Well, an attempt at personalization of a message was clearly made. As is so often the case, that’s about the best you can say about it.
The odds shouldn’t have been long, actually. Even if a demiurge is not necessarily truly omniscient, it’s still a safe bet that he possesses more and more accurate data on nearly anything than any company or secular entity. And Mopey’s preferences aren’t that hard to figure out, after all. They’re pretty clear, pretty strong and frequently uttered in an unabashed and loud manner. Hard to see how a demiurge wouldn’t have had them in his database.
But perhaps he had the data, and just didn’t analyze it thoroughly enough.
Whatever is the case, I don’t think that that particular disguise is going to help his cause a lot. He might think he’s cleverly playing on Mopey’s satanist leanings, but ultimately he’s now likely going to look even more like a boomer to her than before…
More on Thursday.
Yeah, this is an approach that’s doomed to fail, really. If it wasn’t MOPEY he was approaching, I’d expect the person involved to fall over laughing.
If this was Mopey from earlier stort arcs, I’d consider it a safe bet he would have had more success with Mopey specifically by pointing out that most of the players she faces on other teams will be, stastically, male, and given that this is a sport, they’ll be male JOCKS. And given how complicated the rules of Cricket go, she can likely inflict as much pain as she wants on them and the Refs would be hard pressed to find a reason to penalize her.
Of course, I don’t know how he’ll motivate her now… this feels like the jig is very much up, and I doubt Mopey’s inclined to do a God any favors…
Always fascinating to ask religious people why an omniscient and omnipotent being can rack up so many failures.
