- This is the "low quality" and "insulting" newspost that i wrote at like 10 in the morning for me, the actual punishment happened at like 9PM -

Greetings, People of Sapience.

I am sure that You have by now taken notice of this "R.I.S.E" thing that Pandora has brought into being, if You have not, I
would like to guide you to the other news about it, but would advise to read with skepticism, perhaps to treat it as a joke
entirely.


This isn't going to be some benign quest that we should all pursue in our own best interests, not by a mile, it is the
attempt of a two-faced god to manipulate us all into doing their bidding, to dedicate copious amounts of Essence to Pandora,
so that she may accomplish whatever it is she wishes for this time.

She is not an altruist, and she does not hold us in high regards, causing us pain is something she will do on a whim, don't
forget, we're nothing more than rats after all, meek, stupid and worthless beings that can ocassionally be fun to observe or
do something useful, nothing more.

We're uniquely cursed though, all of us together, because we are just smart enough to think ahead, and to understand the
value in certain things. We can marvel at the display of power, over being shown things we have never seen before, and
certainly, over the promise of rising to divinity. Who could refuse such a notion, after all, to become incomprehensibly -
more- than they are right now, to become like those who they worship?

Like Pandora said, it is the opportunity of a lifetime, an offer that we just could not pass up on, what is a little work and
dedication now, in the face of eternity, after all, so better sign up quickly, quick, quick, quick, so you can have a place
high up within the pyramid, don't think about the implications, don't question the act, just make sure to dedicate Essence
upwards, and to receive more from down the stream, we're all equal, right?

To hell with that notion, Sapience.

I know that we are all starved for validation, that we all want to be more than we are, we want to be like the divine, to be
loved by the divine, and, hungry as we are, She knows that we would just lap up whatever garbage She chooses to serve us,
Pandora, because she knows how to manipulate us, how to make us work for her ends, by appealing to our Egos, our longing for
more.

Hard work is going to be rewarded?
Hard work is going to be the key to divinty?

Sure, that MUST be the case, when all your own work serves to benefit the person you have pledged yourself to, not yourself.

When just having signed up early, being one of the founding members, so to say, means that all the hard work of those beneath
you, those that have come later, benefits you, and those above you, instead of themselves?

Kinilan might as well not put an ounce of effort into the entire ordeal if he so wished, because all of Sapience will
contribute to his Essence, the wheel will continue to turn and to benefit him the most, while those at the bottom are
promised divinity that they will never be able to work hard enough for, because they came in too late to abuse those who
could have been beneath them.


Pressure those poor fools to work harder, pressure them into pressuring others yet, so that you may benefit, you lovely
little scumbag, and no worries, this is totally FOR mortals, BY mortals.


The other Divine are suspiciously silent around it too, you would almost believe that they don't feel very strongly about
this, the prospect of hundreds of new Divine to flood into the pantheon, of all the Essence that is not being dedicated to
them now, those worshippers that they will lose, perhaps this would highlight just how little they care about us truly, or
that Pandora has already grown enough in power, through our work, flowing through Kinilan, that she's silenced them, sent
them away, whatever it might be.


Please, just think this through, Sapience, we all well know that this is a bunch of garbage, it is set up in a way to
specifically benefit Pandora's order, it diminishes the other Divine, and it tries to trick us into feeling like we are truly
"working for ourselves", through vague words, missing information, and a bunch of pandering encouragement, don't let yourself
be deluded by the Trash upon Our world, don't play into this, examine the situation, and think about it intensively.


I will probably end up some sort of unenviable way after the writing of this, just know that I stand for all Mortals, and the
potential we hold over our own destinies, do not let yourself be made a pawn for Her game.

2022/9/12/21:06 Greetings! Regarding issue #93656: You called out and insulted a god on the public newsboard, the maggotting
wasn't for your shouts it was for a low effort attempt to get a god's attention. Gods are in no way obligated to create
special roleplay for people who insult them, we would much rather gods spend their time and attention creating interesting
interactions for the people who want and appreciate their attention. Please don't hesitate to use ISSUE ME <your issue> if
you have any further questions or concerns!

2022/9/12/21:11 Greetings! Regarding issue #93657: If you don't think insulting a god in a perpetual and public venue doesn't
warrant punishment from said god, we don't know what to tell you. But we can say that it is entirely possible to be and
describe skepticism without just being rude and insulting. As it is, we do not find the maggotting to be inappropriate in
application or duration. Please don't hesitate to use ISSUE ME <your issue> if you have any further questions or concerns!

2022/9/12/21:16 Greetings! Regarding issue #93658: A key part of the Achaea experience is that actions have consequences. An
IP ban would remove you from the game, being turned into a maggot is an in character punishment from an in character God, who
you chose to challenge in a public venue. If you do not want an angry response from a God, don't provoke a God. Any further
issues on this matter will be deleted, this is the administration's final word. Please don't hesitate to use ISSUE ME <your
issue> if you have any further questions or concerns!


- The shouts in question.

Your vision blurs, clarity breaking apart in bursts of prismatic colour as the voice of Pandora echoes, "In more important news!"
Your vision blurs, clarity breaking apart in bursts of prismatic colour as the voice of Pandora echoes, "Meloi, it is obviously true that you do not care about looking stupid.
 However, when you want to be stupid about Me and My supposed motivations, I will assist you in truly looking the part."
You shout, "You're going to strike out at me, then, like all of those you feel slighted by, Pandora? Not that i can stop you, but perhaps it would do you well to actually
engage with issues on equal terms."
Your vision blurs, clarity breaking apart in bursts of prismatic colour as the voice of Pandora echoes, "If you were anyone's mental equal, they would dwell in an anthill."
You shout, "Come and make yourself at home then, in my anthill, the queen is pleasant. Sadly i'll only be able to serve you the same garbage that all my brethren get, bits of
sugar, roaches, nectar. I would have really expected a stronger retort, Pandora."
