Bay 12 Games Forum

You reach out into the deep strands of logic, and commence the definition of certain qualities and aspects for entities.  Your definitions run smoothly;  GOOD is that which brings about harm to others while boosting your own ends, and EVIL is that which that which aids others.

You start attemptimg to define nonexistence and 'universe'-

"Brother, remember..."

Ah, yes.  You give clearer information, and define nonexistance as a state of existence in which one does not exist. 

If you had a mouth, you might be smiling right now.  Logical Paradoxes are so fun.

The effects, consequences and precise nature of nonexistence are as of yet still undefined.

You then define "Universe" successfully.  What exactly a "system" is is not clear;  however, this is probably a step in the right direction.



(I'm baffled as to how this got to three pages.
Delioth:     Bad person?  Hey, shut up, asshole, you've been pretty good recently!
Flameboy:  Aw, thanks for the sig.  Makes me feel warm inside.)

You define the entity's power of definition as being equal to your own.

"I...  well, that was surprising, actually.  I didn't expect you to actually do that.  You...  you do realise what you've done, don't you?  Please tell me you have."


The entity seems slightly confused and incredulous.

"In any case...  as my first definition..."

The entity reaches into the fundamental logic of reality, and defines Brotherhood as a mental or otherwise sourced, mutual, often unspoken pact of trust and comradeship or otherwise.

"See?  that's how definitions are done.  You leave hooks and vagueness you can use later.  Anyway...  Hello, Brother.  So nice of you to elevate me to your lofty status."

Once again, most of your attempts at definition fall short of their intended effect.  It appears you are attempting to define concepts without providing recquisite information;  "Define X" is a command, but no information as to what X should be defined as is given.  You manage to give vague definitions to the concepts;  however, without a broader framework, they are useless.

Defining your relationship with the entity has mixed results.  It's relationship with you is now a loving one, but love is only vaguely defined, and as such the change in relations has only a small effect on the entity;  it now expresses concepts slightly more openly.

"Definition of...  physical objects?  Good, but no starting point.  Objects useless without framework."

You attempt to smite the entity, only to find that smiting is undefined.  Nothing happens.

The same occurs upon attempting to shoot a fizzle of light;  the functions of light and fizzling are undefined, and as such have only undefined properties and effects.

In reply to your question and attempted attacks, the entity grunts angrily.

"Lack of purpose, incompetent wielding of incredible power, and attempts at violence.  Annoying, and slightly dissapointing.  Not to mention insulting.  Most powerful entity is incapable of even destroying a powerless entity they themselves defined.

PROTIP, idiot entity of so-called logic:  in undefined, unusable, unstable reality, defining concepts and grounding them very useful.   Vital to progress, even."


The entity proceeds to express a feeling extreme annoyance and sorrow.

"Foolish being did not even define my relation towards them, leaving me in flux.  Fitting."

As you define existence more closely, the entity gives a grudging expression of approval.

"Like that.  Continue.  Define undefined reality;  surroundings, nature, perhaps even physical existence.  Please."

You attempt to define "WAAAAAAGH", but do not use any information to define it.  Therefore, "WAAAAAAAGH" is only given the automatic definition of an aspect of existence named "WAAAGH".

The same happens with "Forum Game".

You briefly wonder whether you may have formulated those concepts as requests to an entity.  How bizarre;  there are no defined entities in this reality, let alone ones capable of definition!

You then define the representation of ORDER and CHAOS as anthromorphic, and like yourself.  You therefore give it the ability to think, and the ability to express concepts and communicate with you.

A concept drifts from it to you, through the blankness of the undefined infinity between you.



"...  Why  ...?"

The SOMETHING is indeed a thing.  What it is exactly, however, is as of yet undefined.

Unsettled, RadtheCad takes out his knife.

YOU are now the relatively anthromorphised incarnation of LOGIC.

You are the system behind all logical processes in existence, have the capacity to think, and can express concepts in a hereto undefined manner.

Additionally, you can define undefined parts of reality, GROUNDING them.
