In Response To: Re: Rule Thirty-Pfhor... (Dispatcher)

: I must have gotten the idea from the terminal image of T'fear on the M2 level
: "Eat It, Vid Boi !" He looks not only bipedal, but downright
: humanoid; more so than the ranks which you have enumerated. I wonder why
: that would be so, since, as you say, these are all the same race? Other
: than being bipedal, the only thing which suggests a relationship with
: T'fear is that pesky third eye in his forehead.

I'm not saying they're all the exact same race. That is, in fact, the very heart of my theories; these different 'Pfhor' are all similar, but not the same. They are related for sure, but also different. What I've been trying to explain is why that could be.

: As for slaves in responsible positions: according to the lore of the Old
: Testament, a slave called Joseph served Pharaoh.

That's not slavery, by my reckoning. That's a slave winning his freedom and, if I may use the expression, hitting the ground running. Maybe somebody who's read the Bible (I haven't, unfortunately) can correct me, but I don't think that becoming a Vizier can possibly count as still being a slave.

Also, quick sidenote, that whole 'One should store the surplus grain because there's gonna be a huge famine' doesn't seem incredibly smart; it seems downright obvious, in fact. That the Egyptians could build an infrastructure on that scale and not figure out the obvious solution to a famine seems a bit absurd. Just my quick two cents on that piece.

Vale,
Perseus
