I'm quite looking forward to next Summer, personally. That's when all the plans come to fruition.

Summer fruits are sweet

Sure can be the pits

Is that an Earthworm?
Surely your own residents
Are not distasteful?

Ashes to ashes;
Dust to dust, as it should be.
All returns to me.

But it still tastes bad if you try to eat it.

And it's probably really a maggot anyway. I can't imagine an earthworm getting into an apple.

clarification:

what happens when a worshipper and/or prophet dies?
Is ressurection only possible for those with death/undeath domains?

Domains such as Birth
May be able to do that
Good luck there, balon!

Balon, I would imagine that some options could exist:

If you were Agape, you could take your love of the prophet and use it to drop the soul into a baby born of love.

If you were Uruk, you could have an animal acquire the soul of the prophet, as a sort of reincarnation.

If you were Velt, you could have a tree acquire the soul of the prophet.

If you were Erd, you could infuse the dead prophet with stone and animate it to life.

If you were Serloth Lorekeeper, you could take all that the prophet knew and put that knowledge into the body of another person.

If you were Jove, you could pay someone to pretend to be the prophet. (It's late... I got no quit ideas for how Jove would do it.)

The lack of a god of Death means that... it should be easier for us to start doing things with the souls of our followers.

mmm.. yeah I was wondering whether or not Nergal had set up any sort of rules regarding afterlife of reincarnation, or burning lakes of fire. heh.

But with his removal, does anything he set up stay in place?

Based on what happens when one attempts to enter it, I don't know how much interest there may be in it, Murrin...

Me too.

But not if my prophet will die merely by attempting to enter...
...if I read things aright.

I'm struggling with the part where you think you have to send your prophet inside to get anything out of being in control of it (if it still exists).

Has anyone else noticed that Murrin is actually more chatty now that he's no longer playing? Not that I'm trying to draw any conclusions from that, I just find it interesting.

I'm just saying, Menolly - it's a direct portal to the underworld. Why do you think you have to send your prophet to the underworld just because you control the door?

Do you think Inana ever went inside that doorway? Hers was a one-time deal, she wouldn't have come back if she tried again.


Goatkiller - I'm usually pretty enthusiastic about the things I've done in game, but unwilling to share them when people are able to interfere. :P

*nodding vigorously*

Murrin's posts in the Best of Pantheon 2.0 thread is fascinating reading. While I haven't mimicked him exactly, I learned a lot about ways these games work from them.

Well no, probably not.

But then, I still have no idea what Inana and/or The Judge could control by having control of the door...if they had that.

Nergal still remains a mystery to me, even though I tried to learn things about him by meeting his people...

...not that the Hunter helped that at all by murdering Inana while we were in Nergal's lands, oy...

Heh. That right there is one of the reasons I have allies. So I can brag to someone. I just don't have the self-control not to let stuff spill... so I make sure there's a safe person to whom I can spill.
