You're doing it right, though not listing stats specifically does give me control over what happens with those actions...
Oky, this should be simple!
Ball Weevil: 10,000/10,000 HP, 10,000 ATK Attack Warmup: 2 turns
Since, you know, the Ball Weevil has to roll up the material for its attack option.
The Godmodder snorts at your summon.
The godmodder glares at your contraptions... The Glare is so intimidating that the scan fails! Well, mostly. The only word you got from it was 'dark'.
Zone of Truth Orb created! Anti-Stealing Shield Created!
Focus Factory Created! It idles since it has no stated purpose!
The Godmodder is unphased by the thought of de-feet! Mostly because another pair of feet have appeared.
The Godmodder ducks, causing your attacks to hit each other and for you to re-merge. While disoriented from the forced re-merging, he knocks you away with his ball and chain, embedding you harmlessly into a nearby tree!
THE SHEER POWER OF CONFLICT ITSELF HITS THE GODMODDER! IT TEARS AND RAVAGES THE FIELD AND THREATENS TO CONSUME THE ENTIRE WORLD-
But the Godmodder tanks it. In fact, he absorbs it completely! But absorbing such power doesn't come easily...
1 Damage to the Godmodder! Splashcat gets first blood!
The Godmodder.... Speaks!?
"Thank you for your contribution." He grumbles with genuine gratitude.
That... doesn't sound good. maybe- No no no. I have a job, and I have faith in the Players.
The Godmodder, hyped up on the power of conflict, easily and contemptuously bats away the incoming Door. No, he doesn't jsut do that, but he deflects it, causing it to knock away your Object Duality card! You still get a shield for your troubles, though. Door Shield Created!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Is that all? I must say, good job on the first damage. " He glows with a wicked power. "You won't get the rest so easily."
He then.... rushes straight at Crusher's objects! He grabs the Truth Zone Orb and throws it at the Anti-Stealing shield, shattering them both with one Godmodder Action!
"You think I am like the other godmodder's before me? Such superficial nonsense! I shall show you the error of your ways!"
And then...
Wait, he has more Actions!?
Oh, Just one. Which he uses to call forth one of the more dangerous Fauna of the area! A Wild BearLion has appeared!
[PG] Wild BearLion: 10,000 HP, 5,000 ATK X 2
"Hm. Weaker than I was hoping for." He says casually to himself more than anyone else. "No matter. The rest will come in the following turns."
The WildBearLion Attacks the Ball Weevil and Splashcat, dealing 5,000 Damage to the Ball Weevil and Slightly Wounding Splashcat!
A quick Primer on how Wounds Work (Credit to Torix for transcribing Moniker's rules. Torix, who is running this DefTG game: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/destroy-the-godmodder-alchemiquest.807355/ )
Not Injured - The normal and ideal position for Players to be in.
Slightly Injured - Occurs when somebody has been hit with an attack that goes through. Though there's no effect on their actions yet, this is separate and requires healing.
Moderately Wounded - The Player is injured to the point where it has a serious effect on their actions, lessening the effect of whatever the action does.
Seriously Wounded - The Player is noticeably injured and bleeding. Actions are far less powerful, averaging around half of their normal Player Power.
Critically Wounded - The Player is on their last legs. Actions are close to having almost no power and the average attack is pitiful.
Mortally Wounded - The Player is literally on the deathbed. Any action preformed here will be their last, called a Mortal Action and being immensely powerful. It will also kill them as the last of their power, which was keeping them alive, is used up in the attack. Healing from this condition must be preformed by another Player or an item, and can't come from the Mortally Wounded player.
At any rate the Ball Weevil, looking a bit haggard, preps its attack and rolls up its ball!
[G] The Godmodder: HP - 99/100
[PG] Wild BearLion: 10,000 HP, 5,000 ATK X 2
[AG - Boohoooo!] Ball Weevil: 5,000/10,000 HP, 10,000 ATK, Attack Warmup Status: Attack will go off next turn!
[AG- TheGoldenBoy2188] Focus Factory: 10,000 HP, Can create something?

The Godmodder growls, trying to ignore you but unable to because of the dangerous unpredictability of Players! All Godmodder attacks will focus on you instead of other players!
"You think you knew everything about how Godmodders worked? Not even the creator of Godmodding could know and predict what it would evolve into. But like John Smith surviving having the Devil trying to take his powers away, you can say this was a happy accident in my favor."
You kill and transmute the Wild BearLions into a horrifying mass of flesh! This would become an entity on your side had there not been a slight hiccup from a player below...
Also, the Godmodder laughs, for he doesn't ever need to use the toilet. You call bullshit. But no amount of complaining will change the fact that this godmodder does not ever need to use the toilet, rendering all such attack vectors useless useless useless!
What Sponge?
That aside, you create the Holy Spirit! But since a mere +100 is a bit weak, it can do this 5 times a turn to any number of targets it wishes in such a way that it can either buff a single stat for a single target 5 times, buff 5 stats for a single target once each, or buff one stat apiece from five targets once apiece.
[AG - BlackJesusTheOne] Holy Spirit: 10,000/10,000 HP, +100 Buff X5
You also charge some CP! Players will be expected to track their own CP totals in this particular bout.
OOC: Nice to be back! As for Destroy the Damage Sponge... well, I got a co-GM! I don't know how soon I'll get back to DtDS, but I will be getting back to it sooner rather than later. Once I adjust to running this game, anyway.
You put the poor pile of flesh that used to be the Wild Bearlion out of its misery then eat it, healing yourself from your slightly injured status!
The Godmodder effortlessly catches it, then looks at it in disgust.
"The Sans font family? That's a disrespect to the legacy of all who fought in this war, Player and Godmodder alike!"
He then promptly sets it on fire and uses the fire to burn the rest of the texts.
You charge a CP successfully! Whew, that was a close one. you almost lost it- Nah, I'm just joking, charging CP can't really be interrupted or fail.
Ah, a fine choice of Comic Book and mythic metals! Your renovations adds 20,000 HP to the Factory plus it can now keep anything put inside of it safe from outside attacks!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Godmodder, frustrated at the antics of Dragon of Hope, proceeds to do a combo attack by tripping the Player, kicking them into the air, kicking them into a tree, then throwing their ball and chain so hard the tree disintigrates and the Ball and chain bounces right back into the Godmodder's hand flawlessly. Dragon of Hope is now Moderately Injured!
"You lot need three entities minimum to keep my attacks from reaching you," He mocks scornfully. "Or are you like that one game developer with the difficulty in reaching the number three? Perhaps you should use your Player Powers to correct such an oversight."
This is when the Ball Weevil attacks! It launches its energy ball at him... only for the Godmodder to backahand it back at the Weevil without even looking in its direction! Ball Weevil slain!
And then things get worse! Another Wild Bearlion shows up, and now it has two Cyborg Scorpions accompanying it! However, they seem to have used their Actions for this turn to get here, so you have a small reprieve!
One that won't be filled with comfort, for the Godmodder transmutes his Ball and Chain into a Magical Staff and begins to charge up a spell!
"Right. it seems even beginning on the offensive is not enough. Very Well. Let's give you some real problems to deal with."
[G] The Godmodder: HP - 99/100
-THE Asshole
[PG] Wild BearLion: 10,000 HP, 5,000 ATK X 2
-The worst qualities of a Lion and a Bear no matter how you slice it. Can attack twice in one turn too.
[PG] Cyborg Scorpions: 10,000/10,000 HP X 2, 5,000 ATK X 2
[AG - BlackJesusTheOne] Holy Spirit: 10,000/10,000 HP, +100 Buff X 5
[AG- TheGoldenBoy2188] Focus Factory: 25,000 HP, Can create something?, Will bodyguard anything inside!

