  1. Cen would be higher than Ban, so yeah, it -is- alphabetical, just no U or X titles. Aye, updated to reflect this.
  2. Well, I screenshoted it as well, but for the intention of putting it up here
  3. FoGUVoTc63s One of my favourites. But he's not all depressive aZc2VUQ05w4
  4. You kind of are supposed to care? It's there to help build a connection between you and your character, to make them more relatable.
  5. X5JaXoy_5Ic My song of choice when trying to show what its like to live with depression.
  6. All Lalafell confirmed as either Evil Geniuses or airheads 3.0
  7. It what I do! Nako has a mask that allows him to take the form of another person of a similar mass. It's what made him a very good spy. However, its primarily a backstory thing, given he has given up the spywork. I have made use of it recently, cause I wanted a slight change, so to make trading and information gathering in Ishgard easier he has changed into an Elezen. However, it also has certain knockon effects to RP beyond just being a shapechange.
  8. If you get the ritual to summon avoidsent into a deceaaed woman to create a succubus wrong, aparently you instead get a cthuloid horror...
  9. Yes, I was going to expand upon it later on, its pretty similar to standard Roman practice. It seems that the Garlean empire is based on the Republic of Rome, post Marian Reform, with some bits based on the Roman Empire
  10. I foolishly forgot to take a screenshot, but in Azys Lla, in the Alpha Quadrant there are Clockwork Engineers and Paladins. They are part of a quest which is getting you to test a citizenship compliance program, which is unsatisfactory because you beat the devices... The Allagans were some pretty ruthless peoples. Edit - Shhhh Kage, you saw nothing....
  11. As mentioned in the 3.0 Spoiler discussion thread, the Library has books which feature lists of Garlean titles. I managed to grab some screenshots, so here we go, along with general translations): The rise of the Garlean Empire in the year 1522 of the Sixth Astral Era led to significant changes in the structure of Garlean society (Similar to the Marian reforms of the Roman Legions). This is most evident in the adoption of titles which serve to indicate an individuals place within the social hierarchy. The following information was compiled with the aid of informants within the empire and has yet to be verified: Royalty: Zos - The Emperor Yae - Member of the royal family in the line of succession Wir - Member of the royal family with no claim to the throne Military: Van - Legatus (General) Tol - Tribunus laticlavius (Officer between Legatus and Centurion, highest of the 6 Tribunes in a legion) or Tribunus militum (no direct translation beyond a Tribune in a legion, guesses as between the rest of the Tribunus angustiglavius and the Tribunus laticlavius) Sas - Tribunus angusticlavius (other 4 Tribunes in a legion) or Praefectus castrorum (Camp prefect, most senior officer after Legatus and Tribunes) Rem - Primus pilus (Senior centurion) of Pilus prior (second most senior centurion) Quo - Primi Ordines (Centurions of the first cohort) or Centurion (Commander of around 80 men (senior centurions commanded Cohorts)) Pyr - Optio (Executive officer chosen by his Centurion), Tesserarius (Watch commander - head of night guards), or Decurion (Cavalry officer in charge of a squardon (could also be meant to cover Decanus) Oen - Duplicarius (Someone receiving double pay) or Legionarius (Legionary) Specialists: Nan - Chief engineer or engineer Mal - Primus medicus or senior magitek technician Lux - Chief medicus or magitek technician Kir - Senior medicus or senior technician Jen - Medicus or technician Public Officials: Iyl - Dictator (Head magistrate) or Princeps senatus (first member of the Senate) Het - Consul (Highest elected office), Praetor (commander of an army, or elected magistrate), Tribunus plebis (Voice of the basic citizenship within the senate), Aedilis (Assistants to the Tribunus plebis) or Quaestor (state financial supervisor and auditor) Goe - Censor (Magistrate maintaining census, supervising public morality and certain finances) Fae - Unknown Eir - Unknown Dus - Lictor (Bodyguard to public officials) General Populus Cen - Respected artisans Ban - Majority of citizens Aan - peoples of annexed territories lacking basic citizens rights* *Many Garleans view this as an opportunity rather than a condemnation, as citizenship may be granted to those who have demonstrated exceptional skills, as well as those who have contributed twenty or more years of military service. Decided to aid the military minded Garleans with some info on the Marian Legions (Which is the closest model to the in game Garlean Legions given the titles).
