this discussion has continued because you seem to have trouble digesting the fact that the gods don't need humanity.

as for the slaughter thing, i didn't miss anything, else i wouldn't have quoted you: humanity doesn't cause nor suffer the most. tyranids cause the most slaughter amongst every race they encounter, and because of their numbers they also suffer the most slaughter, and orks, again because of numbers that dwarf humanity into insignificance, cause and suffer more slaughter than humanity, and every drop of blood shed in violence feeds khorne - khorne would be in absoutely no danger of starving without humanity.

and the dark eldar absolutely feed tzeentch. what makes you think that because their attention is focussed on avoiding slaanesh that they don't feed nurgle with the despair their many victims feel, or feed khorne with every drop of blood they shed, or feed tzeentch with every scheme or desire for knowledge or power? the many, many schemes of the dark eldar, as well as their lust for power, would be pretty tasty to tzeentch. psykers aren't the only thing that substantially feeds tzeentch: psykers are mainly associated with tzeentch but he can feed from a far wider range than the other gods. the only arguement that holds water in regards to the dark eldar not substantially feeding the gods is because of their few numbers, but the depth of their emotionality makes up for that somewhat. (oh and ignore that line about tzeentch's lifespan - i was thinking about nurgle's lifespan and wrote that line without noticing, so my bad on that one :P)

but don't worry about the discussion continuing, i'm done as there's only so long i can talk to a brick wall.
