Is there a Rough time period?

[Parallo]

Hmm... seven-hundred and fifty, maybe?

Oh so now you do think it's the dark ages, just because Garris said so

[Parallo]

No actually. Thats the only year you can choose to be born in in character creation.

I wish I'd thought of that when I was trying to argue that the Dark Ages is the closest comparison...

[Parallo]

Even if you had of it's not a good argument.

[emeraldfool]

Better than yours. You can only do so much in 750 years, and I'd imagine Yliakum might even have had a few set backs with crazy uber-powerful wizards nuking the gaff, and pterosaurs going on rampages...

[Parallo]

But we have glyphs and the rate of advancment with those is immesurable.

The rate of hindrance of that advancement due to glyphs would probably make it even out.
Sure, you can build some cool machine, but you can also call down a meteor to destroy it.


But you're right. There's no comparing Yliakum to Earth. For the fourth time, I'm not contending that.

But you can't deny there are parallels between Yliakum and Earth, and those relate a lot to Earth's Dark Ages.

[Parallo]

But more so to the Earth's Enlightenment period.

[Atomica]

I don't get this. Ya say "It's stupid to compare the two", but then you do it anyway. Does that make you both stupid? ^_^

[Parallo]

I didn't say its stupid to compare them. It is stupid, however, to compare by time rather than by culture.

[Atomica]

But more so to the Earth's Enlightenment period.

I'd just assumed that was a comparison to Earth's Enlightment Period, early eighteenth century...

[Parallo]

Aye, the culture of the time. Not the year.

[Atomica]

Aye, the culture of the time. Not the year.

Aww, you said 'aye'. That's cute...


Anyway, Harnquist seems like a dark age man to me. In fact, I don't really see any similarities to the eighteenth century's culture...

[Parallo]

Everyone is literate, we have nice technology, people are less intolerant than in the middle-ages, we have organizations dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, etc. etc.
