gently caress. I wanted to close at 100 votes. That was 90. Voting re-opens! We are closing at 100 votes, whatever that outcome is. On that vote. I don't have time to update tonight but this one is going to take the Capybaras a while no matter what and we need to close at SOME arbitrary point for fairness sake, so, 100 votes it is. On the hundredth vote we stop.

 This picture has nothing to do with our game. I googled for an interesting picture and like it. Voting is closed. You just hit 100. Unless I miscounted? In which case, someone clarify and we close on the hundredth vote, either way, I'm going to sleep. This one may take us a little bit.

We may be near a fail state for the adventures of Enkidel. Honestly, this should not be a shock, what with the giant demon about to do horrible things to you and those you love? Even if you did not vote for A in the last vote, you were already perilously, perilously close to ending your adventures. That is not to say you are doomed by the outcome of this vote. It is just to say a fail state is still very, very close. Whether or not it is the SAME one? No comment. It may even be the outcome of this vote, also no comment on that. Why am I telling you this? Other than to heighten tension prior to tonight's update of course? And fear not, that is surely part of it! You can stop being Enkidel if you like and play as Asahel. Asahel is probably not a half-Melachim, yet he still appears to be a well Blooded man, he is the second best archer in Kavodel and just like his father is(until recently anyway), probably a borderline atheist! Or greatly heretical anyway. He probably does not have to worry about his Well, not being half-Melachim he probably does not have one? He enjoys many of the benefits of being well Blooded and will surely grow into the power of Zepathan Mighty Man in time, or Tudiya? Greater? He currently fights in the first row, inferior in strength only to your Mighty Men. He has many of Enkidel's skills and much of his knowledge. Most of Enkidel's mortal contacts Asahel has similar relationships with. If Enkidel dies or dissapears or is eaten, Asahel stands to inherit his property. He is probably not going to be Zepath's next king if Enkidel vanishes, that will probably probably go to David or Aaron. Asahel could probably claim the position of magistrate of Kavodel or could pass it off to David or another. He even has a good relationship with Indor and Puabi. He probably does not have to worry about special restrictions or negative attention from divine beings? It is a chance to explore Kavodel and more Ur based adventures? To try to build a new society or change the one you live on? His problems are probably much more... terrestrial, like keeping his home safe and dealing with a changing Zepath which has been cut off from Ur. If Enkidel orders Asahel to mount the fastest beetle and flee, not to save his life, but his beloved sister Ruth and brother Snarls(and pass on valuable military intelligence to Tudiya), he would do it. If he can escape the immediate danger, the trio stands a pretty good chance of getting back to Ur alive. A small group is less likely to attract the attention of greater beings (as you were told... SO... so many times...) and Snarls nose can warn them of many lesser ones. Enkidel may not be doomed but if he is not he is very, very close. Of course if you pick Asahel you may never find out what happens to Enkidel, unless you see him die or get eaten or turn into a demon or ascend in a pillar of light and then yeah, he would probably know then? Diogenes reserves to right to veto this vote after consulting further with the Capybaras later today. It looks viable but they need to double check. If Enkidel reaches a fail state we will not be revisiting Ur on another character. That is it. One bite at the apple. 1. I decide to.... A. I stick with Enkidel. Let's see it through. B. I pick Asahel. We will fill in some of the details of his life montage style and be done by Sunday evening, a few votes this evening and over the weekend. You will get a chance to modify his skills and areas of knowledge. C. I pick one of my grandchildren. They are more of a blank slate. We will also have a montage and be done by Sunday night. If you pick Asahel and he is killed by the demon you can still pick a grandchild. D. Someone else who is not a prominent individual on our adventures. Any Ball of Labaras who is with you now and anyone else related to Enkidel is out, as well as anyone of obvious great age or power. Who? Diog will let you know if they are not allowed.

"Move boy" you say "I have to". Snarls lets out a long, sad and mournful howl, one of grief mixed with sadness and tinged with despair and then... on his belly, cralws out of the way. He covers his eyes with his paws. He is a very, very sad dog and that is saying rather a lot considering two of the Pack just died and the rest of the Pack will likely join them soon. As far as Snarls is concerned this is probably one of the worst things you could ever do. Then again Snarls cleans his genitals with his tongue and when you are away for a few hours seriously fears you may never return. He is a dog after all, what does he know?  You open the gate. You remove the blockage.  Perhaps your final coherent thought is that... there is too much on the other side.

