Lost some writings

On Christmas day, I (or the drink) decided to drop my beloved handheld into a rain puddle. On it was stored lots and lots of half-formed writings that I posted to one forum or another. If any of you guys (I'm looking at you, old skoolers) happened to archive that stuff, please send me a link to it.

 

I don't mean every posting I ever made, just some essential stuff. Right now, I'm looking for the bit where "To remove the Upstart Talos" list-like thing.

 

Thanks all,

Wait, I found the posting I was looking for...RIGHT HERE ON TIL!

 

(Thanks, Lady N)

 

I seem to remember an ancillary posting that helped support it, which I'd like dug up, but I might be mistaken that it even exists outside of wishful thinking.

I'm glad you found something.  That bit* might be all we have, but we'll keep digging to see if anything else turns up.

 

*To kill Man is to reach Heaven, from where we came before the Doom Drum's iniquity. When we accomplish this, we can escape the mockery and long shame of the Material Prison.

To achieve this goal, we must:

1) Erase the Upstart Talos from the mythic. His presence fortifies the Wheel of the Convention, and binds our souls to this plane.

2) Remove Man not just from the world, but from the Pattern of Possibility, so that the very idea of them can be forgotten and thereby never again repeated.

3) With Talos and the Sons of Talos removed, the Dragon will become ours to unbind. The world of mortals will be over. The Dragon will uncoil his hold on the stagnancy of linear time and move as Free Serpent again, moving through the Aether without measure or burden, spilling time along the innumerable roads we once travelled. And with that we will regain the mantle of the imperishable spirit.

Hoarding: a success story.  

 

I think I uploaded everything that I had/could find. The archived threads have more of your posts, I didn't usually bother re-quoting things from them. You could also try asking Baruch (or wait for him to see this himself) - I seem to remember him having a pretty extensive collection of your stuff.

Couldn't resist noting the little Alduin nugget down in that archive. Almost reluctant to quote it because if we take it at face value it's potentially pretty spoilerful. But "notice all the coulds", I suppose. :P

You mean this one:

"Don't forget that gods can be shaped by the mythopoeic forces of the mantlers-- so Tosh Raka could be an Akaviri avatar of Akatosh with a grudge against his mirror-brother in Cyrodiil.

Just like Akatosh-as-we-usually-know-him could time-scheme against his mirror-brother of the Nords, Alduin, to keep the present kalpa-- perhaps his favorite-- from being eaten.

Notice all the coulds."

Who's the more spoilerful, the spoiler or the spoiler that follows it?

Wait, what?

As I understand it, Alduin is going to eat Alderan.

ALDERAAN.

 

I have a tattoo regarding that planet. It makes me sensitive. My apologies.
