maderrSo if a person, oh we'll call him Donald for the purposes of pondering, were to malign and insult X god(s) in...let's go with a college setting, so obviously some sort of religion class, I wonder how said god would go about getting revenge? Send minions? Curse him? Go down and exact revenge himself?
I'd go with the greek gods, myself, just because they're fun what with the vindictiveness, the orgies, the wine, the incest...wait I think that's most religions. I'm just fond of the pantheon.
Ah, but ostensibly if you're discusisng one greek god, others are involved, since they were usually just pissing each other off or having sex. So Donald insults several of them? So it's quite likely that they draw straws (or the greek equivalent, whatever that is) to see who gets to go show the little mortal whatfor. Or possibly, and far more likely knowing the pantheon, severald decide to see who can best exact revenge.
Of course Don's personality could be anything here. Asshole know it all, w00bie loner with a penchant for snarking, clueless ape, clueless geek, and more besides. Which god(s) should be involved? Decisions, decisions...
Then there are the directions/ends for the story. Much bitterness? One or more of the gods have a change of heart and a small war ensues? They exact revenge and then feel like shit later? Don fucks them all over in a weird twist (how that would be managed is beyond me).
This had been done a million times, I know, but it was amusing enough to think about while I avoid this stupid section of dwtd and dither over everything else.
