LoC: WorldWarp
Updated: 6/27/10
"Lords of Creation” is one of the most addictive forum games you’ll ever encounter. You might recall one of the earlier versions here on these 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: The Wiki
You can find the rules here: The Rules on Wiki
And we also ask that you read these basic guidelines: Guidelines
The full set of rules may also be downloaded from : The Full Rules
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.

A (non-exaustive) list of domains may be found here: Domains
Name:
Greater Domain:
Moderate Domains (up to 2):
Lesser Domains (up to 4):
Physical Appearance:
Symbol:
Personality/Core Concept:
Special Rules for this turn:
Greater Domain: Corruption
Moderate Domains (up to 2): Luck, Games
Lesser Domains (up to 4): Aberrations, Grafts, Improvements, Symbiotes
Physical Appearance: He appears as a floating mass of undefined "stuff" at the beginning. As he finds advantageous physcial characteristics in creature's/races, his body will unconsiously mold to add them. Eventually he will look like a rather strange comglomerate of a bunch of races and creatures.
Symbol: Those who profess their faith in him do so by the grafts and symbiotes that he gifts his faithful with.
Personality/Core Concept: His greatest joy is to improve the creations of others. However, his idea of what is an improvement is somewhat macabre and disturbing.
Plane of Origin: Culthet
Name: The Monarch Queen
Major: Death
Moderate: Light, Extravagance
Minor: Dreams, Royalty, Wealth, Butterflies
Symbol: The Monarch Butterfly pattern. It can be incorporated into anything the worshipper wishes, and in fact, the more eccentric and extravagant the manner in which they do so, the better.
Plane of Origin: Mishway (or, in her words, the Flower Pot)
Appearance: The Queen resembles a somewhat plump sort of woman who isn’t necessarily old, but certainly getting on in years. While no wrinkles mar her round face, her hair is white and her body is by no means spry. But to really define the Queen’s appearance, one must merely look to the word that says it all: extravagance. The Queen wears huge ball gowns so cumbersome, she can barely complete even the simplest tasks, and in fact has difficulty with even base mobility. Her hair is piled high upon her head in a tall beehive of sculpted waves and curls so shiny and stiff, it appears as though a thick lacquer has been painted over it. But if that seems extravagant, that is nothing compared to the accessories she piles on. Necklaces hung with diamonds the size of a child’s fist circle her neck and her nails are not painted with nail polish, but rather studded with tiny gemstones. Though the general “theme” of her outfits vary greatly, the Queen has been known to wear such things as actual flowers, not only in her hair, but upon her dress too, and not just small ones, but rather vast sunflowers and huge orchids. She has even been known to wear living animals as accessories.
Concept: The Monarch Queen is an eccentric fairy-queen/rich British socialite and monarch rolled together with a Broadway diva and shepherd of the dead with a splash of Tim Burton-y goodness for good measure. She is off-kilter and weird and teaches her followers that, if they are extravagant enough in their mortal lives, she will throw a huge, British socialite dinner/tea party in their honour should they ever happen to expire. Then, after the party, should they so choose, they may “retire to the lounge” and, in essence, pass on for good.
Greater: Knowledge
Moderate: Strategy, Decay
Lesser: Architecture, Aristocracy, Books, Avarice
Plane of Origin: Culthet
Appearance: An immense, malignant worm, pallid and mold white calls itself Davos. Hundreds of meters long, Davos lusts after information, the more depraved the better. The Worm's head secretes a vicious slime, bulbous blue eyes staring outwards. Tiny, vestigial appendages constantly ooze an acidic ink at random locations along the length of The Worm, etching weird patterns into the stone as Davos travels endlessly through the earth.
Mortal followers of Davos tend towards scholars who's minds have broken under the strain of academic labor, elites who allow a lust for position and power to lead them to shadowed paths and unscrupulous practitioners of magic. It is, however, not uncommon for leaders of armies and hordes of soldiers to offer reverence to Davos, invoking devious cunning in the undoing of their foes. Every prayer, every oath sworn and sacrifice made in the name of The Aristocrat brings another fragment of his corrosive influence into the Third world.
Greater: Time
Moderate: Secrets, Language
Lesser: Rogues, Ruins, Greed, Traps
Symbol: A skeletal hand clutching a golden scepter.
Appearance: Deep underwater in The plane of bleakness, a tomb, a relic from another universe sits. Within in, the souls of those caught in its horrid traps twist and pulsate towards one another, coalescing into a shimmering, slightly slimy mass around a shard of extra-universal power.
Concept: Formed of the long-dead souls of thieves from another universe, the thing that is (Itja-Rek) is brand new. However, the conciousnesses of those dead souls that make up his body sometimes come to the surface, and as a whole has instilled a tendency to... acquire... things.
Major: Death
Moderates: Spirits, After-life
Minors: Swords, Butterflies, Gardens and Endings.
Appearance: The God of Death has many forms and will shift between them as the ages pass. His first and true form though is a winged man. No dress will cover his body at he enters the world. His body frail, pale and malnourished. His eyes will shine white and pure and his hair will be dark as the night sky. His wings will reach far and wide, five times the size of his body. Black as the night they will be and half-hidden amongst it´s feathers tiny stars will shimmer.
A robe will then appear. A garb fitting a man of finest breed. Silvery embrodery flooding down long arms, painting pictures of tiny flowers made my purest silver, birds in flight at his shoulders, a closed gate with three bars at his chest and a downspour of silvery rain under it. A crown will form upon his head made by finest silver shaped by an immmortal´s will.
Personality: Djaf is an agent of order. He has a purpose in this world and that purpose is to protect the souls of the mortal creatures he knows will come and deliver them to what awaits beyond this world. Other then that his purpose and meaning is a blank card that lacks opinions, goals and memories of what was he before he entered the world. If there even was a before.
Totem Animal: Butterfly
Totem tree: Elder Tree
Totem flower: True Forget-me-not
Colour of choice: Dark blue
Symbol: A gate with three bars.
Plane of Origin: Mishway
Major: The Seasons
Moderate: Destiny, Fey
Minor: Weather, Beginnings, Music, Stars
Plane of Origin: Mishway
Appearance: The God of Seasons changes with its domain. In the Spring, she is Syreene, gradually changing over the course of the summer into the masculine Sonnet come autumn, once more changing to Syreene over the course of the winter, the change becoming complete once more in spring.
Personality: As Sonnet, he is aloof and thoughtful. As Syreene, she is warm and loving.
Symbol: A segmented half-circle starburst of 4 colors (turquoise, green, red, white)
None! Be the next Lord of Creation!
World: Mishway (Will change if necesary)
Major: Change
Moderates: Luck, Dreams
Minors: Insanity, Desire, Music, Capriciousness
Appearance: Constantly changing, but if humanoid, he is always male with pure white skin. His three favorite forms are:
1. A 4-digit hand that's gold and spikey. Continuously flexes its fingers, almost in a way that makes it seem like it is plotting something.
2. A naked man with gleaming violet eyes and long, purple hair carring a red walking staff. The staff is in a double-helix shape that converges at either end. The man is always grinning as if something is off.
3. An old man with white hair reaching down to his ankles. He carries a dagger in his left hand, and has billowing black robes have shining white dots like stars. His face is always stoic in this form.
Personality: Caltabactos is completely and utterly insane. The specifics of his personality are dependent on his form
1. While a hand, Caltabactos never speaks, which makes it seem the most reasonable in this form. It points and gesticulates in a way that any other divine beings could understand its intentions by the way it points.
2. In his younger form, Caltabactos speaks almost completely nonsensically to anyone speaking with him, sometimes abruptly saying something logical, but then reverting to his strange speech patterns. In this form he is excitable and inventive, wanting to create new things, and see how it affects other populations.
3. In his older form, Caltabactos is in an almost-constant ramble about things that make almost no sense. He is very irritable in this form, especially if anyone interrupts his rants on nothing. When in this form, he is more focused on doing tasks that increase his standing in the world.
Symbol: An infinity sign, imperfectly drawn.
Concept: Completely insane, but has a strange intelligence to him. I somewhat want him to be involved in connecting the two worlds.
Major: Nature
Moderates: Insects, Community
Minors: Family, Hunger, Birth, Poison
Appearance: The Mother has two forms. Her 'true' form is a huge insect queen, with a bloated stomach squirming with eggs, puss drooling down her grotesque form. She bears resemblance to no insect in particular, rather seems to take parts of all of them to form some kind of grotesque horrible hybrid of all of them.
The second is a far smaller, human sized even humanoid form that looks a little like if a succubus was also an insect... an alluring, beautiful form that draws eyes and captures hears.
The Mother is under the impression both forms are equally beautiful, after all, they're both her. She acknowledges some races and individuals prefer one over the other however.
Personality: The Mother has very simple motivation: eat, breed, and protect her children. The world is her hive, and all the things she creates upon it are her children. Of course sometimes her children die, or are killed by others, it is the nature of things... in the same way a queen ant is not remiss when it's larva is eaten or one of it's workers goes astray, neither does The Mother care is some of her creations are wiped out. If, however, something were to threaten her very hive or an entire race or kind of her creations, her fury can be so great it can only be described as a natural disaster.
The Mother is also vain in the extreme... she believes herself to be among the most beautiful of creations, after all anyone who can create such beautiful children must be beautiful herself after all. She takes pride in her creations, beast or race, and values the simpleness of family and community... and loathes those that seek to undermine it.
Symbol: An large winged ant surrounded by a circle of inter-joined worker ants.
Plane: Cuthlet
Major: Control
Moderate: Secrets, Psionics
Minor: Machinery, Trade, Pride, Deception
Appearance: A brain with one central eye, a mouth, and several inky black tentacles.
Personality: Hulnaje' is an egomaniac hell-bent on dominating the universe. Although he originates in a sureal universe, he realizes that in order to acchieve ultimate power, he must tap into both madness and order. He seeks to bend all things to his will. He trusts no one, always has several elaborate schemes to exert his will on the world, and never, EVER lets all of his secrets out of his mind. he is willing to help other gods, but always makes sure they put up collateral.
Symbol: A brain with inky black black tentacles wrapped around humanoid hands.
Plane: Cuthlet
Greater Domain: Beauty
Moderate Domains (up to 2): Inspiration, Art
Lesser Domains (up to 4): Truename Magic, Literature, Theatre, Music
Physical Appearance: Upon birth Absalom takes on no definitive concrete form, instead allowing the world around him to flourish and form until he finds inspiration. In the meantime, Absalom exists as a cloud of energy that has characteristics simultaniosly possessed by all four stages of matter, within which flows and dances an ever changing series of patterns and colors that reflect the thoughts and moods of the Deity.
Symbol: The double double white alabaster masks of Comedy and Tragedy sitting back to back with each other.
Personality/Core Concept: Absalom is a God devoted to the Platonic sense of beauty that can be found in all things, though at different stages in his existence he might come to emphasize different aspects of it over others.
Starting Plane: Mishway
Greater Domain: Fate
Moderate Domains (up to 2): War, Violence.
Lesser Domains (up to 4): Victory, Swamps, Vengeance.
Physical Appearance: In his natural form, Ordek appears as a shapeable ball of pale, almost ghostly light. This light can be shaped into whatever shape Ordek wills it to be. The light itself is pale and does not generally cast much illumination. Ordek can also manifest himself in a humanoid shape which appears as a robed figure with a hat and walking stick, almost like a normal traveler. Almost, save for the fact that he is missing one eye and his only remaining eye is pale, looking almost exactly the same as his true form.
Symbol: A single flame surrounded by a black background.
Personality/Core Concept: When the universe was formed, there was an initial violent thought. From this thought, Ordek was created. Representing violence and the swamps he makes his home, Ordek believes that violence is the best thing ever and will do anything to cause it. He does not take sides in any conflict; rather, he simply instigates it and either watches or participates while secretly serving both sides. He also is the patron of Fate, especially when applied to war, and views himself as an instrument of fate in any conflict.
World of Origin: Culthet
It's awesome that everyone is so psyched to get involved with this game. That's great.
We're not going back to the "domain broadcast, whoever gets it gets it method" we had last game, but we are going to try and gradually sprinkle in players rather than throw everyone in at once.
The important thing is, if you're interested in joining, POST IN THIS THREAD. When we're ready to add new players, we'll use the order of the posts in this thread*.
*As you may have gathered, we're trying something new this game with the "Dual Worlds" morphology. As long as the worlds remain split (before the titular WorldWarp), admins reserve the right to delay players from joining if their arrival would skew the population distribution too much. After the WorldWarp, this won't be an issue.
Generally, we will accept people on Sundays. For more information on what that means for your personal ascensions, please consult the wiki.
Siliis (sih-LEES). Sil for short.
Domains
Greater: Insects
Moderate: Charm, Poison
Lesser: Transformation, Beauty, Community, Manipulation
Physical Appearance
A large, brown, eyeless slug with violet suppurating sacs on it's body. All gross and slick with slugjuice it burrows out of sight once it's born, using a proxy to carry out it's will.
Symbol
A hexagon circumscribed about a square.
Personality/Core Concept
It is a reclusive beast with an agenda and quickly uses the pheromones it secrets from it's sacs to influence the minds of mortals to do it's will. It doesn't want to be trapped in this form forever and longs for a more beautiful existence rather than it's current repulsive appearance.

