You leave this tomb and walk on. You fight. Some battles you win. Some you do not. Eventually you fall in battle and lay upon the desolate surface of this cursed world in agony and anguish as your Foe does great savageness to your body after you can no longer move or resist. You hear a great noise, flame, a flame of great size, even greater than the blue flames, hundreds of miles long which race across the continents.  The light pierces the ashen sky through which nothing has been seen in... years... many long years... You feel an intense flame as it approaches, your flesh is scolding even now. But you see what it is as it approaches...  A sword. Impossibly large, it dwarfs the moon. You see three characters on the side of the sword and though you have not seen them before, know at once what they say. Law You know who owns this sword, there are none more well known. It descends to save those who are worthy, to punish and obliterate that which is wicked. Since you were a young child you have known who owned this sword. In Athar, on those long nights when the men of the village left and your mother prayed for Uncle Jorah's safe return, you learned the name of the one who owns this sword.  And thus it ends The sword descends... it is coming...  El King of the World Who causes the sun to rise and to set And brings the rains in their seasons Who was Alone when no things were It is going to strike... it is... large. Too large...  His Children watched the first sunrise And yet you declare your wisdom Greater than They Who Are Eternal And dwell in the Eternal House at His feet The sky is nothing but flame as the sword nears the world. It dwarfs the sky itself, when it lands, the world shall surely shatter.  THUS SMYTHOS DECLARES You sense power in these words. Power greater than anything you have felt in your life. Greater than any feeling you have had or being you have interacted with. There is no doubt at all of the magnitude, this, is greater.  After your seed All this follows  Humble yourself before His Children And in your long years Bind the Eternal Hunger Forever The sword descends above you and crashes to the world above you.  It is finally ended.  You awaken in your bed as you tumble out of it and fall to the floor. It is morning. The first rays of the sun stream into your room.  You are to be wed this evening. Snarls yawns and sits up, under your blanket, still on your bed. He looks down at you. Master-Brother-Father-Bestests-Friend-Ever-Man-Beast-Friend-Who-Knows-Just-The-Right-Part-of-The-Belly-to-Scratch-to-Make-the-Leg-Kick okay? You.... A. Go about your day, get ready for your wedding. B. Do something else before your wedding. All other options are write-ins. Diogines fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Feb 14, 2014 |

Not EL? Basically, hmmm, I'm a big dumb archangel and I just noticed this guy yelling about EL, better poo poo on him real quick because he didn't do what my puppet Ismail told him to do.

A. Scare tactics don't work on me  It can't have been a true prophecy otherwise we would have been shown real details about our loved ones. It was all made up. They're just afraid of what happened in the dream happening in real life, but I beleive its one of many possible endings. El is eternal, yet in the dream he was no more. Doesnt work buddy.

Nice show. Wonder if he bully's all his siblings this way? Also, seemed like we were just alone when nothing was. Wonder why he felt this was all necessary to say something so simple? Flare for the dramatic? Boredom? He is not a very good people person. No wonder he has problems and couldn't keep us from existing. Edit: dudes pretty scared. When's the last time he had to whip out his sword do you think? Sogol fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Feb 14, 2014 |

Y'all're scrubs for playing right into this bullshit vision thing. We know there's conflict in the heavens. We don't know which side we're on OR which side Smythos is on. This could easily turn out to be us giving an easy win to our enemies. I'm all for not having children, but let's not make it permanently impossible until we know more about the motives of the various players here. Voting A + abstinence + go play our flute

Hm, no vote yet, not a fan of this message though. Strikes me as a bit bullshit. We don't declare our wisdom greater than theirs, it's just that we've had no loving idea what it is they wanted, up until this very moment anyway, and even then we know only what Smattas apparently wants. And drat if it wasn't a bit of a bitchy way to tell us. How could we have declared ourself wiser than they when we haven't had a chance to contest their wisdom? Unless, that is, Ish actually is a Melachim. And of course, even though I don't think Enkindel would say this, as a player we know that the Melachim are actually at least a tiny bit hosed up. I wonder what Xuriel would have to say about this. Still, it was a pretty strong message. Maybe if we tell Ish to zap us, someone from the other faction will pop down and start ordering us not to.

The questions remain - does Smattas speak for all the Melachim, or is this a rogue element among the Melachim making a point? Is this a warning - or is it an illusion to get us to dance to "their" tune? I really think we are making a big mistake by sterilizing - this is what they want, not Enkidel - but can we possibly face Smattas and win? No. We cannot. Not now, not likely ever. Kids are off the table for now. I'm a man of my word - I said if Smattas came to us directly I'd back down, even if I didn't want to. B - snip, snip, snip - those Melachim bastards. One day we will have answers. If this was a trick, and not a true warning for the good of mankind.....no mercy.

Last vote a few people said if they wanted us to get snipped they could tell us. Guess what, they just told us. Furthermore, it's not even a little stretch to imagine how generations of multiplying supermen could lead to the end of the world, it's just common sense. I usually love how anti-authoritarian goons are but this is ridiculous. vvvvvv

A Sure Enkidel! Your kids are TOTALLY the reason nameless entities whose power dwarfs yours in such a scale that you can't even comprehend it descend and turn the planet into a battleground from which all life perishes in agony and despair. But don't ask how! Just go get spayed already! Critical thinking is for dorks!

My interpretation of the dream is that there's a cold war between the heavens and the forces of darkness. Our progeny would upset the delicate balance that exists and lead to all out war. This war will be on such a scale that - win or lose, all will burn to ashes. Looks if it's just us, we can limit this conflict to us and Asherah. Interestingly, even then we are to bind him, not destroy him

Task Manager posted:The questions remain - does Smattas speak for all the Melachim, or is this a rogue element among the Melachim making a point? Look this Smartass didn't even go consult the melachim in charge of us. Who were monitoring us. To get any loving relevant details about us. Do you think he cares? He gives two shits about us other than us being obedient dogs? He doesn't even know who we love for fucks sake. And you guys just wanna roll over and lick his boots. Big scary prophecy. From a rogue element? Or does he speak for all melachim and El himself? gently caress him Oh hey. Remember in the dream. All our kids died when Zepath fell, or turned. Children. Direct children. We're going to vote to have more than one now? Don't even bring up that joke vote. And the foe wasn't even our kid. If it was we'd have been hammered in the face with it. Some jerk off who flings giant swords to destroy the world's isn't subtle. Plus this was initiated by them, the demons. Not us. If it was our fault we'd have our face rubbed in with that.

*sigh* I have really strong suspicions there's some bullshit running around up in this. But. We can't fight Smattas. We just can't. If we try to bear kids, he'll straight up smite Zepath. He's smote a city for less before. We're boxed in, and it sucks. But hey, at least they don't intend to keep us from fighting Ashera. B. Do what must be done. Snip. BUT talk to Naomi after, WITH Ish (so he can't bitch and say we said the wrong thing later), and tell her we're infertile. Ask her if she still wants to marry. I still really want to ask Jalitha about this, since she's 100% sure to have an opinion, but at this point, I doubt goons will go for it. Also, I agree with this: Rahul posted:My interpretation of the dream is that there's a cold war between the heavens and the forces of darkness. Our progeny would upset the delicate balance that exists and lead to all out war. This war will be on such a scale that - win or lose, all will burn to ashes. I think they're tossing us a bone here. Saying, "Hey. You can't have kids. It will gently caress up the balance. Buuuut...if you play nice, we'll let you bind Ashera. K? Peace." It's a deal we really have no choice but to accept.
