Yeah, but most people know enough about Ancient Greece and Rome to do whatever they need to without having to go read through Pantheon.org.

And if they wanted to do anything special they'd either have to put some effort in and research it (thus eliminating the 'I'll join to destroy the world' people), or clear it with me.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who are into mythology that wouldn't mind reading through Pantheon or doing some research if they had to. Me being one of them.

And there's an added bonus I just realised: If it's no longer NW, then Stryke 'eternal trolling' permit expires.

Mwuahaha.

i like the idea of good vs evil using mythical stories, intermixing stuff might be fun, using thor to smack zues, but it could get annyoing. if you go classical stuff here, warn Stu, he'd love this.

*kills all the hundreds of hidden forums at NW and cuts the crap loose to make way for the renovation*

Now, where's Sheepy when you need to impose your will on him?

[color=cc9900]Presumably you want Sheepy for graphics stuff - if you haven't found him yet then I can do graphics stuff. Honest.[/color]

In the time-honoured, back-stabbing traditions of NW; Whomever shall maketh thine bestest graphics the soonestest shalt be madeth an admin in the placeth of his predecessor.

[color=cc9900]Fair enough. What do you want as a general image (i.e. what of, what genre, any particular colours you're aiming for, etc.), and what size ought it to be?[/color]

I'll also do up some logo graphics.

As for a title....

Gods of the Old World

Also, an0n's whole idea of good v.s. evil is a good idea. However there should be a law v.s. chaos bit in there too.

Plus some bits of Norse mythology such as Ragnarok and all are starting to come true, etc.

Ideally I'd like to have things from Norse, Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Aztec/Mayan to give a nice range of ideologies and abilities, but there's the geographical and temporal aspects to consider.

And as for style, I'd say dark-egyptian. Think "How would Anubis decorate his temple?".

I was thinking Royal-blues and Gold, but the dead bodies thing could be pretty cool.

Some zombie-corpses (ala The Mummy) piled at the bottom of the forum index could be pretty cool.

[color=cc9900]At first, I thought about being adventurous. Then I realised I actually have very little time to be adventurous in. So I made this quickly in Photoshop, and it ain't that good, but I'm for some reason determined to post it anyway. See what you think. I made up a name too - Mythol-RPG - which sounds vaguely like "Mythology". Well, vaguely. Take it or leave it.

and it kinda sounds like alcohol, so an0n ought to like it.
