loving FINALLY So, lemme tell you a little story, about a man called Hattie Masters. Several months ago, Hattie found a thread about a man called Judah. Hattie went onto IRC, and asked for info, and thus was given the link to this thread right here. And so he began to read EVERYTHING After months of reading, and a slight break due to burnout, I can officially say I have read every word in every thread that Diog has run. I read all of MadGod, I read all of Judah and now I have caught up and read all of Enkidel. tl;dr I'm an idiot who was too proud/stupid to just read Diog's posts in the threads.

Big Boner Stacy posted:Wait. You read EVERYTHING?! Dear god, I hope you just started skipping large swathes of the pages at some point. Hell, if you spent just one minute on each page, it'd be like 50+ hours of reading at this point. No. I read LITERALLY EVERYTHING. There's a reason it's taken me months. At points it's all blurred into one big mess since I read it literally months ago, and you can only read "Ish is literally a fascist rear end in a top hat" vs. "Ish is alright give him a chance" and "Indor sux" vs. "Indor rools" so many times before they just stop meaning anything. And honestly? Right now I'm on Team Kavodel. As much as I want answers to the big questions (What is El? Where is Az? How do we kick Fare's teeth in? Why don't we poop? Who is our Dad? etc etc) we are currently probably in the best position to prepare for times of hardship. Legit, whilst I abide by Everybody Love Everybody for the most part, the people just wanting to cut and run on our entire life and go out into the wilderness is the closest I've got to considering anything to be Wrongvoting. Favourite bit? Spending time with Azz is always a good shout for that, but it's got to be the events of the Jubilee. I'm a sucker for any and all of the big fighty bits but that one just got me. And honestly, I've not got any real big exciting theories. I'm not really the greatest when it comes to that stuff, although I was in agreement that smashing the statue was the right thing to do even when it bit us in the rear end.

First vote in the thread, and I'm going to say E, but also ask if they could grab Ish Ish would be able to confirm that A) We're not messed around with in the head and B) that yes we are an idiot.

As someone who recently finished reading the thread I will say that Ishmael-Chat was one of the most mind-numbingly tedious parts of the thread, especially since it almost always devolves into name-calling. As someone who voted to ask for Ish's presence, I would like to clarify that I did not want to start another round of 20-billion questions. I wanted him here because he can confirm that no, we're not mind-hosed and most of the people here, especially those who followed us from Zepath, will trust him when he says that. He's Ishmael, the guy who knows all kinds of weird stuff. I mean, yeah Tudiya will probably still know but he'd definitely go in a lot more gung-ho than he would with Ish there to temper his... well, temper.

the_steve posted:Ishamal has zero official authority. Sure, everyone likes and trusts him, but, he's not the ruler, and he can't override Tudiya. The point isn't to override Tudiya. Hell I'm not even saying that just having Tudiya there would necessarily go any differently than having Ish there as well. The point is, however, that Ish is, as you said, liked and trusted by everyone. Tudiya may be King but that doesn't mean he's infalliable. Ish on the other hand is seen as being as close to that by the average Jael on the street, and has a history of talking Tudiya down from more drastic action.

I'm about a 95%. But honestly I was just arguing semantics, since you said we need to kill her and technically we don't. Just enjoying getting to be part of an actual thread debate.

With our mega-vision, identify who hit her for 1 shiny coin and if anyone draws blood on the way down, they get 3. When she hits the ground, if she's still structurally sound enough, go for a bonus round. this is both the best and worst thing and made me smile on a lovely day

Voting for Plan Foxterrier, as well as Make A Literal Table with Ish I am also officially abstaining on the Puabi vote since I am just washing my hands of the whole thing. Either way people are going to get upset and it's not gonna be my fault. Also we had ENTIRELY the correct reaction to bees stinging Snarls. Although I don't think we went far enough. Any support for an anti-bee crusade?

+1 to Plan Basscop, Talking to Tudiya about how to get the Elite to not Hate us, and Operation Shitstorm (aka SNARLS POO ON THE CEILING) The first two I think are good ideas that will pay off in the long run. Operation Shitstorm makes me giggle and so is a good idea.

