Am curious if there's a list of these medals/citations, or at least the major ones. I think that such citations would be individualized. The Loroi are the sort that would much rather gift a custom greeting card rather than buying one off a rack. The two obvious general classifications of such citat...

I had never heard of the "Florida Man" meme prior to it being mentioned in this thread, so I'm not well qualifed to comment on that specifically. I think that in general, trying to attach alien humor to specific modern internet memes would be perhaps... uninspired. The sorts of stereotypes applied t...

I have played Balatro a bit.

Can Loroi catch a sunburn? If so, what color does their skin turn from it? Yes. In humans, burns and other rashes are reddish because the blood supply is increased near the surface of the skin, so it follows that sunburn in Loroi would be bluish. Same goes for any other similar phenomenon, such as ...

The Loroi as a group have very little interest in what the other races get up to.

Social mores aside, humans walking into an alien restaurant can't even assume that the local food will be safe to consume, much less that any alien drugs would have the expected effect on humans. If humans become regular customers, then presumably entrepeneurial alien restauranteurs will offer menus...

Evil. *While you're translating, do Loroi have a concept of good and evil? Or was that introduced by, oh say, the Barsam? ronnot - malign, hostile lilared - wrong, improper Loroi culture believes in good and evil in the sense of right and wrong, and that people can act out of a sense of benevolence...

My point is that there are many animals, including very closely related ones such as chimpanzees and gorillas, with powerful musculatures that do not exercise much as part of their daily routine. They mostly lie around all day, and when they're active, they're usually not running after prey or doing...

Heh, I'm reasonably certain it's a non-evolutionary outcome of a modern, sedentary lifestyle (ie, we didn't evolve to become more flexible, technology allows us to become weaker). Physiological changes that dramatic usually don't happen in just a few generations, so the human musculature most likel...

Pub or bar

A tavern or restaurant is a lozanir. Such places generally do not serve intoxicating substances, as taking drugs in public is not considered socially acceptable. Those places that do provide drugs would be more illicit like opium dens.

The fully upright, squared shoulder stance of ancient humans is surely an adaptation to the open savanna by an already bipedal creature. If Troodon evolved for a forested environment, then one need only postulate that one branch survived the extinction event and found itself in more open terrain. T...

Yeah, it wouldn't have been T.Rex, but perhaps one of the smaller theropods. I think that tool-using intelligence is the path of the generalist scrounger, not the apex predator.

The obvious advantage of bipedalism is that it frees your forelimbs to become dedicated manipulators. But my point is that theropods were already bipedal; their forelimbs were already completely specialized and not used for locomotion. In some cases (T.Rex) they were becoming almost vestigial. So th...

One of the first rules of (realistic) creature design has to be: long downward-hanging tails and upright bipedal stance don't go together. The whole point of a long tail in a biped is to counterbalance a forward-leaning body. A creature that developed humanlike upright stance would rapidly lose the ...

I don't really think of Gal Gadot as being especially muscular. Maybe a better example is Gina Carano, and yes, a Loroi female could get that big. I do wonder whether the ability to "bodybuild" (to use weightlifting to build for mass rather than strength) is a uniquely human quirk, or whether other ...

I have noticed lately that the forums log me out regularly, and that I get an HTTP 500 error after making a post. Are others having these issues, or is it just me?

Is it particularly difficult for Loroi in general to put on noticeable amounts of muscle? Not gigachad swole type, but more Laura Croft or Wonder Woman style of athleticism. They are noticeably stronger, but not to a ridiculous degree like how most comic books portray heroes. Loroi don't bulk up th...

Where might some of these enclaves and reserves be on Mestirot? On undesirable land (deserts, swamplands, steep mountainranges,...). Well, that's true, but I think that's inevitable; traditionalist societies, especially nomadic ones, tend to live at the fringes of civilization by their very nature,...

Do any of the sister worlds have reserves or for primitive Loroi, like the reserves for nomadic tribes or aboriginals on Earth? There are a variety of such traditionalist societies, and they would have a range of different practices and legal situations (such as the difference between a hunter-gath...

what is Loroi television and movies like? do they have romantic movies or something similar? Or is something movies and television something that Loroi have done away with entirely as a more primitive form of entertainment. The Loroi don't have a media culture like we do. For their arts and enterta...
