Continue to do ritual.

happiness and consciousness and empathy are chemichals and morals are artificial constructs that, idealy, help more of us survive and be happy. the universe is meaningless and pointless without people inventing a meaning and a point. the fact that the meaning and the point of the universe is artificial instead of inherent and natural shouldn't make a difference, though

If the universe if pointless, being happy is equally pointless. If people don't have souls their experiences don't matter. If awareness is a meaningless accident then it doesn't matter if we live or die. If there is nothing after death then nothing we do matters, because no one will know about it eventually.

Just saying.

Now can we stop having this depressing conversation and get back to funny stupid people? I want funny stupid people.

Not exactly. It's more like playing a video game. Let's take Minecraft as an example. Nothing you do in Minecraft really has a purpose. You are cast adrift in a seemingly infinite world with no direction, no guidance, nothing. But you can make something out of it. You can make a house; a spaceship, a fortress. Anything, really. Life without a diety is kind of like that. You may not have a guiding voice telling you what to do, but that gives you the freedom to do whatever you want. You're independent at the cost of not having that base, that certianity that dieties give you. I don't see the universe as being pointless and cruel just because I don't have an omnipotent paretn telling me what to do so I can help with their vision of the world.
I can make my own.

If you've destroyed every other nest, then who do you face in tribal mode?  Do other, random, creatures just pop up in the game, even if you haven't seen them at all in creature stage?

I assume they swam over from other continents.

But what about that goddamn sea monster?

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

I simply have to assume that either aliens were transporting them over or they flew or something.

Mythbusters did an actual controlled (for Mythbusters, at least. still better than nothing) experiment on that.

...
...
We done?
Yep.
ALL RIGHT PEOPLE, TIME TO PUT EXPLOSIVES IN EVERY RAIN DROP!

No, no, no....they just tested to see how wet you get when rocket-propelled through a hurricane.

But what if we replaced every drop of water in a hurricane with a speck of C4. Think of the outcome!

But no seriously, awesome. Walking through rain? Why don't we shoot someone through a hurricane on a rocket.
Also, sigged.

Ohey, a debate about personal belie-
Wait. I remember what happened the last time I got involved in one of these. Nupe.

People stated to worship you ?

Not exactly. Just trust me when I say it didn't end well.

Mythbusters did an actual controlled (for Mythbusters, at least. still better than nothing) experiment on that.

If any of my allies attack someone this round, I will help with the attack.

ALLIES OF ZARDAK! ATTACK ZARDAK!
