Lords of Creation 9 (OCC)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I should really get into making more artifacts...I've had lots of Ideas, I've just been too lazy to make them

[Celadon's Penultimate]

And I haven't had the time...

[Mik_Hael]

I haven't got the motes.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

It's not a contest guys...

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

I look forward to seeing your new creations.

You are right in saying that this isn't a competition as well. I'm just making all of these Artifacts as rewards from Mina to her heroes though they don't know that yet.

Also, as I am the only one who has made Artifacts that aren't Divine ones from what I can tell (unless Marv's statues aren't Divine, in which case one of only two), I suggest that there be a limit on Divine Artifacts so that we get non-Divine Artifacts made as well. The limit being we can make 10 Divine ones without limit, but if we want to make an 11th Divine Artifact then we need to make 5 non-Divine Artifacts. For simplicity's sake:

Limit on Divine Artifacts = 10 + 1 for every 5 non-Divine Artifacts

This way we can at least make people focus less on increasing the might of their pantheons and more on making actual legends.

And before anyone says I have too many for this limitation, I don't. I have 11 Divine Artifacts and 6 non-Divine Artifacts.

[Philote]

That might not work so well for me, I have 13 Divine Artifacts, soon to be 15, if I counted correctly, and even though I plan to create 8 Artifacts for my heroes next, a 5:1 ratio does not work to well.

You're right that we need  to have people start making Artifacts, but I'm not sure that is the best way to do it. If a person wanted to make a Divine Artifact past their 10th, they would then need to make 5 Artifacts that most likely wouldn't hold much importance.

I'll post again for out fight sometime tonight, I've been busy with a paper.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

We can evoke the 'Grandfather Clause' situation kind of thing. The grandfather clause, if I recall correctly, states that anything before a rule was created does not count. As for the other part, I am using my Artifacts and Divine Artifacts equally. I've used the Mirror of Potential 6 times, will definitely use the Hydra Dagger in Nayotake's match and all the Artifacts I create will be used, but we do need a limit of some kind on Divine Artifacts and right now, my suggestion is the only one out there.

[Mik_Hael]

...I thought the grandfather clause was a law saying that if anyone in your ancestry around the time of your grandfather was a slave you couldn't vote.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

That's what it meant then, but now....its a saying in its own right.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

let's see I;ve got to create the Creation Clay (arifact), Make a god of Mechanics, and raise a new hero from the Milteos....I;ve got a lot to do.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

So, what do you think of the rule I'm proposing?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

It seems a bit limiting to force people to make artifacts to make divine artifacts.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

It is a bit limiting, but people are focusing from what it seems like, only on Divine Artifacts just to make their pantheons stronger and usually in most mythologies there are less Divine Artifacts then Artifacts. I'm actually regretting making so many Major Gods and not making more Minor or Demi Gods, but hey, my pantheon is complete right now.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

And my patheon is just beginning.  Mwa ha ha ha ha ha....ahem......So....any thoughts on my gods?

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Archia seems like she'll be interesting, the God of Mechanics... Bwahahahha! And this is why I told Cabanilla that if he wanted to join, he wouldn't be able to do so as God of Tech, because Crav already has the position. Yes, Cabanilla was thinking of joining, but he wanted his god to be God of Technology, which wouldn't have worked out with your god being God of Crafting and Industry. Either way, I suggest that you make the castle a god. Now THAT would be cool.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I can see how that may be a problem. However, while I'll be referring to her as Archia in the comments section for now, this goddess of architecture actually doesn't have a name yet.

[Philote]

Well, so far there hasn't really been much need for artifacts, since them seem more for the mortals and not the Spirits. I just felt like I could spend a little more motes for a much stronger artifact and that would be the better deal.

Maybe you could demote or divide your current Major's in order to make more Minor or Demi ones, if you really wanted to.

Marv, you could still have Artifacts as a domain if you want. I'm going to have Lore have the domain of Power(Artifacts) so you could make one that has something like Crafting(Artifacts).

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Naw, like I said before...I'm not much for an god of artifacts.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Artifacts are meant for mortals, yes and those are exactly the ones the gods are making the world for. They need to have legends that they can aspire to be able to gain and use or create themselves such as Nayotake's Hydra Dagger which is an Artifact and non-Divine. It seems highly unlikely that an ordinary mortal could use a Divine Artifact to its full potential, but an Artifact is definitely usable by anyone.

No, I'm not going to demote any of my goddesses. It's an interesting idea, but no.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Aaaaaw, no name? That's saddening. I suggest that she be named ASAP.
