  1. @Darthe can I ask if your wonderful scenes are indicative of gameplay? As in it really seems like in your story someone got NKd and then revived by the Doc. Can we take this as what happened or could it be due to hider or bpv?
  2. So you are saying that if Dice is the wolfiest wolf of all time or lock clear town that is irrelevant? I think even if we are not going to eliminate him it still feels pretty important to resolve this issue (if possible) to help solve. Something about your logic is just setting me on edge. Cannot put a finger on it. Can I ask why did you bring up we should all post if I were cop, doctor etc., just to drop it again without further mention. Did DPR think it was a bad move? Too obvious? Something doesn't feel right. Did anyone else notice that in the night Turin pops up to set up an attack on Verb and then DPR takes over. Like a tag team. After a bit Turin comes back into the thread and walks back his pro-Dice arguments. Am I just paranoid?
  3. No I meant the sisters Vandene and Adeleas, specifcally - I'm rubbish with names so I had to look them up. From The Path of Daggers, Here we can see that it is the laws of the Tower that are specific in deciding what constitutes a weapon or the limitations of use of the Power. This text also makes it difficult to see how Elaida could use the Power to punish Egwene, at least without breaking the law. But it is clear that Sisters can put people to the Question, with Power-fueled violence that is far more limited by in its scope by Tower law than the Three Oaths. It seems fairly clear to me that questioning and punishing, in the terms of the Aes Sedai, don't constitute weapons. It is entirely consistent that a legal execution would also not come under this category. "Use as a weapon" is a phrase that is nearly meaningless without context. It is like the Roman concept of violence. Caesar's last words were reportedly "What is this? Violence against Caesar?" (not "Et tu, Brutus?"). Caesar was indignant as though Roman society was to our language inherently violent - to the Romans, such things as gladiatorial games, warfare, executions, etc., were not violence, they were morally and socially sanctioned actions. Illegally stabbing someone in Rome (where all weapons were banned, except for the Praetorians) was a shocking and, moreover, rude act Caesar considered himself above.
  4. It is also worth pointing out that civilisation is further complicated by the patriarchy. And I'm not meaning that all men are mean and horrible, but the inheritence of property through the male line. The more advanced your civilisation, the more property you have. In a patriarchal inherentence model, female fidelity becomes incredibly important to ensure property remains in the "right" hands. Laws were introduced to protect property, not liberty, I believe is the accepted truth in sociology. When we are looking at customs in ancient civilisations we are generally looking at the upper classes, not the peasantry or the lowest social orders. And I have certainly never seen anything to suggest that poor, ill-educated people in any age don't rut like bunnies. It is definitely an interesting theory, but I think it would be difficult to estimate the impact of STDs in a world with no antibiotics, no germ theory, no access to clean water etc etc. Anyone surviving childhood is going to be as tough as nails.
  5. Can anyone point out the difference to me between "I don't want to be modkilled" Dice's answer and "I got answer from the mod" Dice's answer? I'm so dumb they look exactly the same to me.
  6. This seems a bit sus (you can follow the quote to see full context). Dice was leading 5/4. Then Rand votes DPR (so now 4/4) then Verb UNVOTES as above in Dice's commentary. So the trains aren't tied and it had nothing to do with Verb. We're not talking about Zander here so why the issue basic arithmetic that is being used to throw shade on Verb?
  7. Talk to him again before starting while the bonus is still active?
  8. We come in peace, take us to your leader.
  9. Thank you. At last, some appreciation.
  10. Sure, we don't have to deal in absolutes - but I still think it is a smoking gun that DPR's "mistake" was a large contributer to a town miselimination, and Marsh pointed out he was wrong, and so did another player, but he brushed it off, and after the elimination he doubles down on it wasn't his fault.
  11. Irrelevant point maybe but Sinister knows how to nest quotes without it becoming unreadable.
