Hey, makes sense. Explains his desire to destroy all evil, since evil could release the demon and he doesn't know where the axe is.

"I have it on very good authority that replacing or repairing my hand wouldn't damage the murder-thought. You can see how I might've thought you were trying to excersise some sort of control over me. I am interested in your offer of refining it, I must say, but I'd rather focus first on the armor. The sliver I have is somewhat immaterial, you should know beforehand. I'll show it to you nonetheless if it cooperates."

Take blacksmith off my 'potential murder' list, and if he agrees show him perfect SILENCE.

I've heard it best explained that they don't have empathy for anything else, which makes them unable to look at their fellow Ork being exploded by rockets and make the connection "shit, that might happen to me, I better run away".

This is also why it's so effective to kill an Ork boss in a duel, because every Ork there will look at their boss being killed by the dude and go 'oh damn, boss got killed and I'm not as good as the boss! Better run!' without considering that they all could just mob the dude.

Jack's countenance lightens somewhat.

"Ah, good! You haven't forgotten. I do have a sliver of perfection on/in/with my person, matter of fact. If you've any more specific instructions for me, give 'em now.

Oh, and yeah questions."


He focuses intently on the blacksmith.

"You're absolutely certain that replacing my hand would remove my murder-thought? Entirely sure. Not telling a falsehood to your knowledge in any way whatsoever. Because if you were, out of fear of me or somesuch, now would be a good time to fess up."

Was your lie intentional?

Why would orks respect their enemies? Orks always win.

What I find funny about this is it is sort of self-defeating... but it makes so much sense from a psychological standpoint.

It reminds me of a old movie I watched about this villain who is nearly all powerful, no one can close to defeating him. Yet the only thing he wants is to find someone who can defeat him because being invincible is kind of boring. Yet every time someone who is about to defeat him appears he wimps out and cheats in some fashion to win... He wants someone to defeat him but he doesn't want to lose.

The Orks think themselves the best and that they always win. Yet their entire lives rely on finding opponents that will not go down so easily.
Kung Fu Hustle?

"Hmm. I do not fancy going in there without an escape route, and cutting down one of those trees is going to likely anger the being I'd like to talk with. One of you go knock on the door, so to speak."

Suggest someone go knock on one of the tree trunks like a door and announce our presence. Maybe the trees will unfold or something.

"Oh, not much. Found out some things I need clarification on. Discovered a new mystery to unravel. Got clothes."

see? completely as valid as 'tau stupid buttfaces who die when anything notices them'
I feel like there's a fallacy at play here, but I'm not sure exactly how...something about the opposite of the Golden Mean Fallacy...
probably but who really cares

Has it occurred to anyone that a good chunk of the reason the chaos gods are so fucked up and powerful is because the majority of humans live in a horrifying hellscape that they cannot escape excepting through death?  They're just a reflection of the collective unconscious of thinking beings.  Maybe the reason Tau barely register in the warp is because they feel comfortable and secure?  It isn't like GW is even attempting to establish what the hell is actually happening in the 40Kverse, they just throw some mumbo-jumbo at the wall and see what sticks.
well yeah the entire point of GW's 'everything is canon but not everything is necessarily true' policy is that you can interpret the setting in literally any way you want, so kot's 'humans best xenos inferior trash' and rolep's 'guys tau aren't all that bad and imperium is super space catholic nazi dictatorship remember' are both equally valid

1556
Tired thought: if the Tau tried to implement Emperor's plan of 'starve chaos via no religion pls' it'd actually work since tau souls are small and don't provide much adequate nutrition for warp entities

And for those things too hardcoded to be modded, TWS2? ;)
Seems like the best goal to aim for, to be honest.

After all, Crusader Kings 2 is the better remembered one.

((actually I don't know if there even was a ck1))

"One moment."

Jack puts on his newfound clothes, seemingly savouring the sensation.

"It's been a while. I didn't think that clothes could make a difference to how you feel, but they really do. I almost feel complete."

He takes a deep breath, closing his eyes for just a moment. He exhales sharply through his nose and the eyes snap back open again, focusing intently on all three of them.

"Speaking of which, I have a few questions for you, blacksmith, if you don't overly mind. Won't take any of your time, I assure you."

His lips twitch upward in imitation of a smile, but it seems slightly forced - his eyes stare too intensely and the cords in his neck can be seen tensing just slightly.

Put up a veneer of civility, for politeness' sake.
