Where did he got the idea time worked like that? o.o

Eh, I don't follow... That seems to happen a lot for me.

Well it seemed like solid logic at the time I guess. Also love the title reference, great game.

You cheat, Dragon(!)

Sometimes doing rather than thinking
isn't the best way. The lessons we learn.
The noble forests of ancientest Africa
were left for the Pharaoh and Rome to burn.
The belief in legend, tales that are told,
Time doesn't turn, effect or reflect
it merely marches; the Earth's way more old
than a god states and nowhere near perfect.
He's learned the first lesson of the Dragon;
that she doesn't have all the answers.
Now his fate rests with these, his scion;
Those who followed and led. Magic dancers.

Yeah, I'm having trouble seeing how that wouldn't break the no weird time junk rule. I'm guessing Dragon did cheat, forcing her to have to find a new avatar to replace Satau, who would have been forfeit.

I guess that showing him the future isn't against the rules. Tarot saw the future all the time. but that early maybe Dragon couldn't do that, so the next best thing was sending him forward only enough to see something then come right back, and wouldn't break the rule because Satau wouldn't have been altering any timelines.

I was told everything was in a circle like way, like how history repeats itself, turns out it doesn't work for time.

"Why, dragon, I'm appaled! You? Bending the rules?"
"I'm sorry I didn't realize we were playing Patty cakes!"

I do have to wonder, what would he have said if he had succeeded? "It's a forest! With trees! and an omniously-looking opulent structure towering over them!"
"wait, what?"

Pete builds temple
Dragon curses the temple
Dragon knows the temple will get moved. She doesn't know when.
Dragon can send Satau to "whenever the temple is moved"
Dragon can bring Satau back if he doesn't go too far into the future
Satau thinks that time repeats (is cyclical) so he thinks if he goes far enough into the future, he'll end up in the past. He reasons that he won't be "too far" from dragon if he is in her past
Satau agrees and is sent 7000 years into the future, way beyond the "too far" point for dragon to bring him back
Satau gets stuck
Satau can't believe time isn't cyclical

Yet another reason not to play with Dragon. She cheats, Arguable her cheating is what caused Pete to cheat also.

well they are siblings, so maybe she was a bad influence on him or they both had something else influence them to be cheaters. or maybe Dragon knew Pete well enough that she knew he'd eventually cheat, so she beat him to the punch.

Well, Dragon really is only a demi-god, she wouldn't know everything about time. It is such a weird thing, anyway.

I'm surprised no one is making a Dr. Who reference here. I would, but as I'm only aware of it, not my place.

ChekeBello · Post by **ChekeBello** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 1:38 am

They both cheat the game, when Pete got caught not Kitsune nor Dragon could change King backcuz the rules; if Dragon was caught on this maybe they could not bring Satau back cuz the same rules.

Now the game ended maybe Satau will get a choice like King, get back to his own time or stay in this; if this is the case I hope he chose to stay.

Hmm, a Jackal in a forest...

That was a common idea in the ancient world. That's where that Mayan Apocalypse idea came from: the calender ends when the world ends/begins.

You know, I've been thinking (Now, Horace) what if it's not a Jackal, since the only allowed parties were dogs and cats?

An African Wild Dog would make more sense, and would be less rule-bending

Well it's like in Avatar the last airbender in the episode where they cross the great chasm(canyon) and they have to take two rival clans across. Both clans were told not to bring food but they both did thinking the others would. It is actually rather logical seeing as if one group would go hungry whilst the other eat and endanger them all. It doesn't work when they both do it though.

I am sorry D-Rock but I can't come up with a doctor who reference for this situation.

Why the heck would Dragon need to cheat when she had Pete pretty much blocked?

RockstarRaccoon wrote:Hmm, a Jackal in a forest...

Much of the area was richly forested before thousands of years of goatherders turned it into a desert.

Golden jackals are closely enough related to dogs and wolves to crossbreed. Same number of chromosomes, and there's DNA evidence of it happening in the wild. There's no evidence of African Wild Dogs crossbreeding with canids.

Douglas Collier · Post by **Douglas Collier** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 8:50 am

Yeah, African wild dogs are less closely related to dogs than jackals are. Also, Satau looks nothing like an African wild dog.

Yes, there is! They breed amongst themselves, don't they? : P

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 2:46 pm

Time travels are against the game rules, but Spirit Dragon did it the same with her second avatar to cheat about the future temple location... Great.

And so, dangerously, she did what Satau said bring you at our days? Great, again.

Time paradoxes are so funny.

Many things are cyclical during life, but time no, it's not.

Exists the fortune wheel, anyway, try with it now. Good luck with how is going to end for you, Satau.

You mean literally destroyed the world or that society went insane and the grim darkness of the far future holds a horrible realm of madness that makes the Idiocracy movie look like Golden Age Greece?

Dragon needs to quit her cheating. Poor Satau is stuck and someone better go save his adorableness.

Well, that got dark quickly. I think he/she (I don't know it's the internet) meant that we would deplete the world of its natural resources and fight battles and wars over what remains. Like Mad Max.

The magical word that Tarot used was "supposedly". Kitsune wasn't very good at enforcing rules now was he. I wonder why Dragon cared where Petes temple would be moved to. I mean why couldn't she have just kept an eye on it. Pete was immobilised and Dragon just sat there getting avatars, who didn't do anything because there was no opponent.

I can tell Satau would love watching Back to the Future. :3

Or playing Chrono Trigger. XD

Any of those three possibilities would be futures I wouldn't want to live in, but if things turn out OK, I'd rather live in the future than now. We're living in the time when it's too late to explore the world but too early to explore the universe.
