I kinda wondered why nobody ever offered her a beer…
From Wikipedia:
In a myth about the end of Ra’s rule on the earth, Ra sends the goddess Hathor, in the form of Sekhmet, to destroy mortals who conspired against him. In the myth, Sekhmet’s bloodlust was not quenched at the end of battle, and this led to her going on a bloody rampage that laid Egypt to waste and almost destroyed all of humanity. To stop her, Ra and the other gods devised a plan. They poured out a lake of beer dyed with red ochre or so that it resembled blood. Mistaking the beer for blood, Sekhmet drank it all and became so drunk that she gave up on the slaughter and returned peacefully to Ra.[5] The same myth was also described in the prognosis texts of the Calendar of Lucky and Unlucky Days of Papyrus Cairo 86637.[6]
I think he’s in the Eastern time zone, so he’s probably asleep (unlike me and my insomnia.) We also don’t know when he’ll check in again. It might be better to message him at the BBS, or add him to the DM with Sekhmet.
Thanks for all the good things you did for the bbs community while we were over there.
Today’s a sad day, but it would have come a lot sooner if it weren’t for your efforts. And if it weren’t for you, we might not have had the opportunity to build and launch this lifeboat.
You’ve still got a sizable whuffie balance over here, and there’s a seat for you in the café.
ETA: Much later. Gotta point out that @politeruin’s response was to the entire crashing down, not just to my anonymising. That particular detail has been niggling at me.
Speaking for myself (and, it seems, many others) but you’re welcome here. Thanks for everything you did over there.
Thank you! I didn’t expect to be as upset as i was when logging in this morning for the first time and seeing it all locked down, preserved in amber, beware of the leopard… you don’t know what you had until it’s gone.