You have reached a fail-state. The adventures of Enkidel are over. Thank you for playing. Wait. WHAT? WHAT!? What do you MEAN its over!? What THE HELL HAPPENED!?! This has been asked by many goon after this post, surely. For mercy sake, I will answer several questions I anticipate are going to come up. Q: Did Enkidel Die? A: You don't know. Q: What option won the last vote? A: You don't know. Q: Did ANY option win the last vote? Did it even matter? A: You don't know. Q: Did any of them work? A: You don't know. Q: No, seriously. WHAT THE gently caress!? What happened to Enkidel!? A: You don't know. Q: Did the demon eat him? A: You don't know. Q: What the hell do you MEAN we don't know!? Tell us what happened! A: All information you obtain is from Enkidel's perspective. That perspective is either no longer able to gain information or no longer exists to gain information. He may be dead. He may be demon-chow. He may be mind-wiped. He may be a prisoner in a way which stops him from gaining new information. His mind may be irrevocably different such that he can no longer make choices such as you have voted for. He may be irrevocably insane. He may be suffering endlessly in which case his "perspective" is not a meaningful one either. He may be a truly mindless hunger-demon in which case his perspective no longer exists. Perhaps he ascended and left the world? Or maybe something else. Those are some possibilities. They may not be the truth. Who can know? Q: And our Balls? The Gebebans? Did anyone get anyway? A: You don't know. Q: What... what about... Snarls? A: Though it pains me to say this... you don't know. And I am really sorry about that one folks. Q: Diogenes. Are you loving kidding me? A: I am sorry about that one also, but I am not. Q: Do we get answers to any of our questions about the game or the world of Ur or the mysteries of Enkidel's life or adventures? A: You do not. If you want to, feel free to join us on irc #madgod on synirc.net. The channel tends to always have some people in it and is especially active when updates go up. If you do not know what IRC is, here is a web based chat version which will not require you to register or download anything: http://chat.mibbit.com/ One of our players made a wiki about the game: http://sa-diogines.wikia.com/wiki/Paradise_Lost_CYOA_Wiki It has various bits of information, some of it is spot on, other bits are very wrong.

 You live in a house with your Mama and Papa and Ruth and Snuls, the VERY best dog in the world!  Your name is Asahel. You love your Mama and Papa and Ruth and Snuls very much! And all of them are special! And so are you! Snuls is so big you can ride on his back and he always keeps you safe and loves to play! And your Papa is a hero just like the heroes in the stories he and Granma and Ishamal tell you! Except he is not a hero THAT big yet! But everyone in Zepath says he will be one day! And you too! You are only a little kid now but you are stronger than other kids and one day your going to grow up BIG and STRONG and slay all the monsters and go EVERYWHERE! Just like your Papa! Right now you are playing with Snuls and your big sister Ruth in the garden. "Please Enkidel, come back safe" you hear your mother say inside the house. She sounds upset, whats wrong? Your Papa comes outside wearing his armor and has his weapons and traveling pack. "Papa? Where are you going? Whats wrong?" Ruth asks. He tells you "I'm going to Ibleam. I had a vision... but don't worry sweetling, i'll be back soon." Your father goes down to a knee and even then has to lean over because he is so tall! He holds out your arms and you both hug him. When he lets you go you ask "Are you going to kill monsters papa?" He ruffles your hair and with a smile says "All of them, don't worry, i'll be back soon." Its almost like the stories! And a vision? Just like in the stories! Your father is a true hero and now is off to fight monsters for El! You are not afraid at all, your father is a true hero and will be back soon. He always beats the monsters and he always will! [...]  BARKOF! You heard people talking, they caught one of Barkof's men! That Zepathan bandit who has killed some of your people and robbed and enslaved others! Finally! You rush to the palace, your father is probably putting him on trial now! That coward! Barkof would never DARE to face your MIGHTY father Ahaz! He is the strongest man in the world! You run to the palace as quickly as you can and your father's guards part to make way! What luck! You arrive at the throne room and it looks like your father has not arrived yet, but you see your two older brothers! They are not so great as your father but they are both Mighty Men and one day one of them will be king! No one is sure who will be the next king yet and your brothers are always trying to one up each other to show your father who is best! They are both here now, standing opposite your father's throne. They are wearing their armor and stand beside the prisoner. But... the prisoner isn't in chains? And he still his his spear! And his armor! What is going on!? Your father arrived soon after. It turned out that the man was not with Barkof, but a lackey of the Cannibal of Zepath. He told your father that "An army of demons marches upon Ibleam from the south oh King, my brothers harry them along the way now but they will be here within days. You must make ready for war." Your brothers urged your father to kill him and said it was a trick. But it looks like your father believed the cannibal-lackey? He placed a call to war! Everyone in the city got their spears and armor! A few days passed and your father waited at the front of Ibleam's army beyond the walls. You were not afraid, you were excited! Of COURSE your father would win! He is the strongest man in the world! But your mother wouldn't let you watch from the city walls with your friends, instead you had to wait in the palace.  