Being the recent amount of pregnancies lately, it's about time (if it isn't public information posted somewhere already) people know exactly how long pregnancies are.
I've been doing this so far:
=4/5*32
=4/6*32
If time in Yliakum is 5 times faster than in real life, and an Enkidukai's pregnancy lasts 4 months, that would result in about 25 days of pregnancy.
If time in Yliakum is 6 times faster than in real life, and an Enkidukai's pregnancy lasts 4 months, that would result in about 21 days of pregnancy.
However, there are many factors that would change this.
I'm unsure how many days there are in a month in Yliakum. The formulas above are going with the assumption of them being 32 days long. Also, I'm unsure if time in Yliakum is 5 or 6 times faster than in real life, since I've heard it said both ways. If we can establish these factors, it'll be easier to roleplay out the child being born.

/me sits back and watchs where this thread will go.
Let's see how off topic it can get. It should be interesting. Let's start off with whom begets who?
/me laughs: can a dwarf give birth to a kran?
Suno you can beat me up on IRC the next time you see me. ::)
-
that must've been one helluva party you guys had this weekend and it makes me wonder if the beer was spiked..
Anyways, if I remember correctly, the gestation period for the races can be found in the library...
if I'm wrong, then i read them somewhere...not sure where.
what about the usual symptoms of pregnancy (normal being human)? do those exist for the races as well?
-
Yes, I already know gestation periods, that's how I came up with 4 monthes. However, there's no book in the library as far as I know saying how many days there are in a month, and how fast time goes compared to real life. For one thing those books would be completely OOC.
-
The idea of a dwarf giving birth to a Kran - you know that if this community was really big and the game was quite widely played etc - then there would (somewhere on the internet) be some really disturbing art work concerning that.
-
Leama I think I'll take my offer on those swings on IRC :P
Anyway, can someone from settings just let people know how the things mentioned in the first post? It'd help a ton...
-
I would like to point out that Kran's are asexual and do not reproduce with anyone but them selfs.
-
There was a thread about this earlier. Since Yliakum time is hard to calculate, they agreed to just let the players choose on their own based on the gestation periods. So, just make an educated guess.
-
Works for me :D
-
Suno when Raa says educated guess... you don't have the right kind of education to make such an educated guess... so you better let someone else help you there..
/me giggles and ducks
-
Don't make me abduct Mahesh again ;)
-
Actually since time stands still until version 1.0 comes out ... girls getting knocked up could be in that state for quite some years to go. :P
-
Don't make me abduct Mahesh again ;)
*Kieve falls out of his chair laughing*
Suno, have I told you lately how horrible you are? :lol:
-

Suno, have I told you lately how horrible you are? :lol:
Yes I think so. :P

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
-
That would suck. ::| Question: Why is everyone getting pregnant?
-
Is everyone getting pregnant? Where do all the kids go then? Haven't encountered many I must say.
-
Garile, the kids haven't been born yet :o (Kaerli, thankfully, hasn't gotten pregnant yet)
-
That would suck. ::| Question: Why is everyone getting pregnant?
Because you have a bunch of teens playing this game.
-
/me just sits here laughing Suno
Shall I say, I told you so? Make sure no one mentions how they got 'knocked up'
So we are talking of gestation. How about labor? How long does that take?
Izzabella was it a hard birth to that large creature?
I cannot wait to see what happens next. Entertain me please.
-
/me is getting slightly freaked out.
._.
-
Leama it's becoming this way because you brought it up xD
/me whips out the duct tape.
-
I am just having a little fun here Suno.
Am I the first to go off topic?
/me says take the duct tape off please Suno.
-

LMAO ........... Continues to LAMO ....... *Breaths* .... Goes back to LMAO .... *Breaths enough to say ....
Other than that I have no comment on this thread yet. Just seeing where it goes.
Goes back to LMAO ........

