LoC3: Lightvoid
Note: Ascension Rules Change 3/4/10. See Below.
"Lords of Creation” is one of the most addictive forum games you’ll ever encounter. You might recall one of the earlier versions, played on these boards and the 3.5 boards. If you saw it and wanted to join but the collective history was too daunting, fear not; now is your chance. This is a play-by-post cooperative world-building game in which the players take on the role of gods, with the full powers and influence thereof. The goal of this is to produce a campaign world complete with history, pantheon, geography, races, creatures, and anything you could possibly imagine. One of the best elements is that the world is entirely organic; ancient wars, cultural growth, and divine conflicts are actually the result of warring interests, rather than being pulled whole cloth from a single person’s imagination. This provides diversity that you just can’t find anywhere else. And of course, we have a LOT of fun along the way. To facilitate play and later use, we also have a wikia where game information (such as homebrew races, maps, classes, etc) will be posted: loclightvoid.wikia.com/wiki/Lords_of_Cre...
You can find the basic rules here: loclightvoid.wikia.com/wiki/Intro_and_Ru...
And we also ask that you read these basic guidelines: loclightvoid.wikia.com/wiki/Guidelines
There is also a group for the game, which hosts in-world PbPs, discussions and important news broadcasts: community.wizards.com/lordsofcreation
Finally, many of us chat on and off about the game or other random things at
Room LoC.
Weekly Resets of PP artifacts and Exarchs will occur at 11:59 PM EST SATURDAY NIGHT
DAILY PP accumulation occurs at 11:59 PM EST.

Here is the first of the four starter gods.
Name: The Three Sisters
Domain: Time
Physical Appearance: At first, this god takes the form of three incorporeal voices, though if a visual is absolutely necessary, they take the form of three orbs of light. Once creatures are created, the Three Sisters may take the form of three females of any species.
Symbol: Three birds of any type.
As a starting god, I'll post mine up now.
Name: Grawlf
Domain: Knowledge
Physical Appearance: A large floating eye, hazel iris, slightly oval pupil (sort of cat-like, if a comparison must be drawn).
Symbol: An eye staring out from an open book.
Name: Lohak
Domain: Creation
Physical Appearance: None
Symbol: None
(I am not a mod, but somehow I ended up being one of the starting gods. Destruction isn't necesarily the domain I wanted, but hey, that means less competition for darkness 
)
Name: Zo-Att
Domain: Destruction
Appearance: A purple mist forming a long tendril. The "front side" has two orbs of white light that look like eyes.
Symbol: A shattered five-sided star. The shards are put next to eachother in order, so it still retains a star shape.
I'm pretty sure you all know this bye now, but I'm interested. As for god concepts, I know they're irrelevant this time around, but I'd be interested in trying to play a non-malevolent god of Undeath. If anyone wants to ascend me, that'd be cool. :P
See how things turn out, but remember, players cannot ascend a specific player.
In that Case, I hereby inform the Admins that I am interested in being a part of LotC 3.
Aldii, you don't post a god or domain. You simply need post that you wish to be added to the waiting list. Nothing more.
Ofc I'll be interested,
For a domain I was thinking (but of course that is irrelevant in the current incarnation of the rules), about death, spirits, darkness, life or fire (yes I have a quite broad range of choice).
Actually, it is a good idea to have a list of the domains that you would like, so we know what the popular ones might be.
Interested.
I was looking to death myself, but I don't think I will be beating anyone to the punch with this ascension system.
yes also it could be nice at the beginning of the game to have a list of domains that are going to come into existence in a short time, like a week or so... (so that ppl can organize and maybe decide to wait a little and not to rush in their choices of domains).
Also it might be fair to send the pm on a "neutral" hour to allow ppl that lives in different time zones than the usa to partecipate in the "selection" (Shameless self promotion as I don't live in the usa myself but I think I'm not alone hehe).
I would like to play as a Goddess of the Sun or one of the other larger celestial bodies such as the Moon or the stars.
Fire, Light, Dragons, Energy and Magic is also things that I would be interested in.
I'm alive, and I'm interested in this game.
Edit: Forgot the domain list. I'll add on more if I remember more.
Domains I like: Accidents, Learning, Adaptation, Synergy.
The first two are my favorites, though.
Ok, in a misunderstanding I accidentaly posted a god of Creation on the wiki. Ignore it, please. For domains, I would look at creation (duh), light, darkness, life. I see a god of Destruction will be created on the first turn, so in the interests of a sort of cosmic balance, a Creation god, should be created also. Not necessarily me, but it makes sense to have that sort of balance.
Chapien want in. Add me to waiting list. Yes, yes! Fast!
I'm interested as well, though I'm completely new to this.
I was hoping to go for a god of the forge with a disciplined bend (metalworking, endurance, and/or meditation). I hope things work out well enough.

Trust us, we look forward to having new players.
I napped through the last one, so I'm going to have to try and remind everyone I'm still electric. Sign me up.
Hey everyone - I'm definitely interested in playing. I think I'm already on the waiting list, but I'm not sure.
Domains I like, in no particular order:
Cities, Underground/The Underworld, Murder, Vengeance/Hatred, Transformation/Shapeshifting/Change/Growth/Birth, Madness, Flight/Birds, Storms, Insects, Blades/Sharpness, Language
I am definitely interested.
Name: Latholaneau
Domains:
Moderate- Arcane Arts
Lesser- Mysteries
Description: Latholaneau is described as an old wizard from the far towers of Eyuth. He has been studying the Arcane Arts for his entire lifetime. He has discovered the full potential of these wonders and started to delve deep into Pantheon lore and decided to use his arts to reach the heavens. He had claimed to have spoken with the gods and created his own pantheon- one that he could use to grant prosperity to the people and furhter spread his learnings to others interested in the Arcane Arts.
Symbol: A Wizard's Staff is the most popular symbol amongst his followers. He also carries around a diamond anklet from his first time acquiring Arcane lore. This had become his most cherished and sacred artifact to date even before his pantheon had grown. In turn, the symbol for Latholaneau has been a rough line with a diamond facet on the top of the line- indicating a wooden wizard's staff with his diamond jewel on the top.
The domains are in fact suggestions for Latholaneau. Something along the lines of Arcane magic is fine.
Xeadin- please read the first post for the new way we're doing things.
Edit: Ah, nevermind... you're just jumping the gun a little bit 
All is well.
Everyone- I've been experimenting with various approaches to examine connections between races and nations. Take a look at how LoC2's nations were connected at the end of the game!
I am interested in this as well
Name: Amora
Domain: (in order of preference) Love, passion, fertility, peace
Physical Appearance: Often depicted as a woman somewhere between twenty to fifty and constantly beautiful in so many ways. Her form is always influx from race to weight to hair color and length and all other physical aspects as she tries to reflect what others percive as beautiful.
Symbol: A mask of any kind with heart shapes cut out for the eyes.
I'm down.
THings I would be interested in are Magic/Invention/Alchemy/Artifice, as well as Air/Lightning/Storms
I'm in of course, it'll be great to play again, especially in the early stages since I came in so late last time. As for a domain wish list, I suppose Nature, Aberrations, Air, Slaughter, Constructs/Technology and Insects would all be cool domains to have... not all on the same god though obviously, they'd have to have schizophrenia or something 
You wouldn't have become interested in insects because of the Krukicks would you...?:P
Nah, came up with the idea for an insect god a while ago... though I do admit they may have played a part in rekindling the interest
A god of insects would be a cool and interesting god... Swordwings qualify as insects as well...
I think that the domain of Magic is starting to become popular... just my observations so far... maybe Magic might be a little broad... Magic could be divided into more specific domains, like Arcane, Alchemy, Divine, things like that. My assumptions could be wrong at the same time...
Arcane and Divine are already divided.
Missed the last one, and this looks like a fun game.
Is there a need for a Weather God? 'Cause I'd be totally into that.
Topheh- Just as a heads up, when I clicked on the "Intro and rules Overview" link on the first post, several viruses tried to infect my computer. I'm so glad it still had Firewall...
Not that it would be your fault, I'm just giving everyone a heads up.
Well, that is concerning. I certainly haven't seen anything of the sort. Anyone else had that happen? Wikia should be a fairly secure site... or at least the background architecture should be.
Well, that is concerning. I certainly haven't seen anything of the sort. Anyone else had that happen? Wikia should be a fairly secure site... or at least the background architecture should be.
I've tried it on two different computers. Both were smooth sailing with no viruses.
Thanks It might be a specific AV/firewall issue. What do you use, Xeadin? And do you have similar problems with other wikias, like the old one? lordsofcreation.wikia.com/wiki/Lords_of_...
Important last minute rule change: We're doing away with the 4PP superior domain classification. Originally we had thought that adding an additional tier would allow for more room in actually delineating domains so we don't get a lot of things bunched together in 'lesser domains', but aside from a few examples (life/creatures/dragons/red dragons being one of them), we had issues coming up with such fine levels of gradation for most sets of domains... (air, weather, wind, zephyr? knowledge, communication, language, common?)
So, back to the old familiar greater/moderate/lesser system. Superior spawn and mold actions still remain, though.
GAH! I've been checking here during all my classes, waiting for the Big Bang! The Suspense is driving me insane!!!
Heh. Just waiting for Aradeia to get finished with her own classes and we will begin. Likely in the next few hours.
Ara, so... your sisters. Clotho, Lachesis and Susan?
Eh, nah. Clotho, Susan and Atropos. Lachesis is a boring name.
Susan, Bob, and Laura
This cosmos needs more upheaval.
Just sayin'
Thanks
Nope- that was the only link I had problems with. All others are fine. I'm using OneCare from Qwest.
20 viruses... Maybe someone out there in cyberspace wired that link to send spyware... it was that TrojanHorse virus that tried coming in.
Okay, in case anyone hasn't realized it yet, the In Character thread is up. The only four people allowed to post at this time are Aradeia, ff6shadow, Topheh, and myself (Moondoggy got to post the intro since he thought of it, but cannot post anything else).
We plan on ascending some gods soon, so check your PMs and this thread often if you want in
Are applications still allowed, or is it closed?
Applications are always allowed. I'll add you to the list.
This is something that I am interested in.
I would be interested in these domains: Order, Flowers, Law, Learning, Unity, Foresight, Zealotry, Protection, Fountains, Meditation, or Introspection
Edited - Submitted too early. Sorry!
You have to wait till the PMs are out. Sometimes it takes a while. (I would still save that though )
I am literally refreshing my inbox every minute or so waiting for that PM... yay for eagerness, or OCD, either way
God get?
God Name: Sorstal
Starting Domain: Invention
Appearance: An orb of dark blue light, surrounded by an opal mist
Holy Symbol: A dark silver triangle with a dark blue teardrop in the center
EDIT: Nevermind then.
Nobody posts the god when the PM goes out. PM back that you want the domain, and wait for our confirmation return.
Sorry about that. I hope my PM is interpreted as my desire to claim the domain of Invention, not a demand. I sorta got carried away.
Damn it. Who'd have thought there'd be seven people following the thread at one in the morning? Obviously I greatly underestimated how incredibly popular this game is. =]
Sorry man, but a) you have to PM the god, not post it here, and b) I just got the secrets domain... sorry ^_^; Not a domain I would have considered originally, but I'm actually really liking the prospect of playing a secretive, dark god after playing around with a child god in LoC2 
. Here's the sheet:
God Name: The Silent One, or The Voice without Sound
Starting Domain: Secrets
Appearance: At the moment, a shifting field of inky blackness conceals all behind it and within it.
Holy symbol: A plain black disk
I'm going to wait for OOC thread approval before posting IC
Damn it. Who'd have thought there'd be seven people following the thread at one in the morning? Obviously I greatly underestimated how incredibly popular this game is. =]
I've been waiting for that PM for a few hours. Luckily this is only the first of many more gods and goddess.
And remember, even if you get something you don't want you can still make it fun!
Too true Moondoggy, restrictions breed creativity... I really need to stop saying that before it becomes my catchphrase or something. It's around 4pm here, so I admit to having a bit of an advantage time wise
Can I just say that I love how the God of Creation is a douche-bag? Props to ff6 =]
Well, having your domain in the title of the RP WOULD give you a bit of a complex
Anubis, you recieved a PM approving you. You are good to go.
Further, anyone interested should join the LoC group - community.wizards.com/lordsofcreation
Turns out, the new PM system isn't so great for this . . . . we've not switched for sure, but we are considering using the group broadcast system to send out the notice, with a PM to claim it.

