2. D: I wish to beg forgiveness for being a drat schiozoid fool, I can't help it, I swear.

Hah, well said, don't know why this isn't getting more attention. As much as I wanted to vote for Fort Awesome or El, Oh El, Hungry Creek is a good, non-anachronistic name, and begging forgiveness for being an fickle question-machine with the attention span of a gnat is probably the one legitimate thing we should apologize for; if not to El, then just in general. I mean, we shouldn't act any differently as players, but it makes Enkindel a pretty nutso character at times.

So yeah, Plan Tomn.

Diog, what sort of things have we prayed for forgiveness for on previous Fasts of Gamzal?
A year ago you were not married, nor did you command your Balls. If 16 made you a man, you are REALLY a man now. In past years, you bowed your head, said the customary prayers and did not reflect upon any specific misdeeds or give it much thought. It was something everyone did, a routine.

Now you are (mostly) alone so you need to decide what you shall do.






Someone expressed concern their vote wad "bad" or that they may be criticized for it. Absolutely no one should feel that their vote is "wrong" or take grief from anyone else on it.

Every vote counts and every vote is important. I am going to stress that. Every vote counts and every vote is important. Even if you think you have a minority or unpopular view, your vote absolutely matters and I mean that.

A or B are not comedy options. If they represent your opinion than by Azzazel's goats, pick them.

If something else represents your opinion, we have C, D and E.

Vote count


Methodology:
I drank some Irish whiskey, then I went through the posts and made a Google spread sheet.
I counted all people who voted "B/E" as E votes, because it's funnier that way. Also, you only have 1 vote.
I counted all votes for Cleveland as Cleaveland.

Results so far:
1. What do we name this pile of rocks?
Fort Awesome = 3
RiverGrass = 3
El-oh-el = 3 (2 El-oh-el, 1 El, Oh El Landing)
Cleaveland = 3
Hungry Creek = 2

2. What are people feeling guilty about?
A, I don't care. = 3
B, I regret nothing! = 8
C, Pray for general forgiveness. = 1
D, Pray for forgiveness, Sogol style = 10
E, ASHERAH! = 7

Things whiny D people are guilty about :
-falling for Bareen's lies
-killing Bareen's followers
-hubris
-rashness
-being schizoid fool
-heretical thoughts
-fun Asherah thoughts
-anti-slavery thoughts
-just wants to annoy El with whiny prayers
-just wants some wisdom for coming storm

- we're sorry for being too cowardly to make a stand on any issue because we feel that our material wealth and our standing in Zepath is more important than justice and equality

I'd normally vote C or not at all but I'd like this to be represented in our prayer even if personally don't have any strong feelings about these things.

I know our votes work as a collective mind who has many thoughs and works though something to come to a conclusion. Ish has seen into our mind and noticed this and called it out.

Do 'Not _' votes work to abolish those thoughts from our subconscious or just work against the vote tally? With how cool Diog is I assume the latter.

Don't get me wrong, I personally want to abolish the thoughts of eating our friends and loved ones at every turn out of our subconscious but I must respect the people's right to vote for it :patriot:.

If history is anything to go by, that sounds like a really good way to make the game a lot less fun and a lot more fraught with drama. And not the fun kind of drama where we take over the world or build a mighty fish cannon. The other kind.

ASHERAH DEMANDS I FEAST, I VOTE FOR A FEAST OF FLESH
The 'not' votes really do hurt the fun of the game for the minority positions, tbh. Are we ever going to actually eat a human heart as a blood sacrifice to Asherah, hoping to overthrow Tudiya in a glorious socialist revolution? No, never. So why go out of your way to say gently caress You! to these voters rather than just add your vote to what is going to win anyways?

Well, it was 8 to 10 just a few minutes ago.

I fully expect Diog still counts your votes in his calculations, even is our character just stands there with his hand on his chin for a few extra seconds or something I am sure he makes it count. I was asking because I like the simplicity of 'Not_' votes because I like to let this thread ride and stay out of it, but when I see something happening that I personally don't want I just kick against it. I would be less likely to do that if it actually erased you guys, so I wanted to be sure.

I know we brought up the 'Not_' vote debate a long time ago and decided 'yay' on the issue, but we never really knew that close votes mattered at the time, or at least newbies like myself didn't know.
