So not far from three years. If this thread was a kid it'd be walking and talking by now. That being the case, it's not shocking so many of us have strong feelings about the characters. The only thing that's surprising is that Diog hasn't gotten totally sick of our goony shenanigans yet.

FoxTerrier posted:I feel bad for Ish. He tried to protect us, but went to far shielding us and keeping us in the dark, and much of the thread now resents him terribly for it. Even though I think he genuinely loves us and tried to do right by us. Yeah, but you know what? His style of parenting didn't work for the child he was raising and he never modified it. We, as Enkidel, ask millions of questions in order to, hopefully, when the time comes, make the right decision. We were never given the information we needed and instead actively discouraged form knowing it. Then people like Ish and the Melachim whine when we do something wrong or experiment. Tell me fire is hot before I stick my goddamned hand in it and burn myself!

I feel like goons probably would succeed best in a game where we were second in command and our main job was to provide sick burns. Unfortunately we'd probably plan a coup after about three turns and die anyway. Oh well!

It also seems like ignorance is a valid way not to draw the attention of powerful demons, so their method might have done a great deal to protect us and been perfectly valid if it wasn't for our insatiable curiosity.

Or play one of Uriahs mighty sons in the donut, ditch home and go exploring and being mighty. Like being awesome in Ur is awesome, and some of our best moments have been delivering beatdowns to demons. I'd sign up for more adventuring, where the only stakes were our death, and not all our closest friends, and our reputation

[quote="B.B. Rodriguez" post="456201069"] We were never given the information we needed and instead actively discouraged form knowing it. Except for a few posts ago when the Queen gave us a larva that was told to teach us a lot about the world in an effort to fix our ignorance. The one that is probably about to die via demon.

I just realized something. El just means god in the old tounge. It was a source of confusion with amok. So when Uriah said the whole "behold el king of the world" thing, and we channeled power, he was unkwoingly referering to us. The melachim are exploiting a loophole in the old tounge! They named El El, and therefore, when people call to him, it taps the nearest "god" or melachim!

UppaTree posted:I dunno, Denziroh didn't have wild-rear end theories coming out've every orifice, mostly because he was allowed to experiment and had people who'd actually tell him poo poo. Pretty much ALL the knowledge Enkidel has, he has because he's broken the rules, or someone else broke them on his behalf. True, Denziroh could make those wild-rear end theories into reality though. I agree though, Enkidel doesn't have that voice of reason with him at all times though since we're more like Narod. A

Enkidel is secondary to adventuring in Ur, character independent, for me. And I do see now the previous vote, that if you do trust Ishamel and don't think he's deliberately holding us back / is just a different-deity version of Shushem, it makes sense in a way to vote B?. Still, fate worse than death..but how surely are we going to die? We've survived so many near-deaths with ludicrous diog-ex-machinas that I stopped believing in the ability of the Enkidel narrative to die. Edit: but if death is the end of the CYOA, risking any fate worse than death is worth it because that might just continue the game.

I'm not even convinced that the bad ending and reset we got awhile back was real. Diog knows we can't be trusted with that kind of information and there has been a history in this game of dreams that appear to be reality. It seemed to heavily influence our votes for at least a few weeks.

We constantly underestimate the amount of damage we're capable of completely unintentionally. I think the amount of damage we can do is pretty overhyped. We were no match for that Ox-God while in hunger demon form and Amok's children were a joke offensively.
