Pregnancy

[Fujikoma]

can't they just get pregnant and poop it out? everybody's happy and they get to keep their wiener.

Sudden idea for a half-giant that carries large turds around caring for them like babies.

[RogueGunslinger]

A whole new lower class of society.

If homosexuality is as common as the quickstart says it is then everybody's butts should be loose enough for it already

This conversation is.. Asinine..

[RogueGunslinger]

I agree, this is absurd!

Women should birth from their asses too, to make things truly equal.

I'm pretty sure there is a Sandman story involving Thor, Loki, and a squirrel that exactly addresses this.

[Potaje]

You both are obviously lost on the humor of my word, though I enjoy Asscist, much.. for the word not the meaning.. But at least we are both in keeping with the conversation on -asses-.

I should at least get extra poins for assume and assist.

Speaking of Loki, he -did- give birth to three children.

He only gave birth to one eight-legged horse child, and that was while he was in the form of a mare and was impregnated by a stallion.

[Zoan]

There is literally no reason for babies in Arm except as emergency food that doesn't spoil.

[Malken]

I always thought of pregnancies as one last ditch effort to put some "excitement" in two characters' life or a character.

One character who I had like 2-3 children (+ inheriting like two previous children from random dead hunters) with drove me to the edge of insanity with her perfect role-playing of what having babies in a world like Armageddon would be like, so kudos to that, but krath did I go insane each time I would log in and be way'ed that the child's fever wouldn't go down and I had to drop everything to come and take care of the baby or that the little bastard had puked all over my favorite shirt and she had to junk it.

And of course, she didn't want to just leave those 4-5 kids in our tiny apartment so we could go hunting, so we had to cross halfway through Tuluk just to go drop five screaming children to my virtual PC's mother and then the virtual mother wouldn't just let us leave, she'd invite us in for a meal while my PC's mate and her discussed life and and.. Urgh!

[RogueGunslinger]

That's fucking beautiful.

You can avoid all of these virtual roleplaying sessions with virtual npcs and virtual children with virtual vomit, by simply rendering all of your characters virtually, permanently infertile.

Being driven insane by women we love is a huge part of being a man.

This is what I do. Realism be damned. I'm raising a kid IRL and my preferred form of escapism does not, and will not ever, include children.

[Inks]

I think Malken's story is awesome.  And I think props to anyone who can rp it like that. If I see people getting instant abortions the second the mate dies my finger slides towards the kill button. Kudos to you virtual single mums

I don't actually kill people for this reason. I just want them to give me IC motive.

Ahh but it's so fun when bebe gets his first bludgeoning weapon.. toy.. er.. *cough* Zalanthian Parenthood. Sometimes, it's awesome.

VNPC kids and pregnancy, are only great, if you sign onto it with full intent to attempt to keep that brood alive, know they will barf on people, cry, get sick, get hurt, hurt you (especially if you're a woman, you best be puking and mewling sometimes from all that heat and the smell of those midden heaps!) And just like in real life, some people will go omg stay away with those monsterous brats, and some people with be bloody delighted with them.

It is -HARD- to consistently RP it, but holy damn it can be fun as hell. Not everyone will enjoy the style of play, but I personally love a really vile and hilariously awful VNPC family if I so choose to start with or obtain one. ^^

[Lizzie]

The problem with VNPC children, is that they can't be codedly stolen. For instance -

You're at the bar, bouncing your 1-year-old on your knee. Because, y'know, that's where people bring their 1-year-olds. To bars, where there are thieving elves and magicker gemmers and rinth-rat backstabbers and corrupt soldiers and drunken Bynners.

So you're there - and one of those backstabbing rinth-rat elven thieves is hiding under the bar - and..

emote grabs %greasygemo babeh in mid-bounce and whooshes the kid away from the bar.
n

So - how is the templar going to know where the kid is being held - if the kid doesn't codedly exist? No one will EVER be able to find it. Or the corpse. They won't be able to find it, because - it doesn't exist, in this world where people codedly exist.

Or let's say...your kid is really the stuffed gwoshi doll with an arranged ldesc.

This room <NESWUD LEAVE>
It has a description.
A tow-headed little boy is here playing with a stuffed gwoshi doll.

Except - you did that an hour ago - and logged out for the night. And the game crashed 5 minutes later, and the ldesc didn't get saved.

So Joe Burglar shows up and sees a stuffed gwoshi doll is here, on the floor.

He thinks oh cool gwoshi doll for my f-me Muarki girlfriend. And he takes the doll.

You log back in the next day and OMGWTFBBQ MAH BABBEH IS STOLED!

But no one stole your baby. It's right there, virtually, exactly where it was when you virtually left it there. But because it's virtual, you can't see it anymore. But you don't know that, because you logged out prior to this. But your -character- didn't log out. Your -character- was virtually there the whole time, virtually taking care of her virtual baby.

The whole baby thing is just so convoluted - not to mention that the baby ceases to exist as soon as mom and dad get bahameted.

I knew my parenthood horror story would summon you, you masochistic rper you

and Lizzie, really, there are tons of stuff that can be screwed up majestically due to the virtual world that surrounds our PCs, your example is just another example of what ifs that could include so many other stuff.

and like I said, it wasn't in our habits to just leave the virtual children without supervision by either us or another virtual character, so unless that burglar also decided to kidnap my PC's mother (something I wished for so much!), that just wasn't going to happen.

People also have virtual brothers and sisters and no one bitches that you can't attack or kidnap these people..

[greasygemo]

I would hope if anyone tried to steal mah bebe, they wouldn't power emote it, and instead, give me a chance to put the bebe down and attempt to fight them to the death for rights to the aforementioned bebe. xD