Yeah- this new PM system is atrocious. Before the upgrade, you could enter anyone's name- friend or no friend. Now, it's either you have friends or you have to click on each individual name or avatar... which sucks if you're trying to get word out to several people...
Just a reminder, further Domain announcements will be sent through the broadcast system, not the PM system, as we test it.
It will run as follows: We broadcast the newly available domain, then you PM to the broadcasting admin you interest. We will PM the first person to respond back, confirming them.
And how do I see broadcasts? Where, rather, since I'm already part of the group.
If you go to your profile, on the right side of the screen, you'll see the message bar, with these options:
0 Unread Messages
0 Unread Broadcasts
0 New Friend Requests
0 Group Invites
0 Comments To Approve
0 Gathering Invitations
Broadcats are right below your messages, as shown . Test broacast just went out.
Aha. Yes. Thank you very much.
Domain broadcast is out.
EDIT: Got it! Here we are then.
God Name: Sorstal
Starting Domain: Earth
Appearance: An orb of dark gray and blue, surrounded by an opal mist
Holy Symbol: A silver triangle with a dark blue teardrop in the center
Domain is claimed
Yay, new player, congratulations . Also, if someone were to ascend a god, would they have to inform the admins and let them send out the broadcast, or could they send it themselves? Not to say anyone would ascend a god in such a way the admins wouldn't know, but you know what I mean.
Crap! I go to dinner, and a domain is created and claimed before I get back. 
Anubis, you do send it to the admins, and they send the broadcast.
Got it, thanks for the clarification.
Where is this Broadcast you talk about?
Btw I received no broadcast tonight.... any specific reason?
Just posting my interest... I kinda came in too late last game to have too much of an effect on anything, then RL got the better of me. But back and ready to go!
Got a few different God ideas, so I'll see what domains crop up?
In preference: Luck, Money, Trade, Freedom, Water, change, alcohol, that sort...
I'd really like an Air domain, myself. Let's hope.
Btw I received no broadcast tonight.... any specific reason?
are you part of the LoC group?
Where is this Broadcast you talk about?
As ff6shadow answered on the previous page, to me; press the "Home" button in the top left, and look just under "unread messages"
Thanks mate, however I'm part of the Loc group (since LoC 2) and I know where to find messages but I got none
It should actually be under "unread broadcasts".
So we have to PM an admin- not posting it on the OOC thread right? The PM is the ticket to becoming a member?
ff6shadow, a PM will be coming your way. I do know that domain creation won't be instant...
Xeadin, don't bother. The PM doesn't matter until the availability has been broadcast via the PM.
I see. So membership doesn't matter until someone claims the domain first.
Can't wait to see how this works out... as long as that link isn't rigged anymore... that was bad, but my computer works still...
Xeadin, a broadcast will go out when someone is ready to ascend a god of a certain domain. When you get the broadcast, you will have to send a PM to the admin who sent out the broadcast.
Sweet deal.
But the catch is only the first person to answer will get the domain.
So it's like a "First come, first serve" deal... high stakes in that system, but it makes sense.
It should actually be under "unread broadcasts".
Thanks mate, however I already knew that.... aradeia sent another test broadcast and I got it but the other (2 post shadow told me) left no trace in my unread broadcast (or red broadcast for what it matters).
I would like to join!
Name:Pakest
Domains:i was thinking i could be god of disease, healing, and medicine
appearance: a giant star
Symbol:a vial of bubbling liquid
That last test broadcast gave me a heart attack...

Read a bit more of the thread to learn how to get into the game. You probably won't get any of those domains anytime soon though, so don't plan out some great and epic story for your god. Just take the domain you get and play from there.
As previously stated, it's first come first serve in this system.
Put me on the list plz. Preffered domains include conquest evolution, and slavery. Not picky, though. I'll take about any thing.
Not picky, though. I'll take about any thing.
Trust me (the lucky newcomer who became the Earth God). This is the way to go.
EDIT: I mean, of course you should aim for your preference. But go with the flow if things don't work out.
Attention LoC watchers, later today there will be new domains ascended!
I'm not at liberty to say which ones, but if you keep an eye out for them you might just snag one for yourself!
Good luck aspiring players, and remember that if you don't get one tomorrow there will be plenty of new domains to claim as the game goes on.
Cheers!
~moondoggy
In other news, I'm losing one or two players from my in-world PbP exploring the goings-on beneath the city of Terena, a major metropolis in LoC2. If anyone wants to join in, please PM me for more information... we're not too far in, so you won't have missed much at all.
Well even with such a long waiting list, I will apply to be placed on the list as well. The concept of it is just to good to pass up and should be alot of fun.
Spots filled.
Also, I've added a small section to the guidelines page on the wiki on how to post PP expenditures... with the daily PP system, it is harder for us admins to keep track of how many PP you have left, so please use the format specified to help us out and keep us from getting all grouchy, which noone wants :D
*jumps on the god bandwagon*
Name: Brinn
Domain: Forest
Appearance: Currently a globe of earth and green stuff with random jags growing and falling.
Symbol: ?
Name: Lizt
Domain: ChAoS!
Appearance: Currently an amorphous divine spark.
Symbol: Hand with second and fourth fingers missing, leaving pinky, middle, and thumb.
Now I just have to figure out what it is I want to put there, anubis :D
lol! Well take your time I guess, can always fall back on twisted dark drinking vegetation or something
I'll post IC once I get back from work...woke up late.
Indeed I can. Its gonna be something fun... just trying to decide whether its going to be artifact or animal.
I forgot how often my network tries to eat posts :_( I'll try again after my next class.
I'm in.
hi it is me timmy506 sry i had to go afk and my bro typed those because earlier he got in trouble because he attacked me once again i am sry
.
Hello, still watching and waiting, although chances of getting in are slim, die to the fact that I'm not on the computer much.
I have the same problem eklag, though I am on slightly more than you. :P
Is chat down for anybody else right now?
Yes
Chat is back
All you gods, come down and pet the Puppy.
Just a heads up, I've got a short term goal for my go of ascending all four elements. So, I'd appreciate if nobody ascends Air or Water before me. If somebody else has to for their concept, perhaps we can split the costs, as I'd at least like creation to be involved in ascending the gods covering the four basic building blocks of creation.
More domains coming tomorrow.
How charming!
Any bets on how long they'll last? I'm going for 2 minutes.

The four? You're well on your way to completing the Chinese elements! (Earth, Water, Wood, Metal, Fire)
Good point . . .
I wish broadcasts had timestamps...
I think I'll go suggest that now.
Name: Hrinori [hrih-NOR-ee]
Domain: Water
Physical Appearance: A Dragon Eel -- Relatively stout, powerfully muscled; think 3.0 MM picture.
Symbol: Sacred Lotus Blossom
So Sorstal has a sister, eh? Intriguing.
Heh. Nabbed water by 3 minutes, and I see Light within 30 seconds of it being posted. Right place at the right time I guess...
Name: Maibe
Domain: Light
Appearance: A white, winged serpent with a thick mane of pitch-black hair growing out of her thick Draconic skull. Maibe looks more or less like a more serpentile dragon with a long body and small, crooked legs. Her eyes glow constantly with the power of two suns.
Symbol: A lone, closed eye painted in black surrounded by a white star.
Ok, I will be jumping at every broadcast without checking to see if it has already been taken. Sorry, shadow.
Gah, heart attack there.
Not a problem .I expext it . . they really should add time stamps to broadcasts
Hmmm... I was responding to Veok in the IC thread, yet Aldii seems to have responded instead. Curses, why did they both have to be serpentine? What to do about this mix-up? 
Talk to both at the same time. The question seems to be aplicable to both.
Obviously, Sorstal will soon be compelled to continue the serpent motif.
A snake pantheon!!!
A snake pantheon!!!
Perhaps only the elemental gods. :P
Also, how do I get the Mibbit chat to work?
Problem solved. Just juggled a couple words around. It's open for either to reply.
Veok, you were created by Lohak, not Grawlf.
And Veok, to get into the chat it's here. Just type in "#loc" for the room name.
Man, you guys have been really busy while I was at work. o_O
And I think Hrinori and Brinn are gonna be best buddies.
For anyone who had trouble with it earlier, Chat seems to be back on line now.
Just for clarity's sake, I would like to ask that everyone just list their PP total along with their expenditures. I know a lot of people are already doing this, but I just thought I'd make it sort of the general rule. It would make everyones' life that much easier.
Should we list remaining PP even if we don't make an expenditure in a post? Because I haven't done too much since creating Agon, and I haven't been posting my PP in those roleplaying-only posts. But it's no problem; I'll start including it even when I'm not actively using it.
Personally I just include a running tally on the first post of the day to note that I got another PP, then only reference it when I spend it, but that's just me. I'm not 100% what the official stance is on it.
Should there be a wiki "scanner" page? Show all the gods' power levels, gets added to by one person daily, then players can take what they want. Allow for negative ones, in case a player posts before the bank pays up?
I'm not sure about a 'scanner' page, I mean I for one have no idea how strong the gods are in comparison to each other at the moment. And spawning a superior creature costs 2PP, not 1... which is unfortunate, because the slime planet is an awesome concept I must say.
You guys are all jerks, ditching Brinn.
I haven't gone anywhere! And as far as I can tell, Sonel and Sorsten are still hanging about as well. Those other folks are jerks, though... you're right :D
Nope, Sonel left me alone at the end of his post and went to the other gods.
Poor Brinn, lonely.....and she's both Forest AND Harmony, for crying out loud! You guys are working together with out the most together person!
Oh... thats a problem. I thought you were there with us.
From Doggy's post:
Then the god turned to Brinn, his daughter and patron of the forest.
"My child, my friend. I need you to remain here for a time and take care of these lands. Create something wonderful, something with beauty that is worthy of you. I promise I'll come back soon. The new planet will need forests too, someday. Be a good girl while I'm gone."
The god then flew up to where the gods had gathered, floating next to Grawlf.
"Okay, I am ready whenever you are."
Apparently not.
Oh, I see where the confusion came from. Sonel was talking to us, then floated down to you, then back up, and I imagined that you were 'below' as in 'several feet down' as opposed to 'on the surface' down. Lets get you back up with the rest of us.
Perhaps Brinn can make use of the newly created, Mt. Sonnarian.
And Topheh, for future reference, it's Sorstal, not Sorsten.
I'm sure she will.
Lord Manshoon, your last PP expenditure is invalid. During the first age, Mold Land (Lesser) is a 4 PP action. Flavor it as you will, but I see it as the gods simply do not have enough experience and fineses with their powers to comkpl;ete such lesser actions so easily.
Actually, now you that you bring that to my attention, while I did make a mistake, the action still seems valid. I didn't take into consideration the +1 PP for a new day, which brought my PP up to 4, so altogether that brings me to 0. So I did have the PP needed for such an action, even if I'm spent at the moment from doing so.
It was invalid as a 1 PP action. As long as you are willing to spend the full 4, thats fine.
Actually, wouldn't it be a medium-level use? The 2 PP normally? It says a mountain range, though, so maybe it's a matter of scale. That'd just cost you 3 PP, though, right?
And now we wait for group 2 to find Lohak.
It's Lohak.
And it would be 3, if he had created a range, but he only create a single mountain,
And now we wait for group 2 to find Lohak.
All I need is Sonel's input. I'm ready to go, but I don't want to drag Sonel along myself to advance things.
Die, demon, die!
Or non-exist. Whatever.
It's Lohak.
And it would be 3, if he had created a range, but he only create a single mountain,
Oh sure, blame the typo
Typos are a serious matter.
A note: The stars I made are in actuality the game history page on the wiki. Anubis and Doggy, this means that anything you change in the stars will reflect in the storyline as well. At the moment, anubis, I am doing as you wrote and ignoring your birth, your creation of the shadowfell and calling you the 'void' when I have to. I'm also creating a subpage for the constellations and one denoting exactly what is being removed. If both of you could keep me abrest of any other changes you are planning on making to the 'official' storyline of the Lightvoid, let me know and I'll be sure to incorporate that.
So... any new domains gonna come up soon?
wouldn't you like to know!
(yes, more coming soon)
There seems to be some confusion. Sorstal is currently speaking with Lohak, as of page 11; neither myself nor ff6shadow has since made a further post (at this time). Sorstal's already filled him in on the basics of Grawlf's plan, and is waiting for his reply. Yet the actions of Grawlf and Sonel seem to suggest they are unaware that Sorstal's taken word to Lohak. I'm aware that Grawlf and the Sisters have more they want to discuss with Lohak. I'd just like to point out where the two of us are, because it seems to me like people believe we're in two places at once.
I'd like to be a minor-ish deity. Or Major, if I can get the Law domain. I'd like Stability, Truth, Honor, and/or Oaths as my domain(s). [Edit: Especially stability.]
[Edit: I think I don't post this (the form) yet, actually.]
Ah. You're right. I got it a little confused. Will edit accordionly.
Could someone post about the World in the wiki? I'm having a hard time reading through 9 pages of story. Well, maybe I'm just lazy.
Although, since I have little else to do, I should go keep reading now.
Its not in finished form yet (big... and unexpected! deadline coming up tonight... but take a look at the game history page... its got a summary of the first week's worth of activities, and will be updated hopefully weekly.
And if you think 9 pages is bad... when I joined last instance, I read through 97 pages :D
Also, I am aware that Sorstal is with Lohak *nods*
Yey finally in as air, but I'll post my god tomorrow after a night of rest (and a day of work /cry).
see you tomorrow and have fun ;)
Name: Sku'byss
Domain: Corruption
Physical Appearance: In his preferred and original form, Sku'byss appears as a child with purplish skin that shifts between shades of purple. He has yellow, luminous eyes, and his mouth has viscous looking fangs.
Symbol: ???
I got a domain :D
Three Gods in one night. Wowza.
Name: Kouru
Domain: Truth
Physical Appearance: A large white humanoid of the palest marble with piercing blue eyes.
Symbol: A single eye with an open book spread behind

