I was thinking about this for some time. Why not let other races into the Asuran collages? I mean, that would help out alot of people in Tyria. Charr might be able to make better war machines, Humans might get MUCH better educations, Sylvari are always eager to learn everything they can, and the Norn could use all the advancement the can get facing the sons of savnir.
The most complicated of things may be easy for Asura, but people can learn. Besides, it would be good for the collages’ business when other races come to learn. They would even be proud to learn from Tyria’s smartest race.
I hardly think it appropriate for the lesser species to be allowed within our prestigious college halls. The subcranial matter of these gargantuan endotherms is further diminished by sheer resource allocation need for powering such lumbering hulks. I’ve seen better IQ results from skritt subjects than I have Norn. Humans are clever but far too juvenile to comprehend the inner workings of the Eternal Alchemy, and I am not entirely convinced yet that Sylvari HAVE brains.
No, no, and no again! You shall not dirty our halls with the collective ineptitude that is the surface dwellers!

I’m a Sylvari engineer. I have been to your collage, and it was nice. I helped out a lot of your people’s problems, plus i drove off a few inquest agents. Plus, at least (I would have to say 50-85% of them) of them were nice, and not total jerks like the one I have seen in the Mabon Market. He really needs to learn some manners.

P.S. Your race is right, we all have our place in the Eternal Alchemy, which is basically your version of the scientific method. By the way, the best way to rid your golem’s of rust is pine juice. Pine Juice can be purchased from the yellow Hylek of Calledon forest near the lab where they are studying Skritt (the one where Soar Goldbeak is).
I highly doubt that you were at our college[s]. If anything, you were under the impression of being at one college by visiting a krewe out in Metrica Province or being at Rata Sum, which is NOT a college. Additionally, the problems you helped solve were able to be solved by Peacemakers, WHO WERE ON THE WAY, ANYWAYS, but the majority of our people are solving larger problems, such as Dragons.
Plus, making anti-rust G.O.L.E.M.s are the standard of this day and age. You’re a tree, so act like one and leaf us in peace..
Ever been to an elemetary school? Exactly! Kids are stupid. Humans kids have trouble with their times table while asuran prodgeny are busy learning about basic principles of metamystics.
Snort! They even have to be taught to speak their own language! /cackle
So do we all, children are not born with the ability to speak. Think before you speak it is unbecoming for an asura to make such foolish statements when they can be so easily proven wrong… Going to guess your not of Statics.
Proff. Glimmn of the College of Synergetics recently published his thesis on ‘The Predetermination of Asuran Linguistics and How it Originates to and from the Cosmos and Asura Themselves’. it really just breaks down to a basic ‘raptor and egg’ theory in which both came first as a result of the natural course of the eternal alchemy and asuran placement within it. typical impractical synergetic muzzleheadedness to be sure, but it does acurately portray asura supremisy in linguistic capability.
Pardon me for reducing the entirety of human education but if I am not mistaken even the humans most learned of scholars is clueless as to how their species learned to speak.

Asura have extensive intelligence but lack wisdom.
To accept other races into their institutes would be wise as more minds and ways of thinking will advance knowledge in every aspect as well as learn new and unorthodox methods to approach problems. But if they were wise and intelligent they would be perfect. Their flaw is their inflated egos, their close-mindedness and lack of wisdom.
I’d expect those wishing to learn more of the Asura teachings join the Durmand Priory as they tend to house the wiser of the Asura race and are filled with open-minded scholars willing to learn and teach.
As for the Raptor and Egg dilemma, the egg clearly came first as the first “pre-Raptor” laid a mutated “Pre-Raptor Egg” which was not a Pre-Raptor Egg, but in fact a Raptor Egg which hatched a Raptor. If you do not count mutations, then you’re saying "what came first, the tree or the tree?

And that’s how our society will fall. We will weaken ourselves to better others? What good will come of that? Tell me, if there were to be a method to incorporate other races in our culture, do you not think it would have been done already?
Hmm. Would it be a raptor egg if a raptor didn’t lay it? My thought is to classify an egg based on where it comes from not what is in it, though I’ve read a Dynamics paper that classified them based on what it would become. Scrambeled, poached, deathbeast from hell, etc. Otherwise i have to put in an order for ‘long chain amino acid and globular protien’ eggs at the market.

Actually, your society will fall due to forgetting dangerous outcomes of your most complicated machinery, like that reactor in the Maguma jungle. If I were you, I would just find another source of energy that is safe (like water, solar, wind, heat, or wave power). Oh, and while your at it, tear down that reactor, it will be the death of Tyria if that thing remains operational. I expect it because it was due to the time warping it has been doing. It has been spawning steam creatures, drakes, and chaos materials, not to mention the occasional veterans and that Son of Savnir corrupted warrior. Therefor, your crews would be completely decimated. That reactor was by far a failed project. I’m sorry, but it has to be dealt with.

