Dolo:
“Me, I think small titles would be cool...the divinities have big stuff,
and it should stay that way, so there's a definate caste system, but I
think it would be sweet if every so often somebody got touched a bit a
recognized for who they were by the higher powers...for good or ill...hell,
it could even be something as simple a somethin' they could put in their
signature box. Nothing big, but a little identity can go a long way.
Though I totally understand how damn busy the folks upstairs have to be,
it'd still be sweet.”
Squid:
“Yoo know, now that I think about it, how about something like the Greek
system of ostracizm? If a certain number of Shmengligs call for a vote in
which all members can write one name, and the turn-out of the vote is more
than a certain number, then whoever's name gets the most votes is
ostracized.
We could call it the Themistoclause.
Naturally Devin gets full veto power. Also there should probably be some
system to prevent people from signing up with multiple accounts and voting
mupltile times. We can figure something out....”
So here we go:
The immortal, infallible, gods

ons&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=12
Like Dolo was saying maybe its time to nominate some Demigods.
Rules:
1. Nominees must be in the top 30, or extremely well known.
2. Nominate, then list what they may possibly reign over.
3. None shall be higher than the Original Pantheon
4. You may nominate more than one person, however, you can nominate the
person only once. Other Shmenglings may nominate the same person someone
else has nominated.
5. Devin and the Pantheon have the powers to: Veto at will, Allow
Ascension, and asign territorial reign. ____________________ co-worker: "Your gay!?"

I hate to say it but i will. no one that gets "nominated" will get any sort
of "privilages" or "responsibilites" on the sites. The original members set
this up. The second wave (myself, shiz, arth etc) help as much as we can
when we can with whatever we are told to do. IF you are mature, online
alllll the time, have useful skills, play well with others, know your own
mind, and can be used for something on this site, well then you already
are.
If you think having a title is "cool" think about what it means. no what it
really means. it means you do a ton of work for no pay, get hated by the
other members (or feared or sucked up to), and have to do alot of dirty
work. by dirty work i mean talking to the people that want to spazz,
calming down 13 year olds, reassuring long standing members, screening new
members, reading all sorts of silliness in your email, and be in constant
contact with others in the pantheon.
Shiz had a small break while computer-less and nursing. Dev gets a few
weeks off a year, mostly taken 2 or 3 days at a time. Meranda_jade hasnt
had a "shemng free" day in like 3 years. I could go on but you get the
point.
Im not saying that voting titles to each other isnt a fun idea. just dont
expect to suddenly be anything that what you are. labels dont mean a thing.

Good point Callei. Perhaps I should clearify this thread is just for shits
and giggles. Nominees who gain Demigod-hood get no real powers, or
responsibleities. They are demigod in name only.
Lets get this infernal thing off the ground.
Dolorosa: A.K.A. Dolo.
Reign- Shaman of stories, and dreams. The vagrant spirit
spreads tells of wonders, glories, and just plain out of the blue ideas.
IamSquid: A.K.A. Squid
Reign- Horrific Lovecraftian Deity. An equal and sometimes
opponent of Dolo not much else is known about this creature from the depths
of shmeng.
Thats two for now.

Not only that, I have to have the most hated job here. When I smack people,
I hate having to do it. People always resent it when you point out that
they're not playing nicely. Be careful of what you wish for. Really. ____________________

Besides, the pantheon started out as a joke. When billgates showed up and
started his shit, Rogue pointed out that we should start a cult of Devin,
and Schizo ran with it. Then Callei started playing with it, and we made
rules for orgies, etc, ad nauseum. It was all kinds of fun. Arthegarn got
in as council because he's witty, a lawyer, and really cool. None of us
took it really seriously. It's sort of a thing about who was around in
those early days. bettie_x was there, but as I recall, she was offered a
pantheon title and declined. I still don't know why. I go around refereeing
because it hurts me to see others treating each other badly... not because
I have a title that says that's what I do. I much more enjoy the silly
spankings I give... like when I punish rogue for having dirty thoughts
about nuns, for example. It should be all in fun.
Actually, come to think of it... what has been suggested has been in fun. I
think it would be fun to see who is recognized and who has personality
enough to be "nominated" for titles. I say, have at it. We'll see who's
made names for themselves here. Who's gotten who's attention, so to
speak...

Billgates! That was his name! Thanks for remembering it, MJ! I couldn't
remember, and I'm not sure how to find those old archives, if they still
exist.
Yeah, I guess as Mother Confessor, this whole website is my confessional,
where people inadvertantly confess their sins, and I try to convince them
to find absolution. What's sad is, they so rarely do, and just continue
sinning the same old way... sigh.
Yeah, and Bettie X was going to be Mistress of Sleepovers, but somehow that
just didn't take. Oh, by the way, Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday
to you!

I'm nominating Mono for High Traveller, out walkin roads no one has laid
down but himself.
Feral gets my nom for Machinegun of Cosmic Justice, mostly cause it sounds

These appear in order of scores on the most active list. By the way Dev I
think the script needs to be run again.
1 callei: already has enough titles but I will nominate myself as back-up
boomstick.
2 Shade: How about Glorious Orator of smut?
3 bettie_x: Most Reverend and Devine Deliverer of Panty Bunches.
4 feralucce: The Right Egregious Bastard of Kindness (just try to work that
one out)
5 Meranda_Jade: already has her titles too, so lets go with left hand of
the sort-of-mighty
6 Domkitten: Cleric of the Great Amalgamator
7 Dolorosa: Most Worthy and Valiant Bearer of Strange News
8 Devin: and to add to his titles, the Quadruple mystery second to last
Wonder of the Wolrd.
9 Psychopixi: Speaker of the Truth and Defender of the Soul
10 Anya: Mystic and Partial Seeing Priestess of the Path
11 Ironboots: On top of King of the Forums, I add Balance Bar for the Path
of Right Good Laughs.
12 Xaoswolf: Prince Elect of the Masses and Greeter of the Dawn
13 Comedian: Honored and Reverend Keeper of the Spellcheck
14 IamSquid : After all his other titles maybe something like The Godly and
Willing Keeper of Underpants.
15 Monolycus: all other titles aside, I think Diviner of Dictionaries and
Holy Works
16 Schizo : again other titles to the side, Keeper of the Devine Ideas
would be nice
17 Merry_Widow : How about Most Hallowed and Holy of Seekers, North West
Division?
18 AloneSoul Disciple of the Holy Order of Flowery Thoughts and Good
Deeds
19 Starlight : Ceasar of the Unfailing Flaming Arrow of Justice
20 MystryssRavynDarque : Most Reverend and Worthy Initiate of Meaningful
Smut
21 tallidaho : Devine Keeper of the Punchline
22 Squire-of-Gothos : Divine and Worthy Follower of the Untrue Way
23 Sticupus : Noble and Reverend Watcher of Other People’s Naughty Bits
24 Cashmere Most High and Glorious Mother of Toys and Pets
25 daria_4 : Devout and Holy Disciple of the Stream of Unconsciousness
26 Britva Most Noble and Holy Guardian of the Flock, Protector of the Slush
Pile
27 dead-cell : Apostle of the Noble way of the Higher Debate
28 KatB : More Holy and Devout Keeper of other People’s Breakfast Cereal
29 LadyCygnet : Most Devine Acolyte of Meaningless Stress and its Holy Uses
30 Arthegarn : again other tiles aside, I think Prophet of the True
Kindness would be fitting.
