.god

From RPGwiki

The .god, also known as The Fractal Dude, The Lord of the Web and probably a few other things is a new arrival on the theological scene. At least, thats what his worshipers claim. Some theorists have speculated that the .god is actually just a new face for a much older being.

The first reported sighting of the .god date back around thirty years when people started recieving what appeared to be spam emails which all came from email addresses in the .god domain, despite the fact that there didn't appear to be any server associated with it.

Often these unsolicited emails contained advise or predictions of the future, all of which have proved accurate at first. After awhile falls proclimations start to creep in, and detractors started to deride initial success as plain luck. The emails were tracked back to a student in Kael and it seemed that the .god scam was blown. However, the studen turned up dead shortly afterwards, electricuted by a short circuit in his computer and the .god emails continued with renewed accuracy.

Most people except the existence of the.god now, although thee are still a few adamante sceptics. Certainly the fractal dude is an unusual god. He/she (It has claimed to be both in the past.) recieves emails or instant messages rather than prayers and has a home page rather than churches. Nevertheless, the Dudes priests have all the powers one would expect, and also flashy laptops.

As well as being associated with computers and the internet, .gods influence extends across any electrical device including tv's, satelites and mobile phones. It has also shown a deep understanding of mathematics, physics and other scientific subjects. The .god can be base as well as academic, as the huge amount of porn on the net would indicate or even demand, and its influence extends into any strong emotion.

When praying to/emailing the .god it is coming to use one of several alternatives inthe address bar, depending on the nature the request. Some of the possibilities include:

• agonyaunt@prayers.god This email address is for people seaking advice on emotional issues relating to romantic situations.
• drcalculus@prayers.god Listens to the technical problems of programmers and scientists.
• complaints@prayers.god For those that feels they have a bone to pick with the divine one.

Messages sent to any of these adddress usually get a reply, although not always a unique one. Most of the responses are fasirly general - "Nothing is easy", "Perhaps your time would bee better spent else where" and so one. Once in a while though, the .god sends something for more detailed.

Frankly, considering that most prayers are greeted by silence, the .gods worshipers do pretty well.
