DEAT = deleted

It is a term from a long way's back. It started out as a typo. Someone who had been banned, instead of typing "death" wound up typing "deat", and for some reason it stuck. It is now the site's slang for a nation that's been deleted.

Wasn't that Neutered Sputniks making a typo when deleting someone? :unsure:

As a potential Dualist I could say that god fucked off once he created the universe and started the evolutionary process and left an idiot in charge, the deputy manager.

Jesus was an envoy of the original god, but was killed by the deputy manager for job security.

No. Neut was quoting it, I think.

The NS quotes thread on Jolt attributes it to someone called Islamic Ummah (IIRC), but that may not be the original either.

But would you be able to do it?

God, remember, is omnipotent - that includes the ability to persuade you not to apply a DEAT.

But is that what Loki thinks, or what you think?

Given his reputed ego, I am sure that he would consider himself as God, and not merely a god. Thus, by his own self identification he would be banned.

I can't speak for the mods, so maybe each mod should give their opinion about the subject.

My answer would be that he/she wouldn't be banned until they broke one of the rules.
I have as much respect for your opinions as you do my facts.

I will rarely respond to replies to my posts, if you wish to address me send a telegram.

Probably. The Christian God would probably flame someone (maybe literally) at the drop of a hat. However, I doubt he could do anything to the mods or NS. They are both under Reppy's great protection.
