gah isnt going to happen, Ill have it up tomorrow -_- Sorry guys!

Attention thread members: I'll be getting my wisdom teeth removed this Friday, and as a result, I likely won't be posting much this weekend.

Im so sorry it took so long, Ive recently found the joy of in-game RPing on guild wars 2 and its had me somewhat distracted. Ill be making a bigger effort to remain active here so hopefully this is my last delayed post

It wasn't even that much of a delay. Don't worry about it. ^^

heh I guess Im just paranoid about taking any gaps, all my RPs seem do die whenever I do ^^;

I'll be ready to post once you get a reply up for Maya, Kaga. No rush.

It could take a while, sorry.

No problemo :P

So while you're waiting, I'd appreciate it immensely if you guys would take a look at the WOTM voting threads for this month. Your fellow Guild members worked hard on those entries; they deserve to see some votes come in and maybe get a little feedback, too.

Yeah Im in no hurry other than to keep up with you guys ^_^

Hopefully, there will be posts from me today.

I make no promises, though, as I'm still not 100% recovered.

I've got a bit of writers block and an essay to work on so I won't be able to post today, i'll try to get something up tomorrow.

That's fine - no rush.

In the meantime, I'm working on my reply now.

Ill be throwing up a post tomorrow n_n

Kaga -- Not sure if this was discussed already or not, but why don't you have it where it is considered a high crime in Sorenaye for those on the outside to own a tamed draconide. I'm sure the inside wouldn't want the outside to learn how to train their own draconides in order to rebel against the sword-and-shield knights. The knights can even be the ones who enforce such law. Don't you agree?

Hmm... Well half the point of the Sword-and-Sheild Knights is that they can defend themselves from such an uprising, should one occur. Plus, I'd included in Maya's CS that she used to know people who owned one, though it died of old age quite a few years ago. Plus, the Inside shouldn't be concerned with the Outside taming too many of them, since they're pretty expensive to own, and most Outsiders don't have a ton of money to throw around.

Besides, I prefer the atmosphere of tame Draconides being at least slightly easier to come by on the Outside.

No offense, but I wouldn't think the King would allow such an uprising to have a chance at forming against the Insiders in the first place like that. Would he really be so careless to potentially jeopardize the order of his kingdom by not enforcing such law? It's like if the UN allowed just any country who wanted nuclear weapons to have them (or in this case tamed draconides, carnivores in particularly) - that wouldn't be smart on their part. It's not outside the realms of possibility that any Outsider could obtain a strong titan somehow (that they learn to train from an egg) and let it feed on Grazers (not much cost in that). You could say the law wasn't passed until recently or have it in the process of becoming law. Maybe only Grazers are allowed to be owned on the outside? Outsiders could still break the rules in secrecy if they hid them well. I believe it'd be more interesting if there will be a rebellion scenario, but you can do what you choose. Unless it was costly to train a draconide properly, because I don't assume training a wild reptile would be as easy as just anyone raising them from an egg. (sorta like breaking a horse, but much more complex) Though I still think it'd be safe of the king to have said safety law just in case someone who knew how to tame them decided to betray the kingdom - which could make for an interesting twist. *this is me debating, not arguing with you*

You do bring up a good point. I like the idea that they can only own Grazers - in fact, there could also be certain size limits in place, or regulations against various natural weapons on a Draconide. I could actually make that work rather well. Let them own Draconides, but with restrictions... hm...

There would also be different levels of difficulty when it comes to taming a specific breed of Draconide as well I believe. Maybe some are more obedient and cooperative (which is a given that grazers would be so easily tamed by the outsiders without professional assistance on taming them, because they are far less aggressive) while carnivores are much more difficult to train. Dominique could have raised Xavier since an egg, but you could mention or incorporate that he had to take Xavier to taming classes or taming professionals to break him in and to teach him how to behave around other human beings. These taming professionals would only exist on the inside or in other kingdoms who could afford them since they are expensive and gain great profit from their profession.
