moonshineTheleocat Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Would it be possible to add a new race to the list? Giraffes seem to be a pretty popular non-canon race. It could be interesting to see them show up in Chronicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickLime Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Where are they popular? this is the first I've heard them as being a race of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCedar Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I've seen some fan art, though, not huge quantities compared to any other noncanon race. I wouldn't be adverse to the idea, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshineTheleocat Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Where are they popular? this is the first I've heard them as being a race of interest.They were a thing for some time on DA, and furaffinity, reddit, and derpiboru. I'm not sure if they still are, but I should have probably said "were a popular race". I can't confirm that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianblackberry Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Personally I think it is an idea worth considering, have to converse with the rest of staff though to see what they think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Here's the slippery slope: we allow X new race, and now players will want Y and Z other races too since they're either similar or because we allowed X race in the first place.. Whenever we allow something new (not just a race), I will ask all players to consider: 1. Does the new race keep with the flavor and theme of a FiM-based roleplay?2. Would a race like this appear in actual story canon?3. Will it interfere or disrupt the roleplay for others?4. Will it interfere or disrupt existing, established canon? Chronicles was originally designed to grab whatever didn't "fit" in World of Equestria. It was made for those that wanted a structured RP environment above something like FFA. It's a tricky thing to define and keep consistent since we're basing the roleplay environment on a cartoon. It's an ongoing challenge to figure out what it is, and how far we want to take it before we're in FFA territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickLime Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Honestly I think Giraffe's could fit, being possibly from Unyasi They were also a toy in the original MLP franchiseHere's a show style giraffe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
