Hi I'm gonna post some survey stuff Something a little less complex, also not at all relevant to the current vote. Keep in mind this data is as of when we left with our balls. Seems like a bit longer than just a week or whatever ago. Ok now I'm gonna complicate it by comparing it to the team data... This one's much harder to look at. Better to focus on one color at a time. You might've noticed the lack of single votes and the shortening of long votes. This is 'cause I turned on logarithmic scaling. Makes it a lil easier to read. Club dudes are down with El, Azazzel, and magic, generally. Two of the three sword bros are on "No Team." I happen to be one of these two people. Bow, the red line, is so popular I'm not sure if anything can be extrapolated from this. Medium Spear goes rather traditionally with teams not in direct conflict with El, or more precisely what Tudiya wouldn't consider evil. That being all but Magic and Asherah. The single Javelin vote was from Team Asherah The single Long Spear vote was from Team El The single Ax vote was by someone who put their name as "gently caress off with the background". They were also on Team Asherah. DCBomB fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Feb 12, 2014 |

You tell Ishamal, the ancient (immortal?) hero who has been the adviser of at least four generations of Zepath's kings and sometimes stands in for Tudiya, who went beneath Bareen's temple alone to face demons and who saved you from Asherah, that you wish Azzazel's counsel. Ishamal sighs and says "As you will, but do not put overly much stock in the words of the mad. He is not evil intentioned but that does not make his counsel wise, or safe." You fetch your cloak, spear and bow and then fetch an adorable baby goat from your father's pens. It looks up at you, yawns and goes back to sleep, leaning against you.  You wrap it against you with your cloak and leave Zepath with Snarls beside you. The night is dark and as you walk alongside the river you are serenaded by the flowing water and the sounds of insects.  After a few hours you reach the goat head shaped rock at the rivers edge. You see a fourteen foot tall figure with two sets of wings dressed in a fantastical garment made of gold, silver, platinum, precious gems and other materials you do not recognize, surrounded by a flock of goats who seem to be swaying happily at a strange music. Azzazel appears to be pointing at the stars with his pointer fingers and going "Pew pew pew pew pew!" With each "Pew!" a star twinkles and the effect is beautiful music. He stops as you approach, walks over and gives you a big hug.  "Ah! Creature! So nice to see you again! And how you have grown! Come to see me before your big day? Oh! Is she for me?" You nod and hand Azzazel the sleeping goat. He gives a big "Dawwwwww!" and strokes the goat's back while speaking baby talk to it. "Who has the cutest hoofie woofies? Oh yes you do! Oh yes you do!" This goes on for the better part of ten minutes. Finally Azzazel looks to you and says "How precious! I will name her Sparkles. You are too generous Creature, truly! You know just how to bribe me! I still wont tell you the answers to the really juicy secrets of your life but I certainly appreciate the gesture! Whats troubling you?" You tell Azzazel of the events in the cave and your chat with Ishamal. Azzazel laughs "So YOU were that screaming lunatic... well, that clears that up! Yeah. Not the best move if you want to keep on the down low." Azzazel raises the slumbering baby goat to his face to nuzzle it for a moment with his nose. It wakes up, licks his cheek, yawns and goes back to sleep. "So. The answers are yes, no and sort of. Yes. They already knew you were there. Probably. No, they won't let you have kids, though they have endless talk talk talk and will be slow to getting around to actually smiting you. Probably. But you can sort of stop them! You can't run, no place to run to I am afraid and fighting is fun, but ill advised and you'd loose. But you can hide! Just because those fascist goat hating prudes are omniscient does not mean they know EVERYTHING! Wait. It does. Well, it does not mean they KNOW they know. It is pretty tough to keep track of everything when you know everything! Believe me! I know! Ha Ha Ha! Come hide out at my place! We'll drink and laugh and sing songs and have a great old time!" 3. You.... G. Accept. Cast of your life as you know know it and go party with Azzazel. H. Politely decline. Ask Azzazel any questions you would like. 4. AFTER Question Time with Azzazel is over, what do you want to do? I. Go home. Catch an hour or two of sleep. Get married. J. Go home. Catch an hour or two of sleep. Have Ishamal render your seed sterile without chopping off your balls. Get married. K. Go home. Pray to El for guidance. L. Go home. Ask Smattas for guidance. M. Crack your head on something hard and hope for a chance to ask Uncle Jorah for guidance. N. Something else. Fill in. Diogines fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Feb 12, 2014 |

Slaan posted:Where are you getting the idea that El is in We have been given the options for a world Cracking Power. Presumably our Dad is such a World Cracking power. So what are the options? Death Exile=Imprisonment The Big Sleep In terms of risk mitigation from more World Cracking Powers castration or sterilization. This is what they are offering us, in addition to the remote hope that since we are young we can be influenced not to do whatever got Dad locked up. Of those maybe the only ones they could pull off given a fully mature World Cracking Power might be imprisonment or possibly castration through deceit. Maybe both. Who would be powerful enough that it would take an entire organization (or family) of Ophanim and Melachim to police? It is either El or some one we have never heard about. We can feel El, but never see him. Prison. The question is why do his jailers (otherwise known as his children) allow people to still worship him. Either they cannot help it or it is advantageous to them. They may not be able to help it either because of El, or because preventing it would cause conflict amongst the children. There might be a brokered deal. Or it might be advantageous to them because it focuses power in some way, also preventing one their own from taking all the power and trying to become another El. We are dangerous because we have not signed on to any agreements and those agreements might be binding. We are dangerous because we are like an infant El or teenage El and they remember what they were like when they were that age. We are dangerous because we potentially unleash a gene stream in the world not subject to any of the agreements. There are mixed feeling among his children about his imprisonment. Azz is probably "gently caress you. You locked up Dad and don't like goats." Jorah Mask wants to Free Dad, but is playing a looooong game. Bareenites want to imprison Us to use our World Cracking Power to forward their agenda. Ishamal Loves El, but for some reason believes it serves him to keep him locked up. Ishamal does not wish to kill a relative, namely Us. It is El or someone we have yet to hear of. No one else fits the response.

