but yoink, you don't understand

someone has got to blow that whistle

* Sergarr blows a whistle

I hope the people who leaked that stuff are caught.
I really do not understand what would drive them to do that, unless they were personally involved, suspecting their own partner of cheating or something. And even then, leaking it all was a very scummy thing to do.

I'm guessing you haven't seen many discussion about cheating? People get...I don't even know what to call it. Hateful? Bloodthirsty? Whatever you call it, there's an unimaginable quantity of vitriol, of sheer and utter hatred. At least on the internet. People will deny principles they otherwise find sacred just to find a way to cause some sort of harm and get some sort of revenge.

I just don't understand why people hold relationships up as some all-important part of life, and then turn around and attack anyone who tries to have a discrete affair whilst keeping their relationship intact. And then every opinion I see/hear seems to take the side of the hackers.

I think one shouldn't do that, but I wouldn't mind much if one of my friends did this - I certainly would not squeal.
As soon as it's more than physical though... you're in deep shit.

Why wouldn't you take the side of the hackers? You know they're doing good when edgy fedoras are taking the side of feminists. Reason why people who betray trust get so much flak is because it is a betrayal of trust, unless you're in an open relationship it is what it is. It doesn't get any better or worse depending on how well you try to hide inequity, what matters is how and what you've involved yourself in.

Marriage/Significant Other is a hyped up social tradition in the modern world where there are expectations that are implied, wherein people act according to those expectations and expect the other to also abide by them.

That feeling of betrayal from the one person you decided to share your life with.
Them feels bro.

It's because the people who have an affair are forsworn, as it were. They swore vows to one another, then broke them. It's also a religious thing - what God put together, let no lusty man tear apart.

Probably this.


Exams start again tomorrow. Today was study leave. Still doesn't feel like exams are starting.

Has anyone here heard of fleshmancy, outside of the forum game about it?

Presumably fleshmancy would be divining the future from flesh instead of from the dead. Not entirely sure how that would work.

[TheBiggerFish]

The body as a magical aspect is a thing that's been done before, but not in exactly those words as far as I've had the opportunity to read.

[NJW2000]

Yeah, it seems to be a variant on that, Like China Mieville's ReMaking, not an actual word coined by an author or game or anything. Thanks.

[TheBiggerFish]

My friend's RP game had me as a mage of flesh. That was interesting.

I saved a guy's life by turning his arm skeletal (the spells kept the bare minimum of stuff to keep things functioning, so he could still move it etc.), and outran a giant monster by stripping my upper body of flesh and pumping it all into my legs.

That sounds cool.

[Frumple]

Dreadmor has fleshsmithing, if you're just looking for word matchup. Depending on what the hell it means in this particular case, various sorts of biothaumaturgy isn't even remotely a rare concept in fantasy (and sci-fi, as per stuff like Dune). Google says the word itself is definitely in use in other places, for what that's worth.

[NJW2000]

Google seemed to suggest that it was something people said, not in a book, though.

Oh, and obviously it's not a very original concept.

Thanks guys!
