242 DE spent, 4 ambrosia spent one ambrosia dedicated.
Totals add up.
I'll be stealing the Total Cost tagging in line next time though. Should help reduce risks of math errors.

@Abby Normal we don't know how much the Divine Realm will cost in terms of DE, I think considering the event of the last turn that you should condition a part of your spent DE in case the Divine Realm will cost more then it appears to do
Maybe with something like, if the Divine Realm costs more then 20 DE use however many DE reserved for these actions instead,
Least the Divine realm will screw us over and actually eat up something really important

I confirmed with @Powerofmind a couple turns back that hte "+" meant we could use more, on purpose, not that it would randomly use more. If he uncomfirms that i'll remove it in favor of blessing more.

More progress/better realm; iirc @Powerofmind confirmed that doing, say:
*20 DE, 2 Ambrosia first turn, 30 DE, 3 Ambrosia second turn*
Is just as good as doing, say:
*50 DE, 5 ambrosia first turn*
It is not a protest vote on my part. It is a try to play as Gaerig. Is it bad from a mechanics perspective? Yes it is. I didn't think it would gain this much traction, but it is the way I would play Gaerig.
Plan changed to include the Ambrosia for Kesh.
@Abby Normal if the amount of DE used on the Divine Realm is really set by us, than using the minimum seems like weird investment. I mean it is supposed to be something new, something interesting, something that nobody have seen around these parts, so only putting in the minimum feels kind of like a "meh" decision.
Edit: ninja-ed, if that's the case, than it is not a problem mechanically

I put in the minimum because blessings and inspires have pretty bad DE return, especially as a guarantee, and we only get 1.2 DE/VE right now, so we have pretty shitty options to get DE back, and I want us to at least hit cap next turn, so i can't spend much on anything that doesn't give a return. Hence why you should at least toss in the rest of your DE into blessings; blessings for sacrifice for astrology might only get 1.4x return unless we get real lucky*, but its better than having half our DE left next turn and still having shitty VE return between low pop mod and the demand appeasement...
*Ignoring the extra DE from doubles that i didn't list on mine either

...You do understand what sulking means right?
@Ian Drash what do think of my suggestion of drawing fish away for appeasement? It seems the petty thing to do while sulking. Like taking away one's ball from the soccer match.

I do, i just also want to not be hamstrung next turn...You do understand what sulking means right?

Hell if you want to roleplay it, @Ian Drash , maybe have it all be blessings for Singing or the like--Gaerig is sad and wants to hear pretty noises!On the other hand it would also make sense that having repeatedly accidentally blown up everything multiple times over, only makes for a higher risk of blowing up further, especially given that Gaerig will need every bit of energy to reform, and her population can't take much more of this.

You're in the clear.
Yes. Only the abnormal growth rates. There is a small growth rate that comes up automatically, better the lower VE is.

@Sivantic vote for me, so you have resources and pop mod to play with next turn with your plan <3
@Pandemonious Ivy surely the friendship of Ferrimore and Numen can extend into this game as well?*
I don't have a tailored plea for anyone else but they should vote for me too, obviously
*Incidentally, you all should join Academia Nut's Where the Monsters Aren't quest, especially @veekie since he posts enough to revitalize that thread on his own

Gaerig sulks would be much better if they had kept the yellow moon like we promised our pantheon we'd do.
Edit: ok, apparently wrong. Still would prefer to keep it both for practical and I think it'd make a better read if Gaerig is actively trying and is confused why it isn't enough.

