[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8418472, member: 6801228"] I can understand the confusion, as the conversation has gone in some pretty large circles. Max has claimed that the only way to be a god is to have a large body of worshipers. Or, if you are in FR, to have AO say you are a god. I pointed out that Iuz was a demigod, despite having a massive empire that worshiped him, meanwhile gods like Incabulos are full gods, but have very few worshipers. Max takes this to mean that Iuz wasn’t really worshiped, that his entire empire just pretended to worship him because it turns out that he was too nasty, mean, and summoned demons, so people would never truly worship him like they do the god of “spread disease to every corner of the planet” I think that is a load of bull. So, I have been pointing out that he WAS worshiped. That his worship only increased over the years, and that there is no reason to believe that in 90 years of his reign (because his empire lasted despite him being imprisoned) he was not able to indoctrinate the population into actually worshiping him, and that they were just going through the motions and pretending for four generations. Max has countered by saying that Iuz was captured and the Horned Society existed, so clearly the writers saying that he was worshiped as a full god were wrong, because he wasn’t a full god, he was captured. And other such head-scratchers. [/QUOTE]
