[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 2413880, member: 9026"] OOC: *GAH! just posted big long well worded reply then accidentally hit back button on explorer!!! Must re-write* OK We're having a slight problem here.. GOD-MODING. It may sound strange seeing as how this IS a 'diety roleplay' but it IS a problem. EX: Tocho Attacks Jo'kar. Jo'kar posts chucking him off with ease. EX: Jemal creates undead, Tocho says no he doesn't. (Also, I'ld like to point out that the Alcemists/wizards wouldn't have TIME to distill the power b/c the whole battlefield ended up decimated within moments.) There are others but those are the two most recent ones. Now we can't ban ALL God-moding in this game b/c of the simple fact that.. well... WE'RE GODS!!!! BUT, we can institute a couple of rules. NOW, I've been in several succsesful Free-Form RPGS (by succsesful I mean ones that ran for months/Years and didn't die out young). Now some of the rules from those we can't use, but there are the two MAJOR ones which apply even to GODS. I would like to propose we use these. Rule 1 : You cannot post what happens to another God.. You can post what you DO to them, but not how they react or how it affects them. IE: "I throw a punch at Traume" is acceptable. "I Hit Traume in the face, sending him flying" is not. Rule 2 : You cannot change something that has allready been written/posted to say it never happened UNLESS you have a VERY plausible reason. BTW, what I would like to see happen with this game is that the gods eventually learn to be GODS instead of the squabbling Over-powered Children we're currently acting like. This way we could basically set up a campaign setting with our very own self-made History, Pantheon, multiverse, multiple planets full of creatures, etc.. and once the gods have 'withdrawn' and stopped directly interfering, set it up as a campaign setting for people to DM in, like was done with Living ENworld or Ebberon or.. well name any campaign setting.
