Can we pull Aaron aside for a sec? We should let him know that El does not want these norcs as sacrifices before he goes and offers the entire army to El.

In a world with fairly literal divine intervention, you don't want to piss a God off. Voting B -- Taking the smaller group first with everyone means they won't have those forces for use later, it also lets Aaron see what sort of tactics they use to fight underground. (I say Aaron because I doubt Goonkidel will pay any attention...) Plus if they've separated out the children there has to be a reason for it. They likely don't think we'd be overly attached to children. Back in the temple they didn't say "Surrender and we'll spare the children!" They said "Leave us the meat and go!" I can only imagine there is something horrific in store for those kids, something that might turn out worse for Enkidel.

Honestly. I am more concerned with them being loving smart about it and just splitting up temporarily to hit us from behind as well. We go into tunnel 3 after the main body of Norcs, the second doubles back and hits us from the rear. Smash the smallest piece first. Minotaurs are probably dumped. Tight confines of a tunnel against our Balls. Well they know how it went at the temple. Tight confines against spearmen from the front and back? Yeah. Hit the smaller group first people.

There is, but I am slightly confused as some voters are apparently still voting for votes 1. and 2. (which we already had an update on) and not 3. and 4. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjGhkGMc8GAwdHhBR0d3MGhRbk9ta0pzbXAzcDI3VkE#gid=0 e: If you just recently voted Ab I am counting it a B for vote 3, since that's what it basically is.

I am pretty sure we've had some other reference to this as well. If I feel like it, I'll look through it. But I am pretty sure Indor (or maybe Ishamal) mentioned this as well. We were told that demons lurk beneath the earth, in an attempt to flee from El's sight.

Sorry, thought Ab was still à valid vote..? And why is this Ishmael being a dick? We've never asked him about this. We've heard of monsters lurking underneath the earth and we've seen it at least twice. Why the surprise?

Ask Paebel "W.W.S(mythos) D.?" If the answer is "Smite them all", throw up our arms towards the sky and give him an exasperated look.

The Aroma is Unpleasing Slay Them But Lay Not They Upon the Altar of El Never heard anyone refer to a statue as "they" before, and I have no idea how you'd slay one. So almost certainly norcs.

I had an odd idea. Maybe it has been proposed before. Enkidel knows in his bones that having the Balls are important. I think Enkidel is sensing that he is getting power from the faith of his Balls. I think their faith in Enkidel helps power his abilities. They are not Enkidel's only source of power, but they are an extra one. Maybe the reason their are fewer mighty men is because people's faith is weaker, not that blood is thinner. Simply put: Mightiness = [bloodedness] * [faith power] [faith power] = [people's faith in your power] + [magic/blessings from others, Melachim, El] + etc We sense a presence from Paeble because he has demonstrated his devotion in heroic monster hunting. People believe he is a hero. But he isn't super powered because he has little to no bloodedness. He just doesn't have the capacity to store up faith power well. Enkidel got a big boost to his strength and [???] while defending the temple a few days ago. The boost was from the faith of the people in the temple in us. Apparently people near death have a lot of faith in the only hero who saving them. I am willing to bet that a the blooded people in Zepath could grow more powerful if they emulated the Balls of Labaras. I am willing to bet that the blooded people in the interior could also grow more powerful if they would actually try to do some heroics from once.

Makes sense that it's the culture to overstate deeds too, say you're better than you are so that people believe in you when something does come up.

Except for the wildly different appearance they are pretty much humans, they have free will, deities they worship, a society in which they live in, and civilization. I wonder what their reason for invading our society is, have other cities provoked war with them, are they striking first, did their 'gods' demand they do it?

Noble goons, I would very much like to update tonight. However, unfortunately I still am not home. I won't have a chance to start on the update for at least 2 hours. It is unlikely to happen tonight. Sorry good news. I fully expect that we will update tomorrow night. There is a chance that we may be able to do so in the afternoon.

Blah-dee-blah-dee-blah Through his faith in EL Tudya adopted us. Through his faith in EL Tudya slew the minotaurs. Through our faith in EL we slew the zviv. Through our faith in EL we slew the Manticore. Trough our faith in EL we and our balls slew TEN demons upon the battlefield. Through his faith in EL Uriah named me a coward, and turned me to protect the temple, where literally hundreds of minotaurs where slaughtered trying to defile the shrine of EL. With the name of EL the battle was turned. You guys can argue the semantics of how many melachim can fit on a needle's head all day long. It is EL who guides us, and with EL's divine wisdom and wrath upon our shoulders, we will rescue these children. This is not a matter of opinion.

Jesus is colourblin posted:Blah-dee-blah-dee-blah Yeah, keep telling yourself that. None of those things gave us evidence that they were El, as we think of him. Faith in El is certainly real, and has real power, but El is not. A significant number of posters in this thread accept this as a given. This is not a matter of opinion (except that actually it is, just like yours was).

Smythos explicitly called El the King of the World and the Melachim his children. Other Melachim have also referenced a Father that seems very similar to El. Sacrifices to El do things, including explicitly telling us to knock norc sacrifices off. Pledges to El have, in fact, caused Melachim to come to us and tell us to pay up. I think it's safe to say at this point that evidence points to El in fact being real. In fact, I can't honestly think of anything that suggests El is any less real than Asherah, Fare, the Zviv, or any Melachim.
