I kinda want Enkidel to make a compilation of Snarls' name for people and things, maybe write a book.

Snarl's ability to 'make a face' that causes food to spontaneously drop is as good as any Vayahi Orring we have done. He might be a sorcerer.

The "ask Snarls what people smell like as we meet them" plan got enough support to incorporate it into future updates. If you want a full list in one go, it will take the place of an update.

For my two cents, I think it would probably be more entertaining to spread it out, as well as more useful to know the smell when you deal with people, but I do not get a vote.

My notion was to build it as we go. Maybe give Snarl's a standing job of letting us know if people smell funny or he feels bad about them.

Iirc he told us Azz looked funny, but smelled good.

No matter which way you slice it, logical reason or no, we DID break her heart, and I doubt she was able to get any closure over it since it's not like she could really talk to anybody about it.

I don't know if splitting up with a teenage fling of a few months is really the life-altering, ego-shattering, existential-angsting calamity you're making it out to be :cheeky: I'm sure she was sad, but people get over breakups, particularly when there's an obviously good reason. We may have 'broken her heart' in a temporary and time-heals-all-wounds sort of way, but were we wrong to do so? It had to be done, I'm not sure it's the sort of thing we should be prepared to do a massive amount of apologizing over, nor that she ought to be expecting us to.

Eh, I don't think it's so much a case of her requiring a perfectly robotic beep-boop logical outlook on the thing, and more that even people who feel legitimately sad and wish things had gone the other way are still, on the whole, reasonable people. You can simultaneously feel sadness and regrey yet still acknowledge the reasons why things happened, particularly with years of distance between yourself and the event; at the very least, I don't think she'd still be holding grudges, set to derail the emotional rollercoaster unless we come grovelling and recanting all our past rationale. I'd hope, if anything, she'd be happy that things have changed, like, presumably, we are.

I suppose we'll see when we meet her though.

Also voting for update I guess.

I am counting votes.

Question 1 is:

1. Why are you going to go see Naomi?
A. Just to say hi.
B. To show off a bit about my glorious conquest and rise in stature, in a way meant to impress.
C. To show off a bit about my glorious conquest and rise in stature, but not to impress.
D. To find out if she still cares for me, but I do not outright ask.
E. To find out if she still cares for me, I do outright ask.
F. To apologize for rejecting her.
G. Something else. Fill in.


Question 1 is currently sitting at:
(12 votes)
AD-8
D-4

versus

(11 votes)
EF-10
E-1

Excluding a handful of other votes for other options.

It is not a tie, but the voting is close enough. I will keep voting open for another 20 minutes. New votes fire away. Anyone who wants to change their votes, go ahead, but please post what your old vote was.
AD is to say hello and to find out if she still cares for you, but you do not ask.
EF is to ask her if she still ares for you and to apologize for rejecting her.

All other questions are closed.

Just curious, how is that tallied? Would that end up with a D - 12, E - 11, F - 10, A - 8 sort of thing, or are the D's in AD considered separately from the solo D's, etc?

Still think rejecting is a pretty strange word. Wasn't a case of rejecting her advances or interest, really, was a case of feeling we couldn't proceed because of our respective situations, without hurting us both. *shrug*.

When people lump voted together, I count them together, where it makes sense.

An "AB" vote is not counted as a "vote for A" and a "vote for B" but for "AB", which may as well be a new option. If we counted them separate, people select extra options would have their votes count for more. Sometimes they get split up, or similar options get grouped, depending on the question, sometimes one of the multiple elements of a vote is the "big" factor and the rest is window dressing.

It varies vote to vote.

As of right now we are at:

(13)
AD-9
D-4

versus

(14)
E-1
EF-13



With 5 other votes which fall outside of the "ask her or do not" dynamic, which is the real difference between D and EF.
A-3
B-1
AGF-1
