I'm sure Team Wikipedia will post several dozen paragraphs about how this is a bad idea and how it is vitally important that we play our flute immediately.

Yeah, kids don't make milk. Only adult goats. (I get way too much of a kick out of kid meaning baby goat.)  This image brought to you by baby animal zoo, a very important website.

dyzzy posted:Eunuchgate has taken a very ugly turn. Vas deferens gate. I found the apparent ignorance about vasectomies, and conflation with castration, one of the most frustrating things about the whole debate. re: flute. We should totally just hang out at home, invest our silver well, and live a calm and simple life of growing luxury and an increasingly large herd of livestock. Defy all expectations of being an adventurer. Practice the flute, until it is what we are truly known for. Explain our archery away as a childhood passion, and our height as merely El's gift so that our music can be heard more widely. It would probably make for a fun and charming set of updates, and be hilarious when the powers-that-be descend to speak with us directly. ("I'm really just a flute player. I was told to keep myself our of the affairs of man, so I just play the flute and tend to goats.")

Technically, it's just as much like a vasectomy as it is like castration - which is to say, not at all. If we trust Ish, nothing's been severed at all, we're just sterile now.

If Tudiya or any one else starts sassing us about suddenly neglecting our heroic power we can just direct all inquiries to Ishmael, after all we're just a simple man with simple prospects trying to stake his claim in the harsh world via honest work. We don't have the head for such complicated questions clearly!

Plan Vavrek is kind of growing on me actually. Maybe we should go a step further and become a (semi) hermit like some have suggested. Build a house near the Zepa Monument, with just us, Snarls, Naomi and maybe Mum. Free our slaves, live a simple life, defend our home and livestock from the occasional stray monster and offer our sage wisdom to anybody who makes it that far in their trial. Whenever we get bored, go hang out with Azz for a bit, maybe even bring the family along, too! We'd be nice and out of the way, but not so far that we probably wouldn't get the odd visit from Danal, Ishamel & maybe some others. EDIT: Henceforth referring to this as Plan Tom Bombadil, as this is essentially how we would end up. Rahul fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Feb 20, 2014 |

If you're looking at matters as strictly physical, with no regard for functional similarity or understanding by analogy, maybe. Functionally, castration removes the testicles, the capacity to have biological children or have a traditional sex life, and alters the person's physiology. A vasectomy, properly performed, only removes the capacity to father biological children, which, we were told, was the sole effect of whatever Ishamal did. Also, I didn't expect my idea to garner as much support as it has. It was kind of sarcastic, as I'm still trying to figure out how to fit Gough's Greatbow into our current, new, knowledge of ourselves and our place in the world. edit: Fellow fans of Farscape should totally be reading my above rambling about genitals in Pilot's voice.

While going over the survey and preparing it for a second run, I took a closer look at one of the teams included in the first survey and decided to post about it. Closer look at Team Azazzel Some basic numbers first: 61 total votes. 37 did NOT select Team Azazzel. 24 did. Team Azazzel is rougly 40% of the survey-taking population. Team Azazzel is the largest team by two. (Team El has 22) All of the following graphs are weighted according to that 40% (the further apart a pair of bars are, the more significant) I haven't done the math to see if these are statistically significant but these teams may have some correlation with Team Azazzel: Team Bareen (2/2 members on) Team Sperg (0/1 members on) Team Always Write-In (1/5 members on) Team Magic (3/4 members on) Some other facts not shown on this graph Team Azazzel selected on average 1.25 more teams than those not. 0.36 more if only those who selected more than one team are counted. Only one person selected *only* team Azazzel. Also worth noting is that while 1/5 Team Write-In members were on Team Azazzel, of those who actually wrote-in a team answer (other on the graph) was a relatively even split. I would very much like to say that this demonstrates Team Write-In to actually be Team Hypocrite but I am still all  on the math right now.Character Opinions Looking at the Character Opinion data, most of the opinions are the same between those on and off Team Azazzel. Four characters had some differences significant enough to show. There's a definate change in Jalitha's lines but I think any correlations here are more strongly linked to a team other than Team Azazzel. Sammah The Hammer is more liked though the team doesn't quite agree on how much more. Team Azazzel seems to not like Danal as much and are very divided about their opinion (average deviation of 1.06, which is p big) Tudiya is more clearly defined by Team Azazzel to be not awesome, but is still cool. Favorite Weapon Team Azazzel likes the Club. This graph doesn't reach 100% because I left out the less popular weapons Favorite Monster Team Azazzel was more single-minded in its love for Eyescream and Cliff Racers. This graph doesn't reach 100% because some did not answer this question. That Fish Background Here are results for my first joke question, about the background. This graph says that Non-Team Azazzel members either recently ate before taking the survey, don't find fish appetizing, or don't like fun. You decide. Puabime Another joke question. This graph shows that P much everyone agrees that Puabi is an Anime. Stuff Not Covered because it's almost 6am and I should sleep Locations most wanted to visit. Time-of-day in which the survey was completed.

Beautiful analysis DCBomb. I don't know what shocks me more, that the players of this game make such good spreadsheets, graphs, and analyses, or that the doctors and therapists I work with can barely do elementary school math on a good day. More thought went into our debate on how to count votes than into most of the medical research I have seen. gently caress my job so much. Enough of my work tangent and back to the game: Could people use DCBomb's survey on their phones? I was thinking about making a form in google docs for people to submit their votes. Having people change their votes isn't an issue. The only problem is that their isn't a good way to handle write in votes. The most significant thing about write in votes is that they spur discussion in the thread. Maybe I could have 2 links to the google doc? One to a form to easily submit your vote, and another to the spreadsheet iris being saved to? Or maybe I could just periodically post an update on what people are voting?
