Featured Deity

I had an idea for getting more posts at TLT. So here's the proposal: We should feature a god or goddess every week (or more frequently?) and members can post information and pictures or whatever about them in the library or a special thread for this purpose...and those who participate can get a gem token, for being a good scholar? What do you think?

There's a few points I think we could discuss. One is how frequently a new deity will be featured. I think a week is the longest it should be, because member interest will probably drop off after a few days if we don't keep changing it frequently. My other question is, what culture's gods and goddesses will we feature? Greek, definitely, but I thought it would be fun to do some near-eastern ones like Ishtar and the Hittite deities too, since Troy is a mix of Greek and Near-Eastern religions.

As you already know, Deia, I love your ideas! How frequent a deity should be featured; a day wouldn’t be long enough but past a week would be too long. I’m not sure. What do you think? A variety of cultures’ gods and goddesses should be featured since it will interest members more! That brings up another matter too; should we create a new thread for it or should it be held at Meeting of the Minds?

Wow! I love that idea. I think a week would be long enough to feature a god or goddess. I also think its a good idea to post not only Greek gods but other ones as well.

I was also thinking some more about the thread question; I think we should create a new thread to avoid confusion with other threads. Also, how about the MoBs take turns weekly (or whatever the time frame is) posting which god or goddess is featured, so that one MoB isn’t stuck doing it all the time? What do you think?

Yes, I do think a new thread would be necessary to avoid confusion. And your idea about taking turns on posting the featured god or goddess will work perfectly, Ary.

So, now we just need Erigone’s input then, although it’s safe to say that she’ll most likely agree. :-)

*LOL* I was about to ask when we should start featuring deities when I realized we were waiting to hear from Erigone. Should we continue to wait or should we move forward?
