Diogines posted:I am acknowledging your question! It is an excellent question! I am intentionally not answering it! Read my refusal to answer as a confirmation or a denial to your question, however you so may choose! Do you ever spend about an hour or two writing an update, only to find on a recount the winning vote has changed and you have to start over? That must be kind of frustrating. I'm surpised you don't close the vote while you're writing, actually.

That happened several times last game. When it happened, I laughed and re-wrote them. Don't worry about that possibility, make the votes you want to make.

Still held by your uncle, here, at the outskirts of the village you point towards your home and wail at the top of your lungs, tears now freely flowing you yell "SAVE JALITHA!" then fall into a good old fashioned hysterical wail that you have been fighting to hold back. You have managed to somewhat clearly communicate what you needed to an adult despite all of the horror you have just endured and should feel good about yourself for being able to do so under immense stress! This is a feat very, very few children your age could have managed! Your confused uncle Jorah, who thought he somehow hit you with a tree, realizes that he has not. He wipes the blood from your eyes. With one arm he continues to hold you as you wail and with the other, he grabs his axe. He runs back towards the village proper and towards your home, bringing you with him. Jalitha lay upon the dirt, bloodied and bruised, your father yelling at her unmoving form while shaking some sort of enormous tooth at her. You have seen it before. Your father wears it all the time on a necklace and it is VERY sharp! Your mother appears and grabs you from Jorah then takes you into a house, not yours, several other women are inside and they look afraid. Your mother tries to calm you down and wash the blood from your face. You have never seen anyone hit anyone else in the village before, even when people are very mad, which is rare. Nothing like this has happened before though your father is often mean to Jalitha. You have difficulty hearing exactly what is said as your father and uncle yell at each other outside but after a few moments your father comes into the hut, snatches you from your mothers arms and drags you outside. Jorah is standing over Jalitha, axe in his hand and fire in his eyes as he looks at your father with hatred. Your father drags you beside her and now tears stream down HIS face! Your father holds out a hand in the direction of the beach and cries out "My son! My son! This witch has defiled you in the eyes of Asherah! Oh my son! My son! Asherah! Forgive him!" Your FATHER is crying? He is made of stone and never in his life has cried, or cared about you but he seems to be doing both now. He presses the enormous tooth he had into your hands and forces you to grip it on the top.  "Grip tightly my son and CUT! Beg that Asherah will not hold you to account for the crimes of this witch!" your father says as he kneels over Jalitha and pulls her strange and pretty hair out straight for you to cut. Jalitha's eyes open and she looks at you, she is still alive. She tries to smile but her face is badly bruised and her lips are bleeding. "It will be okay Sweetling" she says to you in a gentle tone. You... OPTION A Fall down and sob hysterically because you are a young child and this has been a highly traumatic experience! OPTION B Cry, try cut her hair and try to scream out pleadingly to Ashera between tears. OPTION C Try to cut her hair and try to summon all of your willpower and self control to try your hardest to not cry or say nothing. OPTION D Try to tell your father no, which, is likely to take the form of you dropping the tooth and crying, or stammering. OPTION E Try to run back to your mother. OPTION F Try to run behind your uncle. OPTION G Try to stab your father in the leg with the tooth. OPTION H Try to slit your fathers throat, he is bent over, holding her hair out and thus low down enough to try it. OPTION I Try to slit Jalithas throat. OPTION J Try something else. Write what you want to do. Please try to keep it appropriate for your age and experience. If you want to, feel free to join us on irc #madgod on synirc.net.

B With any luck it'll get Dad to chill out, not really bother Jalitha herself (since her religion apparently doesn't care about the hair thing), and maybe even get us a couple points with Ashera.

Voting C. No offense to our fish god, but I feel like crying and making this into even more of a scene would demoralize Jalitha more, and further sour the opinion of her in the eyes of our father. We are not hurt, we are okay. Let's show we know she meant no harm from it, even if our father won't accept that.

I say we go with C, no harm will come to her since it's hair, but we don't need to freak out about it and this is not very violent and still might calm everyone down.

Walkin Goon posted:Voting C. Eh...yeah, but in fairness, Jalitha did pull a seriously dick move cutting our hair when she knew it was prohibited in the faith of the village. The whole thing was a bit Edgardo Mortara for my taste. Absolutely we need to keep her from being beaten again, but I don't feel any reason we should avoid crying out to our god on her behalf.

A I don't want us to do anything that our father wants us to do. As far as we can tell, he seems like a bad man. Sounds like Jorah hates him also, so its not like his athority is unchallenged in the village. As a four year old that that has had an extremely traumatic day, the easist way to not do what he wants is to simply break down and start wailing. Which nobody should hold against us either.

B is making the most sense to me. Uncle Jorah has obviously done something to calm Dad and now Dad is fairly calm in comparison to a few moments ago and is showing a form of genuine concern for us even if we don't fully understand why. We're obviously gonna still be upset from what happened but Dad is paying attention to us now and wants us to do something and we've probably heard him going on and on about this Asherah fish guy quite a lot given his position in the village and he's worried we've upset them so best to ask for some forgiveness and do what Dad says.

  Negative vote for C, hoping people vote for something strong like G or H. We have to stand up for ourselves, this is the time to do it; during our formative years. We can't bend now, our future will be bleak. May22[18:42::28]Wednesday <Osroct> "What a pimp kid. Let us make him King Fishtown."
