Good vs. Evil

[lenscas]

84 because I never imagined I had to ask this question :"is there an English word for a pile of wood/hay/other flammable stuff from ancient times setup in such a way that it can be used to burn prisoners?".
yep, my mind is a lovely place where people live happily together and no one gets murdered /s

 

[erindalc]

85 wut? And I think the word might be pyre? Although that's usually a "funeral pyre"

 

[lenscas]

86 the word is indeed pyre
(perhaps pyure likes pyres?)

I think it is also best not to mention the full context of why I needed it.

 

[RealKC]

85 well I want to know it now

 

[erindalc]

86 yeah me too

 

[RealKC]

85 he could just make a conversation with us if he doesn't want to post it here

 

[erindalc]

86 that is true

87 I like to create fantasy worlds and for the one I currently made I decided to write stuff down.
However English is not my main language however it is easier for me to write my thoughts in it then in Dutch. This sometimes results in weird questions.

(they are used to burn children btw)

 

[erindalc]

88 not sure how to respond to burning children, but cool!

 

[lenscas]

89 it has to do with people being very scared of dark magic and to be honest in their position I don't really blame them.
(which is perhaps the most disturbing thing about it)

90 So this world and Salem, Massachusetts in the Witch Trials era have a lot in common, it sounds like.

Any possibility of influence from Innistrad?

 

[erindalc]

91 have you ever read "the crucible" Someone else?

 

[Someone Else 37]

92 I have indeed read it, and possibly watched a movie made from it. About the only things I remember are the setting and general premise (i.e. the Salem Witch Trials), some of the characters' names, and one single line and its immediate context: "BECAUSE IT IS MY NAME!!!", spoken by some guy (name started with a T) who'd played a major role in the play, expressing his reason for why he'd rather get lynched than (falsely) admit to being a witch and being spared the lynch (but not all the other crap that being a "proven" witch comes with).

I think I might've remembered that line in particular because my English teacher that year liked it. I believe he was the one I had my sophomore year in high school... four or four and a half years ago.

 

[erindalc]

93 I actually probably read it around the same time in middle school... Wow it's been 4 years.

 

[Someone Else 37]

94 because the digits are both perfect squares.

 

[erindalc]

95 Because REASONS. Don't question me.

94 The Crucible was the dumbest book I've ever read. Maybe it was because my English teacher insisted that John Proctor caused all the issues and forces Abigail into her insanity because of oppression of women. Like lol.

 

[erindalc]

95 I remember searching which character is the crucible was most evil and the answer was "Abby"

 

[Henry Link]

96 I remember reading it way back in high school as required reading. But, I didn't enjoy it much due the teachers wanting to over analyze the novel. A novel should be for enjoyment not analysis.
