Joke apart, okay, that's how your mind works, as I said, it's fine. Just always try to remember that there might be other kind of minds out there. ;)

ah... just because it isn't officially supported dosn't mean it's *against* canon, it just means its an absence of canon, which isn't necessarily the same thing Of course it's not the same thing, I never said that. But absence of canon isn't "headcanon all the way!" either imo. :) Don't get me wrong, as long as there's nothing that says otherwise, you're free to fill in the empty spaces. It's just that it's for your own self only. :)

I don't think it will happen, jagex doesn't really give their characters much in the way of romantic relationships I'm not sure that's necessarily a bad thing. I suppose they're trying to stay neutral, so the story isn't 100% given, but a bit more flexible for all players. (Plus it'd be even more dev input required if they did it, but that's another story. :P ) I personally like it, I wish they had stayed neutral on other things as well (*coughcough* player's backstory *coughcough*)

I don't hate bookworms, I am one, but if everything in their books is wrong... I'm not quite sure what to make of this tbh, but hey, what if everything in their books is not wrong, just different? :)

Oh, I didnt mean I thought it was a bad thing that jagex doesn't realy do the romantic stuff :p
I think it often gets in the way of plot, and whenever it's used it makes platonic relationships seem worth less


I don't like them saying anything about player backstory either, I pretend it never happened :P

Oh, I mean that wahi is supposed to be 'wise' but he's wrong about mah, hes wrong about the muspah, he's probably wrong about the ritual of enervation...
The wise in his name is just put there so he can be an ali and have his ali-name be an anagram of his actual name Carn

It's the other way around. In a recent stream, they seemed frustrated with his real name, so I think they originally did name him Ali the Wise, and then by the time of Curse of Arrav, they had to figure out what an anagram for that would be.

Yeah, he turned out to be wrong but can you really say his conclusions weren't wise?

Here's the text from his memory:

I am not convinced personally the Mother Mah or the Muspah ever existed. Certainly by the time of my birth it had been many thousands of years since a Muspah was supposed to have been seen, and any who made the perilous trek up to the volcano to search for our goddess did not return. The Ritual of Rejuvenation had become an intrinsic part of our culture, one that I believe served more as a tool of political control than of religious purpose. Of course, voicing such progressive thoughts would have been me next in line, so I kept them to myself. While I cannot deny that seismic activity occurs, I am not convinced that it was a necessary component of procreation, nor that the Ritual of Enervation had anything to do with its natural cessation. It had simply become our custom to breed during earthquakes.

Based on the evidence he had available, could you really fault him for the conclusions he drew?

To draw parallels to real life, I doubt many (or any) people believe in the Greek Gods or their mythological monsters anymore despite the many claims of seeing them made back then. Would you really consider people unwise to have doubted those legends if one of those monsters just suddenly showed up?

And given the continuation of the Ritual of Enervation on Gielinor, I'd say he was spot on about it being more politics than religion.

@hguoh
what he's saying comes from a place of logic, yes, I can see that
but... I mean... youre once, that's forgiveable
you're wrong twice, it starts to become a pattern
and if you mention 'rising like a phoenix' three times, no one takes you seriously anymore Carn
