To make an interesting start of it, I'm proposing a little challenge.
When he came around last time (it was on jconserv, you'll find no record of it here) Ighalli let us play with an experimental god system. The DEVs have acknowledged it, and it is to be in IVAN (eventually). It did two things:
1. Let you choose what effect/gift to get when you pray to a god, the list getting longer with better things as you gain favour
2. A timer for prayers
What appears to be the code for the timer is here:

Your challenge is to try and recreate the system based on the information above. Sharing information with your fellow coders is encouraged.
Good luck!
