What if..?

[Marshmellow]

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

Disappearances would be as common in 'Nak as Tuluk.

What if either Tek or Muk was really female and they got married and had babies?

Arm 2.0 Catholic style.  The bureaucracy to maintain at least three orders of templars (Clerics), different cities etc would rival the Sancta Sedes.

What if the ability to horde In-game items/materials was removed ala no save rooms, no banks, limited inventory?

What if Zalanthas was just a small continent on a massive planet?

Sadly, 95% of the planet is silt.

What if a Zalanthian character was magicked in such a way that they could read English and had access to both the Armageddon Website and the GDB?

He/She would join the others that had already escaped the ignorance and lead the fight against the puppeteers that are the players. He/she will create havoc on the forums, dodging and combating the attempted locks by the Mr. Nyrs, and ultimately win freedom for characters who tire of their player's control.


What if it was the norm to have magick, and non-magick people were the oddities?

Then a large portion of players would quit. Also Tuluk would be ICly (not just in terms of PCs) underpopulated. It would get to the point where they would have to develop a gem (or something like it) or be conquered by Allanak/rogue mages. There would also be extraordinarily strict laws about how magicks could be used. Also, everyone would employ magickers and doing so in a public fashion wouldn't be looked down upon. Also merchants would be worshiped as near-gods for their scarcity (in an IC sense not a PC sense, assuming that vNPC magickers could not make new items but only do subguild type things).

What if there was a technology elementalist?

What if there was a technology elementalist?

They'd be the only elementalist that was hard to skill-up, owing to the lack of metals, plastics and general technological know-how of the Known.

What if every character were given journey-man level or advanced-level skill caps in all the non-guild aligned skills, like Climb and Cook and the weapon handling skills (dual-wield, shield-use, etc)?

[Marshmellow]

Noone would play a mundane except to be an oddity.  (Cook is a class skill, btw.)

What if there were airboats powered by Whiran wackidoo?

They'd -still- die in the silt.

All towns and cities would be domed. (Domed like a stadium, not doomed in case of confusion)

What would happen if all 'magick ceased functioning for 8.5 IC years?

Templars would get fucking pwnt.

What if the passage of time in the game was directly equivalent to real time?

[Taven]

What if the passage of time in the game was directly equivalent to real time?

I wouldn't play. Besides that, characters would never age significantly at all, and they'd get emotionally old way too fast. Players would idle lots more as cooking a meal for their PC suddenly took at least 30 minutes of real time. Interest would decline over all, except for the mudsexers, who would be glad that they didn't have to stop to eat mid-session anymore.

What if all gems on gemmers could only be seen by templars/soldiers and were invisible to everyone else?

You mean Armageddon would turn into one of those cybersex MUDs where the main kink is that you can assassinate people after you have sex with them?

There'd be a lot more dead mundane raiders and thugs.

What if the gems made the wearers invisible?

[jstorrie]

What if the only spellcasters in Zalanthas were Allanaki templars, powerful Dragonthralls, and sorcerors?

A lot of players would be upset they couldn't play magickers, but ultimately, magick would be that much more scary.

Oh, and parties.  They would all get together and have parties.  Just like the Gypsies... (fuckin' waterslide)

What if there's a graveyard room with all the PCs who ever died in it?

[Mooney]

Death would no longer be as devastating, like how you tell kiddies Grandma's up in the sky, and warriors IG would dream of something like Valhalla, etc. OOCly it'd be a super walk down memory lane.


What if it was coded that you could break bones?

Raiders would hang out at the bottom of the shield wall or other deep holes by Allanak, and taunt the broken-legged bynners before stealing their stuff.

What if magickers cast with their toes instead of hands?

[valeria]

What if magickers cast with their toes instead of hands?

Rogue magickers would be easier to figure out.

What if trees were actually a coded and limited resource around Tuluk?

[FantasyWriter]

It would look like Allanak by now.

What if the 'great flood' had happened to Nak instead of Tuluk?

It would've burned down to the ground.

What if the Zombie apocalypse theory is the way Armageddon 1.0 ends?

[Taven]

MUD. MUD EVERYWHERE.

What if the fire-rain happened in Tuluk?

There'd be no more forest, or grasslands. Everything would be covered in ash and char. Tuluki would have lost it's entire trade basis; no more wood, no more animals for everyone to hunt, no more cotton picking. It would be a nightmare. Dasari would be completely ruined. The city would be in a state of chaos. There'd be starvation because all of the food and plants would just be gone, all burnt away. The rich culture would largely fall apart as people scrambled to survive. Refugees would pour into Luirs. Furthermore, the Known would have a huge die off in the population. Even if you assume the fire mountain didn't happen in Allanak, Red Storm East giants would have happened, starting a famine there. Kurac would close it's gates to keep out the refugees, and both city states, driven to desperation, would look for places to invade. They might try taking over Kurac, or the Mantis Valley. This would lead to disastrous results. Armageddon would be facing Armageddon.

What if the Zombie apocalypse theory is the way Armageddon 1.0 ends?

Arm 2 would occur on an island in the silt sea, because zombies can't swim in silt.


What if instead of Tuluk having a kyrl issue, all spiders in the south were replaced with kyrl?

Not much would change?

Clearing his throat and spitting out a large wad of phlegm into the sand, the leathery, heavily scarred man says in southern-accented sirihish,
   "Hmph. Seems dem Scrab gone'en got'emselves sum black shells."

What if an unknown army of silt pirates swept forth from the silt sea - Attacking and raiding Red Storm and as far as Allanak?

[Cutthroat]

What if an unknown army of silt pirates swept forth from the silt sea - Attacking and raiding Red Storm and as far as Allanak?

The templars would say they are vying to be king of Allanak... and call them vie-kings. The Vie-kings would then ask the templars if there were any other undefended coastal towns around here (out of curiosity, of course) and be directed to Red Storm East.

What if Tektolnes keeps a collection of chalton leather boots, and promotes the templars that harvest the most boots from citizens every year?

[Mazy]

What if Tektolnes keeps a collection of chalton leather boots, and promotes the templars that harvest the most boots from citizens every year?

Then the demand curve for chalton boots would shoot up to astronomical. Anyone who could tribute their precious chalton boots would be granted 'protection' by the templars they gave to. Infighting in the southern nobility would increase, but the lines between races would be shattered forever. With the glass ceiling broken, we would see half-giant templars, breed templars, maybe a few angry war beetle templars, and a silt horror or two. Anything that could bring in a steady stream of chalton would be welcomed!

What if kyrl, raptors, and spiders were playable races?