Vote Plan Hopefully stop breaking things for the better position to continue improving our divine realm in the futureVote Plan Gaerig Sulks for the better Divine Realm!
Vote for some relaxing time away from numbers!
Vote because I asked nicely?
Looks like Seski isn't going anywhere!
I wonder what would be her starting shrine. Living out of our shrine until she gains her own shrine rating? Or will the ascension location redesignate after a while to her house?
Sea Pixies piccked up a bunch of bonuses from Humanity and Yellow Moon.
I wonder what the Yellow Moon does to them when it's up now.
Attrouska has her Magics back on now that Shrew is gone.
Survival Inspirations confirmed to generate Growth at least, under the Yellow Moon.
About the only part that went as planned
Aww shit, the Darken became destructive.
On the other hand destructive Darken sounds quite powerful to use on enemies. So while Positive Darken only works on ourself and our Inspired, Destructive Darkens buff the wild animals, increasing attrition.
Ahaha...I suppose if this succeeded we'd have realized things going wrong in time to stop it.
Hard Crystal has an affinity for music huh? Guessed as much from the spear, but interesting.
Once we equip this, we'd have a Sing skill of 6. Makes it much easier to raise.
Also looks like the Singing Spear might react explosively if we stab a spirit or god with it. Gaerig: Everything goes boom!
Ooo, nice. The first big painting!
So looks like we can use Artwork to guide fearbuys a bit?
Makes sense.
Though on the other hand trait slots are packed, so we need to consider whether we want more Water traits, since EAs are slot intensive and I'm still hoping for Eclipse and Sun.
Looks like Saiga has some new options for dealing with the rogue baby than killing it.
Somewhat curious what he bought from sleep. Not a trait I think.
And Gem crafts are used for Shrine upgrades. This should make a fine progress booster for our Temple.
Ghette is now set up for Mysticism. Spookybaby. Should be good for propagating increased Mysticism in the population once he grows up.
Capricious with Omen Reading and Astrology is good. He'd be taking strange enigmatic actions based on what he sees in the stars.
Gaelte realized he was 1 vote away from being a Sea Pixie.
*Gaelte has joined the Monster Faction*
Warning Saiga turned out well, I don't think he'd have done well if he got surprised, nor would he have spared her.
Also our daughter broke his spear. He's going to need a new one.
Gaerig's Melee rolls continue to be insane.
A reminder never to use Personally Incite to punish for Appeasement. We can do some serious damage just carving through everyone, even when we roll a 4.
It's very efficient for causing VE damage though.
15% Shrine
15% Influence
10% Fear
40% Attributes
Will become 20% Shrine, 20% Influence next turn.
Wonder if Fear at cap does anything.
9% Base skills
6% Excellencies/Masteries
15% Skills
Thus confirming that Excellencies are rolled as skills. We'd learn whether skills appear at the same frequency when dispersed.
5% Spirit of the Stars
10% EA - Cold
10% EA - Sea
3% Lesser Bless
3% Aspect of Humanity
3% Aspect of the Octopus
5% Divine Mystery
5% Inscrutable One
I assume there's a math error somewhere on the table, because if we roll 90, there's nothing on it.
Still:
25% Nox traits
20% other traits.
With the last Glut we've finally flushed the buffer of most of the Nox traits and can start to focus on traits again.
With this turn being so blessing heavy we might well pick up Lesser Bless passively, in which case we might as well spring for the Travelers' Altars.
I can also see Spirit of Fertility showing up if we blessed growth enough.
@Powerofmind
Outdated affinities here!
Outdated shrine count here. We have 6 with Attrouska's hill. Not that it matters at the moment.
Probably should do the collusion once we're further out of the Growth hole.
Demanding it would make for sour minions.
Geez, I wonder who stole it.
...welp, no better time to find her it seems.
Teenager.txt
Sure kiddo.
I await her kids with Mischief.
Mwahaha.
Theres an open tab for it, but hadn't been able to get into it yet. Work :/

Besides, we don't have anything pressing. The pantheons have kept to themselves, Saiga has our Ur-spawn under control, and more importantly our Sea Pixies have Humanity aspect.
Let's just go to our castle in the sky and chill~
[X] Plan Hopefully stop breaking things
At least for the near future. Rather, stop breaking our things and break the things of other pantheons.
Or, you know, steal their stuff. That works too.
