A Yliakum Passtime...
« on: April 29, 2004, 12:37:41 pm »
Consider the following passtime:

A guild would build a bridge which would stretch across the diameter of the first level.

People pay to go to the middle of the bridge and jump off :D

It\'s perfectly safe...They\'ll just land in the waters of the seventh and eight levels, right?

Consider it the \"rollercoaster ride\" of Yliakum, hm?

Nice idea. It may work to go one level lower, like the cliff jumpers. But depending on the height of each level, i dont think the water will any softer zhan concrete. You would have to sell them parachutes too.

Zinder is right. The water will be pretty hard, you might break your neck :P

But why not to be used by Krans? They can swim, and they won\'t drown either.

Can they swim? I\'d thought they\'d sink like...well, rocks.

Well...
According to their page, they can\'t drown, but it doesn\'t say anything about swimming...
So maybe they can swim, and maybe they sink and have to walk out. Either way, it\'s not a problem :P

Their skin is made of silicon so... they could swim.

Not Silicon...They\'re Silicon-based compounds. Big difference. Hydrogen is not water :O

Great idea. Then we could get people to pay us to use the falling people as target practice. :D

Sounds to me like they\'re animated rock. I\'d think Krans would be too dense to swim, they\'d sink, having to walk out :P




[edit] well, they breathe just not with lungs...think they absorb oxygen through their skin or something like that, so the oxygen in water works.[/edit]

Right, I didn\'t remember having read that. True, they would have to walk then, anyway they don\'t care, they don\'t breath.. :p

It would be cool jumping off the bridge into the water, and then slowly walking out of them..... Heh, a Kran walking slowly out of the water, could be a cool scene of a really bad movie :P

Hmm perhaps a bridge would use up too much space...What about a pulley system?

You know, the spider silk picks them up, moves them to the middle, and drops them.

The Sea Elves could even offer some service to \"pick up\" people who have fallen into the sea.

You know, jumping off a bridge is often used as a form of suicide. Dropping 7 layers can\'t be survivable. I think bungee jumping would be more plausible.