The city is burning. Your home is burning. You don't know what happened to your father but one of the guards said he is dead and demons are about to enter the city! You were going to the temple with your mother! El will protect you there she said! But... but the streets are in chaos and you were separated from your mother! You made it to the temple carrying your baby brother Ahaz but... but your mother isn't here. You waited and waited but she did not come. Lots of people are in the temple now and everyone is praying to El to save them or crying or cursing El... "Fare! Fare! Fare Ha Melakaht Mokt! Fare Gadol! Fare Zabol! Fare Ha Melakaht Mokt! Fare! Fare! Fare Ha..." You hear the demons... they are chanting and the ground shakes as they march in unison. In your arms your baby brother begins to cry. Your father once told you "A heart full of El is stronger than any monster or demon". But your father is not here and... and the demons. They are coming for you... there is no one left to save you. "EL HAS ABANDONED US!" a terrified man cries out as women around you sob. [...]  You are always bored at home. Other boys don't like to play with you. You are too young to know it, but that has more to do with their parents, than with their children. Tudiya is not a young man and in his long life he has only ever fathered one child. If any harm should come to that boy in a playful scuffle, not even El would save their parents from their beloved king's wrath. You don't know these things. You only know that you only ever get to play with your sisters or slaves. You are bored a lot. And you get in trouble a lot because you are bored. But your dad! Your dad is SO cool! Your dad is the strongest and best fighter in the WHOLE WORLD! And he took you on an ADVENTURE! He went EXPLORING and he took you along! He just killed some giant lizard monsters and you saw him do it! You were not afraid! That was awesome and you knew he'd win! And! And! He found you a friend! A real friend! His name is Enkidel and when you grow up to be like Labaras he is going to be like Enkidu! He does not know how to talk but that is okay because you are going to teach him! You'll teach him everything and the two of you will be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER! [...]  You turned 16 a few days ago. Your name is Judah, you are the son of Mattathias who is one of the Mighty Men of the great city of Tadmor. Your grandfather is Joram, king of Tadmor. You are not in line for the throne, not really, you have several older brothers and many cousins. Joram is of course your grandfather and you have no reason at all to doubt it. Yet your aged and ancient grandfather does not sit easily upon his throne. Sixteen years ago the city of Harmath besieged your city with the aid of several of your neighbors. Many strange and fantastical things are said of the battle. It is said by some that the Melachim appeared and fought alongside the men of Tadmor and helped them to hold the walls. Perhaps the most ridiculous of the stories is that the hero Enkidu returned on the very eve of battle, descending from the top Mount Har to pass judgment upon the Harmathans in El's name, declaring their doom if they did not abandon their siege. It is a tale believed by many and there are many in the city who claim that they saw a dark skinned giant helping to fight fires and lifting broken buildings to rescue people trapped in the rubble. If such fanciful tales can possibly be true... who can say?  The war was great and terrible. That much was true. Nearly all of your uncles died in the battle, almost an entire generation of men were wiped out including most of the Blooded men in your city. After he won the war, your grandfather conquered all of his neighbors and put an end to serfdom. He called the jubilee early and freed every slave in the land, declaring that "El made men to be free." No matter what people believe about the war, everyone in Harmath believes that El is on their side and the city is more pious now than ever. Your grandfather is great and powerful... but he is old. And he is only one man. He has married his daughters to the youngest sons of the kings he slew in the war but many fear war will one day come again. Your grandfather is a very busy man and always has much to do. Still, you are your grandfather's favorite and even your father favors you over all of your older brothers. You are tall, beautiful and strong, greatly more so than any man... than any other boy of your age should be. All you try to do you excel at. Great things are expected of you. Your grandfather has left the city with only you, you are in the wilderness now and your grandfather did not tell you why. As you make camp for the evening you look across the fire and ask "Grandfather, where are we going?" He says to you "Judah, when my grandfather was a boy, he was brought out into the wilderness by his father. And these are the words that were said to him. In... in the beginning..." [...]  "Adina!" Lefkandi says to you "We did it! We did it! I can't believe we did it!" You did, didn't you? You just finished milling your first bushel of grain. You were supposed to wait until Enkidel got back... but you wanted to show it to him as a surprise when he got home. Gareb didn't think it was a good idea but Jobe helped to keep the farmers calm. Besides, you didn't really have anything to worry about. Not really. Lefkandi was convinced that angry millers were going to burn the drat thing down and string him up but you convinced him it would be fine, saying to him "My friend, this is Kavodel, these are a new people, with new minds, ready for a new time. This is... this is only the first thing we shall make. You will see! We will make wonders!" It is a time of great prosperity in Kavodel and you, Adina, the son of a common smith look forward to a bright future. [...]  You are Simeon, grandson of Benhagog, King of Aphik. He has many grandsons. You will never be king. That is not simply because there are many other in line before you, for indeed there are. The reason you will never be king is because the once great city of Aphik will never have another king. The enemies of your people have aligned together and overwhelmed you and even now, the city burns. You are a sergeant in the army of Aphik and command the southwest tower. The other towers have fallen, yours yet remains. You and your men have made a wall of corpses in front of the door and struck down a hundred men or more who have tried to storm it. Yet tens of thousands more remain. You are doomed. The city is fallen and only death awaits you. Let it come and TRY to claim you! You will slice it's throat and poo poo down its neck! [...]  You are Jobe. Once you were the last born child of a Zepathan Houseman. With no claim to any inheritance and your father unwilling to apprentice you over your many other brothers, you joined the priesthood. When you were still an acolyte you joined Enkidel for many of his adventures and provided spiritual guidance to the Balls of Labaras. And well, you are a heretic. There really is no two ways about it. You spent too many long nights over the years drinking with your friend Paebel and discussing philosophy to not become one. Though not the same sort as Paebel, El preserve you no! You'd never worship the Melachim! Paebel is right to say that El is not the god others imagine him to be... god would not be cruel. That does not mean there IS no El, Paebel is so wrong about that! It only means that Paebel is WRONG about El! You are dead sure that large portions of the Old Tales were made up by men are and that the rules of your civilization are really messed up! You better not let your boss Zebanetha, the High Priest of Zepath find out! Well, he won't find out. You run the Shrine of El in Kavodel and minister to this growing city. Your flock is diverse and you help to keep the peace between people from many places. Zebanetha is pleased with your efforts and praises the peace you have helped to keep, you played a critical role in ensuring men from different cities gave up their old identities and became Zepathans. Or rather... Kavodelans? You are no Mighty Man and you never will be, yet you can probably out-wrestle most Zepathan House-Men and you have joined Enkidel on many adventures. But not this one. He has gone in search of the land of the giants and you remain behind. He has been gone... a long time. Some days you worry. What will happen to the peaceful and prosperous city of Kavodel if he does not return?  1. Pick one. PLEASE READ ALL OF THEM AND THEN THE DISCLAIMER AND SPECIAL NOTES AT THE END BEFORE SELECTING ONE. THANK YOU! A. You are Asahel, son of the famed adventurer and hero Enkidel. Your mind is sharp, your tongue clever and your body strong. There is so much wrong with the world and one day... one day you and your father are going to put it all to right. There are many mysteries and one day you will discover the answers to them all! One day you will be a hero as great as your father, perhaps even greater! If you can survive this demon that is. The demon which is currently eating a crowd of women and sent you soaring through the air like an El drat bird. It seems impervious to all efforts to harm it... you are pretty much hosed! Are you clever enough to get out of this mess alive or El help you somehow grasp victory? B. You are David, son Ahaz, King of Ibleam. Yet you have two fathers and the man who raised you was Enkidel of Zepath. You dream of adventure and glory upon the field of battle. Like your brother Asahel your mind is open, ready to reject the old and embrace the new but unlike him, you do not doubt El. El has smiled greatly upon you and your family and you