  12. Sorry for the misunderstanding of my post. The spell is risky because you can easily lose yourself in the lofestream. And as they stated the longer you stay in it, the higher the risk of your personal aether unraveling. Hence why I said she left part of herself behind.
  13. Or a Lalafell brought up in the traditional goblin manner!
  14. you also have one that reduces damage by 20% every for 5 seconds every 12.5 seconds. and another that increases def by 20% Paladins have 5 (6 if we cross class into Warrior). We also have Shield Oath which is a flat 20% reduction, but that's cause mitigation is our shtick. So having more than you is understandable.
  15. No, I remember that one it was more a play on that High Society even today frowns upon pretty much everything.
  16. I don't actually tend to drink much, so someone recomend something that fits this bill? Harsh initial taste with a sweet/warm aftertaste. recomendations? I was thinking Port.
  17. I thought it was because of the class issue and they weren't married. When you talk to the noblewoman when delivering wine, she states 'with a Hyur no less' or something along those lines. Cross Racial stuff is frowned upon in High Society don't you know!
  18. If you're refering to myself, I was simply responding to the claimes RE: discrimination, on the grounds provided by Hammersmith. he used the Straight White Male as an example. I don't believe that he was implying that there were not other groups that hold the power elsewhere int he world, but the one he was dealing with and using was that common to America and certain European nations.
  19. 1)Racially motivated isn't institutionalized racism. A black guy can say "Fuck this white guy" and do something. However when the day comes in court, the overwhelming body of evidence points towards Whitey having the advantage. Much less if the police show up for...anything...in any situation. Like I said: You can personally discriminate against white people but when push will come to shove, the law, the country, and the powers that be overwhelmingly favour white people. The harm is not coming against White people any more than it always has. What we experience is classified as NORMAL since we've held the power for so long and so tightly. Which means as long as anyone else is not getting the same, at all times? They're the ones being discriminated against. The fact that any action against white people is seen as 'rare' really just highlights the point, especially given recent events. 2) This is called rape and it's wrong across the board and really shouldn't be part of the discussion? Unless you want to get into the actual numbers about sexual violence in which case it's overwhelmingly against women and especially other groups like trans in terms of victims to population size. White males get hurt, yes. White males are not leading the race because they're not the overwhelming target. If you want to dig a little deeper the idea that a man can't get raped pulls from the hyper macho institutions we've built up in there. We're hurting ourselves with the definitions we've helped define. 3) I think the points raised in 1 and 2 address this as well. Hell. I'm hard pressed to think of a "Gender motivated" attack against men. It demonstrates a point of just how much power Men have. We find the idea of there being a group or any institution that would target us for violence to be...laughable. It isn't there. It isn't institutionalised racism, no, but it is still discrimination. 2 was a typo and was meant to say sexuality, rather than sexually. The point is, that all of these are discriminatory attacks. To state that you cannot discriminate against them is patently false. It may not be institutionalised, but it doesn't mean that it cannot happen. I have seen friends been jeered at and yelled at for attempting to strike up a conversation with a group of women. His motives weren't sexual, nor did he approach in an intimidating manner. He simply wanted to make some new friends. Also, as was stated before, Discriminatory doesn't mean violent. nether does attack.
  20. May I ask, if you cannot discriminate against a group that holds all of the power, what then do you call the following? Racially motivated attacks against white people? Sexually motivated attacks against Straight people? Gender motivated attacks against men? while they may be rare, they do happen, and they are discrimination. However, I agree with your statement regarding never being able to truly feel and understand a form of discrimination if you have not experienced it, that doesn't mean that people can't relate due to being discriminated against in another manner.
  21. but yeah, remember that although the guy in the TbC was dark skinned, his relatives (the famed asthestician and brother, are light skinned) (iirc they are from house Dzemael.)
