E. I mean, Ran's the God of animal husbandry, right?

That warm and fuzzy feeling.
As a general rule of thumb, not once has an Elfgame ever been made better by someone's nuts being chopped off and paraded around like the Heisman Trophy.

Greek myth had incest, rape, bestiality, forced animal transformation, forced inanimate transformation and god knows what else, that does NOT give carte blanche to put it in an elf game.

This. It's basically a glorified "BUT REALISM" argument except the only "realism" is that stuff Ronwayne just listed.

I liked it. Emphasized that Mercury is a bit more alien and weird. And the apegod is just dead meat. They EAT bull testicles in some cultures.

What the gently caress is an elfgame anyway. Honestly kinda saddened by the grade school reaction.

An "elfgame" is kind of a tongue in cheek term for a fantasy RPG.

Hey bug to clear things up, a couple of players felt really uncomfortable with your post regarding the god carving. Some did not. Some didn’t care. Asking for the players that did feel uncomfortable, how do you feel about your character moving forward? It’s fair to say that I’m asking in that regard that the body horror/sex can be areas that are too far, and I should have clarified this with everyone as I haven’t played with everyone to know what’s good in regards to fair play.

Keep in mind there’s gonna be some traps going off and that in no way implies a knee jerk reaction. That being said, apegod did not have balls, and to spoil the story he had quested his entire life for them.

Personally I don't care. Hell even my character is more like, "Eh, that's a little weird."

Well, I'm sorry that I caused controversy. I'm not Trying to be all edge. In this instance, I was trying to think of something significant enough that afterwards it would make some sense to think "okay, we have its power now".

With the body horror stuff, I started evoking it because I've found it difficult to be "psychic" without other minds to psychic with, and it kinda stuck. If it makes you feel better, I've been trying to keep this one in check. That image of my character when it was battling was definitely the most tasteful I could find. I just have to hold the reigns tighter on this one, I think

As for erotic-sex in fantasy, rather than descriptive biology, I consider it to be sort of a radioactive element. I'm sure it has a place somewhere, but I'd be nervous if that place was next to me.

The game has to stay together. If people are nervous to read my posts, that will probably gum up the works. I'd be disappointed if I had to withdraw, but I would understand if it was necessary.

Ok thank you for your response and thank you for playing; I’ll remove Mercury in a way that’s not disrespectful.

I can show you what endless looks like
I can show you a single infinite thing
I can let you taste the sweet and sour of forever
Unending. Eternal. Inevitable
Taste my darkness
Climb into my abyss
Fall into me. Into my eyes
Look at them. Depths unfathomable
Pain immeasurable
A cruel promise fulfilled

GRUMBOL was overruled! Re-count! More than 1.2% so no re-count!

Hey all.
So I'm behind, and feel quite out of the current flow of the game. On top of that, I'm slammed with RL for the rest of the week. At this point, I think I'm going to have to drop out. Sorry about that, hope you all keep having fun.

Oh hey just to clarify, no need! If you've dropped the game (as is your choice and understandable per discussion) then there isn't a post to be made. I updated a post closing you guys out.
