What grass do you use?

Postby Crimmond » Sat Aug 29, 2009 9:48 am

What types of grasses are there available to those homeowners in your nations? There are obviously TONS to choose from, but I picked just a few of the more popular ones because they would be the most likely choices.

We have the Cynodon:

Image

The Agrostis:

Image

The Saint Augustine:

Image

The Kentucky Bluegrass:

Image

And, of course, the common Centipede Grass.

Image

So, out of all those choices, which one did you choose?































Alright, if your answer was ANY of them, you should be ashamed of yourself for participating in the useless threads that permeate this sub-forum. And if you chose one NOT on the list and were about to post it... holy crap, you need to get a hobby.

Usually none, as most people in Swilatia live in apartment blocks with no-where to put any grass.

...We don't define or classify our grass. It's a weed for kuck's sake. It's grass-y grass.

By the way, I agree wholeheartedly that this is almost as useful as "What font do your highway signs use?"

Cannabis is the all-time popular, but it's not like there's nothing else.

For instance, aggressive carnivorous plants that consider humans just as tasty as all other creatures.
Plants with poisonous spikes that easily pierce NBC suits are popular for the fences.
There are many genetically engineered and just mutated plant varieties for your garden.

Fatatatutti is a lush tropical paradise, so planting grass would be a bit like adding water to the ocean. You get whatever grows naturally in your front yard. If you don't like it, you'll probably have to move.

(By the way, gardening is considered a rather odd perversion unless it produces something edible.)

I saw that one coming! I was impressed by your grass research, however.

Many of the threads in there are superfluous to be sure (fonts used on your highway signs? Yeah...). Some of them are interesting and help to flesh out your nation, however.

I dunno. A thread about highway signs in general, or even more broadly, about highway systems in a nation could be interesting. It's getting hung up on the details where insanity sets in.

But yes, well-played Crimmond. I personally use Space Grass©®™ - shinier and laserier than normal grass, and you can smoke it to get UltraHigh. 8)

There are no government records concerning grass, so it's assumed whatever grew there originally.

All Federal government buildings are landscaped with beautiful and synthetic Grass-is-Green™, although occasionally concrete/asphalt companies will strike it lucky in newly constructed buildings when Grass-is-Green attempts to charge exorbitant rates (which has happened on 3 separate occasions to-date).

As with most forms of life on the isles of Tyria, grass is lethal. It grows to astonishing lengths and has razor-sharp edges that put katanas to shame, literally making them 'blades', capable of cutting through skin and bone with ridiculous ease. Many-a-Charr has lost a limb during a romantic jaunt through grassy plains. Occasionally, Tyrian grass will 'flower', with the buds becoming ten-foot high, carnivorous 'mouths' similar in appearance to Venus fly traps - however, these mouths choose mammals and other large animals as their prey. To make matters worse, most mammals, Charr and human alike, experience an allergic reaction to the pollen of Tyrian grass, a reaction which renders them completely impotent and causes reproductive organs to shrink to a tenth of their previous size.

It is for this reason that lawns, football pitches and picnics are completely illegal in the UCC.

I don't see why people get so upset over the more "silly" topics. I think it's kinda interesting to see how other nation's answer and it makes me think about things that I otherwise would have overlooked for my own nation.



Not that I'm implying that types of grass isn't crossing a line.

Another Vault...

The popularity of Fallout 3 has made them rather common, although I don't get why wouldn't most of them rather play for Megaton or something...
I'm not going to carry out preliminary judgment, and Vault 16 might actually turn out a decent player, at least a good amount of effort put into the posts indicates the potential.

Just to remind the general public that Vault 10 is the original Vault, i.e. the first actually NS-active Fallout-based nation, and takes inspiration only from the Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout Bible themes, not any later games, and that being merely an inspiration, not a direct transition.