Never fear those yet-to-be! More ascensions are just around the corner.
Name: Poliphas (Poh-LEE-fass)
Greater Domain: Creation
Moderate Domains: Invention, Protection
Lesser Domains: Blacksmiths, Runes, Lightning, Mountains
Physical Appearance: Appears to be a dwarf dressed in glowing white chainmail. Hair and beard are glowing blue sparking with miniature lightning bolts.
Symbol: Lightning striking an anvil
Personality/Core Concept: A cross between Moradin and Zeus. Will create a race on one of the worlds and set them up to defend his creations.
Home plane: Mishway
Name: Aaviz (pending. . . . not positive here yet)
Greater Domain: Knowledge
Moderate Domains (up to 2): Experimentation, Metal
Lesser Domains (up to 4): Artificers, Wizards, Machinery, Creativity
Physical Appearance: A figure of a non-descript race when viewed along, he tends to take on aspects and images of those around him
Symbol: Upside down hammer within a bottle

Starting Plane: Culthet
Welcome aboard, Kal!
Huh, looks like we have mostly old-hands, aside from you. Oh well, I hope you'll have fun.
Anywho, down to business.
Name: Harkon Armal
Domains
Greater: Water
Moderate: Civilization, Travel
Lesser: Forests, Caverns, Wind, Rain
Symbol: A spear being thrown into water. This is most commonly reduced a line representing the spear intersecting a wavy line that represents the water.
Appearance: A featureless globe of clear water
Starting Plane: Culthet
Concept: I will generally be working with a theme of "development" for Harkon. He will be starting out as a boring globe of water, but his physical appearance will evolve throughout the game, and I will be trying to have his personality and domains evolve as well. I suppose this is a little bit of a throwback to older LoC games, though in this particular case I have a decent idea of where I will be heading with him. The domains listed in italics above are ones that for the intent of RPing I will be "adding" latter; Harkon will only envision himself as "water" at first, though I hope to be maneuvering him towards the other domains over time. Those aren't set in stone, however, as he will be influenced by those around him.
EDIT: Oh, do we still need to PM the admins or is this enough for now?
Welcome, Kal!
Aboleth -- please list which plane you'd prefer to start in.
Been reading over the wiki that Thought's been so kind as to update. I don't know if Thought has caught this during the editting process, but I've noticed that Mishway has two gods with the major domain of Death. Now I realize that it's not on a "first come, first serve" basis anymore, but this is going to cause a bit of confusion. Hopefully this can be resolved peacefully, or we may just get to test out those divine conflict rules.
And yes, hunter! Hurry up and, well... hurry!
Nice to feel the warm welcome to a newcomer. Can't wait until Sunday so I can start.

Yes, both Ara and Aldii wanted to play gods of death in the same world. (Oddly enough they also have butterflies).
It is okay to have repeat domains, though as long as the two players can work it out peacefully, and neither Aldii nor Ara are known for being impossible to reason with
Nice to feel the warm welcome to a newcomer. Can't wait until Sunday so I can start.
Just to clarify, only those first six are cleared to post/ascend. So it might not be this upcoming Sunday that you end up starting. Don't worry though, it shan't be long regardless.
Domains:
Greater: Darkness
Moderate: Nightmares, Wilderness
Lesser: Fear, Hunters, Courage, Challenges.
Starting Plane: Mishway
Daxos is a considered by many a dark malicious god, or a powerful and uncaring faerie lord, he rule the darkness of night, creep in the shadowy places within the deepest primal fears of mortals and represent both the dangers of the night, the ones of the wilderness and the terror of getting lost and lone. Daxos, however, is also the challenger, he is far more content when mortal manage to defeat and channel their primal fear turning it into a weapon, then when his guiles and horrors triumph, for the god of fear Courage is not lack of it, but its mastery. He is a god ready to punish as he is to reward, granting dark boons of hyronic curses to those that manage to earn his attention. For him each monstrous spawn that that he creates is nothing but a test, something that, when overcomed, make the victor stronger and culls the weak.
Some prays to applease him, hoping not to face his gaze, others to gain help in finding their path in the wilds or within the darkness of their minds.
He is an entity ruled by fear somehow, that one day all the preparation that he has imposed on the world will become useful in some sort of terrifying conflict...
Appearance: Daxos has many forms, but he is not a true shapeshifter, somehow he is confined by his own domain. He can appear as a thin but muscled man, dressed in fine white clothes adorned with jewelry with dark black gems, his eyes are black with no iris and his ears nearly elven in apperance, his hair and well cured mustaches and beard are black as night. He also appear as a massive black wolf or cat, an hybrid between a mortal and one of those beasts, or a flock of black ravens. Rarely he looks like a knight whose dark armor covers completely his features, finally he can appear as a pool of liquid and oily darkness, when something manage to cut his skin the same darkness pour from it, making sages speculate that it is the god true form.
Symbol: Daxos symbols varies, however they almost always include a black orb or ring, for his more feral spawn it is a white fang impressed on a dark disk with the black somehow "eroding" the fang, for the others it usually is a white shield and a ring with a dark gem. More esoteric cults use simply an osidian orb.
Totemic Items and Beasts: wolves, cats, ravens, rings, orbs, obsidian.
Spells and sorceries inspired by Daxos usually employ components coming from a dangerous beast or acquired by risking something, including personal sanity, chants and ritualized prayers are less common than wilder dances and tests of courage in his cerimonies. Spells of his shamans and priests are usually inscribed on skin (including scrolls) and not in stone. Drugs that induces sleep or nightmarish hallucinations are not uncommon among those who woship him, dreams are the most common way to commune with the god and gleam some of his teachings.
And here I had this great idea for an overprotective and insular goddess of the forests... *whistles innocently*
Please list your preferred plane, Nerdzul.
I think Mishway
Do you have any proposals on what kind of actions I can do to make this possible without breaking the rules?
If it is not too late, perhaps mortal artifacts might work better? Those can be "portals" to other places; the "other place" that these portals would connect to just happens to be in the future.
Is that fine with you?
a) copy as text. You can then copy it into the wiki, but be sure to change the font to 'code/preformatted' or, if you're going straight to the source code, the tags.
b) copy as image, save to an image editor (windows has paint, which works just fine), save as a .jpg, upload to the wiki, and paste it in that way.
I'm talking with the wiki folks about letting us use a fast-upload tool... which, from what I've read allows you to copy an image directly without the whole in-between saving to your hard drive. I'll keep everyone posted.
As of this post, the following players are free to self-ascend their gods and join the IC thread.

The waiting list (post 8) has been updated to reflect these new admissions. Those yet waiting, never fear and keep your eye on this thread. Your time shall come soon as well.
(I replied to you and fixed the post a while ago btw..)
Em I not even in the waiting list? /so sad...
(I replied to you and fixed the post a while ago btw..)
Profound apologies. You are on it now.
If anyone else notices that I have left you off the waiting list, please, speak up!
Question: I noticed that the "Ascend God" action is still present within the rules (for a cost of zero). Is that action currently disabled (sort of like the Plane actions) or could one of the currently existing gods ascend someone from the waiting list?
After a god has been approved (like the 4 above), current players have one week to use an ascend action to bring them into the game. Otherwise, the players self-ascend after one week.
The key thing of import here is "approved". Players may ascend any approved god, but not all gods on the waiting list are "approved".
So since those gods listed are free to self-ascend, rather than needing to wait until reset, there isn't currently an actual use for the ascend god action, correct?
Unless one of those players wanted to work with an existing god to create a familial relationship, of course.
These first two batches got the option because there are still so few players. Going forward, early self-ascension is going to be an option. They'll have to wait the week or be ascended.
~A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
Guess nobody's perfect!
And also is there by any chance some type of map over the worlds?
@Aldii I believe Topheh is working on mapping programs. I'd suggest you pop into the chat and talk with him.
As for maps... I'm playing around with options. MapLib from the Lightvoid wiki is already enabled on the WorldWarp one. The main concern is how we want to go about the mapping... which I'm still playing around with. Once we get a better idea of what Culthet and Mishway look like in their present states, I'll see about actually creating a map or two... although the coming WorldWarp will make that irrelevant!
I'll post promptly, as soon as I catch up IC... sorry for the delay, I've had someone come over for the weekend, should be a lot more prompt after tomorrow or so ^_^;@Aldii -- you've spent a total of 6 PP so far; you should be at 1 / 6, not 3/6
@Anubis -- you've only spent a total 2 PP so far; you should be at 5/6, not 4/6.
On a totally different topic, does the Leviathan have any code words associated to it? It looks like its's free command might be "rampage," but I am not sure.
Name: Grimnit
Greater Domain: War
Moderate Domains (up to 2): Strength, Atonement
Lesser Domains (up to 4):Dwarves, Pride, Memory, Shame
Physical Appearance: Looks like a Dwarf with scars covering his body and a missing eye. His hair is orange and his beard falls halfway down his torso.
Symbol: A War Axe smashing through a mountain.
Personality/Core Concept: Grimnit is the lord of grudges. He prideful and would hold the smallest slight against the offender until it comes to be fixed in his eyes. He believes strongly in the power of violence to Atone for misdeeds and punish those who do not honor their agreements.
World:Mishway
I'd have more for personality yet...but I want it to depend on what happens if I get in. If I need to fix anything let my know, I'll probably be checking every day.
Does that look like valid info to add to the wikia?
Thanks
With that would 6pp worth of Tech just be three techs? I know this is already covered but I wasn't here when it was discussed. Also, Trade would only count as one nourish [becuase of the one nourished gained] right?
then the tech needs to be unique to really count, but yeah, 6pp would be 3 techs. And yes, again to my understanding, trade would count as a single nourish. But Veok or one of the other admins should be able to tell you with greater certainty.
The page I linked to early is mostly just a way to give players an idea of how much of an affect a nourish will have on a population. In the past there have been players who thought a nation was hundreds of millions strong while other players thought that the same nation was tens of thousands strong.
Thank you. It looks good to me then, and it helped me decide what I am going to do when I get in. I wish you luck with their approval.
Thanks Nerdzul. Kinda left you guys in a bad spot but I had move out when I got a job, and it's taken me a while to get enough spending money to get a laptop and pay for internet. Apologies for leaving without notice.
Just for clarification, 'unique' means 'unique to your civilization' not 'unique to the game'. Basically its to prevent people from stealing techs they already have via combat and double-counting it.
Thought, that looks just fine by me.
Graxith, welcome back!
Also, hello Graxith.
Speaking of which, things seem to be a bit slow in the IC thread. Almost as if more gods are needed. ;)
On a unrelated note, are there any other changes that were talked about that have not been put in the wiki yet?
By the by, I've been keeping up with things on my phone browser while I'm at work. I want to thank you guys for giving me something interesting to read on my break. I can't wait for my very own greenlight so I can start posting.
Keep up the good work. :D
...Okay, I'll stop.

