So Waylander, you would argue that the unbound are not sapient/sentient. I am curious now, do you feel this way about any other creations? If so, which ones? -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

I would like to see the Rebellion win the war, just so that the world can finally see the era of chaos we will be led into under their rule. The people will cry out for the return of the Shapers, or, better yet, the rise of the Tullegolites. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

quote:The game often says that the rebels hide in caves so as not to be spotted by creations that fly through the skies. They are probably refering to wingbolts. If I absolutely had to be a worthless creation, I'd probably go with servant mind, one of the minds with Shaftoe. They make creations and put up a fairly good fight. -------------------- You lose.

Yeah, the world is a lot better now that it is engulfed in chaos. Rogues are running around everywhere, the land itself is scorched and wasted. Yeah, things have really been looking up since the Rebellion arrived. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Using a creation to accomplish a goal and then absorbing it. It's what the Rebellion is all about. Wait... what? The Rebellion is supposed to be about treating all creations equally, isn't it? Well, at least the drakons would never do what the Shapers did to them and attempt to genocide a race. Wait, they're planning on doing what to the unbound? -------------------- You lose.

Well, I can't let the Rebellion have all the fun. Here is one for the Shapers, set to the music of "God Save the Queen" of course. All hail out sacred laws, Uphold them one and all. Order prevails. May peace and justice rise, and the Council's all-seeing eyes, Watch us for the rest of time. All hail our laws. Gifts of the great craft see, in every rock and tree. Shaping prevails. Creations roam the land, but by our guiding hand, we may together stand. All hail our laws. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

He's probably assuming it, a reasonable assumtion, I think. If the Barzites created the first ones, they would have noted their resistance to control, destroyed them, and stopped making them. That's probably why the gazers you speak to say only the Takers make them, because even though the Barzites clearly can, they don't anymore. That's also why the Takers are better at making them, because the Barzites gave up on them, probably seeing them as a failure. -------------------- You lose.

I don't understand how you can design something without creating it. What did he do, draw pictures? It seems like creations are made through trial and error. They would make changes, and observe outcomes. I don't think you can just design a creation and then make it happen. -------------------- You lose.

It doesn't have one because it is not a revolution that is oriented around the general population like many of the ones you named. The drakons don't actively seek to get people to revolt against their Shaper overlords, and the people don't generally try to. In fact, since both sides fight mostly with creations, this war involves very few normal people at all, thus no need for an anthem. -------------------- You lose.

One instance that always comes to mind when I question Shaper ethics would be the situation in the Valeya Ruins. Guardian Kantor, despite his mission to undermine the Rebellion, decided to stay and protect the town and it's inhabitants instead. This is one of the most chivalric acts done by anyone in the war. As for the rebel ending, I don't think the Shapers are as much at fault as the Rebellion. The Shapers don't want to release crazy creations at first because they are worried about killing innocents. The drakons do not care, and so the Unbound kill them anyway. I don't think the Shapers were wrong to make mad creations of their own at that point because most of the people they were trying to protect were dead by then anyway. How can you say they are equally at fault? -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

Waylander, in your edits, you are moving from a discussion on species into a political discussion. I found a quote you might be refering to, the gazer South of the city of Rising says "My design was first created by Barzahl. I was perfected and created in the mountains of the Takers." This does not say that the drakons created the first gazer, only the one you are talking to. Although the wording is a bit questionable here, the fact that so many other people say Barzahl created the gazers would still lead me to believe Barzahl made the first one. Edit: In my searches, I also noticed Barzahl created the war-bred serviles. Another point for Barzahl!
