RP Gods
 
Some MMORPGs have people RPing the gods. Not sure if this would work on kingdoms, as there is a horrid lack of rping, but thought I would mention it. Maybe would work for "god wars", as was mentioned in other post.

Sorry for short post, but am v. sick and should not stay at computer long as it hurts my head.

It's like this. Lets say that King Larrien of Dustari wants to worship the fallen Viking Spirit of Erik Heimdal. Then he would go to the altar and drop like food, stones, minerals, weapons, anything. He'd pray 25 times... and he would say something like Erik Heimdal is great. I would have a log on that and everyday I would read through it and I could give blessings and such to those loyal ones.

Like, there could be alot of differnt blessings and there would be a set guide-line for the prayers and blessings. But the players-dieties can be more interactive and such. Like lets say Dustari's patron diety is Erik Heimdal. Then my favor would be in their seats. It means that I would be able to grant Dustari more favors than a kingdom that doesn't worship Erik.

It wouldn't be corrupted, as the dieties would have to be trusted people who could never go corrupt. And there is always the Mutal Blessings... But like the dieties would fight and such, leading nations into war... and bringing destruction and glory.

You say "But Zurkiba NPCs can do that", Now picture this... The Voodoo cult on the Pirate Island is trying to contact the spirit of their lord Girum. Then Girum can be summoned there and help the pirates out.

The dieties would have a set level and they cant level up or anything... Like lets say there is the player-diety that is for peace... that person would have a level of like five. But the other player-diety is a sword-bearer... that person would be like level 8.

Wouldn't it be cool though? Like Zormite is going to war soon, so they call apon their great diety, Blahblahentersomerandomnamehere. Their diety is a warmonger, so the level is around nine. They can ask the diety to help them in the war if they were faithful enough and if they prayed enough and everything.

It would be the ultimate RPing experience and it would be rather fun. You could worship Aftershock and he could be summoned to help govern the state for a little bit.

And yet again, a guideline would be set so noone could be corrupt. Like in order for a diety to help you, then you need like 20 hours of worship. But lets say you just want A Handaxe of Erik... then you would need like 5 hours of worship. Or something like that.

:)

The tags would be like (Diety)
Erik Heimdal the (Diety) or something

maybe something like (Diety of <dominion>)
(Diety of Soverignty) [Priest]
(Diety of Warfare) [Warrior]
(Diety of Wealth) [Thief]
(Diety of Power) [Barbarian]
(Diety of Science) [Alchemist]

level 9? If they're a god they should be like level 15.

15? They're a god. Why not level 50? :o

And yet another thing is made an issue of how much time you spend tapping a button instead of how well you rp :[

If you're a god you should be unhurtable but completely unable to fight (except in special battles), and chosen purely for your RPing ability. It would be a case of giving up everything you own (skills, items, weapons, whatever) for the roleplaying opportunity.

Kaiser2 02-15-2003 07:39 PM

Actually, when in tag, you can't fight, but have more access to other people, etc. When off tag, you're OOT, so you can fight, etc.

I disagree
Hurtable and able to fight, but not die. Like in the Iliad and other Greek novels. When I think it's Diomedes, stabs Ares/Mars with a spear, Ares retreats in pain and his wounds are closed by Zeus.

Kaimetsu 02-17-2003 05:46 PM

Godhood shouldn't be an aid to PKing. Either the God player would be normal-powered, in which case everybody would say 'wtf that god is not very powerful', or he'd be super-powered, in which case everyone would complain because idiots like boukon would get chosen and become even more powerful. If you give power with the position then all it'll ever be is a power commodity, not an RPing role.

Tyhm 02-17-2003 11:21 PM

Player-gods should be powered by popularity. Evil gods with many fans are powerful, good gods with many fans are powerful, stupid newbie PKer gods with no fans are weaker than if they were regular mortals and so Descend.

Oh my god, almost every god can kill and pwn :(
He this is a very old thread revived, but when i still had my PW project i had the same idea... Gods RPed by people are the pwn...

Judge_S 11-05-2003 06:21 AM

Oh help us please.

9 months since the last reply! Please would you people stop? I've already chastised another careless mind within the past 5 minutes for the exact same thing.

Sureth 11-05-2003 09:06 AM

Bumping old threads is the coolest.

If you don't think so, then you obviously need to go hit yourself with a broken coke bottle.

GoZelda 11-05-2003 05:54 PM

I only revive threads which make sense, and this one does. Else you'd've been flamed by Loriel restoring Voodo Master :O
