What if..?

[Barzalene]

He'd idle constantly to go afk and deal with is kids.

What if hollywood discovered Arm?

[Pale Horse]

You people aren't playing by the rules.

What if you didn't have to be human to be a hlum noble?

There would be either be plenty of half-elf noble bastards running around, or no non-human Hlum as who the feck would accept them as their betters?

What if hollywood discovered Arm?

It'd either turn it into the biggest movie production of all time, sell it out as a crappy, low-budget B-rate movie, or turn away in horror at a setting even more depraved than it is.

What would happen if I made a dwarf ranger/lumberjack with the focus of cutting down enough wood and killing and cooking up enough animals to start up their own "fast food" franchise in botch city states and each outpost?

You would need a good branding, to employee a lot of people, pay for zoning and licensing to the powers that be of each place, and a snappy name, with its own jungle, thus you need to hire a bard.

Then slowly you would need to employee more hunters and grebbers than any merchant house as your chain eateries grew numerous, perhaps offering franchise to  others.



What is Zalanthas had Lawyers, and there was a pseudo legal structure like ancient greece or the modern day world and criminals would have representation, if they could not afford representation one would be provided for them?

What is all this took place in public, where the two sides argue it out?

[Titania]

What is all this took place in public, where the two sides argue it out?

Then lawyers would be gladiators.

What if a dwarf became a sorcerer king?

What if a dwarf became a sorcerer king?

Then they would have an Emerald city, surrounded by a field of poppies.

[Taven]

You people aren't playing by the rules.

You are a good person and a good roleplayer and I want to have your babies. But only to sell in my dwarven fast food franchise.

Potaje, stop breaking the rules. You have to ask a question if you answer one. No baby fries for you.

What if a dwarf became a sorcerer king?

They would immediately try to wipe out all the other sorcerer kings as inevitably their focus changed to become the only sorcerer king. They would accomplish this by hiring skilled dwarven bards (or a human bender?) to tie all the other focuses of all dwarves everywhere into the defeat of the other two city states. Both Allanak and Tuluk would fall in a matter of weeks. The Gaj, however, would be preserved and moved to the new city-state, because when it's threatened bynners get scary. Defeating Allanak would be easy, you'd steal all the citizens away with promises of food and the system would collapse. With Tuluk, you'd find a magickal way to instantly erase all tattoos, throwing the city into chaos. The dwarf would then command three city-states and own the world. Scary thought.

What if Tuluk had an order of black-robed templars that were hermaphrodites?

[musashi]

What if Tuluk had an order of black-robed templars that were hermaphrodites?

Fap fap fap fap fap fap.

[Kismetic]

What if Tuluk had an order of black-robed templars that were hermaphrodites?

They would dance in front of the mirror to depressing music, with makeup on, saying, "Would you f*ck me?  I'd f*ck me."  Wait, that's transvestite.  Ok, still.

What if Zalanthan politics was like Earthican politics?

[Akaramu]

What if Zalanthan politics was like Earthican politics?

There would be huge demonstrations demanding democracy in both city-states, and people would actually get away with it. A few would get pwnt by templars, but the United Council of the Known would bombard Muk and Tek until they resigned their position to make way for elections.

What if a ranger logged out while riding a kank a few RL years ago, and logged back in now... still riding said kank?

It's happened. Not exactly, but people with old mount tickets have logged in and had kanks. I saw a kank in the last RL year, but it was considered a bug and not counted as IC. If this happens, the ranger needs to junk the ticket. Codedly the kank is sick. I don't know if it would eventually die. Anyone who sees anyone riding a kank would OOC about it, saying that was incorrect.

What if someone found a kank that was still alive and intended to be that way? (IE, not a bug).

Wish up and your mount will be replaced with something appropriate.

[SMuz]

What if someone found a kank that was still alive and intended to be that way? (IE, not a bug).

Everyone would assume that it was an exploit and report/complain about it. Or they'd worship it.

What if all the other mounts died?

[HavokBlue]

Desert elves quickly assume dominance of most of the Known World. Kurac becomes the richest entity in the known as sales of desert camo skyrocket.

What if a mantis/gith PC that was logged out ages ago somehow logged in, in the middle of Allanak, armed to the teeth with steel weapons?

There would be lots of wishing up and staff intervention. Sadly, after the aging code was applied the PC would be physically unable to move. They would be force stored.

What if each GDB thread consisted of (don't get hung up on the how) people talking face to face in a room?

[Pale Horse]

With all the personalities we have on the board?  The blood would be 5 inches deep.

What have I got in my pocket?

That isn't a what-if question! However, it's easy enough. You have the shrunken head of a Red Fang, some lint, purple salts from the day you mudsexxed on the flats and forgot to sell them to Jal, some travel cakes, Samos Rennik's missing eye, Gage Gritsaw's loincloth (ewwww), and Baobab the kank's dung. You sure do keep odd, yet strangely epic, things.

What if cleaning fluid could be used to poison knives?

You would see more 'sneaks' having their 'clothes' 'washed'.

What if a new gith chieftain (or whatever) decided to spread peace across the Known, sending linguist diplomats across the Known to spread the word?

[SMuz]

The diplomats would get shot on sight. They'd have to find some middle man, like a hunter or contact the Byn, but even that's no guarantee.

What if the T'zai Byn never existed?

[Kismetic]

What if the T'zai Byn never existed?

People would hire independents to ride them off the Shield Wall.

What if the kryl decided to move south?

[valeria]

What if the kryl decided to move south?

They would instigate a fight with the mantis for their prime real estate.  It would be known as the Great Bugger War.

If Allanak came up with an air transit system, what would it look like?

[Zoltan]

Catapults.

What if each obsidian coin was the size of a saucer?

[SMuz]

There'd be quite a bit of deflation. And people would be using chunks of obsidian as trading. And little things like foods would be more expensive as they'd cost a single coin. Actually, that sounds pretty awesome, makes more roleplaying sense than counting 1032 coins in a few mins.

What if the city states used glass instead of obsidian for currency?

[HavokBlue]

Major inflation, considering all the sand.

What if raptors were a playable race?

[Mooney]

Major inflation, considering all the sand.

What if raptors were a playable race?

I'd special app/family app for a group of raptors now and jurassic park everyone's ass.

What if someone cried tears of metal?

What if someone cried tears of metal?

They would be the most hard-core half-elf on Zalanthas.

What if Allanak opened an alienage for gith and mantis, considering they already harbour good for nothing 'gickers?