Fight Post 3
You don't damage the Godmodder, but you do damage the Spell's integrity by 5%! Spell integrity will determine how the spell plays out!
Tofu Shield Summoned! Wild Bearlion slain!
You create your powerful and stealable Tommy Keys weapon! Due to a lack of Bearlions, though, you shoot and kill one of the Cyborg Scorpions instead!
You manage to steal the energy, but it's immediately used up to prevent you from taking more wounds due to the Godmodder's energy immolating your finger!
Yikes. Looks like the energy glowing from the Godmodder's armor is no joke.
You do all of this, only to find that Self Upgrades aren't exactly a thing in this setting due to player Powers being able to give you anything or any change you need on the fly, at the cost of it being either nerfed/buffed or turned into shenanigans/cosmetic changes.
So this ends up charging 3 CP for later use instead.
"Not interested."
You feel your body freeze solid at the rejection! This means nothing mechanically since it's just a counter.
Bill Nye Dramatically comes in! A surge of Player power means that he doesn't have to run on his normal energy supply until/unless the Player Powers fail or die out for some reason. 3 CP charged!
OOC: It wasn't too long at all! I just want to make sure that Longposting is a treat and not the norm.
"Oh why me," The Godmodder says in mild horror. "Uh. Any lack of sleep is not part of my scheme necessarily. Side effect of the fact that the most dangerous enemy to ever exist has returned, maybe, but nothing I did directly."
Defensive mouth gesture thing is a go?
...I uh. Even if I wanted to accept the Runic Structure, I kinda can't. Just uh. It's CP now. Take the CP refund.
You also charge a CP and bring up the Factions system! Oh boy. I'll uh, explain later.
(please don't eat me)
"Well that guy is intimidating." I stated, looking at the Godmodder, and that WildBearLion, though that's a very...direct name for such a creature.
Hmm, the whole point of this is to defeat that guy, but do I really want to involve myself in that?
Can I even involve myself?
Wait, do I care? I mean, dude's evil, so it's kind of a moral obligation to at least try to beat him into a red pulp, but I don't think I can even do that right now.
Might be wise to just build up my power for the forseseeable future...
Preferably by having some meatshields between me and the Godmodder.
A lot of meatshields to be honest.
Bio-Energy surged through me with a thought, flesh splitting open along my arms, revealing twitching crimson muscles underneath, green electricity running through them as things started to worm out.
Around two feet in length, with a maggot like body combined with that of an eel and pirahna, dozens,of needle like teeth, glowing green eyes with a purple carapace shell over red flesh.
They squirmed onto the ground, once a few had been created, my tears closed seamlessly, leaving no scars.
They whipped their heads around, hissing softly, before with a command, they began looking for something to consume.
The Swarm had arrived.
________
Actions: I create a Tyranid Ripper Swarm, with One Action in Health, One Action in Attack, and One for a Special that let's them gather CP by eating anything.
Picture of aRipper.
...oh wow I'm literally incapable of it and I still want to hurl.
5 Tyranid Rippers Summoned! Their CP conversion thing, for the record, would normally cost more, but the horror aesthetic is enough for reality to fudge the numbers and give it to them anyway.
[AG - Jaggerain] Tyranid Ripper: 2,000/2,000 HP X 5, 500 ATK X 5, Gather 1 CP per six turn whenever they eat something.
Since you only spent one CP on Yajiorobe and don't need to mind control your own entities, I'll say that Action 2 goes towards Yajirobe's Attack stat.
Since crying over the corpse of your fallen Entitiy, sad as it is, counts as a Free Action, you get that Action back as 1 CP.
You summon the ultra powerful Warframe! It has 10,000 HP and a whopping 10,000 ATK!
Unfortunately, since there's no Tenno to pilot it, the Warframe promptly falls over, motionless.
You create three Zergling Spawners! Once every 5 turns, they'll summon 1 CP worth of Cannon Fodder Zergling!
[AG - Troglodyte] Zergling Spawner: 5,000/5,000 HP, Summon (1 CP Cannon Fodder Zergling) - Warmup Time: 5 turns
You might want to invest some Actions in upgrading them.
Wait what the heck- What is this-
...
I'm going to have to look into some things after this post...
To address the parts I have to directly...
Well, your little announcement and arrival didn't actually require any Actions to expend, so you gain 1 CP.
You manage to kill the remaining Cyborg Scorpion with style! In fact, numerically you only needed one CP to kill it, so I'll just use that other CP invested to flag the Magnetic Field Rejector Pistol as an item in your inventory.
....Wait, you know Alastair!? Where is he!? He's supposed to be here by now helping the others! He has a loredump or two to deliver! Ugh. He must have gone to the wrong fight by mistake. No matter. The Lore Dump wouldn't even be dramatically appropriate now or useful besides anyway. I'll contact him later on.
You call upon Ultimo Durana! The Sword hums appreciatively in your hands. Since I've read the stuff from the previous war against Joh, I'll not it in your inventory with a CP count next to it.
Interesting. Alright. The Higher Max Health won't be as high as it could be, though, due to the normal CP cost for the Resource gathering gimmick.
[AG - Gnich] Canoptek Scarab: 500/15,000 HP, 2,500 ATK, Gathers 1 Resource per turn (Can't use for itself, is not CP)
Since the designation of the rooms didn't matter so much-
....I'm not gonna lie, your resulting entities would be so weak that they'd instapoof. So instead....
1 Magic Research Staff Group! 1 Technology Research Staff Group! 1 Biology Research Staff Group! Each group will have 5,000 HP and will produce 1 unit of research every six turns unless they're upgraded. Their specialties aren't counted due to inter-group strife, intra-group strife, and just bad communication. But they'll get their jobs done, since they're professionals, after all!
You create a Time Orb-
CRACK!
Holy toledo! That was fast! No, wait, it wasn't fast. It just stopped time!
You get the feeling that time is far too delicate right now to casually toss around Time Orbs, and that a friendly ally did this as a warning. You get 1 CP instead.
Since the Godmodder isn't fencing you, you go for the instant death blow! however wait- he DOES have posture! As it turns out, his Posture is coming from his summoning stance and the fact that at all times the Godmodder is engaged in combat. Especially when he isn't! Since the Time Orb was destroyed, Dio never gets bribed and as such doesn't come in to aid you. Attack blocked! His spell's integrity does at least take another 5%, though you feel that's only because the Godmodder felt so dismissive of your efforts that it actually distracted him.
"Casual."
You charge another CP.
You charge 3 CP!
...well this is just random.
*Canned laughtrack plays*
...I'm so lonely.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the Godmodder focused on his magic Spell, the AG forces launch an attack! However, the Godmodder, deciding to preserve his HP, allows his spellwork to take the brunt of the blow! Their combined efforts amount to another 7% spell integrity loss!
But it's no use! The Spell goes off! And the spell is...
"Mass Mind Control. What, you thought I was just going to let you build up your army so easily? Thanks for the units, suckers!"
However, the drop in integrity allows two of your units to escape the spell - a Tyranid and a Zergling Spawner! They don't exactly have good odds though...
Looks like you've got two options: Either try and undo the Godmodder's Mind Control Spell on your entities, or kill them before they can kill you! Since they've already attacked, you've got a brief window of opportunity before the Godmodder can use them!
Additionally, you hear some creatures roaring in the distance. It seems the next wave of wild monsters will be arriving soon! Take that into consideration...
Also, I now need to explain a few things!
Alignment System: I presume you've noticed the colored tags in front of the Entities. Essentially, they're set up so that their color and the first part of the tag shows which side they're serving, and the second part of the tag shows which Player created it if applicable in the event of something like, say Mind Control.
As for the Alignments themselves, there's 3 you need to concern yourself with: PG, AG, and N.
PG is Pro-Godmodder. This mostly applies to the Godmodder's minions due to how miserable these creeps are.
AG is Anti-Godmodder. Players are this alignment by default until their actions or declarations state otherwise.
N is Neutral. These Players or beings are not bound by any sort of Loyalty to either side. if they do show favoritism, the Neutralladder will show which way they lean, whether it's AG leaning or PG leaning.
Free Actions: Not everything requires use of your Actions. Some things just can be done with few to no consequences. Talking is always a free action - unless it's part of a shenanigan. Commanding Entities - telling them to defend, to attack a specific target, or to use a special ability - is also a Free Action. Rule of Thumb is if it's something that can be classified as Roleplaying on a Forum Game and it has no mechanical effect, it's probably a free action.
There. Now if you'll excuse me... I need to have a conversation or two.

