IA: Watching you

[11:16] -- incomingApocalypse [IA] began pestering recreantOctopus [RO] at 23:16 --
[11:16] IA: Greetings, Chariot.
[11:16] RO: actually the names CIRRIN RUNFAR
[11:16] IA: If you do so wish.
[11:17] RO: have
[11:17] IA: In the end, it's all the same.
[11:17] RO: we talked before?
[11:17] IA: I don't think so. Do you?
[11:18] RO: no guess not
[11:19] RO: what do you want?
[11:19] IA: We are now. And when the past is dark and the future is uncertain, what is important is the present, no?
[11:20] IA: I just wanted to talk to you, as the rulebook notes.
[11:20] RO: er sure
[11:20] RO: if the rulebook says so
[11:21] IA: You don't need to reread the FLARP rulebook trying to find that line.
[11:21] IA: ...As you are doing now.
[11:22] RO: ha nice guess but your wrong
[11:22] RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR doesnt bother reading the rules
[11:23] IA: ...Then why do you still have the rulebook?
[11:24] RO: stat sheets
[11:24] RO: are you going somewhere with this?
[11:26] IA: No, no. Just asking.
[11:26] RO: you dont need to read manuals to play a game
[11:26] RO: you pick it up as you play
[11:27] IA: Sure. But that can get bad in the long run, no?
[11:28] RO: how?
[11:28] RO: if anything the one who swots up has the advantage when they first play the game
[11:28] RO: but they have less fun
[11:29] IA: You'll be prepared for more if you know what you are facing.
[11:29] IA: If you don't know what's coming, in the best case scenario, you'll have a hard time at first.
[11:29] IA: In the worst, people die.
[11:30] IA: Or maybe that's the best? Up to you to decide.
[11:31] RO: ah but you cant prepare for something by just reading
[11:31] RO: you got to go out there and just do it
[11:32] IA: That's true.
[11:36] RO: any time spend on preparing could be spent on doing
[11:36] RO: like what if we werent squabbling for leadership right now?
[11:37] IA: Or maybe you could spend the time regretting after the doing.
[11:37] RO: reget is usele
[11:37] RO: ss
[11:37] IA: Oh, sure. Death and Strength really are at a war right now.
[11:37] IA: But when I said preparing, I meant useful preparing.
[11:38] RO: asserting leadership is useful
[11:38] RO: how else are you
[11:38] RO: hang on got an analogy youd like
[11:39] RO: how else are you going to get the hoofbeasts and the chariot and the guy riding them to work together?
[11:39] IA: By having them agree at something.
[11:40] IA: Which is not happening now. They are all for the act and forgetting the cause.
[11:40] IA: A common cause can unite people.
[11:40] RO: victory
[11:41] IA: Strength does not want victory under Death's lead.
[11:41] IA: The truth is, Strength wants to overthrow Death. And Death wants to defeat the Emperor.
[11:43] RO: what a pickle
[11:44] RO: theres no common interest
[11:45] IA: That you found out yet.
[11:46] IA: You see, each one has problem with the other's lead.
[11:48] RO: yeah get that
[11:48] RO: there can only really be one leader
[11:49] IA: Sure.
[11:49] IA: Who will it be?
[11:49] IA: In the end, the chains will complete themselves. There is no real leader.
[11:50] RO: the strongest most aggressive becomes the leader
[11:51] IA: The Emperor will end up being the only leader. But of course, neither Death or Strength will accept that.
[11:55] RO: so? its not CIRRIN RUNFARs problem
[11:55] IA: Neither it is mine.
[11:56] IA: My thing is not to choose, but just to know. I just wanted to see your opinion on it.
[11:56] RO: well guess you know
[11:57] RO: what do you care for CIRRIN RUNFARs opinion anyway?
[11:57] RO: who are you?
[11:57] IA: My name is not important.
[11:58] -- incomingApocalypse [IA] changed their mood to PROTECTIVE  --
[11:58] RO: thats not what CIRRIN RUNFAR asked
[11:58] IA: You can call me a... Watcher, then.
[12:00] RO: sounds creepy
[12:01] IA: Maybe it is.
[12:02] RO: CIRRIN RUNFAR thinks
[12:02] RO: hes just going to disappear now
[12:03] IA: If you do so wish.
