Holy poo poo. 2200 pages of this and finally at the end. This thread/game is wonderful Dio. Does getting wings mean we can poop now? Did we suddenly grow a colon as well?

Or we could simply grab a monster, fly 100 feet up, and drop them. That could work. We could pantomime jumping really high to disguise it too?

Tomn posted:She was probably joking, but I really am. On the plus side, though, you can now go through life with the surety that you possess mental fortitude enough to read through this entire loving thread, poster opinions and all. No worries. I heard about you from Lowell's CYOA first, so I knew what to expect. Also, I had a ton of questions answered simply by scrolling more and waiting for your posts. And to echo ElrondHubbard, the best parts of this are the massive swing of opinions/scenarios presented by everyone else. I especially love the insistence of Team Asherah and was really worried for a second when the game almost split in half.

Music Theory posted:I just realized that if you're reading this whole thread right now the suspense of Jesbaam and the battle of Tanaach is reduced a lot because you can just look at the amount of pages left in the thread. I thought that at first too, but I'm pretty sure Dio floated the idea really early of, if Enkidel were to die, the game would vote as to who we would continue as. Also, I was like 99% sure the whole game was about to take a giant left turn and we'd become a demon or something HUNGER-related because , well, goons and we'd do something incredibly stupid to live.

I'm not really sure what even happened with the Lizard God. Like, the females thought we were funny and were being cool, but Lizard God was a loving prick. So we have no memory of that place anymore? I guess what was the point of it then?

Tomn posted:I honestly don't get the sense that people seriously believe this, myself. Or at least, they don't usually seem to think Diog is the one who has the secret correct option. The general sentiment is there, but I get the sense that the thread as a whole is more interested in figuring out its own Perfect Solutions - whenever Diog presents a set of unpleasant choices, each of which has some negative consequences attached, there's usually a pretty spirited effort to develop an unlisted Third Option that gets the benefits without paying the price. There's a reason why write-ins are so popular when faced with difficult choices, I think. While I don't think Diog works this way, most CYOAs that I've read, either in print or online, do kind of have a 'There is one Most right answer' so I can forgive people who tend to think this one would as well. The fact we are 2 years and 2200ish pages in and people haven't really understood that this one doesn't work that way is kind of strange. But I do agree with you about the Kirk thing. We are goons.

Fruit-gate is dumb and we should all feel dumb. Unless it's a grave sin in Ur and an affront to El, who gives a poo poo? Amok was obviously referring to just taking the fruit and eating it. Like a grocery store.

D, but take Snarls with us. Everyone loves Snarls. We should do some recon. This is something way different to what I thought we would find. Maybe the giants are regular dudes who go through some sort of transformation because of their god? Dio, do the slaves/workers have those necklaces?

E because we need more xp and lewt. But really, we should probably cripple as many of the Giant leadership as we can. That way, maybe, in the pitched battle to come, some of our Balls will survive. I'm really only attached to Ruth, Asahel, and Paebel.

UppaTree posted:We strongly contemplated drinking dog piss. We still think about eating rocks. We think our mentor, who has saved our lives at least three times now, is an rear end in a top hat. We hold completely batshit religious views that range from "El's not real" to "El is a construct" to "El is a soul-eating demon like all the rest", and having direct contact with divine agents seems to make us MORE heretical. Meh. I think we are Labaras reborn. We see the world for what it is and are not happy with the rules as they currently are. We question the established Power and are inquisitive. We are Chaotic Good to our core and killing some Giants is not going to change that. Our friendships are proof of that.

Why I voted E by BB Rodriguez Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. -Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953 I had abstained from most of the Giant voting because I really had no idea what to do. What I really know is, I don't want Enkidel to die, but if this is the end, they're going to know they were in a fight.

Well, E. I guess I feel that any sort of rational thought is better than the mindless feeling of eternal hunger. I would hope and wish that we attempt to kill ourselves and go the opposite direction of the kingdoms of Men. We may argue about the best way, and how we are hypocrites, and how we never truly believed in El. That update was a harsh look at us from one side. I still feel that, we, as a person, are far better than we give ourselves credit for. We've improved thousands of lives, and in some cases, like Asahel, ensured innovative and critical thinking is actually a thing in this place. Despite our inner conflict, we've generally done the right thing and are a pretty decent person. We've never been cruel, mean, and until now, murderous. We've thought about it, but thinking something doesn't make you terrible, acting on it does. So we killed these Giants. Did we have to? No, but they were clearly evil and torturing and eating humans. We could never have just walked by. A pitched battle with our Balls would have had the same result, but at least now they have a chance of life even if they might not take it. All I'm saying is, if this is the end, our ledger is in the positive and considering what we could have done with our Power, I guess I'm happy that we chose overwhelmingly in this life to Create rather than Destroy.

Ok. So we can have a body and stuff, but we've unleashed a being that can't be killed and lives only to consume. We don't know how to stop it. I guess I really have no idea what to do or what is really going on. Make it plain, thread!
