Damn, it's now 8/9/08 here. There are a few time zones where it's still 8/8 though. I don't know why I'm so curious, but I am.

The problem with the MK in disguise theory is that it reads like someone doing a bad MK impersonation, not an authentic work. If it is MK he has apparently sobbered up (I kid, I kid).

I suppose it could be another dev but it seems unlikely, it was probably just some random person who got discouraged when every time they post people trash it. I will say this whole idea was potentially a good one, it's just been poorly executed so far.

I did som slight research on this character,that may prove interesting:

Nou Seprid means 'Our Peace'

Arctavoy an Adabala (a previous post) means 'remember the [I God Stone]'

I may look into his presumably ayleid post and translate some of it as well. We shall see what mr. peace is really up to.

and I favor the position of not being a jerk to him, you never know what's really going on. You could have just trashed someones aspirations and made him feal aweful -perhaps offering constructive criticism would be a better way (As some have chosen to do) in my opinion, what some have done to these posts is simply childish.

Also it seems in this guy's character to only have 1 post per topic -doesnt ever respond to anyone's proddings/jabbings. [has anyone perhaps pm'd him?]

I just want to remind folks that Mr. Kirkblade is not the only person who could make such a post with authority.

That said, did anyone try actually playing Oblivion yesterday? I suddenly find myself wondering if maybe there was a special event that triggers when the date is checked, and is 8/8/8. Too bad I thought of that too late to test it. Still, if it were true, there'd be some pvssyr over at Ob: Gen or CHS. There isn't, so probably not.

I want my money back.

It was the same old same old, at lest for me.

Bleh.

::Pulls out Shadowrend::

I know how to deal with Ayleids.

i did, though i was playing Stirk and not vanilla. nothing special happened.

put up or shut up, dont tease us. its kinda sad that were bored enough to be all exited for this

If such a thing existed, someone would likely have found it by now.

I was not on vanilla aswell, but I don't think anything happened.
I was actually a little disapointed, part of me wanted something to happen.

my game kept crashing
but that was because of mods

At the bare minimum he knows what people look at when they see MK (assuming it's a fake, and being it's now 4PM on the 9th here it's either that or something came up, as things do) posts: Cryptic, check, ayleidic, check, obsession with 8, check, obsession with elves, check. If it's a fake, they had me fooled on the backwards-depression sounding Ayleidic.

Eh, it was in ok attempt. I'd never resort to pretending to be someone who was pretending to be someone, however, and so I'll just say that, while the effort was admirable, the content was not. It sounded like a bad poem trying to be like Sermon 10, considering it IS Sermon 10, at least all the context taken from it.

You have discovered the tenth Sermon of Vivec, which was hidden in the words that came in the aftermath to the Hortator.

The evoker shall raise his left hand empty and open, to indicate he needs no weapons of his own. The coming forth is always hidden, so the evoker is always invisible or, better, in the skin of his enemies.

'The eyelid of the kingdom shall fill thirty and six folios, but the eye shall read the world.' By this the Hortator needs me to understand.

The sword is an impatient signature. Write no contracts on the dead.

Vivec says unto the Hortator remember the words of Boet-hi-ah:

We pledge ourselves to you, the Frame-maker, the Scarab: a world for us to love you in, a cloak of dirt to cherish. Betrayed by your ancestors when you were not even looking. Hoary Magnus and his ventured opinions cannot sway the understated, a trick worthy of the always satisfied. A short season of towers, a rundown absolution, and what is this, what is this but fire under your eyelid?

Shift ye in your skin, I say to the Trinimac-eaters. Pitch your voices into the color of bruise. Divide ye like your enemies, in Houses, and lay your laws in set sequence from the center, again like the enemy Corners of the House of Troubles, and see yourself thence as timber, or mud-slats, or sheets of resin. Then do not divide, for yet is the stride of SITHISIT quicker than the rush of enemies, and He will sunder the whole for the sake of a shingle.

For we go different, and in thunder. SITHISIT is the start of all true Houses, built against stasis and lazy slaves. Turn from your predilections, broken like false maps. Move and move like this. Quicken against false fathers, mothers left in corners weeping for glass and rain. Stasis asks merely for nothing, for itself, which is nothing, as you were in the eight everlasting imperfections.

Vivec says unto the Hortator remember the words of Vivec.

UNDERSTAND THAT SITHISIT STILL TRAVELS

Vivec says unto the Hortator remember the words of Vivec.

IN A PHOSPHORESCENT MIRROR OF THE SKY

Vivec says unto the Hortator remember the words of Vivec.

DROWNED AND SMILING

Vivec says unto the Hortator remember the words of Vivec.

INTERMITTENT HOPES ENOUGH

Vivec says unto the Hortator remember the words of Vivec.

TO ANSWER ALL THE THINGS

Vivec says unto the Hortator remember the words of Vivec.

NOT YET QUERIED

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Anyone want to play a game of 'Guess the Similarities'?

Care to explain? I'm a bit fuzzy on my lore, but I fail to see any big similarities. There's no mention of any twins, nothing about the Hortator (well, "chosen," but that doesn't mean it's Nerevar). There's mention of loving Boethiah, but how's that relate? And what about the Gold King? The earthbones? Trinimac-eaters... either Orcs or Boethiah worshippers? What's that have anything to do with what Sepred posted? I interpreted his post as being a warning that Anu and Padomay were going to return, destroy the 8 Divines, become the new gods of Tamriel and must be fought off by Talos (or something like that - perhaps they wouldn't destroy the Aedra before they're worshipped by folks - but I got the impression Talos would be the final line between them and Tamriel). The 10th Sermon seems to be... some warning to the Hortator about Sithis from Boethiah conveyed through Vivec.. or some vague warning about Azura cursing the Chimer ("shift in your skin, Trinimac-eaters")? The Sermons make my brain hurt - which does make me wonder why, if this IS MK, I found Sepred's post to be so easily decipherable (probably it's because I'm only seeing what I want to see...).



You're right about Nou meaning Our, but SeprEd (that's an E) means Gift. So it's Our Gift... Whose gift? The Twins? I'm still thinking he means Anu and Padomay. Are there any other famed ES twins that might destroy the Aedra? Gah, I admit, I want to believe! =P

Ok, I'll break it down.

whoever this guy is if he's not a dev then you have to give him credit this was really thought out. too bad he didn't pull through.

It wasn't amazing, mostly becuase I think it was too short.

Got this from one of the old posts by mr. gift (thanks for pointing out my mistake)

Thought it worth putting here

As you may have guessed, I am in favor of actually taking this gy somewhat seriosely, or at least not dismissing him outright. No matter what's going on here, we can at least have some fun!

Best guess is to just hope he has some whacked out story as to why he was so late in ending the universe.

or its possible that something did happen -something was created lore wise/his own story wise that simply hasnt been found by us (or even revealed to us) yet. maybe someone should look!

I'll check under the desk, you look behind the coach.

Oh No! Lorkhan is hiding under the desk! Everybody run! Look out, he has the Ayleid remnent with him!

I'm telling you, man: Lorkhan is the LEAST of our worries!

Depends. If you're a human, then probably. But if you're en elf, you've got until yesterday to get the hell outta Nirn before it takes you with it!!

Sure, but what I am trying to figure outis -why does he have the Ayleid remnant with him? What's going on?

Oh No! Here comes one of them! Where'd I put that soul gem? AHHH!

(a loud struggle is heard)

Slilence! I assure you am I davbninja. No Ayleid is come, not worry, safe are we all!
