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

I will not accept a ground-up, homebrew Divinus wiki unless it is a cloud agile behaviour driven gamified synergistic holistic user-oriented Node module written in Ruby on Rails and Python can be for acceptance testing. With user metadata collected.

More seriously, you can do this as a pet project, @WrongEndoftheRainbow, but it's going to be most practical for us if it's a website/webapp so we don't have to push changes to you and download new releases all the time.

That said, @BBeast, I can see merit in not having to load many megabytes of images every time I open the character tab. It's a little frustrating when the first 10+ seconds of loading makes the post you're looking for get shunted down over and over again until there are no more banners and massive maps to download and display. However, that's a pet peeve at best.

A few points to add to the discussion:

Astartian magic's framework was put into the Codex when Astarte poked little holes into the paper at the start. Toun has already exploited this via the magical siphons that sustain white giants. He knows it pretty intimately, seeing as he tried and failed to patch it out with the other chaos before Fate and Amul ate the punch-cards.

Speaking of Toun, his calligraphy was also build into the codex as it was kind-of the programming language he used. It would still be around if he skived off.

By the way, Rtron's been developing stuff with Tounic calligraphy in the background. Not sure when it's coming, but we'll see.

Edit: Oh yeah, and there's Kaolokinesis. That's technically magic. Screws with your head, though. I haven't done much with it outside of Cornerstone.

Okay, I'll treat it as Jvan signing for now. If you'd like to change your mind with the other option, let me know. Just make sure that it's certain before it gets to the point where Jvan is involved in deicide again.

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

Hmm. Alright, I guess it depends on whether part of Jvan is still a fraction of the splinter-mind or whether it's just the collective consciousness of Jvan's cult using Jvan's creations to communicate.

If it's the former, she's bound. "I wasn't completely myself" isn't a valid excuse. If it's the latter, Jvan's cult as a whole would be bound forever more unless the collective consciousness is completely erased and remade in a different form, but perhaps Jvan herself would not be bound throughout that case.

If I have to arbitrate Heartworm, I would rule that avatars of signatories are subject to the terms as well, seeing as they are technically still a manifestation of the deity's will. If Jvan did sign the oath, in order for Heartworm to be free from the terms of the contract, he would have to completely sever his connections with Jvan and become an independent entity, presumably a demigod or something to that effect.

Oi, @Antarctic Termite. Is that Jvan I see signing the Oath of Stilldeath, or are you calling this rebel hive-mind Spiral Palms now?

Or is Spiral Palms one of your urtelem sculptors this whole time and I'm too tired to remember?

Nice posting as always.

The larger skeletons of the men and mer beyond the staircase only made the place more ominous. Fendros' eyes lingered on them as they passed. It was hard to tell from their positions what killed them.

"It's almost as if there was a battle here," Fendros remarked. "But they've either been picked clean or it was something else." He looked ahead again. "I'm beginning to hope it's the former. There has to be something deterring the Falmer."

Sabine contributed to the conjecture. "Maybe they tried settling here like us."

Fendros hummed. "I don't know. There might be more evidence either way further in."

...Kho looked through his binoculors, and through them he saw some sheep eating from a trough.
'They'll get through that trough,' Kho thought to himself, 'so I better go get another trough before they get through that first trough.'
But despite his efforts, and though he did his best to get another trough before the sheep got through the first trough, them sheep were quick and had finished the first trough before Kho came back with the second.
'You lot sure can get through a trough or two, can't you.'

@Kho

That's kinda mean, but I have to admit that I chuckled.

Capy, I had just assumed that you were writing on a device that was autocorrecting your throughs to troughs.

Five! Five posts I have fallen behind on, ah-ah-ah!

Sabine had stepped back to allow Ri'vashi to break out the dragon tooth, but she ducked in quickly to retrieve it once it came loose. It was only after a few seconds of inspecting it in both her hands that she chirped a quick "Thank you" to Ri'vashi.

Looking at the crack in the creature's skull, Fendros was just as baffled as the rest of them were. He slowly responded to Ahnasha's disbelief. "This is just a guess, but...do you think perhaps the weapons on a centurion could crack a skull like this? I don't know what dragonfire is like, but it might be tough enough to get close, judging by what it took to kill the last one." He looked to the pack and shrugged. "It would be mindless enough, at least."

Janius' curiosity turned into concern as he sniffed at the skull. His ears went back and he looked to the others. He was terse in an effort to try and stay intelligible. "What killed this...killed the Falmer...same thing. Could still be here." Janius stretched his head up, standing higher on his hind legs to try and sniff at the air.

Sabine peered up from the dragon tooth partway through testing its hardness against a touchstone. Janius' revelation brought her back into reality enough to pocket the tooth and start paying more attention.

Shit! Kho finally realised that Toun is just Jerry Seinfeld!
