Jyggy or Mora?

If Azura played chess agasint those 2, who would win of the 3?

Sheogorath would win.

Mora has the better library, hands-down. I mean, it's likely a wreck and you'll lose yourself trying to find anything. But that's only because it has EVERYTHING. Literally EVERYTHING ever written. (At least that's how I interpreted it.)

Hermaeus Mora, his entire realm is a library that exists outside of time and holds all knowledge from Mundus and Oblivion.

Jyggalag. You'd actually be able to find what you're looking for because he's so damn meticulous.

Jyggy would win the chess game. Unless Mora pulls a cheap fate-trickery tactic out of his slimy mass.

This. His handling of the Tribunal illustrates this. Sotha Sil went into seclusion and lost any interest in being a god. Almalexia went mad and murdered Sotha Sil, then died trying to kill the Nerevarine. Then Sheogorath had a front seat to watch Vivec blame Azura for all of this, banish her, and then disappear. As a result, a few years later the moon resumes its course and crashes into Vivec City. He may not have been Sheogorath anymore by that time, but he certainly had the last laugh.

When you put it that way, he does sound like the ultimate chess master.

Except, Jyggy can predict all his "random" moves. You think it was Sheo's plan to have some mortal mantle him to end the Greymarch?

Nope. It was Jyggalag. He saw it coming before he was even cursed of which he predicted as well.

Except Jyggy never really gets a chance to witness Sheogorath does he? Everytike he comes around Sheo disappears. Jyggy can't predict jack when it comes to Sheogorath.

He can now.

Mora's library is http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GreatBigLibraryOfEverything Jygg's can't compete

Nobody can beat Sheogorath at chess simply because he'll turn all the pieces to cheese when he starts to loose

And Jyggs would predict this and have an ample amount of Mice ready to counter-attack.

Mora does not have everything in his library. He attempts to.

Remember that in Dragonborn he needs you to help him get the secrets of the Skaal. He doesn't have them already.

Except all Sheogorath had a hand in was the falling of Lie rock, everything else was not his doing but Dagoth Ur's doing by cutting off the heart from the Tribunal, he probably didn't even know it would ever fall.

Magnus has the better library.

And Sheo would turn half the mice into cats and let them eat the other half

And then Jyggs would get enraged that not only did his chess game with Mora get sabotaged, but his anti-Sheo maneuver got sheo'd as well. So he solves this predicament by simply going over-kill and completely decimating the wooden chessboard with his crystal claymore. He then kills all the cats and mice mercilessly, and crystallizes the remaining cheese for good measure.

While he's on his compulsive rage, Mora retreats back into his realm and Sheo is eating cheese and messing with Haskill.

I'm not sure, but the Solar Library sure sounds Apocryphal.

Surely Vivec wouldn't punish Azura for the actions of Sheogorath, would he? I would also argue that Seht didn't go insane. Either way, if Sheogorath was somehow involved he was likely not the mastermind.

Then Sheo gets the win by default on the basis of Jygg's unsportmanlike conduct.

Why not? Vivec is not not omniscient nor is he infallible. He didn't foresee Dagoth Ur awakening, nor could he defeat him without going along with what Azura wanted. And madness is Sheogorath's domain, not Azura's.

You, my friend, just inspired a FanFic...

The 36 Lessons of Vivec. Read them.

You, my friend, just inspired a FanFic...

Oh, I agree. This thread jus' needed some variety.

Assuming they were written before Dagoth Ur awoke. Or that he wasn't stealing predictions from Azura's Nerevarine Prophecies. But I see your point, it's most likely they were around for a while, given Ane Teria, whom I suspect was the earliest of the failed incarnates, had a copy of Sermon 12.

Even so, Vivec's http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Plan_to_Defeat_Dagoth_Ur and his anolysis of http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Plan_to_Defeat_Dagoth_Ur demonstrates that the Tribunal are quite clearly fallible. Whether Vivec knew everything and just goes along (as some suspect to be one of the limitations that comes with having CHIM), being seemingly blindsided by Dagoth Ur and placed on the defensive is little different from the concept of seemingly blaming the wrong Daedra for the manipulations of another.

Speaking of, I wonder whatever became of that priestess in Sheograd. I can't help but think that Sheogorath intended it to be the Azura portion of the Sixteen Accords of Madness.