will win glories for his name upon the field of battle. You dream of one day avenging Ibleam and making war upon the Bnaimokt in their own lands. Yet such a war is distant... you are tumbling through the air at this moment after an enormous demon threw you aside as if you were a toy. Will valor and courage win this day as it has prevailed over every foe the Balls of Labaras have faced? C. You are Danal, son of Tudiya, King of Zepath. You are one of Zepath's Mighty Men now, though you leave home often. You follow in the footsteps of your famous brother Enkidel and lead a band of your own men, the Shaft's of Zepa. You may not be as great as your brother but you have claimed your rightful place among the Mighty Men of Zepa. Hey, not everyone can talk with the Melachim, you've come to accept that your brother was meant for greater things than you. With your father's blessing you and your Shafts often patrol the countryside of Gezer, Kitron, Dor, Megido and Acco and at times you have been your father's envoy to these places. You have slain many monsters. You have even fought the Bnaimokt in the wilderness near Acco! Right now your brother is off on a grand adventure, but you have adventures of your own... D. You are Judah, son of Matthias, a prince of Tadmor. Or so you believe. The name Uriah means nothing to you, you have never met such a man and surely never will. You far excel over all of the men of your generation and in all you seek to do you achieve excellence. You have just turned 16. Your grandfather Joram has lead you off into the wilderness. He told you it is called a "Manhood trial", a thing once done long ago and that "A thing we will do again. El has been gracious to us and will not fail in showing our devotion to him." The world lay large before you and you must obtain an offering "worthy of El". Where do you go? To the neighboring cities of questionable loyalty to your grandfather? To more distant wilderness? Where will you go to find an offering worthy of El? E. You are Adina. A man of common birth and a smith. Yet you are strong and powerful, your mind keen and cunning. Many in Zepath have a well Blooded ancestor and it seems that such Bloodedness has been found again in you. The works of your your forge far exceeds the mastery a man your age should reasonably expect to achieve(let alone one of your low birth!). Working with your friend the potter Lefkandi, you are about to reveal to the public a device you call a "water wheel", with it you will use the strength of the river to grind grain. But you have other ideas. Larger ideas... ideas for war. You saw the weapons the Bnaimokt used at Ibleam and you have not forgotten. You will master such arts and you will surpass them. Kavodel is greatly prosperous and all the resources you could ever hope for lay close at hand. What will you build? F. You are Simeon, the rightful king of the fallen city of Aphik. Because the entire royal line has been wiped out and your the last one left. When your city was taken you fell from the city walls during the battle and fell into the field beyond. You awoke in a pile of corpses two days after the fighting end as the city lay destroyed. Your armor looted and nude, you lay still as the corpses upon which you rested until night fall and then you fled. Somehow, you escaped. And then you got as far away from Aphik as you could. The enemies of your people will not suffer even a drop of the blood of the royalty of Aphik to escape them lest some remnant of Aphik's royal line some day try to reclaim the city. You have no intentions to. Your intentions are to live. So you fled to the end of the world and kept going until you ran out of cities to go through. You had never even heard of Zepath before it had become your destination. Working as a miner and trying to keep a low profile you were discovered after you saved your fellow laborers from a dire-wolf which you slew with a pickaxe. For this deed you were elevated to a position of military command by the city Magistrate, a wild-man turned prince named Enkidel. These Zepathans despise "soldiers", men who truly train for war, relying instead upon their individual strength to win battles. Such men are called warriors. You taught your soldiers how to kill warriors. You will take soldiers over warriors any day of the week. The demons which destroyed Ibleam knew well how warriors fare against soldiers. And it seems like Enkidel does as well? He has given you the task of training new soldiers to man watch towers and drilling the farmers of Kavodel into a militia. You are Blooded though not greatly so by local standards. Still, you are a survivor and you live in dangerous times. What dangers will you and your men face in the years ahead? G. You are Jobe, one of the Balls of Labaras and the group chaplain. While Enkidel has gone off to search for the land of the giants, you remained behind. You are a member of the House of El and thus a man of influence. Rarer still, you are well Blooded and trained in war. If Enkidel does not return... what will you do? Remain in Kavodel? Or set off and explore the world, learning of distant places and searching for the truth of El and proof of the lies your priesthood has spread? H. You are... someone else. Fill in. Who? Anyone else related to Enkidel by marriage is out, as is anyone who is greatly Blooded, such as Aaron or Tudiya. Any Ball of Labaras who did not come on the trip is fine, Jassiel and Gareb are both in Kavodel. Most humans in Ur are fair game. If you have any other generally creative ideas, I am open to suggestion. I. Diog, I'm out. Thanks, but I'm done. Why was is option here? I wanted to know how many people will be leaving our game.  