Someone had to be first *grin* it just means I get to follow along and haunt you all!

*plops down on a couch and munches on her ghostly popcorn, wondering who will be the first to join her*

Remiel

The turtles! They lied to me!  >:(

Sorry about that, Kyrsa.  I really did pick you at random; I didn't expect everybody else to vote for you as well.  :o

It's interesting that they did, though.  Very interesting...

I am terribly sorry Kyrsa, please haunt me as often as you like...I would enjoy it..giggles
May light guide you through your turmoil and may darkness never cross your path.

White Light be upon you if that is your wish

I always hate to lose anyone from the game, but it must be done.  And you can still haunt around here as much as you like.  :)



Fun Fact: The Egyptian afterlife was supposed to be a sort of idealized version of the earthly Egypt, with no problems or unhappiness; and it was also believed that spirits could sometimes travel across the sky during the day with Ra, the sun god.  Ra was thought to travel in two boats -- the Mandjet, or Morning Boat, took him across the sky; while the Mesektet, or Evening Boat, brought him through the underworld overnight so that he could rise again in the east the next day.

The Hall of Ma'at, by the way (*points to the newly-altered title of the thread*) was where the souls of the dead were tested to judge their fitness for the afterlife.  Ma'at was the goddess of truth, order, and justice, and if you've heard of the ancient belief that the heart of the deceased was weighed against an ostrich feather, that's Ma'at doing the weighing.  Doing evil was believed to make the heart heavy, so only those whose hearts were lighter than the feather would be welcomed into Osiris' realm.


I love ancient Egyptian history, can you tell?   ;D

((I will be offline for a few days. If you need to skip my vote for the next round, if I am unable to post, I don't mind. I don't want to hold things up. I will try to post if possible. Please forgive.))

wow this does now seem like whoever is the first to step up is the one that gets voted against.

Valerian

Since we've managed to tie, I'll borrow a page from Caeli's book and use the dicebot for a tiebreaking roll.  Paladin, you'll be 1-10; Remiel 11-20.

The gods have spoken!  Sorry, Remiel.

And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!  ;)
