@Double Capybara, and the Dreams Portfolio! Why haven't you claimed the Dreams Portfolio yet? That's half of what Ilunabar does!

For example, there is a handful of people here who even have trouble even finding a third Portfolio to pick meanwhile I have something close to a list Ports that Ilunabar could go for right now and it would make sense. Dance, Silk, Palate, Pride, Chitin, Glamour, Song, Sound, Melody, Festivals, Rhythm, Weaving, Aroma, Dolls/Puppetry, Heritage, Artisanship (Though knowing me I might as well pick Cheesemaking and then Winemaking), Tea, Pottery, Birds, Butterflies, Fireflies (And a bunch of other insects and arthropods, might bullshit it by picking Chitin), Mirrors (Even with Glass already picked), Lenses, Crystals, Museums, Theatrics, Tragedy, Comedy, Glamour (In the folkloric sense), Shiny Light and Jingling Keys, Fate.


I... think some of these would overlap and become redundant. ^^;

@BBeast
A) Because I'm literally out of port slots

B) Because I want Dream to fall on a more general domain than Beauty.

But worry not, trough shady interpretation of words and archaic meanings I will soon have a solution to this issue.

I'm a capybara Kho. You are literally asking a capybara to write properly when it is already impressive it managed to write on the computer with its little, fat capybara paws. Think this trough and you will understand.

Edit: messed up, fixed now.

@LokiLeo789, Ilunabar's been dealing in the 'Seven Sins' since before Amartia was born, mate. You have some competition.

Compassion has no place in the Natural Order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.

@Dawnscroll say that to them feckin humpback whales. comin' to our seas and stealin' the one job we have...

Edit: And what's compassion anyway? Isn't the death of the stag a form of compassion by it to the wolf and crow? And is not the eating of the stag a form of compassion also, and of respect? A compassion that says: you die not in vain, brother; and a respect that says: I need you and you need me, brother. Why do we, upon witnessing the ultimate sacrifice that love and mutual need bring about, call it 'the Natural Order' and imbue it with all cruelties and savageries that we can fathom? Is that not the cruelty and savagery of ourselves, which - being of ourselves - is perceived where it is not due to it being all that we know?

Speaking of, whenever you feel like you can crawl out of whatever wifi-less underground sweatshop cell you're stuck in this time, Toun and Teknall can come try to talk to Jvan, who has been in 4am hangover mode for several weeks because Logos turned out to be better at drinking games than she was.

@Antarctic Termite As soon as I win my way out with Russian Roulette money, I'll be good to go. ETA is several hours in island time.

Keep in mind, the contrivance for Toun to come along is currently dependent on the events of a collab between Teknall and Lifprasil. Now, temporal consistency has always been more of a guideline than a rule for this RP, so we could get started at any point. I have just been waiting for a link from BBeast.

@Muttonhawk@Antarctic Termite, Since you want to get started, I'll send a link over.

And speaking of the talk with Lifprasil, it's got me wondering about an old question. Since Vowzra is gone, is there any force remaining which would stop Teknall from rushing a Galbarian civilisation to the space age? Don't panic, the question is currently hypothetical, for my Might is budgeted out to more pressing projects at the moment, but I'd still like to know.

I mean, even when Vowzra was around there was nothing stopping Teknall - or anyone - from rushing a civilisation to the space age. That limitation is placed externally by the GMs and players in general. Sure, Vowzra in his capacity as my shadow in the IC world may have taken steps to rein in anything of the sort, but his existence alone wouldn't have prevented Teknall from building a space-age civilisation.

We have instances of 'civilisations' which are clearly far ahead - Lifprasil's civilisation being the big one, and that of New Chronos being the other key one (if no one noticed >.>) and nothing has happened to them. Vetros is clearly quite advanced, and Eskanadran civilisation - though not on Galbar - appears relatively advanced.
I may personally step in and bring the former two, or any other that may emerge, down a notch tech-wise if they tried to spread revolutionary technologies (which they've no reason to as historically states tended to keep their technologies a national secret. Even their histories were sometimes preserved as national secrets).

But in-game, there isn't really a force - and there was never really a force - that prevented hyper-quick technological development. There is the mechanic which forces new creations to evolve from pre-existing ones over time, as dictated by the laws in the Codex, but that can be gotten around with Might (i.e. Mammon's demons were more or less created ex nihilo). We could, by analogy, attempt to apply that same mechanic to technologies, but I think creation and tech advancement are too different for that to work (and it all depends on how broad 'law' is in the Codex - is it purely science laws [gravity] or is it "Natural Laws" too [if you are an evil people, you will be destroyed]. If we go with this latter interpretation, then the mechanic may work on technologies also.)

So the only force preventing Teknall from doing what you say is the force of our general consensus here in the OOC. Beyond me stepping in personally to bring such a civilisation down a notch should you go ahead, its sudden development could be incorporated in some kind of storyline which would eventually see it crumble (i.e. Lifprasil has plans for his civilisation which are more or less that). If there is a broader storyline purpose behind building a space-age civilisation so early on, we're all ears.

I just met these two adorable older ladies on the street, collecting money and calling people back to Jesus. I got talking to them, and seems like I'll be going church this Sunday. I had no chance, they were just so adorable and huggable.

Edit: Material for a post methinks...

@Kho The reason I bring it up is a single line of dialogue which Lif says in our upcoming collab. My thoughts surrounding it were as follows:
>Lifprasil mentions interstellar conquest.
>Teknall quickly starts calculating how much Might it would take to rush the hain to the space age.

Of course, given that it is unlikely that Lif will actually conquer space, there is probably not much need for Teknall to rush the space age. I have my own non-Galbarian plans for space anyway. What are they? You'll have to wait and see.
