If Gods can become race players then race players should get to become gods in a similar way. I liked the Idea of a hero becoming a demigod and later becoming a god in it's own right, but such an option can still be available for players wanting to play SG all quest like.

I don't mind new players becoming gods to be honest, as long as they contribute. I would suggest maybe a time frame. A number of ages and posts to become a Demi god, and then a further number of ages and posts to become a god. That way new players can't just troll the sub after a few weeks. Perhaps the pantheon could vote on the creation of a new Demi god and their domain. Allow Demi gods only one domain. Then a number of Gods need to vote to make you a god. These are just a few ideas, I'd be interested to know what other people think.

I read the back and forth replies. I don't know if it just my opinion or many people will hold my stance on this, but this isn't a "monopoly" game. Like we aren't playing to win with rules that prevent us from cheating. Its roleplay story-telling, or army building, or fuck-with-other-people-ing. I think the rule is "you don't try to win, you just play". The balance of gameplay is struck between mutual effort to make a good story.
As far as I can say the biggest boundary to starting to play is 1: Knowing what the hell is going on in the first place 2: Getting through the universe and starting. There a lot of content and a lot of things that help, like the Gaea ecosystem map. But even now I'm almost scared of trying to figure out what is going on with the moons and the Deep and whatnot.
Maybe someone can give their opinion on this, but I have an idea of writing in a few "starter" characters in case someone wants to join but just doesn't have the imagination to know where to start. Design an interesting character, give them a paragraph of explanation, choose a race thats relatively sheltered from the goings-on, and just let them adopt it from there.

I think you are entirely correct to be honest. This is a medium for story telling and collaboration. Not a game with a specific win criteria/scenario. There is so much going on that it would be impossible to police. I also don't think we need a mod back who wanted to ben @WulfCall for simply disagreeing with him. The lad went full reddit on poor wulfcall. A mod should be the last person to get emotional with players, or to lose their rag. So if I break a rule, my story gets cancelled and I get a week ban, in a story telling sub, no thanks.
As for new players, I do agree that the amount of information is daunting. All new players really need to do, is find a niche, and try to start telling a story within it. There isn't a need to read everything just to start. Usually something happens and then you read up on it. Hell players could even get together and go on quests if they wanted, the world is pretty open, and a lot can be written/fleshed out by new players. I think your idea could work really well..

Zille started the week off by stealing a planet, and placing it in the Deep, Tempest and Phyra helped. So there is now a mini binary system in the Deep, and a void. {...} then launched his invasion of the Deep. Zille countered doing this, and then setting Tymoro off to destroy all things {...}, which he did in his own particular style. She also helped {...} form the Ice brain. Tempest also managed to guilt her into giving the Deep back, which she kinda wrecked. To makeup for it, she helped Tempest to make Ikagoya. So she has something new to mess with, or steal. Zille made a new friend and sent a letter. Most importantly though, she took steps, to rid the world of a vicious little Rat named Mar'dy.

My attempt at a map @silvester @humptydumpty @GrandPrismatic @Cutsprocket @Urukuk
So clearly it's hard to read... :s When zoomed in it looks better, but it doesn't give a good oversight like this.
Readability fix??
Attempt 3, calmer ocean

looks awesome. I'd prefer the southern forest to be down on the bottom part of the map but im not fussed with where it ends up
[–] HumptyDumpty ago
Nice, well done. Also shouldn't all the lakes be perfect circles XD

I tried but it looked a little silly :(

I know. I just found a pic of some cool lines and layered it on top.
