			:Agree. But I've moved the paragraph here so it's not lost to wikihistory. [[User:Moishe Rosenbaum\|Moishe Rosenbaum]] ([[User talk:Moishe Rosenbaum\|talk]]) 01:13, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

			"Alternately, Oswald/Osric/etc may be an example of a Disc-bound god, either manifested spontaneously from the long-ago Academy Awards ceremonies of ancient Holy Wood, or purpose-built ''a la'' [[Mrs. Gogol]]'s techniques to guard the Cthinema against the Dungeon Things. In which case, the rituals of [[Deccan Ribobe]] and his predecessors constituted the necessary worship that kept him conscious, and Ribobe's passing caused him to revert to a normal statue, much as the Great God [[Om]] became a normal tortoise outside of [[Brutha]]'s proximity. He revived anew when [[Victor Tugelbend]] and [[Ginger]] demonstrated sufficient faith in his protection to return to the Cthinema and sound the gong."
