Board Thread:The Trials of Apollo/@comment-34435307-20180122172929/@comment-34897228-20180310180456

This is what I'm talking about. Apollo knew that Marsyas can't play his flute to upside down cause flute can't work that way. If flute can also work that way, it's okay. But otherwise, it is considered as cheating. Apollo used his tricks to defeat Marsyas, which using tricks was cheating. What if Apollo did play flute but not lyre, and Marsyas did play lyre and while both of them playing their instruments, Marsyas suddenly starting to playing his lyre upside down and telling Apollo to ''Hey, dude! I bet you can't play your flute upside down! and than Apollo loses cause he couldn't playing his flute upside down cause'' it can't work that way, while Marsyas win, cause he can play his lyre upside down. It's not considered as cheating then, If Marsyas cheated Apollo? In mythology, Marysas fucked up but not because his music skills lower than Apollo's, but because he was a mortal satyr and Apollo was a god and since Apollo was a god, no one even dare to judge him when he was cheating (It was cheating, bro, don't deny it.)

But, ohh, someone judged Apollo and it was Midas and he fucked up too. Cause Midas choosed Marysas as the winner. And Apollo became angry than he changed Midas's ears into those of a donkey. So, If you don't choose a god as the winner, and If you use your own free will and decision you will fucked up by that god.
