>Loki is referenced in two stanzas in Völuspá hin skamma, found within the poem Hyndluljóð. The first stanza notes that Loki produced "the wolf" with the jötunn Angrboða, that Loki himself gave birth to the horse Sleipnir by the stallion Svaðilfari, and that Loki (referred to as the "brother of Býleistr") thirdly gave birth to "the worst of all marvels".

Arright, the subject was bound to come back up sooner or later So now is about a good a time as any.

I don't have to cut from the same cloth to make the exact same outfit storytellers have been using since the dawn of time; I really just don't feel the obligation.

Figment's of human imagination are subjected to the flaws and character traits of their creators. The same wouldn't necessarily be true if gods actually existed. I mean, if these beings have managed to create a society stable enough to last a few hundred years without a upheaval major enough to usher a change in administration they'd do it by avoiding behaviors that contribute to societal decay--which includes excessive sexuality as a contributing variable.

I could rattle off the list of every theological, mythological and historical instance where sleeping around--through natural consequences--lead to disastrous results for people and community involved, but I'm saving that for a future story post but I'll give you the last sentence of the spiel:

"...So anyone who is responsible for the security and future of the next generation and chooses to treat the method of propagation for an entire species like a novelty is a big jackass in my book."

>What did you have in mind?
Well, you've kind of got the Machiavellian or mad-scientist exploitative ways to enjoy ourself down. I was thinking we need a little more, say, Coyote thrown in there. Doings things merely because they're fun, or interesting, or for the pure joy of messing with someone or pulling a prank. There are countless ways we can use trickery and intellect to benefit ourself or crush our foes, but it's a little too direct to do all the time. We get to be capricious, playfully unpredictable. Not the cold fire- but the warm one that dances and laughs, and that you're never quite sure if it's going to burn you.

The best result is really to get things to the point that others can't really tell what our game is at any given point. And we helping them, having a bit of fun, messing with them, or secretly moving the pieces to further our long game? Or doing all at once.

tl;dr a little less evil chessmaster, with a little more magnificent bastard.

>Gunnlöð was seduced by Odin, who according to the Prose Edda bargained three nights of sex for three sips of the mead and then tricked her, stealing all of it.

Hmm, one last try, to see if we've been talking past each other.

I'm not asking you to compete with Norman Mailer's corpse here. If you want to do a fade to black where porno music would be the appropriate background I would generally prefer that. The internet is not about to run out of porn, and I'm not part of the furry fandom that the local pornmongers seem to provide for anyway.
That said, I'd find it really lame if you're going to censor out fun bits of myth like Loki's bestiality mistake. Similarly, I would find a story about gods and goddesses with a focus on trickery would be crippled by a "PG-13" rating.

You know you can be a real pain in the butt sometimes, but there are the times where you just make my day.

good question (despite the fact I sort of fed it to you)

>>77840

and all wonderful suggestions (with an exception youknowtheone)


>>77866
I've read the Edda in both poetic and prose, several translations each. I attend the local Ásatrú/Theodist forum where new and experienced followers of the Old Custom discuss their beliefs both practically and academically. I have myself have the same tribal heritage as these people I converse with (granted, its mixed with just about every other ethnicity of the world). I've gotten know these myths quite well and the mindset of the people who tell them. Rest assured your examples do not fall on deaf ears (or in this case, blind eyes).

Still, accepting that knowledge, I also can view this subject from the sociologist's, psychologist's and (child) psychotherapist's point of view and say with absolute frankness that if you're not careful playing with sex will mess you up. Sure, many in my profession as a whole likes to wave the subject off by saying it's at most a social nuisance when loves and friendships go sour, but I tend to subscribe to the theories and case studies that don't agree with the conventional wisdom of that assertion. I've seen it in other people I work with, I've seen it in kids growing up and I've seen it in myself; experience and observation tell me otherwise.

Anyway that's getting off topic and probably a good deal more than vain to wave around my credentials like some sort of victory flag--so don't feel bashful of reminding me of that fact; If my ego gets too big just poke it with a pin.

