[OOC] Upon Our Changing Times

[TheSovereignGrave]

<Snipped quote by TheSovereignGrave>

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

@RisenDead

Well marriage existed in other cultures aside from Christian ones. Even if it did differ a fair bit from the traditional monogamous deal we're familiar with in modern times. :D

@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.

@Dinh AaronMk

Yeah I could, As for the names I thought we didnt have much in the way of cultural unity yet, but I could change them into something, and I can work on the history section.

@TheSovereignGrave

You know what I meant!! But seriously, partners dying, we've had a population crisis before, not again!

[Lucidnonsense]

As for culture, can I have a bit of Indian influence? also around what year is it? Also, what are the limits on ethnicity and stuff?

@Lucidnonsense

The year isn't important from a fiction-nonfiction comparison. All you need to know is "Bronze age". Like-wise, the area is maybe no larger than a quarter the size of the northern bulge of Vietnam and within the tropical zone. So while geography or hunting range might separate tribes local to the area they'd be within the same cultural feel. Like-wise the farming refugees coming east to escape persecution or annexation by the western Emperor would share a common ancestry best described as not being Indian.

The map to be honest just isn't that big yet.

[RisenDead]

Post, filth!

[Dinh AaronMk]

It's a toss up for me between Precipice and this. I have maybe one or two more parts left on my PoW post before I wheel back to here.

[TheSovereignGrave]

Sorry about that; I'll try and get a post up today. Just bought all the Mass Effect games, and I've kinda been preoccupied with binging that. Not to say I've been completely neglecting this, but I've just been doing other stuff.

[RisenDead]

Cannibals, love it! Well played sir.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Back! Will try to post tomorrow when I have time.

@ClocktowerEchos

Waitin on that post...

[Dinh AaronMk]

tfw people make promises but no one learned to deliver.

[RisenDead]

I'm out of province for a wedding with no time To post but I'll get one up as soon as I have some time

[TheSovereignGrave]

Yeah, I was sorta waiting for someone else to post before I got my next one down. Because, you know, I thought they were going to.

[RisenDead]

I do plan on it, I'm just at a wedding so the time I need to post does not exist. That said, I will try to have one up by Monday at the latest. I like the huge amount of creative freedom we have here.

[TheSovereignGrave]

I'll try to get one when I can. I gotta think about it some more, and we just got a kitten so that's been keeping us occupied.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Finally made a post. I would explain my departure and lack of posting, but I doubt any of you would bother listening to it much less believing it. So to make it all that much easier to believe, I'll lie and say that my pet hamster died and I was in mourning and thought fanfiction would be the best was of mourning.

At any rate, hopefully I made a half decent post that people will slightly enjoy.

[Dinh AaronMk]

I totally didn't forget.