You have from now until the 4th to reach an agreement with a current player to ascend your god. If none of the current active players have ascended you by 12:01 AM EST of the 5th, you are free to self-ascend and being posting in the IC thread.
Good luck, and good gaming.
((OOC note, I've decided to drop the upper case usage of upper case
This is the best typo I've heard in a long time
Hm, then I better leave it in there 
Ah well, know what I mean I'm sure heh
EDIT: Also, might I just commend everyone on the sheer insanity that is Mishway? When you make an official action to just make a gigadobbit with a crown on it's head, you KNOW that you've turned fooling around into Serious Business

Insanity is my business, and business is good.
Dear lord people, this is a public forum, there are probably, most likely, maybe some children present possibly, keep it in your pants. ;)
I strongly doubt any children who hang out with us are innocent anymore.
That's awefully nice of you, Aboleth.
Speaking of which, things seem to be a bit slow in the IC thread. Almost as if more gods are needed. ;)
Thanks
I'm back a day early, so feel free to ascend my.
Sound the trumpets, salt the herring, and pack the hookahs! The frabjous day has begun!
'Tis only a frabjous day if you are gallumphing with the head of a Jabberwock, sorry.
And what is *wrong* with you people? I ask for 12 posts before I get home from work. What do I get? 11! Honestly people. That's just rubbing salt into it.
A reminder as well: The Wood Waifs are a spawn, not a populace. They are like golems or the results of the unseen servant ritual -- they look humanoids, but decidedly aren't. They follow orders well, but are otherwise harshly limited by their intellect, and the fact that they are, in fact, still trees. Also -- no thumbs.
The more you know. [ShootingStar.gif]
Oh woe is Veok. Only 11 posts. Someone get it group therapy sessions.
Feel free to stop by. We'd love to hear from you. ;)
A question to the Admins: If one wanted to create a "disease," what would the appropriate action/cost be?
Thanks, Mech.
A question to the Admins: If one wanted to create a "disease," what would the appropriate action/cost be?
A "Thought" experiment, eh? Well, the simplest method is a 1 PP denourish. "Plague breaks out in Middle-lands, killing tens of thousands!" Works fine for a one-time thing, but I'm thinking you're looking for an uncontrollable "disease", that sweeps across nations.
If you want this kind of disease then, you're looking at a Rampaging Superior Spawn for 4PP. Not all Superior Spawns have to be Gargantuan level 30 abominations, like the Tarrasque. This will still be a Gargantuan mob, but with Incorporeal and Swarm. Of course to represent the difficulty in fighting an Incorporeal Spawn, I'd give it the Combat ability for 2 more PP. Then, it needs a trigger for moving. I'd give it a 25% chance of moving to a neighboring nation each week. (A Nourish(Trade) with the "infected" nation would have a 75% chance of moving the "disease" to the trading partner.) Voila! For 6PP you've got an unstoppable nation killer.
Of course, this is unofficial until admin approves it.
I'm pretty sure we both know that, we're just trying to hammer out exactly what sort of relationship the two have, and the environments each thrive in. At the moment, it's a fairly predator prey relationship, but less like snake vs mice, and more like wolf vs moose or something. Well moose might be taking it a bit far, but it's good to try and get down the dynamic.
Incidentally, they're TRILOBITES, not TROGLODITES
... we nixed the 3 PP major artifact category.And Thought, I think that if its just some normal form of disease, its mostly just fluff. If you want it *really* scary... maybe define it as a 'template' of sorts (2 PP?)
Oh, Chappy and I were thinking Nagas for that race we've been talking about... just to get that out there.
or
???
Also, for anyone looking to fill a particular niche in an environment or who just wants to browse for monster ideas, check out this site:
monsterfinder.dndrunde.de
Its got all the 3.5 monsters in it (or, at least, summaries and pictures... you have to buy the books to get the full details)
Good link!
Chappy, waiting for you... I've got a cool idea to finish off the creation of the nagas, so... dump in your PP and I'll finish the task.

I would like to start in mishway but either is fine, escepally if some one is willing to ascend me.
Mathius
Mecha -- I believe the appropriate action you are looking for is "Spawn Template".
Mathius
Thanks, I am about half way though the IC posts. They make great reading. Can I start playing if I find some one to ascend me or do need to be approaved of the waiting list? I was not clear on that. I will get to start on Sunday if I am not ascended right? I do not mean sound impatient, I just not clear on the next step, I do not want to go into the chat room and find some one to ascend me before I am allowed to do so.
Mathius
Yes, you must wait until you are approved before you may begin (Sorry, :/). Keep an eye on this thread for future updates!
Will you allow me to change my symbol and one of my domains?
I would like to change Tyranny to Fuedalism
As for my Symbol, I think I would prefer a pair of crossed swords.
As for my Orc, I want to give them an asian feel, Samurai Orcs.
Mathius
Edit, I am willing to start in either plane, but if I have to self ascend then I will choose Mishway. If I end up in Culthet, I will be much more bloody. As for being ascend by Davos that could be interesting, will let you know once I am approuved.
The WorldWarp is coming up and we admins have been working on how thats going to work. Here's the gist of the matter:
1) The process of the warp will last one week. At any point during that week, you are welcome to send either anything you have created or yourself through to the joined universe, but such travel is one way... you can't come back. At the end of the week, the planes will fully collide and anything that has not warped yet will be dumped into the joined universe at that point.
2) Only objects which have had PP spent on their creation will survive the warp intact (unless you desire otherwise). Anything else is destroyed/broken/loses any meaningful form.
3) After the warp has occured, players will have two weeks in which they will have a free move action to move/place any object they have created in the new world (after new landmasses have been made, etc, etc.)
The Warp is coming up pretty soon!
Mathius
They're merging (see number 1). Point #3 is just indicating that you'll be able to reposition anything you have made in the joined universe. Speaking of which, what's the new universe called? Mishet? Cultway? Susan?
Ah, I took #3 to mean moving things into the new world, not moving things around in the new world. Thanks.
Mathius

Quoted for truth. Mecha, you're helpful enough to be be an admin. :D
And to elaborate:
Consider Set A (Mishway), Set B (Culthet), and Set C (new plane).
A and B are subsets of C.
Or in layman's terms, if you empty your freezer and your pantry into one giant locked chest, you've still got all your groceries, but you're going to have trouble to find where you put your cabbages without sorting everything else first.
...too much metaphor?

First, how is control of population determined? What kinda of mechanical effects do indirect things have on a popuplation?
Second, Repeat of one for a nations?
How is worship calculated? What does it do mechanically?
Can we as a Populations and Nations link to the Wiki?
Mathius
didn't see that. Thanks for pointing that out. I've been really tired and missed it completely.I have few questions, And I have a few answers!
First, how is control of population determined? What kinda of mechanical effects do indirect things have on a popuplation?
Its basically the fraction of PP that you have spent on the race compared to the total PP spent on said race, with a slight bonus for being one of the races that spent PP to create it. By indirect effects, I assume you mean 'what happens if I mold the land under their city and plunge them into the depths of the underdark' or the like? Since truly any action could have an indirect effect on a populace, for now (at least until we can come up with an objective standard) they have no effect.
Second, Repeat of one for a nations?
Not quite sure what you mean here, but if its what I think you mean, then nations are handled the exact same way.
How is worship calculated? What does it do mechanically?
See above. As for mechanically, check out the combat page on the wiki.
Can we as a Populations and Nations link to the Wiki?
Well, there's a race page. I'll modify it in a moment to be 'races and nations'
Mathius and TOPH!
New questions
Can a race be wiped out by indirect means, if i do not control the race? What if I do?
Same but for direct actions?
How do Negative actions affect your worship?
MAthius
Thanks, that was my exact questions. Good! I think as base we could count indirect actions as PP invested into the race but at half total, if they directed at one race (like the skimmers) or 1/4 if they are general actions.
Yeah, we've considered it, but the boundaries are murky. If I make a race of tasty chickens over here, and someone gets a direct benefit from that, what happens to their trading partners? is that an indirect benefit? A direct benefit? Ultimately, every action we do resonates throughout all of creation (oooh, RP-words!) and to reduce the headaches and eventual arguments over what counts as what... we're just going to say they don't count, period.
New questions
Can a race be wiped out by indirect means, if i do not control the race? What if I do?
No. It is assumed that the race survives 'intact' and within a short amount of time regains its old splendor after an indirect action. To reference the above example, the city is sent to the underdark and lands with a mighty crash, but within a few months, much of the damage is replaced. (Also, if you want to make that direct, as long as you're just moving the city, I, personally, would call that a guide action, not a mold, which *is* a direct action. Talk to the admins about costs for specific actions (if its a metropolis, It might take more PP to send it below with a guide than if it was a hamlet)
Same but for direct actions?
Yes, they can be, although we've never seen this happen before (although we've come close). We don't have an exact 'formula' for this as it is, but as a general rule, when Base PP + Nourishes - Denourishes (+techs?) = 0, the race is in diaspora and doesn't have any communities of its own. At some negative value (we'll figure this out shortly), one might actually be able to achieve genocide.
How do Negative actions affect your worship?
Gods can be worshiped due to both love and fear. Negative and Positive actions affect things equally.
MAthius + TOph!
Thanks, that was my exact questions. I think as base we could count indirect actions as PP invested into the race but at half total, if they directed at one race (like the skimmers) or 1/4 if they are general actions.

MAthius
A race can, theoretically, be wiped out such that the number of PP spent denourishing it is significantly higher than the PP invested nourishing it. Realistically this has never been an issue, because people are likely to either a) find something else to do with their PP or b) come to blows with the god who created (or is heavily invested in) the population. Additionally, there would be nothing to stop them from simply re shaping the race later.
Races *are* *not* controlled.
*any* PP spent on an action affects an effect on your worship, regardless of what that action is.

