[i][color="#2e8b57"]*ignores TTL* as should the rest you Things are RP'd into existance....ask Shem how he got his Dreamcatcher, or how Mya got her wedding rings or Awii on how he became the "rooted philosopher" The garden is not something out of the ordinary and is perfectly realistic . Kudos to Rumi for starting it[/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"] [/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"] [/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"]If we are creating a 7 level garden, and the location is the Meeting of the R oads - we should consider the climate that is MD. Perpetual sunlight, occasional rainfall and snow in Christmas. Our plants should have some form of function and the nature of the trees need to be taken into consideration e.g. Pine trees do very well in northern hemisphere, but where I am from they are a threat to the indigenous forest. Why? because it is their nature to send their roots deep into the ground and suck up water, which is a very very precious commodity here and their ability to grow wherever and so quickly chokes out the natural flora. Pine Trees on themselves are not bad trees, but in the right./wrong location they can be helpful or a hindrance.[/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"] [/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"]My suggestion is to decide what we want our garden to do. How will it benefit our community?[/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"] [/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"]If we can answer that, it will make plant selection rather easy. [/color][/i]

[color="#2E8B57"][i]Before we put in plants in the garden, can we consider the environement in which they grow? Different plants require different climates. Venus Fly traps will not survive in the savannah. The Aloe wont do well in a perpetually wet forest - it will rot and die. In otherwords we cant have venus fly traps and Aloes in the same place.[/i][/color]

[i][color="#2e8b57"]Listen. You are all going about what is good RP and what isnt. Why doesnt anyone just do it instead of arguing about it. Yes there are rules when it comes to RPing. Any noob with half a brain can figure that out. You dont God - mod as windy and Esmeralda said. You play with other characters so that at the end of the day you can have fun. Thats what its about. BUT what I have noticed in MD there are two types of people: those that love to RP and those that stomp on RP with semantics. blah blah blah you cant do this, because you dont have that. Its bull-shyte. You wanna play in game, then play. Create a role, and play that role!! dont be perfect - flaws make characters interesting. Base it on yourself or one some one you want to be. [/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"] [/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"]I remember when I arrived RP was everywhere, in the pub, in the park, outside willows shop, at Maple Road, outside the howling gates, in the paper cabin. We played games like truth or dare and dressed up on Halloween. We played detective with dead bodies and discovered things about ourselves and others. People interacted with each other. That was the magic in magicduel. Now its Egoduel - one ego fighting each other.[/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"] [/color][/i] [i][color="#2e8b57"]I love to RP. I love to slip into another character, but all these semantics and dogmas make it miserable, and you wonder why the magic is lost. [/color][/i]