DISCLAIMERS!Most of these options will need to go through a quick series of votes to fill in some details on their life and change their skills, knowledge, experience, opinions and assets. We may retcon a bit to make the world fit those choices. When those votes end, you will be in the present, or near to it anyway. Asahel and David are alive, apparently, at least for the moment, they are going to need to survive the immediate danger of course, which is considerable. If you pick D, Judah, we can vote on whether you start the game on his manhood trial or if he is an adult. I really should not have to say this, but I will anyway. Enkidel's adventure is done. Some of the options above have things in common with Enkidel, indeed, some of them even share similar goals or have similar views. Few if any of them have knowledge of many of Enkidel's supernatural chats with otherworldly beings. I am concerned some people may pick a new character and try to "make war" on the Melachim or have similar goals in mind. (A)None of these characters are half-Melachim. Probably. None of them have tremendous supernatural power. Probably. (B)None of these characters hate the Melachim. Actually uh... the only character in the whole game you have met who was not a demon(probably) and hated them was Amok? If you plan to go on an anti-Melachim vendetta to avenge Enkidel, if you think they are to blame for what happened to him, please stop playing. I decided to let you pick up another character so those who wanted to see how things turn out for Ur or Zepath or wanted to explore the world more had a chance to do so. Enkidel's tale is done. This is an opportunity to do another one. Last disclaimer. Any knowledge Enkidel had of the supernatural which he did not share with other normal people may no longer be reliable. So for example, the "Trio" may not exist, or they may be different. Presences may be different or gone. And so on. Trying to rely on that knowledge probably won't be beneficial. Most of the secrets Enkidel knew which were not shared with normal people, likewise, fall into this category. Diogines fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Feb 14, 2016 |

Vavrek posted:I vote for this. BUT! If you want to be a Kadmonim at the edge of Ur with an interesting life ahead of them, you can certainly pick that. I will need some time to work it out though, it is going to take quite a bit of Capybara time to work that out. I am ready to go on any other option pretty much right away. I need time to work on playing a Kadmonim. Diogines fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Feb 14, 2016 |

IRC questions: Q: Can you play Ruth? A: If you really want to, yes. Keep in mind she is the least physically capable of your entire group, including your servant Gaddiel. She is a good archer and a skilled scout. She is not in any way Xena. Q: Is a "Mighty Son" in Baitel viable? A: Yes.

FoxTerrier posted:Diog this is kinda out of left-field, but is playing as Amok an option? I don't think it is a great choice. Amok is not a blank slate. He has some very set opinions about the world and fixed world views. He also apparently has pre-existing relationships with other powerful entities, even if those relationships may be in the realm of FFFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU as seen by the carving of him fighting Seven-Bird on his sarcophagus. I am also concerned picking Amok will lead to a game of you trying to avenge Enkidel. If there is great interest I will consider it, but I would not recommend it. I'm concerned that the sort of power he has will be less interesting than you think. Also keep in mind that Amok said that his sons had limited power and went nuts when they used it up. Does he have an ultimate limit on how much "juice" until he goes hunger crazy? If you trust yourself to not make him run out quickly, given the way THIS game went, do you trust other goons to not blow his load in a week?

FoxTerrier posted:The more I think about Kardomin the more I like that too... Honestly, the last one is the most serious problem I fear? Goons will not be able to budget Amok's GREAT AND VAST(but not limitless) POWAAAAAAAAH! So they will spend it to maximum effect so that everything goes their way entirely. Until they run out. And then they will go hunder-demon and lose. If there was any clever solution to that, you would imagine that the self proclaimed god Amok would have figured it out before going into a coma for a few millennia?

Waci posted:Doesn't this apply to literally anyone who knew Enkidel in any way? Even fit hey're less capable, that just mean sit would take longer and we'd still try to re-enact Enkidel, regardless of whether we have as much power.
