i always get horridly flamed for suggesting this on sites that don't already have it xD but here goes nothin'!

how about a site store? the currency could be shells or something like that, and you could buy jewelry, weapons, armor, pets, etc.

and, because i have to do this on every site i really like, i would like to suggest a way for homosexuals to have offspring :3 not really sure how you'd swing it... but i am dying for a site to actually say yes q.q

so, uh, yeah. post comments, thoughts, opinions, etc.

If everyone else would like the idea of a site store, I'd be totally good to add one. :3 I thought about it in the first place, but wasn't sure whether or not it would work on here. xD

And as far as the second suggestion goes, the site isss based on real life, but I'll think about it. ;]

Store? Did someone say... a store? 8D I am such a sucker for these things :3

Hmm... Well, we do have a tribe with no theology as yet, so... ^^
To be frank, it's probably going to take away from the realism of the site, but I do like the idea. Aside from the tribe's god/s getting involved, though, I don't have any other ideas for how it could work. It would actually be quite a dramatic subplot if one of our lovely gentlemen got pregnant after incurring some tribal wrath.

_{I remember a lovely au animal role-play that got around this really well, though I don't think people being born from sleeping under a magic tree works in this scenario X3}

I like the idea of a site store very much! ^_^ I think it could be an exciting addition to the site.

bear with me here, this may get a bit graphic but i promise it's only to explain my point. i will cut it down as much as i possibly can.

this is in regards to homosexual reproduction, and i will break it into two parts.

part 1. it is known that, if a gay couple (meaning male x male) wished to have a kid they could enlist the help of a willing female and one of the males will impregnate her and they will simply care for the child. however, it is also conceivable that they both could impregnate her by both of them ejaculating inside and the sperm of both males fertilizing an egg. while i don’t believe this can be scientifically proven, it is something that could potentially be possible.

part 2. lesbians seem shit out of luck when it comes to having a kid. they either have to adopt or allow a male to impregnate one of them and live with the fact that the kid is biologically connected to only one of them. now, it is proven fact that females can ejaculate. in theory this ejaculation carries cells that are the same as sperm, and could possibly fertilize an egg. so if a lesbian couple were to... how to put this delicately... scissor, i believe is the term, and the ejaculation from one manages to enter the other’s body (which, the exchange of fluids is possible, i’m a lesbian, i know xD) then it could potentially impregnate her.

i understand that this is stretching it a bit, but neither of these have, at least to my knowledge, been proven false. i suggest them so that you have a way for homosexual couples to have children that can be considered realistic.

the only implications would be that the males would have to realize that the kid would share the mother’s dna as well, and the lesbians would only be able to produce female children (as their chromosomes are xx and there is no y to add into the equation). however, i would gladly embrace that if it meant i could have a child with my wife.

Sounds like a plan, Crow! :D

I guess I can only supply one point about the lesbian method, unfortunately :c From what I understand of biology (namely a year of sex ed and taking my first year of high school biology this year), an ovum has a protective outer layer which must be actively dissolved by the 'head' of a sperm, which contains enzymes designed for that purpose. I don't know if two ova could achieve the same interaction :/


Edit in response to below: Oh, right, yeah, sorry, totally not poking nit-picky holes in an idea that I support DX

[CROW VALKAIRI]

fair point. but, for roleplay purposes, it could be considered a 'realistic' way for homosexuals to have kids. just up to Grey now xD

-pokes Grey-

Haha, I'll think it over fersure, guys. :3
