Rose: "We are linked because I have her face."
Christos: "And she has King Arthur's face. As it turns out, Fate/Stay Night was actually factual."
This is literally your fault

Based on a True Story?
Why is this franchise categorized as [Fictionalized Historical Events]? -BobTheRogueBob
->
Based on a true story. -Thig4Life
--> Long story short, back in the old days you would sometimes settle disputes over wizard things using summoned heroes. Back then they figured the stronger willworker should be given concessions, so they had this contest to show which willworker was the top dog, back when House Bonisagus was important. You summoned up legendary beings and had them fight, kind of like Pokemon but with mythical creatures and heroes. -Thig4Life
---> So yes, it happened, but then the Order of Reason happened to it and well. It fell out of popularity for
certamen-partly because some houses felt that it was a purer test of skill than this sort of fight, partly because after the Order of Reason happened, people didn't have the quintessence and time to waste on summoning powerful legends for things like this when you could summon them to die in the Ascension War instead. Think of it as more of a broad strokes thing. -Thig4Life.
----> If you want to know how some random guy in Japan with no actual ties to the Traditions or Technocracy as far as we can tell knows about it? Legends don't die, they just change form. -Thig4Life.
-----> And if you want to know why the Syndicate hasn't shut it down or something, I'm not even sure anyone on their end has bothered looking through their historical records to figure out that this is actually a mystic ritual, not a person with an overactive imagination. And I'm pretty sure even if they did, they'd just keep it running as an endless money fountain. -Thig4Life
So Does It Work?
If you summon seven legendary heroes and have them duel to the death until only one remains, do you get your wish granted? -BrythoniaReturns
-> Yes, if your wish is to be murdered by plasma cannons. -FightDamian.
--> Explain. -BrythoniaReturns
---> You're summoning seven extremely powerful spirits onto Earth through the Gauntlet in a way which is nearly impossible to hide. There are cheaper ways to commit suicide. -FightDamian
Was King Arthur A Girl?
So was King Arthur a girl or not? -AubreyMaturin
-> The past is just as mutable as the future or the present, so does it matter? -GrendelDidNothingWrong
Is Gilgamesh Actually That Much of a Dick?
Look. My Avatar is actually Gilgamesh and he's really, really offended at his portrayal here. So I'd like to know if, well... he was that much of a dick. -GayBakeryAu
-> I'm sorry but Gilgamesh is actually a mass rapist. So yeah. A dick. -WickedWitchofTheWeb
--> You can't judge him based on modern standards. -mraaa
---> So what, you're going to defend the Technocracy's genocides because they were done back when it was okay to kill millions of people too? -WickedWitchofTheWeb
--->Also, he was kind of actually recorded as a huge dick? Hello? That's why Enkidu had to show up? -LondonLass
---> Aaaand we're just going to cut this off here before it becomes "WickedWitchofTheWeb and mraaa get the figurative knives out for feminism discussion #950." -Protoko (Moderator)
Is This Game Run By Nephandi?
I have been trying to sacrifice gemstones to influence my luck on the random summoning rolls but it clearly isn't working. All I get are keys and random shit cards. Please explain. -RitsukaTohsaka
-> This sounds awfully like
hubris. -MyOtherCarIsAnIndianUFO
--> Look it's actually simple. The game is secretly run by dragons. They're doing so they can: 1) Gain quintessence from all your worthless sacrifices of time and; 2) Destroy their natural enemy by degrading the legends of powerful dragonslayers. -ArtificialArchetype
---> Okay this explains why all the dragonslayers are actually pretty bad. -MyOtherCarIsAnIndianUFO
Georgios Patch?
So does anyone keep up with the new patch? Apparently they gave Georgios a whole host of buffs, including a rarity buff, and changed his artwork? Why? I thought they kept him trash tier on purpose. -GrendelDidNothingWrong
-> And they also gave him a mullet. Like, why the fuck does he have a
mullet? -RitsukaTohsaka
--> Please see John_Kessler(Iteration_X)/Discussion. -ChristosBarberis
---> Okay what the literal fuck is going on here. -Wingz (moderator)
------> oh wow i guess i was right about John_Kessler(Iteration_X) being
the dragonslayer. -imnotdrunkimexpandingmyconsciousness
