Ok, I'm putting the breaks on this train: This is NOT a thread about Van Diagramming Runescape and real world religions, so, please, keep that can of worms elsewhere, as interesting as I will admit it is, it really should have a thread of its own.

Okay...

So the way we evacuate all the denizens would be to send All Dem Noobies (ADN's) to someplace like Teregard or Iaia or even New Domina. Zamorak wouldn't mind loaning Pandemonium to anyone (except maybe Papa Smurf), plus it's a pretty place.

Here's a crazy thought...

We talk to the Elder Goddesses before taking the truth behind Zaros's words for granting and murdering a race of beings?

Ffs, we don't even know what will happen to the universe when the Elders die. It will probably have massive universe-wide consequences that we've yet to imagine.

We haven't really even tried, now have we?

As far as we know, they're intelligent beings with the capacity to communicate with each other. If they can 'talk' to each other, then it's only logical that there must be a way for us to 'talk' to them. We just need to figure out how!

To the Elder Gods we are like unto amoeba. Hell, it's implied that even the younger gods are like unto amoeba (or at the very least, reasonably sized insects). Have you chatted it up with any amoebas or insects recently?

Remember that we couldn't even make sense of the Elder God essences we encountered in OOAK. Our pathetic mortal minds had to dumb it all down. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

Amoebas are single celled organisms...they literally do not have brains. That is a horrible analogy. Insects? Maybe, but even that's a limited analogy. Insects and humans have no common link while Elders and mortals do.

You're right that we humans and Elders are very different, but how different? The Children of Mah were literally born from the mind of a dreaming Elder; that means that the idea of their existence is not an entirely foreign concept - not to Mah at least. The fact that mortal existence is intimately related to potential could come in handy. I don't know how yet, but it's a start. We need to research that common link and figure out how to use it to our advantage.

You misunderstand the analogy. Brains or other "common links" are irrelevant. The idea is that we humans are nearly infinitely more advanced and intelligent than amoebas. In all likelihood, it is the same with Elder Gods and mortals, which is to say that they are so complex/advanced (or perhaps it would be more correct to describe them as primal?) that they are literally beyond our ken.

Additionally, talking to the Elder Gods is only step one. Even if we can get through to them (somehow), how are we supposed to convince them to not do what they've been doing for what is likely countless cycles? Especially when it could mean that they'll just die out, without the Anima Mundi to feed off of? "Hello, Elder Gods? Yeah, could all of you just go off into some corner of this universe and die, so you won't obliterate us? Super, thanks~!" It's far more likely that this is an "us or them" situation.

Either way, we'll learn more with the research quest. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.