I'm sorry; addressing your point--sociologically/anthropologically speaking, the function of human sexuality is social unity (and yes, the character Unity may have something to do with that). It strengthens the bonds between the people involved and creates new ties between families. Now if someone were to treat those bonds and ties lightly and decided to be free with whom or how she shared that experience, its going to create a big frustrated knot of relationships. Seeing as how, once people take the relationship to the next level, there's an increase in how much the participants identify with each other. This leads to a sense of singularity, as though the other person were an extension of the self. Of course, when that extension of yourself starts doing the same thing with a bunch of other people without your knowledge or consent and you find out about it, you're going to get a little more than peeved that she valued your connection so cheaply. This leads to feelings of possessiveness, jealousy, betrayal and eventually lots and lots of DRAMA. It's like when a tool is used for the wrong purpose, like a woodsman using an sword to chop down a tree or a car mechanic using a finely-tuned and sensitive torque ratchet as a party noisemaker. Eventually the tool wears down over extended periods of misuse and eventually becomes broken and nonfunctional, except maybe for indulging in repetitive habitual behaviors.

Now, lets see. You're trying to haggle with me, but I'm not one to set aside my philosophy and principals for popularity... But that doesn't mean we can't find some middle ground that will content (if not satisfy) the both of us. Why don't I just approach this from the angle of what I will and won't do?


I WILL:

-Allow you to pursue or court whomever you please within reason. Just don't go boy-crazy monkey-spaz on me.
-Permit you flirt, seduce or bribe anyone it makes sense to so long as it is in a not explicit manner (that includes whatever happens off-camera.)
-Grant you the privileged of engaging in intimacy where 1.) There is an overwhelming majority to do so and 2) makes perfect sense in the situation and for the character.

You do have the ability to make decisions for yourself, after all.

I WILL NOT:

-Display or condone any explicit or provocative descriptions or expressions of any sort.
-Guarantee my usual medium-fast pace of updates in such an event.
-Shield or protect your from the resulting consequences of your actions.
-Enjoy the process.


Now if after all this you still decide to jump ship, all I can say is good luck, farewell, godspeed and thanks for all the fish.

Okay, needed to take a breather and exercise after that. Kids are taking nap-time so that frees me up to address the rest of your response.

As you've already seen I am perfectly comfortable with innuendos, euphemisms and straight up sex talk (talk about sex, not the other way around). Sexual humor always has its day, and I'll recognize that here. Stuff like Loki's gender/species-identity crisis is the sort of stuff you can throw around here and in the story. Also R-rated topics are always on the table, but I will alter the way the events are presented in an unmistakable but unobstuse manner.

Whether or not you'll find it lame I have little way of knowing, since like you I know very little about you. What I do know Is you've tagged along so far which clearly expresses your interest, but as to how far you'll stay on this ride is entirely up to you--so you'd be better at answering that question than I would.

Yeah, fine, that's exactly what I was looking for.
We have had quest-runners here that try to pretend that people do not have sexuality, lead the characters into situations where sexuality is actually a relevant topic or response, and then fail to handle responses involving sexuality gracefully and reasonably. That's what I was getting at, and why I was needling you about waving such a big NO stick regarding the subject of sexuality. (Reference: June Quest. Really, people do that.)

> though I do have to admit I'm a bit disappointed to learn that whether in-and-out is in or out is a deal breaker for you.

Since the topic of social justification interests you perhaps you could use a more-accurate idea of what my opinions on the subject (regarding censorship of sexuality) are.

>if you're not careful playing with sex will mess you up

No disagreements with this statement. None at all. Finished discussion, I agree with you.
Where I differ is about the implications in typical American censorship practice (i.e. MPAA codes) that says sex is worse than violence.
Troll position: We should censor violence, which messes people up a lot more than sex (without violence) *first.* There is more room for legitimate practice of sexuality in a just society than legitimate practice of violence. Stop the news from traumatizing people with wars, terrorists, rapists and murderers, for the children!

