Pantheon 2.0 - Game Thread

[Astavyastataa Kadna]

I certainly do NOT recognize your Laws impudent one!!

The AllFather has not seen fit to intervene with the World Breaker, what makes you think he will intervene now!!

I am sure my vassal and ally will laugh at your pronouncements!!

But as to your pronouncements:

refute
Argothoth had prior claim on the Domain of Death - he is in his right to seek to reclaim it!

refute
The Song attacked CHAOS and DESTRUCTION itself!! While those domains are usurped, I am still the OMEGA!! Therefore the Song was an uprovoked attack on ME!!! My Vassal had every right to defend his liege from such an unprovoked attack!!

[I'm Murrin]

But was he right to cause the deaths of 186,000 mortals in his attempt to claim that domain? I think not.

[O-gon-cho]

refute
The Song attacked CHAOS and DESTRUCTION itself!! While those domains are usurped, I am still the OMEGA!! Therefore the Song was an uprovoked attack on ME!!!

While it was not my intent to attack you, Astavyastataa Kadna, but to undermine Nephirthos, I can see that argument. I wish you had made mention of that to me when I requested your blessing upon it instead of misleading me with your reply.

My Vassal had every right to defend his liege from such an unprovoked attack!!

Thank you for admitting such, cousin.

*bowed head*

[Hedra Iren]

Argothoth's prior claim is not recognized. You can read the Allfather's rules, given to us all, to see that for yourself. And if he truly believed his claim was righteous, he could have presented it before me and the rest of the pantheon. He did not, for obvious reasons, and instead chose to act the bully and take it by force.

Your very existence is an unprovoked attack against knowledge, much less law. It does not give me the right to kill innocent mortals. Even if such a charge were to be leveled against O-gon-cho, her actions show no malice aforethought. Your vassal's actions, however, express it in spades. Furthermore, neither you nor your vassal expressed any such belief before the event.

Refutations denied.

..(And if your side truly has to rely on you and your particular brand of logic to make their case, they're doomed)

ahhhh, pitful godling - - I think my side is pleased with the results engineered to-date

But to a prior comment I've made about you, I will NOT rip your tongue out of your head. I find your shrill nonsense and noise amusing! Almost (but not quite), you can rival Mox as a jester!

[Benito Alvarez]

Argothoth, I hoped it would not come to this, but I give you one chance to halt your attack against Maeror and myself.

I am now in possession of the Necromonicon, and I am sure that Norn could supply a magician to use it to return your army to where it belongs.

Turn around before I have to do something terrible to your people.


As for your ally, it is in your best interest Asta to convince him to turn aside. Once his force is gone, you will be a simple matter to deal with.

Judgement:
Moxinomal. Your interference with the Song lead to the deaths of millions. As it stands, in the eyes of the Law, you are guilty of intentional manslaughter and genocide. May Eiran and the Allfather deliver justice.

Thank you, Mistress. Mox's interference with the Song led to the irreversible madness of my prophet that I sought to succor from Nephritos' grasp and as a result, he is wreaking havoc on my followers. Had the madness not been present, Dionache would have been restored to me.


I am going to make a very bold step. I see that Hedra Iren is made of the same courage and wisdom as that of her late husband and my dear freind, Simjen.

It had been my intention to nominate Simjen as king of the Pantheon had he succeeded against Nephritos. Simjen's virtue, strength, creativity, wisdom, and courage are that of a truly great god.

I see these same qualities in you, Hedra, and I would be most glad to have you as our queen.

I would like to put it to the Pantheon: I elect to name Hedra Iren as Queen Regent of the Pantheon, if she will accept.

[Benito Alvarez]

I elect to name Hedra Iren as Queen Regent of the Pantheon, if she will accept.

That IS a bold step, Sister. Thought not necessarily a wrong one. I will need time to ponder such a proposal before I could support it, for such a decision is not to be made lightly.

[Astavyastataa Kadna]

Pah!! Who are you WENCH to crown anyone queen!!? One would think that the CRISIS OF FAITH affecting your followers would command your complete attention!!

[O-gon-cho]

I elect to name Hedra Iren as Queen Regent of the Pantheon, if she will accept.

That IS a bold step, Sister. Thought not necessarily a wrong one. I will need time to ponder such a proposal before I could support it, for such a decision is not to be made lightly.

I am with Adormorn as of now sister, although my reasons are because I do not understand what benefits there would be for nominating any of us as sovereign over the Pantheon. I agree it is not necessarily a wrong step, I just do not currently understand the need of it.

So please, break it down for me. Anyone may do so. What purpose is there in naming a sovereign over the Pantheon?

[I'm Murrin]

I will acknowledge no sovereign. No individual has the right to rule over others.

It is indeed a bold step. However, who here - myself included - has shown as much courage, virtue, wisdom, and strength as Hedra? She was only bested by Simjen who is no more. Since we are having trouble acting against the evil that confronts Eiran as a team, perhaps it is necessary to have a leader of the Pantheon to join us to fight for the survival of Eiran. I ask, who else would be fair?

