Ok, I only did a quick sweep through it, but I'm in the process of reading an 100+ page beast so I'll probably do it later on. At your leisure. I don't have much time to read the big ones, but when I do, I usually read them in reverse. I prefer to start at the beggining to get context but I get your method, when you read a newspaper, do you start from the end as well?

Well I'm not more interested in sports than front page news, so no. But while we're talking, do you believe tptb are responsible for human sacrifices by staging deaths?

Well I'm not more interested in sports than front page news, so no. But while we're talking, do you believe tptb are responsible for human sacrifices by staging deaths? Well I'm usually a very rational type, I don't have any hard info to back that, but I also won't say it doesn't happen. For me to believe something is possible is really easy, but to believe something is undeniably real I need a very strong motive. Why would they? What do they have to gain? If it's about hunting humans for sport I guess it's not that farfetched, secretly owning slaves for satisfying sexual perversions, and discarding them when their usefulness is outlived, or kidnapping people as human guinea-pigs for illegal experiments. These are all things that have been alluded to in media and entertainment, so I'm a bit on the fence. Who knows what people with enough wealth, power, connections, and wickedness are willing to do?

Sometimes it gives you another perspective.

Sometimes it gives you another perspective. I feel like it also keeps you from potentially wasting a lot of time when it's a monster.

Your points are all very good ones, and your motivations not bad either. What if you just could? If you could take people's lives, would you?

You are asking a very deep question, one I asked myself often. Would I kill, let's say, people whom I think deserve punishment? That develops into two paths, one is death really the highest punishment, two is death the real answer. To sum it, I don't know, it's one of those things I don't have a clear answer for without having been in a position where it becomes a choice. Therefore I believe it would be arrogant of me to give you an absolutely certain answer.

So not necessarily just for cases of punishment.

So not necessarily just for cases of punishment. I was talking about these, the former was what I meant as the object of punishment, the latter was why I don't know if I would ever do it. As for profit, well I'm not a hitman nor a business man.

Well is it safe to assume that if someone charged you with a knife you would drop them dead if you could?

Well is it safe to assume that if someone charged you with a knife you would drop them dead if you could? Well if I could see it coming it's obvious to assume I would fight back, wether I'd go for a kill or just an attempt at incapacitating my attacker it would depend on my psychological reaction. Besides, I'm not physically imposing so I would probably sustain heavy injury at the very least.

Your other option being a physical confrontation you'd probably fare poorly in.

If I was certain of the spell's effectiveness sure, otherwise I'd rather risk physical confrontation despite the low odds of success.

If I was certain of the spell's effectiveness sure, otherwise I'd rather risk physical confrontation despite the low odds of success. That makes good sense. It's about how I look at it.
