Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, I got started with writing online on the Spore forums. Man, those were the days. We're talking like 12 years ago 2010-ish!
I've been here on and off for almost as long, and have GM'd a bunch of different things to varying success.
Isn't the whole transference about balancing it between the active gods and the inactive gods?
The inactive gods don't need that Might and would've just been deleted. Essentially we're just pulling this out of nowhere. For all intents and purposes, I see this as us just handing out more bonus Might except only to a few people instead of everyone. Essentially, we'd be bailing you out.
Because I will not lie, right now I feel a bit punished for having been active in the last period of inactivity.
Not sure what to tell you or honestly how you can even say that. You chose to spend that Might then and I'm not sure why you'd expect to have the impact of that rendered pointless by you getting all that Might back.
Edit: To elaborate, my reasoning is that if we're going to give Might as a reward for spending Might, then it defeats the whole purpose and we may as well just stop using Might.
The shadowy god of trickery woke up screaming from a terrible nightmare about the horrors of the Korean War! The demons inside his head wouldn't leave him alone. Sighing, he got up and made him a coffee then went out to polish his Gran Torino. Then he got opened his iPad (Even though he was probably one of those annoying old people that just refer to it as a 'computer' because they're ignorant that such a term brings to mind something like a desktop! Seriously, get with it or GTFO you stupid old people!) and after struggling to figure out how to open Facebook for a good fifty years, finally gave up and clicked random buttons. He sighed as he accidentally pulled up his Yahoo! Mail, and briefly wondered why in the hell a company would name themselves Yahoo! with the exclamation point and all. But such thoughts were brushed aside when he saw an intriguing subject line on one email!
Subject: Dear Respected One,
Dear Great God,
GREETINGS,
Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into business relationship with you. I got your contact from the International web site directory. I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to it's esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trust worthy person I can do business with and by the recommendations I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere business.
I am Wumi Abdul Amartia; the only Daughter Chaos Spawn of late Mr and Mrs George Abdul. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Abidjan,the economic capital of Ivory Coast ogre slaver operating in the Venomweald region before he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outing to discus on a business deal. When my mother died on the 21st October 1984, my father took me and my younger brother HASSAN special because we are motherless. Before the death of my father on 30th June 2002 in a private hospital here in Abidjan. He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of $12.500.000 (Twelve Million, five hundred thousand dollars) a fuckload of Might points left in a suspense account in a local Bank here in Abidjan, that he used my name as his first Daughter for the next of kin in deposit of the fund.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth and some huge amount of money his business associates supposed to balance his from the deal they had that he was poisoned by his business associates, that I should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in a country of my choice where I will transfer this money and use it for investment purpose, (such as real estate management). Sir, we are honourably seeking your assistance in the following ways.
1) To provide a Bank account where this money Might Points would be transferred to.
2) To serve as the guardian of this since I am a girl of 26 years. some random demigod that nobody trusts
Moreover Sir, we are willing to offer you 15% of the sum as compensation for effort input after the successful transfer of this fund to your designate account overseas. please feel free to contact ,me via this email address wumi1000abdul@yahoo.com
Anticipating to hear from you soon. Thanks and God Amul'Sharar Bless. Best regards. Amartia
PLEASE FOR PRIVATE AND SECURITY REASONS,REPLY ME VIA EMAIL:
"Hmm, seems legit!" Vakarlon exclaimed to himself, not realizing the irony in that he was the God of Deception falling for a Nigerian Prince scam. He promptly wired all his Might Points to this 'Amartia' fellow!
ONE DAY LATER
Sin giggled as he walked into the local pharmacy, debit card in hand. Oh how he would enjoy all that sweet conned earned Might that he had acquired through some less than ethical ways. He grabbed fifteen shopping carts and carried them around, because apparently he's as strong as that Ialu fellow that can pummel dragons. When he finally filled each and every one of them to the brim and went to the checkout line. "YOU CAN'T BUY 200 MIGHT'S WORTH OXYCONTIN WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION! HOW DID YOU EVEN GET IT FROM BEHIND THE COUNTER?"
Mammon's snores echoed loudly through the dark depths of his tunnels, deep within the bowels of Galbar. The air itself tasted of evil, and as he sat in his underworld dreaming of how he would make new demons to brutally torture and "test" the denizens of the worlds above, he laughed at how he still passed off some story about being above morality. No, he was very, very evil and he loved it!
Suddenly, there came the pounding of footsteps! The Corruptor himself opened one eyelid, and the smoldering oculus within pierced through the darkness and saw the approaching figure of a demigod. Lo and behold, it was Lifprasil, Hero of Men, Demigod of...er...Emotions! He was here to kill the Devil and save the day!
Without a word, Mammon's maw opened to reveal rows of daggerlike teeth, and with a mighty roar he spewed fire everywhere. Lifprasil laughed as these pitiful flames were deflected by his Plot Armor, then proceeded to kill Mammon and drink his blood because...uh...he would think of a sensible reason later! Right now, he was just happy to have earned another 10 Might! Now he could finally get around to making that sex dungeon...
On the topic of transferring Might from the inactives, I'm opposed to us simply deciding OOC to bail out certain chaarcters. It defeats the prupose of the Might system.
However, even though it's somewhat contradictory to what I just said, I'd be fine if some of the inactive gods' power was absorbed as part of the story. It's just hard to imagine Niciel hacking one of those gods to bits and then devouring their soul for power.
Perhaps instead of essentially giving out bonus Might, we declare hunting season and give everyone permission to tie up some loose ends and take some Might in the process? Just a thought. At least they'd have to earn their bonus Might with an IC post or two that involves their character actually doing something to obtain it.
...oh boy, this means that it would probably be Vestec who would get the lion's share of all that Might.
Aren't we already in the Bronze Age? Teknall is handling metalworking with the Rovaick and that technology can spread, Kyre is teaching the Hain about warfare, weaponry, and maybe even a bit of siege tactics, and through the ogres and the humans in Vetros I'll be soon introducing some magic and the concepts of slavery/feudalism.
I can't wait to start writing. Any ETA on getting into the RP?
Just give us GMs a day or two to talk over your character concept and how it can fit in.
Your taking of the domain and portfolio implies that you intended to start as a demigod. That's fine, but one question to bring up is Lazarus' creation. Did you have any god(s) in mind as a parent/designer/crafter of Lazarus, or did you want to go for some other means of origin?
I'll go forward and offer to have Zephyrion be involved somehow in Lazarus' making if you want. Being influenced by the god of change would fit into your theme of shifting alignment and forms.
Well @Flynn Chugo has reacted so I think we're waiting on you. @Buddha could probably have Bastien say something, but beyond that you could move us on to the next day whenever you want. Right now all I could really do is have Chugo give Ella a funny look as he walks past her as she enters and he leaves, but I don't think such a thing is major enough to warrant me posting.
I reckon that if @The Narrator and @Ryuzaki don't post in the next 24 hours we should consider that their respective characters met with a...series of unfortunate events leading to untimely demise.
>Figures that people will be lazy and just say that some random Khargat brigands killed those people >Realizes the implications of this >Suspects that Chugo will be under fire again >That would be a lot of bad shit for Chugo. >Too much bad shit to overlook. They'll punish him for being a heathen and all those other things too! >He'll probably get executed. >My character would have died from court intrigue before page 2...
