What does this thread have to do with anything? Seriously, if you read my post in conjonction with the post right above it, it might make more sense.
And why should I stay true to my word? This is the freakin' web, you shouldn't believe what is posted in here!

I thought you said the last time you posted you wouldn't post anything again?And what does this have to do with this thread? I think hynreck is carrying on schlendrian's point about FF fans being unable to resist investigating anything, whether it's a forbidden thread or a dirty underpants hamper. EDIT: Beat me to it. There's a pile of dirty undies on the floor. To sift through it, turn to 346. To ignore and go on with your life, turn to don't you dare. 346 Getting dirty, you sift through the pile looking for clues, when you finally stumble and unfold a great white giant underwear of what you supposed must have been a very obese man. You find the number 150 etched in the shit stains... which you quickly memorise, as there is no way you are taking this revolting piece of filth with you. No way. There are limits you are not willing to cross. Or is there? If you want to stick the dirty piece of cloth inside your pocket anyway, turn to a death paragraph. If you want to leave it where it is and forget about it, turn to you wish you could, stupid, too late, now you are forever scarred. I'd definitely take them. If I don't I'll inevitably run into their naked owner and I dread to think what will happen if I can't 'turn to 150' and help him. (Yes I am aware this is the second time I've introduced nudity onto this thread. Sorry about that.)

I made a few mistakes in the text that I see now, but oh well.
I tried to think of something stupid and really disgusting that no-one in their right mind would ever pick-up... except that loony FF adventurer who likes to slaughter lots of creatures for fun and sometimes a little bit of gold or the chance to grab a key with some mysterious number carved onto it. He would go for that.
Though you do have a point: what if you met the owner of such a giant not-white-anymore underwear? Sends shivers down the spine.

...that loony FF adventurer who likes to slaughter lots of creatures for fun and sometimes a little bit of gold or the chance to grab a key with some mysterious number carved onto it. He would go for that. One thing I discovered while doing my most recent NaNoWriMo project (adapting Shamutanti Hills to novel form) is that I had to keep finding reasons for my nice protagonist to do these nasty things. I mean, she could have just kept going past the mine. She didn't need to sneak in and start killing people just on the off-chance of finding something shiny or whatever. She still had money... But what the heck - all that part of the gamebook helped add a few thousand words to the story.

Not curiosity but duty. As a moderator on this forum, I have to check that nobody's breaking the rules. Now this thread has started getting busy, I need to read it to be sure that it's not being used for illicit or nefarious purposes. So far, so good. *rolls eyes* *sighs* *goes to make some Turkish tea*

Now that I think about it, running into the naked owner of the dirty underwear should be the death paragraph I was referring to. Perfect.

It's going well, I think, but since I'm exploring my character's character and adding a few new ones here and there - such as conversations in whatever tavern or market the character happens to be in when the paragraph talks about game actions in those locations - it's going to be longer than it would if it were just a prose form of "Hero enters the tavern, sits down at a table next to Mysterious Person, and decides to ask a question".
This is a project that's going to take a long time, as my overall goal is to do the entire Sorcery! series. I fell in love with these books decades ago, and wrote a detailed account of my character's backstory - where she was born, who her parents were, how they met, what their family life was like, what prompted her to take up life as an adventurer, and so on.

I thought this was going to be something to do with Wittgenstein or someone like that.

'It soon becomes clear that you are trapped in a deadly language game in which you are no match for your opponent. Soon your body is horribly contorted by linguistic turns. Desperately you try to call to mind some magical words, but no sound escapes your mouth. "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." Wittgenstein smiles nastily, and with a word unknits your logical form eliminating any possibility of your ever replying.'

Why are FF readers violent? Did House of Hell spark it? Maybe it was the aftershock of Beneath Nightmare Castle in one of those instant death refs? Has Yaztromo cast a vicious spell right from the very pages of Forest of Doom? We have ALL become desensitized.