Fight Post 4
Player Responses:
OldGreatsword.EXE created! Hm. Never exactly thought about how to balance items, other than them being stealable...
You make some Soy Sauce! It's super effective against Tofu based beings!
The landing wasn't even a 4/10 - you landed on your face! But the double-tap went through. 1 Point of damage tot he Godmodder!
The Godmodder is unaffected by the Flashbang thanks to his sense of sight not requiring eyeballs! He reaches over his own shoulder to catch the Rifle, yanks it from Victor's grip, and then slams an elbow into his gut. As Victor staggers, he swings the Rifle like a bat, sending both the man and his own weapon flying. He lands, his bruises only being superficial.
You charge a CP.
Mind Control weakened for all Entities! All Mind Control attempts will be easier to break!
CP charged.
Twerkey and Butterfree summoned! You don't need to use a full Action to command your entities, though, so it goes towards giving them actual attack stats. (What's with the attack values anyway? Is that how much attack they want them to have? But it's so low...)
[AG - Boohoooo!] Twerkey: 10,000/10,000 HP, 1,250 ATK
[AG - Boohoooo!] Butterfree: 10,000/10,000 HP, 1,250 ATK
In the distance, two creatures suffer massive amounts of damage! It seems the reinforcements will be hurt upon arrival!
Good point. Tenno Summoned! Warframe reobtained!
Regen Shield made! It'll block 25% of one attack per turn.
Your mind control attempt doesn't quite take, but.... Yajirobe's Mind Control is weakened even further as a result!
The Godmodder promptly smashes the thing with his Ball and Chain, turning it into a fine paste. He then sets both the paste and the Ball and Chain on fire, uses a vacuum cleaner to gather the ashes, then put the ashes into a forge where it's all melted down into, oddly, a Brick of Violet Crystal. He then throws it into your face and walks off the sight, muttering something about a 'zero' the entire time.
You then create the Bank and the Teller with your CP, including the CP refunded to you after the summon was denied! However for balance purposes only the +1 CP generation works once every 5 turns per person. Thankfully, you can store your own Cp here too, if you wish!
You then feel an unsettling feeling, like CP and Actions being associated with a Bank has some sort of sordid history...
Ha! I'm in a plane they can't possibly reach- OH GOD THEY'RE RIGHT OUTSIDE! UNDO! UNDO! MIND CONTROL UNDONE! LITTLE BLUB THING REMOVED!
...Wait, that was a player induced hallucination! Dangit! I can't believe I fell for it! I mean, Minecraft Avatars, having such power? Only the deranged mind of a player would ever think of that. Still, the action worked as intended.
Overmind and Skitter Summoned with similar stats! They attempt to do mass mind control, but they on;y succeed in weakening the Godmodder's influence by spreading their loyalties out too many directions! It seems that Mind Control in general and Mass Mind Control works best on entities created by your own power! Still, Mind Control Weakened! Tyranid Rippers confused and loyalties shaken!
The Godmodder scoffs. "If it wasn't obvious, we aren't playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Too Many Times. Therefore, I'm not beholden to its rules and can use any rules I like, such as my recently published 'Godmodder takes no Damage' game. Which I thought I was obvious considering the autoblock, but clearly some people don't have my mental faculties. Additionally, yes, I called you a casual - and anyone serious about being engaged in combat at all times could see your efforts, type casual, and still block. If they can't then that's their own fault."
...he totally just used the Ritual to block you, then gave you dismissive impressions to cover it up.
"Bitch, what did you say?"
shuttingup
...wait seriously?
...oh shit, right. It's a play on meatshield. This is valid. Tofu Shield added to the field!
The power of logic is far too much for mere Godmodder magic! However, it immediately falls back under Godmodder control due to all of the Researchers, who are effectively in charge of the Focus Factory, being unanimously PG! Alas, Territory contest rules make such things tricky.
The Godmodder tries to invoke the same BS he did with the Sekiero argument, but it's too late! The Zerling Spawners have already drank the milk and returned to being AG, immediately going back to their owner's control since it wasn't specified to got to your control!
AG Door Trap Set!
The Godmodder... well, I think he blinks. Hard to tell under the helmet.
"Wait a second. The text is wrong and the spelling is atrocious but..." He recoils. "A JOEbob! I should have known! You're trying to recreate the Entity Stasis Machine aren't you? Well unfortunately for you, that's no longer possible - I spent most of my time before the fight building up the charge needed to make such things impossible to recreate as long as I live!"
You then.... erm.
"He's setting up a Snowballing Runework with a hidden purpose. He just happened to do so by exploding a Teno - the CaCNW version of the Tenno. "
Right! I knew that!
...You get a Big Rock, but it turns out to be a charged CP instead. For some reason it's a lovely shade of Violet.
You charge another 3 CP! You should probably keep track of how much CP you'll charge yourself. I suggest the following format for maximum meme -
That-Random-Guy: 6 CP
I heard it made a One Punch Man Character a Player brought into an exalted Godking! Sadly, even Exalted Godkings still kinda explode when punched by a certain Caped Baldy.
Another moment of silence for the glorious overlord's loss.
...
Okay, moment over.
You create an Anti-Mind Control Machine but the Godmodder, bored from the lack of things sent his way, pulls out an Anti-Mind Cotnrol Null Field device! And by that I mean another Ball and Chain. It crashes atop all of your hard, precious work. Somewhere, a baby cries. The Godmodder uses its tears to fill a mug labled '#1AssholeMeanie Face' and sips from it. He finds it delicious.
You summon a Medigun and manage to heal Dragon of Hope to 'Slightly Injured' status before the Godmodder plugs a random Spy's head into the front end of the Medigun, causing it to explode and the Spy to die from HP rollover.
You don't specify what you summon, since you explicitely said 'I summon *and* antimedigun', and so the Godmodder helpfully summons a 'Suicide Anti-Antimedigun unit'. It bodyblocks the Godmodder long enough to put up an 'Anti-Health Drain Spell', preventing the AntiMedigun from ever working on the Godmodder. however, it'll work on other enemies just fine, so I guess it wasn't a total loss.
Unlike the Necromancer. It just fucking explodes.
"Ah, I guess I forgot to mention - the thing I made that is preventing the JOEbobs from making another Eternity Stasis Machine is a "Curse of Perma-death"! You can't bring entities back from the dead and anything that can do so explodes upon creation. The cost to keep Players from coming back was more than the charge cap allowed, but considering not even the veterans of the previous war could escape back to the land of the living on their own, I'm not too worried."
Well, considering you had no way of knowing, the CP the Necromancer was supposed to have goes to making the Antimedigun better. And the CP is made from the explosion the Necromancer made, so it's environmentally friendly through recycling!
A trading Stall takes the place of the Doorway to the Final Wall! You are almost certain this is not up to code, and it is immediately labeled as a Black Market Stall! And then you realize - the stall isn't stocked! Not to worry though - the Godmodder takes care of that for you! Granted, because the stall is now filled entirely with Godmodder memorabilia, all proceeds will go to the Godmodder until Players can stock their own items in themselves! Because this is technically a Neutral entity, the Black Market Stall is swiftly labeled a s a PG-Leaning Entity! Never mind that it's actually a structure and not a being capable of independent thought or motion.
Since your Entities are free from the Mind Control thanks to the efforts of your teammates, your CP is focused on Enhancing the Zergling Spawners! The Spawn time is now once every 5 turns! ... this might take a few more turns to get up to code on pure CP alone.
In a stunning display of protective loyalty, you take back the Tyranid Rippers and bolster their mental defenses! Then you understandably declare yourself a neutral party. Good luck, youfilthy fellow Neutral!
You proceed to do a focused Action, but it's redirected by another Player later on!
Hi. Hope you're doing well! Make sure to keep track of your CP! 3 CP charged!
...*sniff sniff*.
Is this a Murphy's Law reference I'm smelling? Milo Murphy, to be specific.
Anyway CP charged! Make sure to keep track of it!
You redirect the Player Tenno's attack! It'll hit the next enemy to enter the field!
The Holy Spirit has already been reconverted - ironic - so you instead charge 2 CP instead of one! They can still be halo shaped if you wish though.
"...how rude! I am not fat at all!"
How do we know that though.... tubby.
"...I hate every living being here with a passion!"
Scarab reobtained! 1 CP charged!
Well, the Godmodder's Magic, thoguh spread 'thin', is still amped by the fact that it's approximately 87% Godmodding energy, which is hardy and makes what few, demonically aligned magics in the spell even hardier! You do, however, manage to free the Magic research group long enough for them to put up the Bounded Field! It'll act the same as the Regen Shield - 25% attack reduction for one attack once a round.
You then charge a CP.
You look on Tinder to find.... that it was blank? It was just made! You look up to see the Godmodder tapping away at a smart phone in one hand while the other twirls the Ball and chain around effortlessly on one finger. He pauses, then notices your stare. He growls and types something else. One refresh later and you find his Tinder Profile has been set to Private - Friends only! Because that's totally how Tinder works!
3 CP charged!
A good strategy, but the only enemies left to un-hypnotize are the Researchers inside of the Focus Factory, And thus don't get wet-
Oh wait. There's Yajirobe. Well, it's not quite enough to break the spell, but it's enough to set him up for what comes next.
===================================================================================================================
EoTB (End of Turn Battle):
First things first- Everyone let's Yajirobe fall for the AG reconversion trap. His Action is wasted, but he's AG again. It seems that most of the army has been reconverted back to your side! Nice!
The fate of the Factory is not so good, though. In a single Action, the Godmodder sovles all of the problems remaining in the two groups he has under his control - the inter-group conflict, the intra-group conflict, the communications problems - he even fixes the coffee Maker to prevent it from ever needing to be clean! All in one Seminar to boot! They've not only been improved, but they're even more under the Godmodder's thrall AND the AG faction huddled up in the Magic labs is tempted to switch sides.... WILLINGLY! TheGoldenBoy2188 will need to pull out all the stops to retake it from the Godmodder! The Factory, meanwhile, produces two Research Points for the Godmodder, which he promptly pockets for later use.
Meanwhile, the Godmodder uses his second Action to take out his cell phone. In one brisk phone call, armed forces drop in and surround the CP Bank! They're guarding the FBI, who are very certain this is highly illegal Action laundering! The Godmodder is currently wearing an electron-perfectly placed nametag saying 'Hello I'm: Not the Godmodder', so the FBI are working with him willingly because of his impenetrable disguise! And on top of this, they're Eyeing the Overmind and Skitter like a money starved office worker eyes a promotion...
The AG forces hesitate - the Only PG Forces here is the Focus Factory and it's Mind Controlled Researchers! However fortunately- or unfortunately, that soon changes!
Two large beasts, a bit ragged from TheQuietWatcher's fractalbomb-
BLAM!
- Are hit by the attack redirected thanks to Spicy Serious's foresight! They're now even more damaged!
However that's little comfort when what faces you are an Amboniable Snowball-ling and a Ninja Tyrannosaurus Rex!
"Ah, that's more like it. Players always did come up with the more crazy things, and they've had ten years to breed and produce offspring!"
You do get the feeling that more enemies were supposed to show up, but The Quiet Watcher's Bomb must have killed them when they were crossing the Hill. At any rate, a fight breaks out! The Holy Spirit Buffs the Entity Warframe with its five Buffs, allowing it to do combat with and damage the Ninja Tyrannosaurus Rex in epic, fast paced showdowns!! The rest focus fire on the Ambominable Snowbaling, dealing another 10,000 damage to it!
However, the Ninja Tyrannosaurus and Abominable Snowball-ling are no slouches. The ninja Tyrannosaurus uses a ninjutsu to disguise itself among the trees, giving it a dodge factor of 50% for three turns! Meanwhile, the Snowballing roars and gets a little buffer, causing it to hit with a whopping 27,500 damage to the Twerky, ending its reign of Turkeybutt terror!
The Zerglings look at the snowballing hungrily and decide they're having snowcones for an early dessert, dealing another 2,500 damage to it!
The Godmodder's Black Market Stall sales gives him his cut of 1 GCP (Godmodder CP, superior product to Player CP, please do not steal!), which he also Pockets for later use!
You also hear a small rumbling. It seems whatever the Godmodder did the first turn will just keep drawing in monsters from all over the Final Wall until it's either stopped, or until the Final Wall is clean of horrific Godmodder and Player Entity Offspring!