You must have really good PM-fu. I PMed Topheh about 2 minutes after he opened the domain, and I still didn't get it...
As a note for those of you who were despairing that you'd ever get a domain...
The PM rushes we'd been getting are slowing down... corruption and truth both only got two PMs each as opposed to the... I think... 11 in 5 minutes(?) I got for secrets. Look for more domains coming up soon... although we'll need a day to get us some more PP
Congrats to the newcomers! Sorstal is both watching and waiting for the new Potential to be realized.
People need to help Hrinori finish the two planes! (2/8 PP spent)
Name: Eshcal
Domain: Air
Appearance: in the fury of the storm, the caress of the breeze or the aerie stillness in the hart of cyclone, there is Eshcal, the god natural form is invisible, perceivable just as a sensation. Should he need to manifest in a visible way he assume the shape of serpentine dragon with for feathered wings or of a finely dressed humanoid with "weird colored eyes" and occasionally two pair of wings.
Symbol: No fixed symbol for now (as there is no living beignt that can assing meaning to a symbol), in theory it will be a feathered serpent or just a stilized lightning.
Yes! More serpentine elemental gods! Woo!
(Now we just need to ride LordManshoon's back :P )
hehe I'm still not sure about the form (hehe snake form is inflactioned at the moment so I think I'll keep the cuatl like form as a placeholder for now).
But... Zo-Att just became a coatl...
Honestly I was the first to come up with the idea, but now I don't want her to be serpentish since everyone else is doing it
So I'll go for another (yet to define) form ;) I'll steal on some other mytological symbol for Eshcal :p
I came up with the serpent-idea two months ago.
Hmm...I really do wonder why there are so many serpents this time though.
Nontheless I will switch to a humanoid form during Age 2.
humanoid looked a little to early for me too anyway hehe... another alternative might be a chinese dragon (but it still "serpentine" after all...)

4 months ago here
Although I'm not changing, so I guess that works fine.
But I was the first one to post *about* a serpent goddess. Besides, Hrinori exists in my own, homebrew universe, which has existed for ~3 years. I think I have you all beat
what about this (from DnD old demon lords pazuzus, thx doggy for the suggesion hehe)
@ArenTrel: You know I followed you, right?
Thats fine..
Whoever gets the Life domain tommorow had better be an active member and willing to help Brinn.
You could come up and help forest Lor'quhan in the meantime!
Ventnor, you were literally seconds too late.
Ventnor, you were literally seconds too late.
For what?
The Domain... your posting-fu was just... slightly lacking.
I suppose I'll have to step up my post-fu, then.
You could come up and help forest Lor'quhan in the meantime!
I'd love to, if my forest wasn't getting destroyed every two seconds. Bleeping destruction and corruption gods.
And....did Aldii seriously just get to pay 3 PP to do 3 mold(superior)s?
Oh, and Ventnor-he's talking about the Truth domain, not the Life, if that's what you were thinking.
Whoever gets the Life domain tommorow had better be an active member and willing to help Brinn.
Btw I'd be willing to help (as soon as I manage to discover your existance hehe :p) maybe a shield of air (its time that the worlds gain an atmosphere hehe)
Life broadcast out
At last! My time to shine!
Name: Khitis

Physical Appearance: A swarm of insects that can assume many forms.
Symbol: A stylized insect, taking flight
congrats for the domain ;)
Dang it! Stupid school sysrem interfered with my plans of getting a domain again! Oh well. Congratulations.

Good things come to those who wait, eh, Ventnor?
Be sure to come join us in the Mibbit channel, Vent, that's where we get a lot of work done.
Veok, your Mold Lesser action in post 330 is invalid, as Mold Lesser costs 4 PP during the first age.
Lord Ventor, your 2 PP Spawn Moerate in POst 333 is invalid. Spawn Moderate is 3 PP in the first age
Veok, did you notice my message to Hrinori in my last post? Just checking. If you've time for the chat, I'd be happy to discuss my plan.
I have a nasty habit of starting a post, getting sidetracked, and then finishing it some time later.
You posted in between those two times :P.
No problem. Stuff happens. I saw your out of PP, so if you'd like to wait until after midnight EST (hour and a half), youcan delay until then.

Heheh... yup.
Lord_Ventor, saw you leap in and out . . plentyof us on the chat . . just give a few moments for responses before leaving. When you first enter the room, it auto-labels everyone as idling until the post. Seven of us there right now, actually.

I wasn't aware.
I modified the post to add one more PP expended.

I missed that Spawn. Gonna go check it out.
Btw later I'd like to ascend a god of dreams is it ok? (and is anyone interested?)
I'm not, I've got enough to do.
Btw later I'd like to ascend a god of dreams is it ok? (and is anyone interested?)
Air + Earth = Dreams? I don't see what we can draw as inspiration, but I'll help if I can.
Hey now, Aldii -- two things
a) that bit was in secret tags for a reason
b) the stones hadn't traveled that far yet. (I explictly mentioned their slowness)
It would have been unlikely I would have claimed them anyways, but I haven't gotten any broadcasts on domains since Light.
Yeah, there have been reports by a lot of people about not getting the broadcasts. I've gotten them all, myself, which figures since I already have a domain. Ff6shadow and Doggy were discussing what to do about that, I believe.
Yes massive, there is some issue with the broadcast, after air I got no other trasmission too (and I missed a couple in between) for this reason shadow is posting the domains in the OOC thread too (he has done that starting with life after he was reported that issue by many players)
hehe I was thinking about dreams as it look like something as aethereal as air hehe so I guess it will be hard to make with support of material things (earth and stone for example) hehe... Anyway I think I'll ascend the new god alone (drawing from Eshcal own dreams). Anyone interested in taking that domain?
I can think of at least three who would, Nerdzul.
Also, you should come to the forest and talk to Ankirega.
Later when I'm back home I'll do both things (wake up and ascend the dream god) and than talk to the forest keeper.
Which one? There's three and a half: Brinn, Ankirega, Cragnas, and Agon.
whoever finds out that I'm there :p
You'll have to show up first.
well hehe I have shrouded the world with the atmosphere I bet that one day or another someone would notice :p
Hey now, Aldii -- two things
a) that bit was in secret tags for a reason
b) the stones hadn't traveled that far yet. (I explictly mentioned their slowness)
I am sorry about that, I just thought they were a little faster and that Maibe probably would have noticed them sooner or later and therefore would eliminate them and I didn´t see any real point of why I would wait with that.. It´s just that Maibe´s world has some things to do before it gets destroyed.
Did you have plans to use those stones for other things the wrecking horrible despair and destruction? If that is the case you could always say that a couple of the stones survived Maibe´s attack.
Btw later I'd like to ascend a god of dreams is it ok? (and is anyone interested?)
I wouldn´t mind trying. I can see Maibe as a mother of a god of dreams.
Just to toss in my two cents. The Dream Domain might not come about so early considering other then a god now and then, nothing is asleep. Unless I am mistaken and you aren't talking about the sleep related Dreams but more of Dreams as in things you wish to accomplish.
It can be both it will be extremely limited otherwise :p
Which one? There's three and a half: Brinn, Ankirega, Cragnas, and Agon.
I'm wounded that you would forget Khitis as well.
:p

You're making some assumptions on what effect the rocks would have :P.
Besides, Maibe doesn't even know about Lor'quhan, or that it's covered in poison, rock, and ice -- she left the gathering before those things happened.
The rocks will not destroy Maibe's world.
Nontheless she still has the power to recognice big, rocky things that are able to hurt her realm when they are passing by right in front one of her own creations. The Sun.
I wouldn´t mind trying. I can see Maibe as a mother of a god of dreams.
Oki so I'll pay a visit to Maibe as soon as I have finished on the forest world ;)
Sounds like something I'd do. Anything on timing? Especially as I seem to be asleep when most everybody else is on.
Can't tell the truth to lie?
What about telling part (but not all of the truth). Lieing by omission? :P
That's more a secret than a lie.. though admittedly still benefits the Silent One. He's too arrogant and sore at having an opposite introduced where before he had free reign to admit it though.
To something that I never answered on the chat:
I am usually available on a computer between 2:30 ET and 6ish ET on weekdays and rather unpredictable hours on weekends.
I can has less incestuous romance novel please? :3
Oh, hush, it's important character development.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: I am currently in the process of creating the PP Expenditures page on the Wiki. This means that I will need to have every use of PP recorded. Firstly, if anyone finds a use that I did not cover (which is certainly possible), please either record it in the Wiki without telling me it needs done, or let me know without changing it yourself. Doubling the information would not be a good thing. Furthermore, if anyone would like to keep responsibility for updating their own character's usages on that page, please let me know and I'll leave you to it- otherwise, I'll plan on updating everyone's myself.
Are people still watching this, waiting for new domains to open?
I know of at least three who are: Ekluag, Xeadin, and Wizdude.
Well, some of them can be happy, for the Dream domain is now available for the first taker.
PM me to claim it.
Is Dream domain up yet?
Apparently so- PM Toph.
I spent a long time responding, so he posted it while I was in the response screen. Oh well, up for the lottery.
I've noticed something. I believe Superior Spawn is being misused by some players. Superior Spawn is level 31+ creatures, very limited in numbers, each one able to fight on even footing with a god. I noticed one today that made me think top bring it up. I don't beleive it's the first, but it definitly caught my attention. Are Nerdzul's Sun Falcons really a Superior Spawn? Is each and every one able to fight even with a god for a short time?

As a newbie, I was under the impression that SS only brings one creature into existence. Hence why Agon is unique. I know I'm not really guilty of this misuse, but it sounds pretty out-of-whack if even a few SS-level creatures can be brought into play in one go.
It's not set to exactly 1, but in general, it's best to keep it that way. My personal guidline is that level 31-32 is no more than 5, 33-35 is two to three, and 36 and above is unique.

Hey Ventnor, Khitis does realize that Brinn fell unconcious as soon as she got out of Sonel's soul, right?
It's not like she was trying to ignore him.

