!@#$ing "Aliens from the Past". They have a "modern" or "alien" explanation for everything. Gods marching to war? NOOOO! Mechs and spaceships! In Beluaterra? Sounds funny. Why not? Demons, monsters, undeads... and armored Gods marching, firing rockets!

It's better don't have a faith... so far ;)

I love the fact that you put Battletech/Mechwarrior as two separate things. Anyways, the point is that you seem to have an issue with generalizing things, as well as a lack of creativity when it comes to the formation of religions.

Also, the reason you may have never heard them described like that in battle is because you've heard it from the perspective of ancient civilizations, to whom many modern technologies would look like magic, let alone nanotechnology.

Well its all metaphorical clearly, they believe any good thing happening while fighting rogues is one of there gods missiles or such striking down to earth.
fighting rogues grants you the power of the gods.
Or at least that's what i understand from it. (alinea 3 the wya of daishi on there wiki)

Still those gods could also be interpreted as the daimons.
They could easily be labeled as Daimon worshipers. (see the 4th and the 5th alinea of the way of Daishi)

Sorry, but Robotech/Battletech/MechWarrior/Gundam are all the same premise.  They just had different levels of technology to drive the same concepts. 

Also, never quite heard actual myths make the Greco-Roman gods sound anything like that in battle.  Books from the mid 2000s aren't the first to allude to technology = magic, mind you.

I once read a book (Olympos) where post-humans terraformed Mars and turned themselves into Greek gods living on Mount Olympus with nanotechnology and quantum teleported to ancient Greece to intervene in the Trojan War. Pretty interesting actually how sufficiently advanced technology would make possible everything the ancients viewed as the powers of the gods.

That is the very book (you actually missed the first book, Illium) I was referencing.

Please don't do this.

The "sci-fi" feel pushed by Prudent was not approved by -- or even a result of collaboration with -- the other invasion GMs.

Hey guys, I'm going to go start a war, okay?

And now we wait.

I suppose that takes Invictus out of the election? Interesting...

 ;D

If that doesn't start a war, expect some more surprises.

What position was a "Praetor" anyway? Judge?

Yes, and taking down the judge is always interesting.

Considering the bloodspeakers having given themselves lots of different positions the last days, it will be fun to see how they handle the election. Will someone dare to run in it for real or will they get a temporary one?

My source of just information just disappeared :p

It's hard to find someone out of the BS when so many nobles belongs to the religion. Happily, it's easy to find new Judges or just wait to appoint the same.

Happy carnaval, folks!

I'll be honest, I did want to create a religious war, but I saw him and guessed he had enough titles to be important. (And don't worry, this isn't simply OOC, I've been looking for good targets for some time.)
