Lords of Creation OOC Thread

I don't understand... did you guys all play this before?  It's all kinda confusing to me how you guys are making up such coherent/relevant stories (I'll admit I skimmed a lot of stuff, but to be honest there is a lot of tldr)  :-\

Those awaiting rollover

Until the rollover, feel free to follow the IC thread. In the mean time, talk with other players and consider ways of introducing yourself into the story.

I've never played before. I'm a wee bit confused on a few things, bit if you give the instructions a good once over it isn't too bad. That, and it's a story so you just basically have to follow other people's leads, insert some of your own, and see where it goes! (I think...)

I've never played before, and neither has Bedwyr. We're generally just going with our gut instincts and it seems to be turning out for the best.

Also, I'm not sure if creating the basic necessities for the planet costs AP, so I'm going to leave any AP deductions out of my latest post until I get the verdict from the higher ups.

If there is anyone willing, I would like to have a second MOD before the first rollover to handle the increased player count.

I have a quick question: I don't see a description of "utility" artifacts in the artifacts section. I have been assuming that utility artifacts are merely ones that do things that don't necessarily fall under one of the other categories. Is this correct?  Just thought I would ask for clarification.

[JPierreD]

Mortal and Scaping Artifacts are Utility.

[Sacha]

You can take me off the roster for now... I have no clue on how to get started with this, but maybe I'll have another go once this thing is well underway and I have a better idea on how to go about it.

Utility artifacts include Mortal and Scaping type artifacts.

Great, I see now. Thanks!

Also, might I take Sacha's place, then?

No, sorry. Firstly, your character is very much a second generation god. Secondly, while I'm frustrated by Sacha dropping out, I don't want to start making exceptions for the guidelines that have been set. With any luck, this will both make myself and MODS scrutinize applicants harder, and remind players that such things are the death of games like Lords of Creation.

Rules clarification on Create Life

It has been decided that Create Life will be used for the creation of SENTIENT life such as humans, dwarves, devils, etc. The creation of non-sentient life, such as plants, game, birds, and fish, will fall under a broad category of actions I will call "fluffy stuff", and consume no AP. Please update any relevant posts on the IC thread. I'm sorry if this has changed your plans, but the current rules made little sense.

[Bedwyr]

Okay guys, giving Sacha dropping out and a couple of other things, there's been discussion of a restart.  I think people can see how this works a bit better, have had more time to see how their gods are going to work, we've clarified a few of the rules, etc. and we can start up again with more gods in the first-generation and get this going properly.

Are there any objections?

Oh? Where did I specify this?
