We could not possibly accept the other races into our collegiate institutions.
They would just simply not understand, or at worst destroy themselves in the process.
If that were to happen where am I to get proper test sub…er I mean assistants?
If you looking for test subjects just snatch some of the inquest and the Elder Dragon champions and minions they keep for pets. It would actually give them a particular purpose.
The Norn are too enamored with their “spirits” and would wreck labs with their physical transformations. Though I will pause to admit it would be hilarious to use them as mascots for the next Golem tournament.
That reminds me we really need to find a way to monetize the Golem Tournament to the other races. I feel it has great potential to be a sport all races can enjoy. On a serious note I do believe the Norn who venerate this ‘raven’ spirit might actually prove to be deceptively capable. From how I understand their beliefs those who venerate this spirit value cunning and intelligence to solve problems over brute strength.
The Sylvari would be interesting, but I factor that our experimentations on one of their own could backfire on us diplomatically somehow. I just don’t feel comfortable bringing them closer into our facilities.
Didn’t Snaff’s first apprentice already do such experiments, and he’s the leader of the Inquest. As for their capabilities in being members of our colleges. I say they have the highest potential simply due to the fact they are like newborn children in adult bodies. Their minds haven’t yet crystallize as in the case of adult charr, humans, and norn. Combined with their eagerness to learn, I say they make the best assistants. But then again I consider assistant someone I don’t have to fear accidentally killing themselves because they didn’t heed my warnings.
The Charr could be a possible candidate, but they are too close minded with their hierarchical thinking of the Legions first and their warbands. Yes it is quite similar to our krewes and colleges. There are differences; where we simply have the courtesy to sabotage each other and politically decimate our rivals the Charr have teeth, claws, and little self restraint in killing things in their way. Krewe/Warband rivalries would not end well mark my predictions.
I agree the rivalries wouldn’t end well however it might actually help the arrogant fools amongst our people to learn the value of humility. Also I don’t see Charr too concern with playing in our politics, probably due to the frivolous nature of our politics. Although I am concern how we will keep the Flame Legion from infiltrating our colleges, from what was seen with their ‘alliance’ with the dredge I don’t want to know what they will do to our golem schematics.
That leaves the humans, silly bookahs. Though I do enjoy their silly antics as they beg their “gods” for help, I cannot see us elevating them to a level above the hylek really.
Their guilds and wars really did damage their mental capacity. It was only the near extinction of their race that helped them focus and even then they still deal with internal fights.
Unfortunately I have to agree that humanity’s need to fight over the slightest reason makes them more barbaric and savage than even the Charr. However what is your opinion on the Hylek being elevated to our level within the near future? Their alchemical knowledge would be beneficial to us.
Ask yourselves this question: Do you really want to give them the potential of our tech in their hands? Only trained Asuran krewes should operate such items. They are too childish at the moment.
No more childish than many Asura, I say.
Oh sure their watchknight experiment is interesting, but they don’t even have the proper ethereal security measures in place to prevent them from being hijacked!
Not to mention the lack of a fail safe in case of such an event.
I’m the Asura Elementalist that stole all your cookies, well except the oatmeal ones.
Chaos always finds a way, who you think Evil learned it from?
