Would anyone be willing to give 1 more vote for Apate Reborn? It only needs 1 more vote to pass.

Sure, half of my trickster goddess got killed, I can support yours returning, there should always be at least 1 in the universe.
[X] Sticks and Stones
The Stick-Men since their creation have been stagnant. Their anti-social tendencies and the comfort of the cradle have left them completely unable and unwilling to growth, their natural tendency to form communities in emergencies hampered by the lack of danger. An intervention is needed. In the Stick-Men's cradle the land-spirits are empowered and contracted to do one thing- cause strife. Violent Cyclones terrorize the surface, rumbling earthquakes churn the underground homes of the Stick-Men, and the flora and fauna are turned hostile and warped.
The Land-Spirits are ordered to funnel great amounts of underground Stick-Men into different areas (with somewhat minimized casualties and extra fruit and animals within that area for ease of living), to be forced to interact and form a community, and the same is true for the Stick-Men above-ground. Lesser Clan-Spirits are to be used as messengers towards the Stick-Men to tell them that the Spirits are displeased by their inaction and that they desire a greater spirit to rule them. That until a large enough community is formed to create a country spirit these natural disasters won't stop and the Lesser Clan-Spirits are ordered to give help in forming a community and selecting suitable leaders who are adept at leading and cooperation with the Land-Spirits.
Supporting Acts:
[X] Narrative
[X] The reincarnation of a young god
[X] Apate Reborn
[X] Create the Spire Reefs
I decided to use Land-Spirits to fuel the Stick-Men's growth since their entire gimmick was kind of being some magical benefits to forming a community. Also they're kind of under-utilized after being passed in the second-era and being sort of forgotten on the macro-scale. It should at least hopefully form an interesting society where Stick-Men contract spirits heavily (and resent them).

You want to do some trading?
Sorry I don't really believe in vote-trading as a concept.
And honestly I think Guardian's Growth while it won't backfire this turn could end up backfiring an insane amount later. The Guardian honestly might be the most powerful being besides the Makers and empowering them even more could make them almost unbeatable by anything within the universe. I want them to stay passive and waiting at the sun without any movement besides honing it's sword. Giving them incentives towards being more proactive through hunting things like Heart-Imps is a slippery slope in my opinion.
Also my act is very late within Vote-window. Let me know if there are any edits that players want that could convince people to vote for it and can I convince anyone to vote for it?

Just a Rapariga
I think you mean the Concepts? The Makers aren't that powerful even if you count AEGIS.
Also, agree that the Guardian will definitively become a problem as soon as someone makes an Act involving the Sun. But until them they have been just a sweet little guard dog that totally deserves a treat.
Oh I meant the Makers as in the players. For some reason I got confused and thought we had that label for some reason. Honestly I don't think the concepts could beat the guardian. They're both cosmic but the Guardian's been preparing for trillions of years.

Only thing that has a chance against the Guardian right now are the Triumverate of Law working together against the Guardian. As per word of Game Master this phase.

Fun bit about my plans early on concerning the Guardian:
In the initial eras if Augustus was not interrupted in his crafting of life he would have created a somewhat mundane ecosystem, Earth-like, except for the fact that all the animals would inherit the Guardian's constant adaptive ability so it would have been an ever evolving death world.
The first life forms was slated to essentially be Human equivalents, but interactions between soul and flesh meant that they did not mutate, its just that they did not have any physical limits in their development, especially in terms of physical ability so they would develop.
And each one would act as a sensory for the Guardian, who would be able to see through all of their senses due to the link it still holds to all the flesh it gives out.

This would have been much better than what actually happened, I feel. Given the clusterfuck that came of the flesh instead.

Oh, that would have been cool…
Would have given the Guardian a ton of different perspectives too as the era turned and more "G-Humans" developed and spread out.
Either way I'm still proud of Augustus, as either the crafter of life or just a fae celebrity he is still doing good in my book
Grand
Divine because I just realized that the sheer amount of Vorunids mean that they require an entire planet for their home. I thought it would be something on the size of much smaller size initially. A homeland and not a whole planet.
Weakening the Law of Secrets?
Well that is certainly one way to pick a fight.

