I hope they both found where the sun rises and its actually Azz's party palace and they're doomed to party hard and take lots of drugs with the goatman and jael and the hot melachim who get down with mortals till the end of time.

We still haven't felt Igal die, on-screen at least, so if he's survived the last 6 months he might actually have enough experience surviving in the Grasslands to have a shot?

He's going to come back hella-jacked and with a herd of horses that don't die the minute they step into Ur.

Man, Enkidel's memory is terrifying to think about. He remembers Igal's dad, and the lunch he ate on the day he first met Igal's grandfather, and the lunch Asahel ate on the day Igal was born. He can immediately recall that information on demand. Weirdo. Weeeeiiiiiirrrrddooooo.

Five hundred and sixty three days ago we had food (three loaves of bread, a dozen eggs and a bucket of orange juice), then more food (eight beef sandwiches and five handfuls of fried potato), then more food (half a roasted sheep). This was in Acco and between all that some poo poo happened with some giants and a big flame. Oh, and the sandwich had pickles on it.

In an alternate playthrough, Enkidel somehow becomes a food blogger.

A friend sent a link to this thread in January, and I've been reading ever since. Finally caught up on all 500+ pages of Diog's posts! What an adventure, I'm glad Enki isn't dead yet so I can vote.

Worst decision: Toss up between Billy and Chait. I understand wanting to prove you don't have to breathe, but those consequences were awful. And Azzazel still hasn't forgiven us :cry:. Chait is whatever, we're going to Seir in a few years (right??) it was just dumb since we could have literally said nothing and it would have ben fine because we didn't kill the woman.

Crackpot theory: This is a hard one, since I only read Diog's posts I don't know what's been discussed or debunked or is otherwise common knowledge. El is the one true God, of course. The Mountain is a giant soulstone that powers El's ominpotence/power over Ur. We could one day be like Amos and Amok, if we bide our time and get some El-damned answers about the world from the aliens or Earth mother or anyone since Ish ain't gonna say poo poo.

I've missed a ton of artwork, I'm sure. Carine Tools still cracks me up thinking about it.

El is real. We've been personally rebuked by him before for making inappropriate sacrifices and for praying for the Orm. Other stuff has happened too, but anyway the idea that there isn't an El or Ea or El-Ea or whatever is crazy talk given everything we've seen. The rest of it sounds as plausible as any of the other weird poo poo we think up and can't confirm.

The mask is the face.

Even if you're willing to entertain this obviously fake concept, by wearing the "El mask" whoever is "underneath" has destroyed whatever attributes they may have had and assumed only El attributes. Can't act or even think as not-El or everyone would know, all the beings at that level can tell from your metabrain hyperwaves.

El is El in a utilitarian sense that he does only El-stuff. But also in his substance, not merely in his image, as if someone were trying to fake it.

If some being could in any way pretend to be El how could it have any similarity to "a fox, but a god?" Even "the ideal trickster" couldn't cut it. The only thing that could be big and powerful enough to pretend to be El would literally be El by virtue of this incredible might and spiritual hugeness.

Lmao @ the amazing stein. The prefect vessel when getting trashed on American macrobrews, I really gotta get my poo poo together for this next snulsmas.

This upcoming snusmas involves hexafluorosilicic acid unless I get someone on team hunger. Maybe even then I'll still need it we'll see. Shellfish allergies could really blow the deal.

Also reiterating tree cyoa was probably my fav, that was a really good one.

I kind of feel like we shouldn't bother doing a big debrief with Ishamal. Or at the very least just handle it as an info dump and leave without asking for sage advice or question time. I assume he knows everything that went on already and won't comment on any of it. It feels like every interaction with ishamal he moves our relationship to be more and more arm's length and transactional. I'd rather just reciprocate than getting frustrated over it like we usually do.