OldGreatsword.EXE created! Hm. Never exactly thought about how to balance items, other than them being stealable...
You make some Soy Sauce! It's super effective against Tofu based beings!
The landing wasn't even a 4/10 - you landed on your face! But the double-tap went through. 1 Point of damage tot he Godmodder!
The Godmodder is unaffected by the Flashbang thanks to his sense of sight not requiring eyeballs! He reaches over his own shoulder to catch the Rifle, yanks it from Victor's grip, and then slams an elbow into his gut. As Victor staggers, he swings the Rifle like a bat, sending both the man and his own weapon flying. He lands, his bruises only being superficial.
You charge a CP.
Mind Control weakened for all Entities! All Mind Control attempts will be easier to break!
CP charged.
Twerkey and Butterfree summoned! You don't need to use a full Action to command your entities, though, so it goes towards giving them actual attack stats. (What's with the attack values anyway? Is that how much attack they want them to have? But it's so low...)
[AG - Boohoooo!] Twerkey: 10,000/10,000 HP, 1,250 ATK
[AG - Boohoooo!] Butterfree: 10,000/10,000 HP, 1,250 ATK
In the distance, two creatures suffer massive amounts of damage! It seems the reinforcements will be hurt upon arrival!
Good point. Tenno Summoned! Warframe reobtained!
Regen Shield made! It'll block 25% of one attack per turn.
Your mind control attempt doesn't quite take, but.... Yajirobe's Mind Control is weakened even further as a result!
The Godmodder promptly smashes the thing with his Ball and Chain, turning it into a fine paste. He then sets both the paste and the Ball and Chain on fire, uses a vacuum cleaner to gather the ashes, then put the ashes into a forge where it's all melted down into, oddly, a Brick of Violet Crystal. He then throws it into your face and walks off the sight, muttering something about a 'zero' the entire time.
You then create the Bank and the Teller with your CP, including the CP refunded to you after the summon was denied! However for balance purposes only the +1 CP generation works once every 5 turns per person. Thankfully, you can store your own Cp here too, if you wish!
You then feel an unsettling feeling, like CP and Actions being associated with a Bank has some sort of sordid history...
Ha! I'm in a plane they can't possibly reach- OH GOD THEY'RE RIGHT OUTSIDE! UNDO! UNDO! MIND CONTROL UNDONE! LITTLE BLUB THING REMOVED!
...Wait, that was a player induced hallucination! Dangit! I can't believe I fell for it! I mean, Minecraft Avatars, having such power? Only the deranged mind of a player would ever think of that. Still, the action worked as intended.
Overmind and Skitter Summoned with similar stats! They attempt to do mass mind control, but they on;y succeed in weakening the Godmodder's influence by spreading their loyalties out too many directions! It seems that Mind Control in general and Mass Mind Control works best on entities created by your own power! Still, Mind Control Weakened! Tyranid Rippers confused and loyalties shaken!
The Godmodder scoffs. "If it wasn't obvious, we aren't playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Too Many Times. Therefore, I'm not beholden to its rules and can use any rules I like, such as my recently published 'Godmodder takes no Damage' game. Which I thought I was obvious considering the autoblock, but clearly some people don't have my mental faculties. Additionally, yes, I called you a casual - and anyone serious about being engaged in combat at all times could see your efforts, type casual, and still block. If they can't then that's their own fault."
...he totally just used the Ritual to block you, then gave you dismissive impressions to cover it up.
"Bitch, what did you say?"
shuttingup
...wait seriously?
...oh shit, right. It's a play on meatshield. This is valid. Tofu Shield added to the field!
The power of logic is far too much for mere Godmodder magic! However, it immediately falls back under Godmodder control due to all of the Researchers, who are effectively in charge of the Focus Factory, being unanimously PG! Alas, Territory contest rules make such things tricky.
The Godmodder tries to invoke the same BS he did with the Sekiero argument, but it's too late! The Zerling Spawners have already drank the milk and returned to being AG, immediately going back to their owner's control since it wasn't specified to got to your control!
AG Door Trap Set!
The Godmodder... well, I think he blinks. Hard to tell under the helmet.
"Wait a second. The text is wrong and the spelling is atrocious but..." He recoils. "A JOEbob! I should have known! You're trying to recreate the Entity Stasis Machine aren't you? Well unfortunately for you, that's no longer possible - I spent most of my time before the fight building up the charge needed to make such things impossible to recreate as long as I live!"
You then.... erm.
"He's setting up a Snowballing Runework with a hidden purpose. He just happened to do so by exploding a Teno - the CaCNW version of the Tenno. "
Right! I knew that!
...You get a Big Rock, but it turns out to be a charged CP instead. For some reason it's a lovely shade of Violet.
You charge another 3 CP! You should probably keep track of how much CP you'll charge yourself. I suggest the following format for maximum meme -
That-Random-Guy: 6 CP
I heard it made a One Punch Man Character a Player brought into an exalted Godking! Sadly, even Exalted Godkings still kinda explode when punched by a certain Caped Baldy.
Another moment of silence for the glorious overlord's loss.
...
Okay, moment over.
You create an Anti-Mind Control Machine but the Godmodder, bored from the lack of things sent his way, pulls out an Anti-Mind Cotnrol Null Field device! And by that I mean another Ball and Chain. It crashes atop all of your hard, precious work. Somewhere, a baby cries. The Godmodder uses its tears to fill a mug labled '#1
You summon a Medigun and manage to heal Dragon of Hope to 'Slightly Injured' status before the Godmodder plugs a random Spy's head into the front end of the Medigun, causing it to explode and the Spy to die from HP rollover.
You don't specify what you summon, since you explicitely said 'I summon *and* antimedigun', and so the Godmodder helpfully summons a 'Suicide Anti-Antimedigun unit'. It bodyblocks the Godmodder long enough to put up an 'Anti-Health Drain Spell', preventing the AntiMedigun from ever working on the Godmodder. however, it'll work on other enemies just fine, so I guess it wasn't a total loss.
Unlike the Necromancer. It just fucking explodes.
"Ah, I guess I forgot to mention - the thing I made that is preventing the JOEbobs from making another Eternity Stasis Machine is a "Curse of Perma-death"! You can't bring entities back from the dead and anything that can do so explodes upon creation. The cost to keep Players from coming back was more than the charge cap allowed, but considering not even the veterans of the previous war could escape back to the land of the living on their own, I'm not too worried."
Well, considering you had no way of knowing, the CP the Necromancer was supposed to have goes to making the Antimedigun better. And the CP is made from the explosion the Necromancer made, so it's environmentally friendly through recycling!
A trading Stall takes the place of the Doorway to the Final Wall! You are almost certain this is not up to code, and it is immediately labeled as a Black Market Stall! And then you realize - the stall isn't stocked! Not to worry though - the Godmodder takes care of that for you! Granted, because the stall is now filled entirely with Godmodder memorabilia, all proceeds will go to the Godmodder until Players can stock their own items in themselves! Because this is technically a Neutral entity, the Black Market Stall is swiftly labeled a s a PG-Leaning Entity! Never mind that it's actually a structure and not a being capable of independent thought or motion.
Since your Entities are free from the Mind Control thanks to the efforts of your teammates, your CP is focused on Enhancing the Zergling Spawners! The Spawn time is now once every 5 turns! ... this might take a few more turns to get up to code on pure CP alone.
In a stunning display of protective loyalty, you take back the Tyranid Rippers and bolster their mental defenses! Then you understandably declare yourself a neutral party. Good luck, you
A small ship emerges from the clouds above and makes its way downwards. Those who have played Warframe may recognize it as a Liset, the stealthy landing-craft of choice for the Tenno. The ship slows, then hovers about 30 meters above the ground. As it does, a cylindrical structure on the bottom slides open, revealing a green Warframe and a small yellow robot ready to drop.
I quickly detach myself from the Liset and dive down to the planet below, landing with grace and ease practiced through hundreds of missions. Taxon follows me down, floating above my head as he always does. The hatch on the Liset closes, and the vessel flies off to return to my Orbiter. As I stand up, I receive a message, the sender's visage appearing on the left side of my field of vision.
LOTUS: Tenno, your mission is to find this so-called "Godmodder" and put an end to him.
LOTUS: This will not be easy. Godmodders are dangerous opponents. You will need help from the "Anti-Godmodders" to defeat him.
LOTUS: Good hunting, Tenno.
Her face disappears as quickly as it came, but in its place another "face" appears, if you can call it a face. Cephalons don't tend to present themselves as anything more than shapes, after all.
ORDIS: Operator, this seems- Mindnumbingly stupid- unwise.
ORDIS: We know nothing about this "Godmodder" or even about this planet!
ORDIS: Who knows what kind of- Nightmarish freaks- terrors could reside here?!
I sigh, or at least my Warframe makes a motion indicating a sigh. It has no mouth, you see.
MAG: Ordis, it's fine.
MAG: Whatever this guy is, he can't be any worse than the Sentients.
MAG: We can handle him, don't worry.
TAXON: >OPERATOR<
TAXON: >SYSTEM CHECKS COMPLETE<
TAXON: >ZENITH ASSAULT RIFLE, ONLINE<
TAXON: >GAMMACOR LASER, ONLINE<
TAXON: >BROKEN SCEPTER, ONLINE<
ORDIS: You imbecilic cross- Taxon, why would a stick need to be online?
TAXON: >CEPHALON ORDIS<
TAXON: >YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO CAREFUL THESE DAYS<
MAG: Enough, you two!
MAG: Let's just get a move-on and see what this Godmodder guy is all about.
MAG: And Ordis?
MAG: Keep the others from getting too antsy, maybe take them on a trip around the world or something if they get bored.
MAG: Also, let me know when Equinox is finished.
ORDIS: Absolutely, Operator. Stay safe.
With that, the line closes, and I can get to work.
>FOCUS: Readying my Zenith rifle, I scope out the situation.
MAG: By the Lotus, what is happening here?
Of note is the Warframe lying limp on the ground (Another Tenno?), the fat man with a sword fighting a dinosaur and a duck, and...
Oh what the hell, just pick a target and go. I take aim at what my HUD tells me is called a "Holy Spirit" and open fire, unleashing the entirety of the gun's 90-round clip into the... thing.
You proceed to do a focused Action, but it's redirected by another Player later on!
Hi. Hope you're doing well! Make sure to keep track of your CP! 3 CP charged!

Well, the Godmodder's Magic, thoguh spread 'thin', is still amped by the fact that it's approximately 87% Godmodding energy, which is hardy and makes what few, demonically aligned magics in the spell even hardier! You do, however, manage to free the Magic research group long enough for them to put up the Bounded Field! It'll act the same as the Regen Shield - 25% attack reduction for one attack once a round.

WILLINGLY! TheGoldenBoy2188 will need to pull out all the stops to retake it from the Godmodder! The Factory, meanwhile, produces two Research Points for the Godmodder, which he promptly pockets for later use.
Meanwhile, the Godmodder uses his second Action to take out his cell phone. In one brisk phone call, armed forces drop in and surround the CP Bank!

