Lord Michiko's castle is one thing, that doesn't mean you cant expand upon your own idea for other sunken cities. Maybe some lost civilizations, reminents of predragon war cities or artifacts? hmm? hmm? On modern earth, we have only explored roughly 1% of the ocean, theres much we don't know, which makes the possibilities endless. If we haven't explored it then why is it using modern sonar and mapping technology we are able to map out the ocean floor... |
greatgreenman said: Lord Michiko's castle is one thing, that doesn't mean you cant expand upon your own idea for other sunken cities. Maybe some lost civilizations, reminents of predragon war cities or artifacts? Yes, indeed. There is already precedent for lost civilizations in the setting (Old Dynasty, anyone?), and in the ocean there's a lot more space in which to hide them. |

greatgreenman said: Nope she is Somalian, her complexion is certainly darker than my own, but she and the rest of her family insist that they are not black. Oh. Well then, "de' Nile" ain't just a river. Sorry, they're black. I don't know why they'd think that's a bad thing; I've been black all my life, and proud of it. |

The surface reason for this is that the Lords forbid the building of such vessels. Yes, there is a deeper reason. Yes, the GMs know what that is. No, we're not telling you that yet. |

While I tend to think that such secrets are rather cool in concept, I worry that I'll somehow write something that contradicts the "actual" history/setting. |
aspicientis said: Not everything shows up, most certainly very few life forms show up, thats why we try to go down and see for ourselves.If we haven't explored it then why is it using modern sonar and mapping technology we are able to map out the ocean floor... tygertyger said: They don't consider it bad, but they're of the opinion that not everything is so simple black and white, also being that they're 75% Somalian, and 25% Arabic. Believe me i've had the discussion, but it's their opinion and there's not much changing that, nor do I really care to push the point, its not really that important. It's like choosing what wrapping to put a gift in, all you really care about is whats inside.Oh. Well then, "de' Nile" ain't just a river. Sorry, they're black.

Well since it looks like tyger just told everyone hes black I'll tell everyone that I'm Native American. :P greatgreenman said: aspicientis said: Not everything shows up, most certainly very few life forms show up, thats why we try to go down and see for ourselves.If we haven't explored it then why is it using modern sonar and mapping technology we are able to map out the ocean floor... I was mostly talking about the basic formation of rocks and subsurface features but OK just add in lifeforms... |

