Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening me... GALILEO! GALILEOoohkay... I'm bored... heh...

Alrighty... per'aps we could start a meaningful discussion?

Maybe... uh... the possibilities and ramifications of various species on the game..? Y'know, will each species have specific quirks, what will they look like, etc...

And no, I'm actually against having dragons on the game, other than the possibility of "boss" AIs... however, draconian-ish critters are another story...

We should also figure up precisely the level of tech, and the possibility of technology being built by... whoah.. that'd be a very interesting quirk.. The possibility of players accumulating intelligence and being capable to gather and construct things... the possibilities for that would be quite remarkable, and would cut down on the hack and slash population for a more or less intelligent majority... Think of it: The possibility to have inventors as well as smiths and warriors and such...

With that thought I believe I'm going to be for player-killing, but it must be some form of consent, else we'd not have any newbie characters (or at least not any lone newbies), as well as a penalty of some sort for dying...

I was also toying with another very interesting idea as well... As an artist, I've always wanted to be able to change just tiny details about my character's avatar appearance (such as visible scars or two different colored eyes), what if we could create a script that could change size, shape, and even draw on the avatar? I know its possible to do so (just look at the wings option on Furcadia... If you can stick a pair of wings on a select few, its quite possible to change the appearance of the avatar as well)... It would be a rarity that would put "make your own map" to shame...

If none of that makes sense, I'll put it in simple terms:

1) We should figure out what species and races will be on the game, and figure up their backgrounds and social status.

2) Draconians good, dragons bad.

3) Discuss the possibility of a rising tech level through players "inventing" things

4) I'm for controlled player-killing and a penalty for dying

5) Discuss the possibility of being able to utterly create your avatar, including being able to paint on scars and change the size (within reason) and shape (also within reason).
