So are these "newer gods" going to be ran by you? Are they comparable in power level with the players or are they related to the players' deities the same way the PCs are related to the Elder gods? When I first read your writeup I assumed that the main play of the game would more or less involve tapping the new gods on the shoulder and going "Yo. I think you're on my domain."...more or less. Or is it "Hi New God! You know, I don't particularly care that you're the god of Mortal Combat, because I've been the god of video games since before you were born. Nice to meet you."Or are you planning/predicting that the main play of the game will be the players backstabbing each other and showing what jerks they can be on the forums? That's important to me, because if the game is all about letting people show off their wish-fulfillment rage fantasies to the other players rather than acting in at least a thin veneer of a common interest I'm not sure I'm as interested. "Only three of them can be over 5 ranks"..."non-specific numbers of points"...I'm not sure what this means. I think I get what you're after, but I'm not as clear that everything is on the same exact page? If we're not supposed to pick the ranks in something, and we're not supposed to know an exact number of points, how can we keep a rank less than 5? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just unclear how you're supposed to structure a write-up mechanically right now? Or is that the idea, that more or less everyone would be better off ditching a mechanical detail of the proposals altogether because they're not really what you're after/you're going to go back and revise them to your mechanics that you've got on your end later/you're just winging it and I'm being really annoying by asking questions?Cool.That's because I thought our "first" side was going to be in kicking the crap out of the newbie gods and taking back our deity-pants.</blockquote>
