Sticks, consider this, to have a more precise answer: You say that you would choose the option that is the least harmful, but to you is that a quick death or a severe injury, as was in the game with the glass box? We have both of us answered that question differently, but both of us thought we chose the least harmful.

Re: Discuss

I'm not making obscure references. How is "when you don't have to" obscure? Spast, I'd say it's a better answer than some iron-clad "I'll never kill," or "I'll never hurt someone," because you can't make that promise.

The least harm and the least suffering is the same thing. In a place where the Persona are going to bring you back to life, a painless death is better than a severe injury.

Did you not hear? In the Lion's last game, no-one was healed or revived until another Persona intervened and did it herself. That was only a game of knights, a small group— she will not be able to do the same for heroes. Do not rely upon revival.

[uroboric]

...Tch. Arrogant and stupid. She really believes her opinion is always the right answer, and everyone who disagrees is wrong. "Discussing" with her is a waste of time.

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

So we quest for revival beads.

Before you go saying I think I'm the only one with the right answer, you might try suggesting a different answer. All you've done is criticize.

Re: Discuss

[uroboric]

. . .

I already did. What the hell is wrong with you?

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

No, you didn't. You said we should clearly say whether or not we would hurt or kill someone. You didn't say what your answer would be.

So before you go calling me arrogant and saying I won't listen, answer. Would you hurt someone to win? Would you kill someone?

Re: Discuss

[uroboric]

The whole point of it was that I don't know what the hell your answer is. It's got nothing to do with mine. I said "be clear and specific", not "agree with me because I'm right". Weren't you even paying attention?

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

That's still not an answer.

Re: Discuss

[uroboric]

I just said that's got nothing to do with what we were talking about. You're seriously pissing me off, trash.

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

Good. Maybe you'll stop holding back and actually answer the question.

Re: Discuss

[uroboric]

...Fuck you.

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

You wanted me to listen, didn't you? I'm listening. How far would you go to win a game?

Re: Discuss

[uroboric]

Oi, Obsidian, you deal with her, 'cause I sure as hell ain't feeding her smug arrogance. She's bad enough already.

Re: Discuss

[THWUMPS his tail down on the ground, rattling the plates left on the tables]

If we are not going to reach a compromise and full consensus, then we should at the least establish a majority to the questions so that we may answer and continue.

Have any of you have objections to that? State your answers plainly to the questions posed by the scroll or agree with another's, and it is from those that we will take Iolite's answer.

Re: Discuss

[uroboric]

I think it's idealistic. We should probably just go with your answer.

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

You're fairly logical, so I'll agree with the answer you were coming up with earlier, Obsidian.

Re: Discuss

[d0nt_need_r0ads]

Self-defense is definitely okay! But I wouldn't have a problem with violence in game as long as there's a reason for it.

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

So now asking your opinion is arrogant, too. I suppose treating you like anything but a child is pointless after all.

Re: Discuss

[uroboric]

No –– ignoring the whole discussion to stubbornly press for an unrelated answer just to prove who knows the hell what –– that's the idiocy here. And then acting like forcing an answer would be some kinda victory over me... did you really think I'd want to share my thoughts after all that?

Though, even this is freakin' pointless. You parade around like your words are the purest truth and everyone else is just stupid or childish if they disagree. You couldn't admit making a mistake or being wrong even to save your life.

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

The questions to were unrelated? They were the same questions we're supposed to be answering for the game. Everything you've said here is geared to criticize me instead of doing something constructive. Trying to force an answer wasn't about getting a victory over you--it was about trying to draw you into a mature discussion instead of the two of us just sitting here arguing.

Re: Discuss

[uroboric]

Oooh, I see... so you force others to do what you want. That's maturity.

I think you should just shut up before I shut you up.

Re: Discuss

[sticksofthejedi]

You want arrogant? Fine.

It's more mature than what you do, kid. You don't contribute anything. You just sit around tearing everything down so that it's all on your petty little level.

Re: Discuss

[uroboric]

Hmm~? You wanna play on my level?

[slides her hand along the table and scoops up a steak knife :)]

Re: Discuss

[danger sense on]

I'm willing to try treating you like an equal when you're ready to start working with me, instead of just trying to ruin everything. Until then, you're just an immature child.