Now why would that be wrong? Hint: People need understanding to make appropriate decisions. Accordingly there are remarkably few valid justifications for censorship other than the protection of jusifiable, personal privacy. Protecting people from knowing things generally isn't one (grand juries in such legal systems are a notable exception, double blind analysis is another). That's my position in general on censorship.
There are other, supporting factors for why I believe that the typical American practices regarding cultural censorship of sexuality are misguided at best, but discussing the topic in depth gets tedious when dealing with the sort of person that didn't already reach roughly my position by reading the relevant STI, rape and unplanned-pregnancy statistics from reputable sources. The short of those are that ignorance carries a price, directly results in unnecessary risks and mistakes, and enables exploitation and other victimization.

Now the topic of myth and legend is specifically relevant because there are few better cultural treatments of how people's shortsightedness and stupidity bites them on the ass than our deep cultural heritage. That is why I'd recommend you shouldn't censor it; as long as people remain ignorant and foolish we need to openly discuss the results of ignorance and foolishness. Such a discussion fails if we don't honestly treat the causes of, and draws towards, being ignorant and foolish. If it were otherwise the Reagan, "Just say no to drugs," campaign would've solved America's drug problems.

I was engaging you on the abstract/political level at which you were arguing for treating sexuality as a subject worthy of censorship. Once you get past that error the practical side is easy. Let's do practical advice.

I mentioned the idea of Tory exercising Zeus-level sex drive and you posted an overprotective father meme. That was graceless. For starters you missed an opportunity to introduce your saga's answer to Gefjon(?) or Fulla to directly editorialize about sexuality like that (if you really couldn't stop yourself).

There's more to it than that though: I would not assert that Tory's bedpost-notch collection would or should get into the Zeus/Aphrodite league. (It would surprise me since she's no fertility or love goddess.) That said, for her to neither have or seek romantic partners would make virginity a significant deity feature and add the thematically-related associations with childbirth, fertility, honesty, and prophecy/fortune telling. That's different from, and clashing with, a trickster focus and doesn't work without establishing a different character from Tory to be that virgin. Following from that the question of what kind(s) of romantic opportunities/offers she might pursue/accept, how aggressively and how carefully, is therefore a worthwhile topic that shouldn't just be shut down.

I see your position, but sometimes it's hard to tell with people. I can't tell if I'm discussing with somebody's literacy or libido, so seeing as how this is the internet I just assume the worst. Just to take a quick stroll around the web is to encounter preferences so bizarre and unearthly, it just leaves an awful taste in my mouth.

I joke about not willing to let this character grow up and develop on her own, but my real concern is that this quest may degrade into some fetish fiction. I respect my creations and other's as if they had a life of their own, and it hurts me to think that someone would rather think of a character as a puppet to play sex-doll with than as a person. Most of the characters here are based off of my own family and friends, myself, even. I mean, who knows? Someday I might look at my kids and see the same traits I shared with one of my characters in them.

Look, you obviously a smart guy, but I can't really discuss this topic anymore with out getting into some personal experiences--and it's always a bad idea getting personal on an imageboard. I've found this challenging, enlightening and enjoyable (though naturally a little eustress-ful, like a workout for me brain.) If you'd like to continue I invite you to email me. I've put my address in the email and title fields. Otherwise, lets just stick to the parts where we agree. You can work to achieve the goals you want to accomplish within the parameters I've set.

I've tended to find that the best way to avoid making porn is to avoid making porn. Consider how the webcomic/quest "Prequel" handles it with a scene-jump fast-forward:

http://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/03/164/

That *should* be sufficient to the task of handling those problems, and if it isn't I can see what else I can find to recommend to you.

When a story includes porn it hasn't necessarily degraded at all. There's no obligation to remain smutty. One may return to not porn as easily as one may write another chapter catering to the next guy's fixation. I find authors/creators have this irrational fear that once they start writing sex scenes they won't be able to stop. It's patently untrue of course.

I'll give you a little spoiler, since the family tree post is next. This family, like the pantheons of many other myths have a different perspective on who makes an appropriate mate and how distantly you should be related to said person, but stop that thought! It's not in the way you'd think.