aspicientis said: greatgreenman said: And if something is In a cave? *Cough* Ignore it *Cough* ;D But rocks are in caves...isn't that blasphemy for one such as you? |
emeraldtryst said: aspicientis said: greatgreenman said: And if something is In a cave? *Cough* Ignore it *Cough* ;D But rocks are in caves...isn't that blasphemy for one such as you? .....Damnit. D: Yeah it would be but caves mostly just have limestone... which is a sedimentary rock... I dislike sedimentary rocks... |
| You never know :) |
|
| *Cough*Em when is the next chapter?*cough* |
| Something along those lines... ;D |
| I've been making it happen. Should be...soonish. I have all of sunday and monday off, so assuming I don't sleep for another 18 hours, it should be up quite soon. I can't write the crossover chapters in advance (obviously) so it's taking a bit longer. Plus I did a bunch of writing the other day when I was tired, and then when I took another look at it, I realized it was absolute shit. It's honestly about 96.3% done right now, then just needs some polish. |
| Just tell me when you're ready to look over my next chapter. Again I'm borrowing a character or two. ^^ |
| You can send me what you've got. It might speed the process anyway if I feel more behind =P |
emeraldtryst said: You can send me what you've got. It might speed the process anyway if I feel more behind =P Just let me finish the past due rage scene. :P |
| Kami's not so daily MSG topic I'll put an effort to not let this thread die out >:( Based on the stories you've read, which monster girl species do you think is most popular as in appears in the majority of the stories? You don't have to re-check every single story, just your general impression is fine :) [Also to not get too much into details Archane will include all spider sub species, Lamia all snake type girls, Slime - all kinds of slimes and so forth] |
| Dragons! xD |
| Without looking, I'd go with lizardman, with an honorable mention to werecat/nekomata. There have also been a surprising number of zombies if my memory serves correctly. |
| If I was to be asked I would have answered the same as Su. I don't know if they actually infest most of the stories but it feels like they are very common. |
KamikadzeTM said: If I was to be asked I would have answered the same as Su. I don't know if they actually infest most of the stories but it feels like they are very common. I wouldn't say they are common, but I think you guys are right in that they have appeared in a pretty good chunk of stories. It's just that I can't think of any stories that DON'T have a lizardman (or zombie) in them. =) |
| Dragonkin and lizardmen appear, or are at least mentioned, in almost every story. |
| "When you have bought your own load of hooey, you know exactly what it is worth." -- Bruce Sterling |
| @Em Just for the sake of the argument - Greatgreenman's for example doesn't have one(lizard-thingy) I think. (Lamias are separate category) |
| (Sry for Double Post) To clarify, the reason why I argued is because when I thought to myself "Which is the most popular monster?" I immediately thought "Dragons \o/" but when I did quick rough look through the stories I think they might not be AS common as I thought. |
| Well...GG's story is fairly newish so I wasn't counting his--though his DOES have a couple zombies in it =P |
| That's why I clarified that I wasn't talking about zombies :P |
| Well, now that I think about it...I'm going to go with zombies =P That said, in a lot of cases, the ones mentioned usually show up as antagonists. So does that make them "most likely to be hated"? |
| Fiore objects! XD |
| Well, since they have low intelligence maybe it is assumed that the reader won't feel too sorry for them.......WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO THE POOR ZOMBIE GIRLS, YOU HEARTLESS BASTARDS?!?!?!? EDIT: @Su Fiore is just one Alraune, not enough to make a trend for the rest of her species. I generally have no problems with Alraunes. But if we're talking about specific individuals then.....yes. |
| I'm not up-to-date on any stories anymore, but haven't spider girls/Arachne been a common one? |
 |

| @GG Doesn't change the fact how mean it is to bully the poor zombies! |
| @Kami: Hey I felt bad when I watched myself kill them.. And uh Tony has been kinda banging a few so it's not all bad right? |
|
| Just be careful because me and Em might start a "Defend Undead Rights" association which distributes heavy punishment for senseless undead violence. |
| @GG - You have been issued a citation for exceptional cruelty to undead. Your punishment shall be 200 hours of undead community "service". You may be able to get by with an insanity plea... |
emeraldtryst said: @GG - You have been issued a citation for exceptional cruelty to undead. Your punishment shall be 200 hours of undead community "service". You may be able to get by with an insanity plea... Just 200 hours? Why not eternity? :D |
emeraldtryst said: You may be able to get by with an insanity plea... But he'll have to go through the special dwarven council to do that.... |
greatgreenman said: Liph said: You break our hearts Liph :(I'm not up-to-date on any stories anymore, but haven't spider girls/Arachne been a common one? I'm not touching anything that has more than 1500 words in one chapter (Preferable around 1000), most of you fail this~ |
|
| Come on Liph! Try Emerald's: he's only got like 7000 words more than your requirement! |
KamikadzeTM said: Based on the stories you've read, which monster girl species do you think is most popular as in appears in the majority of the stories? Definitely Lizard Girls, especially in the older stories... That phrase from the old companion chart about "still having pretty much the same physical abilities as humans" doomed them to be the perfect punching bag whenever you needed to show off your MC's resolve/physical prowess. Poor Lizard Girls... :( |
| Not to mention they are always some generic weak soldiers, thugs, bandits, easy bad guys, canon fodder etc. I can rant about this for about two pages but I will save it up for now. |
| Huh... I see goblins as weaker soldiers and thugs more then Lizardman... |
| @Asp Read more stories. |
