A cult forms around you. How do you react?

Let's say for the sake of argument, that through a series of random coincidences, a group of people, let's say about 500, got it into their heads that you were god and began worshipping you as such. When you found out about this, what would you do next? These people will believe everything you say and do whatever you tell them without question. Would you tell them to go out into the world and do good, or bad, or would you tell them what they believe is untrue, and you aren't god?

Personally, I would tell them I'm not god. I'd be tempted to tell them to do good, but I would hate to be responsible for the lives of so many others and I'd feel awful if one of them did something horrible.

My own personal small army that will obey my every wish because they think I am God? That's like a dream come true :D I guess I would use them to cause chaos here and there.

You act as if that doesn't already happen on a daily basis.

I have to ignore them. It was fun at first, but after a while, I got a little bored with the idea.

I get uncomfortable with the whole 'forum celebrity' thing around here as it is, having a cult form around me would probably make me have an aneurysm.

Order them to build an army of flying monkey people so that they can go and hunt down small dogs for the coming sacri...to build up a collection.

With the crazy villain answer out the way, I'd be confused and likely end up calling the police.

Me, a god to people...nope, not for me. I guess I would start with trying to get them to understand I am just another person, not some god. However if that does not work I guess I would send them out with orders to do as much good as they could, but never return to me or mention my name.

Heck, worst case scenario they blame me for them thinking I am a god and tear me apart into a bloody mess...yeah I really don't want anything like this.

I would simply view them all to be nutters and try to get the authority to arrest them if possible depending how persistant they are. If their persitant are strong and last for long I may give in but to profit from it aswell unless I get arrest from doing that.

I would react....with a chainsaw.

cultists are like zombies, you can brutally murder them without feeling the slightest bit of guilt. Probably because they keep trying to destroy the world.

Although, if it happened in the Fallout Universe? yea, THEN i would lead the cultists and form a doomsday cult because honestly....the vast majority of people in that universe dont deserve to live.

(I should probably mention that im kinda joking)

Make a false religion that requires huge tithes to go to charity. Also, make an awesome conga line.

Well it's about f*cking time someone recognized me as the god I am.
Now let's get to work on making this a better world.

I walk up to their leader and hit him on the head with my false swipe attack. Then I turn to the
others and ask "Cubone cubone bone bone cubone cu cubone?" Which of course is cubone-speak for
"If I were a god, couldn't I have knocked him out with one hit?"

The answer is quite obvious, i'd tell them to convert the unbelievers in order for my cult to grow. And eventually i'll go full Kane (C&C reference)!

After the first rehearsal.

"I know you have a toner, for Jesse."
"A what?"
"A toner. A musical boner. I saw it, at hoodlight; it's distracting."
"Yeah, that's not a thing, and, uh, you're not the boss of me, so..."

The "a what?" part is where the avatar comes from.

Obviously I make them do acts of anarchy such as blowing up credential buildings.]
But since I'm not too keen on doing that, I'll do my best to convince them that I am not god and to think for themselves.

Dunno where they'd get a warped idea like that, but...

I'd explain my life philosophy at length (they are welcome to write it down), maybe try to establish a church of tolerance (any gender, race, orientation, etc.) and say that really my dad is a much better role model for you to emulate. Because he is.

I already have a ready supply of indoctrinated orphans. Add them to the organization I guess.

It'd be a pain to train them though. They might not even be potty trained the filthy fleshbags :(

*sigh* The sacrifices I make

You could surrender peacefully and accept the sweet embrace of The Injustice League's Chaos. We promise to relieve you of your burden >:)
