Aesir: Rules & Comments

Oops. Sorry, I forgot to answer.
Regarding resurrection, no. None of you have any domains that would allow such a thing.
Regarding anything Nergal set up staying in place now that he's gone, you'll have to find out for yourselves.

Sorry, but things were much busier the last few days than I thought they'd be. Usually the case, eh? I hope - the key word being hope - this evening and tomorrow evening will be as free as I had hoped the last few days would be. I don't know why they wouldn't be, but I'm always surprised when they aren't. I'll let you know tomorrow night where things stand.

Anybody know any dealers in Aesir, so we can get Odin hooked up with some "inspiration" more often? I expect that Odin isn't naturally as creative as Xar, but it seems that if we could get him a baggy of inspiration now and then, combined with his native obsession with all things game... Aesir could move up to being a top-notch game.Fist and Faith wrote:Sweet!
Odin's pretty familiar with those trying days.
So the Warrior Priest story might be a bit long and dull. But inspiration, such as it is, hit me. And, since that happens so seldom...
Yo, dawgs! I started! Got a couple done this evening. I'm sure I'll do another one or two tomorrow. So we're looking good.
I guess a CH would be that all of you power-hungry folks are generally gonna be disappointed. Hehe.

Hello, baby, hello...
Hey, you don't have to be mean to be power-hungry, eh? All who think Aesir is all about gaining more and more power will likely be disappointed. Hehe.

*sigh* I'm really sorry. I know I promised by tonight, but I'm still not done. It's especially aggravating because of the fact that it's not even a difficult turn!! It just takes a few hours of uninterrupted musing for me to get a good chunk out. And, unfortunately, my honey-do list has been a little bigger than usual lately. So forgive me, and hang in there. Tomorrow is almost entirely out, but Friday evening might be good, and the weekend is relatively open. Which means my kids are with their mother this weekend. Doesn't mean I won't have extra assignments, and we'll be going to another swimming hole, but I don't know how I could possibly NOT finish this weekend.

You did?Odin wrote:*sigh* I'm really sorry. I know I promised by tonight, but I'm still not done.
*scrolls up*
I see nothing of the sort.
And now it's your turn.
You are entitled to RL interfering.
We will still be here waiting until you can get it finished.
No pressure...

Results are out. As always, let me know of glaring problems. Heh.
I'm running into a problem. I have no idea what to do about it. Some of you have been doing serious things for a long time. Building and building. I set it up so growth would be slow, simply because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle turns where 3, 4, 5, 6 deities have 5, 6, 7, 8 DRPs each. But some things are getting to that point anyway. In many cases, my results could easily be nothing more than "Yeah, you got what you wanted".
What I'm saying is, I don't know how to handle the game. Have I mentioned I'm not a GM? So I need you folks to talk about how stuff might go. I don't even know what I mean, or what could help me do this, but I need some sort of input.

-No less than four deities tried to convert the former followers of Lliannon Aine. All failed. As they all learned, those followers are going to be extremely difficult to convert. Agapé told all of her actions regarding them some seasons past. The result of that is that Lliannon's people have a permanent Love for her that might be described as permanent pathways in their minds. They worship her still, even though they know she is gone. No power results from this, but they are not concerned with such things.
That is awesome.

Yeah, it would be if Ari'Cree hadn't been such a freakin' c***tease. Like hitting on a guy for two nights and then saying she has a boyfriend when he makes a move.

"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.”

BTW, how old is Ari now?? Last turn of Mom's she was a child.
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I didn't know she was a kid (I swear, officer). My forest has a strict 'no unaccompanied minors' policy. And while Odin did say she was a 'young, blind girl' I didn't think he meant 'a child.' Considering she just showed up in Ganan's room while he was sleeping...
Besides, I just said it was like that. I didn't put those words into the character's mouth.
