User blog:Cuddles Epic/DNR No.2 - Being realistic and going too far.

Look, it is something we have all faced. Being realistic. Mostly, we'll strive to put realistic traits and ablities into our characters and shun those who don't.

Some thins, we simply can not recognize, such as....Small, idle movements we do on a day to day basis. (No, not beard-scratching. Perhaps swaying back in forth while standing, etc.) They were too small, insignificant, and often don't contrubute to anything.

Though, what of the things people SHOULD RP out, but completely ignore it. A good example is... Every kingdom that has ever existed? Though they don't have people RP'ing out lumberjacking, mining, fishing, etc. People tend not to take into account the fact that their area does have a limited supply of lumber, food, and ores.

My example, is the over-used, giant-ass warship. Don't worry, I'm not targetting anyone. I've seen this multiple times, as I'm sure you have. Most oftenly, they are blown way out of proportion and realistically couldn't float. Even past that fact, how did it get built? Are there ANY trees left?! 700 feet long?! DUDE! CALM DOWN!

And, I've seen these on a few in the past months... Steam engines on boats. Yes, this hd been done before. Yes, this realistically could be done.

Realistic

-Small boat (20 ft wide, 90 ft long.)

-1, MAYBE 2 steam engines.

-Two cannons.

-12 man crew.

Explanation: Well, it may or may not sink. It is quite heavy.

World 42

-A normal sized boat. (150ft wide, 800 ft long)

-40 large steam engines

-150 man crew.

-200 cannons in all. 3 floors.

Explanation: lol. um... air magiks?

Also, this isn't just about boats.

Anyway, the fun part.

YOUR OPINION! :D

What do you think we should make more realistic? What should we focus more on to make this possible? Do you like how World 42 is handling this right now?
