Casual chatting thread

Looking at the Discord, seems like something's not quite as expected when they added the contributors - I would expect a fix is in the works.

imagine if the supporter requirement is kept when it's in the main site

You don't have to imagine it - just look at the feed to this point.

Looking at the discord, it looks like contributors aren't supposed to be able to interact with the title/chapter comments yet, which is what I thought was the case from what I read in the announcement.

The feed should be open for contributors though (on canary), but they're looking into fixing that.

I read that as both supporters and contributors should be able to post on chapter/title pages, but that's just from what I can see.

Predict me bro...

Predict me bro...

lol, if only I could actually do that.

Best I could do atm is 'Your next line is, "well that sucks"'... or something along that line. Even then there's zero guarantee of you falling for it.

Welcome, have a seat! Here we poke fun on the mods on a regular basis, that's why some in here have some... peculiar ones.

the imouto's guide thread also has the story behind its creation buried within it ฅ૮•ﻌ• აฅ
but @Data_Gold didn't include everything when she told that story ฅ૮•ﻌ•აฅ
like how the 'romance' and 'seduction' portion of the guide got its information from guides on how to woo men ฅ૮^ﻌ^აฅ

...although idk what was directly 'male only' about any of that information... ฅ૮•.• აฅ

Are you seriously reacting to your own posts? That's saddening.

I think oracles work for someone like a deity and they just say what they are told and seers scam see things like the future and stuff.

The difference iirc would be that for oracles, the prophecies would come from the deity, and not themselves. While seers would look into the future and tell fortunes that way... hence 'see'-'ers'.

In Elder Scrolls terms, that would be like if The Listener and The Speaker have their duties combined.

Don't Oracles work for Larry Ellison?

This is one of the times I can't help but shout "get a dictionary, you two", but in short there are more than those two terms and in this case they're mutually exclusive. A "Seer" supposately sees the future, just like when you sit in the toilet for long you end up hearing a popping sound. An "Oracle" and a "Prophet/Prophetess" are tied to a deity but their functions are different: in Greek mythology, an Oracle knows the will of the gods and uses that wisdom to advise others, whereas a Prophetess gets revelations from the gods about the fate of their people.

Yes, Oracle IS Larry Ellison.

No, he owns a company called Oracle but I don't know if they call themselves oracles or oraclers
Hey, are they controversial in some way or were you just trying to make a joke?

Thanks, so we all got it right

Except for the part of "works for", it's unpaid labour. I used "prophetess" before to make it analogue to other religions, but it's a Pythia (a priestess) and therefore works in a temple. As for Oracle, the Delphic one, there's only one and it was believed she could talk directly with Apollo. Yes, they already had monopolies back then.

I could be remembering it wrong, but I thought the priests/priestesses uttering said revelations would be the oracles, and it could also refer to the place/temple where the revelation was conveyed orally.

Which is why I compared it to the Dark Brotherhood's Listener and Speaker's duties being combined.

Damn, so true brother.

Ahh, a response of acceptance with a tint of disappointment. Close enough, I'll take it.

Im not, in fact it was impressive an oracle should be able to even predict where I will post next.

Predict it, believe me, you will always be correct.

A Pythia (the highest standing for a priestess, women only) would enter in an ecstasic state where she would utter the words revelated to her while the other priests/priestesses would interpretate them. The Pythia does not remember them afterwards.
