IIRC Operant said something to the effect that the sins stuff is supposed to just be a motif among others used during the designing process and shouldn't be subject to overthinking, but then overthinking is kind of this thread's bread and butter so :shrug:

Now Oscar on the other hand is due for a comeback. Because you just can't keep a bad man down.

iirc the alt text for the page where Oscar is pumped full of demon-killing bullets and falling a couple kilometers to the ground from the airship is "eh, he's had worse"

Yaun started a brief trend where every would-be Demiurge would repeteadly announce and make it their whole identity how many people they had/would/could kill, and to everyone who's experienced that time Allison's name would just sound like an extremely groanworthy throwback.

A goon was making a K6BD mod for Dominions 5. IIRC Mammon's and Mottom's factions were mostly completed, but the goon had something come up irl and had to pause work on the mod.

Dominions end game strategies are basically doing poo poo demiurges can do so it makes perfect sense.

Thugs/heroes and supercombatants/monsters do sometimes enact hilarious action movie poo poo. In one game, I had a disgraced crab general who lost all his shrimp soldiers, and later redeemed himself by single-handedly holding off an entire enemy army by beeing too stupid to realize he should run away, and too much of a giant crab man to die to trivial things like people trying to stab him to death. Admittedly, my giant network of assassins, astral duelists, and mind hunters that prevented the other player from bringing in any wizards who could try to kill said crab with magic instead of stabbing probably helped. :v:

So Jantris is the grifter rear end in a top hat who never actually believed in the ideology he was riding to power, and Yaun is the true believing monster that Jantris created.

Yaun makes a pretty good argument for why his old master sucks, and both Maya and Inky continued to exist as not-ghosts after this event, so I'm thinking they largely agree with him.

I mean, Maya very well could just be a Vengeful Spirit at this point since every other Demi-urge has their excuses for being this old but Maya just keeps on through sheer loathing for Incubus.