Durmand Priory.
And when it comes to magic, wisdom is as important as intelligence especially considering the races of the past had more powerful magical technologies.
I’ve read that paper. An interesting footnote revealed that complex proteins are known to produce orexin in the hypothalamus region leading to a significant increase in synaptic activity. Given that postulations regarding the origin of Raptor Eggs require a great magnitude of mental manipulations, it only makes sense that the complex proteins of Raptor Eggs would fuel such enlightening endeavours. As such, the existence of both Raptors and Raptor Eggs negates any need for the argument.
However, in response to your elementary query about the requirement of Raptors laying Raptor Eggs, it would seem to me that if selective breeding determines the path of evolutionary chains, then it is a constant that what came before is something different from what came after, so the question really is: do Raptor Eggs ever really come from Raptors?

What could POSSIBLY be unsafe about thermonuclear transmutation of magicointertial energy fields?
Those creatures were the result of the constant middling of the inferior species. As soon as Thaumanova became open to the public for tours, things started to go wrong. Everyone knows that contamination owed to the presence of non-Asuran genetic material causes fluctuations in the dynamocrossfermentation fields that regulate the output of thermonuclear magic energy.
Besides, The Peacemakers would have cleaned the mess up just fine, no one ASKED you outsiders to barge in and start killing things willy nilly!

I am in favor of allowing the entrance of other species in our colleges.
My new P.R.O.B.I.N.G. Golem Version 2.4.3b surely could use more experimentation subjects, and I have run tired of the Skritt and their inability to comprehend even the simplest guidances and laws of the Alchemy.
If you can find a non-Asura who can pass the entrance exams, we can talk. And by talk I mean, figure out how they cheated.
Its not like an Asura doesn’t cheat. Though we are far better at covering our tracks then the less intelligent species that is for sure. So we should give them some benefit of the doubt in such cases. Though honestly do you think they could even cheat properly on an entrance exam.
I utterly cannot believe we are even entertaining this rubbish. Surface dwellers in the colleges! Hrmph! Why not let the Skritt and Quaggan form an alliance to hooOoorde some shiiIiinies under the sea.
Preposterous.
I will not accept those adolescent anthromorphs acquiring access to the adept and awesome acumen of Asura academics!

You don’t understand, that reactor has created a tear in the space-time continuum. It is pretty much going to cause a dimensional collapse or a dimensional veil tear. So, either your collage would cease to exist, or you could be overrun by Inquest agents.
The point I was making is that it wasn’t the REACTOR that caused the explosion, it was cultural contamination! Dimensional collapse was never an issue until OUTSIDERS started messing with the Matrix Cube sub-processing interdimensional controls. I’ve seen them! Jumping around the reactor like it is a playground, encouraging young Asura to do the same! Greed and curiosity caused Thaumanova to go critical, not any flaw in Asuran engineering or mathematical magnanimity!
And for the love of balance, it is spelled C-O-L-L-E-G-E
A collage is something human children do to pretend they have multithread attention span capacity and dynamic thought processes.
You and this Leo chap above have alarming tendencies to flaunt Inquest recruiting messages in this thread. I suspect YOU are one of Kudu’s agents!

I am NOT one of the Inquest. Well, not the bad ones, I created an Inquest guild meant to stop the bad inquest from harming others. We were able to sabotage many of their plans in order to keep them out of trouble, we even caught them trying to sabotage the reactor. Look, if you can’t accept the fact that all things have a right to grow…what am I saying? You don’t know the meaning of the Sylvari lesson “All things have a right to grow.” plus, you didn’t even bother questioning me if I was with those Inquest Asura. Look, even Asura needs help as well. By the way, look up the word inquest. It doesn’t mean inquisition. It means judicial inquiry. Look it up on www.dictionary.com.

There is only one kind of Inquest, and they are classified as “not acceptable in society in any way, shape, or form”. So kindly take your wares elsewhere, we don’t need your kind here.

Charr know how to build war machines, Sylvari know how to build friendships, Humans know how to build up societies, and Norn know how to build alliances. All races are equal in skill, but different on using them.

Knowing Asura, they actually turn just one question into a conversation or an argument, which I find interesting. I am actually a great appreciator of your technology, certainly more sophisticated than Charr machinery.

