Like to clarify I dated you for like a year and a half may and your way of thinking is something I have never seen outside of you. It’s not that you’re crazy but youre definitely like. A cult leader. And odd

Person: Hi Story
Story: OMG THEYRE TRYING TO DATE ME

I hate this game

I once had to learn how to play it in 5 minutes on the spot then play a game against 30 people

Needless to say I could not for the life of me keep out the barbarians and I died super fast

Darion

He did not seek love. He was a fragment of mine that represented altruism. Everything he did, was for the sake of “escaping with everyone”. He and I simply had our interests aligned. He did everything for the sake of kindness, whereas I -and my other selves- did everything for the sake of competition.

He didn’t fight back because he didn’t want to fight back. He didn’t fight back because I could not see any way for us to fight back. In that world, where humans’ physical strength was far beneath that of the non-humans, the concept of “fighting” brought nothing but a loss of time. Therefore, I had to spend all my resources enhancing my ingenuity. This opened his path, but ultimately it was him who chose which path he would walk on.

The human mind is… “unique”, to say the least. At moments, it can be strong, but at other moments, it is very, very fragile. Now I don’t remember what exactly happened in this period, but eventually he exhausted himself. So another “me” had to take over his place. He eventually recovered, but… for a while, he was off; unlike himself.

The lord of the place wondered how he could have been so naïve to trust the inhuman strangers. He responded truthfully: “How can one trust another if others don’t trust him first?” One may scoff at him for his blind faith, but I myself think it’s a cute charm of his.

When he pledged his life and swore fealty, it was admittedly mainly due to our intervention. We took away his fear, and enforced our rational decision to him. As observers, we did not -or rather cannot- understand the repercussions he would have to withstand. His future became unknown. However, he is now undoubtedly “different” from others, whether he likes it or not.

I actually got scared when she… when he met a version of her that remembers everything. I feared what untold insanity they might have endured throughout the countless iterations. It took a split second for me to be grateful to my past selves for being calm and collected for the grand part of their existence, and began to focus on their story once more. It didn’t take long before their reality began sinking in, and thus I began to pity them. For being unable to do more; for being unable to save them.

I… “All of me” successfully managed to miraculously save one person. She is but a character, and it’s not as if history can’t be altered. But I am just glad. I am genuinely glad I can put at least one person who’s been suffering to rest. “Our fiction is their reality.” …it is at moments like these, when I knowingly immersed myself into this wonderful story. Even though I understand that what was shown to me is but a simulation, I am still relieved to see that at least that one character won’t suffer in it anymore.

The system has been turned off for a while now. Maybe there is no sequel. I have experienced this empty feeling before; I no longer get hurt by it. From my perspective, time is frozen until the gears continue to move. The altruism of today is different from the altruism back then. I have forgotten too many things. Even so, if I could…

Nah. That would be asking for too much, wouldn’t it?

i have both double white and double green spells i may want to cast on turn 3, and there are times where i need blue, black, and red. so i have to start going down a bunch of decision trees to figure out what the optimal land to play is as early as turn 1, and i got somewhat burned in a game recently where i couldn’t cast 2 double white spells in the same turn.

Every time we talk about it somebody inevitably tries to go “it’s a good movie”, and then stops themselves. Because it is not a good movie. It is really not a good movie
