Changing vote (maybe?) to "IF not eating it is counted against eating it, C. If not, R. Screw you, that should be a valid vote, and I'm sticking with it.

C Every once in a while we seem to get a contingent of people who don't really care and just want the "lol funny" option, even after several retcon deaths. It's both fascinating and stupid.

Beastyfella posted:C Being fair, the whole point of the game is to be fun, yeah? And it's more fun if we can do some crazy poo poo every now and again (I'm honestly not all that against R even if I'm pushing for C) - being constanty dour and making only the safest choices can be pretty bland, especially if it ultimately involves doing mostly nothing. I think the issue is probably that doing the 'right thing' 95% of the time ends up building the pressure, and it tends to reach boiling point when (a) there's no clear 'right' answer and (b) the extreme nature of the situation leads to chances for extreme wackiness. The scenarios where those two factors are most likely to collide are unfortunately really dangerous ones. Maybe we should compromise and try and do some less fatal, more absurd stuff in our daily lives, even if it means a bit of a hit to rep. Spend more time with Lefkandi. Open up Ur's first clown college. Decide to take part in the life of Ahaz our mining son.

You act like we didn't just break a shitload of cultural norms to sneak into a neighboring city and get into a battle of wills with a guy summoning demonic fire.

Sure but we didn't exactly do that in the interest of being crazy and irreverant, did we? If you're talking to the people who want Enkidel to invent baseball and lead the Mighty Men to glory by developing a combat/baseball strategy that has us homerun Fare's head into Asherah's maw while Baitel ticks the scoreboard and Ishamal and Amok do the running commentary, giving them 'well we snuck into a city in open defiance of cultural norms' isn't going to cut it. The point is it's not just about doing unusual stuff, but about doing things purely for the fun of it.

Haven't we tried eating inedible things when not in hunger mode and it just doesn't work? Like we can't just chew up rocks whenever we want.

This issue isn't that we can't eat a magic necklace. The issue is were about to eat a magic necklace that going to explode. If we don't digest it in time we're going to die. Our stomach can dissolve magic poo poo but it can't dissolve rocks, if it blows up were going to spray guts everywhere. If it works great, but it seems like there isn't much time before it blows (like, seconds) and that isn't enough time to choke it down. This is a terrible bet.

CJesus is colourblin posted:LET MOUNT HAR DO WHAT IT DOES AND THEN SACRIFICE THE RUBY. If we do C we can just grab it back up again if it doesn't get destroyed by whatever it's about to do. Plus, I'm not sure this thing contains as much blue stuff as the giant orbs did, even if it does seem like it COULD contain some. The drips of bluestuff from worship and from the Anaki have to be smaller than just shoving generations of people in there whole.

FoxTerrier posted:It seems very unlikely Diog wouldn't weigh an 'eat' votes total against the 'destroy' votes combined total. I dunno. All three major vote getters seem like unique ideas for dealing with the necklace. One hopes water beats fire, one hopes brute force and distance does the trick, the other hopes our iron stomach does the job. Combining R and C to beat Q seems unfair.

Cornuto posted:... so we can eat magic rocks when not in hunger mode based upon what? The necklace is going to explode instead of summoning a fire demon, based upon what? Magical fire is going to be extinguished by ordinary water, based upon what? Enkidel can throw an explosive far enough to keep everyone out of its blast radius, based upon what? The 'Enkidel can only eat magic things when he's in Hunger mode' is an argument that willfully ignores his experience with Gebeb's soul-orbs. He wasn't in hunger mode when he ran into those things, but they sure looked appetizing.

Look, I get the motivation to do crazy poo poo for its own sake, just..Could we do it when lives aren't on the line? Chasing after an angelic messenger screaming questions is funny, "lol eat a grenade" is only funny if it works. and there's a chance it won't. We ate one magical item, once. It was made out of white stone/tree bark ("Flesh of the Mountain") and we were perilously close to HUNGER. Also, it distinctly looked like food. The ruby does not look objectively delicious in the same way the flute, or giant soulstones, clearly did. There is a pretty good chance that means it's not metaphysically edible in the same way. quote:The necklace is going to explode instead of summoning a fire demon, based upon what? 1: Doesn't matter. Something BAD VERY BAD is going to happen, and it's better that it happens somewhere else. 2: Generally, water extinguishes fire. He claimed his god would boil the sea or some poo poo, but he also claimed we couldn't kill him, that the power of El and the Melachim (which we've seen decide numerous battles) is nothing compared to his god's power (which we choked out with our mind), and that chopping your cock off is a path to divine power. Other than the word of a delusional bullshitter, we have no reason to believe it can flash-boil a river. 3: Throwing harmful things far away is a proven way to reduce harm. Eating them is not. If the blast radius is so large that Enkidel's throwing arm can't clear it, then the only viable answer is a batshit insane write-in option - does that seem likely at all?

R Breaks it if it's breakable, get's it away from us if it's not. If it's summoning a demon, then we can track it down outside of the city.
