Rules updated to add a section on Divine Artifacts (can't believe you guys let me leave that out). You may find the information... rewarding.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Ooo...The Autarch wrote:The only exception is if you permanently modify the divine artifact. By spending five times the amount of DSP that it would take to charge the divine artifact for an action in one turn, you can augment it. This augmentation lasts as long as the divine artifact does. You may only do this twice, once when your combined P/S/R equals 5 or more, the second when it reaches 10 or more. Before the 5.0 mark, the first DSP put towards augmenting the divine artifact will give it a slight boost in that direction.
Does this go for artifacts given as prizes in contests?
Not that I have any different ideas than already discussed in mind...

No, sorry.

Thanks!Goatkiller666 wrote:Also, mad props to Isaiah. Great idea playing the former prophet of your own character. I love the continuity there.
Sorta strange moving down-scale...

Going to Savannah, GA for the weekend (Spring Break, baby!). Back Sunday night.

I'm back.
And what is this 'work' you speak of?

So, an interesting side effect of the Autarch's requirement that we post all (but one) non-DSP action into the game thread ourself is that I find myself unwilling to commit to an action by posting most anything before I've submitted it in my turn, and the deeadline has already hit. If I post before the rest have had a chance to act, someone might alter her action based on my post... that leaves me vulnerable, slightly.Menolly wrote:...now if only role playing would carry us through until submittal...
Not meaning that as a criticism, just thinking that this will case most IC posts to be done right after the beginning of the month, followed by weeks of near-silence and private conversations between deities.
Which is weird, because in those other games... I would run the same risk that anything I post before a turn deadline could be used against me by a hostile player. I really cannot justify why the requirement that I post some things myself would make me less likely to post non-mandatory role-playing stuff at other times, but there you go.
Nyx's player has just as much weird emotional baggage as she does.

Hmm. I suppose I can allow the non-DSP actions to be split up over multiple posts. They still have to follow a central theme or storyline, though.
