Civilization expanding?

[Arundel]

Both are pretty far away from the Lurias, to be fairly honest. Lurias vs SA would be fun, but given the current relations I have a hard time believing it will actually happen. Both sides seem pretty cordial with each other.

True, the relations are cordial, but geographically, we are definitely thinning the gap between our borders. After a a short time, we might be only a region away from Corsanctum ;)

We could go poke them with a stick.

Taking a page out of Averoth/Thulsoma's book, eh? Those who do not learn from history...

Credit where credit is due: Poking the Zuma with a stick right now would be much stupider than poking Sanguis Astroism was for them.

And much more entertaining to watch in equal proportion.

[De-Legro]

Maybe if I use a REALLY long stick, like about the size of D'Hara?

Let's not start with the "big stick" jokes, now. :P

I was more implying I should poke them with D'Hara, sort of a test run you see, so we know just what we are getting into.

I know, but I was awfully tempted to retort with a "stick" joke.  ;)

Terran's stick is bigger than D'Hara's.

[vonGenf]

Terran's stick is bigger than D'Hara's.

No, no, no! That's the obvious, and it won't do!

What you want to say is:

Terran's stick is bigger than D'Hara.

[Chenier]

But then I can say that this is fine, because D'Hara's stick is bigger than Terran. ;)

Geometrically, that's a impossible. Part A_s of object A cannot be bigger than object B if Part B_s of object B is itself bigger than the whole of object A.

If you pose

D_s<=D D'Hara has a stick
T_s<=T Terran has a stick

and

T_s>D Terran's stick is bigger than D'Hara.

Then your statement D_s>T  is false since it implies

D_s>T>=T_s>D therefore D_s>D and D>=D_s, which is a contradiction.

I am excluding the stick's size when comparing, because obviously it can shrink and grow, and we are comparing the max size of the stick which is otherwise not apparent on the holder of the stick in normal times. This therefore allows for the stick's full size to be larger than the holder own size. ;)

Ah, so you believe that essence of a body precedes its existence. Suit yourself.