He doesn't realize that, though.
Even if that wasn't her intent, she still left without explaining what was going on to Khitis, and that kind of hurt his feelings.
You could ask Puppy.
Just a heads up, Toph? You went back and forth from eight spires, to six towers, to eight pillars, to...
I love synonyms as much as the next guy or gal, but now I'm confused -- are there three separate objects, two of 8 and one of 6? Or were they all the same, originally being six and you missed the one in the revision?
Hmm... indeed. Let me double check that. Should be 8 of everything. Thanks for noticing... I went back and forth too many times, I guess!
Maybe they should be both eight and six...and neither.
Shush, you!
Important Announcement:
Every so often, the admins will award a player who has done something for the game (good RP, good wiki upkeep, etc,etc) with a PP reward as thanks for making the game truly great. We would like to announce that the first such award has been given to shadowhntr! We'd like to thank him for all the hard work he has done with keeping the wiki updated to such an amazingly comprehensive degree.
Enjoy, Hunter! You have an extra PP.
Whoo, thanks!
I'd like to thank all the little people I've stepped on in my life, and....um....thanks!
I went to make a page about the demiplane I created, Kurshek, and I goofed. Can one of the admins delete the page I made? Because I couldn't figure out how to.
Is anyone intending to ascend any more domains? We do have still have players waiting after all.
Lets see what happens with water (if shadow reply to me) anyway maybe I can make a new ascension if I can find someone interested to help hehe :p
Hey now -- why are YOU making plans for water?
I"M the one making plans for water. :D
Hey now -- why are YOU making plans for water?
I"M the one making plans for water. :D
You said you suspended it. Lohak nabbed it, didn't he? Unless you discussed something with ff6shadow ahead of time, I'd say anyone's plans are on the table. But that's just how the situation appears to me, the spectator in this scenario. *goes and shifts around the mountains of his new demiplane*
Water was supressed. He still has it, its just not active for Hrinori . . Lohak also has water now. . . another note, Water cannot be ascended. A domain can be claimed by as many as would like it, but can only be ascended one time.
I actively discussed this with shadow, and in fact, the version in the thread is the 3rd-ish revision.
The end result was the creation of new terminology: suppress domain. Think what Demeter does in Persephone's absence for an idea of what we were going for (if you're familiar with greek mythology anyway).

Moondoggy and I plan to ascend a Moon god pretty soon. I know someone else had mentioned having designs on Moon as well..

Ah. Say no more. Just curious as to what exactly had transpired.
Broadcast is out.
Can I have balance?
Broadcast out.
Two domains up, but it doesn't seem like there's been the usual swarm. Slow night?
Seems like both people who got them vanished right before their confirmation
God Name: Avalokama
Starting Domain: Balance
Appearance: (for now) What seems to be a floating orb, "made" from a crystalline substance, with colors shifting from black to white. In the orbs center rests a Pentagram, made up of all the colors of the prism, and some never seen by mortal eyes.
Holy Symbol: A five pointed star representing the balance of the elements.
Please go back to the General Jelly Jiggler avatar. I couldn't stop laughing.
If I could find the season 1 intro movie, here is where I'd post a link to it. :P
I sent out a broadcast regarding the Madness domain yesterday, and still no one has answered me, so I'm guessing something went wrong with the broadcast again. In any case, I'm posting here to say the Madness domain is open, and if you want to claim it, please send me a PM. Thank you kindly.
Pronunciation: nen-nah-vay
Domain: Madness
Form: A male human torso carved from iron with a jackal's head. Massive, leathery wings remain constantly protruding from his back, half folded. Rivulets of flaming drool slide from his massive, iron jaws. Where eyes would be, rough pits exist, slowly seeping a thick, noxious fluid.
Symbol: A jackal's head with human eyes sown into it's eye sockets on a field of white.
So, am I allowed to post now?
PM me for the domain.
Name: Ymalos (ee-MAL-os)
Domains: Moon of Yrie
Appearace: A floating orb of bright, white light.
Symbol: None so far
Both of your actions are improperly costed. Because of the current age, Mold Land (Lesser) is 4 PP and Mold Land (Greater) is 2 PP.
AnubisDread
Please specify the type of action you are using. In your case, it is Create Artifact (Modify)
Ekluag
Please seperate your Modify actions into two seperate lines, so we now which creature is whioch type.
...
Drattit.
I'll come back when I have less work to do, though!
Nerdzul, you're currently alone at the Isles.
hehe I had that impression :p well I'll make something at the islands and than move away :p
Nature is a moderate domain (Greater - Life, Moderate - Nature, Lesser - Forests, for example)
Aboleth11
You'll need to spend 1 PP for each thing you change ti white . . 1 for the moon itself, 1 for the lunar striders, ands 1 for the plant life (if any).
Aldii
It is Spawn Greater, not SHape Greater. Further, Spawns do not act as enforcers for gods. . . . they have a single task set to them (for example, Cragnas proetects the balance of nature, and the dragon hunter and I created keep powerful creatures out of my new world). Fair warining ahead of time, you'll need to be clear with the admins now what those lion spirits purpose is.
Shadowhunter
Plase retract your actions regarding Lohak and the Void. I don't wish to have it removed in that manner.
There is no 'Create Artifact (Superior)' action. Your last expenditure is invalid
Also, the PP Expenditures page has been cleaned up somewhat.
Veok
There is no 'Create Artifact (Superior)' action. Your last expenditure is invalid
Fixed.... but why not? Everything else has a superior action... >.>
Lord Manshoon

Strange. The wiki lists it under Greater. I'll change my post, though.
You'll need to spend 1 PP for each thing you change ti white . . 1 for the moon itself, 1 for the lunar striders, ands 1 for the plant life (if any).
The moon is already white but I will change the striders.
~Toph
Name: Bel
Domain: Fire
Appearance: Right now she takes the form of a roiling mass of chaotic flames that course ever onwards. Beasts composed of fire leap out of the flames at random.
Symbol: None yet.
Wow, I didn't think I'd be back in this soon. Well, here goes.
That makes me sad. I seriously PM'd when the broadcast was 4 minutes old.
WTB god.
Anyway I think that me and aldii are going to ascend a new domain this week (not 100% sure but still...)
expecially editing it with your current location. here is the link anyway: loclightvoid.wikia.com/wiki/Path_of_the_...Edit: Augh! THIS is my thousandth post? It lacks all sorts of awesomeness. Ah well. 2000, here I come!
loclightvoid.wikia.com/wiki/The_Susurrus
Looks like there are going to be two or three domains popping up before the weekend is done, for those of you still waiting.
PM me to claim it.
I checked back into the thread. You did not arrive at the meeting where the Silent One was given the obsidian rod until after he had made his massive alterations to the stars. Unless you can point tto another time where he used it, that you were present, or a time when somebody toldyou about it, there is no way you could know about the Silent Ones ability to hide the truth of the stars. Please edit any refernece to that effect out of your post.
Name: Hulzeddim
Domain: Travel
Appearance: A knotted ball of lines that look like roads. The roads are in constant motion, winding and twisting into new forms.
Symbol: None at this time.
Aldii, I still have a problem with this post - community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/758...

Maibe has been watching the skies since they have been created and has seen how every reference to the God of Secrets has faded away. I see that as reason enough that she suspects that he has power over the Stars. I changed the post though to be a little less "All-Knowing".
Nontheless Maibe has the ability to think and what he does is VERY VERY OBVIOUS to those that knows that he exists, is obsessed by keeping things secrets and has noticed that the stars works as a history book. A history book that a little now and then changes to take away every little reference to the god of Secrets.
Wizdude, Chapien, please remove any posts that involve you two talking through the Heart of Corruption. . . since I'm holding it, only I'd have recieved the message. Im not holding it out for the Sculptor or wizdude's god to see, so they shouldn't even know I have it.
Wizdue, on a seperate note, was that portal supposed to be from your current location to Yire? If so, it wouldn't be from the Chaos to Yrie, but from Verda to Yrie.
That'd be like saying Jupiter, the Jupiter-like planet.
- Spawn and Mold PP return to their usual levels (1-minor --> 4-superior)
- Templates are now allowed
- Shape Actions are now allowed
- Guide Actions are now allowed
- Shape Actions are inverted in cost (Greater-2-->lesser-4)
- Guide Actions cost 1 more PP than usual
So, if you have any more superior monsters or planets to make, now would be the time to make them.
1) Age 2 is officially begun.
2) The Worship domain (this should be a fun one) is available. PM me to claim it.
Edit: Still no takers. Going to sleep now. Good luck to someone
Veok, now I'm being like Other-Shadow...how the hell is a more combat-oriented exarch NOT a combat exarch, and provides Shape PP? He's vengeance, not....childbirth...or something.. Second, iirc, you can't use PP of a given type more than once a week, from an artifact or exarch. So your two shapes would be invalid.
"Two Exarch or Artifact PP can be spent in addition to your normal allotted PP per week, and only one PP of any given type."- quoted from the Wiki.
Anyway... Next week I'm not sure I'll be able to be online due to my job (that's the reason of my IC wall of text and blowing up all my points hehe) as I'll not be at home and I'm not sure I'll have access to internet for a while.
Today I'll try to update all my new wiki pages.
Toph I'll try to reply to the pbp today before leaving then if my turn came during the week feel free to npc me.
My future plans (that will have to wait for a while I guess):
Making the 1001 winds sentient (will a modify be enough?)
Creating a race of guardians for the deads (maybe an exarch too but I'm not sure about that).
Time to go for me. See you Around ;)
Asides -- I modified the artifcat into a plane so that point is moot.
- Domain is Taken
- Thanks for letting us know that you'll be gone, Nerdzul.
- As for the winds, its a fairly moot point, as modifying a 3 PP greater spawn would cost 2 PP, and creating a new greater populace would ALSO cost 2 PP. For the sake of simplicity... lets just go with the latter and use a brand new shape command.
Name: Draemus
Domain: Worship
Symbol: A Quill and paper
Physical appearence: A wizened, bespectacled old man, Draemus chooses to take the racial form of whomever he might be confronting at the time, or whoever they want him to be. He is an aspect of belief, after all. Notable is his constant possession of multiple quills and parchment...
One de-nourish equals a plague that kills thousands.
And also in the future, please ask before you are going to attack me. What you have done is quite impossible as Maibe would probably have stabbed you in the face after you killed the first one of her children.
Khitis, you only need to spend 2 PP on that combat artifact. You can spend the extra PP if you want, but it won't make it any more powerful.
I guess I misremembered a rule there. 1 less PP was spent.
**stands back to watch Maibe deliver many face stabbings**
It's one thing to be linke with failure and declare it's right arm a combat artifact . . it's another thin entirely to enter and act through it. It is still a Superior Spawn, meaning it is a match for a god in a fight.
I was wondering, if it would be possible, if maybe the same rules that apply to the Court could be applied to the Hall of Petitions, perhaps? The idea being that its a kind of divine post office, in essence, that would allow Gods to look over the prayers of their people in an easier fashion.
Also, everyone can expect a flurry of minor rules clarifications and refinements over the next few days, especially in regards to actions such as Maibe's destruction of Yrie's moon. For now, assume that, especially with a modify action, the moon is turned into a bunch of floating rocks, but each rock maintains its air and water and the like and can still support life. (Otherwise, come age 3, some god who doesn't feel like fighting a whole planet in mortal combat could just blow up the planet and kill all the inhabitants... which would be slightly off-balance.)
One thing that I can say for certain is that in the mortal combat formula, you should most definitely use the AGE 3 costs for the 'initial PP spent on creation'. In case you can't tell, the rules came together in multiple segments, and it was certainly never intended that a heroic-tier populace created in age 2 should be inherently more powerful than an epic-tier populace... that just doesn't make sense.
Aboleth, just a reminder that guide actions cost 1 more PP than usual in age 2, so you are short by 1 PP.