Vials? Oh! You made the vials for D.I.G.I.! Right, thank you! I wonder what you'll do with this batch....
3 CP charged!
: | I-
"You wish to form an alliance?" The Godmodder grumbles in thought. "That is... hmm... Do not dismiss me so quickly. Allow me to think on this matter."
Oh no.
3 CP charged....
Frog of Truth created at 15,000 HP! A noble lineage of spirit animals who were once called upon by the gods themselves to serve as allies and judges before their demise at the hands of Verraad. Surely he will be of great aid in this encounter!
RNGesus... oh - the alter ego of Jesus. I....
No one knows where He is. He disappeared at around the same time as God did when Verraad killed him. Some fear that Jesus has died too, alongside the Holy Spirit of God. Some say they've fallen into a deep slumber and were hidden by their allies... or their enemies. Others still that they're overcome with a profound sadness and have hidden themselves away to mourn.
No matter the case, they're not here now. Like it has been for the past 10 years - there are no more gods to pray to. Capital or lower case 'G'.
Still, your prayer is sent. If Jesus were to make a return, I'm sure it would be answered then. But now...
Now you are fully at the mercy of Loot Crates.
Inside is...
A 50% off Coupon. For perfume.
I mean, it COULD be useful. Maybe. Can it?
You use your 3 Actions to make an Ether Spring! I'm going ot have to research Ether Gears, but this seems balanced enough. Also, yes, talking to people, even through telepathy, is a free action! Feel free to talk to.... um....
....First, why do people think Alastair Dragovich, player in the Verraad War and Hero of Trial 4, is an Arbiter? I get the feeling that I'm missing some context.
Also.
Who are you talking to?
Wait shit, you've got bigger problems! The FBI are surrounding you, weapons raised! It seems the Bank Teller had been nervously glancing at you too much and because you tried to make a deposit, they're going to try and capture you and bring you in for questioning! A few sneer at you for taking a dip in what appears to be to them hot springs during this very serious matter, so they're not going to go easy on you, either!
The Godmodder looks downright uncomfortable. "Well, you sure are as unsettling as a JOEbob. Or JObob for that matter."
He's unapologetic, and the size of the mouth has pissoff the Godmodder enough that he flash-steps behind you, pushes on the mouth fromt he other side, and causes it to fold up into itself teeth first. Since this is seen as an attack, the automatic defense kicks in and the mouth promtly eats itself! Soon, there's no mouth whatsoever on the Brown Man, because physics is a suggestion and the Godmodder has elected to ignore it.
You've turned the CP rock into a more efficient CP Statue! It's.... it's a thing.
....wait a second - ANALYSIS!
What the hell is that thing? Grey-teal? Not that familiar brand of Light-Blue, but...
I don't like this... going to keep track of it in the Brown Man's inventory until I can figure out what it is.
The Godmodder tries to counter, but if he tries to steal or destroy it, the FBI could catch on and then the stall itself would be taken down! Granted the Godmodder COULD kill the FBI if they become a nuisance. ....Why hasn't he?
...Why is the Godmodder radiating pure smile energy?
At any rate, the Black Market Trading Stall is now properly Neutral again!
You focus summon EXE Knight! The Greatsword.EXE become his attack stat and it's boosted by 2 CP, while only 1 CP gets added to his HP pool.
Instead of generic research, they'll be focusing on Anti-Mind Control Spells, a great boon...
You begin constructing a Plasma canon, only to discover....
...there's no equipment in here! There's space for it, but nothing actually is in here! All of that CP must have gone itno HP instead. Still, the Plasma Cannon requires certain manufacturing equipment, so you use your 3 Actions to outfit the factory. Focus Factory is now the Plasma Cannon Factory! It'll boost any Actions to make a Plasma Cannon by 3, any attempts at making Plasma by 2, and any attempts at making cannons by 1!
However, you magic researchers aren't any less tempted to defect...
Nice one. Though the idea of it being summer feels weird, this is fair cop since it's July.
....Why did the phrase 'July in Christmas' come to mind?
Abominable Snowball-ling will now take 3,000 Damage a turn! Starting this exact second!
"FREEZE! Do you have associations with this man?"
Oh no. The FBI have surrounded you too for associating with BlackJesustheOne!
This feels memetically appropriate. Keep up the good work!
Omnipotence? Okay, no seriously who are you talking to?
"Shut up and come with us quietly, or we'll start playing rough right here and now..." Says one of the agents as his guards raise their guns.
Another of the Agents has his men raise their guns as well on Torix! "So you are an associate! You'll need to come with us, sir..."
Did-
Did the creator of the Master of Death just get brought back!? HOW!
"So that nuisance is being taken care of. Good. It seems that deal was well made after all."
What the- GODMODDER, WHAT DID YOU DO?
"All I did was make some arrangements," He said in a low, insufferable tone of voice. "Nothing more."
None of that sounds good in the slightest.
"It shouldn't. 3 CP charged."
3 CP charged- DANGIT!
You nearly had him, but you forgot to make the bullet it fired undodgeable, unbreakable, unstoppable, unblockable, undeflectable, untransportable, and untrandformable. And then to add insult to injury the Godmodder proves that you should have made it unstealable and- wait, it's not moving?
....Untransportable. Clever.
You get your 3 CP Unstoppable Force Gun!
You begin by making the Creep Tumor and turn around to work on the Evolution pit and Evolution master when you hear a radioactive 'ZAP'! you turn around to find that the Godmodder has cured the Tumor via laser! As you go to complain, the Godmodder zaps the pit only to be bodyblocked by Abathur, killing the Evolution master! The Evolution pit, moved by the sacrifices, triples its effective CP value! Evolution Pit created! It'll boost Zerg Focused Evolution Actions by 3, Zerg Focused Actions by 2, and Evolution Actions by 1! How suspiciously convenient...
Nametag Ruined! Too bad the FBI are too busy with Torix and BlackJesustheOne to notice...
You proceed to attempt to do that, only for the tentacles to be utterly and completely burned off by the energy leaking out of the Godmodder's armor! It's rather painful!
At least you manage to store that CP in the end...
Not only was the Anti-Mind Control laced coffee such a wild success, but the mass communication helped break the spell on the PG groups! Especially the bathroom graffiti - the Godmodder could and did censor everything else, but bathroom Graffiti is *Forever*. The Factory and its inhabitants are now free and back to being AG!!
"Hey! I just cleaned the void goop off of that!"
So he did! Ha! Looks he's doubley unable to fool the FBI! Should they turn around. Or notice.
Sigh.
Tofu Shield shall do as you command...
The Godmodder thinks about this very carefully. He could be an asshole and wake you up. He could just leave you alone to do whatever it is you want to do unsupervised.
Instead, he places some 'Horror ASMR' headphones on you to give you such disruptive nightmares that you can't concentrate in your dreams, can't be woken up by outside help, and when you wakeup on your own, you'll feel groggy!
Truly, the Godmodder is the *worst*.
You charge 3 CP! And, well, it's war. And while Godmodding and Player poowers can be fun, war....
Well. War never changes.
They scoff at the idea that they've been had by a Godmodder! The Godmodders are over and done with. Look-
They look. They finally see through the disguise of the Nametag thanks ot it being ruined and altered. All of them pale at once. 20 of the Armed Forces begin escorting the FBI agents out of here immediately along with the Elite Armed Forces troops and the FBI Lead Investigator! When they find the Black Market Trading stall they ignore it completely! The FBI are in full retreat, and practically screaming into their Walkie Talkies and radios!
"CODE ARMAGEDDON'S REVENGE! I REPEAT CODE ARMAGEDDON'S REVENGE! THE GODMODDERS ARE BACK! I REPEAT, THE GODMODDERS-"
They're cut off when they all suddenly explode one by one in massive fireballs! The Godmodder lowers his hand.
"That's all I needed from you. You've played your part well." He then turns to the surviving Armed Forces. "As for you... you may lay down your lives now for my cause... or you may simply lay down and die. Your choice."
All remaining Armed Forces freeze up in fear. They tremble at his terrifying abilities!
Well that was unexpected. 1 Damage to the Godmodder!
Since the mind control has already been broken, you charge 2 CP instead! Be sure to keep track of it yourself and welcome to the war!
You fill the Black Market stall with Fake Godmodder items! Angry and out of petty revenge, he spreads a rumor that the AG items also have fakes in them, causing people to second guess themselves! now each side only gets a hard limit of 1 CP, and it's every two rounds now! I guess Free CP is just too much to ask for.
Most of your second action is invalid, but you do send that report to the FBI! The player powers helpfully add more information, since this is pretty much otherwise a free Action, and now they have a solid report to confirm the horrifying final cries of their subordinates! Their sacrifices will nto have been in vain, and the leaders of the FBI now know for certain that the Godmodders are back.
For better or for worse.
Because the FBI is gone now, he is able to easily counter the Teleported in toilet by simply moving out of the way! The Curse doesn't take effect because he doesn't use it, and not only does he counter every riposte and attack, but he proceeds to cut and slice away at you with his Ball and Chain, leaving you only in your boxers.
That's right, he used the unwieldy Ball and Chain to win a fencing duel.No this isn't cheating, and hasn't been since the Great Godmodder Aaron Burr killed The Player Alexander Hamilton in a pistol duel using a Sci Fi Laser and used the win to legalize alt-weapon usage in all duels forever for all Godmodders!
A moment of silence in remembrance of Alexander Hamilton.
....
Back to the war!
The Godmodder laughs at your declaration and boxer clad form. "You were saying something, Casual?"
...You went WHERE!? Ohhhh no.
Sidequest started! You and the Rippers will be featured in sidedops now that you're in what I like to call a 'plot adjacent area.'
CP Charged.
Zaircon duels the Godmodder in what looks to be a laughably onesided encounter! However, when he starts getting crushed, the Godmodder teleports out of the cube just in time!
"Almost clever. You're clearly not as incompetent as you seem. Who are you?"
"Kid, I don't have pockets. And that is exactly why I don't have them. That and pocket lint - eugh!"
You do successfully create the 'Book of the Fallen!' It'll get its own section in the first post soon enough!
The portal remains open, and this text serves as the link justifying that connection.
...well okay then?
Yup. Not everything is a clean 1 to 1 in Godmodding wars. Different universal rules, for one thing. Sometimes it's differences in style for the Godmodder. Sometimes it's more esoteric and hard to understand. But the goal remains the same - stopping the threat of a powerful, awful being.
Nice one. 40,000 damage to the Snowball-ling! Its feelings are confused, and it goes to a 'Snow is not for hugging' rehab center! Olaf sympathizes with him greatly and helps him work through the feelings.
Your other actions will be addressed in the EoTB!
You do so! Despite it having no visible effect, they're rather efficient for CP! ( There's no unseen effect for more efficiency either, sadly.)
The Godmodder turns to him, then to Gnich.
"That we shall discuss somewhere more secure than here."
He raises his hand, and three symbols of power appear beneath them! In a flash, they've vanished!
...THEY'VE VANISHED! Nonononono-
Wait, this is still the main section of the fight... They're still nearby, relatively. The rest of you will have to find them! Well, after you deal with the current problems...
===================================================================================================================
EoTB (End of Turn Battle):
However, it seems that teleporting himself, Gnich, and Richard away wasn't the only thing he did! The Evolution pit and the CP Bank had also been teleported - underneath the Plasma Gun Factory! Evolution Pit Destroyed! CP Bank Destroyed! Plasma Gun Factory takes 17,500 Damage - thanks in part due to the Bounded field! The CP Teller and the Researchers all survive, though.
The Tofu Shield gets into a strange and epic gaff with the Ninja Tyrannasaurous Rex! With their location revealed, his Dodge is cut in half! Due to its higher HP, the AG entities all gang up on him! 13,750 damage! The Overmind and Skitter try to Mind Control the Snowball-ling and Ninaj Tyrannosaurus Rex, but due to their lack of expertise in Snowball mind control or Dinosaur taming, it doesn't take! Skitter does gain 500 ATK in Insects, though.
Unfortunately, the Abominable Snowball-ling is still kicking! It gets buffer, reaching 30,000 ATK and going after the Tofu Shield, due to its quality as bait! Tofu shield slain! The Ninja Tyrannosaurus Rex also attacks, destroying its nemesis the Warframe! It roars triumphantly!
However, the Armed Guards snap out of it and open fire! The sheer hail of bullets riddle the Dinosaur with 75,000 damage! Despite its dodging skills, it could not keep up and it hits the ground, dead! Due to their Hatred of the Godmodder, but already existing allegiances, they're relabeled as AG Leaning Neutrals!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cutscene:
And now is when Spicy Serious's Actions kick in! Rumbling up from the ground is an immense fortification of stone and power. Up, up, up it goes! it reaches all the way up into the part of the Atmosphere where the Satellites drift! This will no doubt catch the world stage's attention!
And indeed the wall begins to thicken, generating HP so fast that it swiftly hits 1,000,000 HP!
However, at that exact moment a brilliant red laser sweeps across your view of the upper part of this Wall! With explosive might, everything above the Cloud layer explodes and is vaporized! As You begin to wonder what is going on, you see what caused the attack:
It's an immense flying fortress. Equal parts steel, cloud, and Greco-Roman Architecture, it floats above the opening in the wall menacingly, with a large, cartoonishly styled cannon mounted underneath with steam still wafting off of its barrel from the last attack. It is adjusted, the mechanical 'whirrs' and gear-like 'clanks' echoing around you. You become painfully aware that all of you, your entities, and the Abominable Snowball-ling are all just as trapped by the wall as you are protected from more incoming PG forces.
Suddenly, a flash reaches out from the flying fortress, forming walls of light along the inside and outside of the Wall! It also places a dome of energy over the top of the fortress and, by extension, the Wall. That's when you hear an automated P.A. message!
"Enemy trapped. Enemy trapped. Teleport interdiction in place. Cover dome in place. Enemy needs to die. Enemy threat to Satellite. enemy threat to AGs. Enemy threat to Neutrals. Enemy support Godmodders! Die die die die die-"
That's whent he P.A. cuts off. That pre-recorded voice was clearly unhinged.
Their intent was equally clear when you see a red light gathering in the barrel of the Cannon! You're all trapped, and when that thing fires...
Well, you're sure that 'everyone dies' is pretty likely. And no one wants to experience what it's like in the Soul Orb - or revisit it, in the case of the Veterans!
You've got 5 turns to either stop the cannon or escape! If it fires, it'll be a total field wipe! The stakes are already high, and it's the first 'challenge'? Good grief!
--
Wait, I'm getting something! I've only got audio but...
"So, Richard Person and... Gnich, I presume?" The Godmodder's voice rumbles. "You wished to form an alliance with the Godmodder... now here's your chance. Let's discuss the terms, shall we? Unlike Verraad, I am not interested in betrayal. I'm interested in results. So let's talk what sort of results shall come of this alliance, shall we? Or do you both need some convincing?"
...oh this smells like trouble.

