Per the sarcasm mode page, if the sarcasm can be readily identified without the need for a pothole, it shouldn\'t be potholed. Given the assertion of rationality in regards to killing a man because she loves him, I\'d say it falls pretty squarely in that category.


* LoveMakesYouEvil: Eris' mortal was a surgeon who fell in love with one of her patients. After his upcoming surgery, he would leave the hospital, and she was afraid of never seeing him again. So she made the [[SarcasmMode adult, rational choice]] of intentionally botching the surgery and killing him so that he could never leave her. And then she snuck into the morgue and cut out his eyes for good measure. Romantic, no?

* So far largely averted. Max does consider Hades a bit of a jerk at first, but that's just because Hades doesn't know how to deal with people very well. Comments by the other gods suggest he's always been a bit of a loner, but this isn't portrayed as a negative thing.

Max, a youngster living at home with his sick mother and giving out IT advice via computers to others, is met with a popup ad about being the one millionth visitor of the page and a link to an online personality test. He considers it a joke, so he sends the link of the test to his friend via instant messaging before filling the test himself.

[[http://olympusoverdrive.com/ Olympus Overdrive]] is 2013 a webcomic by milky and Antares (Hiveworks Comics LLD).

Max, a youngster living at home with his sick mother and giving out IT advice via computers to others, is met with a popup ad about being the one millionth visitor of the page and a link to an online personality test. He considers it a joke, so he sends the link of the test to his friend via instant messaging before filling the test himself.

Hardly does he finish the test, though, when he gets a package- or more like, a purple statue of a horse. When he touches it, an adolescent boy with horns appears and introduces himself as [[ClassicalMythology Hades]], Lord of the Underworld. Turns out the two of them must work together- the gods are playing a game to decide who can rule Olympus. The rules?
# Each god is assigned a human who filled the personality test Max found as well. The god in question will get a "reboot", depending on the answers.
## "Favourite food" decides what food the god in question will be able to eat while on Earth.
## "Favourite colour" decides the god's [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation skin colour]].
## "Recent Prized Possession" decides the overall theme of the god. (eg. Max wrote "flatscreen", so the three heads of Cerberus became flatscreens)
## "Your Desired Height" is how tall the god will become.
## "Male/Female/Other" will become the god's gender.
# The god and the human will be connected with a chain at their chests during the night.
# Cutting the chain of an other duo will give you their powers.
# Having your chain cut will mean you lose- your god is out of the game and you yourself will have your memory wiped.
