They were meant to go to Io...

Oh, NOW you tell me that...

Blame the negligence of the God of Sense, Jee'em.
Deliver colonists to the correct planet.

Wonder how either Io or Luna qualify as "live-on-able".

>Depends. In game, we'll be spending a day. OOC, it depends on whether or not Kj and GWG respond.<

Not my fault I have less than an hour between class and work on Thursdays. (Accounting for travel time, I mean. Ignoring it, I have nearly two.)

I shall go to bed, fuck you elf for making a mythological trial of wisdom be answered by "the internet". Might as well make a riddle about a mousepad

What a shame that novelty is a bad thing in your eyes. Perhaps you wanted another stock riddle? How about another Hobbit riddle? Or if you wanted to go real obscure, you could rob the Pearls of Lutra!

((4th wall is a thing, making a riddle that relies on meta gaming is bad.

...How the hell does it rely on metagaming if there's an Internet in-universe?

That being said, the metaphor breaks - the internet is not a country with no land. There is no ruler, no laws, not even a sense of nationality, the internet has no characteristics of a country - by that stretch, a talk via telephone, a family, or any group of people is a country.

There is a community, however. Many communities, in fact. Bay12, GitP, Reddit, Wordpress, Twitter, Facebook, etc. They're all under one overall banner, and they need to follow laws (albeit with no "national" laws).

The markets are not caravanless either, as stuff still gets moved via some means to the trader from the producer and from the trader to the buyer.

A caravan is not merely something that moves things around; that's reason enough to doubt, but a FedEx truck is not a caravan. Caravans trade at both ends, for instance, as well as including a number of vehicles whose drivers typically share a sense of camaraderie and close-knit community.

this is why you don't make up riddles on the spot. Because some metaphors are too much of a stretch. You use them because they sound nice, but they simply do not apply. The internet is NOT the answer,

neither is the actual answer that was given "bay12 forums" - there is not even anything that can be bought here, so there is no market))

Considering that A. Elf didn't want to let the party get eaten because the answer wasn't perfect (would it be fair to have the classic Sphinx riddle failed because you said "a human" or "a person" instead of "a man"?), and B. Camille and Will got it anyways...
And, again, it was that, or use another cookie-cutter riddle, or wait hours to days for Elf to come up with a riddle that might be a bit better. It's a situation with no perfect answers, and I applaud Elf for his choice.

((Caravan is a metaphor, if Elf insists on the literal part of "dudes with camels", then it all falls apart, especialy if the solution of the riddle is modern, and "a sense of belonging" is not a country. the internet is a communication plattform, and is no more a country than a bar or a family.

Ignoring the other facts that make FedEx not a caravan and the Internet more like a country...you're demanding a metaphor for one and a literal interpretation for the other. You're being hypocritical.

"All feel my presence" does not apply either. there is a billion or more people who have not even seen a computer up close, and whose life has never had been influenced by it, at all. The metahpors of country and market might just be stretched, but "everyone feels my presence" is, simply, not true.))

And those billion people are still affected by the presence of globalization, largely driven (information-wise) by the Internet.
Besides, weren't you demanding a moment ago that caravan be a metaphor?

""Mordite. Void in purest physical form. Death to everything living." he lightly throws it to her. "Except creatures of Void, obviously. At the moment, you and demons. It can still harm them, but not as badly as creatures of Creation."

How would it affect Angel, seeing as she's a mixture of demon and human, a mixture of Creation and Void?

The guardian of the wall runs into Kyle.
Which is to say, she is a small, petite woman...made of clay and in a tunic rimmed with gold.

Which dispels my last hope of finding something Kyle can't actually seduce.

"Dunno. Bit bored. Could get food? Bit peckish."

"I assume you at least know a little on how to use them?

Those speeches look very, very similar when placed side by side, don't they?

. . .

14 point bold. Gotta remember that.

KISSU.
It's REALLY GOOD.
and REALLY HOT.
BOTH WAYS.

I get how it would be spicy, but how would the temperature have been elevated?
Pretending ignorance leads to such fun jokes.

