I know. I don't like the debate, but I like not responding to people calling me a cruel hypocrite less.

I suppose the twin status to Void makes Caes special though?

unless all creators are siblings to Void, and Void is just the odd one out, not creating stuff

Nope and nope. Twins aren't that uncommon, and neither are destroyer entities, but none of the creators are siblings with Caes and Void.

And they haven't contacted other creators simply because it is incredibly damn hard to.

And presumably as practically useless as a moon base (ie, it has some practical use, but not much that we can't do here).

Actually, they have the same soul, just different halves of it. So it's basically selfcest as well as incest.

They're gods. That makes everything...complicated.

Seriously, going weeks without updates only to have several while I'm offline for a few hours is a pain.

I know that feeling, that's why I stopped posting suggestions other than vetoing some silly stuff from time to time. Anyway, we are in no condition to even try to request something from FFS

I can always hope, though.

This isn't even what I was talking about, but this is also hypocritical! Your reasoning is that it's ok to attack people for doing things you find annoying. (Attacking people is worse than this.) Claiming that someone is being annoying and then deciding to annoy them? Hypocritical, and fallacious to boot: two rights don't make a wrong.

How am I being annoying by pointing out that others are being annoying?

And my original point was this: you complain about the thread being filled with slog worship, but attacking of slog people is just as pervasive. This is also hypocritical.

The differences?
1. The attack on Slog worship, as you keep calling it, is nowhere near so mind-numbingly stupid.
2. Slog worship has on multiple occasions threatened to damage our ability to properly continue, by favoring Slog over rationality.
3. No, "attacking of slog people" is NOT anywhere NEAR as pervasive as the Slog-worship.
4. Guess what? If the Slog worship goes away (or at least dies down to a minor thing), the people "attacking" Slog will also stop. On the other hand, if the people "attacking" Slog stop, the Slog-worship will not disappear, and may actually increase in frequency!

Also, we really need to work on your definition of "attack," since it seems to imply that even the truest of accusations count as "attacks" as equally as hateful libel.

Ship Beta?: Feam F: Grate: Now with an action!

Lars looks at the wall, then turns to Grate as he speaks up.  "I have a bomb, but it is a nuclear device of unknown yield.  I think it might be a bit much for a door."

Grate nods. He didn't want to break the ship, or clear it alone, or discover that he wouldn't come back from being nuked, or anything like that.

"Why not remove one of the working laser cutters and drag it over to the door?"

"I could get that!"

Help with the removal and transport, as well as any needed configuration and activation, of the cutting laser.

Google Docs...which require Internet. And probably the other stuff.
...
I got nuthin'. Write it down on a hard copy, then type it in word-by-word?

riiiiiiiiiiiight. Void has existed even longer than creation...

Actually, he's exactly as old as Shys'm Caes, and hence probably creation.

Twilight has more reasonable romance than that.

Low blow, but...not entirely wrong.

That's not what I was complaining about! I wascomplaining about the fact that this entire plot is not needed and that the absence of your characters could be explained with ease.

It could be, but is that the better solution? I think not. It's certainly less satisfying.

Except you know... Back then, there was no female being able to survive in the void. And seeing as demons cannot survive in the void like Ashley, it would make complete sense that she would be the first.

1. Why can't demons survive in the Void? They're as much Void as they are Creation.
2. Right. Because there are no other female Voidwalkers. Or other female beings of Void.

Shysm'Caes and Void are twins...

I believe they're lovers, but I could be wrong.

They're both.

Except at no point did we say Ashley was the first Void walker. That is not the reason.  I believe the reason was, until recently, Void and Shys'm Caes were going to refrain from any romance for each other's sake, which all ended when the latter decided she'd rather get accidentally seduced by Selina at which point Void pretty much became free to screw anyone he wanted. In this case, Ashley.

...which leads to questions aimed at Selina.
And I seem to recall implications that this wasn't Shys'm Caes's first romantic thingy.

If by that you mean 'human revived by the Void', you're right, unless anyone wishes to object.

I'd be perfectly fine with this, and even more fine with "only human revived by the Void we're likely to meet or hear about".

Unless Void has a taste for young human/ex-human women, explaining why he hasn't had feelings for anyone; considering the most significant entities in the void are Abraxas, an asexual male, demons like Andras and Belphegor who only use the void as a form of transportation, Nyarlothep (he exists), and Set, who clearly isn't interested in sexual relations with him, among other people.

Which brings up questions about Shys'm Caes and various Void-Walkers.
And, of course, demons. Which can assume any form they like.

We said we were the exposition/information-giving NPC!

We lied.

What, so we abandon the lie ASAP so you can suicidally attack a bunch of adventurers?

Angel and Kext will, Selina won't, Logan and of course Kyle can't...scapheap, does Kuroe want to help with the smuggly folks?
