I thought it was to stay away from the coyote? Meep meep!
Afterlife thought: can Lavei make their own place where the dead go after they die? I guess like Elysium, but one full of, I dunno, puppies?
Or for the more evil oriented MCs, bees

Oh no, not at all! Definitely not rude! Sorry if I came off that way, either. I tend to type faster than my brain can process my words (I type 185+ wpm), so, like, I don’t fully think through everything that comes out of my mouth (or…fingers, I guess), which has…gotten me in a lot of trouble? LOL I have constant foot-in-mouth syndrome.
But yeah, I’m an INFJ (I actually just retook the test. I guess my years of not socialising in person have taken the extrovert out of me 
), so I tend to subconsciously read into people’s words more than I intend to.
But we cool! You like Dr. Who, after all, and I gotta respect a wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey person~
Hmm…I wonder about the whole making a place to go after they die.
Like your own personal afterlife harem?
edit: oh god, this is verging into the really weird ish, Valerie. hush ur face

I wonder what thinking with your heart instead of your brain is like; as I said I’m an INTJ, which means that everything I ever do is relentlessly intellectually scrutinised. I almost never if not never look at things from an emotional perspective, and it’s one of the main reasons why Sherlock is my CoG namesake; I don’t just admire him, I’m virtually identical to him in terms of personality. Everything has to be logical and if it isn’t, then it isn’t worth discussing or even wasting thought on to me. I’ve been described as a ‘robot’ numerous times before due to my affinity for the aforementioned logic and my propensity to throw myself into my work and openly scorn socialising with people.
Luckily for me though, my mother is an ENFJ and my sister is an ENFP; I’ve often wondered how I could come from such emotional people, but if I had grown up around even one person similar to me I would be much worse in terms of arrogance and disregarding most all forms of emotion. If that were the case I’d probably be truly insufferable to everybody except the people exactly like me. Or the people with superhuman amounts of patience and understanding.
To be fair, these are thoughts and decisions Lavei must face once they have unlimited power
I need beta testers for this next chapter; I am contemplating (several) new features for the Trials, and I know it will be bugs galore. Since I am more interested in non-technical feedback, I think it’d be productive to have beta testers clear out all the major errors, and the WiP’ers (unsure of the correct terminology) give me the more content-based feedback.
I’d need one tester for each strategy, so four beat testers in all. You’d need to play through the entire game once more, with a set character protoype (morally ambiguous, morally dark, morally light, etc.), and a set strategy for the first Trial.
I’m not sure when this monster of a chapter will be finished, but I’d like to have options for the near future.

Depending on when it’s done, I’d be happy to help. I actually prefer doing technical-based betaing, rather than content, because content-based betaing fills up my inbox like crazy.
(I swear I have over 300 unread messages in one of them, but there hasn’t been an update in over a month)
(I say depending on when it’s done, because I’m private beta-ing like 4 games right now for content/technical stuff, as well as working on my own shit, which involves hitting myself over the head each time i screw up my own god fucking damn fucking code god what the fuck, so, like, I’m gonna be pretty busy for the next few weeks. I should be good by the beginning of July, though?)

Yet another? I was under the assumption we were having a debate, but if I was offending you personally then I had no knowledge of this. And once again, you bring your argument into this despite the fact that it may be in the minority. [/quote]
It is an extremely common one in the nation in which I live. It may or may not still be in the minority, but it’s proponents are an increasingly large part of the population as the years pass. Otherwise there would not be such a big debate over that poor gorilla who was shot and killed to prevent risk of serious harm to that 3 year old boy who climbed a 3 foot barrier, climbed over 4 feet of bushes, and hopped into a moat to get to the gorilla. I believe the decision to kill that gorilla to immediately eliminate risk to the boy was a reasonable one, but there are a lot of people who strenuously disagree.
What the world believes varies from culture to culture and from age to age. One generation’s demonized sin is another generation’s civil right. I sense the tide turning on the issue of pets in my country as time passes, just as the tide has turned on so many other issues.
Excellent. A point of agreement.
Pain does harden people. I’m not arguing it doesn’t. Nevertheless it doesn’t just harden people. It also causes those who suffer to learn how to cope with pain without being paralyzed by it. Not everyone reacts in the same way, and not all coping mechanisms are equally effective. But after a point, it isn’t really necessary for many people to harden any further because what they feel has become manageable. So it isn’t necessary to go totally numb. At least that’s been my experience.
Nah, it’s fine.

I have no idea how this would work, and I’m sure there will be plenty of more experienced people who will volonteer, but If you need anyone, I am in.
I am always willing to sacrifice myself for science!
You mean like typos and everything? I would love to do that. Never been a beta tester before but willing to be one for this WIP, if you’ll let me.
Oh my god, why would you do that!? that scene made me cry so hard. Making a cruel comparison like that.
I know a few INTJs and wholeheartedly respect them because I find their rational outlook on the world enlightening. I love learning lots of random things and those kinds of people are great to be around for that reason. The only thing that is a bit bothersome is from a dominant feeling perspective, it’s just so hard to look at the world in such absolutes(if that’s the right term).
At times they can come off as a bit cold to me. Making decisions (for me) is incredibly hard because I have this insane moral compass that makes me feel like I HAVE to do what feels right to me. I can’t take my personal feelings out of the equation. Which is probably a pretty dangerous way to be, but that’s why the world is so lucky to have rational thinkers like yourself to balance us out and keep us in check so we don’t do anything too crazy. 
It also explains why I can’t ever play an evil MC in any game. I always end up doing the right thing, dangit.

Honestly, I have absolutely no emotional connection to that scene. I felt there were far more emotionally hard-hitting scenes in the show, and this one just doesn’t do it for me.
When I first read it, it shocked me, but that was about it. It shocked me. Didn’t really make me sad. Characters that I had a true, lasting connection to dying, though…
yeah…
I can’t play an evil MC either.
I always play doormats.
Do every sidequest, collect all the items, save all the princesses, get my thank you…and then everyone walks all over my MC for all eternity LOL
it will most likely be the same in CotG

Did this for Skyrim. At one point I had to choose between keeping a moral character and sacrificing an innocent NPC to an evil god so I can get a cool item.
The item won…

I would have saved the NPC. Even in the Dark Brotherhood questline, I had to make up stories for the characters so that I didn’t feel like I was murdering an innocent. They needed to be bad people.
@Rohie promise me i don’t have to murder innocents in this game to make it to the end pls

…I did it so I can get the achievement and, therefore, the Platinum trophy.
I am an ENFP and I really wanted that trophy.
… 
And you said it yourself: is anyone innocent? Dig around enough and you’re bound to find something. Questions is “Would that be justification enough?”

So first off I want to say that as a longtime lurker, I love this WIP. It is always interesting to see different people’s takes on how mythology is actually a part of reality, how they portray different mythological characters and how they make the pre-existing ideas their own.
Secondly @Sherlock221B want to say that I am an INTJ-A as well and as such a rare type it is really cool to see another one around.
