easy solution to the argument guys
we're on the Bay12 forums remember
nothing is logical
there argument done
game continues as planned
Why does someone trot something like this out whenever we have a debate?
"This is Bay12, we can do anything, so there's no reason to follow any kind of logic or reason, let's just make a random mash of crap."
Well, there's at least one other. Most of us are living on it. So let's have some variation.
None of us exist in the game.
And I never said we'd carbon-copy Earth...just that I wanted a world with logic and reason behind it, not one where even blades of grass need magic to exist.
You say we'd be almost imperceptible... but why? There's no evidence for Gods on Earth yet still billions believe. It is not a stretch to believe that worship will grant us mana, so why would we need to be undetectable? Even if they make requests, we ignore them, and they'll just say 'God works in mysterious ways'.
This goes back to motive. Let's follow your logic train.
Why do we need a world? So we can have worshipers. Why do we need worshipers? So we can get mana. Why do we need mana? To make the world. Nice and circular.
If we didn't make anything, we wouldn't need to make anything. So there obviously has to be some strong reason to make this. "Because we can" is pretty weak, given the time and effort we are putting into it.
Look at this another way. Let's say that you were an automaton with no physical needs. All you had would be paper, pencil, and infinity. You decide to make a collage. Would you simply draw random scribbles and fit them together, or make a proper, detailed, cohesive work of art that you could be proud of?
