Ok so I was looking at the family tree's posted by Growly Beast and Naunet have made, whilst both make sense to a point there are issues with them as a whole when you look at both of them together and I think a little restructuring of current families might be needed as well as one person to try and keep it all in line. at least to a point. Â And before we start RPing it. Â Not all the family groups are going to work exactly as they are from an inbreeding stand point and then there is population explosion to deal with. Â
A small group of us thought of one potential answer to keeping the population in check. Â The tribe limits the amount of children to 1-2 per female and splits when she can give birth by a number of years, for example 12 years. Â Now while this might have some repercussions to peoples stories I don't think its a major problem that should be met with a brick wall. Â Â
Think of it like this;
One Nunh has 10 mates, each mate has 2 kids, that's 20 children to that Nunh.
we have 2 Nunh per generation already in the tribe so that's 40 children a generation, Â even with some loss from accidental death and disease that's still a huge increase, if you didn't want to decimate an area you would have to travel a hell of a lot, and in the desert it would not take that long till there was nothing left. Â
If a tribe brings new males from other tribes in to challenge the current Nunh then the inbreeding stops. Â The New males could even adopt the K when they become part of the tribe.
As I said its one potential fix to the problem, sorting this out is going to require a little work but as long as we are all pulling in the same direction we can get it done.
