@poog the pig He PMed me and I told him that he should submit a CS, have yet to hear back from him, so I don't know what help is needed.

@Vec Just want to say, haven't got round reading your dragon sheet in full, but it looks bloody epic. So many hider within hiders, leading onto alleys full of hiders which hide within them hiders, which are themselves hiding hiders which are hidden in hiders.

Apologies if I've hurt anyone's feelings. Hate to cave, but I really don't want to be kicked out of this RP. Won't mention politics again.

@Lugubrious

You were never in any danger whatsoever XDD remember @Frettzo is from a country that has suffered much due to US intervention and your words may have come across as hurtful. He has a right to be hurt, but then again, you have a right to speak your views.

Edit: ninjad. I'll shut up now.

By 'politics' I'm talking about the election process, and by 'we' I mean individual people like me and Cyclone. For instance, we don't make who's trying to be Britain's Prime Minister our business, because we don't rightly understand the political situation in Britian and it's be hasty and stupid to make assumptions based on whatever people say the most.

Way to blow everything out of proportion of what's actually being discussed. For your information, I'm well aware of the country's involvement in others'. Wasn't what I was talking about, though. As the GM, aren't you supposed to be the least contentious person here, and attempt to stymie political jabs and arguments rather than incite them? I don't know what your need to assert yourself over Americans is, but it's not nice.

@Lugubrious

As a person who is so well-informed, you should realise the effects the USA has all over the world. American politics, presidents, economy et al has an effect on everyone all over the world. This is our planet, it's not our fault the USA happens to be the global hegemon and controller of the fates of billions.

But in any case, much of what I say is said in jest (though the above isn't) and that doesn't carry well over the internet. I have nothing against Americans, I just find how much you guys dislike all things British quite amusing (like the whole biscuit/cookie thing xDD)
And yes, you're right, I shouldn't be inciting political strife. If anyone has anything insightful and not too controversial or offensive, feel free to say. This is an open platform and I fully support tolerant, humorous and elevated discourse.

You want the opinion of me, a 'US dweller'?

Donald Trump is honestly my favorite contender for the Republican nomination. My first choice would have been Rand Paul, but of course he was too reasonable to attain any significant following among the Conservative base and dropped out early on in the primaries. Kasich similarly hasn't gained enough momentum to earn my serious consideration.

And what can you UK dwellers have on us? I'm still waiting for you lot to vote the BNP into power

@Cyclone

<Snipped quote by Cyclone>

Trump isn't a conservative. He's only recently adopted a few conservative ideas in order to take advantage of people's anger, which has been his shtick from the beginning. Aside from being the epitome of rude and ostentatious, he's even gone so far as to say 'everything's negotiable' in regards to his position. No conservative with a grain of common sense thinks that he's a good option, but a lot of people would rather have an asshat president than a criminal or a socialist. If the US had to sacrifice pride, freedom, or the rule of law, pride ought to be first to go.

His goal isn't to represent conservative ideals: it's the aggrandization of Donald Trump. But there are worse choices out there.

My favorite for a long time was Ben Carson, but unfortunately he couldn't get enough momentum.

Anyway, where do non-US people get off making assumptions about American politics? We let you mind your own business, don't we?

<Snipped quote by Frettzo>

Not true in the long run. When the election process begins, there's a huge amount of different possible candidates, all representing the different factions and subsets of those factions, the point being to have a great width of ideologies represented. Over time the pool dwindles until there's only one for each faction, and then the real election is held. Right now we're in the middle of the process.

@Lugubrious

<Snipped quote by Cyclone>

I met Trump, once, when he did a meet and greet business seminar in NY several years back. My family was one of the first in line, and I was in High School at the time. He actually seemed rather impressed that all of my siblings, myself included, wanted to play an active part in my parents business. He took one look at me "You're the one the kids pick on, aintcha?"

At the time, I was actually being bullied horribly by my fellow classmates for a variety of different reasons, and I guessed it showed through my demeanor.