Special Rules:
- Spawns may travel back and forth between Mishway and Culthet.
- Plants, small clods of land, etc, may travel as well.
1) I am assuming that your 2 PP actions are attempts to Teach Populace, not Nourish Populace. Please keep those separate
2) The teach action is only for very special techs. Farming... isn't one of them. In fact, they already know how to farm. If you want to make them expert farmers, its a 1 PP nourish. The Psionic abilities are probably right as a Teach action.
3) Basically what I'm saying is... label your actions slightly differently and you have 1 more PP than you thought. Enjoy it!
I guess the only real question is, do you have any specific thoughts regarding ascension that you'd prefer to be met?
Nothing really specific, the more vague the purpose of the ascension the better (I don't want my god to be ascended to fullfill a specific role), as a god of things that are unknown (darkness, wilderness, fear) I'd like the ascension not to be "too public".
I envision my divinity as a mix between a force of nature and a fae.
Anyway you are a good writer and I trust your judgement.
Y'know, it's okay to have other hobbies too 
Of interest to you... you're ascended.

Now repeat after me:
Psi. Conic.
He can make cones out of psychic energy.

(I do it with love, Anubis!)
Its so hard, isn't it? :P
It hasn't been brought up, but the trilobites mental powers are all in the shape of cones. What's more, they only read thoughts about cones, can create mental images of cones, and can only levitate cone like objects. As such, I find psiconics fits :P
But seriously, I'll try to be more careful.
As a side note, I promise my posts will be shorter in the future. Honest.
As a side note, I'm not particularly experienced with Monster Creation, so if anyone has any suggestions about those mouthers, please let me know. I'd love to improve them.

Had to go through graduation and some hard times, but I've finally got my own laptop, so I can now join you all on this game full time.

It's great to be back once again.
Name: Schi'vya
Greater Domain: Balance
Moderate Domains: Passion, Weather
Lesser Domains: Deception, Illusion, Vanity, Wind
Physical Appearance: A dark cloud assembled into a tall, slender, featureless humanoid being. Schi'vya has bright, glowing spheres for eyes, and has dark, crackling energy flowing through her partially translucent form.
Symbol: A dark, swirling cloud painted upon an off-white canvas with a young, dressed woman in the center.
Personality/Core Concept: Schi'vya is a kind-natured spirit with a passionate mind and an enchanting voice which would make unbound nations rise and give color to grey lands. She has a darker side, however; she is sly, and her light form allows her to sneap up on unsuspecting beings without warning. She is known commonly as the 'perfect assassin.'
Starting Plane: Mishway
Sorry. Was watching Nintendo's Press Conference.

I was in dire need of a story and I happened to watch that episode recently, so it was the first thing that popped into my head.Xeadin, you need to specify a preferred starting plane. And you also get a Greater Domain, though I suppose if you just don't want a greater domain, you don't have to.
Oh... whoops. I didn't know I could do that...
Alright. I'll go make that change. Good thing I've saved the domains page in the favorites bar

Besides Futurama, what else? X-Com? I'm not sure I would call that popculture, since it is generally counted as a cult classic. Of course, there was my reference to Doctor Who, but I'm not sure anyone noticed that.
The parasites Harkon created have been added to the wikia: locworldwarp.wikia.com/wiki/Parasites
I've never actually tried to create diseases or the sort before, so any feedback is, as always, appreciated.
Someone needs a thesaurus...
By the way, I say these things because I love you!
I was taking a stroll through the wikia and notice a few things that could use some help:
Angel, if you could provide stats for Thrill worms, that would be uber fantastic. But could you at least take a look at what is there and see if it sounds right?
Karak, could you please do the same for the Shadow-Eater Jellies?
WizDude, the Rock things need... well, everything. A name, a description, stats, etc.
Rit, could you take a look at the Waltzing Mountains and see if it is up to snuff? Same with the Masquerade (and if you feel like providing stats for it, that would be uber fantastic as well)
Ara, if you are feeling generous, you might want to look over the Egg Tree and consider what would happen if a mortal tried to use its power (if anything).
Remember, only you can prevent forest fires... by updating the wikia. I don't know how one relates to the other, but it does.
Mathius
Oh I would like to start in cultway.
Mathius
Hint. Hint.
...how long have I been spelling it like that and no-one actually corrected me?? >.<
Thank you Veok. I was actually hinting about a lot of people not actually prefacing their posts with their plane, but I suppose at this point it is rather redundant.

Well I have been meaning to get the Waltzing Mountains up to snuff and would gladly do so with the Masquerade and with the creatures I have created. However, I do not actually play 4e nor do I own any of the 4e books. So I am going to just have to pester you people when it comes to actually statting up stuff.

There's also a stub for Aaviz and Siliis. If either shadow or MD have any free time on their hands, we'd appreciate it if you could fill in some basic info.
It would be preferable if all players could keep their god's page updated within a week of what they've done. Obviously, some people have very busy lives, but if you have the time, please keep your god page updated.

You may post your god to the wiki (oooh, so pretty!) when you make a post in the IC thread following your ascension. Technically, there's nothing to stop you from posting it to the wiki now, but you'd have to stipulate that you were not currently in the game.
I can live with that. Thanks!
Do I have your permission to do that admins?
Xeadin, what do you want to do? (PM me)
...and weren't you congealing around someone just before, anyway? Eh, whatever.
Aboleth, do you realize that, in fact, no one is at Ara's tree currently? Every other Mishway god (excepting Djaf) is at Poliphas' pillar.
It's fine. I'll just have Clastron go look for some other gods.
...and weren't you congealing around someone just before, anyway? Eh, whatever.
Um... what?
Um... what?
Think I confused you and Nerdzul. Didn't realize we had 2 gods of darkness. More specifically, Aboleth, no one has ascended you yet. You need to wait a week before you self-ascend. Otherwise, ask one of the Mishway gods to do it early.

- Gods, spawns, and populaces may, at any time, "depart" their plane of origin for the third, merged plane.
- There is nothing inside the third plane. It is completely a blank slate. The only things that exist are those things that existed in the previous planes. Everything is considered to have "departed" after one weeks time.
- Once you arrive on the third plane, there's no going back.
- You recieve one free Mold or Guide actions to place newly "departed" terrain features, populations, and the like wherever you please, though you may only place something you have personally spent PP on.
He sounds like he needs Dr. Phil's help. :D
In other news, sure, you can bring over all the grass you like -- but, what use is grass without dirt to root it in place? If you want the land the grass is under, you'll need a regular mold action to reconstitute it.
If you want the land the grass is under, you'll need a regular mold action to reconstitute it.
What is this, I don't even
I included dirt anyway.
Slight problem, though... I'm fairly certain that Anubis is heading to where the hive WAS, not where it IS, so... talking with The Mother is going to be difficult
Edit: Veok forgot to include the original rules for the warp as well:
Okay everybody. Its time for an Important Post.
The WorldWarp is coming up and we admins have been working on how thats going to work. Here's the gist of the matter:
1) The process of the warp will last one week. At any point during that week, you are welcome to send either anything you have created or yourself through to the joined universe, but such travel is one way... you can't come back. At the end of the week, the planes will fully collide and anything that has not warped yet will be dumped into the joined universe at that point.
2) Only objects which have had PP spent on their creation will survive the warp intact (unless you desire otherwise). Anything else is destroyed/broken/loses any meaningful form.
3) After the warp has occured, players will have two weeks in which they will have a free move action to move/place any object they have created in the new world (after new landmasses have been made, etc, etc.)
The Warp is coming up pretty soon!
So, Mecha, the problem isn't that you want to warp the grass, the problem is that there hasn't been any PP spent on the grass (read: a nourish or mold for the dirt beneath it) it comes across not as a beautiful plain of grass, but as a chaotic swarm of blades that lacks any cohesion.... I think thats what Veok was trying to say.
And yes, Toph. Thanks for translating!

I am aware of this, yes.
*wanders off in a haze of happiness*
Oh, also... gonna be busy for the next couple of hours and am apparently going to another house to sleep tonight, so... internet is... ??? So, for the moment, assume that I am following around The Mother echoing worried comments!
Okay, forgive me if this comes off as a little weird and out of nowhere, but I just read the air elemental entry on the wiki and I have to ask... how on earth do they mate?? Seriously, their incorporeal, so conventional sex is right out. And they have to multiply SOMEHOW. I mean, if they lived in the elemental chaos it'd be kind of understandable, yay for magical elements and all that, but how do they breed in the real world?? Well, the material realm that is.
Anubis says: always write how your populaces mate in the wiki. It avoids awkward questions later on 
(Anubis may be biased due to always writing out how his populaces mate in his wiki entries, probably in too much detail. Take message with a grain of salt due to slight dehydration and just coming off of a shift at work. Do not consume.)
That sounds like a set up for a bad joke:
Why can't you trust anything an Air Elemental says? 'Cause they're full of hot air.
How do air Elementals Produce offspring? They pass gas!
And so forth.
By the way, what's so important about knowing how elementals mate? That should be straightforward. They make more of themselves by 'using' the elements and some of Schi'vya's glitterdust to make more of them. The glitterdust spreads itself out over time, thus making it possible to make more elementals out of thin air (since they're air elementals, gusts of wind, or small bits of clouds are all that are needed to make more).
Right now, since they're in the Third Plane, they can't make more of themselves right now, because there is no breeze-- no cloud.
And I am back! Updates and the like tomorrow.
Edit: Ah, and Angel. Sorry, I had forgotten about Davos being over there.
For the Warped World, is there much land? As far as I can remember, there is only the Hive and the Coliseum so far.
I think maybe you should try that again. May I delete it and recreate the page for you?
And I'm just going to quote from the rules wiki here:
"Superior spawns are powerful, and fight with a base Combat Power of 7. "
So you're at 1 / 14. Carry on.
As for PP, I guess I misunderstood the rules. The wikia said that with the agressor gets a free bid of 1 pp, so I thought that together with that bonus and the initial invested I had 2pp attack power to split between the two. If that's not right and I need to invest more, then I'll go ahead and borrow against next week to allow the action to occur.
Yes, I am borrowing just to have harkon beaten to a pulp.
Of course, Concordia and Leviathan could surrender.
EDIT: Oh, side note, since I will probably be loosing, will Harkon get one scar or two? Presumably Ara and one of the creators of the Leviathan get to determine what those will be, so if they can go ahead and tell me, I'll try to work them in early.
You're welcome
That is correct, Thought. No other actual landmasses have passed through. I assume Aboleth is either tree-ing one of those two places or simply making galactic floating trees.
I guess I treed the colosseum.
Well, since you already did it though... I guess that's okay...
I'll just go ahead and update the Wiki for the colosseum.The catch is that if you don't like what he's doing, you go mano-a-mano and fight it out. Or talk it out in the OOC thread. Or otherwise resolve the conflict. But generally, the principle guiding aspect of this game: Yes, and...
Finally getting around to catching up on last week's PP, and there's a bit of a problem with the Casus Belli, namely that it provides 2 PP worth of power, which is too much for a 4 PP artifact. I *think* what you intended is to basically add 1 to the bid of the wronged player (which comes automatically with the 1 PP spent to initiate combat), right? As it is, you initiate combat (bid of 1) and then add another (bid of 2). Beyond that... I love it.
Angel:
When you teach your Death Titans to make really good fortifications, I think thats a specialization, not a separate tech (so its 1 PP and you've got more PP to spend)
locworldwarp.wikia.com/wiki/Yet_To_Warp
World Artifact: Any mold 2 or 4 action taken to shape the new Planet recieves 1 free PP.
Loop hole: If the mold action creates something colorful or whimsical nothing happens.
Is this good?
World Artifact: Any mold 2 or 4 action taken to shape the new Planet recieves 1 free PP.
Maybe it should be more like "Any one god using a Mold action 2- 4 PP taken to shape a medium or large sized planet receives 1 Free PP. The god must know that the artifact exists in order for him/her to receive the free PP; otherwise the god does not receive the bonus."
Loop hole: If the mold action creates something colorful or whimsical nothing happens.
Or "If the planet is small (moon), the triggering god does not receive the free PP."
Mathius, perhaps make an artifact with a limited number of 'charges' representing the number of chains. If you want to use it, there has to be a free chain, which you then connect to the landmass. If you want to free up a chain, you have to figure out a way to get a new chain freed.
World Artifact:
Chains of Culthet:
The Chains of Culthet stretch and grow through all that they touch turn all works on this new planet dark and gloomy.
Effect: Any Mold 2 or 4 action that touches landform chains run thourgh recieves 1 PP as long as the Chains are allowed to grow.
Loophold: The chains are large and do not effect small creations (mold 1). Also if a god is clever he can find a way to prevent the chains from growing into new sections of land.
Edit: I want to encourage the creation of only one planet and I like the idea chains runing through the whole thing. That is why I want have not charges and only allow one planet with chains. Of course this could change with devine intervention.
Edit: Well, while I did like the idea of chained moons... I agree.
Mathius, alternately, the artifact could cause a -1PP to any landmasses created that aren't connected to it. Essentially, it would be like the Skyway River in Aetheric Realms, but affecting land instead of planes.
Or perhaps it gives a +1 nourish to any land connected with it (thereby also including islands)? Any land created starts off devoid of life, so this would allow new lands to basically be inhabitable right away. The loophole could just be that such land has to be part of the same "planet" (and if it is part of the same planet, I can't imagine anyone wanting to avoid a free nourish).
I just bring up these alternatives because essentially a +1PP for a 2pp mold action makes it as cheap as a minor mold as well. But, of course, these are just ideas, for you to take or not as you please.
As for the -pp to things not connected to it, I do not see how I could do that for things that are not on the planet. I think I will take that idea for landforms on planet that try and resist the chains.
As for islands and oceans, I see not reason for the chains not to burrow though and hold those as easily as big pieces of land.
Are you moving the basin beneath the mountains as well?
For now I will go with what I said in 306
Rit,
Are you moving the basin beneath the mountains as well?
Well, the thing is no PP has ever been spent on the basin, it was the crater from me tearing the mountains out of the earth and then it filled with water when Aldii created the oceans via rain.
Xeadin (and everybody else):
As we haven't had the MS thread in a game, just a brief reminder that if it involves your god, it belongs in the IC thread... in fact, if it involves your exarch, it probably belongs in the IC thread (although thats more debatable). The MS thread is (if you wish) there for mortal/mortal interactions, with the divine a constant presence, but not playing anything like a central role in the story.
((triple post for the win!))

