For bad weather? As in... 3^^^3 days of sleet is worse than 50 years of torture?
Well, bad enough weather in an agricultural society is murder.
Bad weather, as in 'rain that rots your crops and causes famine', 'wind that takes the roof off your house', 'blizzards that kill your livestock', etc...
I suspect that 300 days of sleet might have an effect, even now.
My Cthulhu, yes. 3^^^3 days of sleet is so far beyond my normal conceptions of badness that I'm not sure a dozen lifetimes of torture would be enough.
3^^^3 is a very large number.
Agreed. My previous post probably reads more seriously than intended.
