More deites that don't suck (Unlike the T man)

[Auran]

Say does anyone reckon we could maybe get a bunch of more deities to worship and stuff besides the ones we have (and which plainly suck)?(. I mean many portfolios are open yet. Can we have atleast two or three more gods? Or even some exalted heroes?  And for more fun elect them out of the PS community. I for one, nominate moogle for the representative of healing. And just don\'t slap up some sloppy outfit and make venge or acraig a god. And for the love of god not Paxx. This can be discussed in detail and maybe even voted upon? what say youz?

[Axsyrus]

What\'s with this \"we need more gods\" thing anyways..

I say scrap all the gods, gods are for weaklings who can\'t make their own decisions  :rolleyes:

Seriously though, what\'s wrong with Laanx and Talad. I think those 2 are more then enough.. and then there\'s always the ?ber-god vod?l, so that already makes 3.

[AendarCallenlasse]

Well I\'m a self-proclaimed god...so you can always worship me.

[seperot]

more gods...naaa. some demi-gods whould be nice though

and aendar just because people cant kill you ingame dosent mean your an undying god ok?

[Phinehas]

I agree with Auran on this one. I think we should have our own Pantheon of gods. That\'d mean that like, smiths and miners can have their god etc. etc. etc. I really think we should replace Laanx with Auran.   I mean, seriously, how hard is it to figure out which one is more evil?

[snow_RAveN]

ive got a post some where in the wish list bout something like this but its bout saints and no i wont give a link go find it your self

and bah more gods ! there is only 1 true god and his name is Menoth
belive in Menoth or burn !

[Draklar]

And the will shall return
And again hearts shall burn
that\'s fine with me...

anyway, Auran you noob! That was said countless times already. And the answer is still same: There won\'t be new gods. There\'s nothing wrong with current ones (tho\' I have doubts about the Laanx guy).
Just do your job and believe in what you want. Who said what you believe in must be true?

[Auran]

Nah! The current gods are pathetic whatever anyone says. If there\'s one point this game sucks at then it is in its pantheons. And there will be new gods. No gods in heaven or devs on earth can stop the faithful from believeing. Why if the PS management won\'t allow this then we could just take this poll to an independent forum and start believing in whatever the public decides. Faith is not something that can be regulated. Not even bill gates could do it and he\'s evil incarnate:D.

I never quite figured out why they call Talad \"the ebony god\"? Sounds like racist porno:P. And laanx is below contemplation. I don\'t even know if its a \'he\' or \'she\' let alone what laanx stands for. (Now this might all reflect my ignorance but I urge everyone not to think along those lines:P). So i urge that new gods be created.

 I will even go one step further and ask people to nominate persons for portfolios of gods. Anyone who gets five or more nominations can then run in an election where we can elect three new gods. We can even have proper campaigning, debates and stuff. That should even give us something to do before CB;). Who all are game? Post aye and we\'ll officially contact PS administration. So what will it be?

So I officially nominate Mogura for \"Goddess of Healing\".
The little lady deserves it.

PS: Love your idea Piney man but I doubt that\'ll happen. But just in case I\'ll put up a \"ME FOR GOD\" slogan in my siggy:P:D.

[Xalthar]

My diaboli character refuses to believe in any such nonsense as gods.. although he has a strange affinity for V?dul...

[Draklar]

\" I don\'t even know if its a \'he\' or \'she\' let alone what laanx stands for.\" - how about reading the Planeshift setting?

she denied her being, her femininity

the site is here: http://www.planeshift.it/setting_history.html

oh, and this is wrong forum, should be Wish List.

I would expect from someone being here for months to know a bit more about this place...[/color]

[Auran]

those that don\'t believe in gods think of these guys as overpaid, overindulged, good for nothings who are paid to rest their a$$ez:D. Maybe that will help you overcome your dislike of supreme authorities of anykind;).

And Drak man:
Just because I participate in the game called PS doesn\'t mean I endorse half baked concoctions of these Devs. Just because they created the game doesn\'t make them the dictators of these realms. So I choose to ignore many of the things that they want me to accept among these their lame history of these realms.

Infact I have more to say: Each and every player in this game is as critical a component of this game as the devs themselves. A game is useless without its players no matter how much of a masterpiece it is;). But I think our Devs do understand that. They are pretty intelligent fellows:). So I don\'t think they\'ll restrict the right to be a god to devs solely. Let see how the cooky crumbles.

Moreover I don\'t post this in the Wish list section because till date it is just one of my many hafl baked ideas:P. Once I have public support I will be sure to request, nay demand this of the devs. Plus they needn\'t program anything to this end. All they would need to do is respect the faith of the community and accept their gods into the official pantheon. We are not asking for temples, we just want our right to worship. So in all probabilty I think they will allow this.

[elscouta]

I assume you don\'t post this in Wish List because this is another of your jokes :rolleyes:. They will probably never be others god, and especially not players. Even Mogura failed to introduce her home-made goddess .

[Maxximus]

Question for the experts...

Do MMORPG game developers usually play as omnipotent players or the \"gods\" that they write into the baseline story of the game? Or, do the written histories of these gods serve as the only influence that the gods have in the game?

If Talad and other supernatural beings in Planeshift are no more than literary references and statues in the game then who cares what people say these gods do - players in the game will make stuff happen, not the gods. If that\'s the case then nothing prevents people from discovering or inventing new gods. All they have to do is say a new one exists, get enough players to beleive it, and start to attribute this or that failed crop to her divine power. Right?

Either way, people who use logic instead of prayers to obtain what they want will have the most power and wealth in Planeshift. These same people might publically claim to be serving Talad, et. al., but that will be a cover story used to manipulate all the obedient believers. You will be able to catch the most relgious people who are also making a lot of tria in same way from relgion in all sorts of lies, too, because they will stray off the path of their relgion sooner or later. One way or another you will be able to show that their gods are purely imaginary, unless of course, someone actually plays as the gods.

RP hat on now...I say those histories are lies, lies, lies.  

[The Gumster]

gods are divine beings that are superior to us in every aspect (with the possible exception fo their foul temper) they should not be voted for, never.
and if you dont like Talad or Laanx then just be an atheist.

[seperot]

I dont plan to worship a god i plan to become one

now where was i on my quest of that......oh yea *runs off*
