[Denmark-Hanover and Skaneland]

Sorry, I see the Wheel part under the Mzistiki block. And I have stated( Mystica did to) that the option of Faustian Physics is completely Harks choice. If it is approved(Faustian Physics, I mean), the Mzsistiki will not like, control the weather or the moon(s). I will moderate it so it didn't turn into god mod. I believe the strongest thing they would be able to conjour up would be a sword. And not even an energy sword, I mean like a medieval human sword.

Alright. Without that Faust Physics I think that it is within my power to approve... as long as you ask him to edit out the "empire" part, since we are starting at tribal settings.

I'll edit the changes, and change the status. Sorry for the mix-up T^T. Please let me know ASAP whenever Hark decides to approve Faust Physics or not. In the meantime... I am going to ignore that section of the post in the app (well... just leave as is, since it wasn't part of the app to begin with), and leave a comment on the list.

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?

Heh, it's hardly scholarly. It's magic, with as much explanation as any other magic system.

Magic can be scholarly.

I agree, and alchemy, the precursor to chemistry, was both something that you could consider magic and scholarly.

Something like this? http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/24/books ... .html?_r=0

I cannot believe you found that article. So... magical.

Anyhow, that's basically what I was thinking of. Again, I am going to ignore Mzistiki having such problem until Hark says otherwise.

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

Anyhow... it seems Feylin was yet again burried.

The point is (and I will edit so that Dark Energy nonsense is gone) that Feylins have this invisible force that prevents anything from touching it. This does not include radiation (hence being able to see Feylins... yeah, I decided and will stick to that. If anyone want to invent laser guns and shoot Feylins, go right ahead), but it doesn't include heat (exception to the rule).

Conruptios are a species of flora that predates on Feylins. However, since then, Feylins have been slowly domesticating Conruptios for use as shelter against further predation as well as its only food source.

After reading mechanics... I am planning on species traits to count towards Conruptios (as in Genetic Evolution as well as Social Evolution). It will operate in a different manner but at the end of the day I am going to make a stand that death of Conruptios = insanity and civil anarchy of Feylins. So for all those who wish to kill my civ just needs to worry about Conruptios and not Feylins (which will fall should Conruptios become extinct for whatever reason).

In terms of diplomacy, Feylins would be heading that (since Conruptios are only semi-sentient). However, civilization aspect will be based partly on Conruptios... as in aspects such as Order, Health, Population, and Living Space will concern Conruptios (logic flows that if Feylins fail to contain Conruptios, Conruptios become wild again and eat all Feylins to extinction).



... does that seems reasonable enough? Anything more that I need to answer to get my profile approved by the masses?

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....

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.

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.

Hmm. Perhaps say that they have a cultural aversion to touch, one so heavily reinforced over time that they develop the slave race to work for them?

You can't view it?

No, I can view the article fine. But sometimes Google doesn't like showing hits of certain things. I think Korea has region-locked "how to create a gun" or something along those lines a year or so back. I think it is possible now but I know that there are few key words that won't show results that you would expect.

Chucknorium?

That's probably better than what I can get at.

It is Deus-ex Machina at its simplest sense. I didn't think it was a problem since Feylins' feigned invincibility is not actually true (its only way of existing is to maintain a delicate balance of domesticating its own predators) and is very fragile creature on the inside. It was before I knew that Hark liked science-backing, so I am trying my darnest best to appeal that it is harmless T^T

Maybe they just have different search results.

If push comes to shove, I need to recreate the entire species, if you feel like lack of scientific backing is hard to approve.

Main reasoning behind that is that my species' entire culture, livelihood, customs, and very traits of civilization lies on that fluke of evolution. The fact that it simply cannot touch anything physically has made them a dying race fearing only starvation and death, and newfound prosperity through domestication of previously predators all the more central part of its society. The civ's architecture and even the migratory patterns also reflect this, since they have no need for housing and need to move around in a crop-cycle manner to keep Conruptios (only food supply as well as only matter of protection) happy.

So... yeah. If this is all too hard to swallow, let me know and I will create a new race from scratch. While I would rather use this than to create a generic race (actually... I probably won't even get there since I like lore-creation and would probably create a new race within a week), but I know that there are certain expectations that I need to maintain as a member of RP.

[Prusslandia]

Osc, have you looked over my app yet ?

[Oscalantine]

Osc, have you looked over my app yet ?

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. ^^;;;

Well, the trouble is that we're working with evolved races, no? It's Hark's final call, and he's less of a stickler than I am, but I'm not honestly seeing how a race that can't interact with matter would have been able to evolve in the first place, let alone be functional as a thinking society- before the domestication of the Conruptios, wouldn't they have all died off?

[Prusslandia]

Is it alright ?

Also, I need a better name for them.

[In Gentem Et De Libris Scientiam]

I was actually of going with that first, but thought giving them wings might make it more interesting in the end Also, it's pegasuses or pegasai.
And which ones here use dark matter?

Mine XDDD

Well, not dark matter... and even if it is dark energy, that was a poor description used to describe a phenomenon that I didn't want to bother explaining in any other way.

Feylins have physiology that literally prevents them from being touched by any matter. I am debating whether I will have Feylins be vulnerable to radiations (ie. lasers) and such an so forth, but I know that it doesn't transfer heat atm. I used dark energy as a poor excuse, but basically it is a psychic biology that I need everyone to look over so that it isn't something that will become a lore-problem.

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.

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

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.
