Kikiri!

[Rabalder]

What about getting only Cocking experience for killing it?  ..maybe that's the main idea?
It's like killing a fish on land. It's not something you do to get fighting skills, it's a food ting?!

..by the way, when do they lay eggs?

Hello!

The experience is for catching the Kikiri and not for killing it. It trains your reflexes (ask Rocky!), so it should give you some experience. I really doubt that Enkidukai would cook a Kikiri before eating it.

..by the way, when do they lay eggs?

Hmmm, eggs, delicious. Ok, I want my daily Kikiri and eggs for the dessert.

With kind regards

the only problem i have with the whole normalcy aspect is ....

ive been told hte whole time ive been on this game that the real world normalcy is to be strictly avoided...

it jsut seems a little confusing...

dont get me wrong..i think the kikiri is absolutely adorable

butttttttttttttttt already we have jokes like kentucky fried kikiri...now imagine all the noobs going around shouting about hte "chicken"
mmmm

and in a village ruled by cat people

it jsut confuses me thats all. i know planeshift exists in another world and time and blah blah blah etc but seriously, if it exists in a different time and place then why does it matter so darn much whether we have a few resemblences to earth on the game...its not like the "characters" will know any better because to them earth doesnt even exist.

maybe im still butthurt about having my name taken away....but its sjut an opinion

It would be nice if you could buy bread crumbs from Jomed and then feed them to the Kikiri. Then an egg would spawn or go to your inventory and now you have an egg.

If it looks like a chicken, walks like a chicken, and sounds like a chicken, then why go through the bother of coming up with an 'exotic' sounding name. Call it a chicken. Save your creative names for the six-legged turtles.

As for killing them, should you be able to kill them? Realistically, yes. But consider the other side of reality. What kind of disturbed moron goes around killing chickens randomly? Well, that would be the kind of morons more than half of the people playing the game would become at the first sight of the bird. Game mentality: If it moves, kill it. Reason IC? No good one. it is the same reason you can't kill Harn, or he would have been dead the first day.

Me.

Initially there was the novelty of it. There were a few people hunting chickens when they were introduced. There could be the cooking angle. Roast chook makes for a very nice meal. As for experience you would have to be desperate. When they were killable you would have been looking at 34 birds to one PP.

Zelda had cuccos It's not a big deal. Nitpicky UTM.

[miadon]

yeah and if you attack cuccos too long they all group together and attack you.

[Karyuu]

What does that have to do with this..? :]

[miadon]

nothing of real significance, I cant imagine kikiris ganging up and attacking me

[Under the moon]

Actually, Karyuu, I was thinking of Zelda and the coccos and lonlons as I was typing that. You know what my brothers and I called them? Chickens and cows. It seemed silly to try to rename something that was obviously ment to be a chicken or a cow.

When someone looks at a rat ingame, the first thing they think is 'rat', even if it had no label. The first thing I thought when I saw the screen of the kiki was 'chicken'. When I saw an Ulber, the first thing I thought was... what is that? You can call it whatever you like, but you can not change the thought patterns of reconition that go on in the brain at the sight of something that is obviously something known and has been seen before. People will -always- see a chicken, and think 'chicken'. Typing Kikiki is just unnessarily overriding the word 'chicken' the comes on first impulse.

"have you seen the Kikis in the game yet?"

"The what?"

"You know, the chickens..."

[miadon]

I suppose one could argue its the name of the breed of chicken..

Me and other Enkidukai. But I would not call it random killing but killing to survive. The Kikiri would be the natural prey for the Enkidukai. And if you look for random killings ask the players why they do kill the mercenaries or rogues so often.

As for the name it could be Enkien for chicken. I really like the name.

and sounds like a chicken

It sounds like a chicken? Well, I suppose its distinctive cry might sound like a rooster's crow...

Believe me, I'm on board with mundane and real-world. But it looks like that if we do have more mundane-style animals they won't bear more real-world names. Sorry, you'll just have to make that switch in your brain.

Yes, "kikiri" surely sounds more like the rooster's crow. But why not name a race after the crow of its leader? The sound of a chicken would be more like "boahgbog". Yeah, let's call them Boahgbogs.
