The Amber Age: Pantheon Edition (Collaborative)

To be honest, I like crocs way more than turtles, and in general carnivores over herbivores (omnivores are at the top though).
The only good turtle is a snapping turtle! (Snappy FTW) (or is it a tortoise? And isn't it at least partly omnivorous? Not all turtles are herbivores after all)

Aspect of the Turtle + Aspect of the Crocodile?

That could be an interesting merger.
 
True, but we'll have to wait and see what the best options for us are.

Though I'm not going to lie, if we do end up as the death god, I hope we get to pick a reincarnation afterlife because I have some ideas I would like implement.

Let's just say it involves a big stone wheel and a very large set of doors.
I'm pretty sure lava helps plants grow as it becomes something like super soil iirc, so Life shouldn't be too much of a stretch.
 
How should we convince people to perform human sacrifice?

Inquiring minds wish to know.
Something something throw it into the fire.

But I'm fine with us not taking that route. Why bother speeding things up, the mountain has infinite time to wait for the dead to die and come to it. Where we can great the dead and usher them into the afterlife.
 
Wow. I leave for a little while and....

SV never fails to surprise.

EDIT: Mountain is 18, Reptile is 16.

I can't say I dislike the idea of being a volcano god, but I HATE the idea of being a death god. You all know that by now, of course, I've said it plenty of times. Can any of you volcano people be tempted to the side of the turtle? We'll still be a volcano turtle.
 
Which mountain? Fire on the Mountain or Death Mountain?

Death.

You do realize you asked the thread why they were interested in the death vote, but when people (including myself) tried to explain, it seems like you dismissed it.

Did you not really care or what?
 
So just to be clear, this means that if you anywhere except the center of that track, there is a canonical "correct" way of behaving, regardless of your goals.

If you are a spirit at Fear X, then you want to do terrifying actions only, and avoid generous actions. Fear X+1 is strictly better than Fear X or Fear X-1, because you can get from the former to the later for free and generate DE in the process. And of course, the opposite is true for Faith X.

So I guess every spirit has a mechanical incentive to "act its nature", or if it isn't willing to do that, to "cash in" and either stay at Awe or start moving in the opposite direction.




As for the next part, I must say that I find it somewhat backwards that Awe generates Legend while Fear/Faith generates DE. I would have expected the more intense and roleplay-prone Fear/Faith extremes to be better fits for generating and spending Legend.
Awe generates legend. Fear and Faith are better at spending it. It's barely even noticeable when compared to the spend rate of the focuses.

Also locking.

I cared, I just didn't find any of your reasons particularly compelling. Admittedly, though, some of my motivation was to see if it seemed like anyone could be easily swayed.
