Re: Vampires: It was mentioned (I believe it was in Termite's Flux post pertaining to that battle) that there was an unusually high concentration of Cursed arising from the dead of the Grot battle due to chaos mumbo jumbo.

Additionally, just because you have a 1 in 100 chance of becoming a Cursed under normal circumstances, that does not mean that if 100 die then exactly 1 comes to life. In fact, the probability of getting exactly 1 Cursed from 100 dead is about one third (0.37). There is a nearly equal probability for there to be no Cursed. The remaining third of the time you would get 2 or more Cursed from 100 dead.

Also, the Grot battle is not the only place Angels have died. There are the 50 Fallen Angels which were in the horde attacking the village.

There have probably been other circumstances too where Angels have been killed, but probably only individuals so a Vampire arising from that would be unlikely, but since we are the authors of this world we exist above such constructs as chance.

Just curious. Is there an equivalent for 'feed' when it comes to drinks?
I.e 'Kho fed Lauder a rock.' What would it be if 'Kho ? Lauder acid.'?

Edit:
Asked a Professor Emeritus of English Linguistics and the Philosophy of Language (Google) about it. Apparently there isn't an equivalent.

I thought maybe 'Kho drunk Lauder acid' or 'drank Lauder acid' might make sense. But perhaps one would then be caused to believe that 'Lauder' is an acid brand or something, and that Kho in fact drank acid.

I don't think there's a concrete word for that. I'd say just stick to feed.

I think the closest would be something like, "Cyclone served Kho a cocktail of gasoline and bleach."

Nah, doesn't quite have the same connotations. If Cyclone happens to have been whipped really badly by Kho, and so hospitalised, he'd have to be 'drip-fed' not 'drip-served' despite the drip quite clearly being liquid. So I reckon Scarifar is on the right lines.

Still seems odd if I go and write "And they fed me a drink unlike any drunk by earth-bound or celestial beings before, a drink whose ingredients were letters. The 'B' of 'bitter' and the 'H' of 'hatred' and the 'P' of 'poison' and the 'D' of 'Reathos Death'."

Edit: yeah, that would be a very odd thing to write whether it has 'they fed me a drink' in it or not.

Better question is why you're not questioning the rock. :3

I keep trying to start a post. Things keep on damn-well coming up! First my supervisor needs be to do some survey data coding for him over the weekend, then people start replying to my messages I sent about house inspections, then I have to prepare for an upcoming GURPS game, and then I find out I'm the one cooking dinner tonight! I wonder what's next!? Moving out sooner than I thought!?!

It's annoying, too, because I recently actually worked out what I wanted to do for the next Minus post.

Hmm.... I recall seeing a post about someone declaring war on the Gods (not Logos, btw), but I can't find it. Do you guys know who it was?