Fixed
Players can roll their own numbers if they'd like using the www.invisiblecastle.com site, which records the rolls so no one gets accused of cheating. I'm putting that up on the wiki right now.
On the same note, Aldii, there are two problems with your numbers.
1) The Dhoram have -1 nourishes, so their number should be (+3 -1 +1d6) or 2 +1d6.
2) As convenient as it is, you can't just naturally have a populace hate another populace or group of populaces... you need to guide them.
An extension to that... populaces should begin as basically blank slates. They worship you, yes, but beyond that... not much at all. If we start having pre-created differences between groups, I'm worried eventually we'll have some race that 'naturally knows how to build airships' or something silly like that.
The Dhorem got 8
The Dragons got 10
invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2333340/
That said, in this moment, the issue is fairly moot, as the Dhoram fought off the invaders. RP away, and figure out when you want the next 'round' to be.
Veok: In my mind, it doesn't even have to be that specific. A guide that says 'they hate them and attack them on sight' or 'they love the dhoram and vow to protect them from all harm' would be sufficient and work from here on out.
Nontheless, Aboleth, do you want to continue the war?
IMHO, only admins should be rolling dice, it's too easy to fake single dice rolls with external apps like that. (But that's just the cynic in me admitting I'd be tempted myself)
And Ventnor, slight problem with your post. now that we're in age 2, spawn costs are flipped once more, and modifies cost 1 less than the cost. So, as a superior spawn (Nerdzul, is it still a superior spawn or did you change it to be a greater spawn?) its 4-1=3 PP to modify them, or... if it got changed, 3-1=2 PP.
Also, for the same reason as above, I'd like to avoid having beasts that are automatically domesticated by a populace. Thats basically giving the populace a domestication tech for free.
So... no populaces that naturally ally with another populace and no spawns that naturally are the pets of a populace.
Oh, Aldii, while i'm at it, one *final* thing (today has made me think a lot). I don't think that a group should be able to determine whether or not a race was CREATED by a god. Worships a god, yes, sure, but just the act of creation... not so much. Plus, it gives you a bit more leeway. Wouldn't your Dragons hate a frost titan that worshiped Ymalos just as much as a troll that did?
I can't find anything else...
Edit: And the page doesn't even work in link form. I had to browse Toph's contributions in the first place!
You are more than free to attack Yrie though, but please give a better reason then some beings that no longer exist.
And you didn't make the first dungeon, Anubis. . I did :P . . . . the tomb of the fallen gods (really need a name there soon) is the worlds fiurst dungeon . . . epic at that. What adventurer doesn't want to raid the tombs of dead gods for their artifacts?
. Ah well, I'll just have to go for 'exarch that makes the most dungeons': sort of planning to turn the Brothers into professional dungeon builders, so to speak loclightvoid.wikia.com/index.php?title=N...
Your link works fine by me... And it probably didn't show up because its a category and not a 'real' page.
Heh, I see Aldii already found it. thanks!
I just wanted to point this out in case people were wondering if, when they made "progenitor races" if they included the regular, heroic races. They do not.
I tracked down my old copy of Campaign Cartographer and am prepared to make maps of various planets if people want me to. I just finished Yrie. Anyone who wants me to make their world of choice, send me a PM with the details.
Edit: Found a facinating site... take a look:
www.maplib.net/map.php?id=6741#
Anyone can add a marker, but you need to register an account to edit or delete one... so... yes. Our wiki can get this functionality added to it, so soon we'll have annotatable maps! woo!
Just wanted to clarify, these Noble Eladrin aren't actually Eladrin. These are powerful fey creatures that exemplify various aspects of nature and are an entirely different type of creature. In fact, Eladrin made later on in the game would actually be named after the Noble Eladrin.
I just wanted to point this out in case people were wondering if, when they made "progenitor races" if they included the regular, heroic races. They do not.
So they're basically 3.X Eladrin? :P
To tell you the truth, shadow asked me to point out the distinction, in case people get confused.
There's also the issue of who, exactly, is being attacked here. Its Bel's body but Zo-Att's mind :D
Anyways, I'll give everyone a few hours to aid the combatants if you want, then I'll roll.
Edit: When the database isn't down, of course.
Oh, and here are rolls.
Aboleth has 1 PP/day and 1 combat artifact, for...
4d16+2=42
Zo-Att has 1 PP/day and 2 combat artifacts, for...
4d16+4=24
Zo-att has lost, and has a -1d10 modifier to his attacks until the end of the week. He also rolls at an effective rate of .5 PP/day (2d32).
(Not that is matters, but I get a +6 for three combat artifacts)
She doesn´t know it. She is simply mad. It will get more obvious later on when others attack Yrie, she will refer to everyone that chooses to destroy her world or her people as Zo-Att.
Just as everyone she likes she immidietly considers as one of her children.
But if you want I can change that.
I have a fun report on a project I've been working on. Annotatable maps! Take a look:
loclightvoid.wikia.com/wiki/Maps
Hunter, you want me to do Renissa? Anyone else have maps for me to make?
Susurus. er. Ssusseruss. er. Susrus. er...
Isles of WONDER (not wisdom)
and Dhorem, not Dhoram. You lot are going to give me (and my perfectionism) a major migrane. Actually, make that present tense.
*Angry tic on forehead pulses*
:D
Cool.
I was one of the original players in Lords of Creation 1.
It's interesting, seeing what y'all are doing with the concept.
Though, it might also want to be claimed by another God, which might give me a chance for some interaction with everyone else finally, heh.(Darn Time Zones)
It was a lovely god to play last game. Lets do it!
And hunter, I'm very grateful to Xeadin for his help, but as it is his map, he gets all the suggestions as well as praise
Also, Lord_Ventnor, Spawn actions need to specify a specific creature, you can't just say "swamp things." You could say aligators, or giant dragonflies, or even living balls of muck that feed on excrement and fecal matter. But you can't just be that general and say "a group of things related to this."
Remember that divine servants are subject to admin approval, so... ask us first before declaring it thusly ;)
These look just fine, though.
Rules:
You cannot vote for anything you have spent PP on.
Do not vote for the creator of a creation if you want the creation itself.
Tie breakers will be determined by dice rolls.
All hail your chocobo overlords.
Have fun!
Also... Prod me to have a conversation with Draemus (In the Hall of Petitions or through the mask) or Lipsis. Heh... Darn Time Zones.
Holding off on the broadcast for Moondoggy's new god, as I have been asked to send both of those at once... and that it will make more sense that way.
But, we do have the god of undeath.
ARISE, SERVANT OF DARKNESS AND UNDEATH! AND PM ME!!
And Nerdzul, it's not necessarily the best article, because I've written 95% of them. It's best character/creation in IC.
But!
The twin domains of Luck and Peace are now available... it should be noted that Sonel and Brinn have taken a bit more of a... parental role in these gods... and have named them.
The god of Luck is named Aphale (for now) and is female(for now).
The god of Peace is named Shande (for now) and is female (for now).
As we all know, things in LoC can change (I'm looking at you, Ara... how many forms has Bel taken now?), but... at least for starters, this is what they'd like as the first actualy 'parents'
So yes. PM me with your interest in these two domains.
(A note, they are separate gods, so please do not say 'I would like the domains'... let me know your first and second pick :P)
And without further ado... dice rolls.
Ninneve's roll:
4d16=43
Ymalos' roll
4d16+4=26
From this, Ymalos has been defeated, and is at a .5 PP effective level with a -1d10 modifier until 3 PM EST next saturday.
Irregardless makes English majors cry.
Please, think of the English majors.
You come to an internet forum and expect proper grammar and word choice? You *do* know this is the internet, right? Home of 1337 and RoTaTiNg CaPs and PEOPLE WHO TALK LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!11111!!!!
Take your Prescriptive rules back to your papers, English Major! They do not belong here! :P
Quote: "It is generally listed in dictionaries as "incorrect" or "nonstandard"."
And I know my crusade may be futile. But with my beatstick of grammar, I shall strive to better that portion of the internet with which I become affiliated!
There are lots of words that don't get put into the dictionary for whatever reason, and some nonsense words that for whatever reason do (eg d'oh). Besides which, since around 1961 it's been cropping up in dictionaries as an official word, even if it's still rather controversial (some dictionaries even blatantly state 'use regardless instead').
Also, you may be a grammar nazi, but I'm a vocabulary nazi, and will not let you dismiss a perfectly adequate if somewhat oxymoronic word so others do not have the capability to utilize it
Name: Fo'jadr
Apperance: A skeleton of my choice sewn together by fire with darkness shooting out
Domain: Undead
Holy symbol: a skeleton hurling fire from its mouth
o by the way i spend 2 PP to make armor made of darkness that can pull dead bodies to me and bring them back to life to help and makes me look like a warforged from DDO
Intentions: create a giant army of undead to eat all things living to build my army