Don’t be most of them are faking it by using big words to confuse your tiny little brain. Oh to be child once more and studying how the dramatic arts can stimulate the pleasure center of your brain… I miss testing how with proper stimulation one could perform even the most difficult monologues with very little experience in the dramatic arts. Shame they made me stop even after I offered an apology… okay so I nearly fried the part of the brain that stores memory in all my test subjects. Okay so the side-effects were insomnia and perhaps sterility they ares till conducting tests… whoops i rambled…
anyways ignore them you could be of great use to me. I always wanted to test out my newest invention its a cranial harness that grants the user the ability to paint the most elegant things by sending electro-magical shocks to the brain to both inspire and stimulate the mind… Your assistance would be most valuable… Oh do your best to ignore my GOLEM.

Now, now… There’s no need for this discussion to devolve into impulsive displays of aggressive posturing. I agree completely that, given my interactions with numerous bookah subjects of varying races, the vast majority of them are ineligible for access to our Colleges on the basis of inadequate mental capacity, but there ARE some exceptions. As proved by Professor Goff’s paper on the intellectual capability of the different races, outliers can be found among every race. I see no reason why these exceptional individuals could not be allowed admission into our Colleges as “subject matter experts” for lectures and perhaps even as teaching assistants. The Eternal Alchemy is a vastly complex pattern, but there is a simplicity to its structure if you look deeply enough. And sometimes, just sometimes, the perspective given by these lesser races can lead to a breakthrough by coming from an angle we hadn’t previously considered.

Therefore, we should use them as test subjects instead of treating them as equals. Their opinions matter not when their results differ as test subjects.
If “subject matter experts” are required to improve curriculum, then there is no better source than the Priory..of which many Asura are members.
It’s leader is Asura!
The colleges are the point you complete your education but the Priory is where you apply that education. There, the races tend to be held as equals or at the very least alternative sources of data for Asura fueled advancements.
Beyond having some of the wisest Asura and many intellects of various races, you have the most pimp Asura leader in Steward Gixx. I mean, look at that portrait…
STOP – I got to jump in here and stop that nonsense. I consider myself to be very liberal when it comes to an inclusive education for all races but unfortunately this can not work.
The biggest problem we are facing is that metamystics is a subject which holds great danger for the untrained mind. Recent tests with (more or less) volunteering test-subjects revealed the whole danger. Members of different races were exposed to low doses of metamystics. While humans even after a short while showed clear signs of fatigue such as yawning, uncontroled eyerolling, giggling and chatting with other testsubjects, Norn were expressing the uncontrolable desire to consume large amounts of alcoholic liquids, Charr were showing clear signs of unprovoced agression such as destroying the furniture or becoming violent towards the staff. Only silvary were showing a clear interest in this subject but unfortunately the damage was even bigger than with the other races…. Yes Erector, I’m looking at you I recognised you as one of my recent testsubjects.
Based on our results we were even able to interpolate the lethal dosis of metamystics for an untrained mind to around 2 hours nonstop lesson. By that time about 99,9% of the testsubjects would have been literally bored to death. So most of the students would not even be able to survive the entry-test.
To avoid this danger we suggest parents of other races who plan to give their children a proper asuran education to start with low doses of hegelian philosophy combined with some abstracts on quantuminequalities as a night lecture for a little child conintously increasing over time.
But for opening our college-doors to all races unfortunately the time has not come yet.
If “subject matter experts” are required to improve curriculum, then there is no better source than the Priory..of which many Asura are members.
It’s leader is Asura!
The colleges are the point you complete your education but the Priory is where you apply that education. There, the races tend to be held as equals or at the very least alternative sources of data for Asura fueled advancements.
Beyond having some of the wisest Asura and many intellects of various races, you have the most pimp Asura leader in Steward Gixx. I mean, look at that portrait…
Quite. As if I didn’t know that already. I was merely distilling information for the bookah since that seems to be the in thing to do, and suggesting to our progressive colleague here that we have AMPLE information on outside races thanks to our involvement in the Priory.
Boundaries are for the effortless.

P.S. Your race is right, we all have our place in the Eternal Alchemy, which is basically your version of the scientific method. By the way, the best way to rid your golem’s of rust is pine juice. Pine Juice can be purchased from the yellow Hylek of Calledon forest near the lab where they are studying Skritt (the one where Soar Goldbeak is).
I can’t believe this discussion continues. What rational being would be so foolish as to provide the other races with the tools and knowledge necessary to build their own gates? Even if there WERE those capable of making it into one of our colleges, it would be remarkably foolish to ALLOW them to join. Reading over these ridiculous utterings, I’m beginning to think maybe you lot were all at the bottom of your class!
Asura are awesome!
