Added DiffLines:

* {{Aborted Arc}}: The war stuff, where the humans under Yaos were to fight the Gruens under Grauel with lots of side factions. Unfortunately, it got canceled because it entered {{Development Hell}} and probably nobody except maybe the GM cared too much about it anyway.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Small Reference Pools}}: Played with. The large number of players helps to avert this.

Added DiffLines:

** This could be read as nobody playing with diseases, nobody playing with all three diseases alone, or nobody playing with diseases that wiped out a quarter because they wiped out less or more. It borders on {{Jackass Genie}}, which the GM himself admitted.


Added DiffLines:

* {{War God}}: Fusil, but there's no evidence that she's done anything actually warlike or violent beyond showing off her weapons and her angel/servant Tykki.

* {{Did We Just Have Tea With Cthulhu}}: A few of the gods seem to talk to the Void a lot, only encouraging its [[TheCorruption corruptions]]. Not coincidentally, they're the most likely to tolerate it.


Added DiffLines:

Added DiffLines:

* {{Killer Game Master}}: The GM says all the disasters are the players' faults, but he also says he [[BlatantLies never lies]]...
* {{Literal Genie}}: The Oracle, so very much. There's a lot of complaining from the players who probably sent questions privately. The worst one we can actually see is:
-->Q: "What God caused the diseases that wiped out 1/4 of several races?"
-->A: "None of them caused the diseases that wiped out a quarter of three races."
