Sadly, I cannot get my girlfriend to play lusternia. She thinks it's a waste of time, I think.

I really liked Daganev's idea of being able to 'champion' someone in an event.

And I kind of wish that the people who had no interest in attaining godhood would not do the tasks to do so... I completely vote for seperating that as a different game/event or removing the bonuses.

Great idea, I've always wanted to see this since before the game started, and we were all on the MSN group.

I'm definately going for it, and we all know that I'm a poor fighter in Lusternia, but I think I'll even try the combat tasks. This kind of thing seems right up my alley! I love to roleplay, I don't really PK, I rarely talk to Lusternians oocly (Veritrax no longer counts as a lusternian, as he quit ), love just about everything about the game, and I have somewhat of a following (though they're not all completely skilled at combat).

However, some things that concern me:
-The PK-fest at the end. I'd rock as an RP god, but I don't have a system that works.
-Another thing, is that all these people seem to want to try for a seal, and don't actually want to ascend. Might be nice to refrain from trying to win if you don't want to...
-And when vernals ascended in the stories, it's true the took on a whole new life, but they didn't forget their old one, like Gorob for example. It'd be most excellent if you keep some of your old important loot if you have any (even gods have loot!), keep your old info, and your family status stays the same (though you wouldn't necessarily interact with them on the same kind of a level). Now sure, I'd be willing to toss that all away, but reading through the histories, it doesn't seem like an ascended person would need to do so.

I think the labyrinth idea with situations you have to RP would be great, or things that required though. If you're going to have someone that will not be focusing on killing people all the time, it'd be nice for the tasks (at least the final one?) to be less oriented towards that.

All in all, I love this idea, think there might be a few kinks to it, but we'll see how it goes, and have some fun!

I'll be in it for the seals. Assuming I can get a new motherboard that will fit a socket A processor in time to participate and on the assumption that my current one being royally buggered turns out to be all that's wrong with my computer.

I realy hope that none of the city or commune leaders decide to have an offical choice and/or use powerblocking, favoring, disfavoring, or outcitzening to influence peoples choices. It would ruin the contest.

ICly, doing that whould make sense. OOCly, it would make the contest "Which org can fight better?" rather than "Who would make a good God?"

Deciding who is a better God is more important then who your charcter would like.

What we should do is pick someone that ins't going to like anywhere best.

It's alot like PvP, If it makes IC sense to do something but OOC you know doing that would make the game less fun you don't do it. The leader of a city could go ahead and say "You have to vote for this person or else" but they shouldn't becuase doing that would be to the detriment of the game.

That's a totally subjective position. It may be to the detriment of others, but it's to the IC benefit of the org. There's a difference between not going the extra mile to screw people over in PK, and doing something(or failing to do something) that would provide a specific benefit to your org.

It's the difference between failing to hurt someone else, and failing to help yourself.

This IS about not going the extra mile to screw people over. If a city leader says everyone must vote for someone or be ousted they are ruining the basis that this event is based on. That basis is that the person with the most playerbase suport and isn't a idiot will become a God. To oust people that vote for someone other then who you want is paramount to a dictator deporting his opposition.