If you want to be safe or aren't sure, just do it in the main thread. Sure, Mecha might yell at you, but who's more intimidating, Mecha or Toph? :P
Sorry Toe...
(No offense taken, Ara. You speak the truth!)
...And when I get to know your organs.
God Name: Rampart
Greater Domain: Order
Moderate Domains: Civilization, Justice
Minor Domains: Architecture, History, Vigilance, Pride
Appearance: Rampart takes the form of a bent and warped humanoid - the precise race is determined by the beholder with callused hands. In the case of other deities, he defaults to human. He is startlingly well-muscled beneath ragged clothing and his eyes shine with a vivacious light unexpected in someone who has obviously been a victim of hard living.
Holy Symbol: A simplistic white tower against a square black background. On his altars, this takes the shape of an earthenware tower; in the hands of a Divine character, it might be an amulet in the shape of said tower.
Personality: Rampart is an unrepentant curmudgeon as befits a being born of the worst fears of the newly civilized inhabitants of Culthet and Mishway. He views life as a struggle against the whims of other deities and the general rigors of existance, and sees nothing wrong with complaining at length about these. Contrary to what one might expect, he is not averse to working with other deities towards a particular end, particularly a civilized one. The abhorrent chaos of the Worldwarp is the only thing he opposes entirely.
You'll need to wait to be officially greenlighted, and then you can get someone to ascend you. If you have not been ascended by the end of one week, then you are allowed to self-ascend.
Given that your god is interested in civilization and that my god is too, let me know if, once you are greenlighted, you would like Harkon to ascend you.
Yes, yes, welcome and all that.
I'd like to express a concern if I may. If the pattern continues, we're going to have a lot of separated landmasses without any interaction between them. The purpose of the World Warp was to bring everything together, not further separate it. I'm only going to assume that you're planning to make an ocean in between them or something. Let's not make the same mistake as in LoC3 at any rate.
Also, we really need a map. As usual, I will only bring up the problem, and have no part in its solution.
Aye, Mathius, global artifacts take 4PP. As noted, however, unless someone else is willing to give their oath with Harkon, he'll take back his power and the artifact wont be formed.
Also-- Welcome to LoC, Auralynx
* Sonnet's Continent
* Waltzing Mountains and their rivers (Sol and Mani are in there too)
* The Casus Belli
* The Hive, the waters surrounding the hive, Caltabac-toes continent, the floating continent of Culthet, the unnamed ocean of Mishway, the various archepeligoes of Culthet, Titan's Glacier, the various gardens, the colosseum, the Shallows, Itja's tomb
* The twisted Hive
* The Caverns of Davos/Second Moon
Does that look right-ish? Am I forgetting something?
Also, I'd like to reiterate Mecha's request that we try and condense all of these things into one mostly-connected landmass... perhaps use Ordek's archipelagos as filler to join all of these into a giant spiral or we use Mathius' chains of Culthet to form the core of a planet and bind things to that.
In other news... Auralynx, you are greenlit. Anybody who wants to ascend him may do so! If you aren't ascended by the reset on saturday night, you're free to self-ascend. (you start with 7 PP).
Personally, I love the idea of a giant spiral. Alternately, use Mathius' chains to have a fragmented "planet" which the waltzing mountains or some such providing means of getting between them (but falling into the center of the world should totally be possible). And finally, two earthy planes facing each other (as sonnet's continent is currently doing) would also be fun. But that's just me.
If you're interested, feel free to PM me, or stop by the community chat we've got at: http://chat.mibbit.com/
Our room is #LoC
Auralynx, I'd be happy to ascend you if you'd like me to. Though, fair warning, my god ascends people by pulling them out of his hat.
If you're interested, feel free to PM me, or stop by the community chat we've got at: http://chat.mibbit.com/
Our room is #LoC
I think it may make more narrative sense to take Harkon up on his offer, but it's appreciated. I'll see if I can drop in to the chat later this evening. Glad to be aboard.
Rampart is likely to be very eager to help resolve your map issue. :P
I guess all I needed was a good ol' nature walk...
To note, since I misunderstood what you had done, I went back and modified my nourish action from earlier today. I had thought that you had put all water out in the veil. Since that was a misunderstanding, I switched the nourish from that to the lake around the Hive.
There are no physical connections currently, though the waltzing mountains are close enough that any creature with a flight speed or incredible jumping ability can use them as a bridge.
Actually any creature that could swim and/or float could theoretically reach the mountains as well. The sky rivers are a large (2pp) network of floating ever shifting waterways that interact with and water the Waltzing Mountains. They would need to be anchored in some regular large body of water to work indefinetely, so the network of rivers for another, lets say 1pp, could be expanded and anchored and several oceans or lakes on both sides of our inner world, which would effectively allow for faster travel.
That being said, the rivers are slightly unpredictable and dangerous, and it would take both a very skilled and a slightly crazy individual to successfully cross all the way from one side of the world to the other using them :D
Yah I am actually. Somehow I ended up loving his Keys to the Kingdom series, for no reason I can really define. It just seemed novel I guess. I stole shamelessly, and kinda just hoped no one else had read them. I'll change the fluff though, I'm not that lazy. And no worries, I won't suddenly be making seven Overseers that function as exarchs and relate to the seven deadly sins. Oh, and no times of day either haha.
Assuming a constant velocity for the sun and some hand-wavey math:
Night = 3/2 Day (Circumfrence = Pi x Diameter, with the time it takes it to traverse the Circumfrence representing day; if the sun is doing figure 8s, we can assume that it traverses half the diameter, then the circumfrence, then half the diameter, and so forth). This is a ratio approximately similar to Earth during the Winter Solstice: Assuming 24-hour days, you're looking at about a 9.5 hour to 14.5 hour ratio of day to night. For our purposes, it might be easier to assume 10 hour days and 15 hour nights. If Umbart winds up where I intend it to, there's also a rolling eclipse on the interior of the sphere. I haven't tried to model that yet.
I'm pretty sure we can get seasons if, per Thought's idea, Sol orbits Umbart for varying lengths of time or not at all at varying parts of the year.
I have it on reliable authority that Mani is a radiant body, as are the Waltzing Mountains; whether Umbart is I'm not currently sure, which affects things somewhat.
here is the one called Asriluxus:
Astriluxus
greater: Life
moderate: Dragon,Protection
lesser: Courage, Love, Hope, Good Dragons
physical appearance:Astriluxus as he sees himself.... I am a massive dragon. Scales as bright as a sun, they shimmer with the moons glimmer. My wings span many lengths, my tail as long as my body is large. My legs as thick as tree trunks and claws as sharp as swords. To look into my eyes is to see into the depths of the sea. Description others might give... His scales shine with the most brightly silvery sheen almost platinum in color. With a huge body larger than most his wingspan is wide enough to lift his massive girth into the air. His tail is as long as his body. His legs are thick and muscular with sharp claws on the ends of his feet. A regal looking head(think silver dragon), with azure blue eyes.
symbol: A shield with a superimposed sunburst
personality: A seemingly serious person, he also has a childlike exuberance. (will work on over time.)
Core concept: We all have things we want to protect: children, plants, living beings. He is the guardian of those things. He is the thoughts and actions brought about to protect those things and more. Courage, hope, love, these are things that are needed. Whether to use them to protect or to protect them themselves. To love is to have courage and hope. To have hope is to always have love. These are things that are worth protecting.
(best to leave the best stuff to work on over time! must have things to create and improve!)
And yeah, we're in that room from the wee hours of the morning till way after midnight (the joys of multiple time zones)
[EDIT]: Whenever you get the greenlight, I'd be more than happy to ascend you... since I have a likeness for dragons, and other related creatures...
Xeadin, I nominate that statement for understatment of the year!
just curious
Due to my current busyness and waning interest, I'm resigning from the game. I'm really sorry if this is inconvinient for anyone.
Of course, that assumes you are fine with your god being pulled out of a hat :D
As for the hat it is not so bad, I did that myself and playing a god of honor who feels he owes a debt to Aaviz is .... Interesting. Yeah thats the right word.
Arua, I think chains to bowl is 4 points, but cost only three if describe the chains as more the anchoring but acually spreading though the rock and holding things together. As for the Waltzing mountains that would be 2 I think.
Please describe how many chains attach to each bowl and how big they are.
Could someone summarize what's on each half as of now?
Also, you may want to move Djaf, Siliis, and now Hulna to the inactive list.
Um... I don't think we really can, beyond saying that the Triskelion is on the top half and the Hive is on the bottom half... everything else was apparently just for demonstration... we'll talk in chat today or something and try and come up with a more-proper map.
And... its on my to-do list along with a bunch of other stuff.
I'm pretty sure we can get seasons if, per Thought's idea, Sol orbits Umbart for varying lengths of time or not at all at varying parts of the year.
Pfft, this is Lords of Creation, not Science of the Natural World. Seasons happen because gods cause them to happen! Maybe... if players want it that way...
Regarding day lengths, given that sol and mani have to navigate through the waltzing mountains, and being animals they don't take a straight path, I'd be more generous to the day cycle. Also, once something is in the center of the world, they'll swim around it once each time, adding more time there. And finally, once they are in the veil, lets assume they are traveling underwater, back in their natural environment, and so travel faster, reducing night. All in all, a vaguely even day/night cycle. For now.
Edit: Also, welcome aboard Joran. And I am sorry that you have to leave, Aboleth.
Though I have no idea what you mean by "did I kinda cance ramparts action out." ... Oh, cancel? I had to go back and take a look; I had missed the part where Rampart did rather than plan. I had read his post entirely as a description of what he wanted to do, not what happened. Sorry about that. But basically, other than the moon being a mountain/spire, its similar.
To note, I tried to name where things are merely to give a reference point. With no one knowing what was where, it was hard to move things accordingly.
EDIT: To note, of Anubis isn't happy with what I did with his/her PP, I am quite happy to change it and spend more of Harkon's own.
yes rampart did intend to spend PP in his post, but just was not sure how many he need, so he sent down the chains, and then you made an apple core.
Yeah, I had everything nicely worked out. Now there's a big apple-core thing, but that's not a big deal. It's pretty much what the chains would have been accomplishing, just embiggened.
I still could use a PP cost, though, and you're all set to have some of mine if they're left over, Thought.
As for what *sort* of action it is... um... we'll call it move. And no, you can't use the chains to help you move. That'd be cheating.
In happier news, Joran, you are free to be ascended and/or self-ascend after the reset. You'll have 7 PP.
I'm liking this world we have now
Thought, I'm more than happy with the way you spent the Mothers PP, no need to use more of your own This world really is shaping up nicely isn't it? Still needs a name though... a name which isn't Susan, before anyone says anything.
Hm, well this is prolly a job for the chat, but since I'm trying to post to IC and MS while doing other things I prolly won't be on for a while, so might as well say my suggestions to get things rolling . Hm, lets see, ones that leap to mind are Utopia, Sanctuary, Unifica, Demi, and... hm, that's about all I can think of really without going into random made up words.
Harkon actually made his suggestion when he ranted to Davos. I forget the exact words, but it was old english for "Path of the Exile", which seemed appropriate
Brinstar, Veok? I mean, I know we're going for a LOT of references in this game, but...
Okay, I spent 3 on the mold to move Umbart and 0 on the nurish, since I could not use the oath yet and only needed 2 for the move, I will leave the post as is. There PP balanced.
As for the shape of the world, like it. I still like the idea of using the waltizing mountains to creat seasons.
I am sure that the worldspire (yup thats my vote) casts on heck of a shadow.
We need name the upper and lower bowls. I vote for Ann and Sue.
Not saying you had use the chains, but I did say they efect land and water so you could have for your mold.
I still vote for Susan :D
Though, we could name the world Apple, with the top being called Green and the bottom named Red? :D
Not a fan of Unifica here.
Wow, I'm surprised so many people seem to like the names I suggested... I expected someone to argue that they all sucked and make their own heh
As for the sides of the world, maybe we could name them Top-side and Bottom-side? But in all seriousness... hm, I have no idea. Looking at some popular duality concepts, theres yin and yang, birth and death, sky and land... but one of those really work with two more or less identical halves. At least, compared to say, one half that had night constantly and one that had day constantly.
Hm... maybe something a little fancy, like an palindrome. Pillum and Mullip? Darkris and Sirkard? Malin and Nilam? Yeven and Nevey? Xorak and Karox? Okay, I'm just randomly jumbling letters together at this point.
As for naming the two spheres: Perhaps Letus and Somnus? Or something along the lines of mythological twins?
How 'bout Ravan and Voran (adjectival: Ravanese and Voranese)
I like Korias and Sairok for the two hemispheres.
My assumption is Top > North: Korias ; Bottom > South: Sairok
[EDIT]: Kal_Marshall: Sorry I had to ditch you and Hulna... the unresponsiveness was getting on Schi'vya's nerves...
For the World in general, I'd suggest: Wraeclastas (Path of the Exiles) or Ferthlocan/Ferdlocan (spirit-chest)
I like Korias and Sairok or Darkris and Sirkard for the two respective halves, though Korian sounds too much like Korean for my tastes. Maybe "Koriastish" or "Koriastian" instead?
And we shall all be Sphereworlders.
Or maybe, given our entrances, we should be Hypersphereworld.
On Bottom will be: Catalabactos' continent (the golden forest), the Hive, the Shallows, the islands made by Umbart and the Razor Canyon. It will be far more... watery, I think. Things not mentioned in the IC that I've put there are the islands and Razor Canyon.
I'll get Bottom finished tomorrow. For now, feast your eyes on Top! Also, over the next few days, feel free to send me PMs about what other of your stuff goes where (especially if it will affect the look of the maps).
Oh, for orientation's sake. The spire is in the very middle, and everything around the edges joins with the veil.
Second, Xeadin moved the coliseum above the golden forest.
Other than that, no comments. Looking good.
Also, a very nice map, Toph
So... can't find that post by Xeadin. If he wants it moved, I'll move it.
And as for the Triskelion... I found it fairly clear in my head that the triskelion was the dead center of Top, so if the godspire went directly in the center... thats where it would go. If you want it otherwise, then... I can fix that.
Random curiosity, Toph, but do you ever visit the Cartographer's Guild?
Well, okay, some CG maps looks like satalite photos, but I wasn't referring to those.
Okay. Over the weekend I'll put up lists of things made by each player so we can place them in the coming week. Either you can do it in IC or PM me with where things go (or, if you're feeling brave, I'll leave a column in the wiki-table for you to put where it goes)
Toph: I cancelled that move freem ove action for moving the colosseum to the golden forest, so I still have a free move action to use, which I have a plan on the next refresh. ;)
Also, this page will be very useful to people this coming week. We need to know where all your stuff is before we can move on!
locworldwarp.wikia.com/wiki/PreWarpObjec...
Please help out!
1) Graxith, when you replaced the mountain in the waltzing mountains, that was probably just a 1 PP action, so if you want that extra PP, its yours.
2) Auralynx, I nearly missed your expenditure
3) Reset tonight, as usual
And as for the Triskelion... I found it fairly clear in my head that the triskelion was the dead center of Top, so if the godspire went directly in the center... thats where it would go. If you want it otherwise, then... I can fix that.
Indeed. I had other plans for the Triskelion. But I don't begrudge your tendency to automatically center things XD.

