Daevinity Worldbuilding Info

[Bluelantern]

I can only assume that Revelation had interesting effects on politics.

More like a hilarious one.

Like the hardest to buy part of Daevinity is the lack of mention on how the global politics collapsed after all politician's dirty secrets came out. Or at least there should be something about mass murder attempts on politicians in general.

I think you're badly generalising from Brazilian politicians.

[Bluelantern]

I am generalizing from how people treat politics and once you give any random person the power to summon something that can kill any politician that you dislike...

[Antares]

The average daeva would object to being utilized for assassinations. Also dirty, sleazy politicians plague every place on Earth. There is a reason that I regard voting an imposition and unpleasant chore.

[pedromvilar]

I think you're underestimating how bad Brazilian politicians in general are.

[Antares]

Wow.

The current Cam/Amenta thread has a few comments on assassination.


Do summoning circles need to have empty interiors, or can you have any design inside as lon as the circle and words are clearly distinguishable? I imagine “clearly distinguishable” is a bit fuzzy if it’s the latter, but no more than “counts as writing even though I have horrid penmanship” is.

Does crossing out a section of writing nullify it, or do you need to actually erase it (if using an erasable medium) or start a new circle (if not)?

[Unbitwise]

Empty interiors: There was a piece of The Mess With The GCP where someone drew a circle around a public space (“It's legal! He hasn't left the circle!”)
