I have an eye for details and a really good memory, in consequence this is how my mind runs when I'm watching movies:



Oh yeah, my mind works the same way. During a movie, I can't help pointing out every plot hole and bad detail I see. It drives my family nuts. Don't even get me started on Jurassic Park. Suffice to say, I agree with the whole video.

But enough about that, we have a war to fight. (Yes, even FEA had some nasty plot holes)

Everything wrong with Jurassic Park is that it isn't the book, which is vastly superior. Although there's not plot holes in that movie so much as there is editing errors and whatnot, given the times.

Well ignoring the obvious issues with the entire scientific premise which was complete bullshit, how about the dinosaurs with frog DNA being able to change genders?

That's why it's called fiction, it's allowed to be bullshit because it's not real.

@Prince of Seraphs

Obvious issues with the scientific premise are rather easily resolved when it is considered that this was penned in 1990, before there was definitive proof that their DNA would and has totally decayed by this time. Secondly, and might I add, most importantly, it's a sci-fi horror novel. There is absolutely nothing not self-consistent in the logic and science introduced in the book. In reference to the frog DNA, this refers to the fact that some species of amphibians are capable of changing their gender when the local environment has a huge disparity between the genders. This is called sequentual hermaphroditism; the most famous species capable of doing this is the clownfish. In the book, because the dinosaurs' genome had decayed at least in part by the time InGen began harvesting it, there were huge gaps in it. There wasn't a way to create an animal from it, so they began filling gaps in wherever they'd fit; they used birds, amphibians, lizards, and basically anything that'd fit.

So, no, these aren't real dinosaurs. They're genetically engineered animals using dinosaur DNA as a base. The method the scientists of Jurassic Park used to control the population was both make sure that the diets of the dinosaurs were controlled so that the only source of lysine on the island came from InGen's food stores, and that every single 'dinosaur' created was female. This is especially easy to do in cold-blooded lizards, as it's simply a matter of what temperature you keep the egg at during its gestation. However, because of this bastardization of the dinosaurs genetic sequence, especially with amphibian DNA, there were unforeseen side effects, the most obvious and relevant to the story being that all of a sudden, most or even all of the species of dinosaur on the island were capable of this sequential hermaphroditism. due to the aforementioned dominance of the female gender. This, in turn allowed aforementioned breeding and the troubles caused by it.

Anything else, Prince?

I rather wish that there'd be more posting IC and less OOC. It's hard to tell which is the least constructive--no conversations, or these confrontational conversations.

Which is why he is paired with a knight. Its a risk, but in war, to win, you have to take risks.
Besides, Kel and Jakobe have the highest movement, so they can close quickly and chase the archers down if they run.

I stand by two hours. That'll be long enough, I expect, for any tensions leaking out of the IC to be dealt with by those hosting them.
