Celestial Dragon Emperor

@John I added how faeries work. Do I need to add a bit more? (Sorry for so many comments)

@John I didn't want to add how the fearies work because I thought to much backstory would lead to it being labeled off topic

@elemtilas same here. I'm a bit confused why this was closed. At first I didn't have criteria for the answer but I added that.

@elemtilas I understand. I didn't want this question closed so I edited to try and fit the two answers I had already.

@John I don't personally think it's a duplicate because that question is about making cold iron. Mine's about why it harms faeries

@John I'll try and think of some criteria

@elemtilas these monks actively help the communities they live nearby so they'd interact with the peasantry and common folk often.

@elemtilas they don't want recognition or fame for their deeds mainly from people outside their order who they have contact with. Easiest way to do this in their minds is to not have names someone can attribute works too

@Corey I assume the monks would find a way to sort out genuine recruits and people trying to escape justice. Overall the order could allow rogues to hide. Maybe the genuine converts the order would hide away.

@AlexP occitania.online.fr/aqui.comenca.occitania/en-oc.html my bad I just realized Cara means face. I'm reference to their masks. My mistake.

@Alexp it gave multiple options Nom being one of them. I just prefered the sound of cara

@chue x that's why I asked the question, XD I couldn't figure out myself how to distinguish between them without using symbols (past the single symbol they use)

@Alexp I used a occtian dictionary. Means literally "No name"

Might be ethnocentric but isn't the UAE kinda like this? Ridiculously rich minority and then impoverished majority

@Noah you could do what alien isolation did and just pick a city name (Sebastopol) although the name they picked was Ukrainian but it's still Slavic. Personally naming an area after the towns or maybe region your people originally came from would be cool. Although don't slap on "new" on every name, :P

I believe this more of a social then biological issue. From what I've seen female athletes can compete on par with male ones. I will grant you that gene splicing might help even the playing field further.

@abarnet. Thanks for the help btw! Also good to know that the Hegemony shouldn't smell evil overall.

@abarnert is it weird to say both? Like the Hegemony all and all is the good guy in my sci-fi, but since I'm doing post cyber punk I feel that making it slightly authoritarian is the way to go nothing Orwellian or fascist, but enough to ruffle some feathers to have debates in universe, however I've made most of the authoritarian bits either out of necessity or with good intentions. But also I thinking having a clear global language might require someone to stamp their foot down.

@ChrisW that is true. But Mandarin was the language of well the Mandarins imperial officials across China. I think it's that way today with Mandarin being the language of the government, but not the majority of people in China.

in most cases the Hegemony is laid back and rather supporting of local cultures and customs, but a few things like national language they step a little bit into authoritative. In their mind it's due to a clear single language being beneficial across the board. However on the streets of the Hegemony you would have signs in mandarin, people speaking korean, hear Spanish music, etc. Think of it like how mandarin was used in Imperial china: the language of the bureaucracy, but in this case also the language of the education system. Although I'd assume exceptions would be made here and there.

personally when it comes to a global government I don't think requiring one national language to be too repressive. In my mind it would be kinda like the examples you gave so instead of hiring translators and what not to attend school away from their local state they just learn Common.

@Chronocidal I have, but that's a joke and not an actual attempt to simplify spelling. I think slight changes like of to ov (and any other f that sounds like a v), all hard c's changed to k's, and maybe maybe removing a soft X and replacing it with a Z or vice versa ex: xylophone to zylophone or the opposite effect Zebra to Xebra. So a more series and still funny attempt at making English not as crazy

@Ivo the average for the Hegemony is 1 or 2 with some people having more via birth credits

@eyeballfrog let's say it's about 1,000 dollars. Is that really worth uprooting your life? For some people sure, but I assume not the majority.

@eyeballfrog yes but I doubt they would uproot their life just to not pay a small fee for having a third kid.

@Anoplexian oh! Now I feel stupid because that joke went over my head

@user6760? Okay?

@Grandmaster the idea in my head is "last chancers" will work harder then regular people to keep their job especially if only HAL will hire them.

@SZCERZO well unemployment can be limited to certain sectors so the oil fields might be laying off massive numbers of people while say a hydro plant is still hiring. The Hoover Dam was built in the middle of the great depression.

@StephenG I'd argue that you have some low standards for ex-convicts

@SZCZERZO The idea is oil became horribly expensive too use so you have to invest into alternatives like nuclear. Basically the masses would need power due to the fuel and energy crisis.

@L.Dutch. HAL provides power to regular customers as well. They also use hybrid nuclear energy (fusion is slowly being built up by their rival company)

@Shadowzee I never said I didn't train them.... All I said is I recruited from the disenfranchised. I don't really know why you would assume they wouldn't be trained.

@RonJohn in the u.s. you have a few uncompleted dams or areas protected by national parks that could become hydroelectric plants. I think I forgot too mention that a fraction of the workers would stay behind (maybe after they finish a term) while the rest move on too the next construction sight

@StephenG I don't see a problem with hiring ex-convicts. It's more then likely they just made a mistake they regret and now are having trouble getting employed because of it. HAL notices that a: they can be trained for roughly the same cost b: good for PR and c: if HAL is the only company that will hire them.and have a decent salary they'll probably work their ass off

@James because that insinuates that they're not human or somehow lesser by making them into a separate race.

@Gryphon I've been pretty good making a card for my gf's bday mainly.

How has you guys been? Btw later today I'll drop that discord link I finally got around to making it. It's actually a ccustom world (which to me means that the members help build it up from the ground up)

Dang its been a long time guys! I got busy for a few days and have been focusing on a project.

It just looks like they never learned and just asked the same "what would this look like" questions

And then complaints that one of his questions gets closed out of his 55 in total

Asks a question and when they give him a good example he just goes "umm, your an idiot"

What a prick, tbh.

What's his deal?

That last one, ouch

I'll check it out as I await responses on my latest question

Yeah I read it. It was interesting and intriguing enough for me to want to see where it goes

Can have my lightning chucking giants

Awesome

Dang grim reaper whooped those dogs
