Uhm no, wouldn’t it imply that Gravy’s argument going roughly “Since your temple is burning down, this is your last chance. Might as well tell us” is all part of a setup between Gravy and E-Merl?

No, no. Maybe I’m wrong but as far as I’m aware Nihilism can mean quite a few different things. The core element is destruction (progression towards nothingness), or beliefs that ultimate destruction is the most desirable or even ‘right’ outcome. This could be a conviction ranging from regarding just oneself (“I’m a bad person, suicide is the right thing to do for me”) or some part of the world (“nuke the people, save the whales!”) or the entire world (“let it all end in hellfire!!”). These cultists’ spin on it seems to be more like “it’s gonna end anyway, so let’s see who can make the most hellfire and spectacle in the process”.

Doesn’t seem to be the reason. Okay, it’s a smartass-detector.

Well played.

Or is it just the Reply-function?
