That's brilliant, Paddy. 
Funniest Poly quote I've seen in weeks.
Or perhaps so omnipresent they aren't actually anywhere anymore. With omniscience comes the knowledge that posts are irrelevant, perhaps?Comment

my young lad feels that some of them, the dieties' are running around here with new names so that people are not thrown by that dieties reputation etc
I did not have the heart to tell him of DL's
then he is 10, so I sure he will read some thread on them eventuallyComment

Well, I was thinking about this Godship thing and Godship book of Ghengis Farb's... and I was wondering if it could be supplemented by another little fun bit
Remember your 'Apolyton Statistics?' Well... I was figuring that we could adapt them somewhat...
For example, we could have the Attack Statistic=1 Mana point per attack stat.
And then, A la Dungeons and Dragons, we could have each deity carve out a Realm of Influence.
Initially, all Deities would be forced to contribute 50 Mana Points to one of the Realms of Influence and choose whether they are either Good/Neutral/Evil.
*In order to contest a Realm of Influence, a Deity must have 2 LAW or CHAOS points in that section.
(A Deity with LAW can only attack a Deity with CHAOS, and vice versa)
*Spheres of Power give each deity a powerup when contesting a Realm of Influence.
*Each Realm of Influence can only be attacked once per day.
[When losing a battle, the deity who loses will lose 10 Mana Points from his Realm of Influence... when Mana=0 in that realm, (s)he will be considered a "Fallen Deity"]
The Chart
Mana Points- xxx
Spheres of Power (6)
(Advancements cost 5 mana points for one level)
FLAME (for inciting flames/trolling) [+1 TROLLING]
WATER (for dousing flames) [+1 BANNING]
METAL (for computer programming and massive posting) [+1 SPAMMING]
WOOD (for behind-the-scenes power that is little understood) [+1 MODERATION]
SUN (for obvious posting that is seen/commented on by all) [+1 SPAMMING]
DARK (for stealthy posting that is noticed by none) [+1 LURKING]
Realms of Influence (5)
SPAM (good/neutral/evil)
TROLLS (good/neutral/evil)
BANNING (good/neutral/evil)
MODERATION (good/neutral/evil)
LURKING (good/neutral/evil)
Further Alignments (2)
(Advancements cost 10 Mana Points for one level)
LAW
CHAOS
-
although 'lurking' is sort of a misnomer you could see it as associated with the DARK sphere of power.
And, as you see, through clever placement of points in spheres of power- different Deities can expand their powers of influence and threaten the patron gods' Realms of Influence.
*PS: Perhaps this should be moved to the OTHER GAMES section of the forum?

An Example

Mao
Good Deity of Spam
Mana Points- 10
Spheres of Power
FLAME- 2
METAL- 1
Realms of Influence
SPAM (GOOD) 50
Further Alignments
LAW- 2
--
Alexander's Horse
Evil Deity of Trolling
Mana Points- 0
Spheres of Power
FLAME- 4
Realms of Influence
TROLLING (EVIL) 50
Further Alignments
CHAOS- 2
--
If Mao were to attack Alexander's Horse today, then using a random number generator, the gamemaster would roll a die for each (attacker and defender)
Let us assume Mao rolls a 3 and AH rolls a 2.
AH would then add his FLAME bonus of 4 and Mao would add his FLAME bonus of 2, giving each:
Mao- 5
AH- 6
In this case, AH wins (if it were a tie, the defender wins)... therefore, Mao loses 10 Mana Points in the realm of SPAM (good)
However, AH gains nothing, since he was defending, not attacking.

Hopefully, this is understandable!

I think that Ming and rah would trounce any other deity here.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Sounds interesting, but wouldn't all the deities be in the realm of spam?
I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Well, some of the Deitys are Mods and some are trolls
