The Middle East was pretty baller back in the Dark Ages days.

Spain was too, when the Middle East came to say hi.

We're in agreement. The Muslim world was experiencing its 'Golden Age', the Mongols would soon come down and spread Muslim dominions and civilisation even further, Aztecs were having the time of their lives - such rich civilisation, architecture, history, religion. India was on a high, China - bloody hell, China. Even Japan was pretty epic. Humanity was pretty cool before colonisation, other than the odd Ghengis Khan, Tamerlane and pyramids of heads (and even that was pretty cool really)

Edit: And that's just humans. Now ANTS...

I'm gonna refrain from giving you a lengthy history lessons on that misconception.

Dark Ages weren't Dark.

They were partially cloudy.

@Dawnscroll

Meh, Europe under Rome and Europe after is a tale of technological, social and civilisational regression that did not begin to fade until the 12th/13th century.
Of course, other parts of the world bloomed during this period, but I speak of Europe. Dark or partially cloudy or very sunny is irrelevant, what is relevant to my point is the regression in Europe which undeniably occurred.

I'm never a fan of gratuitous timeskips that are simply there because people feel they ought to have been there. Making this the case retroactively would mean it took Slough millions of years to walk around the shore of the Fractal Sea, for instance, but I suppose time's relative for deities.

@Lugubrious

These aren't timeskips, more timeframes within which things just happened. I wouldn't say that Slough walking took millions of years, but the creations that have come about while she walked have certainly taken a long time (something like the oasis, while not seeming to take long for Slough, probably took thousands upon thousands of years)

@Kho You can always go the Atlantis route. Deity gets pissed, suddenly a civilization colapses into the sea.

@Dawnscroll

Or we can go collapse of the Roman Empire route. Tribals get pissed, dark ages for 1000 years

This brings an important topic, lets stay D&D/Warhammer fantasy tech at most for a while ok? I don't want silly mortals on my space anytime soon :<

@Double Capybara

As I said earlier, I want to explore prehistory fully. If anyone goes about advancing things too quickly, then technological, social, economic and civilisational regression is not unheard of

*technology includes magic

I don't really care how humans get to Galbar, so long as we get Ug the-not-even-Caveman on Galbar soon.

The hain are amazing, but Galbar is not Galbar if there are no humans T-T

Yeah. Except for mosquitoes.

What's all this with being down on humans? I for one am a general proponent of humans.

@Lugubrious

Damnations and Curses! Mosquitos were exactly what I needed *weeps silently in a corner*

I'm not down on humans at all, I just wanted to be sure that everything is in place for the great unveiling of Mankind. Anyone planning on creating humans had better make it good, or they'll be receiving a very long, cold and hard stare of doom.
I know Logos is creating them wherever he is, but we need them on Galbar too.

Mid/High Casual - Divinus: The Deity Roleplay Mk.II

@Vec Oh it even worse Vec. Logos isn't just making humans... he's GIVING them things.

@Dawnscroll

-.- what kinds of things

<Snipped quote by Dawnscroll>

Y-y-you mean it's time for the birth of the calamity known as Humankind?

@Vec

Eh, I meant more the animal kingdom rather than humans.

@Frettzo@Dawnscroll@Fabulous Knight
Regarding the idea that was flying about a bit earlier, I'd say it is interesting, and I think it should be flexible so as to accommodate Fab's idea but also permit Dawn's more hardcore version.

So what we could have is a tiered opt-in system where players can, on a weekly basis:

a) Choose to create whole posts exploring how creations view a particular god
b) Choose to create 1 post exploring how creations view a particular god
c) Choose to place a few paragraphs in a regular post/a few regular posts exploring how a particular creation/creations view a certain god

The way I've been doing it (you may have noticed with my ant post) is just to explore the lives of created beings in general. I find it quite fascinating, but it is more a personal thing rather than an RP-wide system.
I don't want to create something unless people really do want it and it doesn't restrict them in any way. It may be better to just do it informally for fun and to spur discussion in the OOC
