You mean we don't know if it's the case or not in the WTR continuity.
Because from I recall there hasn't actually been anything definitive said on it one way or another.

That's just about right. Aphrodite was born from either Ouranos' gentals thrown into the sea by Cronus, or from Zeus and Dione, and she was an olympian godess as well. Also, until the comparatively benevolent titan Prometheus gifted mankind with fire, neither the Olympians nor the Titans saw much use in them. The gods are not completely dependent on human worship, but it's likely to empower them. Probably why Abraham's god is both very strong, and doesn't need to play well with others, being the most popular choice by far. Categorically denying the existence of other deities, his followers are unlikely to ever contribute worship and tribute to 'rival' gods.

even if it wasn't meant to contain gods it was made by the olympians with the intent to hold thing at (or possibly above) there own weight class, and when your in the same weight class as a full pantheon of gods that means have some kind of magic. Diving beings (and other creatures on a similar power level) who are supposedly simply strong often do stuff like wrestle storms or other feats that imply a more than mundane aspect to there strength.
as for Sisypus, he tricked the guards and technically did so before he was fully in tartarus. That's also exactly one guy who's managed to escape the place and even he only did so by tricking the guards before he was put in his cell.

Sisyphus is not really the best example given that, after they finally dropped his ass into Tartarus, he stayed there and has been rolling a bolder up a hill ever since.
Besides which, he never escaped in the sense you're talking about. He avoided capture and conn'd Persephone into letting him out of the regular Underworld, but that's it.

So, do you think we can petition the mods to ban Queen of Fables' account? That would be one way she couldn't affect the story again.

I think that would probably be unnecessary. We might get lucky and she'll get trapped in a bad CYOA fic.

Did he actually make this decision? They came to him saying they had decided what do do with her.
Zoat has specifically said the gods have power independent of worship. What worship does is act as a conduit allowing them to use that power more effectively on Earth.
As does the poster. Somebody's sock that just got erased, perhaps.

The rules say you can't make alternate accounts without mod approval. Assuming he got it, he didn't break any of the rules.

Yeah, at this point you need to produce references or just stop talking.
During the Starro situation, Constantine had developed a ritual that would have depowered both Klarion AND Nabu in a 'Accidentally on purpose' way. The Manacles were in use at the time. So no, this is just you using bad logic.

I've always held the headcanon that the reason YHWH is so strong is because he doesn't play with others. Think about it; he's one guy with the combined might of an entire pantheon. This not only makes him individually stronger than individual polytheist gods, but it also means that YHWH's pantheon (that is, himself) isn't wasting energy fighting itself (Zeus-v-Poseidon, Ares-v-Athena, Hera-v-Zeus'sMistresses) leaving more power to be wielded against others.
I feel that this interpretation smooths up some theological plot-holes quite nicely.

Except for things like archangels and a lot of demons who wield deities powers in their own right. The fact the BotF can kill entities vastly more powerful then what it was made of, especially when said entities aren't even from the same realm is narratively abhorrent, so is the fact that universal entities are somehow on the same power level as planetary ones.

You can believe that all you want, but that doesn't mean it's true. Other people have presented facts, quotes and other evidence that proves that, in this case, your belief is wrong. Is the idea of "more worshippers=more divine power" a common one? Yes, I've used it myself in my own writing, but here, in this story, written by Mr. Zoat and none of us, it does not apply.

Can we please just be civil here? I'd really hate to see three instances of mod action in a 24 hour period.
We're all talking about a story on a web forum. There is no reason to get this upset at each other.

In fact there's a mod viewing the thread as I'm writting this post.
It doesn't matter what people argue about, as long as a disagreement occurs some people will find cause to insult one another and/or be rude.
The mod could just like the story, you know!

Sure, and Wolverine could just want to deposit a check, but that still doesn't mean it's a good idea to rob the bank when he's there.

I think Xon does. He's only commented once, and it wasn't any 'mod action' type stuff.
That's just silly. Wolverine gets paid in alcohol and tobacco products.Sure, and Wolverine could just want to deposit a check, but that still doesn't mean it's a good idea to rob the bank when he's there.
He's liked one of my posts in here.
Xon sempai noticed me!
