My "Devotional" to the #idle Gods of Genesis (#idleGOG a.k.a. #DarkGenesis) | #CompulsiveListMaking, using @FacebookGaming @ResearchManiacs | #idleness #idler #idly

Well, I'm playing it on Facebook; but 'the designers explain it more' at the page linked-to through "that word" below (tho the designers misspell 'Genesis' and call their creation a "WONDERFUL GAME VIDEO" (where I'm sure they mean 'WONDERFUL VIDEO-GAME')).

I'll go into 'compulsively listing the characters-etc. from the game' below the Subscribe-bar; but What I show first is 'the group of words' that give "that word" a place to connect to your vocabulary ... deeper sources that firm the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Idle” is built on the same 'unknown origin' as the ancient words that mean |Empty, Worthless, Vain, Useless, |Mere ... Pure? (probably in the 'immature'-sense rather than the sense of 'honest & righteous).

The game is a Role-Playing Game (RPG) in which the player is 'the manager' of a team of supernatural beings who--having nothing better to do--gather in teams & guilds, and battle other teams and guilds and various creatures/deities---building their individual strengths & finding weapons & armor & trinkets/lucky-charms & curios/also-lucky-charms (and possibly other magic devices) to amplify their power.

I'll start listing ...
  • Characters 
    • Friends
      • Main Team-Members (whom the game calls "Heroes"):
        • Fezz, Darktide Merfolk
        • Caine, Lionhearted
        • Xiang-Yu, Hegemon-King (or is that 'King of the Hegemon'?)
        • Mammon, Demon of Avarice
        • Baldr, God of Light
        • Frigg, the Revelator
        • Tyr, Indomitable God
        • XiShi, Beauty of Legend
        • Tutankhamun, Great Pharoah
        • Brynhild, Valkyrie of Swords (whose "Upgrade"-sound (when you're 'charging her up' between levels-50 & -75) might damage your speakers if they're above 'Quiet' 😖)
        • Leviathan, Demon of Envy
        • Gulana, Sacred Sword
        • Moana, Assassin
        • Sindar, a mermaid-creature known as a Solent
        • Hephaestus, God of Fire
        • Gawain, Sun Knight
        • Varus, Voice of Death
        • Merlin, Archmage (who might be better-named 'Merlina')
      • Other Players (whom you meet in the game and put on your (in game) friend-list, with whom you share 'Cheese' (see Tools below), and maybe some advice via chat)
    • Enemies (Mostly Non-Player Characters (NPCs) or maybe 'other players chosen semi-randomly')---arranged by 'where you battle them'
      • The Arena (where players from around the world station their best character-teams to defend their rank, and using that team to challenge the stationed defenders & rise in rank)
      • The God-Lamp Boss (you come & rub the magic lamp (a limited number of times every day), and battle the god that rises from the lamp- or help friends battle the gods that rise from their lamps-and are rewarded for your effort)
      • The Abysses: all just gradually-more-difficult lists of NPC-teams you have your teams battle for the victory-rewards.
        • Eternal Abyss
        • Inferno Abyss - opens after you reach Floor-800 of Eternal Abyss or Your Heroes reach Level 120
        • Elemental Abyss - opens after reaching floor-300
      • Guild Conquest - basically, you submit your top characters to fight for your Guild; and the computer throws `em into battle with other Guilds ... 
        • ... I guess---I haven't been playing this for very long, and only just now realized 'you gotta submit ALL THREE 3-PERSON TEAMS AT ONCE' (I tried to submit one of the 3-person teams without the other two, and the program WOULDN'T LET ME ... it said "You need to deploy at least one hero," and I didn't know it meant 'at least 1 ON THE OTHER TWO TEAMS YOU'RE SUBMITTING' 🤦)
      • Zodiac Maze - like The Abysses, 24 levels of gradually-tougher NPC-teams (except these are reset everyday, where the Abyss-levels are mostly one-&-done) Each stage wins you more Coins & more Roses (you can spend at the Zodiac Maze Store)

        If your starting team is partially- or totally vanquished, you can replace defeated members with other characters & keep on defeating enemies in the ZM, using-Olive Branches to revive your top characters when they're all vanquished & -up to 3 Assistant NPCs provided after you've beaten a few stages.
        • Normal or Hell - the first 12 stages of the Zodiac Maze (each stage named after an astrology-sign ... the Hell stages are available after you've cleared all 24 stages TEN TIMES)
        • Nightmare - the second 12 stages, each named 'Dark [Astrology-Sign]'
      • Ruin Hunt - assorted dungeons where you hunt for treasures, most of which are guarded by NPC-enemies
      • Regular Deployment
        • The Worlds - series of stages where you meet NPC-teams in battle, with rewards for winning
          • Khufu
          • Tut's Tomb
          • Nile River
          • Hanging Gardens of Babylon
          • Qatif Oasis
          • Obelisk
          • Mummy Cavern
          • Nubian Temple
          • Akhmim Temple
          • Solar Ship
          • Stonehenge
          • Great Wall
          • Loulan Ancient City
          • Statue of Olympian Zeus
          • Khufull (or is that 'Khufu Ⅱ'??)
          • Tut's Tomb Ⅱ (I see it now)
          • Nile River Ⅱ
          • etc. etc. (the list repeats ... the rest with Ⅱ, than with III, IV, ... I'm not sure how high it goes)
        • The Hero Crusade - where you select certain of your Heroes to do tasks, earning you rewards when they return ... paying them with Drumsticks you win from battles in The Worlds
  • Friendly Locations:
    • Shops
      • Mystery Shop - where we can trade Coins & Gems for various tools ('stuff')
      • Point Shop - where we can buy stuff with Soulstones
      • Arena Shop - where we can buy stuff with GoldRam Horn won in the Arena
      • Godhood Shop - where we can buy stuff with 'Godhoods' (a special kind of gem you earn at special events)
      • Emblem Shop - ... I dunno; it won't tell me until I'm Level 70
    • The Loot Hunt (which is more like a prize-spinner) - where you can spin-to-win a prize from either the Normal Wheel (by paying with a Normal Scroll) or the Hi-Loot Wheel (paying with a Hi-Loot Scroll)
    • The Summon - where you can add heroes to your team in return for a Hi-Summon Scroll, a Normal-Summon Scroll, or Cheese (that your Friends give you)
    • Elementium - where we can trade in Elemental Hearts for Hero Shards
    • Fusion Temple - where we can fuse low-level heroes into higher-level ones (transforming them into higher gods)
    • Forge - where we can merge our lower level gear into stronger armor & -weapons & -tools
    • Airship - where we can take heroes extra energy and turn it into Soulstones & Crystals etc.
    • Valorheim - where we can place the heroes in Deity ... it does something with their fighting-ability ...
  • Tools:
    • Coins, Roses & 'Drumsticks' (the bird-leg, not the gourd-striker) I mentioned above
