I am religiously confused...

Hi,

I ran into some sort of ontological trouble... Today I received a message stating that I had been temporarily disconnected. This is not the problem, as I reentered the game immediately without any difficulty.

The issue is that I received that message from "GOD" (and in allcaps, to boot). But, but...

* WHAT God?
* Is there another god beside the Gods?
* Is there one of the Gods so godlike that it places itself above the other Gods, hence this title?
* Is this "God" entitled to this title, or is this something it does behind the backs of the other Gods?
* Are the rumors about the Gods actually true?

Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhh!

  • GOD is just a staff member, and regardless of which staff member it happens to be, we can pretty sure that he or she doesn't look anything like the giants, so it's all good.

  • GOD seems to be the apologist when things don't go as the Giants imagined. The capitals suggest an acronym, maybe "Glitch outage detector"?

  • There is no God, only the Giants.

    This "God" of yours is a liar and a false prophet, no amount of tech talk will convince me to accept this heresy.

    Cosma be praised.

  • I always thought this GOD person was an underling of the Giants, like Mercury working for the Olympian gods, just a laborer with a fancy title and a little power.

  • It isn't clear from this footage whether this is indeed the same GOD or not.

    I also wonder if this GOD can be believed, or if it is some Trickster GOD. Regardless, this allcaps GOD seems to speak in Pluralis Majestatis and has some pretty awesome old-school dance moves.

    Seriously, I just about wet my pants.

  • GOD is actually some kind of computer or programming term but I have forgotten what it stands for.  It was explained in this Forum long ago and I cannot find it now.  It has no religious significance unless you want to ascribe something to it.  A kind of "in" joke here at Glitch I think.

  • GOD Of Djinn?

  • @Sturminator - The irony is that GOD is (SPOILERS) Trisor himself.
    I think your chain's getting yanked.

  • I always presumed it was a nod to Gathering which is an old games company. Maybe one of the staff will enlighten us.

    EDIT: Ah I see the post explaining it has been found.
    EDIT TWO: My presumption does make sense, the full name of the company was Gathering of Developers which got them the nickname God Games.

  • MaryLiLamb is an agent sent by the liars, the heathens, the heretics. They speak lies to cloud our minds and numb our imagination.

    No amount of l33t speak will hide the thruth.

    Links are the way of the liars, follow them and be fooled.

    There is no GOD, only GIANTS.

    Cosma be praised.

  • Don't believe anything Marylillamb says;)

    We all know god is really dog backwards, but wanted to find out the truth and so typed 'Who is God in Glitch the game?" into Yahoo.

     This is the result
    (See start of 3rd paragraph)

    We are all God!

    Case closed for Sherlock Cleops [Smokes pipe]. It's elemental pouch my dear Watson.

  • I always thought God stood for Get Off, Dammit.  Because of comments he made during the reset.

  • I was amused when a friend once explained it to me as "Giant On Duty".  :)
