EVG posted:B! We don't really know if society here is necessarily patriarchal. Maybe Diog can clarify. Soylent Pudding posted:Keep in mind it sounds like we're not going to be at the top of the totem pole, so it should be a very different experience as a divine being if we go with "A". I'm quite optimistic it would be interesting playing as some lesser divine power playing at heavenly political intrigue. I'm guessing we'll at one point have the choice of choosing whether or not to join Not-Lucifer's rebellion. ConfusedPig fucked around with this message at 03:06 on May 20, 2013 |

1. Abstain, because I simply can't decide  2. L. I'm hoping this doesn't screw us over in the long run if the gods are in a free for all war or El and Asherah don't get along. Is it possible to ask Jalitha next chance we get what El and co. think of Asherah?

Um guys, may I suggest that there is a possibility that the the tooth might be trapped/cursed/act as a GPS tracking device for a very pissed of Asherah? Option H seems way too much 'superior' to option A. I vote   , Trying to attack dudes with actual frickin' metal swords without any actual priest powers is suicidal, it didn't help Shushem who had genuinely impressive gently caress-you-with-lightning spells. And there's nothing left for us here, we would be even more of an outcast then before, and it seems Jalitha really is our mother.

You guys might want to come to an agreement whether to vote A or H. If everyone votes for one of them, then it'l probably win, but if you people are split between A and H, then both options will lose, despite the general sentiment being that we should leave with the outsiders. Or maybe Diog will count both A and H together towards leaving with Jalitha, and take the tooth if there are more H then A votes. e: grammar

Look at it this way, we can go with the outsiders, grow up among them and learn their ways, find out what everybody's intentions are, and then use that to exact revenge upon the king/Jalitha/whoever we want. maybe we can return one day to the coast to unite the Asherah-worshipping fishing villages into one great tribe (using the tooth as some sign of credibility), and with the help of potentially greater education received from the Baitel people, kick some major rear end. Now, I'm not sure how likely that scenario is, but if you guys are so freakin' revenge-hungry, that's probably the best way to go about it. We don't know how likely we will still be welcome among our own people after this (or if the Tsunami will render them practically non-existent), and if we're exiled, we don't know how to survive in the wilderness. e: SerSpook posted:
The thing is Diog was asked if the creation story in the OP is what happened or is he being an unreliable narrator, and he gave a deliberate non-answer to keep us guessing. All though my gut says that there are probably bigger proverbial fish in the proverbial ocean than Asherah, and frankly, maybe even more powerful than El and co.

Diogines posted:A question, so I understand your response. Another thing, I know you guys are quite bitter we didn't do the infinitely stupid option of attacking a 7.5-foot tall guy with an actual sword while we are 11 years old and armed with an ersatz knife, but could you try not to sabotage the game for everyone else? I'm not saying that is your intent this time, but this is an incredibly bad idea and we get very little for it, we also might get Jalitha in trouble for that kind of thing (although that just might motivate you guys even more to insult him). If you guys are so desperate for vengeance, at least wait for us to grow up and learn some actual leadership/fighting/whatever skills, and if we decide our character harbors a grudge against this king guy, we could try to instigate some kind of revolution, or go back and unite the Asherah-worshipping people and wage a full-on war (although since they have no experience fighting other people I don't know how likely that is).

Theglavwen posted:"poo poo, if we say anything slightly provocative to this 'benevolent king' as a confused 11 year old who just watched his dad beheaded, it might turn out he's a royal dick who beats kids. Don't rock the boat you fools!" Who the gently caress ever said he is 'benevolent'??? From his point of view, he just got out of a fight he didn't really want to have and he saved one of his kind and her son from (what would look like to anybody to his culture) demon worshippers, while he was just looking for trading partners. I'm not saying he we should kiss his rear end, we should just try to fit in until we grow up and are in a better position to be sassy/exact precise revenge (if you guys will still want to do that by then). Being insulting will get us nothing and just put us into trouble, or just put Jalitha into trouble, which would be pointlessly petty. If you guys want to 'test his character' we will see what kind of person he is soon enough without the need to dig our own grave.

Theglavwen posted:I'm suspicious of this Labaras dude; how oddly placed he seems in an otherwise El-centric narrative. Going to be keeping an 'eye' on mentions of him. He's probably the Jesus/Moses Analogue of this world. Also, I'm extremely wary of praying to both gods, and not deciding now who to believe. I'm worried that will make us seem indecisive and of weak faith to both gods, causing both of them to reject us. The 'praying to both gods' option wasn't even suggested directly by Diog, not this time, not even the last time while we were still living in Athar.

Mr Apollo posted:Since this vote seems to be setting up long term events I would like to point out to those of you who are voting for both that in Dante's Inferno the cowardly who aren't on either side have a most unpleasant existence. To add to what I said earlier, either go full El, or full Asherah, trying to get liked by both is probably not a good idea, they are probably at odds with each other anyway.

Genpei Turtle posted:Sure it's a bad thing. To us, 21st century modern people. To Og/Enkidel? If his society was cannibalistic that taboo surely wasn't as ingrained into him as it would be to us. His mom was surely against it but for the great majority of Og's life she was just some nice lady that lived with his uncle. Same thing goes with his dad beating him for disobedience--that's a bad thing to us, (well, bad but not shocking to me since when I was a kid it was something pretty much all parents did) but to him it would just be a "normal" thing for a village elder to do since he doesn't have any outside reference to indicate otherwise. Diog mentioned multiple times that beatings were something only our dad did only to us (and Jalitha), so Og/Enkidel would have definitely noticed something was weird, and nobody in the village really even liked Shushem that much. Also, I think you're way undervaluing Jailtha. She isn't some 'nice lady', She is the prime source of love and affection in Og's/Enkidel's life until now, paying us more attention than even ex-mom (now we see why), we might not have voted to spend that much time with her in the 4 to 10 year period, that's because we thought we needed a male role model in the form of Jorah, and we spent time with Shushem out of a reluctant sense of duty (People were thinking "Since we are the next priest it would be irresponsible not at least try to learn his lessons", not "Oh yeah, dad is totally great!")
