      @SpaceKhomeini I usually choose the latter, but I’m always joining games as a singleton and then finding that the people I make friends with and want to play with most are in the wrong faction, so I become a terrible turncoat and get my ass bitten that way instead.

        Horrified that in this day and current world climate, a game would implement “every character is infertile and the priests have control over granting fertility by giving you a magic fruit to eat” approach to what I presume is a problem that could be easily solved by “both parties need to OOCly consent to a pregnancy”.

        Like, there is so much ICK behind the idea of that level of control over reproductive rights.

                @mangosplitz I could see that as like… the reason for what happens ICly for a ‘only babies with OOC consent’ policy.

                But if that is all that’s written down, there’s at least two flaws in their logic tree that I, a dumb tuba player, can think of.

                      don’t be dumb, roz, priests are incorruptible forces of all that is good and moral.

                      everybody knows that.

                        how long does the fruit last to give you fertility? do you have to like, take it and then somehow time your ovulation as well? or do you not ovulate as a woman in this? are you just perma-fertile after eating the fruit?

                        honestly, i don’t see the big deal about ovulation. but honestly i have so many more questions than the policy answered.

                              On the one hand, wondering if it’s an April 1 gag.

                              On the other hand, really hoping it’s an April 1 gag.

                              The amount of time I spent searching various public game wikis for pregnancy fruit this morning is…non-zero.

                              I want something else to get me through this

                                clearly you insert the fruit and the coitus must occur through it

                                    Sadly, I don’t think it’s a gag. Was posted over the weekend.

                                    https://concordiamu.aresmush.com/wiki/society:ferility_children

                                    "Laypeople are not permitted to grow the Evenplum tree, ensuring that the clergy maintains strict control over the fruit’s availability and distribution.

                                    That said, it is very likely that many Untamed tribes have access to or have their very own trees."

                                    I guess the “savages” can do what they want, and have unregulated population control?

                                        Genuine question: is it the idea that only priests control the magic fruit that is objectionable? Or the idea of people being infertile without it?

                                        Like, if it were a case that people were in some weird time distortion dimension that an environmental effect makes it hard to procreate, but there is a widely available plant that guarantees success when the potential parents take it, would that also be objectionable?

                                        I personally prefer not having to worry about pregnancy and all that shit in my RP. Not saying concordia’s idea is a good one, just no way do I want to have to worry about it.

                                          @Cobalt For me, it’s the idea of priests (or anyone) having reproductive control over someone else.

                                            it’s just a lot. IME when you need to legislate something for OOC/game reasons, it’s best to use a light hand. And when people start to try to logic around it, you can just say 'please handwave this, we just don’t want to deal with it".

                                            Going super in depth about it does the opposite - it invites people to try to point out plot holes or contrivances, and then you are dealing with dealing with the thing you didn’t want to deal with.
