Fanatics and Heretics
As an ‘Acolyte’ that initially has no belief in the False Gods, you hear the omnipotent call of a mysterious being, naming itself ‘Rozinanza’:
“Cursed are those who choose not to follow us; to the lowly beings below, hear my call. Whoever gives the most tribute to the ones I gave birth to shall receive endless power, and will become one of the deities you so fear!”
As an elemental struggling to survive, the call to honor the (False) Gods is enticing, given the so-called ‘endless power’ that will be handed to you…
SIGNING-UPPlayers sign up in the topic by posting in this topic. Only 29 players (maximum) are allowed (one per False God if possible). While signing up, you have two choices:
-Specifically choose a False God (except Rainbow) that you would like to be Esteemed with (See in the Reputation section below for details on Reputation ranks)
OR
-Don’t choose any FG and let a random False God favor you instead.
First come first serve when it comes to getting the False God you may want. PLEASE ANNOUNCE which False God you wish to be Esteemed with publicly, or else I won't count them.There are three ways to win the game:
To win via ‘
Fanaticism’, you must have at least 25/29 False Gods in the ‘Liked’ status or above, or at least 20/29 False Gods that are ‘Favored’.
To win via ‘
Heresy’, you must have at least 18/29 False Gods in the ‘Disliked’ status or below, or at least 20/29 False Gods that are ‘Scared’.
To win via ‘
Apocalypse’, all other players must simply be killed.
RULESWith the exception of Rainbow, False Gods are grouped accordingly:

Reputation-Each player has assigned reputation with all 29 of the False Gods. There are 7 ranks of Reputation, in which players can ascend or descend the ranks from the actions below:
Hated (H): The lowest rank of reputation obtainable – False Gods will also ignore your Disputes and Submissions under this stage; every False God that hates you will also decrease your maximum health points by 1. You want to avoid this at all costs! (Remember; you CANNOT USE DISPUTE OR SUBMIT if you're Hated by that False God (group/realm)!)
(unless you're a Heretic...)Disliked (D): False Gods that heavily dislike your presence, and will not forgive you even if you Dispute; certain special abilities will have much stronger effects on targets that have the ‘disliked’ reputation or worse. (Remember; you CANNOT USE DISPUTE if you're Disliked by that False God (group/realm)!)
Ignored (I): False Gods that ignore your presence; a few special abilities may have unique effects on targets that have the ‘ignored’ (or lower) reputation.
Apathetic/Acknowledged (A): The neutral stance of most False Gods. Nothing gained or lost.
Respected (R): False Gods that respect your presence; a few special abilities may have unique effects on targets that have the ‘respected’ (or higher) reputation.
Liked (L): False Gods that generally like your presence, and will allow you to be granted to the Basic Action, 'Promote'.
Favored (F): False Gods that favor your presence above all others; you can use the False God’s ‘Divine Action’ with this status. You may only lose this reputation status if multiple players (2 or more) Accuse you and that specific False God (either targeting the False God individually or within a group that the FG belongs to). You gain 1 maximum heart per False God that favors you.[/list]
There are three ‘special’ reputation ranks that only be acquired by special means:
Esteemed (E): The one False God that chose you (or that you chose) and that will refuse to abandon you, regardless of your standing with other False Gods. Your reputation cannot be lowered from this False God by Accusations, and you have access to its unique ‘Divine’ ability.
Exhausted (X): These False Gods are too weak in order to use their Divine Powers, and are vulnerable to dramatic reputation swings: using ‘Promote’ on them only will force them to elevate you to ‘Scared’ status automatically with them, or using ‘Honor’ will force them to ‘Respect’ you. You can revert an Exhausted False God back to their normal status if you recover them to full health.
Scared (S): These False Gods are terrified of your presence; you cannot gain or lose reputation with them, but players who are Favored with them cannot use their Divine Action against you. The ‘Scared’ status cannot be removed, but can be obtained in three ways:
Gain Favored with another player’s Esteemed FG, and then kill that player.Force a False God to become ‘Exhausted’, and then use ‘Promote’ on that same False God.Do a very crazy action with a False God that has the “Liked” or “Favored” status…
[/list]
Actions-There are seven main actions: Honor, Accuse, Dispute, Submit, Fight, Mend, and Promote. Each player normally has 3 ‘Action points’ they may spend on that day. You may perform as many actions as allowed, but you CANNOT spend more than the number of actions points you have (in
most cases, this will be 3...).
-Send your actions via PMs only, unless you are targeted by certain Divine Actions OR if you want others to know if what you're doing...
