Garrulous Glaahk Gondor2222 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Anybody else think about this? You can just waltz in to the any random high-up shaper council member's office with a pair of ur-drakons/drayks/eyebeasts and they dont give a ----? I mean, seriously! They dont care that we have some of the strongest Barred creations following us around? They must be really really lazy -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Yes, it's odd. It's odd in a lot of ways, though. You can lead your happy band of drayks and drakons into Shaper strongholds, where they are illegal, or into rebel strongholds, where you are effectively showing yourself to be a heartless slaver who ignores the rights of sapient creations. The only decent handwave, and it's a big one, is to rely on the difference between temporary and permanent creations and say that since yours are the former they don't actually have real minds of their own or independence and thus don't bother anyone. —Alorael, who doesn't like that explanation much. The better one is that nobody argues with a man followed around by drakons unless it's really, really important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I go with this is war so it's allowed even by Shapers that would like to absorb your essence for violating the laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Perhaps the Shapers imagine that you have successfully dominated some rebel creations, and the rebels imagine that some rather dull-witted creations have decided to serve you voluntarily. Or at any rate they give you the benefit of the doubt since, as has been mentioned, you have six Drakons behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I actually do like Alorael's explanations (both). It does seem that you're creations are temporary, seeing as how many permanent creations are created either via shaping platforms or vats. And who wants to argue with an enraged drakon?

Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 shaping platforms are just used because they are easier to clean. It says so in one of the geneforges. But people probably don't care because like many people have said, would u mess with some one with those kind of creation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're Barred, which means they cannot be used for any of the reasons listed somewhere in G1, which SPECIFICALLY includes creating for scientific research. In fact, even Rawal doesn't have the authority to create Barred creations, that's why he keeps it all secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk ĐªгŦĦ Єяŋϊε Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 the spire is even funnier, where if you kill the guards in one turn nobody notices you even though you are leaving a bloody trail of bodies all over the place you'd think someone would notice something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
