Why do people always have to assume it's more than one wife and not more than one husband? Honestly.

I'd totally approve of it if Aesyra could have several husbands and/or wives. Then MAYBE I could continue the family -mutters angrily-.

There's a term for male-to-multple wives and one for female-to-mutiple husbands. They're really similar.

Polygamy is a man having more than one wife and polyandry is a woman having multiple husbands.

as chances are high she'd just respawn to a random location in the middle of sex.

Because family trees aren't enough of a convoluted mess. I think we'd need a client with three-dimension capability to properly list everyone's half-cousuncles.


I lol'd but I agree with single parent adoption being a bad idea without it being on a case by case basis.
2 reasons:

One of my characters in Achaea (where I came from before loving Lusternia) was adopted(bloodlined) by a single person who went inactive. Now his side of the family was decent but no woman would take the character on as a bloodlined son because I had a bloodline father she didn't know...it was lame.

Also because of single parent adoption everyone in Achaea is related if you trace the trees around far enough...

Yeah Bhiele, you are a girl who stands in the way of women's rights. Maybe you should put some shoes on, take birth control, and buy some takeout instead of slaving over that stove.

wrong

polygyny = man with multiple wife
polyandry = woman with multiple men
polyamory = intimatly loving multiple people equally for long periods of time, with or without contract
polygamy = collective term for all forms of multiple marriages (contracts) at the same time, plus serial monogamy

I could see Bael marrying a chicken. We could do this whole Haitian Vodun inspired ceremony for it. I apologize if your delicate sensibility was offended at my use of the word chick. It's fairly common amongst the people I talk to daily, and I never supposed it was so archaic that it must be commented upon. sad.gif

I am the demonic misongynist that still does not exercise her right to vote unless my man allows me to wear shoes and be released from frying up chicken and waffles. Women's rights be darned. murphy.gif

I'm as bad as Bael -- I need to work on -one- wife before setting my sights to multiple cry.gif

But still. Concubines!

I can't marry a chicken.

One day I'm going to be starving at the Ravenwood and I'm too lazy to run to my shop to get some food. Bye bye wife :farewell:

And Arilyon's not around to trickster me food either.

Edit: Also, I use the word 'chick' a lot to refer to young women. I'll try not to do it if it offends people though.

I doubt most mind and understand the slang that it's become.
