Kevin's Watch

It's a good question. If they're mindless--and Argothoth has referred to them as such--then they couldn't add to his number of followers or his DRP, could they? They'd be more like a resource than a following...


(This is less a complaint than an attempt to prompt some kind of commentary from Xar on the subject.)

Unless he's got a million with minds and the majority on top of that are mindless.......

Which is exactly the case... you didn't think all the dead of Eiran's history amounted to little more than one million corpses, did you? A good, if conservative estimate would be that anything between 5 and 10 times that number are mindless undead, though of course there could be even more. Additionally, there are roughly another million undead who have a mind, and were torn from the afterlife with no choice of their own, but who have not chosen to worship Argothoth (might have turned to other gods, or might simply be too much in pain and too confused to make a choice yet).

EDIT: Also, the undead are STILL rising from the ground... the oldest dead who were awakened by Argothoth's necromancy are only now reaching the surface of Eiran. Although most of these will be mindless, expect Argothoth's number of followers to grow more this turn.

MUUUUUUUUAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA

what a wonderful vision...

The Game Thread also reminds me that The Fallen will be retired this turn, as his player has realized he doesn't have time to play.

AllFather, just to forewarn us...

Will this hinder the speed in which the Turn is processed?

::suspicion growing:::

Cousin, you seem to rejoice in Brother Moxinomal's ascendence, more so than others. Have you taken on a vassal? Declare it if you have!

Weaknesses:
Sunlight can easily destroy an illusion wraith. Spells that duplicate the effects of direct sunlight can destroy a wraith as well. Positive energy is also a weakness of the illusion wraiths.

O-GON-CHO can you turn up the sunshine on Thellarr pleeeeaaaasssseeeee.......

ehi, undine, are you fearing my shadows?
They are not so stupid to be in open spaces. They are etheral and then can travel in the ground...

Gladly, if found to be needed.

Ah...like Astavyastataa Kadna, you both rush to conclusions. None of these beasts described have proved to be viable on Eiran yet. We will not know of their fate until the AllFather tallies the votes.

I'm in the middle of writing up my moves now. If I promised anyone anything, before I deleted my PMs, and we haven't spoken about it since, it might be a good idea to contact me again before the deadline in case I've forgotten; I'll wait until then before sending the moves.

Me? Vassal? I believe he just enjoys seeing new dieties gain power as quickly as he did

just curious but...does anyone beSIDES pantheon players post on the weekends????

um, no, by the looks of things.....

The Watch is always slow on the weekends. But we can always count on danlo and Cail to be around, unless they post otherwise.

Just wrapped up a mini-Pantheon chat in the Chatbane!!

oh come on we talked about some other things!

*snort*

We need to have a micro-Watch chip implanted into Xar's head. I cannot abide delays.

AllFather, I know I'm not imagining it. I see you on the Watch, even though you told us we wouldn't.

Any cryptic hints yet?

:::cringing:::

Back... I'll start work on the turn

Remember that you have only two days left for the contest!
