@ Mod Drebin

I follow Zamorak because I view him as a liberator. While Zamorak isn't really the god of nature, he does share many rules with nature such as 'survival of the fittest' and 'natural selection'. If the weak are not taken out of the equation, then the race/species cannot thrive. If wolves didn't kill off the old and sick elk, then there would be overpopulation, there would be food shortages, and disease would spread. Strength doesn't always mean physical strength. You could be strong if you are intelligent, a strong military tactician, are best suited for a role/position, etc. Chaos creates competition, which in turn makes people work harder, and can create stronger bonds between friends, family, allies, etc. Wolves are stronger when working in a pack, so they form strong social and emotional bonds. Another reason why I am Zamorakian is because I admire his bravery and skill as a military leader. He was the only one with the courage to stand up the the most powerful god awake during the second age. Not even the other gods dared to do that. I will listen to all of the emissaries with an open mind, however. My alignment is subject to change if Zamorak turns out to go against my own ideals and what I believe to be right.
The strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack.

1) Who do you think you'll align to?
2) What has lead you to that decision?
3) How do you think you'll let that choice affect your story?

1) Seren!
2) I run a clan of elves, I have an elf name, I have been obsessed with elves since the beginning, and I love them! Seren is my favourite god also because she has been hidden but not away, so there is exciting lore to be found with her. I also liked her close friendship with Guthix, and I hope to hear more about their bond.
3) It will only strengthen my bond to the elves, and I will be able to show my affiliation with Seren. I only hope in time she will show herself to us, I would love to meet her!

1) Who do you think you'll align to?
-The Godless, of course.

2) What has lead you to that decision?
-Unlike a lot of the previous Godless supporters, it really doesn't have anything to do with Guthix's wishes. I simply dislike the idea of any god dominant over Gielinor- I'd think of that as, essentially, an odd form of theocracy, a form of government which I am less than a fan of. In addition, I don't have particularly strong attachments to any god, and one or two has already managed to tick me off- Bandos's actions during The Chosen Commander were quite irritating, and Saradomin, along with many of his followers, manages to come off as a self-righteous tool.

On top of all of that, if I join the Godless, I may get a chance to dance the spears with every god. How much fun would that be? :D

3) How do you think you'll let that choice affect your story?
-It certainly won't define it. I don't wish to see any god dominating Gielinor, but that doesn't mean I won't work with a god's faction should our interests coincide. If a faction is attempting to rebuild a shrine or artifact, I'm going along with them because I like building stuff and whatever they end up making could have interesting benefits for me. Similarly, if a faction (even the godless) is going to destroy texts or information or buildings or anything of significance or interest to me, I'm going to beat them down.

My allegiance to the Godless essentially just means that I'm not about to go razing and enslaving a city 'for da gloreh of [X/Y god]'. Although I do hope that there won't be too much of that in the future; conflicts tend to be long and irritating when they concern little more than ceaseless conquests fueled by mindless zealotry.

EDITED because I once again forgot that the forums are still glitched so that we can't use many basic English and Mathematical symbols.

1) I'll have to choose Armadyl or Saradomin. Armadyl is definitely my first choice as he stands for justice but at the same time, does not want a God Wars to break out. Saradomin is a little over-zealous, but I still find him interesting. :)

2) Armadyl has been one of those 'silent' gods with an interesting back-story. I'm very much interested to see how he will return after the devastating loses he endured during the first God Wars! Time for some payback!

3) I don't know how it will affect my story, but I trust my fellow Armadyllians won't be disappointed with what you all have in store for us. :D

Some people may view Zamorak's destruction of Forinthry as evil. In my opinion it was not an act of evil. It was during a time of war. By eliminating as many threats from the opposing factions as possible, Zamorak saved the lives of many of his followers. This can be looked at exactly like dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WW2. Many innocent Japanese people were killed, but the United States prevented much more death than there would have been otherwise. It helped to put an end to WW2, and most importantly, protected those who the United States was trying to protect. I would kill an innocent person if it meant protecting those who I love. I would easily kill someone in self defense and the defense of friends and family.

You look more like a Serenist (or whatever you call a follower of Seren).

@ Mod Drebin or any other Mods looking at this thread.

Are you allowed to confirm what day the god emissaries will be released? I am really hoping for Monday.

This thread is getting interesting.

Must say I'm looking forward to the Emissaries tasks.

Couple of questions though...

There are Combat/Skill/Exploration tasks. Are there some of each task for each faction? Or do the different factions cater to different play styles?

E.G. Bandos being Big High War God means a lot of (or exclusively) combat tasks, but very few/no skillng ones?

AND

What exactly would an Exploration task involve? Will there be new areas to discover/unlock, or a new area/minigame we do this exploring in? Or is it some kind of miniquest based in current locations? Does Fossil/Kudos Island have anything to do with this Exploration?

ALSO

Where does Divination fit in with these factions? Or doesn't it?

Thanks in advance.
