Outrail posted:JFC. Stop telling people the truth you idiots! Lying is how we get poo poo done, just keep lying ffs. By raw totals A won the vote, to tell him and try to get a deal. But when you combine the losing options that included "don't try to get a deal, just tell him about it" those numbers exceeded A. Vote counting is hard and I don't envy Diog trying to intuit the will of Council of the Squirrels. Diog, is Tudiya's heartbeat changing at all, or his breathing?

The overwhelming majority of votes were either "tell him about Ninhursag and make the case that we should trade with them" or "tell him about Ninhursag but don't make the case to trade with them" so it seems fair to me? The options to not tell him anything were a solid minority by my back of the envelope count.

A Yeah, whatever. This is another of Diog's "do you want to put your dick in a blender?" warnings. Tudiya sucks, but pushing for trade when we can tell he won't go for it will not make him suck less.

The first take away from Badad is that they really want blue stones super bad, but they're willing to pay with the same fabulous-sounding thing for a relatively huger amount of uranium. Therefore a big amount of uranium is as valuable as a blue stone. If we happened to find a big amount of uranium, we've essentially found a blue stone. Actually using it is as mysterious to us personally as using a blue stone would be, however. I am absolutely completely convinced that uranium is able to be somehow converted into a stone by a process of concentrating it, or it can be used in a similar way to blue stones in at least some use cases, provided you have a shitload. The next thing is while Badad as it is when we went doesn't appear to match the old tales, it also doesn't necessarily conflict in any way. They're obvious extreme weirdos but if you look at literally any city of men they all follow in the footsteps of the founder: Baitel is the apex of all arts and knowledge because that's where Labaras came down from. Zepath still follows Zepa's style. All Great Cities do this. From the top to the shittiest donut city this follows. It's entirely consistent that Badad has gone completely fuckin nuts about the whole "we got plagued, we're not getting plagued again, gently caress this, gently caress everybody forever, everybody's a filthy slob except us, we aren't even going to talk normally to anybody, gently caress off. Ok maybe blue stones otherwise gently caress off, gently caress everyone forever, for serious." Also iirc the route from the edge of the salt to the oasis is in alignment with Mount Har, that doesn't mean nothing. I don't know what it means but it's a thing. A

A - Pull up, Enkidel! Pull up! Legit though, emphasize the fact that through this encounter, we have learned of the existence of other stones, and that can only be a boon since now we know to keep an eye out for them.

A, time to cut bait. I don't think we made a mistake telling Tudiya about Badad--- it seems like something worth keeping him appraised about if he didn't know it already--- but any plans to trade with them will have to wait another hundred years or so.

I say we vote A and then still investigate the ore for our personal use at the very least. If we happen to stockpile a bunch down the road I guess we see what happens.

Just gonna go ahead and say that it's really loving weird that Tudyia is so pissed off at hearing about this. We didn't trade with them. We haven't advocated trading with them. We didn't even help them in any way. We found out what they are interested in and hosed off with the info. That's what we did. Tudiya on the other hand he found that one day El had put wanderlust in his heart. So he rounded up the bulk of the mighty men and marched off into the cannibal infested jungle to a village ON THE BEACH. YOU KNOW THE BEACH WITH THE OCEAN NEXT TO IT He met Shushem and tried some friendly talk and then handed the cannibal demon priest a jug of wine as a token of friendship or something. I just can't seem to think of a reason for him to be pissed at us for telling him about the Badad/Ninurshag thing. The only reason i can think of is that Zepathans are so xenophobic that us just entertaining the possibility of communicating with an alien people should be punishable, and that we should instead have punched the self writing block of stone immediately. That's just not a good reason even for him. Basscop fucked around with this message at 02:37 on May 26, 2020 |

He's disturbed we just casually tripped over one of Ur's deepest darkest secrets while out loving around on a gap year, probably. And that's not bringing up the multiple other deep dark secrets we accidentally tripped over.

I think the most likely explanation is that what Tudiya's seen and experienced since then has changed him. Maybe it hasn't hardened his heart, but I think it has made him a lot more wary about taking risks and doing things that he considers out of the ordinary. I guess it's good that he found us when he did, right?  I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't want to be too hard on him. I think he's just shocked is all.As such, I am Voting for A. Let's take a year to see what we can smith and do and then bring it up again, maybe.

Literally everything surrounding Tudiya's inexplicable exploration/trading trip through the cannibal infested wilderness to the loving ocean is incredibly suspicious. The King and all his Mighty Men, plus his 5 year old son and Ishamal, set off on a lark with a caravan full of trade goods to make peaceful contact with whoever's in the deep southern wilds (next to the loving ocean)? Yeah right, and I've got a bridge in Dor to sell you.

Voting that we go with the original plan and push to start trading. Then follow up by asking if maybe we should send an envoy to the mountains of Fare to see if we can get a peace deal, or maybe some sort of trade agreement with them too?
