I so call dibs on being the god of Insanity! If not,then I will settle with the god of randomness!
Think about it,a world based around the escapist would work so much better than a world based around celebrity and pop culture.

This should certainly be interesting. I'll be curious to see what you come up with as the lore for The Escapist...

Are you talking just the forums? The people? The site as a whole?

And lo the Goddess appeared to them as they ventured out into the wastes of 'internets'
she appeared in the form of a burning post

I call Freeman, god of the FPS.
On second thought, it would be a very important god and alas, I am not.
I make a movement for The Escapist Key, the key to the universe.
It is guarded by a thousand armies of the dead and locked inside an impenetrable fortress.
Letting this key fall into the wrong hands would mean the end of the world as we know it.

I'll start us off...

In the beginning there was nothing, the lord saw this and was troubled. Thus he spaketh in a mighty boom that was to echo across the aeons of time "ah sod it, I'm going to go play gamegear"
Gamegear? We were created while he was playing Spore!
This was the holy gamegear, powered by 6 AA super nova's, wrist strap of pure gold, capable of calculating every permutation of life that would ever be. Unfortunately the power went dead shortly after the character creation screen causing god's first vengeful act, the creation of the nintendo fanboy......

Not sure whether or not I understood this task correctly, but if you´re (semi-)seriously compiling an Escapist Mythos, you might want to start from the beginning, like this wiki article (If you can find better info, that´s swell. Perhaps someone from the staff could lend a hand.) You know, creation of the universe, the earth and other groovy things. Replace real persons with gods, and voilá. Then ask older, still active, members to come up with a story, from their perspective. Finally all you have to do is, together with the rest of the members, give the shapeless lump of information a solid form; write a coherent fable (preferably of legendary proportions).

Just a suggestion, though. Make of it what you will.

EDIT: Oh, and no need to forget the newer members.

You can be the keeper of the pony, the holy relic of the gods.
:D According to my last post then, Susan is the Keeper of my own personal Shrine... (the Caps is because it's just that awesome.)

EDIT: Sorry about the double post...

This sounds fun.

So are we making a pantheon, a history or just some some tales?

If we get to be gods I call god of battle!
