Bitch Please

I'd prefer something more akin to actual southeastern asian animals (though not exact, obviously; this isn't the real world), and not just generic jungle animals.

And I mean, do we really need gorillas and hippos if we can have rhinos and elephants? Plus gibbons! Who doesn't like gibbons?

[RisenDead]

I forgot about Elephants... Excellent. Excellent.

On domesticating mounts:

I wasn't going to have those sorts of things in the RP. I know it sounds fantastically awesome to ride a tiger into battle but when push comes to shove for the lot of us it'd be beyond any of our societies. Dogs of course would be the only real universal thing for obvious reasons. The farming types can get away with cows and mules. But I wasn't planning on even having the horse show up.

[RisenDead]

Got to wait till the Spanish make it across then? Fair enough.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Or the Turkmen from the far-far west and a bit north to trade their horses off for... something.

[TheSovereignGrave]

I always found it a bit amusing that there are Turks and Turkmen and they're two separate (if related) groups of people. Though should we wait for you to make your own first opening post? Or should we just post once we get it down (hypothetical question; I'm not done yet)?

@TheSovereignGrave

I'm going to be a pre-occupied and a bit lazy person admittedly; I got to report into jury duty tomorrow and I got my birthday celebrations coming out. So a first post won't be from me for a while. I need to work on a Precipice of War post too and I don't think I'm even half-way through that.

So in the interests of making sure this doesn't die in OOC limbo any of ya can post first. I'll follow up when I get a chance.

[RisenDead]

If I throw up an IC post how many of you are still onboard for this?

[Dinh AaronMk]

I am of course, and I got a good day of nothing to do but catch up on posting. I just had some shit going on for me on my end, a lot of work. Also I had jury duty.

[RisenDead]

Good, then post! I'll work something up today/tomorrow.

[TheSovereignGrave]

I probably won't get anything up tonight (it's late) or tomorrow (D&D day) but I should have a post down by Monday. Or I may get it down tomorrow; we sometimes get finished with our session early enough.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Since no one else seems to want to, I did so myself.

You're welcome.

[RisenDead]

Got your back jack.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Thanks brah, luv ya

[TheSovereignGrave]

All right, writer's block broken. Got my first post up; hope it's up to snuff.

Oh neat, so your culture doesn't have a concept of 'marriage' either @RisenDead? Though it seems there's a fair bit of difference when it comes to fathers and their roles.

[Dinh AaronMk]

@Lucidnonsense

Do you think you could take a double look at your names and change them? I can probably see them working for the South-East Asian aesthetic I'd like to see, but it might be a bit of a stretch. As well, I'd like to see more history given to them, this is supposed to be an advanced-level RP but I can't tell if you'll be able to commit with a single-paragraph background section. Surely you can add more.

@TheSovereignGrave

Pretty much! The whole Christian concept of marriage is clearly silly here. Particularly when partners die all the time...
