Just for the record I DO know what astrology is. I just stated that I really didn't know what country it would belong to.

Seeing as you stated yourself, Dylan, that you don't know exactly what to do about astrology or what it is, I suggest you not be the one to look over its workings and effects (just some common sense). I say that there could be a sect of astrologers that predict the future and what not but not having it precisely user-based. What I'm thinking is that a character (or a few) could have a knowledge of astrology and its workings and use that ability for major plotline twists. For example, we'll say that Shussei is planning a major strike against Lucia, but Lucia buys the confidence of an astrologer and is told when and where that attack will occur. The Lucian people would then either prevent it or set a trap for the Shussei at said time and place. I don't much like the idea of people being able to change the course of events by use of astrology at a whim, but using it for major storyline events would make sense. I don't much like that idea either, since that'd be practically Godmodding Storylines, and since we can already tell Shussei would never use Astrology since they're tech-based, then that would give Lucia and possibly Bremelia an unfair advantage. And also remember that Auroth as strictly noted that the abilty to change serious events is EXTREMELY difficult, and therefore it can be assumed that only storyline events would bring this. Other than that, it really is just another unique method of power. And I'm not exactly sure "keeping an eye on it" would help much Dylan. However, I think the best idea would be to "assign" Astrology to the Southern Umberlands. After all, they are the farmer people, and it is common history that those who lived in such communities held Astrology and other similar arts in high regard. That way none of us get particular preference toward it. |

It's good. Unless it starts controlling other people's movements.

Just so we're clear, no one is going to be saying what Shussei is up to except for me. And, if anyone says they knew about something I was going to do before-hand through astrology or any pyschic type actions, I'm not goin to accept that.
No lazy shortcuts to advance, or remove, major storylines. If you can read my brain, I can have a device to calculate your brain waves and find a pattern, deciding what you were goin to do.
So in short, GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!

Sorry Leon...
But I really just don't like the idea for godmodding purposes. I think it is too much a risk.
Short, but a little mroe serious. Just for you.