You used "utilize" on purpose, didn't you, ya jerk. :D
So yes... please edit.
PM me to claim.
Happy Hunter?
Sorry about not voting for the Hall of Fame last week, I intended to think of what to vote for for a while and misjudged the amount of time left before I had to vote ^_^; Though since the Brothers won I'm not complaining, man they're fun to write for
In any case, I suppose this week I'll vote for... Cragnas. He's an oldie but a goodie, any environment that includes a rampaging beast of destruction in it's life cycle deserves an honorable mention.
Ymalos was in a terrible mood. His attempt to gain power over the strange beings had failed terribly. His influence was still stuck on the northern continent of Yrie. He needed a race that could travel the cosmos. Then he had an idea. He turned to the nearest troll and told him to go get him a live dhorem. When it arrived, Ymalos waved his hand and the struggling dhorem froze in place. Then Ymalos started to change the dhorem. First he touched her arms and huge musles began to appear wear weak flesh had been. Then he changed her hair to black and made her teeth razor sharp. Finally, he linked her mind with his. Then he snapped his fingers and a hundred of the appeared. Ymalos called out to them and said "I name you the maenads. You are my closest worshippers and you will spread slaughter and carnage through out the universe. You will be there wherever there is death! Now go out and kill!" Then he snapped his fingers again and thousands more appeared. The newly made dhorem stumbled around for a little while then one by one, vanished into the universe.
This makes them sound mortal. Though I can't be sure since I don't know what the dhorem are.
right click on the monster name, hit 'copy as image', then open up paint and paste it there before saving as a .jpg and then going to the wiki and uploading it.
Long story short, there is now only a single ethernet socket in my dorm room, and so I must share with the roommate.
Posting may be sporadic (if at all) over the next ten days. Just a heads up to any who were intending to do something with me.
Just made a statblock for an Ancient Sap Dragon, and it looks deliciously evil.
I've also added to Ankirega's statblock, now he's even more kickass.
Sorry angel, haven't had time to look at it, but my initial impression is that its quite good. Looks a bit like the death titans from MM... if those are the ones that carry around souls
Just reminding everyone on the waitlist that there are in fact two domains available this instant. Luck is one, and the other, which HAD BEEN peace, has been changed to 'Lore/Storytelling'.
Do Nixis v. 2.0 proud folks! PM Me to claim!
Seriously, what the hell does it have to be for it to be taken?
Um...Good domain could possibly be done... Animals, maybe... Mountains? I'm certainly not ascending a god of war or evil or anything.
It begs the question, though...where's the rest of the waiting list?
And Hunter, this game has a very long tradition of statting up monstors, homebrew or just modified.
I'd prefer people wait longer and lose interest than rush people in and make the game less interesting as a whole.
It's simple, really. We burned through the waiting list far too quickly, and now we are left with people who have lost interest. No one else really wants to join since We're at over 1,400 posts, which I don't think is all that fun to read through.
People didn't lose interest, and reading isn't an issue. Your domains are just god-damn boring.
Many others got domains they 'didn't want' and look what they did with them. The forest domain wound up interesting, for example. If you think a domain is boring, you should claim it anyway and make it amazing. I didn't want corruption initially. Look what I've done with it. I love it now. The point is, if you can't make a domain not boring and exciting for you, you're just either a. afraid it'll be boring the whole game and won't be able to do with it (poor excuse, anything can be made interesting) or b. just a bad role-player that can't handle all kinds of situations.
Not why I made the spirits, but it's still funny.
Further, let me paint a couple archetypes, so that my point is reinforced:
Luck: Tricksters are old hat, and the kind that is modeled after the Laughing Rogue has been beaten to death. Mediators, who are basically glorified intermediaries of a living concept, are a potentially interesting variety, but they clash with the setting and promote...err, power creep of a sort by creating quasi-overdeities. Fatespinners, who warp Luck to bless their beloved, are overpowered and thus unusable here. Those are the most basic types I can remember.
Peace: Hippies are out, of course. Goody-two-shoes are basically impossible to separate from each other, and defined by their other domains. Evil peaceful gods are possible, but once again would fit better as another domain (like, say, Stagnation). Peace isn't really used much just because it's not too interesting, and its counterpart, War, actually adds something while this one...doesn't, really.
Storytelling: This one is interesting and has a lot more potential. Obviously, there's the cliché charlatan, who spins yarns that would make Jan Jansen proud. Then, a potential creator, who basically uses their creativity and makes all the fantastic tales come true. Another one is a doublethinker, someone who creates false stories so convincing people accept them and they eventually become real. I was actually tempted to take this, but decided against this since I'm already doing something pretty similar elsewhere and don't trust myself not to repeat stuff.
Hope this clears the reasons I consider the domains boring a bit, and why I'm holding out for something else. One is a dead end, another one has limited approaches due to how it would make for an overpowered god most of the time, and a third one is actually interesting but I can't take it for unrelated reasons. >_>
PS: Incidentally, of all the domains mentioned, only Forest seems meh to me. All the rest are wide open to creative interpretations, and I honestly wouldn't mind trying them, for instance.
PPS: And trying to make something you dislike work just out of "welp, I HAVE TO DO THIS NO EXCEPTIONS TIME TO WRITE FOR THE TRADE" is something I personally consider a terrible idea. What is the point of doing something on your free time if your heart isn't in it? You'll tire of it and make the experience unfun for other participants, after all.
Hmm...actually, this gives me an idea or two. I'll need to sleep over this, but I'LL BE BACK. Possibly with a good enough concept to play. :P
Just been reading through the lightvoid wiki.... And mass-mentions of Drae-'metagame'-mus.
Why so?
Its been pretty explicit he has no knowledge of what goes on in anybody's petitions. The Watcher's do, but have no ability to communicate it to anyone, purposefully, or any contact with any world outside their own, small chamber, especially not with Draemus.
Lipsis' Mask functions, essentially, like the Coat of Eyes from Eberron... In game it would probably provide a bonus to history and religion checks, maybe a small form of resistance.
It lets Draemus see the world through another's eyes, because he'd never leave himself... But Lipsis can't be in multiple places at once... so...?
Domain Peace
Name Lakieth
appearance Slender elf with rapier and always werars a green top hat with a pitch bllack robe and whtie hair
unfortunatly, the peace domain isn't available... my fault for not changing it on the front page. It got replaced by the storytelling or Lore domain. Are you interested in that one or the luck domain? I can also ask the original ascender if they'd be willing to switch it back to Peace for you.
1pp Created minor domain Writing
Name: Durenghast
Domain: Luck
Description: Streaks of golden light that circle around a light yellow haze. The haze transforms into other forms as needed, but the streaks remain constant.
PS: Also, wrong thread dude. :P
2d16+4d8+4d4+2=49 :Brinn
4d16=41 :FIRE MAN!
Armisael, you are approved. . . . .feel free to being posting.
Good. Now the only thing I need to do is read through the wallz you people post while I'm asleep. :P
I guess now is the time to mention that I too will be travelling over the next two weeks. Although I intend to be logging on and playing... I won't be on for hours at a time.
So... yeah.
You know Doggy doesn't really have any internet at this point, right?
Hmm. I must have missed that. Guess I'll have to wing it somehow.
We've been talking for some time amongst ourselves about the tech system, and what a horrible horrible beast it might become in the future if there isn't some way to Document the creation of 'Cultural Contact' or 'Trade' between two groups. We've decided that trade is established with a PP action. If you look at my latest post, I have officially established the trade relationship between the Grotto and Casaka, and spent PP documenting that this has occured (in this case it was a nourish action, but a guide would be equally valid). If you have already created such a bond between your group and another, please make a similar action in the near future.
This change will eliminate a great deal of confusion over the workings of techs in the future.
A few notes as well (all of this will be up on the wiki soon)
1. Groups that form out of another group (a race, a nation, etc) will automatically have a trading relationship with their founding group(s), barring circumstances that would make this unlikely (apostate groups, rebel groups, kidnapped and sent to another plane groups, etc...)
2. Assume that groups that are added to your nation maintain a relationship with their original group.
3. Perhaps there will be a note 3, but I haven't thought of it yet.
I interpret and look at the posts whenever I can, but... if we could all try to keep our expenditures crystal clear, I would be very appreciative.
Thanks!
Cost to modify is always 1 PP less than what you are modifying into, rather than what you are modifying out of. Spawn <--> Populace works, but no other things work.... don't go turning your populaces into artifacts or some such nonsense
Nope... look back a couple of pages and I say the exact opposite.
Cost to modify is always 1 PP less than what you are modifying into, rather than what you are modifying out of. Spawn <--> Populace works, but no other things work.... don't go turning your populaces into artifacts or some such nonsense
Suddenly I have a vision of some errant god turning an entire race into an army of terra-cotta artifact statues.
But I digress. Finally got my laptop and internet issues fixed. (LIVE, video card, LIVE!). I think I'm going to tackle the 150+ new posts later tonight. :D
I MESSED UP ON THE EXPENDITURES. HERE ARE THE ACTUAL NUMBERS.
Brinn thought Bel was madd and killed her using a ultmate bow of +50000 Awesome God Smiting and drank her blood turning into a vampire lol and then claimed undeath and killed timmy's god and ruled the world forever like the tyrant she now was and then killed zo-att after she fought back for a week and crowned her throne with the desroyrs' head and lived forever.
This post shall live forever. FOREVER! Delete it and I will be very cross.
Adahan watches from the great beyond, interested in how someone seems to be displaying similar actions to him.
((No, he's not coming back, don't worry. :P))
I already have claim to the "Renewal" domain. Is "rebirth" sufficiently different from it? (especially considering they were both claimed as moderate domains).
And yeah, rebirth and renewal are different. Its all moot till Ara actually spends the PP on it, anyways
Timmy, I'll get on that today... have a few gods that need to be added.
I'm considering making the Ankir (heroic or epic) divine servants... to what extend are their guide actions free? Is every action with Guide in it's name free, no matter what?
Hunter, any 'go here do this' guide action is free (the typically 1 PP guide actions). Techs are still the same cost.
Also, I'm travelling again tomorrow (to my parents instead of my in-laws, so odds are I will not be on at the time for new turn-edness. As of this moment, everyone is the same except for Zo-Att, who is up to 1.15 PP. I'll post a full update when I get back on the internet.
~Toph
Also, does a modified race automatically join the nation it's parents were in, i.e. Blaze/Ash dragons? Or is that a seperate action?
And to Nerdzul: If you'd like to teach your Aszhari shamanism, feel free to spend a pair of Nourish PP to establish a trade link between your nation and The Grotto. With the new system, we can actually do that now, without me having to give shamanism to anyone I encounter.
Oh...and what base power is the phoenix race that I made from the Immortal Flame?
See you later and merry christmas ppl (even if its a little late hehe)
Anyway, this battle is something Aradeia and I have worked out before hand. You might not want to spend PP to attack her in addition to it.
I also would like to know where you specified that you were following Bel at all. You cannot just retroactively say that you were following her all along. That's too close to the omniscience we were trying to avoid. I suppose the deaths on Lor'quhan were enough to draw your attention and lead you there, but you do have to specify it as thus, and as far as I can tell, you don't have much reason to be following Bel and the Sculptor, especially since they teleported.
Then again, I may be mistaken, in which case, please enlighten me. I like being enlightened.
OOOhhh.
I'll just go fix that now....
I go offline for two days and everything goes to hell. What. A. Surprise. :P
In other news... have a new laptop now, so it'll be touch and go for me the next few days as I move everything over. Turn info will be out... as soon as I catch up
1.15 PP/day Brinn (30.1),Dvrgr(28.9),Lohak(27.6),Eshcal(16.3),The Silent One (16), Zo-Att (2.8)
1 PP/day The Sculptor (91.2),Maibe(78),Bel(71.6),Ymalos(66.8),Shry(66),Sku'Byss (53.1),Nenneve(49),Draemus(26),Spower(10),Durenghast(3)
Bel and The sculptor are now dead, yes?
Apparently so, Toph. Bel certainly is.
Yay for deaths #2 and #3!
What domain would that be (assuming it's not already taken by Timmy)
Storytelling is...hopefully still up for grabs. We had an one-post newb post once with it, saying he created a plane or something...and he was a grizzled adventurer who raised the other adventurers that don't exist...something to that effect. So, HOPEFULLY we can say "sure, have storytelling!" Ask Toph or Ara, because Other-Shadow would likely say no. ;)
Krika, Balance is a greater domain, not a moderate.
First thing on my docket for when I am settled again is to put together the tech web. Turn update should be on time tomorrow, but at the moment, nothings changing. See you all then!
Are you actually dead or is the sculptor coming back?
Also, in case anyone waiting in the wings missed it, or has failed to join the LoC group so they could get broadcasts, Storytelling has been rereleased. PM me to claim it.
.Name: Cru
Domain: Storytelling
Appearance: A small creature, roughly child sized, though distinctly un-child-like. Looks like numerous peices of burlap and other materials stitched together and stuffed with some unknown material to form a humanoid form. It is unknown what his face looks like, for he is terribly embarrassed by it, and covers it with a mask that is impossible to remove by any but him. He changes his mask quite frequently, however, reflecting his changing moods and desires.
Symbol: A mask, any mask. Also, small dolls made out of anything the worshipper has handy works well too.
Domain: Balance
Physical Appearance: Kel'Zora as a tall faceless humanoid with smooth black skin like stone. He wears thick leather clothing made of unidentifiable animal hide, and carries a large double bladed axe. He also wears a long cape that seems to be made from the same kind of stone as his skin,
Symbol: A skull with no features broken in half
PS: BTW, could you log into Mibbit? There's something that needs to be discussed.
Sorry I was gone all day, I had work and then went to a friend's house till midnight.
..... *Bump*
:bump
Damn... this maybe?
/bump
Ugh...
Oh! There we go, all good
are for kids!Does anyone have any ideas for new epic races? I don't really know of anything in the manuals that I'd like to make, but I want more regardless.
Hm, epic races, epic races... my books aren't with me at the moment (I'm moving... so apologies if I can't contribute as much as I usually do for a little while ^_^; ) but there must be a bunch. Formidians are epic aren't they? Or are they paragon... are hydras sentient? I suppose that's redundant, it's LoC, we could just make them so heh... angels haven't been made yet have they? Nor have death giants, I've been meaning to make them myself but I can't think of a reason for them yet.
I'm down with that, as soon as a good IC reason pops up.
Incidentally, anyone want to volunteer to have their races brains eaten by Ithillids? It functions like trade due to the 'inspired' babbling Ithillid technology before they turn... albeit trade where one eats the others brains...
Does sound interesting though.
@Toph -- Is Casaka in the Northern or Southern hemisphere of Yrie? It's kinda important...
now thats an interesting idea. Who wants to make the kirby-race?
Is this a necessary question?
(>'.')>(^'.'^)<('.'<)
Last game and for the first couple months of this game I served as game historian, writing down a summary of the week's events so that new players could join the game without having to read through the entirety of the IC thread. Unfortunately, my schedule has become much busier than it was last summer, and I have fallen quite far behind. I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to help me catch up. Basically, it would involve reading the thread, picking out important events, making a list of those and then turning the list into a paragraph or two to describe what happened that week.
If anyone is able to help, I'd be very very appreciative.
Thanks!
I am gone for a couple of weeks and just look at the threads....
Hundreds after hundreds of posts...
And only hundreds? At the rate we were going, it certainly feels like thousands.
(psst, aboleth, you shouldn't have mentioned the denourishes! she might not have noticed!)
Hi everyone by the way!
Also welcome back.
And there is always the "wake up from a deep sleep with no idea whats going on" strategy to run with if you want to wake up.
Or join the waiting list for a new god/goddess.
Also, you may want to comment on how your creatures are dealing with the undead menace swarming over Yrie :P
Maibe is back as a baby! I would appreciate it if someone would be willing to pick her up and raise her, it will probably give you a free ally for a couple of weeks!
I kid I kid, I doubt the Silent One is exactly the kind of parent Maibe would go for. Also, welcome back Aldii. Sorry about the whole ravaging Yrie with an army of undead thing... wow, Yrie is pretty bad off and the demons haven't even come yet...
It would be nice though if someone could add all of these massacres and so forth to it´s wiki page!
I just wants to play something else than an overprotective psycho mother
EDIT: Never mind
Damn straight. They were about to be existinct. 1 PP left and all. And Aboleth, never see you in chat anymore. Where you been?
Busy
I have a lot more time now that the holidays are over, though.Aboleth, you cannot use an artifact in the same turn you made it. Your fountain won;t be usable until Sunday. Please edit that part of the expenditure out of your post.
Also, you may want to comment on how your creatures are dealing with the undead menace swarming over Yrie :P
OK. I will re-post it tomorrow.
images1.wikia.nocookie.net/loclightvoid/...
Welcome back aldii btw :p hehe I liked Maibe, shame she is no more....
nice map toph, btw there are three aszhari "nations" now, the dominion that is an organized nation, a loose and nameless federation of hunting clans that are close allies with the spirits and the Hand of Ranjan that is a a sect of blood priest with the Jeraca (vampiric living azhari) as armies.
And... up there are things that have connections... we have something like 70 populace-groups now, but as 50+ are races, I'm not including them (unless they have techs) or anything without connections... it'd be WAY too convoluted. You've seen the list that developed last game
Hey guys, lets watch out for OOC information creeping into our IC posts. I know that Shadow plays both Fury and Sorrow (not to mention the other three), but in game they are wholly separate entities... a family, if you will. Sorrow is the most powerful after taking on Lohak's spark and is considered the oldest emoticon. To say that Sorrow destroyed Yrie is untrue. While Shadow did spend the PP, it was Fury, not Sorrow that was present at the time (I will note that PP expenditures are also somewhat OOC information. While yes, Fury was the one that spent the PP to blow the planet, IC, the fault meanders from Ravnos to Anubis to Fury). Saying that Sorrow is the 'source of all our problems' is pushing it as well, although I let it slide at the time as it came in the midst of a wall of posts reacting to it. If the Harbringer didn't know anything about the emoticons before Anubis told him about them, then by what Anubis said, the Harbringer has no way of knowing that Sorrow is nominally 'in charge.'
Its like you come home to see that someone burned down your home and when you figure out who did it you go and shoot his sister. Its revenge, yes. Probably makes you feel good, but the sister didn't really do anything to deserve it aside from being related to the guy. As we've already spent PP, we'll see where the chips fall. But I'd like us all to watch out for the dangers of metagaming... it sneaks into our minds when we're not looking and grabs ahold. I was looking back over the thread a few days ago and saw a few spots where I had blatantly used OOC information as well, so I am certainly not innocent in all of this (it was relating to the emoticons too, stupid things!).
Lets just keep in mind that the IC explanation at the moment is that the emoticons are primal forces of the universe given form. While OOC they are Shadow (Sorrow) and his exarchs (the rest), IC they are a family. Granted, an obnoxious family that likes pushing buttons and hanging around to watch planets explode, but a set of individuals regardless.
Fury's intended action (enraging the trolls into attacking the titans) never had a chance due the the critical timing of Yrie's ancient body awakening. And of course, being so old and decayed, it ccouldn't handle the stress, imploding on itself.
I'm going to state this flat oout now; IC, Fury did not destroy Yrie. He was present at Yrie when I spent the PP, but the PP was merely the natural result of Anubis's spell drawing to it's natural conclusion; the reanimation of a corpse far too ancient and decayed to handle it.