You begin by making the Creep Tumor and turn around to work on the Evolution pit and Evolution master when you hear a radioactive 'ZAP'! you turn around to find that the Godmodder has cured the Tumor via laser! As you go to complain, the Godmodder zaps the pit only to be bodyblocked by Abathur, killing the Evolution master! The Evolution pit, moved by the sacrifices, triples its effective CP value! Evolution Pit created! It'll boost Zerg Focused Evolution Actions by 3, Zerg Focused Actions by 2, and Evolution Actions by 1! How suspiciously convenient...
Nametag Ruined! Too bad the FBI are too busy with Torix and BlackJesustheOne to notice...
You proceed to attempt to do that, only for the tentacles to be utterly and completely burned off by the energy leaking out of the Godmodder's armor! It's rather painful!
At least you manage to store that CP in the end...
Not only was the Anti-Mind Control laced coffee such a wild success, but the mass communication helped break the spell on the PG groups! Especially the bathroom graffiti - the Godmodder could and did censor everything else, but bathroom Graffiti is *Forever*. The Factory and its inhabitants are now free and back to being AG!!
"Hey! I just cleaned the void goop off of that!"
So he did! Ha! Looks he's doubley unable to fool the FBI! Should they turn around. Or notice.
Sigh.
Tofu Shield shall do as you command...
The Godmodder thinks about this very carefully. He could be an asshole and wake you up. He could just leave you alone to do whatever it is you want to do unsupervised.
Instead, he places some 'Horror ASMR' headphones on you to give you such disruptive nightmares that you can't concentrate in your dreams, can't be woken up by outside help, and when you wakeup on your own, you'll feel groggy!
Truly, the Godmodder is the *worst*.
You charge 3 CP! And, well, it's war. And while Godmodding and Player poowers can be fun, war....
Well. War never changes.
They scoff at the idea that they've been had by a Godmodder! The Godmodders are over and done with. Look-
They look. They finally see through the disguise of the Nametag thanks ot it being ruined and altered. All of them pale at once. 20 of the Armed Forces begin escorting the FBI agents out of here immediately along with the Elite Armed Forces troops and the FBI Lead Investigator! When they find the Black Market Trading stall they ignore it completely! The FBI are in full retreat, and practically screaming into their Walkie Talkies and radios!
"CODE ARMAGEDDON'S REVENGE! I REPEAT CODE ARMAGEDDON'S REVENGE! THE GODMODDERS ARE BACK! I REPEAT, THE GODMODDERS-"
They're cut off when they all suddenly explode one by one in massive fireballs! The Godmodder lowers his hand.
"That's all I needed from you. You've played your part well." He then turns to the surviving Armed Forces. "As for you... you may lay down your lives now for my cause... or you may simply lay down and die. Your choice."
All remaining Armed Forces freeze up in fear. They tremble at his terrifying abilities!
Well that was unexpected. 1 Damage to the Godmodder!
Since the mind control has already been broken, you charge 2 CP instead! Be sure to keep track of it yourself and welcome to the war!
You fill the Black Market stall with Fake Godmodder items! Angry and out of petty revenge, he spreads a rumor that the AG items also have fakes in them, causing people to second guess themselves! now each side only gets a hard limit of 1 CP, and it's every two rounds now! I guess Free CP is just too much to ask for.
Most of your second action is invalid, but you do send that report to the FBI! The player powers helpfully add more information, since this is pretty much otherwise a free Action, and now they have a solid report to confirm the horrifying final cries of their subordinates! Their sacrifices will nto have been in vain, and the leaders of the FBI now know for certain that the Godmodders are back.
For better or for worse.
Because the FBI is gone now, he is able to easily counter the Teleported in toilet by simply moving out of the way! The Curse doesn't take effect because he doesn't use it, and not only does he counter every riposte and attack, but he proceeds to cut and slice away at you with his Ball and Chain, leaving you only in your boxers.
That's right, he used the unwieldy Ball and Chain to win a fencing duel.No this isn't cheating, and hasn't been since the Great Godmodder Aaron Burr killed The Player Alexander Hamilton in a pistol duel using a Sci Fi Laser and used the win to legalize alt-weapon usage in all duels forever for all Godmodders!
A moment of silence in remembrance of Alexander Hamilton.
....
Back to the war!
The Godmodder laughs at your declaration and boxer clad form. "You were saying something, Casual?"
...You went WHERE!? Ohhhh no.
Sidequest started! You and the Rippers will be featured in sidedops now that you're in what I like to call a 'plot adjacent area.'
CP Charged.
Zaircon duels the Godmodder in what looks to be a laughably onesided encounter! However, when he starts getting crushed, the Godmodder teleports out of the cube just in time!
"Almost clever. You're clearly not as incompetent as you seem. Who are you?"
"Kid, I don't have pockets. And that is exactly why I don't have them. That and pocket lint - eugh!"
You do successfully create the 'Book of the Fallen!' It'll get its own section in the first post soon enough!
The portal remains open, and this text serves as the link justifying that connection.
...well okay then?
Yup. Not everything is a clean 1 to 1 in Godmodding wars. Different universal rules, for one thing. Sometimes it's differences in style for the Godmodder. Sometimes it's more esoteric and hard to understand. But the goal remains the same - stopping the threat of a powerful, awful being.
Nice one. 40,000 damage to the Snowball-ling! Its feelings are confused, and it goes to a 'Snow is not for hugging' rehab center! Olaf sympathizes with him greatly and helps him work through the feelings.
Your other actions will be addressed in the EoTB!
You do so! Despite it having no visible effect, they're rather efficient for CP! ( There's no unseen effect for more efficiency either, sadly.)
The Godmodder turns to him, then to Gnich.
"That we shall discuss somewhere more secure than here."
He raises his hand, and three symbols of power appear beneath them! In a flash, they've vanished!
...THEY'VE VANISHED! Nonononono-
Wait, this is still the main section of the fight... They're still nearby, relatively. The rest of you will have to find them! Well, after you deal with the current problems...
===================================================================================================================
EoTB (End of Turn Battle):
However, it seems that teleporting himself, Gnich, and Richard away wasn't the only thing he did! The Evolution pit and the CP Bank had also been teleported - underneath the Plasma Gun Factory! Evolution Pit Destroyed! CP Bank Destroyed! Plasma Gun Factory takes 17,500 Damage - thanks in part due to the Bounded field! The CP Teller and the Researchers all survive, though.
The Tofu Shield gets into a strange and epic gaff with the Ninja Tyrannasaurous Rex! With their location revealed, his Dodge is cut in half! Due to its higher HP, the AG entities all gang up on him! 13,750 damage! The Overmind and Skitter try to Mind Control the Snowball-ling and Ninaj Tyrannosaurus Rex, but due to their lack of expertise in Snowball mind control or Dinosaur taming, it doesn't take! Skitter does gain 500 ATK in Insects, though.
Unfortunately, the Abominable Snowball-ling is still kicking! It gets buffer, reaching 30,000 ATK and going after the Tofu Shield, due to its quality as bait! Tofu shield slain! The Ninja Tyrannosaurus Rex also attacks, destroying its nemesis the Warframe! It roars triumphantly!
However, the Armed Guards snap out of it and open fire! The sheer hail of bullets riddle the Dinosaur with 75,000 damage! Despite its dodging skills, it could not keep up and it hits the ground, dead! Due to their Hatred of the Godmodder, but already existing allegiances, they're relabeled as AG Leaning Neutrals!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cutscene:
And now is when Spicy Serious's Actions kick in! Rumbling up from the ground is an immense fortification of stone and power. Up, up, up it goes! it reaches all the way up into the part of the Atmosphere where the Satellites drift! This will no doubt catch the world stage's attention!
And indeed the wall begins to thicken, generating HP so fast that it swiftly hits 1,000,000 HP!
However, at that exact moment a brilliant red laser sweeps across your view of the upper part of this Wall! With explosive might, everything above the Cloud layer explodes and is vaporized! As You begin to wonder what is going on, you see what caused the attack:
It's an immense flying fortress. Equal parts steel, cloud, and Greco-Roman Architecture, it floats above the opening in the wall menacingly, with a large, cartoonishly styled cannon mounted underneath with steam still wafting off of its barrel from the last attack. It is adjusted, the mechanical 'whirrs' and gear-like 'clanks' echoing around you. You become painfully aware that all of you, your entities, and the Abominable Snowball-ling are all just as trapped by the wall as you are protected from more incoming PG forces.
Suddenly, a flash reaches out from the flying fortress, forming walls of light along the inside and outside of the Wall! It also places a dome of energy over the top of the fortress and, by extension, the Wall. That's when you hear an automated P.A. message!
"Enemy trapped. Enemy trapped. Teleport interdiction in place. Cover dome in place. Enemy needs to die. Enemy threat to Satellite. enemy threat to AGs. Enemy threat to Neutrals. Enemy support Godmodders! Die die die die die-"
That's whent he P.A. cuts off. That pre-recorded voice was clearly unhinged.
Their intent was equally clear when you see a red light gathering in the barrel of the Cannon! You're all trapped, and when that thing fires...
Well, you're sure that 'everyone dies' is pretty likely. And no one wants to experience what it's like in the Soul Orb - or revisit it, in the case of the Veterans!
You've got 5 turns to either stop the cannon or escape! If it fires, it'll be a total field wipe! The stakes are already high, and it's the first 'challenge'? Good grief!
--
Wait, I'm getting something! I've only got audio but...
"So, Richard Person and... Gnich, I presume?" The Godmodder's voice rumbles. "You wished to form an alliance with the Godmodder... now here's your chance. Let's discuss the terms, shall we? Unlike Verraad, I am not interested in betrayal. I'm interested in results. So let's talk what sort of results shall come of this alliance, shall we? Or do you both need some convincing?"
...oh this smells like trouble.