Did one of them involve a city of Mindflayers moving in and eating your eladrin? Because that seems to be what just occurred with Wizdude.....
Need I say more? ;)
Name: Cruias
Greater Domain: Void
Moderate Domains (up to 2): Rebirth, Mercy
Lesser Domains (up to 4): Night, Sleep, Endurance
Physical Appearance: A pitch-black tear in the universe, rimed with frost.
Symbol: An eclipsed sunburst
Personality/Core Concept: Constantly feeling lonely, empty, and cold, Cruias seeks to fill his own empty existence, and to spare others the pain of being consigned to the void. Future plans include creating afterlives for mortals, and finding ways to extend life and bring people back to life. (Read, Undead).
*- Favorite milege may vary. Tests taken from a team of trained chocobos.
**- Or other sports of choosing.
Forge of the Gods:
This forge stands at the center of the worldspire in place nurished my hot magma form below. A rare place where all four elements meet and mix. Here is a place that a God can create, but running the forge is beyond even god. He must have the help of devoted followers.
Effect: The Provides 1 PP to any world artifact, major artifacts, lessor artifact, or exarchs crafted there. The artifact or Exarch must be one concrete object.
Loophole: Not sure yet, I want to provide something for Pops and Nations to fight over.
Here are ideas so far
1: Only one group can control the forge at time but the worship pecentage needed to use the forge is low. 20 percent is about right I think
2: X groups can control the forge at the same time. X = 3+ Must have the highest worship percentage to use the forge.
3: Combination of the of low percent (30 to 40) and multipul groups (2) on the forge.
4: If the Forge provides 3+ PP in turn all groups there get denurish form overwork. Could be higher then 3.
5. All groups present at the forge for a week when it provides no PP recieve a free nourish.
Please comment on what is good idea and what is need for an approaved world artifact.
I realize that we do not want a WA that only on god controls.
New WA Rule: Any god may only use/be affected by a particular World Artifact ONCE a week (like a normal artifact). Note that this does not limit the total number of uses of a World Artifact, just the number of uses per player. So Itja, Karak and Davos can all use the Chains of Culthet in one turn, but Itja can't use the chains twice.
After that... Mathius, this seems like a nice artifact. I, personally, would go with a combination of 1 and 4, but reduce the 3+ PP/week to 2 or even 1. Basically, make it such that the thing is powerful, but if two gods try and use it in a turn, its to the detriment of the populace there. That'll set up some juicy RP and OOC opportunities.
Might I humbly make a suggestion? It might be good to limit the number of times a single god can use Global Artifacts in general per turn. That is, if there are 10 WA's out there in the plane, then it might be a bit overpowered if Itja or Harkon used all 10 each and every turn. Perhaps it would be prudent to limit the number of times a god can access WA's to 1/2 their base PP, or the sort?
Hm... maybe something a little fancy, like an palindrome... Darkris and Sirkard?
If we're using palindromes, I like the names Korias and Sairok (adjectives Korian and Saironese)
Since not many people seem to care, I'm going to go with us resolve this matter right here, right nowish. The choices for the name of the top and bottom half of the world are:
Darkris and Sirkard
or
Korias and Sairok
Keep in mind that we only need a quorum of one to pass the motion. So if you care at all, please let us know. If no one cares... well, Susan and Jones are the default names.
Anyway, yeah, I'll go with Korias and Sairok.
And it's Susan and Susan. Honestly, guys, how can you not remember that?
Should be back to normal and able to pick up on meddling tomorrow or Thursday.
Yeah, Mathius, I can tell you right now that you're gonna need a lot more than two PP to make fifty volcanoes.
2PP gets you abouts a mountain range. Where had you intended the shaping to occur. "Rim" is sorta nondescript, because there are many rims.
Okay, it would be 2 PP if they occupy a surface area roughly equating to a mountain range. But the various levels of mold are based on the surface area occupied, so if you intend on spacing them throughout the whole planet, it's far more PP because you have to stretch out over a much wider area.
Also, if anyone is curious, these are the turtles they're based on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligator_Snapping...
...oops, let me just fix that ^_^; I thought you were talking more to Itja-Rek than the Mother, but I'll fix it up right now.
EDIT: Or not, just realized the Mother has run off... oh, well she'll feel mighty silly when she realizes she forgot about Cruias ^_^;
It might be a while depending on how it plays out with Toph and such, but I'd gladly interact with Syreene as soon as this is all sorted out.Just a friendly reminder to please fill out
locworldwarp.wikia.com/wiki/PreWarpObjec...
So we know where everything has ended up. I'll do what I can to put things whose locations are foregone conclusions on there, but keep in mind that if I don't have any idea, then next week anything that hasn't been moved on that list can be moved by ANYONE.
You have been warned.
Name: Inimicus
Greater Domain: Fate
Moderate Domains: Strategy, Trickery
Lesser Domains: History, Meditation, Insight, Fear
Physical Appearance: A very tall, thin humanoid with elongated features. His face is blurry, as are his movements. No distinguishing colors or blemishes arise from the surface of his blurred body.
Symbol: None.
Personality/ Core Concept: Believes that only through hardship and conflict can anything be truly made worthy. He believes his acts, while heinous, help the universe at large move along the great march of progress. Inimicus exists only to oppose, to challenge, and to subvert. He is the Adversary, the Enemy, and the Test.
On a lighter note, I would like to extend an open invitation for someone (possibly someone with an interest in dwarves, drow, or some other subterranian race) to feel free to use the cavern complex I created in my last post. I have no plans for it and I am honestly kind of hoping someone will move in and make a mortal race centered there :D
Well Nekros let me just say welcome to the game and I look forward to having you join. That being said, the name "Antagonistes" kind of irks me the wrong way >.< Perhaps instead of simply stating in the name of your deity that he is meant to be an antagonist you could look around and find famous literary antagonists or historical "villians" and use one of their names, or maybe just an annegram of Antagonist or something.....