-Sending a PM that will send you over your daily allowance of points will automatically negate all points that you have (i.e. – you act as if you didn’t perform any actions).
-In addition to the Basic Actions, you can also perform certain Divine actions depending on the reputation you have with certain False Gods. Most of the Divine Actions have a cooldown (0 cooldown means it can be used every turn, 1 cooldown = requires a 1 turn wait, etc.)
ORDER OF ACTIONS:All Divine ActionsSubmit then Dispute
Promote then HonorAccusationsFight and Mend (happens at the same time)[/list]
Honor (1-3): Honor a specific False God (1 AP), False God Group by their ‘Power’ (2 AP), or Realm of False Gods (3 AP) and increase your reputation from them by 1 rank.
Honor Rainbow, Honor Realm of the Heavens
Accuse (1-3): Select a specific False God/False God Group (by Essence)/Realm of False Gods and a player to Accuse the player of being unfaithful and the False God of being ignorant, lowering their reputation by 1 rank of the False God(s). This has no effect on players who use Honor or Promote on the same False God(s).
Accuse Legit Jezebel, Accuse $$$man Power of Transmutation
Dispute (1-3): Select a specific False God/False God Group (by Essence)/Realm of False Gods and a player to Dispute them of being a hypocrite (False Gods that are Ignoring you or worse cannot be used as the target). If that player uses ‘Honor’ respectively on the False Gods targeted, they instead LOSE reputation (1 rank) from that/those False God(s), and you GAIN reputation from them (1 rank). If they use Promote, they do not become Favored by that False God and cannot target that False God the next turn. However, if the player did not Honor or Promote the targeted False God(s), YOU lose double reputation (2 ranks) from the/those False God(s) selected.
Dispute Malignant Power of Retribution, Dispute moomoose Rainbow
Submit (3): Submit yourself to the higher powers, begging to be forgiven of your noobiness (works for all False Gods that have higher reputation than ‘Hated’). If any player uses ‘Accuse’ against you, the False Gods will show mercy and you instead GAIN reputation (1 rank) from that False God (or False God group). If no player Accuses you of being unfaithful, the False Gods will ignore your begging, and nothing happens.
Submit
Fight (1): Fight a target player and remove 1 of their hearts; fighting a player will lower your reputation by 1 rank with ALL of the False Gods that have the “Respect” status or higher with them, and conversely raise your reputation by 1 rank with ALL of the False Gods that have the “Ignored” status or lower with them.
Fight kevkev60614, Fight Hermes
Individual False Gods can also be targeted for 1 AP, but you will lower your reputation with them each time you attack them until they become ‘Exhausted’.
Mend (1): Mend a target player and restore 1 of their hearts; mending a player will increase your reputation by 1 rank with ALL of the False Gods that have the “Respect” status or higher with them, while also decreasing your reputation by 1 rank with ALL of the False Gods that have the “Ignored” status or lower with them.
Mend (Self), Mend Higurashi
Individual False Gods can also be targeted for 1 AP, and you will raise your reputation (except from Liked to Favored!) with them each time you heal them until they have full HP.
Promote (1): Request the target False God (only one at a time, as in you may promote different individual False Gods, but you cannot promote an entire Realm) to Promote you to ‘Favored’ status. This action can only be canceled by ‘Dispute’, but your reputation cannot be decreased by Dispute while using Promote. You must be 'Liked' by that False God in order to use this action on them. You cannot use or gain their Divine Action until next turn as well.
Promote Serket, Promote Osiris
[/list]
NOTE: All Divine Actions do not lower your reputation with any False God when used on any target, except for those that explicitly state that your reputation may change.
Health-Each player has ‘10 hearts’. When your heart count goes to zero, you are automatically eliminated (i.e. – ‘killed’) from the game.
There are multiple ways to lose strikes; for every False God that has the ‘Hated’ status with you, your maximum heart count decreases by 1. Certain abilities and actions (Strike) can temporarily (or permanently) reduce any player’s heart count as well.
Likewise, you can increase your maximum heart count by 1 for every False God that Favors you (excluding the Esteemed FG). Certain abilities and actions (Mend) can temporarily (or permanently) replenish or increase any player’s heart count as well.
-Each False God has ’20 hearts’, and will become ‘Exhausted’ when their heart count drops to zero or lower (yes, negative numbers!). False Gods with 0 or less hearts left cannot aid players by using their ‘Divine Actions’; in order for a False God to leave the ‘Exhausted’ status, players must use Mend on that False God until they are fully ‘recovered’.
