Popov is actually rather palatable on its own, provided you have it on the rocks to let the flavors open up. $14 for a 1.75L is some cheap drunkenness.

Although I can get the same size Kirkland Blended Scotch for $18 as I'm leaving work, so I'm developing a taste for a simple Scotch and Diet Cola. I just fill a rocks glass about 3/4 of the way with Scotch, top off with Cola. Sip a bit, top off at the halfway point and so on. Kinda feels like the Shot & a Beer method but without the mixing.

Although I should preface that by saying I usually have a very large cup of coffee beforehand (1/2 STRONG coffee 1/2 whole milk).

Holy poo poo I hate you. Cheapest vodka you can get here is $43 for 1.75 litres.

Guys it's a puzzle. We need to kill the groundhog. It can't be a real groundhog anyway, this room hasn't been open in who knows how long and there's one lonesome groundhog here. It's not a real animal. The inscription is telling us to kill it to progress.

Quietly say "it's alright old friend, I've done the same in the past; in the future, we'll seek consent before we muck about with each other's will. Now let's go show this heathen tower the power of El."

By all the stuff we have learned so far, this isn't ok. He took over our mind and forced us to do something without consent. I mean, I personally couldn't give a poo poo and trust Uriah's judgement, but in character this definitely isn't something we should pass over.

don't contact ishy, we are a big boy and can handle this.

If we are totally non-chalant, there's nothing to stop Uriah from believing that we would think it's no big deal to do the same to him.

We need to acknowledge the mistake in a kind manner.

Once upon a midnight dreary
while we lumbered, weak and weary
Through a broken landscape of Mesopotamian yore-
While I sprinted, never crapping, suddenly there came a yapping,
As of someone gently yapping, yapping like a holy whore.
"Tis some Melachim,' I muttered, "yapping like a holy whore. Only Jael, and nothing more."

I tried to write another verse but realized I should be doing things in the real world and not making rhymes about musclewizards.

This post is good and you should feel good. It exactly expresses my frustrations with the game in a way that I haven't been able to, especially the parts about paternalism and condescension.

The only thing I would add is that this game is not a simulation. Computers powerful enough to simulate all of Ur don't exist, let alone one guy. 99% of the story is made up arbitrarily based on the 1% that's pre- determinable. One of the frustrations I have is when the other posters get angry at a decision that was made as if Ur was real and the thread did something dumb, instead of Diog just saying "nah, I don't think that will work."

And I have no problem with Diog arbitrarily determining outcomes because it leads to great writing, but that means there are no right and wrong choices.. In a video game, the rules and physics of the world are entirely predetermined so you can rightly blame yourself if you gently caress up. This CYOA is a story with parameters that vary widely from one post to the next because a human being can't simulate a universe. We should be voting for options that sound the most fun because whether an action is successful or not is 100% determined by your ability to predict Diog's reaction to it. Instead of trying to vote "correctly", we should be voting for whatever sounds fun at the time.

The self-righteous responses after events like Breathgate are astonishing. People acted like it was an issue of decision making instead of miscommunication. I'm suspicious that the same people think the WWE is real.

Definitely Neutral Good.

Enki obeys laws when it suits him, and is only anti-authorotarian compared to the tradition robots that make up most of the Urian population. He also regularly puts the welfare of others ahead of his own and genuinely want to help.

A, then sacrifice it to El.

If it communicates with us it will be bound by the same convenient secrecy as literally everything else we've talked to, or it's language won't quite be understandable, or it will run away, etc.

Just kill it and get powerups from El.

Random thought: maybe as to the whole "don't interfere in the matters of Kings", couldn't we make the argument to the PtB that many of the current rulers of the cities aren't actually Kings? Kings lead their people in the ways of El and help them prosper. The pretenders that rule the donut have spurned the ways of El to make war and weaken Ur in the face of threats from our enemies. Wouldn't it be the right thing to do to liberate these cities, install very Blooded, righteous men as their Kings and have them reproduce like rabbits to bolster the strength of Ur?

If we could unify Ur against our common enemies then sharing secrets like how to forge better wouldn't be a problem because we wouldn't have to worry about the donut misusing them. The inability to take out all the greedy assholes poisoning Ur is a serious liability.

Yeah the previous vote with all of its tension was a hilarious waste of time and fake buildup. I mean, if there's a question with a vote, recount the vote? It's not rocket surgery and doesn't need some dramatic vague explanation.

But whatever, a hammer is better than literally voting for self-flagellation, it'd just be nice if there wasn't a long fake vote involved.
