Questions! - 1dolphins - 2/between/

[PastMember]

*and I have come back to plague the question forum! :twisted: *

Ok two questions

 :?: 1.In regards to dolphins and dolphineers, do they speak? (the dolphins I mean) I'm aware they do in the novels (dolphins of Pern) but was wondering the rules and or regs on speaking dolphins with in posts or co-posts at Triad.


 :?: 2.What are the rules about jumping /between/ times?

[Avery]

1.) Yes they do.

2.) Don't do it. Period.

(Slightly exaggerating here, but generally, it's rarely known and almost never used, except for extreme crises.)

Also, in regards to jumping /between/ times: in our timeline, only goldriders, bronzeriders and a few key ranking weyr staff even know that it is possible. It has been done on rare occasions on purpose, but the non-ranking browns, blues and greens can only do it by mistake.

Any plotline with ANYONE going /between/ times has to be approved by the Council, and it has to be well thought out and deal with all the consequences. ;)

Thanks all!

I must say I love it how people assume that I have a storyline about jumping /between/ times, or makes it sound like i would have one *lol* sadly I don't, maybe I'll have to come up with something  :twisted: poor Az'uka *evil laugh*

In regards to #1, The dolphins speak simple sentences.  This does _not_ mean they are stupid.  For example, when giving a weather report a dolphin would say; "Bad, long bad bad storm coming."  not "There is a hurricane approaching.  There will be two days of gale force winds and rough seas, take cover and don't let the fishing fleet out."  Part of being a dolphineer is learning what the dolphins mean when they talk.   Everyone at the DH does a pretty good job with writing the dolphins so you might want to check out some of the previous posts there for ideas.   :D

Ah hence the basis of my Question 1 I have a dolphineer charcter (Jenasie), I've just never used her...yet.


I'm currently working on some co-post with her, feel free to join in! :D