"What would you do, if you wanted to remain here in my position?" 3. H 4. K + J if possible, otherwise J. So Azz confirms that they will eventually kill us if we are not sterilized. He also points out a potential weakness of this bureaucratic "talk-talk-talk" council: They know everything, but they apparently have to focus their attention on something to be aware of it. We should keep note of this for the future.

They're baby killers who are so concerned about keeping their power they don't care who gets hurt to keep. I don't even want kids, but if the choice is between maybe bad/boring kids and obviously evil secret societies...

When Ishamal says this is permanent - do you think or know of anyway I or anyone else can ever reverse the effects of what he suggests doing?

H + I + Talk to Jalitha and Naomi before the ceremony. But ESPECIALLY Jalitha. She WILL have insight on this. Do you trust Ishamal? What are they so worried that I will do? What are they so worried my children will do? Do you think they might go so far as to hurt Naomi, were she to bear my child? Ishamal had a child once, can you tell me of him? I fear whatever story lays there may be coloring his judgement now. I would like to talk to the being that appears to me in Uncle Jorah's form; can you help me do that?

3H. 4J. Azzazel just painted a very bleak picture of the future that awaits us should we get children and draw the attention of his former colleagues. If the Grigori ever march on us, our only option will be to either die or hide in places where they can't see us. "Paradise Lost: The Subterranean Adventures of Enkidel" doesn't sound like a very appealing thread title to me. I would have really liked for Enkidel to found a city populated exclusively by muscle wizards, but not at the cost of having it destroyed three weeks after laying the first brick. Ask Azzazel: "Which one of you won in the dreamscape wrestling match?" "I'm getting married tomorrow so it's a little late for a bachelor party, but do you wanna attend the ceremony?"

We are dangerous because we are like an infant El or teenage El and they remember what they were like when they were that age. We are dangerous because we potentially unleash a gene stream in the world not subject to any of the agreements. Interesting take, but look at it this way: El or someone sets up Labaras to be a badass dude; and he turns out to be cool and all is well in the world. He's basically on the same level as an Ophanim and could tear the world asunder if he chose too. Labaras, however, has something over the melachim, El's first creation: a free will, only bound by verbal or written oaths that potentially can be broken. Labaras passes his power to his children, and they to their own, Ishamal included. Then humans start filling the world, and maybe land becomes an issue, or siblings get jealous or whatever. Power s of might start getting abused. Maybe Ishamals son decided he could make a better El, they never see him anyway. Maybe other's join in and start a cataclysmic war that forces the Ophanim to intervene. Maybe Smartass has to smite a city enthralled by a child of Labaras and forced to worship him as a melachim or a god. Maybe El is not locked away involuntarily, but is forced to keep out of the affairs of man while they live on Urban for this reason. I'm not at my pc but note that most of this is not merely speculation but paraphrases from previous quotes. E: Really? Are you going to ask the whole drat town before finding some schmuck to say its okay to have your super babies even if they are guaranteed to never make it past birth?

3 - H 4 - Not J Questions; So 'they' is a faction of Melachim? Are they more powerful than you? What would they do to you if they found out I was hiding at your place? Are there any Melachim that still hang around like you? Did Smattas power my demon beatdown? Does he ever go by the name Smis? Why did I suffer when I used a holy word in the cave? Who was the statue of? Can you take me to the dreamscape to see Uncle Jorah? What is the dreamscape? You know, you two didn't actually answer my questions last time I was there, despite our deal... Were you talking to Ish after the Snarls incident? What did I turn Snarls into? How much noise did the Bareen smackdown make? What caused the Melachim to leave Ur? Ishamal said you would be the best option to mentor me if something happened to him, what if I wanted you to do it right from the get go? Do you want to come to the wedding? Do you want to officiate it? How would you feel if someone said it would be best for the world if there were no goats?- they'd obviously be wrong but that's pretty much what Ish is asking us to do... What's the deal with Billy? Hey, check out this charm, pretty neat ay? You know, I wasn't really going to jerk you off that time..... Why don't I poop? Can we sense if goat rock is 'claimed', if so can we sense if the claimant is different from Zepaths or the caves?

I'ts those goddamn Grigori who are the source of all our problems. I suspected as much. One thing is clear. We are going to become super powerful and an obvious threat to them. If they band together they can easily crush us and any super babbies we try to make. I'm making the official agenda for team hunger clear now. We need to divide, conquer and EAT the grigori. We've met them before and all they seem to have in common is being complete fuckwits. Omniscient my rear end. If they know everything then why is it so hard to make a decision? They all need to get devoured. I say we play it cool now. No snipping the junk. We just stay celibate. Go along with everything and dance around in their palm for a while. We don't want to bite the hand that feeds. At least not untill we can eat the whole hand and the body with it too. G. Spend time with him. Who knows what we can learn about these assholes. N. Go home, get married, stay celibate. Or have Ish conjure up one of those fake babies without sterilizing us.
