It's a sarcastic remorse on Chaos' behalf.I sorta get what this means

playing the worlds tiniest violin is a way to express false sympathy as a means of sarcastic mockery. I was joking that the emps was doing so even more now that chaos lost most of its safe spaces.

1. When the Abomination awoke, it was about as strong as the other Chaos Gods. Does Ridcully think the Gork/Mork power is similar to that? (Or is this to be answered with Greater Divination?)
a. If so, does he have like estimates on when their power might start weakening? (Greater Divination?)
2. These options valid for the Free Greater Divination?
a. Eldar..Pantheon?
b. Notable Powers
c. The State of the Galaxy
d. Ultramar, or what's left of it.
e. Tau (Assuming they exist)
f. Gods of any sort (Gork/Mork Differences, Ynnead, Chaos Gods..)
3. Does Ridcully have any aversion to Greater Divination choices, like if he doesn't want to Scry on Gork & Mork again, etc.
4. Has Ridcully's power and control boost changed his Witchsight significantly?
a. What does Ridcully look like in the warp anyway? According to Tamia/Xavier/Ophelia.
b. Did his power boost change his appearance in the warp?

Wondering if Ridcully's 'Major Diplomacy Boost' cancels out his abominable (2) Diplomacy with non-Avernites.

Ok, here's my full plan. Subject to changes due to discussion as usual, but I won't be able to make changes for most of the day until I get home, so bear with me on that. Also, could someone calculate total cost of Thrones, AM, and EM? Just want to be sure we don't go over any limits.

@Durin
1 What do the Sirens think of Ridcully?
2 Do we have any idea who the most skilled mortal diviner to ever live was/is?
3 ...is Ridcully still considered mortal?
Well that goes without saying.
Humm. In the Discworld setting there are beings that are 'more real' than conventional reality. Generally they are things either part of or related to fundamental forces like DEATH or Time. Ridcully might not be entirely human any more.
[X] Plan Enjou T101
Not entirely keen on trying to contact the Eldar before seeing what is up with his soul but I can see arguments either way. Everything else looks ok.

Eh I'm partial for buccaners for the Trust, but hey ho.
Add in offer them riddles and games from across the trust and potentially humanity if the Muspel archives have that in the culture section.
Pretty sure it's Ridcully.
Edit never mind.
Ahriman maybe? Though whether he counts is a bit subjective.
At the moment yes, he's still going to die it'll just take 2000+ years
@Durin
1.
When did Ridcully get a reputation beyond the trust?
I mean Eldrad knows and I'm pretty sure Valinor's figured it out, but other than that he's kept a low profile.
Warp Whispers?

It is my opinion that we should create a Psychic Order of Healers, over Xavier's current actions.
The logic is that a Psychic Order of Healers will reduce fatalities among our Psykers, Elites and Notable Characters. Over time, this means improvements in experience, in addition to having more resources in general, because people are dying less often.
It'll have an impact that'll grow over time, so it's better to found the order sooner than later.
/
w.r.t to Wellspring of Power vs Immaterial Resonance:
Immaterial Resonance gates rituals and runic psykery, useful items. We could already know more about the Runes if we had already researched Immaterial Resonance.
Wellspring of Power gates information about Ridcully.
Their success rates is also different; Immaterial Resonance has a +40% (20% compared to -20%) chance difference compared to Wellspring of Power, which means we are plainly more likely to get results with Immaterial Resonance as compared to Wellspring of Power.

Oh pooy.
Ah well should have still freaked them out
mmmmm.
@thread we really need to learn what the destroyer is.
Bugger.
Ominous.
Now we know we're op.
We did, but it's not that big yet.
I can switch if enough people want to, but IMO figuring out what is going on with Ridcully's soul is a higher immediate priority.
This is again a matter of what our priorities are. We know we need to make more anti-Psyker preparations, and warding our command centers with the Banish Rune (which may take less than the five years stated [or four, since we're expediting] since we'll have the Warding order finished, and @Durin says less time for warding actions is a likely benefit) should help a lot as it'll ensure that the people commanding anti-psyker actions and whatnot aren't going to succumb to daemons or psychic powers aimed at them. And we should do this now, while we have a lull in psyker activity, not in a few years when it'll actually be a problem.

1. they viewed him as just another psyker before but now seem to respect him, and for the first time refer to him as a Seer
2. it was probably Eldrad when he was still mortal
3. yes he is. just.

Ok I have an actually fairly important thing here
I went out of thread and pm'd @Durin for this so here we go and thank you to him for answering.
The major thing of course is that now we can try to reverse engineer the STC itself, if we want to try.

It hasn't done much and it's effect is a passive reinforcing of our body, so not a huge deal.
