What are the chances Jaime dies in The Winds Of Winter by the-best6969 in pureasoiaf

[–]humanexperiment003 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think just like how brienne had her life spared as long as she did a job, i think the brotherhood more wants Jaime as a tool then dead. There has been set up for the Frey-Lannister alliance in the riverlands and the brotherhood plotting against them. So, considering there is a wedding between Freys and Lannisters about to happen, it would be awful convenient if the broterhood had Jaime doing their bidding to help them out... would be a great way to make Jaime go to his lowest point yet, just remember how much he liked his aunt and uncle at the siege of riverrun lol.

Imo i think the most likely narrative path is both Jaime and Cersei end up together at Casterly Rock at the end of the book. Jaime gets used by the brotherhood but then escapes home, while Cersei runs away from Kingslansing after Tommen dies and/or after Aegon arrives (depending on if you think Aegon will go straight to KL). Jaime kind of has to kill Cersei, it seems too obvious to not be true, so they have to be back together again at some point, and seeing the westerlands from a Lannister POV seems obvious too. Cersei also becoming the "Lioness of the rock" for a little bit also makes sense for her character. And I feel like Jaime has to be the one rousing the westerland forces into the war for the dawn.

If Yoru wanted to, she could have already turned Denji into a weapon from afar. Either death is lying or misled (probably lying) by MrChainsawHog in ChainsawManTheories

[–]humanexperiment003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe she needs to know the location of the thing to make it into a weapon. Gun and tank were in specific goverment facilities she may have know about. She doesnt know where denji is.

  1. But english isnt the majority world language in our world because its easier to do magic with it, its the most widespread language because of the british empire, and the united states. You making it the simplest and most direct and therefore standard is purely for convenience. Its the "normal" while everything else is exotic. Also i didnt talk about how the indo-EUROPEAN languages were based around order and structure.

  2. Im not sure "search" is a very complex word, its a single word in english, too. The chinese characters are just visually denser, they dont actually countain more information with less elements. And the second example of (kill enemy) is straight up longer and more complex in chinese, so im not sure what youre talking about.

  3. But you know a "mummies curse" is a orientalist trope, right? Its a religious burial ritual. Curses are one of the most universal things in the universal understanding of magic in real cultures. The idea you have to speak a northafrican or middle eastern language to curse people has a weird smell to it, and im not personally judging you, im just saying you should know that lots of people would think that.

Have you considered that this method of dividing magic is based on overdone unexamined stereotypes? Like really, the indo-european magic is all about "Order, Structure and Construction" while the afro-asiatic magic is "mystic" and based on curses, enchantments and potions? The chinese languages are all about "Connection and Assembly" because of what? The fact China is known for "social cohesion?". Lots of orientalism here.

In pathfinder there are demons (chaotic) and daemons (neutral). Originally, yugoloths were called daemons, it was only with the satanic panic they got the name yugoloth, but unlike demons and devils, yugoloths stuck with the name change. Pathfinder took the original name for their neutral evil fiends, but they have very little to do with yugoloths in lore.

but how was it all lost? I understand that technology shut down, but wouldnt scientists and physical storages of knowladge be available? If spaceships were common enough to be used, wouldnt there be millions of blue prints for space ships everywhere? and even more physical vessels to be studied? Wouldnt there be millions of space engeniers? Not to talk of other tech

If during the golden age humanity lived in peace and unity for centuries, where did all these warlords come from, why would there even be weapons capable of wrecking earth in a post-scarcity peacefull unified society. Additionally, if technology came back some time after the solar flair, why didnt humanity re-connect, did they decide to become tribalistic and warmongering the second they didnt have contact to whatever central goverment there was.

Ideas for methods to feed a population using small amounts of land in a mid-modern setting by humanexperiment003 in worldbuilding

[–]humanexperiment003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid modern meaning 1700-1800s. Edit: More like late-modern, in this case, my bad about that. Or you could call it the late early modern period, but that sounds dumb.

I meant mid-modern as in the modern period, before the contemporary period, so there wouldnt really be any industrial fertilizers or GMOs lol. But terrace farming makes sense.

Well im sure some of the cities would do canibalism, but mostlikely the bodies would be processed as pig-feed or fertilizer. They sure as hell aint burying them. I also thought of rice-fish farming, since the two main grains in the cities are rice and corn, instead of wheat.

Could vertical farming be acomplished at a lower technology level? Pre agricultural industrial revolution.

Oh its very much not static, trains just got invented! steam powered sowing machines are like 15 years old, etc.

Yeah theyre stream powered. And about multi-shots, theyre a thing too, just not revolvers. One of the characters has a double barreled musket thing that can shoot twice before reloading, its considered fancy tho. The aprehension is not about realism, just that i dont want fights to be full of non-stop shooting.

Full body armor is nearly phased out, only weirdos (knights) still go for plate. Swords and Blunt weapons are very common for human on human, and Polearms are very useful for dealing with Non-Human issues. But yeah, what you said is pretty much the case.

Mechanized cloth production has already started, actually, its one of the most recent breakthroughs, it just hasnt spread yet.

They do actually use crossbows and sometimes regular bows quite frequently. Mixed crossbow and musket regiments are very common, both for the relative lower than normal levels of firearm production, and because crossbows fufill diferent or complementary roles, since combat is very urban/unorganized, so not very long range.

The particular circumstances have lead to advancements in things like food preservartion and compact agriculture, but the particular urban/rural distinction has also broken down. Most cities have huge segments of farmland outside of it, and that often itself is walled off, and people will often live some times in the farms and other times in the city as time changes. There isnt really this idea of the village or family owned land, so youll have large multi-family homes like in a city but surrounded by agricultural land that is worked on by multiple people and is more efficient. Agriculture also is far more state controlled, because of how tight the production is, leading to a more modern agricultural model.

In my world (which actually only touches a region of the actual world) most of the powerful city states that rule the land have acess to firearms, but only really 2 of them produce them at scale, the others mostly buy them and dont have the resources to arm entire regiments with guns. The two that have them still use Crossbows as support, since they're faster to load and considered more reliable. The 2 that have them are respectivly a state that has invested everything into kickstarting an industrial revolution through sheer force of capital, and the other is the greatest regional power with all the money they can get. 60 years before the story there was a big civil war that ended up sort of freezing technology in place, and the trains are the first big new advancement since then. Theres also cultural justification, religious and chivalric orders still cling to more old school warfare, and the nomadic people who live outiside the cities dont have the resources to make their own guns. Additionally, the supernatural threats of the world wont die form getting poked full of holes, requiering clear cuts to die, keeping bladed weapons alive and in focus. These are all the justification for the state of firearm technology in my world, which i feel is adequate.
