Overview Georgia is, as far as she's concerned, more Editor-in-Chief than god. While she is occasionally tough on her worshippers, it's very much in an efficient, strict boss way rather than in a going-to-smite-you way. Tiers (16 pts) TIER 1: Basic texting and phones work. There is a newspaper and a radio station. Universal translation works with the effectiveness of google translate. Postal service functions. TIER 2 (25 pts): Internet communication is available. There are blogs and podcasts. Emojis are available. Georgia's spreadsheet magically updates. Universal translation works actually well. TIER 3 (75 pts): Autocorrect only fucks up if it's going to be completely hilarious. Texting/emailing the wrong person is rare. Letters and packages rarely get lost in the mail. Languages are easier to learn. Idioms make sense. Sarcasm is clear. TIER 4 (150 pts): Blogs are actually profitable. Fake news sites get shut down fast. Forums are well-moderated. If there's a method of communication from a characters' home they miss, they can find/recreate it. Phones and computers stay charged. TIER 5 (250 pts): People can have reasonable debates on the internet. Comment sections do not make you hate humanity. Handwriting is consistently legible. Grammar books are descriptive, not prescriptive.

Temple

The Temple of Communication looks a whole lot like a bullpen of a news organization. Though most of the desks are empty now, they all have computers at them as well as notebooks, audio recording devices, and cameras. Georgia's inner sanctum looks like an office and her throne is an especially fancy office chair. There are weapons and recording equipment everywhere.

Worship & Offerings

Her worshippers must stay informed by reading the news. They are forbidden from lying for any reason, though omission for the sake of privacy or discretion is allowed. Offerings come in the form of caffeine or stories.

Demigods & Followers

Shaun Mason is her high priest. There is one other priest, an old woman who is not especially used to Georgia's style of communication god, but she is working to adjust.
