The OB needs a Time of Troubles.  The alcohol spirits should be cast down to walk the forums in mortal form.


I don't know what this means, but it sounds pretty fucking cool.

*dons nerdly looking D&D hat*

The Time of Troubles was when all the gods were cast to the prime material plane (ie; the fantasy earth) because a couple of them were raving kleptomaniacs and cutting their hands off tends not to work on abstract concepts masquerading as humans.  So all their priests lost their spells and if you killed a god, you got to steal their portfolio and place in the heavens.

will kill Scotch if this comes to pass.

Triple Zero

It's, like, non-linear post-modernism.

If you can do a jump cut in a film or a video, why can't you do it in a book?

Jasper

Because it's pretentious as fuck and doesn't really add anything meaningful.

Triple Zero

no man,

because it's like an example, of like the relavitiy and non-localness of time and space, man

and that it's all subjective

you know
