There is a point, because there's a standard to uphold on the rationale behind these sorts of things occurring. Just because RP in the past occurred unmonitored and unregulated doesn't excuse it continuing to happen. An explanation could be devised for past children but I won't sit easily with it continuing to.

I for one hate the "it's been allowed in the past" precedent because former iterations of the team have had much more irrational and slackened standards about how the laws of the world we RP in function. It's already something that'll be brought into discussion when voting happens, regardless, so if the writers of the lore are adamant about keeping it that way it'll be taken into consideration accordingly.

But fertility like that isn't something you can just 'install' into a fake body or artificial descendant. Every other comparable 'endgame' cannot have children. Keepers are actually VERY similar in that their body is made by a deific figure like an Aengul but they're infertile themselves for this reason. The miraculous gift of having children and allowing a soul to be born from nothing isn't something easily replicated.

Here I am again, back to debate the semantics of our mineman reproductive biology, unfortunately. Magically conceived children, the sorcery of the Aspects or whoever popping new souls and babies out of nowhere, is just about out of the question-- so with that being said, if Soul Tree users are made of wood, where's their """"sap"""" coming from, so to speak?

The bounty has been completed!... For now.

Is this actually what you get yourself up to?

"Daddy gives me his rosies."

This is cool. Write something for it.

Why am I the most prolific recruit the LT has seen in two decades?

It is a curse that affects physiology regardless of its magical origin-- this is the same for all the races. Orcs and dwarves get their own physical compulsions (much like the effect addictions have on the body). However, elves are unique in that their curse affects something directly related to the physiology of their sexes. You can't simply just say "magic", we have to hold ourselves to the same standard we do for our other magics in detailing their effects. In order to rationalize the idea of "infertility", do I need to bring everyone to Elven Sex Ed? I can break out the diagrams and charts if you all want. Maybe even get the druids to make me something I can demonstrate putting a sheepskin condom on. I think we can agree LadyRebecca made it clear: the males have impotent sperm and the females have problems biologically producing the babies that often, most likely because of their eggs. For the laymen or others who don't want to read: Men: Sometimes your sauce just isn't boss. Females: Don't get knocked down if you can't get knocked up.

Note: Your poll is misleading. The concrete issue being presented is that the "Once Every 15 Years" rule doesn't apply to males as it does females. The infertility is a curse that strikes both genders, but manifests itself in different corporeal ways. You should change your poll.

As Ski said. If you'd really like, I bet we could get into unneeded biological detail and explanations. Maybe we could throw ovulation cycles into the mix. But I don't think anyone really wants that. And let's both be honest, if a male elf is going around bending over and knocking up piles of women, the fertility lore isn't really the problem at hand.

Accepted. We all have our rough weeks, but the rules were clear. However, I'm glad you learned your lesson. Unbanned.

these changes will hopefully have longevity, my brother

Your daily reminder the lot of you are throwing "ebig roasts :DDDDDDD" at one another over Minecraft Roleplay. Keep the feedback on-topic and discard the ad hominem remarks, you don't look any cooler for mocking the persona someone chooses to display in the world of minemen.
