Acolyte - Worm/Warhammer 40k

Adding this here, while 'officially' there are no penalties against necro here, there warning about posting on old threads definitely makes it look like SV is still tied to its roots in SB.
A strangled little noise drew her from the reminiscing, Armsmaster's face having gone from frowning to his mouth slightly open as he processed what had just been said. "Continue…"
Was Armsmaster a WH40K player in his youth?

I originally posted this on his profile because I was unsure of consequences of putting it here, but there have been two other posters so...
 
You know, while Necromancy isn't banned here, it's kinda rude to just post "Is this dead?" 1½ months after the last post. Is it dead. Maybe. Maybe not. You could have gotten an answer by messaging Nexus instead.
Actually, the idea of not outlawing necromancy is done with the idea that, should necromancy happen, it is usually with the intent to add further to the discussion without having to clutter up the site with new threads.
This falls flat somewhat in the CrW section, however.
Example!:
Is not an example of a good reason to necro a thread. Where as:

This is an acceptable reason. Necroing a thread to further discuss a fic, especially one where the author is well known for long absences, is generally ok (unless the author has asked readers not to).
However, if the thread is more than 6 months old, necroing the thread is more akin to trying to discuss what the next episode of a cancelled TV show is going to be like. Irritating to those that know it is dead for good, but ok if your looking to discuss the idea of picking it up yourself or basing your own fic on the ideas presented there.
I'll add a friendly reminder that while necros aren't against the rules on SV, dogpiling someone for not-necro'ing a thread is.
Indeed, however no one is dog-piling here. We're educating! Completely different! *Nods imperiously*

For the last time, I'm sorry.

Yeah! You better be! :p


Anyway, I wonder how long it'll take for Taylor to realize that letting the... Is gods the correct term? Anyway, I wonder when Taylor will realize that letting them "out" on Earth isn't a great idea. Letting them get a foothold, so to say. I don't know a lot about WH40K, but I know that they are not good gods of the Warp. And since they can get influence across, is there a chance that something or someone else can? Maybe the Emperor himself?
 
They're not inherently evil. It's just the Warp in the 40k-verse has been so... well, warped, that they've been warped in turn. In the Worm-verse that isn't the case so there's the possibility of them remaining relatively neutral.
Evil, you can have an argument about it. But they aren't truly good, well, at least not all of them, seeing as how Taylor had to scream out "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THROWN!" when fighting, not really heroic or good behavior there that Khorn told her to do.
 
For the last time, I'm sorry.
Don't be. I only intended to educate, not punish. Primarily because you are not the only one who may benefit from my post. There are many who lurk and have never posted and may yet be unaware of the rules and etiquette of this site.

"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THROWN!"


Only, you know, with skulls...

Misspellings are fun :p

I'm not sure why you took 'they're not inherently evil' as 'they're obviously good instead', and thne proceeded to point out how that was wrong.
Them not being evil does not change the fact that Khorne is the god of blood and battle, or that Slaanesh is the god(dess) of excess and hedonism, Nurgle the god of stagnation and decay, and Tzeentch the god of madness.
As realy should be the case with Chaos, they have a fairly equal number of Positive and Negative traits, when the Warp isn't fucked beyond oblivion.
 
Khorne is the god of Rage. What's good about him is that the rage of many can ruin tyrants. What's bad about him is that it can also ruin societies.

Slaanesh is the god of Pleasure. What's good about him/her is that, well, pleasure is generally considered desirable. What's bad about him/her is that people's pleasures may not coincide, that most pleasurable actitvities build up tolerance, and that being overly inattentive to boring matters can be problematic.

Nurgle is the god of Despair/Acceptance. What's good about him is that acceptance is basically necessary for true contentment. What's bad about him is that accepting despair you don't have to enables evil and suffering.

Tzeentch is the god of Ambition. What's good about him is that ambition is necessary to make things globally better. What's bad about him is that evil people can be ambitious too, and also that people's ambitions often conflict leading to, well, chaos.
 
When you toss a coin - obviously sometimes you get not so good result. Each Chaos God has his opposite side and wise should be ready to meet and overcome it.
 
Oh because that changed ? as far as i know dont go to school is punished by law if you are under a certain age sooo
*Blinks* *tilts head and squints* I'm not sure, but I think you just said that you don't go to school and are wondering if that is illegal? I'm not sure how that is relevant to the conversation, but I'm pretty sure you need more schooling in order to learn how to type in English.

Edit: Noticed your location tag says France. Did you try using google translate to go from French to English? Because that would make more sense than your sentence. Something got lost there.

Just waking up and I am sick --' This brain of mine does not compute well in either of those cases so it's currently even worst x)
 
Of course, throughout various periods of history 'education' had been done by the sword...

Khorne might approve.

Its a extra big sword, since under-aged children not attending school or getting education counts as abuse (neglect) so the parents/guardians get done in and the child get sent to school anyways.

I've always kind of liked that the god of hope is evil in 40K. Hope can be terribly painful; there's a reason it was in Pandora's box.

I also like that the god of plagues is the nicest character around. He loves all life, but most life is bugs and germs.