Get on IRC :P
-
See I even made Zorbels laugh. Suno you have to catch me on IRC, that is if you can.
Back to labor, how long does it take? Or should I ask how long does it take to get 'knocked up first'?
/me smiles sweetly. You would not hurt a cute little dwarf like me, Suno would you?
-
/me thinks female dwarves look like shaved male dwarves
Of course not!
-
So then someone tell an innocent like little how it is done.
(I just had to Suno, I just had to)
/me runs from the duck tape
-
Ok, guys... Sort of losing track of the conversation here. Not to be a GM, but the thread has a point, and it's not flirting and inside jokes. If you're done discussing the topic, move along.
-
Wait this isn't IRC!? I could have sworn .......
(Leama I actually was laughing at Phinehas' comment :P)
-
I am just having a little fun Phinehas. Lighten up.
-
Now I feel badly that no one has responded to this thread. Come on people answer Suno's question.
-
I Think his original question was answered long ago.
To Garlie: you should look around for Mahesh then ;) he's a young diaboli trouble maker
As far as role playing the birth, thats really up to each individual player, I've heard of some that are like "ow" "pop" "oh look a baby!" and others that acutely role play out the hard core labor. Mine was somewhere in between and was rather entertaining. we were all laughing our butts off OOC'ly and I was totally embarrassed because people just kept showing up. What was supposed to happen with like 3 char,(mine, the father's, and the delver's) ended up with a whole lot more! I did end up making them make a group for semi-private reasons. I do have logs if anyone wants a laugh ;) Lets just summarize a few points, Drunk and still drinking father,( don't think I could count how many mugs he chugged in the first part ;) ) passed out menki, lots of shouting, and funny comments. So really its up to you how you want it to be to a certain degree, but remember when role-playing with other people you can never assume what their character is going to do or say, and so you have to be flexible and just go with it.
Here are a few tid bits just for you to smile at:
(20:09:36) Nyarimius looks at everyone "Don't just stand there...we need hot water and cloth...and some liquor"
(20:09:45) Orgonwukh tells group: Liquor, yes!
(20:09:47) Orgonwukh runs
(20:09:51) Izzabella winces and cluchess her stomach moaning out in pain
(20:09:55) Ikakio runs into the wall knocking himself out...
(20:09:56) Noriin chuckles at Orgonwukh "Bring some cider!"
(20:10:00) >Ikakio Ramanysh takes a seat.
(20:10:01) Nyarimius tells group: Not for you to drink Orgon
(20:10:11) Velh grins slightly
(20:10:26) Orgonwukh shouts: Hot liquor, red water and a cloth, Allelia. Fast!
(20:10:31) Casewen sighs and turns to Nyarimius "How much hot water you need baby?"
(20:26:39) Izzabella reaches for Orgonwukh hand as she holds her breath again
(20:26:53) Orgonwukh closes his eyes at her grip and hold his breath, too
(20:27:38) Izzabella exhales slowly and inhales again sharply
(20:27:52) Orgonwukh continues holding his breath and looks paler
(20:28:12) Casewen pats Orgonwukh's back, "Breath man..."
(20:28:13) Nyarimius looks at Orgonwukh "Orgon you breathe I don't want you passing out"
(20:28:25) Velh frowns slightly "Maybe Orgonwukh himself could need a glass of water .. or so.."
(20:28:32) Orgonwukh screws his eyes and faints
(20:28:38) Izzabella takes a bunch of short breaths exhaling quickly making a "he he he he he" sound
(20:28:45) Casewen jumps to catch Orgonwukh
(20:28:51) Izzabella goes a bit pale "is he okay? Orgonwukh !?"
20:42:12) Nyarimius stretches the cloth out and looks at Izzabella "Everything is fine...I can see his head...push a little more Izzy ...deep breath and bare down really hard""
(20:42:31) Orgonwukh's eyes widen at the sight, then he pukes into the mug on the ground
(20:42:38) Izzabella nods and takes a deep breath and pushes screaming out
(20:42:43) Izzabella shouts: Arhhhhhhhhhh
(20:43:07) Izzabella holds onto Orgonwukh's hand firmly
(20:43:36) Orgonwukh wipes his mouth and smiles at Izzabella, avoiding to look closer

I recall many years ago the RP of the birth of Cerrolim the blind Daughter of Celorrim, and then later Shauri's twins... hmm. They were pretty much the whole hog of RP.
It is really up to the individual to decide how they feel towards such RP.
-
I would like to point out that Kran's are asexual and do not reproduce with anyone but them selfs.
i'm not certain but i don't think thats accurate otherwise there wouldn't be two genders available for krans last i checked they just have a unique way of reproduction so they can't reproduce with anyone else.
btw i'm not new i just can't recall my previous log in or username... well i'm new in the game mostly cause i haven't been on this game in... idk a year or two maybe
-
They are asexual, the fact that you can choose male/female and same with parents is simply a bug ;)
-
Kran reproduce through a process called Gemmation. Basically it is taking a small part of their body, putting it into the ground somewhere and having it grow into a new Kran. There are books that explain a bit more about this process in game but you don't need the usual guy and girl. A single Kran can reproduce on it's own if it wants to.
-
Ok then thats... weird
-
There's a very interesting book in the library if you really want to know about this and other facts regarding the differences between Yliaki races. Do some reading people! :detective:
