Well I finally caught up! I haven’t read anything but this thread for what seems like weeks, time to re-read Gilgamesh now that I have to wait for updates!

Diogenes this is a masterful work - it’s fantastic. Looking forward to becoming a certified wrongvoter.

Welcome lenoon! Anyone catching up at this point is quite an accomplishment! And with a proud beard like that you should fit right in!

What vote had the most unexpected results or outcome? Any particular theory you would like to share?



Edit: Page sniped myself! The update is at the end of the last page.

Hey, Johnny, what's a "shitpost"?
Based on our previous experiences, i don't think torso shots are going to be all that helpful, and I don't like our odds of landing headshots from here. At the same time, I don't want to wait too long and give up the tactical advantage. Based on that, i'm going to go with

I'm pretty sure they're heading for us, actually - they saw us shoot off into the sky and crash down at the palace so that's where they're headed to make sure we stay down. I'm sure the threads piloting the giants are gonna be incredibly salty when dumb Asherakan bullshit lets us snipe them from out of nowhere.

A weird time in which we are alive. We can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets. And for what? To sit day after day, declining in morale and hope.

On the off chance these guys don't know Enkidel is a master archer, hold off on shots until we get in close range. I think in some recent update we were told we learned how to shoot multiple arrows at once now, right? Or was that an option we didn't take in a time skip?

Either way, let's get super close then headshot them if we can.

We fire from this far out, all the more time for them to dodge.

You can indeed fire multiple arrows at once, but the range and accuracy is not great. Even if that is a mainstay of many fantasy settings, it really is not all that helpful for you. What is helpful however is the fact that you can fire several arrows in very rapid succession.

H might as well do what we can. And the fact they’re headed toward the palace and not the temple means the Gebeban faction doesn’t give a poo poo about dom killing El here. They just want revenge on the Asherakan.

I really wish we had our behemoth club. Our arrows haven't been too impressive, so far. And we'll be running out of the blooded bronze ones pretty soon. I don't hold out much hope wooden arrows can do much if anything.

Interesting that the same power words can be used in multiple ways for almost entirely different results. The giants use AMETS (meaning to harden) to shield themsleves while Danal used it to harden ...hearts? Resolve?

Fifty feet tall and towering over all within the city, many of the few Accoan soldiers that are still left in this portion of the city run for their lives in absolute terror. Danal has already left his men and is running towards the towering armored giants, you hear him shout out "DID YOU THINK EL DESCENDED IN FLAMES TO BAKE OUR BREAD? COURAGE BROTHERS!" You hear Danal shout and you certainly FEEL it when he yells "AMETS!" Many of the fleeing and faltering soldiers suddenly stop their flight and instead turn to swarm the giants!

Didn't Ish say that the giants' power words were a nonsense/non-Urian language? What the hell are they and Danal doing using the same words?

What would be the most direct route the giants could take to join back up with Gebek? Is that in the same direction as the palace?
