You talk about removing ourselves from this earth?

Then why do you want to make us reliant upon a goddess bound to it!

Your hypocrisy is foolish. It is Crow who drives innovation, it is Crow who will lead us from this earth into enlightenment, not a goddess bound to the earth, who draws her strength from others.

Being bound to her will make us slaves, make us forced to till the earth and only till the earth, to focus upon the ground, when we could fly amongst the sky.

Where no shadows exist.

If you stay stuck doing the harvest, then the Crows flying above the air will always cast their shadow down on you.

[X] [Temple] Fythhagyna

We used to be the farmer civ, let's stick with our roots, yeah? Also, there's a drought going on currently, let's see if we can't persuade the dice to be kind by dedicating our new Grand Temple to the fertility goddess?
 
Are we really getting a harvest goddess in a place ill-suited for her.

Please aim for the long term benefits rather than the mid-term drought.
 
We're choosing which god to enshrine in our Grand Temple which is a centralization of our Mysticism production, so..

The Grand Temple is going to primarily be used by our shamans and priests. Putting the farmer God as the primary God there doesn't make sense IMO, especially when there's a god of teaching available.
Especially when we're planning on putting the Library there as well. This is a route to making true centers of learning.

Isn't there a decent chance the drought will be over naturally by the time the temple is finished?

Or have I become temporally confused again?

Crow was our first god, surely sticking to our roots would be sticking with our first god?

THE CROW WILL PECK OUT THE EYES OF ALL NAYSAYERS AND FEAST UPON THEIR SOOOOOOOOUUUUUUULLLLLLSSSS...
or at least he would if he were real, but he isn't. It's a silly internet game. Remember everyone, salt is reserved for our Salterns. Let's try not to get too crazy in this last hour :p

You were role playing as well there with your green text, also you threw out a couple insults as well. So really I didn't think there was a problem.

Indeed, but my character haven't been insulting crow likely notuon of farm goddess enslaveing our population.

But hey, it was fun letting the inner crusader play right?

So it's certainly not how I'm acting

The vast majority of the importance in this vote is opinion based, the different deities strengths are simple and easy to define.
  • Crow: A temple to a nebulous deity and concept that we can understand if we work hard, based on the other completely uncontested vote
  • Fythhagyna: A temple to the patron of harvest and farming
  • Mathulmyn: A temple to the adviser of kings
  • Gwy and Gyo: A temple to the first of the Gods
And yet you say things like how Mathulmyn will completely take over the pantheon and cause... divine right? I think that would be the 'worst' possibility, otherwise people are claiming he'll take over when we have basically been told the next vote will be for how we portray the deity and choose the aesthetics of our temple most likely. People have been constantly arguing about the least important things for our civilization, often coming down to personal preference, telling others how the deities they support don't do the right things.

People are acting like it's a debate of objective pluses and minuses when 45% of it is opinion based and 45% of it is based on trying to downplay the values of other people's votes, with some 10% of it being people explaining their preference and why.

I'm just tired of people acting like there are objectively right answers here. I'd much prefer it if people talked about something like, where would be the strongest place for each deity? So we could try and figure out where to put each of said deities to get something fun and/or interesting. Only a handful of people have even attempted to do that, though.

You were saying Crow would have left us 'stuck in his shadow' and that the goddess would have made us 'equal to the spirits' which made no sense, Crow being the reason for us gaining Love of Wisdom, our advanced research trait in universe, which would have helped our civ advance and be equal with the spirits so to speak.

So really when you stopped making sense I stopped making as much sense, instead implying that a goddess who needs people to till her fields would be more reluctant to allow a civ to advance and leave her behind

Well, I guess it is fairly real to life.
