It's always important to question your preconceived notions; the things that you internally take as a given, but have perhaps forgotten why you landed on that. Oftentimes it ends in things like this, where there's a few possible readings but it was never resolved and is no longer relevant, so you accidentally go from 'I think it's like this' to 'I'm sure it's like this'. Thanks, Jemachu; asking for evidence when it isn't clear is always important.
I'm a longtime lurker in this section of the forum because I always find it hard to post between the childish debates that go on in here, but because of said lurking I'm well aware of your derangement towards the ancients. So forgive me if I find it quite hilarious that you've essentially made up a headcanon about their plan and used it to color your discussion of them in this thread, especially when said thread had nothing to do with the ascians to begin with, and are unable to back it up. Funnier still, despite what you said about jumping the gun, you're still doubling down by saying "but it's LIKELY" as if we should believe you anyway.
