Voutecount complete, had some trouble with the sheet not registering extra letters, but I think this is correct? Anyway, K has the most votes for now.

I think those blackouts are a warning from the powers-that-be of an idea which would end all creation.

The blackouts are probably part of what Ishamal did way back. I doubt someone is actively blocking this currently fairly pointless stuff.

Diogines posted:There is no limit to how much it wants to eat. As to the other part of your question, you do not know. Oh, right, I meant how much it needs to be stronger than Snarls, but I think you covered that regardless, we don't know. Voting closed eh? drat. I really feel like it was a waste to only reach out to one contact, even if people didn't like praying, I wish they'd voted to at least hit Mt. Har, Azz and the Guardian/Ish all at once. Why not?  RadicalR posted:Then when the blackout happens, think very hard "I NEED SOME loving HELP HERE. STOP CENSORING ME AND TALK TO ME." Pretty sure nobody is actively censoring us, it has to be whatever Ish did to us to keep us from having children. He rendered us infertile, and removed whatever part of us can even interact with the idea, to keep us from being able to restore ourself. The knowledge and our ability to retain the knowledge of what it means to reproduce has been cut out from us, we try to access it and it's just ... a void, or an error. I wonder how it was accomplished really, but I doubt it's an active party doing it.

Contemplating our Sandals gives us a sense of satisfaction. None of the other amazingly crafted items such as Ruth's ring or the shield gave us such a sense did they? I wonder if we made the Sandals? Consider the forest museum where we first got the flute and sandals. Do we know anything more about that place and the other objects there? Do we know where it is relative to our current location? I am really opposed to sending out a general distress signal since we don't actually know who will receive it. Presumably anyone listening? It is more than possible that having Calamity loose in the world is considered a good thing by some entities. It might also not be the most important problem going on in a world where Amok is awake and Asherah's chains are about to break. We are being Watched by all those powers we can specifically identify. That might be a general thing, but I am guessing that a lot that has just gone down has been pretty loud and noticeable. Seems like it might win, but I don't feel it is a good idea. Also, I think it was really interesting that basically Team Hunger elected a crisis management leader with many people relinquishing their votes even before they knew the content the Crisis Management Fish would come up with. The Hunger Management Plan was interesting. Not sustainable given escalation and immediate surroundings, but interesting. I truly did not expect that vote to be 2:1. Surprising.

Looks like just contacting Mt. Har won, so you don't have to worry, although there was never a plan for a 'general distress signal', but a targeted emergency broadcast. Not just emitting it for anyone at all to hear, but beaming it to everybody we thought would be amenable.

Oh also just a few other questions for ya Diog, whenever. No rush. Are we able to sense lineages currently, as Tudiya stated he was able to when he undoubtedly knew we were of Zepa's line? If this answer is No, ignore the following questions. If so, do any of the Balls notably not seem to share Zepa's lineage? Does Asahel register as of Zepa's line? I know he's not our biological son, but does he register as a descendant of Zepa?

Presumably we still have problems coordinating multiple conversations at once in our head, so we'd send a message to Mt. Har, microseconds pass, maybe we get a response or maybe not, and then we vote again.

More importantly, there's a bit of a logical issue here - if we could bend the shield, the demon could likely bend it back. Unless we got a very significant advantage in strength over him, anyways, which we don't now. Edit: Hey, actually, anyone feel like going back to the Smythos update to see how we beat our Enemy there? I can't recall and I'm too lazy to check now.

We were able to incapacitate it, but Diog never says explicitly that we ever kill our Foe. I suspect we drain it of so much [???] that it just becomes lethargic and stops struggling. We can't kill them. Only trap them far away from people.

The only way we really, truly can get rid of our Permanent hunger demon would be to get something much stronger to eat it and absorb it. But then you gotta deal with the even stronger thing, which might be even worse.
