I did something else, or concluded something I have been doing for some time. Regardless, and Xar will attest to this, I made a mistake with the deadline but no other player's god will be affected.Murrin wrote:So, Lore, did you not mean it when you said you'd postpone it a turn?
Bhakti wrote:Indeed. I have it on good authority, for example, that the correct spelling is hierachy.
Funny you should write that. Well, Nor Yekith's move happens this turn, so the massive DRP expenditure should be described in the mail for this turn. Last turn was the purple radiance.Bhakti wrote:An excellent question, as I was informed of the difficulty of such a thing.
So you're saying I will have to expend almost all of my DRPs? I don't have a problem with that, as I'm winding down from my campaign of experimentation.Xar wrote:Well, Nor Yekith's move happens this turn, so the massive DRP expenditure should be described in the mail for this turn.

I was told all DRP's would be needed to break the "unspoken agreement" we all have to not appear.Loremaster wrote:So you're saying I will have to expend almost all of my DRPs? I don't have a problem with that, as I'm winding down from my campaign of experimentation.
No, as I understand it, all I did was mutate the plague. The transformation is the result, as the plague was almost everywhere. What I am referring to is that my god manifesting requires massive DRP expenditure. If so, next turn I will either spend it or just edit that from happening.Nor Bhakti wrote:I am now quite confused! Nor has already turned in his move for the turn that the rest of us must turn in within another (approximately) 4 days? And The Great Transformation - kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=421811#421811 - is the result? If so, why bother telling us now? Why not simply save it, and tell us after we have all turned in our moves?

However, for game purposes: if you wish to manifest yourself physically, you automatically must allocate all your divine rank points in that manifestation. Physically appearing in the mortal world is extremely taxing: you cannot do that and keep an eye on the general state of the world at the same time. At the same time, your appearance is momentous and shakes everyone who sees your divine presence. So, given that you're putting all your divine rank points in your incarnation, the event you wish to affect with your incarnation will be influenced as if you had put all your divine points in there, plus an additional degree of influence and proselytism due to your very presence. This means that even a tiny demigod who manifests himself will attract loads of followers who wish to bathe in his divine glory.
But there's a drawback: because your attention is focused on one place, you will not be aware of other events in the world for as long as you're incarnated. That means that if declare you want to appear in the world during turn 5, the events that happen to your faith during turn 6 will not be revealed to you until the beginning of the turn after you abandon corporeality (turn 7, in the example).

So, manifesting is a very risky choice. And remember: not only you won't be able to hide the fact you manifested yourself in the mortal world, but as soon as one manifests, the others won't be restrained any more. Among good gods that might not be a problem: but consider that by manifesting, you open the way for your enemies to manifest as well!
The thing is, it was stated at the start that there was statue that represented my god. All I did was make that statue break open and the worm to appear. Okay, perhaps I went too far. Can I say that I made an avatar appear or just some image? I'll spend a DRP next turn to compensate.Simjen wrote:I think Xar also stated in the original Pantheon thread that crossing into the mortal realm was kind of verboten.So, manifesting is a very risky choice.
