Thread: Rewrite and Expansion of The Seams
Post: RE: Rewrite and Expansion of The Seams
Also the NoCoZo grants their citizens as many freedoms as any other Sephirotic. I’ve honestly never once been able to understand all the criticisms of the NoCoZo, all Sephirotics have post scarcity au... |

Thread: Rewrite and Expansion of The Seams
Post: RE: Rewrite and Expansion of The Seams
I was brainstorming on the discord to effectively turn the Seams into a sort of non-aligned zone that is majority modosophont-ruled. Currently in the setting it’s very transapient-centric, and so show... |

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Post: RE: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Synanotech feels like an antiquated term to me as well. I’d personally be okay removing it entirely (or just making it into a historical term). |

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Post: RE: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Macrystis’ system is going to have multiple polities under Caretaker Gods protection that operate exclusively as xenoprovolves, so I’d like the term to persist even if it’s just a sub-category. |

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Post: RE: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
I don’t have a ton of preferences, though on the current Sophonts meta-article xenosophonts of all types are in their own section. We don’t have to keep it that way but it might make sense for it to s... |

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology

Sorry for the double post but I forgot to mention that I also favor splice over rianth as a class. Conceptually rianths make sense to 21st Century readers since we don’t have any physical transhumanis... |

I think the above looks great, Liam! The extremophile group (I think they’d be a class under your system) is one I think may be relevant to add, and it can potentially apply to hylomorphs as well for ... |

Thread: Updates to Old Clade Terminology

Just popped in to say a couple minor things:
1) I’m particularly drawn to the ideas Todd and Liam put forward here. Rheomorphs being a completely different phenomenon than clades allows us to “hav... |

Thread: Rewrite and Expansion of The Seams

Luckily the actual Seams article is not that long so I can get to work tweaking it for a draft this weekend. I have no idea how to format correctly for the article or data panel but I’m sure there’s r... |

Post: RE: Updates to Old Clade Terminology
Just occurred to me also if this is the case then identifying which clades definitely should be removed/worked in as sub-clades in existing articles may be important. Also I had a suggestion for sopho... |

Thread: Rewrite and Expansion of The Seams
Post: Rewrite and Expansion of The Seams
Hello all,
I’ve been considering for a while now that The Seams do not fit with the ideologies that the Sephirotics espouse at all, and that this polity should be updated to better reflect that dis... |
