Yeah, if you just copied the direct link to a tweet it would pop up in the board. It was one way to still share pictures after they took that feature out. Can only assume they have also taken tweets out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a female-aspected goddess that is specifically about women knowing their place and staying in it. She's the Ann Coulter of goddesses.

Despite Kellhus' weakening of patriarchy by letting women inherit and giving slaves more rights, the Consult has a pro-science, pro-illegal immigration, pro-LGBT agenda. Technically, all the Ordealsmen are illegal immigrants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You keep saying that answer isn't true. LTTP: No, I'm saying your interpretation of the text of the answer isn't necessarily correct. Your own interpretations are transparent to you, like a lens - you see through them and see 'what answer he gave'. But lenses dictate focuses; so instead of me arguing your lenses, your own particular focusings, I appear to be disputing 'the answer he gave'. An answer from the guy who said Cnaiurs arc was over, which was clearly an ambiguous answer in retrospect, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callan S. Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 TPB seems slightly active again - I'm trying to find the quote someone gave about the setting being like poker in the dark with rules you're not told, infinite stakes and a dealer who scowls all the time, to pass on the goodness - have looked through some pages and can't find it, anyone else know what page it's on?

odium Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 am•big•u•ous /æmˈbɪgyuəs/ adj. open to or having several possible meanings or interpretations:He gave an ambiguous answer to that question. I would say "Cnauir's arc is over" is not an ambiguous statement. I always wonder why authors would bother to lie when they can just not respond.

Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I agree with @Callan S.. Bakker is wily and intentionally ambiguous. He steers you where you want to go. Example, Kellhus is dead. Now, we know that while dead he is not done. But, you could've known that from, "Kellhus is dead." Just like that which comes after determines which comes before. While true, its not in all instances. Seswatha came before the Mandate. Nonman before Men. 1st apocalypse before the 2nd. Both are true, and that is Callan S's point. You all need to take whatever Bakker says with a grain of salt, period. He doesn't seem, to me, to be one to show you his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Well, to me, it looks like the author answered a question you had, abnd you didn't like the answer so are now doing mental gymnastics to try and change it to something else.

No, it isn't. He does this in many instances. He leaves room for him to go the opposite direction. Another example. In the AMA, he was asked if Ajokli is who Kellhus sees in his visions. He never said yes. I'm paraphrasing here, but something along the lines of, "That would be a good proposition.". Now, that we know Kellhus's isnt done, I think we will see him in the Outside. Where might you ask? My guess, under a tree, framed by a night sky that doesn't move with a mountain behind it like a lady's back. Bakker said at the Con that it wasn't Ajokli's power that caused Kellhus to use magic without the Mark. It was because his knowledge and sorcery had become so great it was indistinguishable from the World(that in itself has tons of implications). I'm betting Kellhus carved out his own little hiding place in the Outside, one very similar to those in his dreams. Another takeaway from the Con, Kellhus didn't come into any sort of contact or manipulation with Ajokli until after the Circumfix. So, the haloes have absolutely nothing to do with Ajokli.

The issue is for myself I can say 'maybe' to this, but you don't appear to think it could apply to you. Are you considering it could be you (or even both of us) doing mental gymnastics? Conversations where B keeps treating A as capable of mental gymnastics but B doesn't treat themselves as capable of doing that are pretty damn lopsided affairs...really just a form of gas lighting.

redeagl Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 So, The next series will at least be 3 books BUT one of them will focus on just Koringhus's son. That's apparently the first one we are getting too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 So I'm curious, @Michael Seswatha Jordan - how do you square Bakker's love of ambiguity with his well-publicized note that TUC was going to be where the 'g-string' comes off in the strip club? What part of removing the g-string implies ambiguity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
