The Aesir are bitches, except not in a good way. As soon as we start locking up people because they *might* eat the sun, and they *might* bite the All-Father's ugly mug off, then we no longer have a society based on values of freedom and justice - but on fear instead.
The Fear-mongering has to stop. It is only a tool with which to put a chain around our necks.

Odin's a goddamned liar.

Listen, I know Fenrir personally. Great guy. Gets a little bit in your personal space sometimes, but we've all got our quirks and that's, like, some giant thing anyway, so not his fault, right?

What really makes me worried is what's going to happen next. Sure they say that he'll be treated well, but don't tell me you haven't heard what they're doing to his dad.

Fuckin' snake venom dripping in his face. I can feel the earth shake all the way in my living room!

Who's the poet-witch that supposedly made that prophecy anyway?

The Aesir haven't so much as given us her name, which tells us one of two things:
1. She doesn't have a prophecy license that would verify that she's telling the truth
2. She doesn't even exist.

I smell a rat, and it's not the one I'm most familiar with. This is all too convenient for the Aesir.

>>32784754

I would like to point out that Tyr swore to Fenrir there would be no treachery. Tyr is an oath-breaker, and, according to the Aesir's own law, deserve to be punished by Niddhog.

But did Odin respect his own law? No, my friends. No. The so-called All-Father made Tyr the god of Justice!

An oath-breaker in charge of Justice! Is this a goverment, or a parody?

>>32784962
Yeah, but then he fixes it! Even the flow chart shows that.

Hell, it's thanks to Loki that Asgard's mighty wall was built for free, in but two days!

>>32784975

Tyr swore on his hand that there would be no treachery.
The oath was broken and Tyr lost his hand.
Fair's fair. Fenris is not evil for taking that which he was owed.

>>32785053
Sure credit where credit is due. But I am fairly sure that the free wall was a bonus to the whole endeavor for Loki there. I'm sure you have heard what they say about his ...tastes

>>32785131

That is a base and vile accusation, and even if it WAS true, Odin got a free horse out of the deal!

>>32785053
Let's not forget that Loki, as Odin's Blood Brother, did also have his share of "favorable ruling" in his legal troubles. Evidence A: when he bet his head in this Dwarven competition.

>>32784877
>>32784846
Woah, woah, let's not get crazy here. Fenrir got a raw deal, but Loki is basically the god of dicking people over. He's an asshole.

>>32785086
I would call it fair. But the Aesir's legal code explicitly says that all oath-breakers are to be punished by Niddhog

>>32785239

It wasn't an absolute oath, it was swearing on something and then losing the something.
It wasn't an oath of honor.

>>32785214
Not more than the Aesir, my friend.

>>32784754
Supposedly, the prophecies of Ragnarok come from Mimir's severed heard.

>>32784846
Further, much of the Ragnarok mythos arose after Christian monks decided to make Loki less "Trickster God of the Aesir" and more "The Norse Satan."

>>32785168

See that right there is the problem. The Aesir pretend to be above such things and all honorable and shit.

The All-Father has been responsible for keeping Midgard safe from jotunns for thousands of years!

Jotunns have proven themselves to be a vicious, merciless race that would like nothing more than to set the World Tree afire, and you want to give them that chance because of a couple of technicalities?

When have the jotunns ever proven themselves to be more than monsters?

If you ask me, they exterminate all the jotunns right this instant! Imprisonment is too good for Fenrir and his ilk!

>>32785277
No, Loki is to the Aesir as the Aesir are to regular folk.

>Odin emprison Fenrir, pissing him off
>The pissed off Fenrir kills Odin

Does this mean Mimir's responsible? Like, if he intentionally arranged for Fenrir to be taken in like that, does he need to stand for trial for this thing like Odin should?

Or was the whole "decapitated and trapped by his murderer" thing an extenuating circumstance.

Truly wondering.

Child labour you say? what about Odins son Thor? I heard from a reasonable source that he went to Midgard and stole two human children from their father, because they ate the bones of his dead ram.