Sidequest 1: Godmodder Negotiations
Huh? This counts as a sidequest? That's bizarre, but it's not unheard of, considering that once a sidequest consisted of Verraad playing against JObob and other Players.
Alright. Still only have Audio, but let's listen in anyway.
"I would go into my plan in more detail, I must admit, but it seems that your presence has caused a bit of a leak in my security," He growls, catching on immediately that I am listening in. "That being said, I'm certain that I give you enough details without giving away anything compromising.
"First of all, my plan is not the destruction of the Multiverse for much the same reason. If my plan were to result in that, I would abort it on the spot. But you do bring about a good point on the concern of my power twisting my intent - if not for the reasons you're thinking of. However, my existence is linked to how I obtained my powers completely, and its that nature that I intend to exploit to not only prevent the one avenue of corruption I have, but to ensure that my plan does not and cannot go off the rails. Plus I have one more certainty that will allow me to retain my sanity and hold me to my promise of 'No Omnicide'.
"You." The Godmodder pauses for a moment to let that sink in. "The PG duties, aside from fielding entities and taking out problematic points of interest that the AG side, will be to aid me in whatever task I see fit to keep the plan on the rails. Whether it's cover my one weakness outside of the Critical Soul Weakness or to keep other elements in line, you will act as both my subordinate and my check and balance. You, as well as any others we may add to the fold.
"Now... what say you to this?"
"Ah, there is a misunderstanding. This particular negotiation is to be my subordinate. To serve me and my interests, and I provide my subordinates with a bit of extra security in the event of attack or death, as well as possibly reap the rewards of my plans when the time is right." His voice is filled with the promise of pain for a moment, before budging slightly. "However, what is described sounds like mercenary work, which I am not averse to. Let's talk what equivalence means. I'll be giving you a few example missions, and you tell me what you think is fair. I'll tell you what I think is a better price or what you would actually need to do to get the reward, and then you'll make your decision. If we come to an agreement, you'll be let on as a PG-Leaning Neutral mercenary.
"Now, the scenarios:
"The AGs have made a Snowball that has built itself up to 100,000 HP and 25,000 ATK, and it will get sttronger by 1,250 ATK a turn. It has an ability that will allow it to either gain a new ability or improve an existing ability every 3 turns, including this one, and has been improving its improvement ability. You are expected to terminate the Snowball.
"The AGs have built up spawners that are fielding more entities than we can handle. It has 3 attack shields, 10 standard entities bodyguarding it, and an Attack Shield Generator. The AG is also particularly jealous and will attempt to guard their installation directly, so the risk of direct confrontation is high. You are to take out the Spawners.
"Another AG has made a veritable trove of items on par with the Gates of Babylon or Unlimited Blade Works. The best way of handling them has been stealing the armaments, but the AG, while lax in their defenses, will most definitely seek revenge. You are to kill the AG or take away his armaments.
"An important installation of ours is about to accomplish a goal of critical importance. If it falls, the plan fails. You will have to bodyguard it for an unknown number of turns, and CP cannot be pre-emptively provided.
"These are the example scenarios. Your hypothetical prices?"
----------------------------------------------------------
The lack of visual makes it hard to tell if there's anything else in there besides the Godmodder, Gnich, and ES...
OOC: More Sidequests coming up soon. Got to go and write a post for a different DTG game...

Sidequest 2: Dreams of the Past
It is done, but the injuries worsen to Moderately injured in in the process! As it turns out, blowing out the speakers is slightly explosive in the worst way.
But otherwise this works as intended. And you drift off to dreamland...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You find yourself in a chaotic battlefield that is awfully familiar. Remnants of a Wall that would put both the current obstacle and the Final Wall to shame lay scattered about you. There are enough entities fighting that it's near impossible to recognize anyone in the chaos. You see Heaven Loom above you.
This is a Dream of the 4th Trial of the Godmodding War against Verraad. The one that brought about the end of the Age of Gods.
In the chaos, though, something sticks out to you as surprisingly more real than anything else.
Do you investigate?
-------------------------------------
...should I be keeping track of anything? It's just Dragon of Hope's Dream.... right?
Sidequest 3: Moleman Mania
Player Response:
With three very gross and squicky actions you double your Tyrannid Rippers into a small swarm! You then order them to feed on the local biomatter...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End of Turn Battle (EoTB):
They feed, getting them another tick on their ability.
However, there's a sliiiight problem. All that devouring was messy and distrubed the dirt. A lot. Now for most things, these vibrations in the earth would be inconsequential.
But uh. You haven't met the molmen.
In numbers to put your current swarm to shame, Giant, twisted versions of moles, wearing what looks to be plate armor with an Aztec Aesthetic, pour out from every available opening into the tunnel.
Enough that there's not really a way for you to win this fight. Don't believe me? See the numbers for ourself! Not pretty are they?!
"Player... and their spawnbrood!" The one with four arms and the most ornate armor growls and roars. "Leave us alone! We have sworn off the wars and vowed to never be under your yoke nor used as resources ever again! We earned our power! We earned our FREEDOM! Now LEAVE!"
Not a lot of room for options, huh? What will you do?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Entity Tracker:
[N - Jaggerain] Tyranid Ripper Swarm: 2,000/2,000 HP X 10, 500 ATK X 10, Gather 1 CP per six turns of eating something (3/6). Resistant to Mind Control!
-Ripped straight from the Grimdark Future of the 41st millennium!

[N] Moleman Knights: 150,000/150,000 HP X 20, 37,500 ATK X 20, ???
[N] Moleman Captain: 500,000/500,000 HP, 125,000 ATK, ???, ???
OOC: Next post will be the Main Update. Not going to give an ETA though - things are too rollercoastery today for that.

