The Game of Godis a free online RPG created by Erik Walle. In this game the players are leaders of a religeon. They go around the countryside constructing churches, destroying their rivals' churches and fighting monsters. Certain actions give the players pope points, which are similar to Experience points from other RPGs. The points are traded at the village in the centre of the map for skills and items, such as the way of the Ninja, walking on water and Godzilla eggs. The most powerful player is given the title of Pope, and gets special powers, such as faster movement. However, the Pope is often the target of other player's attacks, as destroying the Popes churches and killing the Pope are the best ways to gain pope points"
