Cantr Science

[SumBum]

ALSO: There is no moon, sun, stars or wind in Cantr. Y'all are crazy... sails are under the ship and work on ocean currents.

No moon, no wind... How do you figure there are ocean currents if you say there are none of those other things?

It all comes from the big floating clock.

Geothermal vents. *nods*

Cantrinians just aren't smart enough to know why... so they assume it's magic. O.O

[Caesar]

Right, I think that's what he was getting at but somehow failed to make a note of that...... and I'm not sure why he posted them in here.

Rules like that and many others need be on a main Cantr sign up page, or something.

There's never stated to be ocean currents.

First of all, biology is science. Definition of science is understanding... Which is why I posted it here.

Second, I knew they support each other, just as Doug did when he posted basically the same thing after Caesar did... It's only for clarification.

Well this would makes sense, as the islands aren't shifting... Are they? *raises an eyebrow*

[Dudel]

Glad you clarified that, Snake_byte. Otherwise it just looks like you're being special. Although there isn't much scientific understanding to a rule set by an external source that isn't exactly backed up by the mechanics of the game that said rule applies to.

And wouldn't shifty islands mean tectonic plates? Which would be my geothermal argument, out the window... although with new islands popping, at least in the past, it could still be argued that the ocean has active volcanic events. *winky face, again*

And, Caesar (while I assume you were mostly picking as I was doing the same), almost nothing in Cantr is actually stated. Most is assumed by it's players.

We all know what happens when you assume. You make an ass out of you and me.

Right well, external (OOC), scientific understanding to a rule that isn't exactly backed up by the mechanics of the game, may still lead to a mutual yet still unique RPing strategy for everyone. Which is the main purpose of this thread.

If the statement of volcanic activity existing were true, wouldn't we see it above land as well. As well this would indicate - lava flow under crust - in turn - tectonic plates and ocean currents...
I think that's busted as well.
However! There is an atmosphere as we breath and there is water as well as plants therefore there are clouds. If there are clouds there is wind current created from the vacuum from said clouds and the oceans.
Blah... Mouthfull...

[Caesar]

I think..

*Drums.*

I think it is a matter of belief!
If the characters belief in the winds like humans belief in 'God', there will be wind!

All praise the wind, for..

Blablabla...

(I am sorry, I had quite some argumentation thought out, and then it all slipped my mind again. But I did have to post something.)

You know snake_byte, there is this argument about "What is a planet" and "What is a potato" but I don't really care to try and remember that garbage.

All that is needed to know is that "Like earth" is similar to the word "Human-oid".