"I had Fury Spend the PP to destroy Yrie, but Fury didn't do it"
Seriously?
I might buy "Fury didn't destroy Yrie intentionally", but he is still the most culpable.
@ Aboleth; regarding your last post, I was under the impression that the lunar striders were extinct because of The Silent One's worldeaters.

Thats just it. A PP expenditure doesn;'t mean you did something. It means you paid for a mechanical effect to occure.I could pay 1 PP to de-nourish the Grotto of Verda right now, even though nothingof mine is there, and say it was a drought. It meant that iut happened, not that I had anything to do with it.
And Fury spent the PP, because I'm treating each of them as their own being, even if they own the slightest aloleghiance to Sorrow. Fury spent the power, but he didn't actively do anything.
And no, combat rolls are delayed for 24 hours to allow others to aid one side or another.
Edit: Aboleth, Lunar Striders are exstinct, courtesy of Anubis's World Eaters. Additionally, you can move your rqaces to the mopon free of cost in this situation.
Sorrow: 2d16+4d8+2d4+11=44 vs. Veok: 4d16=48
Sorrow: 2d16+4d8+2d4+11=46 vs. Maibe: 4d16+8=39
Sorrow: 2d16+4d8+2d4+11=46 vs. Zo-Att: 2d16+4d8=47
Seriously, though? I agree with you guys about the destroying things because you can get away with it... this is all utterly ridiculous. "You feel the way I say you feel, and also you can't blame me for something I did(n't) do."
Well here are the rolls for the three separate battles people:
Sorrow: 2d16+4d8+2d4+11=44 vs. Veok: 4d16=48
Sorrow: 2d16+4d8+2d4+11=46 vs. Maibe: 4d16+8=39
Sorrow: 2d16+4d8+2d4+11=46 vs. Zo-Att: 2d16+4d8=47
The house always wins, I see. >_>

What's funnier is that Ara tried to cheat (I'm joking :P ) by giving me a disadvantageous roll.... and I still beat him. :D
Or, y'know, we could de-create each of the emoticons.

...No comment.
(The capitals mean I'm yelling)
Okay, so, either out of extreme laziness, forgetfullness, an unwillingness to search through old posts, an intense desire to be unique, and/or all of the above, this reset post will be unlike all the other reset posts that came before it. Hooray for individuality!
This is a reset post. If you don't know what that is, the what the hell are you doing playing this game! Get out! Out I say!
But I digress, this is a reset post. If you don't know what that is, then go find out, cause I'm certainly not going to tell you. Go ask your mother. Or your dog. Or better yet, don't ask anyone, and just sit there, nodding and smiling, and pretend that you know what the hell I'm talking about. Trust me, it'll be easier for everyone.
So now for a list of random names and numbers. I am not going to tell you what they mean, which means that you are going to have to guess. You can pretend that they are some sort of grocery list. Or maybe a list of children who are part of some sort of skewed educational system.
Please, whatever you do, don't start assigning random meanings to these numbers. That is a sign of a severe mental disorder. Wow, I just realized how offensive that could be interpreted as being. Please don't hate and/or sue me. If either of those things happen, kindly enter your complaints below, and I will either suggest to you where you can shove your complaints, or retract my statement at once, depending on how I'm feeling at the time.
So, without further ado, the list:
1.3 Dvrgr (1.3%)
1.15 PP: Lohak (92.1), Brinn (89) Eschal (84.6), The Silent One (67.3) Zo-Att (41.3), The Sculptor (12.9), Shry (9.7), Ymalos (3.9)
1 PP: Maibe (88.6), Sku'byss (82.7), Nenneve (77.2), Cru (39.1), Durenghast (36.1)
Now, make of them what you will! Huzzah!
Does your keyboard have a backspace button?
Edit: Found it, post 901. It's not listed in the wiki PP expenditure page though.

Okay, let me just say that I was very tired when I wrote that, and thus can not be held accountable for my behaviour.
Also, after the way I was acting on the chat last night, are you really surprised?
I see 2 to blow it up and 2 to have the area flourish. Which part indicates that the tomb and/or the remains shoul still exist?
The point is, I've left the whereabouts of Lohak's remains undetermined; If Lohak's remains aren't there, they just aren't there, not because I destroyed them.
loclightvoid.wikia.com/wiki/Techs_by_Nat...
I'll probably be updating it once a week along with the weekly reset as thats when I put together everything that happened for that week.
Next up, catch up with the game history... still taking volunteers to help with that ;)
Moondoggy says hi, as well.
YAAAAAAAAY!!!A) There is a button that allows you to delete your posts. Clear the extra.
B) Anubis exterminated the Lunar Striders. They don't exist anymore.
C) 4 PP Actions (should be labeled as Mold Land (Superior)) are forbidden without admin approval. Yes, Toph approved, but if you read his entire post, it's feasible as a 3 P action, not a 4.
Aboleth, 3 things

A) That button doesn't always work for my CPU.
B) When and how the hell did he do that?
C) Why should it be a 3 PP if I want it to cover the whole planet?
B) He had the World Eaters land on the moon a while back. Search for his posts with World Eaters to find the exact date/time.
C) Your moon is not a 4PP structure, its only 3PP... so a 4 PP underdark would be larger than your entire moon!
and in an unrelated note, talked to Moondoggy again and he told me to pass along the number he can be reached if anyone wants to talk with him. I don't really want to be posting it here where everyone can see it, but if anyone is interested, PM me and I'll send it back to you. He sounds like he could use some people to talk with.
Reset might be a little bit late tonight... doing 'online office hours' for my kiddlings and don't know how insane that's going to be.
So... its not on the wiki (sorry), but as it turns out, you don't need to teach individual classes to races anymore. If you want to exchange that tech for something else, feel free.

*changes first post*
bad Toph, Bad!
And hunter... yeah. I was hoping you'd be around last night so I could tell you to spend a SINGLE PP more ;)
Techs and Trades are updated. I'll try and get some of the actual story done today as well. Then, when thats done... hmm, don't know what I'll do then. Anything else people want tracked or the like with the game?
EDIT: My bad folks. Just realized I let a few races slip into the overall trade web between the Grotto/Casaka/etc,etc... table is fixed now.
Again, really sorry about that one. maybe I should just upload the entire document we worked out to the wiki and then we'll all be most assuredly on the same page. In fact, yeah, I think I'll do that. Look for it later today on the front page of the wiki.
*chuckles*
That at least would cut down on the number of populaces we have floating about... For those who want to know, 126 populaces have been formed... Shape or Modify populace actions have been performed.
Current Stats: 23 nations, 103 races.
Yes, I am quite bored on day 2 of my office hours ;)
And no, you don't have to nourish your populi every turn
I probably shouldn't be proud of this, but hooray for having de-spawned the only creature in the game
*sticks tongue out*
6 of the 6 modify artifacts are MINE! :3
(Maybe only 5)
Actually, is modify == duplicate? If not... aww....

FlyingFox, feel free to start posting at any time. You'll have 6 PP when you begin and an accumulation rate of 1 PP/day. When I made law, I just kinda sent it out into the void, so you've got full rein as to how that divine energy becomes yourself.
Welcome to the game!
Chappy, the whole purpose of the artifact is to protect Kahnda from outside intrusions. Physical travel is impossible if you can't phase into nonexistence at least temporarily, and the only way in or out is very unstable. What you're doing is basically saying "nuh-uh!" to the effects by creating a permanent portal...which the artifact blocks. It's like I went and implanted an Anti-Corruption artifact in the Body of Corruption, completely ignoring what it is. That's just not cool, man.
Does anyone have any ideas for what I should do with all my PP?
Continuing from the IC:

So you're saying the Whispergate that was on Kahnda before your artifact is now unusable as well?
I looked up the expenditure. It's a Mold Land (Superior) (illegal without admin approval in Age 2 anyways), that you only spent 3 PP oin (3 PP makes a Mold (Greater)). Regardless, you said it prevented physical travel and it's a mist around it. It is perfeclty viable that an artifact could surpass such an effect. It would take an artifact to prevent such a gateway, and such an artifact would prevent any and all portals that cost equal or less than the artifact.
FF: tbh, I'm not quite sure what action has to be taken to represent a veil of nothingness that traps people who try to fly through it in a void and makes most forms of travel not work, myself. And the reason 3 PP was spent is because it is, after all, a modification of Kahnda, not the creation of a new world.
If you've got any ideas on what would represent the veil better than a Modify action, I'm all ears.
So... yes. Much desupression going on on your part.
I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THAT.
Don't mean to be anal about continuity, but didn't the Sculptor change the whole 'Voiceless killed Sisters' message into 'the Sculptor is dead, Lohak did the deed' or something in order to prove a point?
Also, I'm sure Nerdzuls plans for the dragonborn will be great too, actually probably fits the concept of the race a little better than my ones.
Though I might be wrong altogether, in which case I'd be glad to edit my post.
I kid I kid hehBy my records, there was never an action to do it. I think it was a handwavey 'the message appears and dissappears' sort of thing.
This is correct.
Sorry AD. :P
No problem, my bad for being so nit picky on perceived continuity in the first place.
My bad for not having anything to post about.
Yes! Smash that fourth wall, smash it good I say! :D
Sometimes that fourth wall deserves to be smashed.
Otherwise, you'll be recieving a PM within 24 hours via the forums. Either way...

