he/him. Someone once said to me that studying gods is blasphemy and an offense. I responded, "You're offended that easily? Then what would you do if I said I wanted to reach apotheosis?"
Do you read me? Allow me to paint you a picture. I'm sat on an afternoon with nothing to do except study and relax, my area is clean, I've got all my busy work done. I sit down with a good book and a cup of tea. I take a sip. "This tastes like shit." Got it?
Do you read me? I have elected to reject the premise of "god tier" being the only path forward. I will find another path to apotheosis, one that I obtain on my own terms. Got it?
Do you read me? This was likely said in mock, but I will choose to take it as a compliment. Got it?
Do you read me? I just know you to be fond of sarcastic quips. Got it?
Do you read me? Wait, Protah and Kyries are actually going to be working together? Has hell frozen over? Got it?
Do you read me? Been getting into alchemy (not game) lately. Got it?

Do you read me? Well, I'm a novice admittedly, but I can turn gold into lead. Which is not useful really. Got it?
[ >HM. WELL. IT'S A START! LEAD IS QUITE USEFUL FOR CHUCKING RIGHT INTO THE NUGBONES OF GHOSTS GOBLINS GHOULIES SKELETONS AND SHADOWDROPPERS ALIKE_ ]
Do you read me? I like the character yes, my glasses are even similar to his own. Got it?
Do you read me? For the record, since she hasn't posted about it, frog breeding went well. We should be able to finish it next week. Got it?
Do you read me? Sifting through choices to see their eventual outcomes is time consuming but at least it also actually sucks. Got it?
Can you work backwards from the outcome to compile the decisions you need to get there, instead?
Do you read me? Eventually maybe? Seems like a god tier thing though. Also, not every choice is mine to make so... Got it?
Do you read me? I will consider this course. Thank you for the advice. Got it?
Do you read me? Ran diagnostics, nothing appears to be malfunctioning right now... Got it?
Do you read me? I do wish I could account for my void player in my calculations more readily, but I suppose that would go against their nature. Got it?
Tell me about it. Ou(R) Void playe(R) i§ al§o §omeone who'§ WAY too no§y fo(R) thei(R) own good too. §o we (c)an't eve(R) totally a(c)(c)ount fo(R) what they'(R)e going to do, & they'(R)e alway§ t(R)ying to get into othe(R)§' bu§ine§§. ™
Do you read me? I wouldn't go that far, I can always simply talk to her, even if what she says is cryptic as hell. Got it?
Ou(R) Mage & §ee(R) playe(R)§ a(R)e the one§ that tend towa(R)d the (c)(R)ypti(c). The Void playe(R) ju§t like§ to me§§ a(R)ound with thing§ that I'd p(R)efe(R) they didn't play with. I wi§h I had mo(R)e patien(c)e fo(R) the (c)(R)ypti(c) §tuff. And mo§t §tuff. ™
Do you read me? It could be fun, but a cryptic message is just not as useful as a direct one. Especially given the one track minds I happen to play with. Got it?
Do you read me? There was a 70% chance she just would not do it if left to her own devices, this is more efficient. Plus I feel my knowledge of choices will be helpful in picking the correct one. Got it?
Do you read me? I have done the analysis, and of course it's the natural conclusion. We have a greater chance at success if I god tier. Yet I hesitate. It's not logical. Perhaps there's a bug in one of my processors that's giving me pause. Got it?
Do you read me? My display renders that too small to actually determine what emotion you're conveying. Is it one of mocking? Got it?
Do you read me? I see, I apologize for the assumption. Truthfully I don't know if I have much more to say, I'll just have to run a diagnostics scan to determine the issue. Got it?
Do you read me? Hah, perhaps you're correct. If nothing comes up I'll try that. Got it?
Do you read me? Knowing that victory is obtainable increases the odds of it happening. If you know what your target is, you may follow the correct path to the outcome you desire. That is where the true power of a mage comes in. Got it?
Do you read me? Prepare a thousand countermeasures, and if one pays off? Perfect. Got it?
Do you read me? When life and death are on the line, being over prepared is better than underprepared. Got it?
When life and death are on the line, measuring twice and cutting once is better than wantonly cutting.
Do you read me? Having something prepared and throwing it out randomly are different. Got it?
Do you read me? You misunderstand. I have prepared for much more than that, preparations however can be multipurpose. Besides, I've had plenty of cycles to do so. Got it?
Do you read me? Hm, one night I should look into god tiering. Got it?
Do you read me? I should get into a fight sometime. Combat data is great but first hand experience is still key. Got it?
Do you read me? I am, gathering much data from this site. Is any of it useful? I am gathering much data. Got it?
Do you read me? Have you ever played checkers with 3.75 caegars on the line? Got it?
