's something you want. It's definitely not something that exists, and it has nothing to do with any of my points. It's purely a measurement you introduced yourself, and it's not really relevant to anything I said.
I only referred to the logic of a Sun God probably being strong and that other players have played with that and reinforced the notion. You've haven't really addressed either of those statements, and instead turned to the GMs- in a creative writing sandbox. It's somewhat in poor taste, and I think you should address the internal reasoning for the power levels you seem to have issues with(and many other players don't) and open a dialogue up about them instead of attempting to shut them down.
The central thesis of my argument isn't that the Sun is just 'stronger'; its not really all that relevant. It was that it was a complicated situation against a troublesome opponent. Our Gods were fresh, inexperienced, just born, and only a fraction of them were probably active at the time. A creative solution was probably required rather than a derp rush.
So this paragraph is "If it took more than one person it might have been hard to coordinate" which... sure, that has nothing to do with what I said.
It doesn't, it was just a core part of my greater core argument, which is what I care about. I don't really care about responding to what you say, debating things with you isn't my objective or anything. I just want to make it clear how this would've been an important lore event.
Your central point reduces a plethora of practical reasons to "The sun was stronger than everyone but isnt now that he's awake", which I refuse to accept.
You're free to refuse acceptance; that isn't my position. I'm saying that you're mundaning the event into "y'all should've just beat him up willy nilly' which you continually say just one God could've stopped the crisis easily. Not much of a crisis if that's the case. The Gods just let the world burn, again, because they were squeamish. You're asserting a lot for many other characters.
The premise is this: The sun was burning some stuff, some of the time, and no one had done anything about it by the time he stopped.
Your explanation: They did not act because they could not.
My explanation: They did not act because they chose not to for whatever reasons they had.
My explanation involves agency, your explanation requires supremacy.
You also keep saying I said it would be "easy" which is just untrue.
I do not hold the position that they
could not act, just that it would be more difficult than a boring anime battle with a floating fireball. So to clarify- you are creating a position for me, then attacking it to defend your own. I hope that isn't intentional and just is a product of genuine miscommunication between us, where you aren't understanding my point.
It'd probably be a group effort, or some sort of clever or exceptional action- such as our bird blocking its rays, or the Moon removing him from half the day. Just because that'd much less boring and more mythological and interesting then 'Everyone beat up the sun'. My position is quite literally already whats happened within the shared narrative- something other people have already written.
What you're asserting is absolutely new, goes against it, and makes the entire scenario mundane and fairly boring.
Moreover, your explanation is the one that asserts what other peoples characters did. Again, I've stated it multiple times previously, but you're mundaning the actions of the other Gods and forcing them into squeamish inaction. The burden is on them to justify your vision(and justify their characters inaction) for an event you didn't even participate in.
I think I've gotten my point across well enough, so I don't really see a need to bother continuing this discussion. It's a shared narrative, so if you don't like what people have written about those events you don't have to be involved. I'd rather focus on the fresh IC and all the possibilities it opens up too us.