Just wait, Asta. Your time will come. Even the great Simjen had a crisis of faith. I'd say I'm in excellent company. You are yet young to the Pantheon and your words attest to your studpidity. But here - I give you something to laugh at. Enjoy it because it will likely be your last.




I CURSE YOU, ASTAVYASTATAA KADNA!!

Just as you smugly blather about everyone else's weakness, so you shall know weakness...

Just as you threaten all with destruction, so shall you be destroyed...

Just as you are victorious over others, so shall you be conquered...



You will fall in the end, Asta. Do not for a moment doubt it.

[Moxinomal]

I will acknowledge no sovereign. No individual has the right to rule over others.

Hah! For once, I agree with what he.. uhh, she.. IT has to say!

Judgement:
Moxinomal. Your interference with the Song lead to the deaths of millions. As it stands, in the eyes of the Law, you are guilty of intentional manslaughter and genocide. May Eiran and the Allfather deliver justice.

Ya know, doll, I am flattered that you have a sudden interest in me. Here I thought that the widow of a fallen Flamer would choose to morn instead of taking a fancy in the ways of Madness. All this fancy talk should be had over a nice dinner. What'ya say?

Moxinomal!!

My Turn does not point directly to you, but it hints that perhaps you interferred. Other than for strength, I know not why you would have interferred. You had proven trust in your oversight of my lands in previous Turns, and again as with others I learn that trust perhaps was misplaced. Does not Nephirthos concern you at all?

Raucous, my beloved. Twice now you have been touched by the G-d of Madness. I will do what I can to return you to me.

Seeing as how I am already concieved as guilty in the eyes of the Pantheon and Asta already said as to why I did it, Let me answer your last question. No, he does not concern me! Nephidross is not a pressing matter to me except for the fact that he has the domain of Chaos. I can't let you hinder somethin' that goes hand in hand with moi!

Hey! Maybe now Raucous will want to be joinin' up with me! It'd be interesting to have a pink dragon spreading the teachings of Madness!

[Mithyaat Vam]

I see these same qualities in you, Hedra, and I would be most glad to have you as our queen.

I would like to put it to the Pantheon: I elect to name Hedra Iren as Queen Regent of the Pantheon, if she will accept.

jove! do you rave?

I will acknowledge no sovereign. No individual has the right to rule over others.

nor will i.

I am impressed WENCH!! and agree with you comparing yourself to Simjen ... I look for YOU to fall as HARD!!

[O-gon-cho]

Do you then admit instructing and/or encouraging your vassal to interfere with the intent of the Song? I would know where this interferance came from, if possible.

I admit NOTHING weak, insignificant godling!!

refute
The Song attacked CHAOS and DESTRUCTION itself!! While those domains are usurped, I am still the OMEGA!! Therefore the Song was an uprovoked attack on ME!!! My Vassal had every right to defend his liege from such an unprovoked attack!!

He really isn't all that difficult to manipulate when one puts their mind to it, now is he. Other than strength, who really is the liege-l-rd in y'all's relationship?

Let me answer your last question. No, he does not concern me! Nephidross is not a pressing matter to me except for the fact that he has the domain of Chaos. I can't let you hinder somethin' that goes hand in hand with moi!

You are a fool. Even more so than you portray yourself to us as being.

Hey! Maybe now Raucous will want to be joinin' up with me! It'd be interesting to have a pink dragon spreading the teachings of Madness!

My beloved belongs to me and I to him. Your Madness upon him affects me through our Impression bond. I may lay the blame of some responses I may have in the following Turns on your head, instead of my own.

Moxinomal, I declare myself against none of the Pantheon. My attention turns back to my followers where it belongs. But as neighbor I give you fair warning, leave my lands and followers in peace. I have trusted you to my regret.

[Mistress Cathy]

I am impressed WENCH!! and agree with you comparing yourself to Simjen ... I look for YOU to fall as HARD!!

I have fallen. Fallen very hard indeed. Nothing can be done to me that has not already been done. I can be hurt no more.

Nor do I have the energy to banter with you, my arch nemisis.

My curse on you was my last vestige of energy.

I hope you choke on it.

"last vestige of energy" indeed !!! *inhales deeply* I feel your SUFFERING!! It strengthens me!!

Beg for release and I will DESTROY you quickly and soon. If not, I will DESTROY you LAST! So that your Suffering and Whining eclipses even that of your husband!

Sister, I believe with even such a one as Hedra as sovereign, if she would deign to be named such, that unifying the Pantheon to a single purpose is practically impossible to achieve. At least until all our brethren's desires are sated first, if that ever happens.

I will not make a decision on this in haste. But this reason does not convince me such is needed.

[Mistress Cathy]

As I said, Asta, enjoy it for it will be your last.

You cannot destroy what has already been destroyed. You see, you have no victory over me. You cannot claim what is not yours.

The victory belongs to Nephritos - that strong god that killed Simjen and wrested your domains so easily from you.

Now, I do not even think that Nephritos survived. Even he was not strong enough to survive.

Now, I seek to unite the Pantheon as O-gon-cho did by nominating a leader and like her, I have failed for none wish to be united.

Ah, All-Fatherer! How right you are! We are less than we think.