First post will be up on Monday.

Right now there's definitely two writers on board, and there are another four that I'm talking with right now.

And I plan to start threads like this every now and then so that /tg/ can contribute and, by making comments like this or that, essentially say "Hey, we want this to happen," so that we'll make it happen.

Kind of like a roundabout Quest kind of thing, I guess.

>>32798225
What's the general idea for the outline of the story?

I've wanted to run a Norse themed Percy Jackson sort of thing but eh, I've never been sure the group I'm in would go with it.

>>32798368

>>32798381
I've heard that is an unplayable mess

>>32798417
Not more so than a lot of other games /tg/ loves. And as always being a good GM helps a lot with cutting through a bunch of the cruft.

>>32798253

Hardboiled (and not-so-hardboiled) bloggers trying to expose the corruption behind Odin's administration. Through blogging about it.

Analogous to, say, the anti-Putin bloggers, if I'm going to quickly shoot for a comparison.

Most of the storyline is external to the bloggers: they're essentially just a kind of narrator, commenting on the war in Alfheim, allegations of Aesir/Nazi collaboration in WWII.

The ongoing struggle over Fenrir's imprisonment is a big part of it but not the only thing that's going on.

Not sure how much personal life stuff will be in there. You'd definitely get some hints, and maybe a little something dropped here and there, but their focus is on trying to dig up secrets and spread awareness of all this other shit.

And I seriously have no idea what's going to happen. Will Odin's administration fall? Will there be some kind of horrendous magi-nuclear war, mjollnir striking down on London and Valhalla burning in nuclear fire in response?

I imagine that /tg/ is going to send this down some interesting roads. It already has-- one of the writers may be "James Woods Hades" (that's his full name), there's a war in Alfheim, and Asgard already has a tenuous relationship with the UN.*

*That said, while most, if not all, of the stuff in these threads will be used in one way or another, not all of it will be used *immediately.*

If you want to participate long-term, send me an email or something (check the Anon label up here or just post a comment on the site) and we'll work stuff out.

It will also be useful to have people who just make comments here and there on stuff, though, to make the halls look a little more alive (either way it shouldn't be too intensive: I'm hoping for ~8 writers so we can have at least two posts a week but nobody NEEDS to write more than once)

Thanks for the interest

>>32801623

Yes. Accepting contributors both long-term and short-term, and writers for both posts and comments.* Shoot me an email and we'll figure out what's best for you.

*Because the world is the story, comments are just as important as the posts in order to establish the verisimilitude of Odin Lied. Writers making comments to their own posts, though, seems a little masturbatory to me, so right now I'd like to separate the two roles.

>>32804406

Oh, and there will be /tg/ threads, too. This'll be a back and forth kind of thing, /tg/ coming together to make stuff that's interpreted and transformed by Odin Lied, which then feeds this back to /tg/ so the process can start all over again.

Like, well, like a roundabout kind of Quest where most of the writefaggotry was happening off of /tg/ and "let's get your input" time came around less often (essentially once per thread rather than several times per thread).

I've got to find some other term for it, tho, because I don't know if it really qualifies as a Quest, even a roundabout one. /shrug

This is animal cruelty at worst, not "illegal incarceration"

I'm a human and have rights, not a dog
Therefore my mother can't be a bitch

Your daddy never told you why your mom wasn't around, did he?

Hint: There's a reason Fido was so affectionate with you.

You know I could reply to that and point out how it's wrong
But fuck it, I laughed. Good one anon

FENRIR! HE'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL!

Haha!

Did you know that they called him Andre the Giant before he was told that was a racist epithet for Jotunns?

Andre was great, he changed his name in a flash (I guess it was kind of weird still that he named himself after another species, but my buddy says he had a little Jotunn in him anyway and that's how he was so tall, so I dunno).

>Captcha: what ovmends
Yes, Andre made ovmends with the Jotunn people and made sure they knew that he didn't intend any offense
