It's like the world went insane overnight. Someone asked the DM a question about the world. The DM said, "I don't know you tell me what this sounds like." How is that acceptable?

A massage would be nice. I went to the gym and lifted many heavy things to try and work off my anger. Nope. Still angry. I just don't like being some else's plaything. The fact that Diog doesn't care isn't helping.

Dude. There's a reason literally everyone is telling you to chill. The 'do you?' is one of diog's attempts to have us spend time and votes to investigate something which we as a block don't want to do. We don't have a perfect memory and very very often are tasked with finding information we have learned previously in the thread. Your table of contents is an amazing aid to that end. So while I understand your frustration with being asked if we remember a song we as readers and player could not possibly know, the whole point is that we have to willfully investigate this as a block which never gained momentum. This has happened in the past and will continue to happen. I'm sorry to say this, but if this is sticking in your craw so bad perhaps this game isn't for you?

Let it go man. If you want to try and find out write something to convince others to back you up and have Enkidels psyche (us) think it's worth the time to dig through our memories. Raging at Diog and his system isn't going to do anything. Diog is notoriously steadfast in the way he runs the game and hasn't deviated from it. He'll even drop subtle hints occasionally about things we could explore. 'Do you?' is one of them. But it's not a free action as we can't clearly remember on our own. An example irl would be like hearing a riff of a song from when you were 8 and thinking 'i know this but what the gently caress is it?'. You'd have to take the time to try and figure it out. That's exactly what he is doing.

Chill man. We know you're upset but this one thing isn't going to change how this 4 year old game is run. And us players, I assume, don't want it to be changed.

Joke votes represent that little voice in the back of your mind that whispers "do a flip human being" when you get near a ledge. Sadly they are a real and dangerous part of Enkidels psyche.

I understand why you don't like the response, but I can't give a different one.

Diogines posted:

I understand your position Travic and appreciate it but I can't elaborate further.

Diog does care, and you're not anyone's plaything. I think you're overreacting to what is a difference in opinion here, and to reiterate: it's not that nobody is listening, or that nobody cares, or that people just don't understand what you're trying to say. None of those things are true. It's that other people value different things than you, and as you can see from thread response, from each other. It really sounds like you DO believe Diogenes is just loving with people to be a dick, and loving with you in particular, and nothing could be further from the truth.

Like, look over your responses here:

I know these are familiar to you, because they were made in response to emotions that you're feeling, but try looking at it objectively, like literally spend fifteen seconds attempting to. Your responses are unwarranted both for the situation, and for what's at stake here, which is nothing. An awful lot of people think you should chill, and it's not a dismissive or douchey thing to say. I legitimately believe your life would be better if you relaxed on this issue.

It's not just this issue. This is years of anger and frustration and the straw that broke the camel's back. Diog is intentionally loving us over. How could this thread possibly go 4 years and we still don't know who our father is? How? It is impossible. It has been our single most important goal the entire game. Ever since we learned it was not Shushem. We ask everyone we can and get nothing. I'm sure the answer is out there somewhere. Bareen and Jesbaam "said" they knew, but I doubt that. But where was Amok? Months from civilization in a death zone in a sealed sarcophagus, in a magically sealed tomb, guarded by a hunger demon, down a staircase under a magic layer of rock, under tons of dirt. Which we only found because of Snarls. And when we achieved the impossible what happened? Diog took him away after five minutes despite how Q&A time is designed. Q&A time is very well established as "Ask as many questions as you want. Time is not a factor." To keep us from learning anything. He changed the rules so we wouldn't learn anything. This is a symptom of us being run around in circles. Amok could have told in 3 seconds.

Add in to that recently I asked Ishamal a question that was well within his ability to answer. I asked a question about safety. Something he has always been open about. No magic. No funny business. No divine revelations. Stonewalled.

And all of this is before the recent trolling. Remember when we got back from Gebek? Diog made a big deal about "Secrets. You guys want some secrets? Ishamal: Do you think he's ready? Tudiya: I do he is ready for the truths." Followed by us being told Ur was attacked on the Jubilee. Fuckin what?

And the thing that is driving me even more insane is well respected people in the thread are saying, "Yeah that sucks. We wish it was different. But we don't want to change it." That's madness. If you don't like something stand up! Be counted! Fix it! Don't just slink off and accept it.
