"Let the Lord of Chaos rule."
a fun, exciting, mysterious way to rack your brains.
Published on July 7, 2009 By Fokxnim In Sins of a Solar Empire

So I just had this idea and I want to share it with all of you, and invite you all to be a part of my little game I'm starting. I am someone in the Sins universe, either TEC, Advent, or Vasari, and you ask me any questions whatsoever to find out who I am, when I am, and where I am. Let me explain more.

By who I am I mean you have to be able to tell me what race I am, what age I am (30-40 year old male would be a perfectly acceptable answer if it was the right answer, which it isnt. the point is it doesnt have to be that specific.), and, as I just mentioned, my sex.

By when I am I mean you have to be able to tell me the general status of the war during my time. Before the war, before entrenchment, after the war, when the Advent arrive, all these are as specific as you have to be. I wouldn't get more detailed because I probably wouldn't be able to answer you.

By where I am, I mean something a little more tricky than the first two. You'll have to tell me if I'm on a planet belonging to my own race, if that planet is being sieged, whether I'm being held hostage on an enemy planet, whether I'm on an enemy planet because I betrayed my own side, etc etc etc. Where I am pretty much means my whole background.

For example (and this is NOT the answer): You;d have to tell me that I am Harris Markson, middle-aged, TEC male, who was captured by the Vasari and is being held on one of their great starbases. I am put through daily painful interrogation techniques, and am on the verge of telling the Vasari all of the intricate details of the TEC's new superweapon, which will be able to blow up a planet. (something along the lines of that)

Now, how to figure me out:

You can ask me any kind of question at all. You could even ask me what my name is and my age, although I would not answer you with what you're looking for. I will provide an answer for any question no matter how dumb or irrevelant it is. I could even have a guy who thinks he's being funny ask me how I jack off, and I'll try to provide a clue to my identity in it. But I'll still answer it. It is up to all of you together, the Sins community, to try and reveal my identity. This is not supposed to be easy. My advice, start off asking general questions and make your way deeper as my answers provide insight into my life.

Another disclaimer: I am not really talking about myself. None of this is true. I am not actually living in the Sins universe. I wanted to make that perfectly clear.

Now, ask your questions!

ALSO: all characters that are created in this Mind Game will be used in Sinners (if you haven't seen it, you should check it out on the SOASE forums), and all "mini-stories" (i.e. Judgement and the History of the Spirits so far) will be incorporated into the story as well. So ask a lot of questions!

{....I knew it!}

High One, what are these Ideals that concern you? and what is the name of your language?

Haiti is too headstrong, he is too arrogant. I fear for the fate of the Unity under his hands.

{translation: Haiti is too headstrong, he is too arrogant. I fear for the fate of the Unity under his hands.}

My language is my language, and that is all that need concern you. It is called the High One's language and you will call it the High One's language. Nothing more and nothing less.

Is there not a course of action thou art able to pursue to rectify such improper leadership?  For I know of a few tricks which may be possible...

It is not my place to govern the lives of any species, most particularly my own. I am here only to govern. If Haiti's ways trouble me, it is up to me to decide whether to level his entire civilization, which I would do if he got too out of control, or to, as you say, 'live with it' and try to persuade Haiti to change his attitudes on certain things. Those of which are classified, of course, and I cannot reveal them to you.

I am as old as the mountains, and as young as the years. You will not receive more detail than that. Let my answer fulfill your desire, and depart in peace. So have I said, and so shall it be.

Would it be preferable to thee were Haiti to be... diposed?  Bear in mind this would merely be an opinion, not a command, thus no restrictions or morals apply

...For the time being, no. His motives trouble me, but it is not something to kill over. I still have what is best for the Unity at heart, and for now, so does Haiti. He truthfully is perhaps what the Advent need at this moment.

Very Well, I shall not... remove him.  For the moment.  But know, an his leadership become detrimental to the well-being of the Unity, thou needst only speak, and we shalt be thine instrument.   But I must thank thee, for an not for thy intervention... I am unsure what would have become of Heveta Linphion, aboard a seeker vessel en route to the heathen worlds, less than ten years into the Trader-Vasari war

what is 2+2?

[i was just curious if the advent knew how to do simple math, since the TEC seemingly does not. also, i can't think of anything else to ask]

Is there a question to this? Or are you just spouting off all you know of the temporary Host? Yes, as soon as Heveta dumps her passenger off on a Trader world we will reconnect with Haiti's vessel. At least, Heveta and her crew will need to. Spacetime is no bar to me.

You ask the High One simple calculation? 4.

Time for some education. On Earth, before the fledgling years of the Advent, the inhabitants of that planet had a calculation system they called mathematics. That symbol is what they called a plus sign, and it being in the spot it is in tells us to add the numbers to the right and left of it together. You are Advent, are you not? You should know this. Or are you the first Advent to disbelieve that Earth exists?
