I think you should look a little at the history of what is going on here pekka. you seem a little confused. I'll explain it. You see awhile ago there was no desc describing the gods in any depth there was only this desc of the creation myth found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/boc.html At the time the game needed more indepth description of the gods and their origins so I came up with this desc here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0329.html You will notice in this desc are the origins of the war of the gods, The war between the new gods and the old, the creation of the mortal races and the creation of the ancients (ie sages and new gods) It is very different then I'm sure mandor told you at the convention. You see at a time it was only namhas beregar Yorka and myself working on the project at the time. Brethel had quit, sinister had quit, and mandor was MIA. I came up with this desc becouse there was nothing really before it. Well mandor then took this from me and has headed it ever sence excluding any input I had to make and saying that this stuff was disscused before but lacks any desc for it. In fact I'm sure he thinks he even invented the war of the gods. If you notice that he only mentions my name as an after thought about some majik3 mud conversation. Anyway the point of this email is this that many of the precepts Mandor used for the power structure of the gods never were fully debated or decided on. That is why we have this whole debate about the cataclysm. Anyway since this time i have been excluded from any debate or input about the gods their origins their history and the history of the world by Mandor mostly and partialy Yorkaturr. I don't know why. I have asked why but have got no response. Examples of this complete hatred for what ever hook writes by Mandor and Yorka can be found with the origins of the cataclysm here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0568.html You will notice that most of the treads against it are from yorka and mandor. Then we came up with the cataclysm. (well actually i think namhas and harum had been brewing about it for awhile.) Well i did come up with a fairly clean elegent system in order to meet the goals and solve the problems that the cataclysm had. It was completely ignored. And i wrote this before the convention. I'm positive mandor did not mentioned it there but instead evangilized his version that rely on undecided presepts. The post can be found here: https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0824.html Yorkas responce can be found here. mind you this was before the convention https://majik3d-legacy.org/mailinglist/majik-design/0825.html This was also written only a day after the "cataclysm desided" text yet for some reason absolutly unlooked at. joshua 'hook' corning hook@majik3d.org