"That's cause you aren't hungry enough. They see you have something going on, but you ain't hungry enough. They want to keep you down. They have nothing. You want that to change, you need to to want it so bad you're starving. You go back, hold your head high, and punch them in the goddamn throat in anything you do in life. Because I know when someone can be hungry."

I was 15/16ish. I'm 23, going on 24, with my own business separate from my parents, a college degree under my belt, and a happy loving family to stand behind me. The people who bullied me in school are either dead, in jail, became teenage parents, or wound up with dead-end menial jobs. So to any of you, I will say this:

My vote for President of the United States of America is going to go to the man who pulled me to the side and made me hunger for success with a three minute conversation.

@Dawnscroll

WAIT! So you guys are the moderates? Everything makes sense now.
You see, everyone else in the world was like: Well, Bernie has this in the bag. Little did we know...
And Lugu, not sure if you were joking with your 'Anyway, where do non-US people get off making assumptions about American politics? We let you mind your own business, don't we?' but...*looks at endless list of US interventions in other countries, US-backed coups, US-backed dictators, US-backed *NOT* democra-*

Not to mention that what's going on technically isn't against Reathos's beliefs. They're causing along of death, but they're not doing anything like preventing souls from passing, using necromancy, or messing with True Names and stuff.

@Dawnscroll

...did you read my WiP Chronos sheet or something? What do you know of True Names? *suspicious glare*

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

Good lord people, my country has gone full bananas and is starting to trip on itself. Might have my post consistency hurt because of it, the last two were already rushed

Also, new page thing, I just love doing these :3
Use it well Lif, cause this is the last time Ilunabar is helping a non-dying hero

My Hider

Also, @Kho
I will ask again, is it okay to describe the evolution of a species across the eons before spending might to turn the species into intelligent humanoids? I kinda want to start working it now instead of making it sudden when I get the might to create them.

@Double Capybara

Even though I'm going to do exactly what you're trying to avoid (mainly because of time constraints, don't have the luxury of developing beautiful, detailed stuff over several posts T-T) I will say that yes, you are permitted to do that.

AND EXPLAIN THAT! Explain it, explain it all!
Hmm, I'm guessing your issue isn't with Donald. (speaking of which, @Hael@Cyclone@Lugubrious[@AllYouUSdwellers] wth?! get rid of him already, you've had your fun, everyone's wet their pants)

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@KabenSaal We've reviewed your CS and are unanimously agreed that the idea is very good and has great potential. We are therefore accepting the idea, but with emphasis on what Cyclone said: you need to tweak the CS slightly in order for it fit in. Nothing much, and I'm sure @Cyclone will be more than happy to assist you.

More importantly, I just want to emphasise that the writing quality (not length of posts, quality of posts) for this RP is above other RPs, and we like to harbour a culture where good quality writing is appreciated, and everyone is encouraged and supported to improve their writing. I therefore want you to come into this RP with the aim of having as much fun as possible, because the only way a person can improve themselves is when they have something to gain, and nothing is more exhilerating than the rush a well-written post will give you ;) trust me on that.

I'd like you to, if you can, install Grammarly and comb through your CS for any grammatical errors, that should help you a great deal in that department.

With that, I say to you: Welcome to this messed up RP, with its messed up Pantheon (and more messed up player base *looks at @Rtron*)

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Kho So question, how do followers effect the generation of Might (and/or FPs)? Like if they have some sort of weekly/monthly/yearly ritual like a communion generate Might? And if it does, do the amount of followers influence the amount of points generated?

@Legion02

For demigods or gods?
If you mean demigods, it's purely based on how many worshippers they have - which should be decided ICly, but if it isn't, will be rolled for.

If you mean with regards to gods, I'm not currently open to increased Might generation from followers. We're not at a civilisational level to allow for such things anyway, the populations are still too low, no religions or Prophets or real formalised worship of gods. Nothing much beyond recognition and awe/fear of gods.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Kho

Glad to see that this is doing good! So Mardox had brought me back from the dead to see if I could join in as a demi-god.

@Lauder

Of course, get a CS up and present to everyone and we should be able to incorporate you soon enough. This is the prime time for demigods to start appearing methinks.