GH it's really the only sensible option and Khaba seems like a cool enough guy that we can give him some slack. And I find it kinda... interesting would be the best word I can find that when it comes to issues of mortality, Enkidel basically has a really nasty panic attack and shows symptoms of depression. Guess being a quasi-divine entity isn't necessarily great for your mental health? Hattie Masters fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Mar 5, 2017 |

I'd like to vote for C: No, seriously, loving Run. This is a time for us to be moving very, very fast away from the deathwave. Also I am sorry for lack of pictures of the Painting. The means of mounting it on the wall I was using were... ineffective, and it kind of fell off the wall during the night. And smacked me on the head. Anyway important thing is that it's fine and dandy.

I know I'm way late to the debate but the Bnaimokt autopsy, combined with a very popular theory as to their origins, makes the fact that we did the autopsy loving bad news. Assume that the theory that Bnaimokt are two people somehow fused together into one being is correct. Two humans, specifically. In doing the autopsy, assuming this is true, we have just committed an incredibly major sin, desecrating a Human (of sorts) corpse This would also explain why sacrificing them is verboten

And so I came back to this thread to see: - A poster calling the King of Seir a Goat Fucker - Way too much discussions of dicks - Waifarrow - Enkidel discovering the secret of loving EXPLOSIONS After spending the day in an absolute funk, feeling like absolute poo poo and legitimately scared for my health and mental state, this thread has managed to make me not just smile, but laugh and feel better.

D Life regularly keeps me away from the thread, but it's nice to come back to decisions I can make a firm stance about. We hosed up, Chait is angry as hell and I can accept that, and most importantly we need to just accept that happened. I think we, ultimately, made the right decision vis-a-vis Chaitgate. At least this way there is some hope of salvaging the relationship, or at least being seen as not complete and utter scum. Just regular scum. Edit: Also Diog, your writing is amazing. When Chait went apeshit at us, my heart sank because we'd let someone down. Hattie Masters fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Mar 29, 2017 |

1. Do you leave with your bow? A. Yes 2. Is there anything else you want to say to Chait? If so, fill in. I know it may not mean much, but please let me just say how much your friendship and tutelage have meant to me. I did not mean to throw it away lightly, and hope that one day my actions will allow you to remember me fondly. It was with the best of intentions that I did what I did, but I realise now that they led me down a dark path. Farewell, Chait. I will not bother you again. 3. Where do you go next? D. Painfully make my way to Danal's home. It is only a few streets over, I can even limit how many people see me since it is the closest destination. Fall into a bed and let Danal's family take care of me.

Lanky Coconut Tree posted:Also do recall that at that point in time we were under the impression we'd already broken the oath just by shooting the Oldemokt and having pain transfer kick in. Yeah, this is what I was assuming. In my head, our actions (albeit indirectly) led to a human life being ended, which I took as breaking the oath. After that... Well I disagreed with the "Send the bomb-arrow to near the humans" bit but in my mind at least the damage was already done. As a "Tell Chait" voter, I will also say this, which I know has already been said: I know that we could have gotten away with it. We could have not told him, it would have been fine. Except he deserves better than that. He has been a relatively forthright, stand-up guy who we made a promise to. A promise we were under the impression we broke. I made my vote knowing what the consequences (I thought) would be, and was prepared to lose our bow because quite honestly otherwise I would have thought we did not deserve it.

It has been a hell of a couple days, but I've finally caught back up post-Chaitgate. A short summary of reactions: - I am glad people didn't vote to get rid of paper and parchment. I don't know if it's just my natural real life distrust of organised religion coming through but bowing to Zeb on that one would have been stupid, and I am on Team Heart Full of El -Levi's a lil dick scamming his dad like that -The Orm made me sad and I wish we could help it but if El's not going for it... best to not rock the boat. Well done thread. -Sandals are awesome. -Uriah's final line about the King kissing his rear end was hysterical and i laughed for a good couple minutes. Looking forward to future votes!
