Lords of Creation 11 (OCC)

[Mik_Hael]

It's not that I don't like it, it's just that a mythical reason concerning the sudden breaking of communication seems to fit better in the age of myth, but your gradual shift works as well, just less exciting, or worthy of story telling, then again they will eventually come up with stories anyway after we take a back seat.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

exactly. Just because A story has magic in it doesn't mean it has to be the reason behind everything.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 It's not better; it's your preference. Two different things.

Some of us prefer an actual divine source for the language divide. Others prefer one that is explainable in strictly mortal terms. Either is acceptable.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Who said it was sudden? A Mythical world is not an excuse to make everything mythical....some things are just better off as simple.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

It was just a generalization, I wasn't trying to speak for everyone.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

And what's simpler than the divine equivalent of handwavium?

[Mik_Hael]

Direct contact with the logic and creative centers of the subconscious which control language.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Not that.

[Mik_Hael]

In these terms sudden takes place over a hundred years or so you know.

[Zaleramancer]

I have bad dreams in English. No bad dream will make me wake up speaking Spanish.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Then there's no need to proclaim your opinion as fact.

"Blondes are better! Blue eyes are better!"

"JA! Heil Hitler!"

Doesn't make it so.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Er...no they don't. Sudden would be fairly quick. Hundreds of years would be quite a long time.

[Mik_Hael]

They will if the dream kicks your language lobe in the head.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Wulf, you never answered my question on which other races you needed besides Brynhildr's (Succubus).

Mina's races: Imps, Succubi/Incubi, Yuki, Shadow-Scarred, Vampires, Lycanthropes, Zombies, Light-Scarred, Kata, Homura

[Mik_Hael]

Were immortal and thousands of yerars have already passed, would be more, but there's the tournament.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I was not proclaiming my opinion as fact. Sheesh.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about the timeline.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Just drop it.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yes. Yes, it is, actually.

Rather than explaining all the scientific, anthropological and linguistic processes and blabbety-blah, just say "The gods made it so."

Problem solved, you're welcome.

The only reason you deny the simplicity is your diametric opposition to religion/God in general; otherwise, either means of explaining the language divide is acceptable/viable, and you know it.

[Zaleramancer]

Then just go ahead an set up a Babble Event.


Geez. I want to make the setting more interesting and everyone fights.
