[REMINDER + GOD APPLICATIONS]

[attorneyatlol]

First order of business: This is a reminder that the character limit goes into effect on January 1, 2009. The magic number is 9, meaning you won't be able to apply for any more characters once you reach the limit.

Players who already have more than 9 won't be asked to drop any characters but will be required to lessen their numbers before they apply for anyone else.

Secondly: After much discussion and weighing the pros and cons, we've decided to open up applications for mythological characters (Greek gods etc.) on a two month trial basis that will also begin on January 1, 2009.

We've reviewed past concerns regarding god characters, and the main issue seems to stem from godmoding, which is a problem that can crop up with any character. Naturally, they'll be subject to the same godmoding rules as everyone else, and anyone found breaking those rules will be handled in the same manner as any other player.

To avoid issues of OOCness, players will be asked to cite specific references or myths that offer insight into characterization.

Note: Applications for any religious figures or deities from top ten active world religions will not be accepted.

Remember, this is a two-month trial; once it's over, we'll see how everything went and then come to a final decision. (If the final decision isn't in favor of gods, characters that were applied for during the trial period will be kept for as long as their players will have them--i.e. we don't expect you to drop them.)

Feel free to comment with any questions or concerns! ♥

This plan makes me smile~♥

I'm glad~♥ :D

Sounds good to me ^_^ Though Tyki is very upset about it. He haaaaaaaates the god characters. All of them. Even the ones who have been nice to him, lol.

[attorneyatlol]

Phoenix isn't very fond of them, either, though one or two of them have managed to sneak their ways onto his list of friends. ;)

You try going several hundred years without your twin.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...I'm not sure I want to know exactly what you were "going without" in this case.

[sine-sole-sileo.livejournal.com]

...what part of "celibate huntress" do you not understand, Karen Minazuki? We Greeks may be hedonistic by nature, but we do have some propriety, I thank you.

[oceanicbutterfly]

My mun is male. He thinks "celibate" is a misspelling of "celebrate" as in "let's celebrate with some sex."

[sine-sole-sileo.livejournal.com]

And now that he has outed himself, my player will have to trod most carefully when it comes to using certain vocabulary that can be butchered to become something sophomoric. :)

[oceanicbutterfly]

So, all language ever?

[sine-sole-sileo.livejournal.com]

Yes.

If I were to reapp Hestia, would Theoi and Homeric Hymns still be acceptable as references? She's...very lacking when it comes to story tiem. D:

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

I had no idea you played her in the first place. I enjoyed her very much.

[attorneyatlol]

...I will get back to you on this!

[carnality.livejournal.com]

Theoi would not as it's a website that's just a collection of sources and information, much like wikipedia.

The Homeric Hymns would be, however you'd have to reference which one specifically so we can go through and read to cross reference your characterization.

[fruitsgrow.livejournal.com]

Would the one about her vow of chastity be enough? I think there's actually three hymns involving her, but. lol they lack so much about her character. )8 I've been looking around for other myths, but the only other is interchangeable with a nymph.

fffff grammar fail

[carnality.livejournal.com]

You can link us to all the myths you can find about her, it doesn't have to be just one. I can't really guarantee anything, it'll really depend on the source material. nn;

[fruitsgrow.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll. Just search high and low for less questionable sources. XD;

Thanks!