Oh, sorry, I was going by a definition of casualty I learned in an old video game when 10 or so Though I suppose the Glukons WOULD define a mudokon running into a meat grinder as a mere casualty... they're not very nice armless people.
...cookie to anyone who gets the reference
Ara, I meant to mention this to you before, but its fine. He already had the domestication tech, he was just using it. It matches up with our rules for techs
yap, that was the point of the nourish :p
I'm done with LoC
Everytime I post it seems more and more forced, like this is a chore rather than fun. I'd write a final post or something, but I don't really know how. Zo-Att is gone, and I have no other way to express that.
Sorry if this inconveniences anyone.
I put up a new thread on our forum. I'm interested in talking about whats working and what isn't in the game. Please take a moment to post. Thanks!
community.wizards.com/lordsofcreation/go...
Veok, what happened to that last post of yours?
I wonder why btw... after all the appearance of civilization shound enhance not reduce the option for role playing... My opinion might be a little biased however since I dislike gods drama and like more to shape things :p
Also we wasted the opportunity of a funny event with Yrie invasion, it might have being cooler with the gods playing their parts trough mortal proxies but with the big boom the fight was over (I never got to send my crusade of sorrow there /cry).
I think that maybe recruitment or restart mighr reignite the interest (even if I'm not sure that its a good time to restart... maybe we can wait a few month for that), in game I guess we can try to introduce some kind of conflict that is not based too much on direct divine involvment for example or find a way to get players more attached to the races that they created :p
Veok, what happened to that last post of yours?
It's around. I can find it if need be. Why?
People just seem to have run out of ways to make this game interesting at the moment.
Well, then lets make something for people to do then. I vote we figure out some way to get our people moving between planets so we can have some more varied interactions.
Giant spaceship flowers. Did you forget about those?
I thought those were more like giant space flower fixed gun torrent type things rather than spaceships? Or am I thinking of other space flowers?
As for me, I admit a lot of the reason I haven't posted much lately is real life getting in the way and burn out. I am working on trying to get a few things up and running though, like the goblins on Khendras... I think that's how it's spelled anyway
Why? Well, I was sitting down to type a response and it had vanished! Thats why!
Oh great. I *did* just invite the 'lets eat the life off of a world' people to the party, didn't I?
Also, Rocktown isn't run by another Blattaria, is it?
You could reply to my emmissary... the Vok'Dar have a proposition for the Trolls that might alleviate your problem *nods*
Could you do something again? Just this time make it a little more... noticeable.
On a completely unrelated note, what do you use to make the god relationship charts? I need something like that for a campaign I'm working on.
I use a program called Graphviz. It takes some getting used to the syntax, but once you get a handle on it, its pretty easy to use.
Hehe. Yeah, it was sorta buried in there, wasn't it? Its the same proposition I'm making to these other 6 races and that I made to the Foulspawn.
I use a program called Graphviz. It takes some getting used to the syntax, but once you get a handle on it, its pretty easy to use.
I've reposted the disappearing post.
Anyone else want in on this meeting? I'm afraid I only had so much PP last night
@Toph- yes, rocktown is run by another Blattaria... which I actually put as Blattia in the wiki, yay for typoing my own race o.o; And yeah, mayyyybe not such a good idea to invite the race that considers the universe a buffet
Just to warn you, I'm going to be quite busy until tuesday, so not only will my plots languish a bit, but the reset might be delayed... you all know the drill by now, though
Wow Aboleth. You *really* don't like those things, do you?
...Aboleth, in the interest of fairness I'm going to ask that you retract that last action. Not fairness for me, fairness to you. I have more PP than you, and get 2 extra PP instead of just one every reset. I don't want the World Eaters to die, and I will nourish them back to full, then counter attack against the trolls with my 1 PP left.
I don't want to get into a nourish/denourish war here, hence why I posted this warning.
EDIT: Besides which, how does a mortal have the ability to channels a god's maximum power??
EDIT le EDIT: Oh, he's an exarch... still seems a bit contrived though, especially because he has no idea where any of the World Eaters he's denourishing ARE.
Note: See my short essay on this topic in the group forum if you want further reading material on how to do wars the right way. Look here.
*cough*

He doesn't know where they are. He is still getting used to his power. I'll take back the part about killing most of the race, if you let me kill the delegates.
Yes, last LoC proved that nourish wars are a very bad idea, so I motion for Veok to retract that last action, and you both to go on and ignore this.
Note: See my short essay on this topic in the group forum if you want further reading material on how to do wars the right way. Look here.
I er... wha?
But yeah, I second the suggestion to retract it, it isn't exactly sportsmanlike after all. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but you would be pretty upset if someone did the same to you.
Alright, it was pretty bad of him to wipe out all of the World Eaters like that (okay, exceptionally bad) but I might have goaded Aboleth on a little by having the World Eater regenerate even though he put PP towards destroying him... kill the delegates, they'd probably just end up eating everyone anyway
EDIT: In fact, since there are only two of them and I agree with you killing them, feel free to do so without any PP Expenditure... and I think wiping out a race when you have no idea where it is is more than a little meta-gaming, but since you were retracting it anyway no harm no foul.
I am a little curious though, how would you respond if the Dhorem did this to the trolls? It's practically exactly the same circumstance after all, except you were active when the World Eaters chowed down on the moon.
EDIT le EDIT... again... I need to think of all these things at once, I really do: Shadow, if we don't teach classes or even power sources to races, what would be the equivalent to teaching the goblinoids divine classes? Divine Magic? Nourish a religious organization?
I don't know how I would respond, cause it never came up. Aldii was OK with the trolls eating them and by the time I started trying to kill them again, she was inactive.
Also, I'd like to formally propose that we scrap the current ascension system and return to the LoC2 method of self-picking domains in order to try and drum up some new blood for the game. Thoughts?
Also, for any former players who are lurking, please consider coming back or at least trying to play again for a week or so. We all hit massive amounts of burnout a few weeks back, but... I think we can get this to be a ton of fun again, and I don't want to just give up on it quite yet.
Of course, I haven't really been interested in LoC lately, but...ugh. I am so screwed.
So *thats* where you've been. WoW would definitely eat up your bandwidth really fast. Hope you get things worked out!
1 PP +1 (Codex): Shape Populace (lesser): Gnomes form from ants which have infiltrated the Great Library
...NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!
I kid I kid... I've had an idea for gnomes for a while, but it really didn't fit TSO's concept very well anyway. Plus I could always use.. kobolds or something if I really wanted to heh.
I was the gnomes in LoC2. Variety should be... important.
Don't feel you have to if gnomes are right for the concept man, I can't expect every race I want to be on the waiting list forever ;)
That said, it's true you had the gnomes last LoC... what is it with you and gnomes anyway?
They are now halflings.
Editted my post to include Desire.So, if there's no more comment on the rule change... I'll implement it in 24 hours. Again, I proposed eliminating the ascension system for self-ascensions of self-picked domains from now on.
hehe good idea :p I agree
I'd like to reach Verda eventually, but I was thinking of starting with Lor'quhan... mostly because Anubis and I have been talking for a long time about what might happen when an Illithid tries to eat the brain of a Manyu... or a Blattaria for that matter. Thoughts?
So, how's everyone been doing? And what all did I miss during my absence?
And... *chuckles* What haven't you missed? Its been what... four months? Make a god already!
[EDIT:]
Well, I guess I could make a God of Illusions.
Name: Kevmet
Starting Domain: Illusion
Appearance: Kevmet appears as an elderly man with a black robe that hangs down to his ankles. He has sharp, icy blue eyes and short, blonde hair that is brushed back. He has a tall physique, and has a stout attitude-- in general, he is outgoing. He is infamous for his riddles and puzzles that leaves others that he meets guessing. He is very easy to keep track of, yet nobody knows what dirty tricks he has up his sleeves.
Holy Symbol: A standard rectangular shape with bevelled edges, and an illusory image that looks like an old lady at one glance, and a young woman the next.
How's that, Topheh?
Here's a picture of Kevmet:
Reset has happened... I'll get updated points to everyone tomorrow... its been a long day
And again, points are coming :\
Waiting for you, ANubis.
Edit: Slight change of plans... I've been trying to think up something for the past hour and my mind is completely creavititied-out. So... 75% chance of posts happening tomorrow, not tonight.
So sorry to bother you guys... it's been a while since I've been on here, so I'm a little lost... again...
Soft minds sometimes need a little refresher now and then, you know?
And any idea how to add a god to the Wiki? I've been having trouble trying to add Kevmet to the LoC: Lightvoid Wiki...
There you go, Xeadin!
Eklu, I'm very curious as to where you're going with the goo-planet... curious and somewhat worried!
The game is dead and/or dying, and I think its about time we wrap it up. Posting has slowed to a trickle, and I'd rather go out with some sort of planned end than watch it limp along for another month or two.
So I'm thinking that next week's reset (not tomorrow, but the week after), will be the last reset, barring a sudden resurgence of interest. In that time, I'd love it if people could put some final touches on the game... put adventure seeds in, wrap up loose ends, etc, etc.
After that... well, we'll wait and see. Definitely give the game a rest and let us all recover before starting another iteration.
For those who want to know, these are my plans for what I'd like to do before this all is done:
1) The Vok-and-friends move on to Verda in my last post, leaving the end of the game in conflict for people to play with
2) Install and promote Ravnos as a false mouthpiece for Dvrgr
3) Really flesh out my Order
4) Create a more dynamic situation between the Quori and Eye-Kin
5) Send Karhedron searching for Kythandrin
6) Something big involving the Potentium, but... not sure what yet.
In the future please attempt to keep me in the loop as far as large mammals are concerned.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
The Offices of Moony St. Dogg, Esq.
P.S. Moondoggy! You're back!
...screw him.
~Toph
Veok: We should probably talk. I'll be on chat all day. Also, thank you for reminding me about the Blighted Spirits. I... forgot about them
They live to fight another day, it would appear. Veok, here's what I'm thinking.
I kill one/both of your exarchs (one being Harbringer, but I don't know that) And eat them all up. (yum!)
As the 'transformation' takes place, I have something I want Webweaver to do to Cragnas.
Then, the Harbringer destroys Webweaver from within and the hordes scatter.
Sound good?
So go ahead to step 2?
Well, finally got the courage to actually post here, so... um, yay
I have... no idea how long ago it was by now since I just dropped out, but I'd just like to apologize for doing so. Especially since TSO had his hands in pretty much everything that went on, and so his lack couldn't have made things easy... I could make excuses about how I started up a new course, and how work took off, and how I suffered a huge load of burn out, but plenty of other had the same issues and kept posting (kudos to them by the way, they deserve it). At first it was a few days off to take a break, then it was longer, then I was too embarrassed to post again after such a long absence. In retrospect I probably couldn't have continued on in this LoC as I STILL have no idea wth I should have done at that point in the game, but at the very least I could have blatantly said I was dropping off the radar and written TSO out of the game instead of leaving all his actions hanging out there, not to mention the people I was interacting with at the time.
So again, sorry. I hope this LoC ended up ending well despite my laziness.
Calling all would-be gods, spirits, primordials, and Lovecraftian Horrors!
Are you ready for LoC 4? So are we! Only one problem: it hasn't been designed yet!
Got an idea for a rule change? Want to vote on the workings of the world? Complaint about a previous iteration of the ruleset? Come to the LoC forums (link below) and vent your opinion!

This is our chance to smooth out the rough spots of the game we've all known and played! Plus, the quicker we can come to a comfortable consensus, the quicker we can launch LoC4!
It's not too late to redeem yourself, Anubis! Woo!
Anubis, glad to hear from you again. No worries about the burnout... such things happen. Come on chat soon, k?
Hopefully I'll get internet back for LoC4, I really loved it. 'specially early on.
To those wondering, planning on LoC4 is coming along nicely. If you're waiting for it to start, we hope to be ready to begin by the end of the month.
) but I guess LoC 3 had its own problems along the way... which is normal for almost every game made. You're bound to hit some hurdles in progress. I'm in the middle of creating a couple of games myself (well, one of them is complete; the other I have yet to finish...)I've also finished my first novel- Magi Chronicles: Bashiro Prophecies. You all can view it here.
Anyway, glad to hear from you again.
