Fledgling Deity Quest

Voting is open

Yeah, I don't think anyone thought that people would write do many omakes for this quest and dump those points into many different Domains.

Something like that was going to put a lot of work on ilbgar. :(

@ilbgar123, I think it would be best if the Omake points system was changed. Make it so that we can only put those points into Domains we already have and we can't put them into new ones.

I know that might annoy some people, but for your sake and for the sake of the quest, I think it would be for the best.

You could also make it so that each omake can invest in only so many domains. Perhaps if you invest in a new domain all points have to go to it? You could also make it so that using omakes to invest faith into new Domains has reduced efficiency, such as half points for domains we haven't had for a turn or voted for in the plan.

I hope the opposing deity doesn't get boosts similar to the extant of our omakes.

    Video Games and the digital world​
    When one of our digital friends get involved in game sessions, it seems that things go off the rails so to speak. The AI gets smarter, units, ESPECIALLY hero/special units will act on their own sometimes, and triggers sometimes become guidelines leading to games often turning out in unexpected ways, best shown in strategy and management games due to their nature. Starcraft 2 especially stands out, as Raynor, despite only supposing to show up in certain missions will show up in pretty much all of them, alongside the other campaign hero units depending on the mission, combined with some enemy units moving to better positions, and overall acting smarter, such as the mission two bunker of death getting reinforced by the starting tank in brutal, making the mission far tougher due to both of the nasty units, which also have synergy being at around the same place. Though there also seems to be some boons your group gets access to that normally isn't accessible, which might be drawing from something that hasn't been released yet, most notably is the medics being able to heal mechanical units and Swann getting himself the means to build laser drills after using one in the campaign.
    The Tropico series gets really 'interesting' as the advisors get active, and the others figure out ways to help or hinder the various groups, and while things are at least somewhat constrained by the mechanics like they all are, it still doesn't stop things from getting really 'INTERESTING' due to both the faction politics and the standard foreign interest in the island, which gets worse when doing campaign missions.
    The Majesty Series especially has been found to really be affected, as each unit in the game already operates exclusively on their own terms, and the general affect really stands out as a result, with the units showing some personality which can be helpful, but also can be a big problem and in general makes things quite a bit more complicated, especially since relationships can break down spectacularly.
    Though some games, like the Creeper world series doesn't really impact the AI much, which makes sense since the buildings, and the flood-like creep aren't exactly things that seem like they would be affected, and the Hitman Games aren't affected that much, besides having enemies smarter in combat and more wary, and grouping up more when bodies start being found to try and avoid being picked off, alongside the possibility of individuals going off script even though that isn't common.
    A general theme though seems to be that the game mechanics very much still apply, like bunch of rifles taking out a capital ship is still very possible as that is just how things work. Though, there are certainly unique challenges that could surface in the games, especially since mods likely wouldn't cause major problems, which can lead to some interesting possibilities. Though, I wonder if there may be some interesting side affects that may happen considering we are not exactly sure what is going on when these things are done.

    A/N: Done this as kind of thinking on how the digital denizens interacting games might affect things. Very much drawing from what we see from AVG Minecraft, and especially the WOG here of game mechanics and stuff staying relevant over stuff like lore. Though I had a bit where I decided to throw the possibility of pulling some bits from connected stuff, considering Raynor in the soon to be released CO-OP mode got medics that heal everything, and Swann gets himself a drill. Though whenever or not Raynor gets himself his tricked out bike from the original StarCraft is iffy, though is something he totally would get if he could, even as he argues over Swan over their usefulness( also why Raynor gets them in Co-op, despite them not really fitting a role, and Swann getting the hellion, that has a slow but sturdy combat mode). Tropico, well, the series embraced the crazy which I feel would probably allow them to somewhat stress-test what is possible in the system, with the campaigns giving more room to muck around, and/or more factions thanks to the mission events.
    As far as how to spend the points...
    I am unsure whenever I want to throw 50 into guns, 50 into spirits, 50 into insurgent or strategy, 50 into games. Or just throw them all into strategy, or split between guns and strategy, to lessen the load from my omake points...

    I imagine it's easier to come up with higher levels for a Domain than powers for a new Domain. Additionally, it's likely easier to make levels for Domains on the Known Domains sheet in the Informational section as they already have an idea how the Domain works. However, I'm not the author, this is simply what makes sense to me.

    At the moment, don't throw any points into anything at all until ilbgar reforms the Omake Points system, as the current system is dragging things down at the moment.

    Well, no. I should have said that "until ilbgar decides to reform the Omake Points system". The spotty internet is not helping in the slightest. It's just that all the omake points and new domains people have deposited have given the GM a lot of work to do, more than he should imo.

    I don't mean to come off as resentful of everyone who has put out some really nice stuff, it's just that we didn't expect so many omakes to be created y'know?

    @ilbgar123, the staves are supposed to facilitate communication with followers but what's that like? Can followers with staves talk to us like Miko, or is it more like email or even just empathic communication?
     
    Hm, yeah I think Domains should be limited from now on, though I'm willing to grandfather in that most recent Omake(speaking of which, don't you have like 6 Omakes you haven't specified Omake Faith use for @Themarineguy ?) with normal Faith being used for new ones, while Omake Faith is limited to unlocked Domains.

    On that note Learning 4 gets you both a flat +40 and +40%, meaning Learning provides +56 by itself, nevermind interactions with anything else.

    Meanwhile, Teaching's level 5 bonus allows Skills with close ties to be valid for Mentoring. Ie, Pistols used in place of Rifles and vice versa. Level 10 will allow for more distant Skills like Empathy and Perception to be used in place of each other while allowing the applicable Skills of the previous tier to be combined instead of substituted, and level 15 makes very distant Skills such as Speech and Magic available substitutes while doing the same for level 10's Skills and making the Mentor threshold calculate using the total of the three linked Skills of a group. For Speech, for example, Intimidation, Persuasion, and Diplomacy are used as a group. Meaning that someone with 50 in each could Mentor up to 175 in any of those Skills. Pretty much all sub-Domains of an Empowerment type qualify as level 5's related Domains, so as you can imagine this can quickly become bonkers when tutoring a Mage or Qi user with any significant investment into those Skills.

    High Priests can talk like Miko. Normal Followers have more of an email thing going on.

    Can we still bank Faith into the next turn's income?

    Vote's been closed for a while. That plan did win though.
     
    So, I should have Internet access today, which will make posting possible. I was thinking I'd post the Turn up to the end of the Plan purchases. Give you guys something to chew on while I worked.
