He actually kills off more people than GRR Martin. But doesn't get the credit for it these days.

That vengeful tendency probably was inherited from his divine predecessor, the Chimpanzee god.

Because he's on the lam and there are no most wanted posters?

How many names does their God have?

[QUOTE=davar55;384177]How many names does their God have?[/QUOTE]

I should have posted the list (I don't really have one).
I understand it might be 9,000,000,000.

In the GRR Martin world, there are Seven Gods, and one has [U]many[/U] names.

So if we add the number of names in that fictional world
to the number in the real, actual, non-supernatural
world (I estimate that as some integer in the range ( minus one, plus one ) ),
do we get 9,000,000,000 ?

Nobody can know all the names of The Stranger.

A list. A list. My kingdom for a list.

Well, if I can't get a list of names of God for my kingdom,
can someone send at least a few and I'll phylum?

Are you trying to bring about the end of the universe by compiling All the Names? I read a story like that, where computer engineers assisted some Tibetan sect with their quest. The IT guys speculate about getting out of town before the computer run ends, and it becomes clear that it did not work.

The last line is approximately, "Overhead, the stars were quietly going out."
