I believe Diog once said that there's one troll posting in this thread and even his votes count Not sure if he was referring to Bularin or not but I'm pretty sure that was his take regarding issues like this.

FoxTerrier posted:Wouldn't it create significantly less drama for everybody involved just to use the ignore button? I have done, actually. And I know for a fact that there's a goodly number of others who have. Which, to me, suggests something of a problem. The Leper's Colony is as well-populated as it is for a reason. Now, I'm not saying "string him up and crucify him!" I'm not saying "I want everyone who hurts my fee-fees to be banned!" But I will say that if someone is going out of his way to be an rear end in a top hat, I don't see much wrong in telling him to stop being an rear end in a top hat. He can vote how he wants, he can argue about what he wants, he can hold any opinion under the sun that he wants as long as he's not doing his level best to raise Cain for the sake of raising Cain. Seems fair to me. I got no real beef against Tsyni and Lanky Coconut Tree, after all, even if I disagree vehemently with them from time to time. If Diog doesn't want to do anything about it, no skin off my nose. Dude's already on my ignore list, after all. But I figure we might as well get this out in the open now that the subject's been bought up. In retrospect I probably should have started this with a PM, though, not a post. Well, what's done is done.

The hour is late and you and your Balls are in the street outside of your home. A few late night revelers may have noticed the odd scene but the rest of Kavodel is in a very drunk and very deep sleep. You tell Jassiel "Get to Zepath as quickly as your legs can take you. Tell my father what is headed to Tanaach." You turn to the rest of your Balls and say "I am going to warn King Rimush, everyone else, stay here and try to keep people calm." Uriah tells you "Not without me your not!" You tell Uriah "This is NOT the time! I need you and everyone else here to defend Kavodel and keep our people calm!" Uriah says "And Rimush needs us, ALL of us and Zepath as well if he hopes to win!" Standing right outside of your home, you stab your one hand, fingers first into brick wall and rip a brick out and using both of your hands, crush it into a fine powder.  Technically, it is possible you might have been able to do that yesterday... the strength of fifty men is pretty drat substantial. Though you would definitely broken your hand in the process. For years you have known that if you apply your full strength at times, you risk breaking your own bones. Well, not tonight it seems? Your hand is fine. Uriah blinks once and says "Alright, fine!" Your other Balls, rather startled give no further argument. Snarls looks up to you and says... Remember. You are the Predator! All else are Prey or Pack! You wake Naomi and tell her what you have seen. You share a brief embrace and she says "Come home in one piece." You grab your bow, spear, shield and large bundle of a hundred arrows, what is left of your stash Indor's medicine and... You run.  You run and you run and then you run some more. Running and moving, moving and running. One leg in front of the other and then again and again and again and again, a whole lot. The sun rises and you continue to run beside the river, straight north to Tanaach.  The only company you have are the sounds of the river and some startled waterbirds as you go by. In the light of day and a bit further north, you can see small hints of a storm far to the northwest. You feel strange. You continue to run. Huff puff. Huff puff. Huff puff. You are going faster than usual, but not drastically so. Yet you do not seem to be getting any more tired at all. You sense that [???] is decreasing by a very small amount each moment. You keep running. This is the second day of the Jubilee and if you were right at your estimation of the speed of the storm from your brief view... it might reach Tanaach tomorrow evening? Tomorrow night? You keep running. The sun sets.  This really is not how you wanted to spend you Jubilee. Quite a party was going on in Kavodel before your late night discovery and you footed the bill for much of the celebration. You check with Snarls. Is everyone alright in Kavodel? Yes. Pack is ready to for the Den. Stopped eating and drinking. Well, looks like no one is having fun in Kavodel either? You keep running. The stars rise.  You keep running. Near the middle of the night, you finally reach Tanaach. You have been running for a little more than a day?  You reach Tanaach. Zepath does not really have any sort of formal city guard, Tanaach does and while you are still a fair bit away you hear an exchange by two of the guards standing on the wall atop Tanaach's south gate. "What is that?" "What is what?" "That, there!" "Is that Enkidel-?" As you near the gate you yell "Open the gate!" Rather startled, one of the guards yells back "Enkidel! Is that you? Whats wrong?" You don't have time to deal with them. You scale the wall in a swift movement and pass by the rather alarmed guards and drop down off the wall and continue your run. You hear one of the guards say to the other "Get the Mighty Men! Get everyone!" You keep running. You see a number of drunk revelers asleep in the street and a few others returning to their homes, heads turn as you, dressed in your armor and shield race through the street towards Rimush's palace. One of Rimush's slaves meets you at the door and says "Magistrate? What brings you here at this late hour?" An attack is coming from the west. The slave's eyes grow wide and you are escorted inside, you are bade to wait. Rimush comes out to meet you a short time later, several slaves are helping him put on his armor even as he enters the room. Rimush is a bit shorter than Tudiya and a bit less muscular but he is still an immensely well Blooded man. Even with your new strength, you have very little doubt Rimush could turn you into a blood stain. You are stronger, faster, tougher and apparently have some control over supernatural abilities you did not have before? And Rimush is well over a hundred, very well Blooded and has a lifetime of physical and mental training under his belt. Rimush in a somber tone asks you "How long ago were the beacons lit? How much time do we have?" Well, why else would you be here on the Jubilee of all days in the dead of night in your armor? You tell him "Maybe a day? A little more? A little less?" You tell Rimush of your vision and he says "That is... not what has troubled us before. There is usually rain but nothing like that and the largest thing to trouble us a handful of giant lobsters. And many, many thousands of fish beasts, they attack when they grow too numerous every few generations. The battle is dirtier than those minotaurs you deal with but not a serious problem." What will you do? Rimush says "Take most my Mighty Men and engage them in the field. If a demon has risen from the depths, even a victory beneath the walls of our city would cause many deaths." Rimush shakes your hand and says "I provided the materials and towers I had pledged and you have come to warn me yourself. I could not ask for more. You have fulfilled your pledge and have my thanks, cousin." A. Wish him luck, return to Kavodel. B. Volunteer to go with him west, to fight. C. Volunteer to stay in Tanaach and help defend the city. D. Something else. Fill in. The cultural reasons that is is inappropriate for Tizqar to fight for you, do not apply here. Tizqar is a foreigner. Rimush is your distant cousin and you are both of the line of Zepa. If Zepath was under attack, any Tanaachans there would fight and vice versa. You tell Rimush you will come with him and his Mighty Men. He shakes his head and says "No. You have done your part by giving us warning. If you wish to help more, then stay here. I have not forgotten what happened at Ibleam, we do not know exactly what is coming, part of it may get by us. 2. You.... E. Wish him luck, return to Kavodel. F. Insist on going west with him to fight. G. Go west with him to fight. This is not a request or a question, you are going. H. Wait until they leave, then, catch up. I. Remain Tanaach in case the battle reaches the city. J. Something else. Fill in. If you want to, feel free to join us on irc #madgod on synirc.net. The channel tends to always have some people in it and is especially active when updates go up. If you do not know what IRC is, here is a web based chat version which will not require you to register or download anything: http://chat.mibbit.com/ One of our players made a wiki about the game: http://sa-diogines.wikia.com/wiki/Paradise_Lost_CYOA_Wiki It has various bits of information, some of it is spot on, other bits are very wrong. If you find it difficult to keep track of the growing number of names and places in our game, the wiki has a good list. Diogines fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Feb 1, 2015 |

We could probably make it back to Kavodel in time to defend it if necessary, if we left right now. But if it was necessary, that would mean Rimush had failed, and if Rimush fails, how are we supposed to accomplish anything on our own, with no further information? B