Fixed, I hope.
And Joran1313: Where in the Mortal Stories does your post take place? The Bryofite City?
[EDIT]: Nevermind, joran.
(Cleared up in Chat)To note for any and all, I've updated the wikia with Sairok and Korias and tried to put various landforms and locations in the right sub-categories. Please take a look and make any changes as necessary.
Also, while you are at it, take a look at your god page and update it.
I was hoping to keep them safe for about another week, but looks like they are going to start gearing for war instead.
Only if you want them too. All I've done is give a little fluff to that end, but it can easily be ignored to no harm. Of course, you might take umbridge at Wizdude actually enslaving some dragonborn... :P
Any chance you'd be willing to adjust that group into an organization rather than a whole nation? And in addition to everything else, they shouldn't be using Mouthers in their warbands, because there are no Mouthers in the Triskelion. They could however, use the Battlebriars that were created for the express purpose of driving the Mouthers (and other aberrant creatures, *coughmindflayercough*) away from the Triskelion.
1) Wizdude: Grow a spine and fight back!!! You have a divine avatar present and your letting your people be swatted like flies, making your God look incompetant!
2) Nekros: I don't think you quite understand the shape of our world. It is not a simple globe with a bunch of stars, instead it is two bowls facing each other and bridged by seas. Floating glowing Mountains dance between the two globes with flying rivers crossing between them, a large ball of rock sits in the center between the two bowls and a bunch of land spires branch out from said rock connecting the landmasses of the two bowls. As such, there are no stars really.....
Welcome back, Anubis. Where you been? ANd boy do I have a surprise for you.
Honestly, no-one needs the Mother at the moment, so I took it as an excuse to have a little break after being thrust into conversation after conversation a while ago
. She'll probably be back to threatening to eat people and making the other Mothers behave soon enough though heh.To follow up on Topheh's point -- there are no epic griffons in 4e. The highest is the Rimefire, which is only 20th.
Do we really have to follow 4e protocol, by the book? ;)

Just trying to explain where Toph was coming from.
Also, some MS interactions would be nice... from a few others. The Mortal Stories thread was made for a reason. Let's all get our ducks in a row (quickly, but not too soon) and start RPing. We have the resources-- let's not put them to waste.
And I was actually talking about superior spawns, not epic-tier... thats what a 4 PP spawn would be

I think the fact that you cannot spend PP in the mortal stories thread may be discouraging its use; at least, that's what's stopping me.
Hmm... you have a point. However, it's not stopping me or Topheh ;)
That said, Wizdude, Joran... you should probably talk :D
I'll get these on maplib tomorrow and put races on it. Next up on the list is the near-Hive situation and an overall map of the world.
Dear ff6Shadow,
Regarding: Long Posts
See what you've started?!
Sincerely,
Baron Von Thought, III
p.s. To Topheh, nice maps.
Apparently, they were weak against the Thunderhawk's powerful discharge.
Best/funniest line of the week:Apparently, they were weak against the Thunderhawk's powerful discharge.
Really, Thought? Really?
Not waiting for a reply there, he conjured a clay pigeon, sending it to call for the Mother, with a simple message that he had something of interest to show to her when she had a bit of free time
Go check it out.
As usual, take a look and let me know if you think any changes need to be made.
Xeadin: Yes, really.
locworldwarp.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Elementa...
So, I have a mottled black tower nestled ever so comfortably at the bottom-left corner of the world, surrounded by hordes of Kruthiks and holding an artifact that can reveal hundreds of thousands of possible futures.
Anyone feel up to a little meet and greet?
While domains aren't mechanically taken in this game, and don't have any mechanical benefit... Xeadin, this is way, way, way, way too many. You haven't even done anything related to most of these domains, anyways. You are Balance and Chaos, Void and Earth, Caverns? Tyrants?
Domains are supposed to be a way for someone to take a glance at them and know what your god finds important in the world. RP is how you gain the domains. If your god shows definite and consistent interest in a topic, then that can be one of your domains... for instance, I'm about to modify Itja's page to claim the death domain, as its very clear from his actions that death is a defining thing he is concerned about (being made of souls and devising ways to collect said souls multiple times). I'm not going to say that life is one of my domains, even though it is something I have made, or mountains are my domain because I made a mountain.
So, in short... figure out which of those domains really define your god, and stick to those. They're not party favors or popcorn to be grabbed by the handful!
I'll go back and edit.It's a very nihilistic world.
Time for Ara or Aldii (may she return in peace) to step up and get some afterlifing done!
It's a very nihilistic world.
This quote made my day. I don't quite know why, other than, "it did".
Name: Arknai Thern
Greater Domain: Harmony
Moderate Domains (up to 2): Protection, Monsters (Sentient)
Lesser Domains (up to 4): Trade, Cities, Harvest, Machinery
Physical Appearance: An old man wearing white robes with golden trim. He carries a tome which contains a list of sentient beings, and can change his appearance to that of any being listed in the tome.
Symbol: A closed tome, bound in leather, with an olive branch on the cover.
Personality/Core Concept: Wants peace brought to all races capable of understanding it. Second chances, and a caring nature are well known traits of this god.
When I said that 12,15 and 18 domains were way too many, that really didn't mean go down to 8, 12 and 15 domains. Please take a good, HARD look at what you have and narrow it down to what actually defines your god. Based on what you've focused on in the IC, I can see arguments for two of those greater, maybe one of the moderate and two of the lesser... so... take a look.
Also, just a personal question... why did you name your eladrin/elemental nation Soulshards when there is a PC race called Soulshards now? Its not a problem, just seems... a curious choice.
Thomas,
Looking good so far, just want to warn you about something. In LoC, we have a... limited view of divinity, especially when it comes to omniscience... learning names is fine, but in general, its better to think of yourself as a very (VERY) powerful PC... anything thats not a secret you can technically learn or find out about, but you won't find out about it by sitting in a tower somewhere and having the information just appear in your brain because some halfling whispered it halfway across the universe
V,
Spent one PP too much on a specialization (they're 1 PP, not 2). Enjoy!
Yes...
How true. Okay... well, then I'm merely curious... why did you pick that name?
V,

I don't suppose you know how many PP I have now then, do ya? :P
I *think* I'm at the max, but I might be wrong.

Oh... I didn't know that the Soulshards was an existing race...
And I had named that because the elementals keep peices of the everforming- evercollapsing gateway to the Astral Sea-- in the form of crystalline shards filled with the bare glimpses of their own souls. That's where I got the name Soulshard from. If you want me to change it, I'd be more than happy to.
And "Horrid Thing That Tortured My Poor God But Actually Was Doing Him A Favor." Thats how Itja refers to you in his head :D
Mother too, I bet.
And "Horrid Thing That Tortured My Poor God But Actually Was Doing Him A Favor." Thats how Itja refers to you in his head :D
He goes by many titles, some with more syllables than others, all equally legitimate.
Ok, So I attempted to map out more or less where everyones Populaces are currently located:
Dark Red Star- The Dragonborn settlement.
Yellow Star- The Soulshard Nation.
Green Hesagon- Warped Court
Pink Circle- The Mushroom Kingdom
Brown X- Crossroads/Revenants
Orange Triangle- Arc Inimicus/Kruthiks
Blue Triangle- former location of Nihiliath
Red Star of David- Theyir'Riyeht
White Diamond- Halflings/Ogres
Red Lightning- Fire Elementals (I imagine them being spread throughout the mountain, though
there are only a handful).
Purple Right Triangle- Bahanet
Black Star- Eidolons.
That look good to everyone? Have I missed anything?
Though I hadn't realized how many people were in that continent. Its a little bit frightening.
Wow... I had no idea how much room we have left on Sairok. 
I... did what I could. Not much to go with
Nice, though I don't suppose you could provide a key as to what all those symbol thingies are? I think the bright green things are the sea mats, but beyond that...
Was there something specific you were looking to get from my god? You started this conversation, and your responses are getting shorter and shorter. Were you trying to steer me to something, or is the conversation just petering out?
~Triskelion: Soulshard Nation~
"Oh, how dare you harm my creations! The elements shall curse your benevolent ways, mighty storm!
Just want to tell you that you're awesome.
That is all.
~Topheh.
P.S. A smart move with the red hair... I/Itja am a sucker for redheads :P
Why thank you Topheh ;).
Oh and I know, I've been stalking you for six weeks to get a better idea of how I should make the Mother/me look to appeal to you. I mean... who said that
...what! You had your chance, and you blew it! >:D
Might I just point out that this is the most dysfunctional love triangle ever? In a good way . Now if only we could get Davos in on it someway... if we include tentacles, or as close to it as we have available, I think it'd appeal to just about every fetish
Incidentally, if Itja-Rek actually had biological functions, I'm pretty sure his head would explode from that ;)
Also, aren't we technically a quadrangle now?