Demons do not grow souls you idiot. If we did that then we wouldn't have need of mortal souls."

Did you miss my infodump earlier on the nature of the hellish economy? Souls are used as workers, not food or prosthetic or something.
Although...that gives me an idea for some other story stuff. *scribble scribble*

Sen gets angry with Kyle's statement and nearly punches him, "DEMONS DO NOT GET PREGNANT LECHER!" Sen then teleports near ghost using the bracelet.

If only Nuriel could hear the conversation.

Why does everyone get to go in at once?
I wanted to solve a trap by myself...

Kyle's "solutions" included flirting with a possibly-yandere wall, charging across a collapsing floor until you fell in, and solving a riddle incorrectly. If Kyle had a trap to solve all by himself, Conny would need to settle for a memorial service.

Is Kyle secretly a conduit for the Rainbow Serpent or something? Apparently one legend about it mentions it being able to enchant bodies of water so that any woman who wades in became pregnant. Sounds awfully similar to Kyle impregnating any woman who sleeps with him... you know, if bodily fluids count as small bodies of water.

Neat.
Also, are you telling me the Rainbow Serpent...ah...impregnates any women who wander into a given body? Now, that's rape powers.

there might simply be no solution, that is the problem. "The bay12 forums" at the very least should have Cyrielle swallowed on the spot

1. By your logic, Hai and Kyle should have been swallowed well before that. Why not complain about that, too?
2. Cyrielle wasn't rightfully there, and Emp was making a joke as far as I could tell.
3. The sphinx was being kind enough to accept similar answers. If Family Feud does it, why not sphinxes? Your life isn't exactly on the line on the Feud, just your dignity and maybe a few thousand dollars of winnings.
4. CAMILLE GOT THE EXACT RIGHT ANSWER!

The day Kyle finds a girl he doesn't want to flirt with will be the day I'll wait for.

+1

Aria may count as would Jacqueline. Possibly Luna as well.

And if we include ships, we have pretty much everyone in Selina's harem, Selina herself, Kyle, and of course Will.

Know what I vote for? To NOT do any of those things that require spare time and focusing in something other than battle while shooting a deadly creature, since it can lead to everyone's death.

Please focus in the battle.

We did. Then the turn didn't come. We decided on one of the very few options available, so we got bored and started prepping plans for the future.

Ssel tn iopsisiht.

a sudoku that has 100X100 squares, each square wih 100x100 boxes

The math doesn't work out. There would have to be 10x10 boxes in each square.
Also, you'd need 100 symbols. You bastard.

Kyle reachs into his holzter and pulls out the waser lsord.
Cue activation and use aganst hand.

Cue roll to not cut off own limbs.

((Stop blaming me when you didn't roll any dice! I'm an RNG god, not a shipping god!))

((Pretty sure that Projeck is referring to the fact that two characters were seemingly made for each other coincidentally. In other words by sheer random chance.))

Were actual random number generators used? Cado's a god of RNGs, not luck or fortune in general.
And, again, shipping.

how quaint that they thing Ra making a door only openable by being nice is clever, but at the same time Ra just plastered the way to open it all over the walls

It's what happened in the book he stole it from!

yeah, because the puzzles so far are so arbitrary when you can read the language, trying at least some alternative that we would have had to use if we couldn't read any of this is more fun

I find it more fun to just get through the puzzles. Also I find the image of everyone trying alternate methods while Yuri just stares at the floor... and then just walks across it.

I now have an image where people are trying various things, and Yuri points out this path that spells out "I Am Ra the Great and Terrible" or whatever. Everyone except Will and Kyle follow, Kyle having just charged across. Once everyone else is on the other side, Will, who has been grinning this whole time, walks around.

That also sounds like it would be either impossible, nigh impossible, or nerfed. Possibly two or all three.

Maybe just tell the demons preventing the aging with Angel to fuck temselves and  get someone to age her up?

1. How do you think people would react to that? Especially Angel's parents...
2. Do you really want to risk angering one of the more powerful demons in hell?
3. Go for it, if you dare.
