Chill my people. <3
Agree Syl, the first part of your post was fairly rude -- please mind your manners! If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. :3 I did say up-thread that the original thread request post did not need to be edited, but rather that Rose keeps the concepts discussed herein in mind as she actually roleplays with Neo. She might have meant that the thread itself (the posts/order of posts within the thread) was edited, which is correct -- or she might have been referring to the IC thread where Neo is mentioned. Not sure!
But yeah -- when there is something unrealistic in a player's posts or character history or whatever, we will absolutely point it out and discuss it, and it wasn't right to complain about the fact that there's discussion here, either. I mean -- 'Souls is a message board, and this forum specifically is for discussions surrounding RP concepts, realism, yadda yadda. I took that as what Syl meant with the second part of her post rather than a response to you, Rhoni. <3 But as a preemptive warning that goes for everyone: do keep things civil. There's nothing wrong with discussion as long as it remains civil, but if things devolve into nastiness, we'll have to lock and move this thread.
Annnnyway. All of you guys -- your experience with horses is great and this discussion is extremely enlightening! I would, however, like to see some linked sources in addition to your anecdotes and experience. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it would be great to be able to link to additional sources of information rather than just statements and anecdata about taming horses. ^^ That way, if people want to do additional reading beyond what is simply written in the RP guide article, they can check out the sources (much like how you can read on Wikipedia for some basic information, and then use the sources for more research, if you're writing a paper for school or something).
I don't have a whole lot to contribute to the discussion myself, but re: broken leg -- don't they usually put down horses that have a severe break? :x Or, at the very least, if it heals, isn't the leg prone to lameness, arthritis, and other problems? I think it would be a great idea to have a horse maybe injured or incapacitated if it got found like that, but if you mess with it's legs, then I would just worry about the strain of carrying an adult Luperci on an old injury like that. ^^ Most Luperci are a lot bigger and a lot heavier than the average human (let alone a tiny jockey) so I would think that the repeated strain would cause more problems than if there was a human rider. Buuut, like I said, I don't have a ton to contribute anyhow.
Oh, actually -- one thing I do remember! True albinism does not exist in horses. :3
