*sacrifices 3 chickens and a turkey to the gods*

The good, the bad and the ugly. That about sums it up for our deities.
- Genuinly cares about the people -> good
- Only cares about the sum of our offerings and sacrifices -> bad
- Doesn't care much either way -> ugly

Common folk, like most of you reading this, mean little or nothing to them. Individually I mean. There are, however, some people who are blessed or favored by gods and others who are cursed. A good example of the latter is Necrosis. He was a mortal who managed to gain gods' attention and trust and they made him a semi-god. Like a modern Prometheus, he went on to steal divine secrets and shared them with people. When Siluvaca found out, he stroke him with 5 FPs times 300. Yeah, he was dead alright. Later on Alexis resurrected him, cut his guts out and threw him in a remote islet somewhere in the Pacific.

Gods also condemn those who engage in acts of cloning at a large scale. Examples include indomulties, rubots and Loland zombiemakers. Some of the multy-experts, however, get away with it by performing mass sacrifices of Gs. In general, those who pay their respects to the gods often, receive their blessing.

Demigods are often a whole different story. The good, bad and ugly applies here as well, but for different reasons. They may be good-hearted and helpful to humans, regardless of offerings. Or they may throw some FPs without much thought. Moreover, they may favor humans for subjective reasons, when their mortal half prevails. Or punish people for the same reasons. Bottomline, they are powerful and due to their nature they are likely to abuse this power. Finally, the ugly are those who don't care when they should care. This can drive people nuts.
