That's probably the worst analogy I ever heard... You can't break someone's rib while giving them CPR without punching it into the ribcage and giving the said person a nasty internal bleeding, and every time you pressed his chest again, you'd just bend the rib (Broken bones are surprisingly sharp) further into that person's internal organs. And you'd be pressing at the right place to punch a broken rib through his heart; people can die from a ruptured spleen, so pressing your hand into a broken rib is a bad idea as pretty much any internal organ you hit will cause the victim to bleed to death. If you have any CPR training at all, you can't break someone's rib (And at any rate, you'd have to apply way too much strength to break a rib).

And you two are just proving my theory that every argument degenerates into a discussion about someone's philosophy/purposes/'correct' RP. Like Aiakon, using real life examples to justify killing or not killing Fae in Lusternia is ineffective, and extremely comic.

Now shut up, and move the argument to another topic.

I used broken rib instead of a broken xiphoid process because most would have no idea what I was talking about. I didn't really want to deviate further into the three divisions of the sternum just to make the point that the damage is often done both by other persons and our body in the healing process. However, breaking a xiphoid process during CPR is quite common.

Forgive me for trying to dumb it down a little bit.

And there have been people who tried to sue because their xiphoid process was process was broken during CPR and it punctured a lung.

Back on topic...

While racial attacks are good, they should be more for roleplay than for anything else. Thus, stylish with minimal damage.

Even if it is possible to be sued for performing CPR, it's not possible to apply that analogy to Lusternia seriously.

It seems to me rather peculiar that although we are winged creatures at least half the size of a dwarf, we either walk everywhere on foot or fly too far above everyone else to be seen or heard.  In ground battle particularly, I find it strange that we can apparently swing to hit an Igasho's head when we probably can only just reach up to their knees.  Not to mention falling down holes... 

I generally think (and judging by the descriptions I read so do others) that surely a faeling generally hovers just above the ground.  Its my understanding that the levels of stance in Lusternia run through prone -> standing -> flying, but why not add another level in there between standing and flying: hovering.  I recall levitation from some of the other IRE games, though thats not exactly what I think would work.  Rather than a defence, make it a level of stance you can take.

Example:

50h, 50m, 50e, 10p ex- HOVER
With a quick flutter of your wings you rise and begin hovering above the ground.
50h, 50m, 50e, 10p eh-
You have recovered balance on all limbs.
50h, 50m, 50e, 10p exh- LAND
You gracefully descend to the ground.
50h, 50m, 50e, 10p ex-

An enchantment could probably do the same thing for those without wings or class flying ability, and a heaviness affliction could drop someone to the ground until cured.  But at least it means we might actually use our wings for practical purposes, rather than just soaring to the clouds.

Thank you for yet again becoming in a conversation where you are not only unwanted, you try to argue as if anyone cares.

No... no.. he's not unwanted. I very much want him here. His contributions are valued, and I care about the argument... I'm not terribly interested in its substance.. I just like to watch you wriggle.

You think I'd miss read the most comic syllable of your name?

That's amusing coming from someone who likely has to read the thread twice to make sure Narsrim and not Narses is being discussed

This doesn't work- his error is when the first and last letters are the same.  

Stop being rude, Narsrim. People make mistakes! We are not perfect!! Besides it makes you look like a horrible person when you nit-pick at something so stupid as someone mistaking Xavius for Xenthos. Just all round stop it, everyone!

No... no.. he's not unwanted. I very much want him here. His contributions are valued, and I care about the argument... I'm not terribly interested in its substance.. I just like to watch wriggle.

The analogy was that the process of saving life often involves some sacrifice. If you would like for me to go through the chemical breakdown of the immune system and how it basically creates an environment that KILLS itself (in a controlled way) to kill unwanted pathogens, I can.

Point in case, to cleanse shadowbound Fae, you have to destroy their physical form and restore it.

I don't care about the argument anymore, Nars. And since you've lowered yourself to being rude, before Aiakon made a humorous comment that is only just barely rude, I guess neither does you.

Wow, the content in your posts just blows my mind.

Most of you people are so terribly ignorant, it pains me.

Furthermore, I am also a Mugwump. Mugwumps have a strong ancestral hatred for Merians.
