Therefore, eventually, if we continue this foolish, foolish train of thought, Bell is condemned to an untimely fate. How could you do that to her?!?!?! She's a catgirl who reads fantasy webcomics AND puts out on the first date man! The first date! In the grass no less! What's wrong with you?


Damn! I've been found out! *barricades the door before the furrie-haters come*

Relax. Most catgirls aren't furry anyway.

I like this one! He knows he's always wrong because he's a boy!

And I don't put out on EVERY first date, it's just a possibility that I might. And no, that doesn't make me a slut--if a guy did it, he'd be a hero, so that makes me a heroinne.

Huh? Dennis Hastert was going to summon Hastur from the Speaker's chair in the 110th Congress? That guy lives in my area. I don't think he's got enough mojo to summon corn from the prairie on his own, let alone call up an Elder God.

And a friend of mine is going to restart his Call oF Chthulu campaign next year. Aiieegghrrrra! 'el fthph!

Buttsex and boobage is never pointless. In fact, pointy boobage is some of the best kind :-)

And this: Re-reading, I think Kawaii was going to say REPLICA not REPLACEMENT, which would...in essence, be the same thing since the gods would rest forever and humans would be replicas of them.

After rereading that, I'm thinking replacement still. Tying back in to that oft-forgotten passage from the Lorenzel Excavations Vol 1, about the gods coming here from somewhere far away and fighting a war until one of them died and they stopped fighting and turned to rebuilding the world they had devastated... creating the Paedogogusi to help them, and then eventually creating the Dwarves and Elves and so on.

http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2003-01-06

The Dwarves and Elves (and presumably Trolls and Humans) are creations meant to replace the life on this world that was previously destroyed by the gods. Which was apparently told to the Dwarves, but decided on as too depressing for the Elves, so they got the happy-go-lucky "life is what you make of it" bit, although there's still the "...because seeing such a baren and desolate world..." bit in the passage that Nookie reads to Sarine.

Another interesting bit from that old page that I never caught before: it tells us why the gods are sleeping. Tired and drained from their war and from rebuilding the world, and wanting to return home, they are trying to regain their power. This raises the question of whether Anilis would be upset about having been woken up so soon... or if she was just sleeping in and already fully rested, and is ready to head home now

Hopefully we're about to find out something in that vein.

You know Vass, that thread you linked pretty much says nothing, that we haven't in this thread.

Your angst against us is unfounded. I been reading this comic for about 3 years now, I know enough not to ask stupid questions :D

It's time for a "consider the lummox" moment:

The discussion has been brought round again because people are interested in it again.

Whether it was discussed in the past is totally irrelevant if people want to talk about it -now-.

Thats why I said your angst was unfounded. Nice try though.

I've administrated a story discussion forum for a deeply-plotted fantasy RTS game series since about 1997, and said forum was still pretty damn popular with traffic equivalent to this forum through 2002 or so (it's Myth if anyone is interested; RMG was one of my old regulars there, and I know a lot of others read ES though they don't usually post here).

You know what happened when we stopped getting newbies coming back and asking old questions (and thus prompting the regulars to respond to those questions, bringing back up old debates and inspiring new ideas about those same old topics)?

The forum died. The only life it gets now is when a random newbie comes in, asks a stupid old question, and then suddenly the lurkers (who there are progressively fewer of these days) light up and start talking again. Just like old times.

Granted, this forum here is different because we constantly get new material to discuss about every other day or so, but still, don't underestimate the value that newbies with old questions contribute to the life of the forum.

Then again, I'm the kind of person was planning to happily sit and teach kids grammar and algebra all day every school day for the rest of my life because that's the kind of thing that interests me, until I discovered (what should have been obvious) that it doesn't really interest the kids that much, in which case I really don't care to do it. In other words, I like answering questions - if you don't, just don't bother, and the rest of us will happily take up the slack.

<i>Edit: I can spell. No really. Though I'm not too fond of teaching that.</i>

The most interesting comment in that comic is that the paedagogusi don't recognize humans -- "Not a clue, I'm pretty sure they're not any of theirs." It's possible that the pair of gods that created the elves did not, in fact, create humans at all.

I'd like to introduce you and all the other "recent" arrivals to the other twenty-seven pages of threads in this forum. They contain discussion on this and many points discussed in other recent threads. These other pages are the reason why we see the forum veterans gnashing their teeth when people come up with an "amazing new speculative theory," because the likelihood is that it's already been proposed before.


Well, sorry I didn't read all the existing threads before posting back in early 2005.

Now, on the subject of elven immortality, there's a comment Ian makes in one of the linked comics from a few posts ago:

"The third, Exitialis, is supposed to be representation of death...which a race of people capable of living forever, short of violence or accidental death, have some issues with."

{emphasis added}

http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2003-09-01

That pretty much settles that. Elves are, as the kids say, "teh 1mm0rtal".

Well damn it, you've had over a year to do it since then! Srsly.

Of course, as a lurker since the last hundred strips of EN who just never got around to registering until last year, I've already read every thread in the board. So my opinion might not carry much weight with you. >_>

Blah. Forums are like forest, there are a few posters that hang around forever and become great oak trees. There are other posters that reach the canopy and then are cut down (grow bored and leave). Then there are the sapplings. Some come and go, some stay and become great oaks themselves.

I guess lurkers are like annual weeds. They post once a year and are never heard from again till their next yearly post.