It's up to you guys how you want to use that freedom, as the ramifications aren't clear until they happen, but I suppose you're right: I try not to make assumptions--I just prepare for the worst.
Oh I see; should have clarified. The title 'it's not what you think' was referring to the god's cultural standards being superficially similar but quite atypical to the norm, not the significance of the sim statement. Still, what it eventually entails in your hands.

Anyway, back to the kitchen with me; I've greased up this keyboard quite enough already. Next post sometime tmo or reaaaally late tonight.

Yeah, you've twisted my attempt to comment on the inbreeding of pantheons. What I'm left with is a responsibility to provide useful relationship advice to a woman that hears voices in her head. (Which is likely to be a whole lot of no, no, never, no, you're too irresponsible to be a mother, no, and no.)
I could complain that you're being awfully expansive in your interpretation of how a pantheon is formed: As a rule it's incest all the way because of the nature of how most creation myths work. On the other hand, you've just released me from the need to search out concept art and screenshots of Redneck Rampage so my laziness thanks you.

Not trying to be rude here (not to you, anyway) just calling it as I see it. (>>78104) Besides, you don't get a monopoly on incest jokes. Maybe you and the QM are too busy having a lobe-measuring contest to stop the competition and realize that all the jokes you are trying to tell to each other are taken seriously by the other party. But I'm not here for you, I'm here for him.

So what's the game you're playing now, eh, Puppet-Master? Taking another pass at making disaster? First you make a big fuss over sexual relations, and then suddenly decide it's worth all the temptations? You get in an argument with a difficult quest-er, and then suddenly you both are best friends for-ev-er? You turned the fight around and had him eat out of your hand, then you start the fight all over right where it began? Don't pretend that was improvised 'cuz it had to be planned. So what's the skinny, what's the deal? Why are you playing with people's emotions and 'feels'? What's the truth, what's the angle? How do you keep the strings out of a tangle?

I think he's referring to me "breaking character" or "breaking good."

Before I QM'd I hung out a lot in other people's quests, my favorite was Dungeoneer. In it I tried to be smart, people didn't like it and as a result (and through some un-anticipated circumstances) it blew out of proportion into a full fledged flame-war. After that people have had the perception that I'm a jaded and retaliatory child who can't keep his emotions in check.

If you're reading this, kid, you know who you are. ಠ_ಠ

This fellow was someone who tried to guide and correct me in the finer points of suggesting when that turned into another argument (though this time it wasn't with me.) He's essentially saying that he doesn't believe I'm the 'Mr. Nice Guy' I'm trying to make myself out to be, and that I have some sort of agenda with the recent discussion between me and A(nonymous) Cow(ard).

Since then people have been wary of me in other quests, for which I don't blame them.



But never mind that ancient history; there was a chess game between the two of us that I would love to see finished. Whose turn was it again?

Yours. My last move was:

>>/quest/548048
>(And speaking of pawns. a3).

I did love subverting the senseless murder quest by quietly playing a game of chess in the background. (I'm surprised no one complained, really!). But I made a rule to myself I was only going to move if I had something to suggest, and since the quest hasn't updated in two weeks we're probably not going to finish that.

I suppose the nice game of chess outlasting the murder game is a victory of sorts, in and of itself.

You and I are not friends, so his suggestion that some kind of conspiracy was carried out against him between the two of us is silly. There's no camaraderie between us two, just a mutual understanding. The fact that our understanding of it is different isn't particularly relevant.

We clearly have different values, the sum total of my emotional investment in the entire saga hasn't exceeded very mild irritation. What's important is not making asses of ourselves and each other anymore, or at least as often. Which we accomplished.

