What exactly are we getting out of letting this Kiel…….ugh……. human halving OUR waypoint prices? What kind of deal did she actually strike with the Arcane Council? We better see some kind of compensation for this.

I assume it’s related to the research into the Thaumanova reactor.

However, I’m still uncertain how making this research public to the bookahs is a good idea. Well, they probably wouldn’t be able to understand any of it anyway.

Rather than asking if it’s a good idea to involve bookahs, you should ask whether you’d rather risk them or your own epidermis in potentially dangerous otherwordly explorations.

I for one say we send the bookahs.

And risk allowing the glory of an astounding breakthrough in Thaumechanics be made by a lesser mind?! NEVER!

*cough*cough*

That simply isn’t the Asura way. Where would we be if we weren’t willing to throw away our lives for scientific research? Dead at that hands… err… pincers… whatever… of the Destroyers. That’s where!

Still Keil is the wrong choice for the Asura. We should have been backing Evon, as I did, to learn more about the former human gods. Who knows what new theories and paradigms we might have unlocked by simply being in their presence for five minutes? Shortsighted of the Arcane Council, as always. Fools, the whole lot.

What’s this a typical Asura actually afraid of those they believe are inferior to themselves actually discovering before them. This is a change I thought you lot followed Gadd’s belief “Bookahs willing to take the risk are cheaper.” Although I’m suspecting you not a typical Asura as you couldn’t identify the limbsof the destroyers as such. Also didn’t many of us die anyways at the limbs of the destroyers because they were much too proud to ask for help? I think the only way to defeat the Elder Dragons is by combining all of our strengths and not idly believe our Golems can handle the threat alone.

Still Keil is the wrong choice for the Asura. We should have been backing Evon, as I did, to learn more about the former human gods. Who knows what new theories and paradigms we might have unlocked by simply being in their presence for five minutes? Shortsighted of the Arcane Council, as always. Fools, the whole lot.

I’m sorry your choice was the incorrect choice but please refrain from idle boasting of your false superiority. Each and every Asura thought about the problem and decided on their own course. I believed Evon was a poor choice for myself to back as I do not use the functions of his companies as often as perhaps you or others. I use the waypoints more often and decided that even if it just for four weeks the lower prices would be beneficial to me. Also Seeing how we have some here claiming the reactor’s explosion was result of the bookahs, which is clearly false as anyone with even a passing knowledge in the field of Chaotic Magics would know non-asura matter has no effect on chaotic magical energy flow, when the official report says Inquest did unauthorized experiments in the reactor.

I say it is more important to learn what exactly occurred within the reactor so we may prevent further mishaps. The human gods are nothing special. If you had done even the slightest research you would see that they are nothing more than constructs of solidified magical energy. This is probably why they have been silent since the Elder Dragons first awakened. Out of all of us they would be the ideal prey for the Elder Dragons.

Now that I think about it I’m starting to theorize that you are perhaps not really an Asura. Any typical Asura would never said we could learn anything from the Humans ‘“gods”. Even back in the time when we first came to the surface we found little to no value in the Humans’ “gods” or the Norns’ “spirits”. Now if Evon had said he would fund research into the Mursaat or perhaps the Titans themselves I might of been swayed to support him. These two races would definitely advance our technology, even if it just from observing how they utilized magic in their time.

I would not fear that. The likelihood approaches zero.

Actually, Kerrsh did extensive research on the subject of human deities hundreds of years ago, though I’ve been unable to find his results.

Still, gods are nothing new. While studying one myself would have been interesting, that reactor explosion was never sufficiently explained.

Don’t turn this into a factal discussion. I want some interesting ideas for why we lowered Way Point Prices for this Kiel girl so the devs might work it into something cause as it stands just saying a fractal for research on the reactor isn’t good enough since it has already been explained that fractals are not true past events but only potentials.

Approaches, but never reaches. The derived equations for probability show that there will never be a statistical chance of 0. Are you willing to risk our secrets in the hands of bookah? I’m not. If the fools on the Arcane Council are willing to put our most advanced secrets in the hands of bookah, then I believe it’s time to consider alternative governance.

Did we lower them?

Knowing the arcane council they are charging the same amount as always and Kiel is paying the “missing” part of the price tag from her own pockets, or if the bookah is a smart negotiator it could be part of the fractal deal.

On top of that, the reduced price is likely to result in an increased amount of waypoint traffic, resulting in a greater amount of total income despite the reduced price.

Despite being a bunch of close minded senile fools, the arcane council did play its cards well. They are seen as generous, yet they end up increasing their profits. I’m starting to see a pattern here..

It’s hardly relevant considering the bookahs are constantly monitored anyway. If they find something interesting, we’ll know about it, and we have the best means of utilizing whatever it is they find.

The council knows what it’s doing when it comes to manipulating bookahs, it’s the recent actions of arcane eye and the fact the council is both stubborn and corrupt that we should be worried about.

Your assumptions are false and only serve to show your narrow mindedness. The other races have an creative potential not normally seen in our own kind. The majority of us are too busy trying to out do one another or to innovate a existing technology or ideal. The Charr have demonstrated a creativity we seem to lack, albeit one geared towards warfare. We had the magitechnological means to create airships but we didn’t think of creating such, the Charr saw an opportunity. Their caution has also proven to be based in facts, such as their concern with the reactor. Most of us simply right off disasters such as that as mere mishaps.

I theorize that if we would cast aside our egos and actually work alongside the other races, our technology would be far superior to anything seen on Tyria. While our magitech might seem far superior to the Charr’s steam technology or the humans clockwork technology it has its limitations just like they do. By combining the three into one we eliminate the weaknesses of them and form an even stronger technology.

Excuse me, but are you really suggesting a bookah dabbling in something it doesn’t understand learning our most advanced theorethical models faster than the asura keeping an eye on it? If the krewe utilizing them really is that incompotent they deserve to lose the great discovery to a bookah

It’s like overloading a flux capacitor – there’s the possibility of an explosion, but do it right, and the power output is multiplied.
