Is it alright ?

Also, I need a better name for them.

the question is, can they be the Children of the Hubris?

fuck no.

fuck no.

Why not?

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

I am insulted

Sci, you were already approved by Hark before I came to the forum. You were not included on purpose.

Anything I can do with my species?

If you are asking me... I cannot see any problems with your race. It seemed clean and original enough for my taste ^^

I still would like to see what you think

[G-Tech Corporation]

Yes. Towards the end where civ name "The Children" should be the one. You had so many choices that I couldn't tell which one you wanted me to use. ^^;;;

Is it alright ?

Also, I need a better name for them.

Perhaps the Shadows-that-Walk?

It was more along the lines of fun over scientific legitimacy. Creative nonsense over logical boredom. On-the-spot deus-ex-machina over droned-out theory of relativity. I guess if you want me to, I can certainly find a way to create something that is remotely scientific through law of quantum mechanics or the likes... but again, I don't think it makes much sense alongside dark energy crap.

In terms of dying off... yes, they did. They evolved to preserve their little, starving lives as much as possible, and no one in the species were recorded to die of old age... as in everyone died of starvation. High rate of fertilization (when they can reproduce) and babies in bundle of 8 max was the only driving force keeping the race from being extinct. If Conruptios did not get domesticated, Feylins would have been archaeological dig for scientists to ponder.

I'm not denigrating you- I love creative races. My own is a mess of sand held together by magnetic flux. They just need a bit of thought as to the how, not the why. You've got a fantastic 'why'.

But, think of it like this: There exists a precursor race to your people, from which they came. One of the children of that race develops a sudden inability to interact with matter via evolutionary mutation- the start of your species. Doesn't that child starve and die before it is ever weaned? What would cause an entire race to be able to reproduce and slowly adopt this mutation? You can't outrun starvation by breeding; starving creatures are often literally incapable of pregnancy.

Like I said, more thought. How does your species reproduce if they can't touch each other? How did they ever acquire the nutrient-dense food that justifies brain growth to language and civilization? How did they eat before the Coruptios came onto the scene? How did they domesticate the symbionts in the first place if they can't interact with them? How have they developed anything resembling technology with no ability to direct interact with matter?

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

fuck no.

Why not?

I never ever ever want you to work with them

dude, you really need to read what pascal writes... ^^

[Oscalantine]

If you are asking me to define it using science, I got nothing.

It was more towards something interesting to create than having actual science behind it. I wasn't considering it at the moment and I rolled with it, deciding to tackle the situation as need rose.

frekeshly electromagnetic?

Guess having something like "antigraviton" or similar theoretical physics would work. Again, if I wanted to, I can get something from theoretical physics and put it up as an excuse. However... again, I don't think it will satisfy the people who have problems with my app to begin with.

But thanks for help, Sci. I think I just need to bother Hark about it once he is done with mechanics later.

[Ralnis]

Why not?

I never ever ever want you to work with them

Why not?

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

then wouldn't they just freeze to death?

They are insulated from cold just as much as they are insulated from heat. Plus being in the treeland helps curve that climate factor down a bit.

but.... but....
Light>heat>life...

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

Why not?

give you a lot more power....

[G-Tech Corporation]

then wouldn't they just freeze to death?

More likely boil- their movement will release thermal energy, and if that thermal energy cannot escape the area immediately around one of the Feylin, the temperature within their bubble will slowly rise- they'd have to literally spend most of their lives standing in streams to allow the water to integrate into their bubbles and act as a heat sink.

[G-Tech Corporation]

The scientist?

oh...
I can never write Oscal-whateverthefucks name.
So i developed a nickname of pascal.....

[Ralnis]

And that is bad in the height of all the other empires in the world?

So your problem doesn't lie in scientific backing but the actual lack of lore? If that's the case, I can always write more. The reasoning behind me stopping there isn't because I got nothing... I simply don't have the backing. If you need lore-building, you needn't tell me any more.

... but before you doubt me, I already have plenty going in the actual app. I am trying to summarize it as best possible for the masses.

What about Warp drives?

[Denmark-Hanover and Skaneland]

It wasn't hard to find... first result when you typed in "faustian physics"

Dammit. Korea must have region-locks against that link. Google sometimes do that to prevent offensive contents from springing up in different regions. Why WAS that locked, though? Hmmm....

Exactly. The reason Faustian Physics was not mentioned in the app is because Mystifa was just considering it. And Mystica only labelled the Mzistiki as an empire because he saw other people doing it, so he thought it was okay. Can you have the app relabeled so it says the Mzistiki Nation?

Sure. But Mystica needs to edit that and let me know before I can change the status. If he really wants "empire," try to type it in his civ's unique language or something so that it isn't as obvious. After all, it is labeling.

Um...he's not exactly, available, at the moment. I could just find his app and quote it, then change it.

No need to rush. The main problem with it was Faust stuff. As long as it is understood that you cannot start with the concept of region-spanning empire, things are fine. Plus... we aren't exactly starting atm. So I think that's also a upside to this as well ^^

I have no idea where his app is. Could you link? If not, I'll just page surf. And it's not an empire, it's just a city with an emperor. So it's an tribal monarchy.

[Denmark-Hanover and Skaneland]

Hark, since I see that you're here, will Faustian Physics be allowed?

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

My creatures are totally science approved!

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

also the survival in the woodlands thing..... well i think that it wouldn't give you complete immunity, it wouldn't kill you. Just slow you down.... a lot/bit

[Jute]

My creatures are totally science approved!

Mine, too, I guess. Somehow

[Jute]

also the survival in the woodlands thing..... well i think that it wouldn't give you complete immunity, it wouldn't kill you. Just slow you down.... a lot/bit

Then how could you live there for a longer time?

because i'm the thing emitting the toxins.
