As what Kevak once told me.

Eldritch monsters that can pass themselves as human are the most dangerous ones.

[piratejoe]

Yep... anyway  if akrass actually did somehow get into gensokyo they could do some really bad damage, though they would never win and would probably just piss off the survivors to the point of going through the portal gate thing to get revenge.

On a (slightly) more serious note, due to the many world's theory akrass exists in a alternate earth and has a gate to gensokyo, if only we could watch the fireworks...

[vkiNm]

I'd rather not, it'd be awfully boring.

[piratejoe]

How so? Knowing the powerful characters i doubt they would just snap there fingers and make everything akrass just die. They would probably mess around a bit and do it the hard way...or well easy way depending on how you look at it.

[~Neri]

In the end, the result is that it's ultimately futile to engage. It's boring to do something when you know the outcome for certainty.

[vkiNm]

Because what's the point in fighting a literally impossible odd at all?

As I said, if reality was bursting at the seems and Eldritch gods of all times starts pouring in fighting one another and wiping the human race as well as nearby celestial bodies just for lols, we'd still have a Chance. No matter how small, even a 0.00001% is still infinitely higher than exactly 0%. Anything above 0% is worth fighting for, 0% itself is not.

The best thing we can do at 0% is to die first and not let them have the satisfaction of killing us and winning by themselves. And where's the fun in that?

I for one refuses to fight an unwinnable fight just for the sake of entertaining the thing that's going to kill me anyway. Just gun to the temple and pull the trigger, deny them their entertainment. I can't win, but I can spit in their face.

[Romans]

You're probably right, they would still probably think killing ourselves would be funny. But I prefer not to be some puppet they could twist and form to their will. But yes fight even if there is only one tiny percent I agree, that's the only thing I could do personally.

[piratejoe]

Eh to be fair this was mostly a weird idea i had but then became this. Also to be completely honest, the situation you described VkiNm is just as bad as if you had to fight gensokyo, and to be even more honest in games that have things happen by a roll of the dice anything can happen, that and the only thing impossible is actual impossibility, everything is possible, just improbable. Now how about we stop screwing around arguing over how much of a curb stomp battle gensokyo vs akrass or eldritch horrors vs akrass would be and just lay this to rest?

[~Neri]

The difference is eldritch horrors can be warded. Therefore providing a chance. Gensokyo cannot. There are creatures in Gensokyo whos powers are literally multiverse destroying levels of destructive. And they can't be warded.

[vkiNm]

There is nothing that can be done against Gensokyo, while Eldritch horror gods can be warded and with enough sacrifices of souls, can provide Akras a chance. They've many Clones, Monkeys and Intern, it is possible if they act fast enough to NOT be wiped out and escaping through the gate is a possibility still. It may take a long time, generations upon generations after Terra is completely wrecked, but maybe after some times after they've recovered Gateside enough, they could launch an incursion into occupied Earth to try and take it back, fighting a long, bloody war of attrition.


This is not possible with Gensokyo, Gensokyo can't be warded, there is no defense against Gensokyo, thus there is no hope.

And despite it being a dice game where anything is possible, not even if Akras sacrifice all of Earth to power Tal's Ascension into Godhood where his power become the total Equivalent of God with the Capital G, Not even then will Akras have a chance against Gensokyo with powers that can literally end gods with a thought.

There's just nothing that can be done, and you trying is just going to make this a fun game for them.

[piratejoe]

Not exactly but i'll shut it because as i said i just want to get back to the game.

[vkiNm]

The game is progressing, though. Our Discussion about Gensokyo in OOC have no impact on the game.

[piratejoe]

Alright, just to prove im not doing the whole want to stop as a cop out...

The main difference between the eldritch horrors and gensokyo is not that one is able to be beaten back with sacrifices but that one can actually be negotiated with, the majority of Yukari's job is maintaining the boundary and gensokyo and unless akrass did something really bad they would mostly just observe, Yuyuko would probably just be relaxing in the nether eating food and Flandre would probably be in the SDM and staying there, the people likely to go to you would be the characters that resolve incidences, like Reimu or Marisa, who while very skilled aren't able to snap there fingers to kill you. Also Flandre's power is highly debated on what she can and cant destroy, whether she is sane or insane and so on. the main issue would be if Akrass did something very very bad that would get the attention of Yukari who would basically be as powerful as an eldritch horror when she actually bothers. What would probably happen is eather the expo team would vanish without a trace, be told to bugger off or they would just get killed. Unless akrass nuked gensokyo or sent in a army/FOB the powerful characters wouldn't really mind or care.

[~Neri]

..Flandre's sanity is not in question. The creator of Touhou has full on stated that she's insane. Multiple minds in one head. Same goes for the power. Her power is "To Break." It has been stated by the creator to affect anything and everything.

Why are you continuing this argument? Gm has stated they aren't touching Gensokyo.

[Insanegame27]

On that note, I've been reading 'Feed' by MT anderson and my immediate thought was that 'Is this place run by Akras?'

How does this kick off a page-long argument about something entirely unrelated and remain unanswered?
