Can Enkis sit on chairs?

[Myriel]

I just wondered...because I think it would be quite uncomfortable for them to sit on their tails
I came to two possible solutions:
1) Enkidukai chairs have some kind of hole or slit in the back, so that there is room for the tail,
OR
2) They don't use chairs at all, instead they sit on furs and pillows around very low tables like people do in some real cultures, too(that would also be easier to realize with the current game mechanics as you can't sit on chairs yet )
What do you think?

[Karyuu]

Having a tail doesn't prevent them from sitting down like people do. The tail isn't coming out from their butts - tailbones sit higher, and this doesn't interfere at all with them positioning themselves on a chair.

Why would they need to sit on their tails? They could just curl it up towards their back.

[Valfaran]

Exactly. Have you ever seen a cat sit? If anything, I would imagine the Enkidukai would want to sit a little forward in the chair just to make room for their tail to drape over the side.

Hello!

I think that Enkidukai don't use chairs much but prefer sitting on the ground. It is said that Enkidukai maintain their wild nature and this is one part of it, at least for me. If they would use chairs it would be a kind of stool and not a chair with a backrest.

@Myriel: Set your rump on a firm ground. Now start leaning backwards. At the point where it starts to hurt, that's how Enkidukai would have to sit for their tails to pose any problem ;)

@Kaityra: They may maintain their wild nature, but that doesn't mean they're birdbrains :P
They'll prefer hunting and wilderness over highly manners and great cities, but if you actually find one in a tavern, he won't sit on ground when there's a free chair right next to him ;)

Pardon? Are Japanese or any other Asians birdbrains? Yet they sit on the ground more occasionally than the European...
No, it has nothing to do with not being able to produce such a thing as a chair. It has something to do with tradition and heritage.
And if you have read my comment you would have noticed that I have written "not much" and "kind of stool". Myriel is right, the tail is an issue although not a big one. An Enkidukai could sit on a chair with a closed backrest sideways for example.

When Asians come to Europe and visit a place that has specifically chairs, they sit on chairs.
If European goes to a place displaying a typical Asian culture, he will sit on ground (provided the place is designed like that).

Likewise if Enkidukai goes to a tavern with chairs, he will sit on a chair.

Otherwise, yes, they are birdbrains.

[Myriel]

Ok, you're right, of course they can sit on chairs, I exaggerated a bit  ...I just imagine that it would be a little uncomfortable. So I thought, it would be logical if there was another kind of chair or pillows on the ground or something in Ojaveda, as it's a city where mostly Enkidukai live...besides I think that that would be a nice detail as each race has a different culture and...well, that would make it more visible. The houses already look different, that's great

Well of course chairs won't be Enkidukai's item of choice... they're too bulky for the nomadic people :S

Slightly  Why does the Ojaveda tavern have chairs, while most of the tents where enkidukai live have pillows for sitting on? It'd be different to have pillows in the tavern with everyone relaxing.

Hmmm, maybe only visitors go to the tavern while the Enkidukai enjoy the hospitality of their friends in one of the tents? Well, I guess the explanation is more simple: The tables and chairs should give you the feeling to be in a tavern.
But I second the suggestion to have carpets and pillows for us Enkidukai in the tavern.

I believe I did write anything else. As in, explanation to the above statement; context you decided to cut out.
You said Enkidukai would prefer to sit on ground. I say they would sit on chairs if those are available. But they will use other items when traveling, for the simple reason chairs are too bulky to transport.

Brado doesn't need pillows. He doesn't transport his tavern all around the Dome.

i always looked at the tavern chairs and just said to myself "if i had a tail, i would kill the person who designed these" Irick oftain just sits on the floor when he is alone. if he is with friends or someone who expects otherwise of him, he mans up and sits on the misshapen blocks of wood. though the innitial question was "can" i think you really mean "would", and then it is really a matter of personal choice.
