I am in #madgod on mibbit, but no one is there. What have I done wrong? (The list is long and I am only interested in the IRV at the moment.)

In order for a contract to exist there must be offer, acceptance, consideration, and intent to create legal relations. There was certainly no intent on our part to create legal relations when we stumbled across this guy, whatever he may be able to argue on the other points. If there's no contract then neither of us owes the other anything. He claims that this is his land but there is no boundary marking it as such, does he have any legal documents to back up the contention that the land is his? (if he doesn't then say the following) "I Enkidu of Zepath, being sound of mind and body, and in the presence of witnesses do claim this land in the name of His royal majesty King Tudiya of Zepath, for the glory of El, our lord and master. In accordance with the universal law of finders keepers I name this land Enkidustan. El be praised." All this dude has is his own authority, and he never really officially staked a claim. We can invoke royal authority, which is itself derived from divine authority. jazzyhattrick fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Sep 29, 2013 |

You need to get on the right network, look for the one called synirc.net. By default, mibbit sends you to the mibbit server. Click on the box which says Mibbit [Webirc] and change it to synirc.

Can you say your name backwards? About the goats, surely you kid right? Ram-ing such jokes down my throat is a bit mean. If we went to get a goat, skined it, and made a hat out of its horns, and then put all of that on Snarls to make him look more like a goat, would that be worth more to you? How about if I put on the costume?

 The sun is high, it is hot and water, far away, there is not even any shade available to you.  In response to Azazel you... A. Give him your beloved dog, in exchange for wonderful food, drink, a gem encrusted robe and the "song sof Xephaim" for a month! Party on! B. Accept his offer to teach you divine secrets and/or magic in exchange for your mother, your wife, your daughter and one of your balls. C. Decline his offers and walk away towards the treeline. It is probably two or three days away and Snarls seems certain it is the closest source of water. It is probably not close enough, even if you are ridiculously stubborn and seem pretty tough, your dog is not. Snarls probably won't make it. D. Beg for help for you. E. Beg for help for Snarls. F. Bargain something of great value in the future to help you. G. Bargain something of great value in the future to help Snarls. H. Attack him! I. Something else. Fill in. Voting ends either tonight if there is a consensus of some sort on what to do next and if not, tomorrow. Diogines fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Sep 29, 2013 |

C. Just walk away and ignore him. Run harder if he follows us. Once he is out of sight, try to make a shelter and wait until nightfall, then keep walking until you find water.

Why do you deny that El has dominion over you? Azzazel, your deal is a non starter for us. You could offer us the entire world and the dominion over it, and I would not accept it. Enjoy your land, if you could point us to where it ends I think Snarls and I should be on our way. El be with you.Changed vote! see below.

I- The Test propose a test in which he freely gives us the knife, robe and gourd for the duration (as detailed above). Then leave. The test of whether we could have killed him lasts the rest of our lives or his existence, during which we remain in possession of said artifacts. Detail of negotiating strategy and progression. Everything before the test is more or less posturing. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3550307&pagenumber=238#post419977586 Sogol fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Sep 29, 2013 |

 You know what. C is pretty solid choice, but since Diog is stressing that Snarls will probably die without help now, there's another option.We will offer ourselves, Enkidel, until the next sunrise and will not resist anything done to ourselves but will not hurt others during this period. In exchange, Azzazel will protect, feed, and water Snarls until Snarls safely returns home to our room in Zepath. Let's be big drat sacrificial heroes. removed my earlier vote for C LLSix fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Sep 29, 2013 |

Azazel, Labaras surely had no connection or attachment to some random goat. Why would you have wanted it? Is it because, in this wasteland, literally anything is better than the nothing you have? Are you lonely or bitter?

Forget my votes. I don't know what to do. My idea is still below: Barter to lend him Snarls--not give--in exchange for the bottle and knife. If he won't give us the stuff, then freely lend him Snarls. He can return Snarls by leaving Snarls at the edge of the forest. Thank him and depart for the forest immediately, which is outside his domain (wastes and deserts). This is the only way I could think of keeping Snarls alive and getting him back.

I offer to personally save Snarls if one of you makes decent fanart of Enkidel's conversation with Zaz. I am as trustworthy as Azzazzel AND I'm offering to save Snarls at a much more affordable price. I didn't offer any proof of my ability to do that, but come on, do you really think I'd do something as abominable as not fulfilling my promise, once I get what I need from you?

Just pick up Snarls and walk to the treeline. That should help keep him alive. Also punch him in the dick. Anyone with a plan or contingency of tricking or being cruel to Azzazel has my support.

Voting C: Walk away toward the treeline, just like we did in the Sharkdad dream/vision. As far as Snarls goes, we can try and carry him. The sandals make it so we won't get tired from walking, even if do we need to take breaks from carrying now and then.
