Victors were originally inspired by Space Marines. They went around screaming 'Death to the CimeXenos! Death to the DyunXenos!'

I also robbed every Abrahamic tale ever of 'those who angered the Lord after he gave them much' for my Eskandars plotline. I'm sorry T-T

Edit: OH OH. And my whole Necromancy fetish is due to this game.

@Kho I'm kinda curious who this is directed at now.

@WrongEndoftheRainbow

It's directed at everybody in this RP. You're all encouraged to look back at your characters and the stories you have created, and see if you feel you have perhaps been rather unoriginal, or copied too much from some sources. It's a call for you all to reflect on what you have done, and to look towards how you can be even better as writers and worldbuilders.

Edit: And of course, I say all this to myself first and foremost, and I shall duly comb through my characters and ideas to ensure that I have not unconsciously or consciously copied from elsewhere without giving due credit.

So, a note regarding plagiarism. (That's a scary word. That's a word that has destroyed what were, till that point, very respectable careers.)

If you do use a quote from a book you've read, or a poem by a real poet, or if you quote a TV series or anime, or if you use an idea from said sources, then you MUST cite it in your summary. For instance, I have in the past used verses from poems - and I have referenced those in detail in the Summary. Using other sources is rarely done in RPs, in my experience, but I personally enjoy it so long as it is within reason, and so long as it is made absolutely clear that the player is not attempting to pass it off as their own.
At times I have quoted a text in spirit if not in form, and still referenced it in the Summary. If you use another person's work in your post, you should let that be known out of principle.

If, on the other hand, it so happens that you are taking entire storylines from other sources and passing them off as your own, or you're taking ideas whole, or even transferring substantial portions from other fantasy worlds into this RP, then I will be tremendously disappointed and will have to take action against it. It is encouraged that you not take entire stories or storylines from other sources (e.g. TV series, movies, anime, novels etc.) as it will almost certainly bring down the overall quality of the RP. Moreover, it is boring for others, who have put in a great amount of effort into creating original characters and worlds. If you merely want to play out a, for instance, Game of Thrones fantasy, or a Naruto fantasy, or a Full Metal Alchemist fantasy, then you can join a GoT or Naruto or FMA RP.

Divinus is meant to be as original as is reasonable (taking into account that near everything has been done before), and it isn't acceptable to transfer whole storylines from external sources, or to build the entirety of your character on stolen concepts and ideas.

Reference everything you do copy in the Summary, and keep everything as original as you can.

There's also Oradin-Thulemiz's necromancy, though that's probably unique to him as it has technically come from a different universe. So any necromancy that develops in this universe may well function in an intrinsically different manner to Oradin's.

@Dawnscroll



Did you just threaten TOBIA? Need to find a way to break her out >.>

I REALLY think you should speak with poog about this, if you haven't already. A duel may well be impossible (I mean, Lif would be mad to duel with Logos anyway, but it may well be impossible for other reasons. GO FORTH AND SPEAKETH TO POOGETH!)

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

@Dawnscroll What's acceptable is generally what is arrived at through agreement between players. It's about building up a story, rather than tearing each other down or attempting to 'win'. Talk with poog and see what makes most sense.

In any case, even if you guys decide not to discuss things and just improvise, it is impossible for Logos to do much damage to Lifprasil given the amount of divine support he has. And his secret weapon.

What is this secret weapon you ask? It nothing other than the

TRUTH! THE GREAT VOWZRID PHILOSOPHY!

So I guess this map is accurate after all, @Cyclone

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

@poog the pig Oh no no >:) you don't get away with it so easily. It seems to me that a certain Lify has completely accepted (with minor differences) the Vowzrid worldview >:))) he is, officially, a proponent of the Vowzrid philosophy: spread the Truth far and wide, oh Lifprasil! Spread it far you elevated one 'mongst Vowzra's elect!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. Very, very GOOD.

Edit: in fact, just go to Logos and tell him that Vowzra wouldn't like what he's doing AT ALL and you might just get Logos to go away without a fight xP

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

@poog the pig Eh, well, that's if you believe that all that Vowzra said is in fact correct. Lifprasil may well believe Vowzra, or may have built on what Vowzra said in his own way, but there is nothing to say that it is in fact true, or even THE Truth (in the ultimate metaphysical sense).
