14th Dragon Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'm sorry to have to ask this, but what is Richard's 'gift'? Has it anything to do with Richard's 'thing' (the one which is rising or the other one which is not a thing)? His gift is his abilty to do magic. His thing is the combo of his swords inherent magic with his gift magic thus combining to form the all mightly thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosicus Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 A while back in General there was a thread with a title like "ASOIAF drinking game" and I thought it might be fun to try a SoT Drinking game. It makes sense since if you're reading SoT you're probably drinking quite a bit anyway. It would go something like: Every time Richard's gaze is described as "Raptor-like", take a drink. Every time Zedd says "Bags", take a drink. Every time Richard gives a speech espousing his philosophy, take a drink for each page the speech takes up. Every time Richard kills an unarmed person, take a drink. Every time somebody mentions how many weapons Chase carries, take a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranTheBuilder Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 nice idea MM, but you'll be playing it on your own... or with mystar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14th Dragon Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Few more rules, Every time Richard cuts himself, do a shot. When Adie uses "be" inappropriatly, do a shot. Whenever Kahlan start talking or thinking about getting laid, drink a beer. Everytime someone decides to do something just for the pain of it, shot of tequila.

niamh Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Does it count as a drink if Nathan is the raptor-like gazer? Cuz even if he's a thousand years his elder, he seems to be as reptilian Whenever Kahlan start talking or thinking about getting laid, drink a beer. Unfair. There isn't enough beer in the whole town!

TLL17 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I always figured: Westland - The United States. Pure and unspoiled. Midlands - Western Europe. A bunch of bitchy mediocre powers. D'Hara - Nazi Germany/Eastern Europe. Nasty bunch of racial purists and conquerors. The Old World - Soviet Union. Huge powerful nation devoted to a rediculous ideology. And of course its an American Westlander who comes to show them all the way. His way. Of course, its not as if Goodkind has any sense of there even being something known as history before December 7th, 1941. Maybe that's why he beleives he doesn't write fantasy-just the most pathetic, unintentionally funny satire imaginable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niamh Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Passes out shitfaced. Is he taking any potshot at the middle east, in naked empire? Haven't read it, and I can't possibly believe he's letting this one pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecchi-Oni Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Most americans think that history of the human race started when a bunch of Boston tax evaders desided to saboutage tea shipment from GB . And TG's ideas live and prosper in the current administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought his "thing" was his "cock", which made the passages more entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecchi-Oni Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 His thing is probably latent gayness and all the rage builds up because Kahlan doesn't use a strap-on on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really averse to blowing oneself up though, nor to pointless but righteous mass murder, so he might be in a bit of a jam as to how portray those things as the enemy. I would be interested to know if the islamist suicide bombers' remains taste bitter or sweet actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope killing others is morally sound, killing yourself is not. ETA: They taste like chicken that is not chicken but evil incarnate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sariel Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Richard's homocidal tendencies reminds me of a thread i noticed once on tg.net. A guy nicked Lord Rahl Reason wrote this essay like thing of how, if all were like Richard, the world would be paradise.. In a way I spose he's right since there would be not a single human alive.. A world without humanity would most certainly be both a just and healthy place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14th Dragon Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 How do you explain those wizards of old's suicides then? At least the ones that taste sweet They only taste sweet because they thought they were doing good. They actually just lacked any and all moral clarity. Which is why they thought they needed to balance it out by not eating meat. Seriously, thousands of years of experience but they had no idea how to use thier own rules.

Moshe Goldberg Rubinshteyn Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 They only taste sweet because they thought they were doing good. Uhm, do I understand that correctly? The wizards eat each other? And their taste is determined by their moral clarity or something? There's rampant cannibalism in TG's world? Holy ***, TG is one messed-up person.