I'm trying to provide useful guidance to someone that seems to be a novice questfaggot. I'm gambling that they have adequate brainpower that it's worth it to try and school them in questing.
Frankly, namefaggot drama is dumb, and boring: People need to learn that anonymity is a really good thing. It allows us to minimize the 'halo effect.*' This allows more lulz, makes it easier to ignore dumb, and helps people get past remembering how dumb you were when you learn better. However, since it seems Theo didn't lurk moar we have to either deliver the lessons they should've learned by lurking moar or shun them until they've lurked moar. Maybe you should lurk moar, namefaggot.
I'm indirect in how I explain shit because most people think they, and their ideas and beliefs, are smarter than they really are. So you have to go around them thinking they're right to the dumb reasons that they think they're right. I find it tedious but the alternative is to just ignore them.
If you want me to stop that's negotiable. I want more quests without weeaboo and furfaggotry that I don't have to run myself: Make an offer.

You had just made a startling admission that you hadn't gone as far as making a creation myth. This seems oddly negligent since the question of why gods exist, what they do, and how they're different from mortals tends to flow from it. I mean you made a statbuilder system first before starting, but no creation myth for a deity setting, WTF?
Let me try to explain why I think this is pants-on-head retarded. In D&D tabletop the base assumptions you work with are different: They've built a superstructure of fantasy-avatars, murder, statbuilder and ruleslawyering, that means that a novice DM can and will be told to stop worldbuilding and let them get to the fantasy genocide. In a sense that statbuilder and those rules are the true setting and story, and whatever fantasy 'fluff' the DM comes up with is a distraction from the real game--they want their barrels of shiny loot and furlongs of XP so they can start pimping their *personal* fantasy-avatars and play the actual Player's Guide min-maxing game. In contrast, here we don't have those same base features: The player character is shared between the players unless you're doing something experimental and weird, so the 'fantasy-avatar' and related statbuilder stuff won't work the same way in either direction. That changes the logic of time-to-kobold-murder. This, along with the fact that the QM as a rule is not working from a premade box-set adventure and a premade box-set rules system, causes us to work on a more story- and setting-driven logic of what we can and cannot do.
How to get out of this mess is something I'm less certain about. I'm not sure where to start building your creation myth here because gods erupting, fully-formed, out of primal chaos is generally an early-existence phenomenon. Other explanations for how Tory came to exist as a deity of adult form and no previous memories could include the sort of Athena-birth weirdness that's hard to make up because it's so insane. One more would be that another deity had been destroyed and some impersonal force of reality spawns a replacement out of primal chaos. You can also use my paranoid raving about kidnapping and brainwashing, if you're feeling gutsy and willing to do the homework.
But take the hint here, eh? Your choice of creation myth is directly relevant to the question of where the main character came from and what she's supposed to be doing. That you don't have one is a pretty big fail.

P.S. Anonymous Coward is the default placeholder for names on Slashdot, like 'Anonymous' here in questdis, and 'Suggestion' in quest. Apparently I shouldn't hint around you?

I said that I hadn't 'gotten to' the origin story (WITH YOU EMPHASIS ADDED) yet, not that I simply waived on making one. There's more than one way to interpret that statement and I'd at least appreciate the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the specifications of my own story.

Well okay then. Forgive me for not understanding you, but I thought it would be obvious from reading the thread that you hadn't told us the creation myth yet. Having one and not telling it yet makes perfect sense because it's good form to establish some character and scene first before you get us to ask for the TL;DR paragraphs.
In light of that, which I thought was obvious, it seemed like you could only mean that you hadn't made your creation myth yet. Please excuse the interpretation error, but I like to think it wasn't unreasonable.

Maybe so, but due to some recent events, the loss of my data and some key elements in that troll's writing that sound uncannily familiar, I'm inclined to believe it's someone I know getting back at me for chastising him in front of his high school buddies.

Dear intriguing and mysterious stranger,

I have been reading your quest and have found it somewhat to my liking, but I with my outsider's perspective, I've noticed a few things that, if altered, could improve your quest.

1- Your writing could use some draftsmanship. You tend to repeat the same words too frequently too close together, and while the additional misspellings and grammar issues are commonplace everywhere, they tend to be avoidable. It's also almost in-real-time in its slow pace--which isn't necessarily a bad thing--but such a style tends to lend itself to an older audience; the same kind of audience that still communicates with people via hand-written letters and expect intermissions when watching feature films.

b) Mechanics could use refinement. Though you evidently put some though into its base, it seems you retrofitted the rules of one of your other games to apply to quest format. You have said that you're working on a fix for the next thread, so I suppose you can just take this as a reminder rather than a correction.

