*nod* as do I.  I like a pantheon that doesn't make its presence
known, but still leaves reason for the aethist to doubt.
I also like the notion that if a god is going to put in an 'appearence'
he is going to do it in a vision, dream, a 'feeling', or a coincidence.
Only in the most dire of circumstances when something the god truely
and deeply cares about(like his matrix of matrix gems) is on the line
should he show up.

Reaction rolls, hate'em.  They always screw you.  If you've been
loyal and devote, this is your way out...hmmm..bad rhyme there.  If
you've been rather candy ass about your worship, then you get dick.
This also prevents folks from calling out to Orus just cause they
know he has a general tendency to ask "What do you really want, and
if you say 'life', 9 times out of 10, you live."
