I'm in the middle of writing that post for Dirssi, but it is late, so I will need to finish it tomorrow. Also, Tyrael and Satori are still in the dining hall, right? Or at least nearby. I was thinking of having Ssarak, Meirin and the rest of that group end up in a fight nearby. They may require assistance, if the teachers, or perhaps some others, could lend it.

One: you don't know how old that prologue is...it could be 100-30,000 years from this time. Two: At some point it will happen as it allows magic to regenerate and grow stronger the next time. Right now, Tech vs Magic is more a balance to keep the Gods from being over ran by mortals. Three: Each time this cycle happens, it lasts longer so at some point it could be a permanent thing.

Ah, I see. So, to win we must accomplish this: Convince the gods to stop being cocks. Our chances do not look great.

Just look at the real world for example. Us humans are greedy, if someone kind comes along we will consume and abuse them till they are depleted, it's human nature. We do cruel things to others so our lives can be better.

I remember reading a study once that selfish behavior is evolutionarily unfavorable in the long run, so that is an argument which has merit.Although, the psychopath thing isn't quite spot on. Rather, increased wealth has a tendency to lead to decreased empathy. People tend to compare themselves to their peers, and since the peers of the wealthy are often other wealthy people, their perspective shifts into a small bubble of society that they have a hard time seeing out of.

I'm pretty sure the gods don't want to keep being cocks I am more so sure they are just being gods. Gods are assholes.When you are charged with the entirety of the world and perhaps beyond it is very hard to make everyone happy let alone keep order through just means. Just look at the real world for example. Us humans are greedy, if someone kind comes along we will consume and abuse them till they are depleted, it's human nature. We do cruel things to others so out lives can be better.If humans are like that then try adding a dozen other sentient species to the world. If you are a kind hearted god you will be consumed and abused, you will be drained of your energies because everyone is using you to further themselves. But if you are a mix of kind and cruel your energies life span has increased ten fold

No, I've talked with fallen about it before. They don't give a shit about the world, they're assholes.