III. While I would be thrilled and privileged to have you autograph my body in person, it's not your person or even your brilliant, superior intellect that interests me here in tgchan. It's the quest. A lot of your posts that aren't about the quest tend to be a bit, shall we say, self-indulgent.

Alright so, after doing some self examination on my string of heinous shenanigans, I've decided I can't meaningfully adjust to this community ( that and my other writing community gave me an ultimatum for all the bad publicity I've given them.) So I'm packing up my quests and shipping them over to 4chan/tg/ or Author Wars where either ppl don't care or some editor more even-keeled than I am will manage the story-, format-, copyediting and distribution aspect of the creative process respectively. I know I've backed out of some things I said I'd do before, but its getting ridiculous; If I can't get with the program I'd better just hit the road, Jack. All I have left to do is ask all past participant questers to grant me intellectual property rights to Tory's character elsewhere since you were the ones that actually made her. I'm not going to wait until everybody that ever suggested posts, just enough to give me some peace of mind. If there's no other matter or loose ends to tie off I'll be off.

Jeeze, you're bailing because of the stupid fight you had in meep?

Just drop those fights, and stop worrying about them. The people who enjoy reading your quest enjoy it, and don't give two shits about 'em. Drama blows over if you let it.

And copy editing / format problems tend to go away with practice.

If you do go, I'll be disappointed to see this die. But yes, ultimately it's your choice, and yes, you can still do whatever you want with your characters.

This is not about an argument in meep, this is about my impulse to shit post in other people's threads. I'm not being dramatic, I'm being practical. In the Middle East there is a saying:

Whatever happens just once will never happen again, but anything that happens twice will assuredly happen a third time.

So as much as I'd like to believe I can just pull up my pants and self-discipline the stupid out of me, I really don't trust myself enough with other people's quests. Again, you tell your self it's just as simple as just deciding not doing it, but it isn't. You get soft and cocky and lo an behold a week passes and you've done it again. Fact is I'm addicted to being a dumbass, and I either keep pissing people off here or I go somewhere people tolerate my shit. This doesn't mean you guys can't still participate, but I just want to rid myself of the temptation to belabor someone else's pride and joy with my inanity. This is especially true in Arhra's Dungeoneer. I mean their quest has already endured a lot of really crazy stuff, the last thing they need is for me to add my dung to the top of the pile.

It may not feel like it sometimes, but we're in control of how we react to things. Especially so in a medium like this, where you're perfectly capable of reading over, revising, or even completely scrapping what you wrote before ever hitting reply. Self control can really be as simple as how long you choose to think on something.

If you don't trust yourself in other people's quest threads, then, well, don't post in them until you do. Although, really, your worst examples of "being a dumbass" have been in meep or dis, anyways. (And you're hardly the nuttiest in dungeoneer). Worst I think you've done in a quest thread was multipost something that would have been better off in dis, but you're hardly the first person to get carried away like that.

I think you're overrating, but whatever. Can't hold you here. Do as you will.

Addiction to acting like a moron on the internet?
If you could get along with using a substitute location for this there are options. Slashdot has a mostly-useful way of tolerating such foolishness.
http://slashdot.org/

The internet is large, there are many places that idiocy is expected. I'd suggest using them for their specialties, and use tgchan.org for questing.

Oh dont indulge the drama queen, he'll be back. Don't buy his hurfdurfdurf nonsense, either. His problem is he's infatuated with everyone he meets and wants to swan dive into their pants. When he catches himself and feels guilty he goes chicken little and pretends the sky is falling, then it's rinse, lather and repeat.

(Sounds like you two have some issues to work out. Do it somewhere else, friend.)

New management?

It means I'm taking over this quest for an unspecified period of time.

In what capacity? Co-author, editor / buffer, replacement...?

Writing replacement. Notes and art were handed off to me. Previous author will act as a consultant for stuff I don't understand, but from now 'till who knows when it'll be my rodeo.
