So...riddle me this, riddle me that...

What trick did Paul refuse to use even though it would've meant his life?
he refused to say "uroshnor" which would probably be the programmed word the bg's use on someone dangerous to make their muscles hesitate long enough for the kill....he refused to say it when fighting feyd..which is funny..cause his saying "i wont say it" basically had the same effect

Yeah, that was kind of campy.

ok...since its my turn..and mine was easy..heres another easy one...

who tried to teach about Muaddib using mathematics until they were silenced by the priesthood

orald · Post by **orald** » 08 Mar 2008 22:06

Yep, FH is a dirty player.

Palimbasha taught in the sietch school. Mathematics. The man was a mathematical boor. He had attempted to explain Muad'Dib through mathematics until censured by the Priesthood.

i think we should have an honor code of not using key words to search pc copies of the books .... i think actual books should be the only tools allowed .... but thats just me

(and thats not in response to my question being answered ... jojo the circus idiot boy wouldve got that)

Then I'd be sore to achieve much, as I haven't got any copies in English, and for some minor characters I'd have no knowledge of the spelling.

But that's mainly a thin excuse to saying "no" to your proposal.

The trick is to ask in either a twisty way to allude to the answer or to ask for something that has to be found out by the context.

Frankly, I knew the answer to your question in what the character was supposed to be, though not the actual name(you try and remember those wierd Fremen names!), and I knew the context to look for it, and in what book(of course I can search them all but I knew it was CoD).

My turn- Who burned his victims and why?

I know Leto II burned the historians but I’m at a loss to remember why he burned them exactly.

My books are in a box in a cupboard and no PDFs allowed. I'm with Tyrant here.

Because they lied.

orald · Post by **orald** » 09 Mar 2008 17:15

Well, I should've said "who burned his victims alive and why?".

But I didn't mean God Leto, as he only burned corpses, and I find it hard to call them victims. They were infedels and blasphemers, satan worshipers and savage beasts! All hail God Leto in his infinite wisdom!

Phaedrus · Post by **Phaedrus** » 10 Mar 2008 09:58

Torquemada.

In GEod Mr. Frank Herbet wrote:The Sisters report that the nine were rendered unconscious, then burned on pyres of their own published works. This conforms exactly with the stories which spread across the Empire at the time. The accounts of that time were judged to have originated with Lord Leto himself.

I know this is taken from an ebook however it is posted to support my answer a few post above.

We all give our handy quotes from e-books, I ain't gonna type in a half page all by myself!

But the quote you delievered just proves what I meant- they weren't really burned alive(unconscious, dead, same for them, they didn't feel it) and weren't really victims("victim" implies the perpetrator to be evil, and to claim God Leto is evil is blasphemous!

).

***

Phaedrus gets the cooky!

I'll pass on the "why" section as it's obvious he knows that if he found out the first answer.

"In the shadow of every religion lurks a Torquemada," Leto said. "You have never encountered that name. I know because I caused it to be expunged from all the records."
"Why was that, Lord?"
"He was an obscenity. He made living torches out of people who disagreed with him."
Moneo pitched his voice low. "Like the historians who angered you, Lord?"
"Do you question my actions, Moneo?"
"No, Lord!"
"Good. The historians died peacefully. Not a one felt the flames. Torquemada, however, delighted in commending to his god the agonized screams of his burning victims."
"How horrible, Lord."

inhuien, I dare you to doubt God Leto's justice again!

Siaynoq! Siaynoq! Siaynoq!

Damn, you have me stumped on this one Phaedrus. Large enough to hold 12 ancient cities?

Fané of the Oracle?

You mean Norma's butt?

Man, that was SPACIOUS. I mean, The Hacks Twain have pulled the entire Duniverse out of it.

Or their own. I forget the details sometimes....

I return from spring break to say nay.

Does everyone give up on this one? It's easy if you pay attention(and if you know what the Fane of the Oracle is

).

I remember searching the term and it refers to a temple Paul built for her use...so...

2000 meters per side.

Of course YOU know.

Alia stood like a black-robed sentinel figure on the south platform of her temple, the Fane of the Oracle which Paul's Fremen cohorts had built for her against a wall of his stronghold.

Keeping to the balcony's outer edge, Paul strode around the corner. Now, his vista was a suburb where city structures lost themselves in rocks and the blowing sand of the desert. Alia's temple dominated the foreground; green and black hangings along its two-thousand-meter sides displayed the moon symbol of Muad'dib.

Not fair, DM is my worst area.

When the Duke's buyers took Jessica from the B.G. school, Jessica felt frightened & unsure.

At what other moment, while Duke Leto was alive, did Jessica felt this way?

SandChigger · Post by **SandChigger** » 26 Mar 2008 13:23

I believe it's Freak's turn. Wait until he asks a question and you get it right before posting your own, how about?

This is decidedly uninteresting when conducted as a free-for-all.

Fantômas · Post by **Fantômas** » 26 Mar 2008 14:25

pls. would you help me out?

anyone...

what is the procedure to post a question?

how do I know is anyones turn?
