Stopping a fight doesn't mean 'murdering one or both of the participants'. We have know idea how low on the social rung slaves are round here, or how big a blasphemy hair cutting is, we do know all other gods are demons to our people and our daddy's the priest. We have no clue what our dad and his brother argue about but it may not be religion, and if that's the case, witches get stitches is something they'll agree on. We'll have to live our whole childhood with this guy let's not try to get him to resent us through all of it. GloriousDemon fucked around with this message at 05:10 on May 22, 2013 |

She's crying out for El, who I'm assuming is Yahweh, but who our people think is a demon. The high priest's brother probably isn't going to condone this blasphemy any more than he does. whether they argue or no. Odds are, if we scream for help, he'll interpret it as "help, this heathen witch just cut me!", then pick up her knife and gut her before anyone has any chance to explain anything. Dad is a massive dick, and won't listen to our pleas if we try to dissuade him. Let's try to get on the side of the One God early, and at least put up an attempt at saving her ourselves. C

Changing from C to D. Not because a solid dick punch isn't still the proper course, but we need to dogpile an option that is "take some control of your own destiny" and not "run away and ask someone else to face the challenge."

Dude, we're four. Also Onegods are always dicks. Going H, it's the best option that's likely to win. He may stop it before the girl is beaten to death, which I'm counting as a win in this situation. Beating slaves is ok, killing them is usually a no-no.

Walkin Goon posted:Voting D Gonna go ahead and change my vote here to Option F. Thinking about it, I don't think we should be looking to antagonize anyone in this situation, even if Dad's a dick. While I doubt he will take a 4 year old's word seriously over "demons" and the "WITCH", hopefully we can convince him that we told her to do it because dammit, that hair was getting in our eyes and we are a stupid kid who doesn't know any better. Anything to get Jalitha off the hook, while still sparing us from a royal beating that results in Dad hating our guts. Walkin Goon fucked around with this message at 07:49 on May 22, 2013 |

Walkin Goon posted:Gonna go ahead and change my vote here to Option F. Y'know what? This guy's got a point. Self-sacrifice is still more noble than running off to let our betters handle it, and it lays the foundation for the kind've guy we want to be. Maybe if you'd told us a goddamn thing, Dad, we wouldn't do these things. I mean, we're nonly gonna be High Priest some day! If the last game taught us anything, it's that priests are well-intentioned liars, and that's the kinda skillset we need to cultivate early, 'cause there is a One True Creator God, and it's not ours, so we'll need to be both virtuous and cunning. changing my vote to F UppaTree fucked around with this message at 08:21 on May 22, 2013 |

Guys, Uncle might see our bleeding head and cut hair and think Jalitha attacked us. He probably doesn't know her well. Instead, G. Because running for his mother isn't something that's going to get a four-year-old in trouble, and she might be able to calm her husband down/realize it was a mistake. I think our father's just gonna shove us out of the way and keep hitting Jalitha if we try and deal with this ourselves, because we're FOUR. Hell, it might even make him angrier.

More than likely when she sees us come screaming about how Jalitha is being beaten by Dad when our hair is lopped off and there is blood on our face she'll shepard us off away from the sea-witch to let her husband work. List is current as of now but it's 3:30ish in the morning so who knows what could happen!? Successful Businessmanga fucked around with this message at 09:25 on May 22, 2013 |

C We won't be able to hold him back but maybe we'll distract him enough to stop beating the hell out of her. I don't like saying sorry for something we're not guilty of, screaming at him won't accomplish anything and god knows what uncle might do. She's been with us for at least 4 years so she must know most of our traditions, she has some ulterior motive but whether it's good or bad is anyone's guess.

Sucrose posted:Guys, Uncle might see our bleeding head and cut hair and think Jalitha attacked us. He probably doesn't know her well. Running for anyone is a bad idea because we don't know how they will react or who they are. This is also a big decision that will shape how we are seen and treated by the village and our father, so let's take some responsibility and go for F. This also ensures we don't gently caress over a family relationship by trying to cockpunch our dad or beat up a slave or even get our uncle / mother estranged with our dad.

Changing my vote from E to D I guess, they're more or less the same, and D seems to be getting more weight, so I'll help it out. I think it's distinctly worse, since it runs the risk of us just getting smacked, or Dad getting pissed for us laying hands on him and trying to force his actions, but ... meh.

Stopping a fight doesn't mean 'murdering one or both of the participants'. I'm saying if he does challenge his older brother on this, it's not something dad can just let go. He's the priest and has to able to assert his authority.

Voting H Jalitha seems to be a lot more of a caregiver than our Father and was very central to raising us from birth. We don't have to oppose Father directly but Uncle Jorah may be able to. Additionally, he might be able to explain to little 4 year old us what happened so we can be better informed. Also, if Jalitha dies, we won't get our seaweed cakes!

I don't think F really shifts the blame away from Jalitha at all. Father dearest literally caught her in the act, there's no way we are going to be able to take the rap for this. Jumping on the H train, not to be a dirty tattler but I don't really see a better way to stop our dad from killing her. Obviously we don't know how slaves are treated in the village, and she's in the wrong according to our faith, but he might be able to at least save her life. We need to appeal to the "higher power" of our uncle to save her.

Dio posted:She takes the stone knife and begins to cut your hair. You are not afraid. You know she would NEVER hurt you and oh boy, seaweed cakes! She starts to sing strange words as she cuts your hair, they don't sound like words anyone speaks but her song is very pretty. Just quoting this for those that think F has a chance of working. Certainly if he hadn't seen what had gone down I'd be all for trying to take the blame, but he is going to completely ignore us based on what he just saw happening. We need someone in here who actually has a chance of getting dad off of her and giving him a chance to cool down.