Fight Post 6
Player Response:
OVERKILL! Abominable Snowball-ling Slain! PG Presence eradicated temporarily - except for wherever the hell the Godmodder is.
You discover that yes, you can hide from the Cannon.... but it's fire is too massive to just hide from it. Void Aspect, however, can do much more than hide. Time it right, and you might be able to use it yet to protect yourself or, better yet, escape.
You call the number on the fortress... only to receive an answering machine in response!
"User is unavailable because of: ||Reason - Perished at Godmodder's Hands||" It intones. "Following last orders: ||KILL HIM! KILL HIM NO MATTER WHAT THE COST! END THE WAR! END THEWAR ENDTHEWAR ENDTHEWARENDTHEWARENDTHEWAR-||"
"Supplementary Rational from Onboard A.I.: || PLAYER MORTALITY RATE RESULTS IN LIKELIHOOD OF DEATH OR WORSE ANYWAY. ENTITY MORTALITY RATE IRRELEVANT. GODMODDER IS THE ONLY MEANINGFUL TARGET. GODMODDER CONFIRMED IN AREA. FIRING WILL COMMENCE AS SCHEDULED.||"
You get the feeling that this thing won't stop until either the Godmodder is dead or it is disabled for good somehow.
You fly up in range of the Main Cannon! You fail to quite do much, due to the sudden discovery that the Cannon has a layer of Rubber underneath the outermost layer of the canon! You find this out as a few pieces of the cannon come off, though not many.
However, Polarize's armor stripping capabilities does offer something more valuable, arguably - it tears off a hidden access panel, giving you a way into the fortress that isn't well guarded! If you get inside, you might find a way of permanently disabling the Fortress!
You attempt to raise your own Zerg Affinity! This manifests itself as a mass of Zergmatter that covers your body! Zergmatter? It doesn't exist? Well it does now. However, shoudl it be stolen or destroyed, the Zerg Affinity disappears.
Also, for reasons entirely related to puns, your Zerg Matter has a minor affinity to evil space emperors/galactic conquerors.
First of all, you get 3 Actions per Fight Post, which is basically the Main Update. Sidequesters get their Actions technically refreshed since there's always a Fight Post/Main Update in between their posts.
Secondly... that's not a thing any player has ever been able to do directly, and all attempts have not ended up well due to most workarounds involving entities or items of power. The King of the Hill Incident is a very, very notable example of such attempts backfiring considerably.
At any rate, you charge 3 CP. Make sure to keep tally of them in your posts.
Something weird happens as you try to enter the portal. You feel some resistance, and know intuitively from your divine lineage that if you cross over to the other battlefield, you'll have to leave any items or power you accumulated here behind. However, returning to here to pick up your stuff is rather easy, and other trickery besides seems possible...
((OOC: Alastair is currently Participating as a character in this particular game: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/destroy-the-godmodder-alchemiquest.807355/ I recommend you try it out, especially if you like the Alchemy system's mixing and matching. Despite the connection, though, crossing items and CP over in between games isn't allowed. Sorry. Lore and plot... well, it'd be confusing and I'd recommend summarizing it in this thread if something you do in that thread is relevant,s o archival readers aren't lost.))
...how do you get more horrifying with each passing second? Nose Thing Added. CP charged.
....what the. Huh? I am so confused. I'm effectively a day old but I'm sure this is strange. Um. Alien Orbputer created, I guess.
The Snowball-ling is dead, so you charge 2 Cp instead. Though honestly if this is what awaited it I'm glad it was killed earlier.
You challenge the laser to a duel! It accepts! The canon shifts slightly to place you in the dead center of its firing range. Unfortunately it's so fat that even if everything crowded on one side of the area you you went to the other, the laser would still have a 50/50 shot of killing them, minimum. It's regrettable, but when you're a laser this big there's gonna be collateral. Still, who knows - maybe you can still make use of this yet?
There's a large blast against the dome with the EMPs, but it doesn't take! It looks like they're more magical in nature than conforming to standard physics! Then again, it didn't do nothing - you can tell the shield got weaker for a second. It's possible that the power source could be disrupted, but taking advantage of that would require some precision and coordination - and that's assuming you can generate enough power to keep it disrupted long enough. Might be easier to take out whatever's powering it from the inside.
Victor has the ticket though! The Cannon's firing arrays flicker a bit, but then Victor notices something unfortunate - microbots! They're crawling over the torn wires to repair them! There's enough there so readily that you wouldn't be surprised if half of the fortress's weight was from these things! Regen Ability discovered! CP charged!
Hoo boy. This is a long one. Um.
First, your initial declaration falls on deaf ears - everyone is panicking about the Giant laser. And unnecessary anyway, since they've all revconverted to AG!
Next, your mass hiring are spread too thin to actually create more individual groups. However, their numbers do give all existing groups another 5,000 HP each. The Builders, sadly, aren't hired due to the time consuming process of hiring everyone else.
Third... too many irons, too few Actions, but one thing DOES go through- Your counter superlaser! It'll take quite a bit though, and more than you can do on your own - 25 CP just to make it, and another 10 to make sure it'll fire when the Superlaser does. It won't be a clean counter, but it could buy you a few extra turns should that thing manage to go off. They begin investing their research points into it, revealing that three Research Points is about the same as one CP invested in a project!
Your men do, however, note your other ideas and table them for after the Doomlaser situation is taken care of. No sense in letting good ideas go to waste! A To Do list will be put under your factory to keep track of the project names. Additionally, since I kinda feel bad about delaying all of that, I'll throw in one of my Actions to get the Laser Project started, bringing the startup capital to 2/35.
They get the message - and your magic is indeed useful since Superlaser magic is the easiest to produce but hardest to control! +1 CP to the Superlaser!
Scrap Dragon Created! It will try to nom on the Superlaser in the EoTB!
Apparently, the Godmodder is behind the Master of Death being pre-occupied, and no doubt even if he wasn't the afterlife crisis going on would be sufficiently distracting besides.
You make the best Robocop! I wish I knew what that was, though. Anyway, he'll definitely be loyal to you!
You code throws an error!
exception.null(pointer(THIS)) not found;
Whoops! Looks like there was no valid target for Universe 2! And even if you did, it'd still take until the universe's death to go off! Both of them, and I'm pretty sure that you're trying to save this particular universe, at least.
You are now slightly injured and spent an Action, but now the Frog of Truth can handle a lot more pain! Unfortunately due to balancing issues, this just comes out to more HP. Still, now the Frog won't die as easily.
You attempt to do your second action, but there's no soul energy to be had! In fact, you find evidence of there having been soul energy in the area, but it's long since been absorbed by something. It also absorbed the Entity souls of all the beings that have been perishing since the start, as weak as they are due to their nature!
You try to purchase it, but it seems that they are fresh out! Which is just as well, since the Snowball-ling is dead. You pocket the Action as CP.
CP charged for both of you!
You gain a plethora of info! First of all - there's actually a satellite above it that's geosynched to it! They definitely seem to be connected, but I don't know how.
Second, you notice the other ability of the Fortress - it can summon attack satellites!
Faction was AG, actually, but due to the creator - a Player named Si Fron - becoming a complete asshole and going off his rocker, it's since been reclassified as a Player leaning Neutral entity.
The ATK value also solidifies - 1,000,000 ATK! Explains how it damaged the wall like it did. Well, at least that's some good news - if it fires off, the wall will go down, meaning you can escape firing range afterwards if it doesn't kill you. It is still a total field wipe, so you probably don't want that.
It's HP has also showed up, but I get the feeling that this applies to direct attacks only. If you were to take out key structures or wreck it from the inside, it might not need that much damage to stay down.
Noted! Charge charged!
30,000 damage! With this, you're over the regen factor by 10,000! ...yeah, no, this will be too slow. Still, your maneuver did place you at the top of the fortress, where there's a few entrances to try and get inside! These include a door, some windows, and a skylight.
HRNG! GAH! What sort of truth sorcery did you call upon!? It's painful, but it does the trick! The cannon is stalled by 1 turn!
You friends beat you up when there's no Snowball-ling to kill! One of them is even mean enough to throw a snowball loaded with 1 CP at you! (You keep the CP).
You shove an oversized cork into the Main Cannon! if it's secured, this could be an alternate way of defeating it, and even if it doesn't, it'll still decrease the final attack value by 10,000 each!
You charge and plan! Good strategy!
===================================================================================================================
EoTB (End of Turn Battle):
Most of your entities can't actually attack or fly up - save for the Scrap Dragon, Butterfree, and Yaijirobe riding said butterfree! 6,250 damage dealt!
The Fortress summons 5 Fighters! They're pretty weak though, but they'll do as much damage as they can.
Black Market Stall gives 1 CP to the Player side. Since it's not determined who should get it, it'll go into the Superlaserfund! Superlasers aren't cheap! The Godmodder gets his CP from the sales somehow.
I proceed to make an 'itinerary' because there's a few options that have been brought up for dealing with this mess. Once I do so, I'll need to contact Heaven.

------------------------------------------------------------
Itinerary:
Primary Objective - Defeat the Godmodder!
Major - Stop the Flying Fortress Cannon!
-Cork the Cannon up even further!
-Infiltrate and wreck the Flying Fortress form the inside!
-Power TheGoldenBoy2188's Superlaser Project!
Major - Escape the Superlaser
-Stop the Fortress
-Disrupt the Shields enough to get out
-Somehow escape/nullify the damage
OVERKILL! Abominable Snowball-ling Slain! PG Presence eradicated temporarily - except for wherever the hell the Godmodder is.
You discover that yes, you can hide from the Cannon.... but it's fire is too massive to just hide from it. Void Aspect, however, can do much more than hide. Time it right, and you might be able to use it yet to protect yourself or, better yet, escape.
You call the number on the fortress... only to receive an answering machine in response!
"User is unavailable because of: ||Reason - Perished at Godmodder's Hands||" It intones. "Following last orders: ||KILL HIM! KILL HIM NO MATTER WHAT THE COST! END THE WAR! END THEWAR ENDTHEWAR ENDTHEWARENDTHEWARENDTHEWAR-||"
"Supplementary Rational from Onboard A.I.: || PLAYER MORTALITY RATE RESULTS IN LIKELIHOOD OF DEATH OR WORSE ANYWAY. ENTITY MORTALITY RATE IRRELEVANT. GODMODDER IS THE ONLY MEANINGFUL TARGET. GODMODDER CONFIRMED IN AREA. FIRING WILL COMMENCE AS SCHEDULED.||"
You get the feeling that this thing won't stop until either the Godmodder is dead or it is disabled for good somehow.
You fly up in range of the Main Cannon! You fail to quite do much, due to the sudden discovery that the Cannon has a layer of Rubber underneath the outermost layer of the canon! You find this out as a few pieces of the cannon come off, though not many.
However, Polarize's armor stripping capabilities does offer something more valuable, arguably - it tears off a hidden access panel, giving you a way into the fortress that isn't well guarded! If you get inside, you might find a way of permanently disabling the Fortress!
You attempt to raise your own Zerg Affinity! This manifests itself as a mass of Zergmatter that covers your body! Zergmatter? It doesn't exist? Well it does now. However, shoudl it be stolen or destroyed, the Zerg Affinity disappears.
Also, for reasons entirely related to puns, your Zerg Matter has a minor affinity to evil space emperors/galactic conquerors.
First of all, you get 3 Actions per Fight Post, which is basically the Main Update. Sidequesters get their Actions technically refreshed since there's always a Fight Post/Main Update in between their posts.

Sidequest 1: Godmodder Negotiations, Post 2
He thinks over the choices silently. Then he speaks.
"You seem to value the creation of entities. But that is an idle thought - your requests are in fact reasonable. I look forward to requesting your services."
He seems to not be inclined to give his actual thoughts. Interesting.
The Godmodder's grim voice grows even more grim. "You would have me not kill Players to the last? My primary source of gaining power and strength? If I do this, they will have a chance of killing me the longer my plans go on. This will add an element of pressure to complete my plans before I perish."
There's a lethally malicious moment of silence. Then he forcibly clasps your hand- and transfers a power to your soul? No, an object! An object that can only be manifest when or if you're reduced to your soul form, such as if you ended up in a Godmodder's Soul Orb!
"This is your insurance, should they not share your compunctions and hangups on murder. It is not confined to your use only. That said, your terms allow for strategic eliminations only, which I can respect. Should it be necessary, you can transfer this. You are lucky that my plans do not hinge on their absolute demise in any capacity."
That said... he did shake on it. If your hand's discomfort is any indicator. Time will only tell how honorable he is though.
There is the sound of chains being wrapped around something. Probably you. To which I say - what the fuck!?
"You are rather stealthy when you need to be." The Godmodder muses. "You'd have to be, to get here."
There is a forcible yank and - he's gripped your head I see. That's...
"You admit to yourself that you are making a lot of assumptions. What if I were to... betray them?" And there's some bleeding! "What if I were to be something you thought I was not? What if I decided to annihilate you and your existence so that no record of you remained? Answer me this simple question, and perhaps I'll let you join."
...that is an awfully tense silence in there. Is... is everything okay?

OOC: Since most of the responses here are dealt with... I'll go ahead and deal with The Two Eternities' response in Fight Post 8, along with the rest of the players. Expect to be teleported back to the field on that turn. Once the other two Sidequest posts are done I'll work on Fight post 7.
