Directory of Allied Gods

"There's no rush. The believer management feature alone will make the gods unable to do without the Spirit Network." Anse was confident.

Believer management was much like follower management for short videos. Casual believers were like passing fans, true believers were followers who had clicked subscribe, clergy were moderators, believer ranks were fan levels, and faith contributions were like fan donations...

Believers needed to be maintained, and so did fans. There was no fundamental difference.

If there was one, believers were more devoted.

Once an ideology took shape, it would not easily change.

Once the gods grew accustomed to this model, it would be difficult for them to accept that distant, ineffective feeling of sitting in their Divine Kingdoms.

"I hope Azuth can bring in a few more gods he's close to."

After some thought, Anse added two appendices to the Spirit Network rules that all new users had to read: Directory of Network Gods and Directory of Allied Gods. At present, both lists contained only four gods: the principal god, God of the Spirit Network; the auxiliary gods, Chaos Pioneer, Six-Winged Spirit Dragon God, and God of Mages. Network Gods only had the right to use the Spirit Network. They had to pay a ten percent "operational loss" fee and possessed no administrative authority.

Allied Gods, on the other hand, were like Azuth. They fully integrated into the Spirit Network, paid a negligible "operational loss" fee, and received varying levels of administrative authority and divine privileges. For example, Allied Gods had independent sanctuaries in the Spirit Network World where they could receive their own believers.

Anse's purpose in doing this was to show the members the Spirit Network's foundation while openly attracting other gods.

Joining the network was fine, but not just anyone could become an Allied God.