Eidt:Oh whatever, I give up. You know what I mean.
Perhaps if he was a little more... judgemental
By any chance did you mean a little "less"?
In my case, were you waiting on me for something else? Forgot about it? Not interested? All of the above, and you hate my guts to boot?
Ara and I talked this over in chat -- neither of us reached your mind. We found each other instead. Which is... interesting in its own right. :P
1) Yes, I have been referencing the Rime of the Ancient Mariner (cause I know everyone was wondering about that...)
2) Despair has never actually told anyone his name.
Two items for the record:
1) Yes, I have been referencing the Rime of the Ancient Mariner (cause I know everyone was wondering about that...)
2) Despair has never actually told anyone his name.
1. I do enjoy Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
2. I can change it if you want, but since it did not come up in actual dialog (and thus can be assumed that the actual explanation was paraphrased), it can safely be assumed that in their deliberations, Despair was actually referred to as "that ominous fog-thing".
Shadow, aye. I'm doing my homework on Agrilnost. In all honesty, I was quite undecided until the last minute to give this one the same name. I'm making a few intentional changes to the personality, to help underline that this isn't the same god resurrected or reborn, but an echo, an after image of the original.
Ritreaude, there is a reason why I like to call your creations "Bob's"
Veok! YOU SHALL PAY! :P
P.S.: I love how this LoC has seemingly devolved into -- "want to make a new populace? Well, start by seducing Anubis..." XD
I'm just the jerky boyfriend who keeps insulting his girl but she keeps coming back to him anyways. I'm far better, clearly! :P
Thought has it about right, but anyone who says they aren't enjoying the shift in dynamic is a stinking rotten liar.
Also, behave boys, don't fight over me too hard 
Perhaps we should band together and stay out of the soap opera?
Nooo, you must fall in love with each other or something and add to the drama!
One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us! One of us!
...okay I am in a really odd mood today.
Or from a different perspective, what about multi-exarchs that are combat type? Do only one of them have to be involved in a battle to grant the benefit, or do they all have to be there? Or if the exarch looses, can all of them be imprissoned, even if not all of them participated?
So while only one of them may be shackled, it effectively prevents the others from doing anything (unless the others are standing around their imprisoned brethren).
combat multi-exarchs are the same way -- if not all of the 'parts' participate, they can't grant their combat bonus. In this case, again, even imprisoning only those who were part of the fight has the same mechanical ramifications (not being able to spend PP) as if they had all been imprisoned.
And remember, if your god knows that their exarch is imprisoned, all they have to do is *poof* over and undo the shackles themselves -- it's only a minor artifact after all. The trick is to capture an opposing exarch in such a way that their absence is not noticed. ;)
Actually, V... I take a bit of issue with your subversion of the Bahenet in that way. Nobody and I mean nobody, not even them knows what happens to their souls, and as you haven't actually visited the Altar, I can't see how you would know either. So go edit in visiting the altar or something, otherwise I shall call you a godmoder!
~Thought
You might come back to find... things more messy than you like. Bwahahaha!
Actually, Joran, three things:
1) Yes I believe you do still have another 3pp, I dont think you spent any last turn which means that 3 carried over into this week.
2) Your expenditures I believe are a little off. The dragonborn would already have some familiarity with Alchemy, so you need only spend 1pp as a specilization. Counterbalancing that though, creating an organization like the dragoons is 2pp.
3) I am going to roll with it for now but realize you are not automatically everywhere Shi'vya is. Veok's attack was against a small Soulshard outpost, and it seemed rather obvious that malice was not targetting a settlement with two gods already standing in the middle of it.
To note, contrary to what it might seem, I'm still without internet, more or less. I'm trying to keep up on my phone, but texting a post would be insane.
Veok's attack was against a small Soulshard outpost, and it seemed rather obvious that malice was not targetting a settlement with two gods already standing in the middle of it.
That would clear up some of the confusion that I have, except for one small problem-- there's only one Soulshard nation currently on the Triskelion Continent.
All other elemental nations are not a part of the Soulshard nation. Whatever veok thought existed didn't exist.
[edit] ...unless veok was thinking about the small group that followed the drahken through the forest. But that's not an outpost-- they were still a part of the same nation. They were not establishing any outpost where they were.
Now on the note of posting more often, well I would, but being evicted last weekend has put a large damper on my internet access. I am staying with my brother, but he doesn't have internet (yet). So my posting will be slow for a while.
Even still, if there happens to be a post previous that two people are together and someone else shows up and only addresses one with out even acnowledging the other would imply rudeness, or that that person only has a message for one of the two. SO, in the thing of harkon/armal, he only wanted/needed to talk to schi'vya no need to address me (even though it still seems off, but understandable). In the thing of the golden one, not addressing both would be seen as rude due to just showing up for sociable conventions.
So, while I may or may not be able to post often unless schi'vya goes somewhere else and we depart company (which can/might happen eventually) I am still near her, and I do believe a giant dragon would be hard to miss.
That would clear up some of the confusion that I have, except for one small problem-- there's only one Soulshard nation currently on the Triskelion Continent.

[edit] ...unless veok was thinking about the small group that followed the drahken through the forest. But that's not an outpost-- they were still a part of the same nation. They were not establishing any outpost where they were.
The act of making a group a nation indicates population growth and expansion. By spending the PP to develop the nation, it is assumed that small bands of elementals, virago, and whatever else component creatures settle down into small cities, thorps, hamlets, and villages. That is by definition. So while there may be only a single large city / population center within the nation, it can't be assumed that there is nowhere else where a group of virago, elementals, and what have you, who associate themselves with the Soulshard nation, have settled down.
Unless it is clearly established that a particular group is strictly a city-state, some outward sprawl is implicit.
In other news, I will be less without internet than I thought I would be.
SO, in the thing of harkon/armal, he only wanted/needed to talk to schi'vya no need to address me (even though it still seems off, but understandable).
Actually, Harkon and Armal started by asking a question of both of you, but only xeadin responded, so only she got talked to.
@ Veok, perhaps it is that I think the soulshard nation is to the west of the Triskelion, while you said you were dealing with a settlement to the east? Just wild guess
[EDIT] Question answered
*mutter*
Hmm... I have lots of PP... *looks at the eladrin* :P
Ah well, nothing I can do about it when I only get online maybe once every two days, now is there?
Overtly meta-gaming
*mutter mutter*
/wink
And hey, I've been lurking for several days now! You should be pleased I'm not flat out dumping my PP into nourish / denourish.
*Glares at anyone, ever, who has ever, ever, ever spent more than a single PP on a single nourish / denourish action*
*Realizes pot is calling the kettle black and stops glaring*
What if the pot was pink or something?
In other news, I am going to get to doing stuff with stuff, don't despair. Just chalk it up to me being lazy or something. Procrastination would be a good word here.
Ah, I see I am being... guided. I shall play along!
But for all intents and purposes, each god has only existed since their first post in the IC. After all, one of the main rules of LoC is: If it didn't happen in the IC, it didn't happen.
So yes, you could *say* that you did stuff before, and people could choose to go along with it, but everyone is perfectly within their rights to think you're a raving lunatic.
*looks at Aaviz*
Anywho, while you could allude to things you believe may or may not have happened to you before you entered the world, you certainly cannot have any knowledge of anything that happened in the world when you weren't present, either through not being ascended yet or from not being physically present. The obvious exception being if someone specifically told you about it.
Did ya just forget about them? Am I raving mad and misremembering something that didn't actually happen? Susan?
So yeah, reset. Yay!
I am (nearly) home again (will be back for good tomorrow night).
Over the next few days, if I am not addressing an interaction, please send me a PM or remind me in some other way... being gone for roughly two weeks means that I might miss something.
In other news, I'm finally moving forward with my plans to run a play-by-chat. Check out this thread for details!
community.wizards.com/lordsofcreation/go...
Joran, post #1437. Either thats a 2 PP teach of super-alchemy or a 1 PP specialization (nourish)... which is it?
Xeadin, post #1445. As Paladins are a standard class, they're not really right for a teach. Perhaps an organization or a specialization instead?
Thought, post #1455. This is a THIN shell of water, yes?
Xeadin, post #1463. Same as before... you don't need to 'teach' people to be rangers.
I apologize for not getting to this earlier, but here are some concerns/adjustments to the last two weeks' of posts.

Ok I thought it was just a standard teach action. I'll edit to specialization when I get a chance to.
There are two Eladrin nations - The Warped Court and the Wygrove Confederacy. I assume you meant the former, but better to be specific.
{ "Look! A serpent carrying a basket has burst out from a tree and it wants to kill us! RUUUUUUNNN"
} It's things like that that want to make you create senseless jokes that makes no sense, but I guess that's the glory of brainstorming the inevitable.And Xeadin -- Remember my clause about the Feymire Shackles -- they make the prisoner mute. The Reaper's screams can only be heard inside her own head. All passerby's would hear is a petrified tree that echoes eerily when they walk past: *clearly*, it is haunted. ;)
1) Those sections of your post that you declared 'secret'... aren't really (well, the second one *could* be if you really wanted it to, I guess). They're certainly under the cover of night, but 'secret' actions are more reserved for 'things nobody else should even notice is happening' and killing and destroying and buring... aren't exactly unnoticeable (without PP being spent, that is)
2) Gonna need a bit more of an explanation of how you got those elves, there... they're rather far away from Nihiliath and as far as I can tell, the Illithids had no prior knowledge of them, so its a bit... RP-bad to just suddenly be capturing them without any IC text to support finding them in the first place!
Also, PbC is starting tomorrow. Check the LoC forum for more details.
P.S. I am sad that you are keeling the warped court's mindflayers. After all, they aren't even aware of the existence of the Drakken, other than as the group who made trade possible between them.
And aye, I had planned on doing more with the Warped Court Mindflayers, but my time table had to be accelerated significantly to conform to occuring events. I bet the lords and lynns had thought I had forgotten about them :P
I was wondering if this game was still active and if it is still possible to join?
God Name: Hirudi
Greater Domain: -
Moderate Domains (up to 2): Madness, Abberations, Dragons
Minor Domains (up to 4): Hydras, Hunger, Lust
Appearance: At first glance, the goddess Hirudi seems to nohing more then a giant coiled mass of slimy, hungry gargantuan eels, each ending in a dragonlike maw. Deep within this crawling mass, her true form is hidden, which is that of a long dark serpentine creature.
She has a feminine torso with four slender arms ending in six fingered hands. From the waist down she has a wormlike body that continues to divide in the thousand coils that make up the rest of her body.
Her face looks like a cross between a beautifull elven maiden and that of a hagfish. Although blind, the thousand dragonlike eels provide her with all the awareness she needs.
Holy Symbol: A mass of eels
*goes off to hide his exarch named Aramorg*
Name: The Seven
Greater Domain: --
Moderate Domains (up to 2): Moon, Pestilence, Animals
Lesser Domains (up to 4): Fear, Sleep, Pleasure, Runes
Physical Appearance: A massive swarm of assorted insects with the capacity to coalesce into seven distinct figures.
Symbol: A single flame with several moths flying towards it.
Personality/Core Concept: Intentionally a mixed bag, The seven are harbingers, though of what one can never be sure. At least one of their seven bodies possessed of one mind often appear before, during, and after calamity strikes and render the will of some unknown power to those present.
PS: I realize my domains have a heavy lean. It's not that I intend to act like a douche and break everyones toys, it's that these are all domens I felt could be used to create telling omens of both good and bad.
*quietly puts away plans for an exarch based on Defluo*
Come on in, Sina
Thank you for the welcome Topheh.
my last post whas a while ago (6 months maybe :p), but I was thinking of coming back to the game, so in order to bring back my (quite inactive) god I just have to restart posting right?
fixed it ;)
Name: Donovyet
Domain: Inspiration
Appearance: A tall, bald goblin with a big smile, covered in patches of craft-related materials(paint, clay, grease, as if he just left a workshop).
Holy Symbol: A candle, burned down to a nub.