I really did wonder about the Gaia Seed thing.
Because simulating hundreds of billions of years of evolution under the gaze of the Gardener and Winnower brought me back to the lore that inspired them, their flower game that always resulted in that perfect shape.
It was essentially that game in miniature and with Gardener and Winnower stalemating each other things end up taking a final shape anyway.

New idea for a better action for me to do.
[] Blessings
When a dying being's last moments are filled with contentment and earnest desire for others to continue on, a Blessing is created. An inversion of the mechanisms of curses, they retain all the same properties, being spiritual entities capable of fusing and ethereal in nature. But where curses are malicious things that tear down and destroy, blessings are benevolent and seek to protect those their creator had positive emotions towards. Like curses they deliberately seek each other out to gather and fuse to become stronger. When they come in contact with curses they annihilate and kick off a process similar to what happens in a Liveworld, releasing intense amounts of energy and color stripped mana.

I was dumb and thought there was a problem that had to be solved.
My brain is dumb about stuff.

I personally like this better than "Opening the Gates" just because I feel such an action is more impactful if more planets have peoples on them to suddenly be able to meet there at mass.

Yeah. I'm going to switch over I think, in the morning. Because I'm currently tired.

I can't remember what I was going to do this turn. I can't remember if I wanted a Corban act or Thespian wolf act.
Authored:
[X] Garb of the Grove Keeper
Let there be strange cloaks that when donned transforms one into yet another member of the Thespian Wolf race. They shall be garbed in earth and greenery, symbolizing their connection to nature and their surroundings. They possess a new class called Grove Keeper, and shall serve as examples from which Witches may create copies of their class. In time, they will become known as elusive creatures of the forests, guardians or monsters that dwell there, many known by titles such as the Green Wolf of Asda, the Leshen, the Stalking Shadow, and the Dancing Figures under the Floor Boards. They are not confined to forests as they may take charge of lakes, plains, and even deserts and tundras, depending on the thespian wolf.
The Grove Keeper class gives these thespian wolves unparalleled empathy with their territory. They are able to detect and ascertain the state and health of all life that dwell within them. The skills provided by this class allows them to manipulate their surroundings, transforming them into eerie, whimsical, or fantastical locales apt for their pack's plays. The following are a few of the skills made available by this class:
Create Herb: Creates a new plant of the user's design.
Greenshaping: Manipulate, bend, and shape the greenery around the user. Target may contest skill.
Earthshaping: Manipulate, bend, and shape the landscape around the user. Target may contest skill.
Skyshaping: Manipulate, bend, and shape the weather in the user's territory.
Fleshshaping: Manipulate, bend, and shape the flesh of a living beast. Requires contact. Target may contest skill. 30-second warm-up before taking effect.
Create Sylvan Vinegar: Infuse Brathi into water, transmuting part of it into Sylvan Vinegar.
Sylvan vinegar is a special substance that Grove Keepers can learn to create. Sylvan vinegar is pungent clear liquid that deactivates the monstroficating properties of experience salt. Creatures with proportional amounts of sylvan vinegar is unable to turn into true monsters. However, it is unable to prevent the necrotic properties of experience salt, and thus cannot stop someone from melting from eating too much experience salt. While it is able to stop monstrofication from progressing, it does not reverse the process. Its pungent smell is unpleasant to monsters, and many will be repulsed by its presence, allowing Grove Keepers to create havens that are relatively free of monsters.
Sylvan vinegar have some purifying properties. It is able to cleanse souls of necromantic taint and reverse the soul pickling induced by experience salt, though those requires months to years of soaking in concentrated sylvan vinegar. Sylvan vinegar also deactivates over time as the Brathi-based compounds decompose.
