I'm certain that RJ based it off of something in real life darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 30/06/2010 10:30:06 PM
There are billions of people on this planet that believe their entire life on earth is only important because there is an afterlife where every need is met and every desire is fulfilled, so I think it is pretty easy to understand how a culture like the Amayar could come to exist.


Jonestown is only one example of mass suicide, there must be many other similar situations throughout history and I would not be surprised if there had been various religions in the past with some kind of prophetic death pact involved!

Nope, still can't agree. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 06:40:25 PM 789 Views
I'm not going to argue that it's a good test Gher - 01/07/2010 08:51:31 PM 749 Views

and those crazy comet people in San Diego in the late 90's too! darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 03:49:59 PM 805 Views
Perhaps. krassos - 30/06/2010 10:23:42 PM 803 Views
IMO that makes them even worse! darius_sedai - 30/06/2010 10:33:03 PM 750 Views
Considering that their system of belief... krassos - 30/06/2010 11:55:12 PM 723 Views
But they could have played a part Singing, just like the Tinkers to which they're related may do *NM* Lordling - 01/07/2010 09:08:46 AM 403 Views
Because their feeble ability to sing to crops would really come in handy. krassos - 01/07/2010 05:43:03 PM 886 Views
There are other SOngs than seed-singing. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 06:26:54 PM 802 Views
Even if there are. They've been lost. And humanity has lost that Talent. krassos - 01/07/2010 10:28:30 PM 661 Views
Only second-hand. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 10:49:58 PM 940 Views
the Tinkers will at least make themselves useful as we saw in the BoEF darius_sedai - 01/07/2010 03:49:08 PM 741 Views
The Tinkers are also on the mainland... krassos - 01/07/2010 05:36:40 PM 653 Views
to be fair, if I were an Amayar I would try to respawn as well *NM* BlackAdder - 01/07/2010 04:29:02 AM 755 Views

Well, yes, but that's only temporary . Fanatic-Templar - 02/07/2010 12:27:07 AM 846 Views
From my perspective, that is meaningless. Fanatic-Templar - 01/07/2010 10:52:22 PM 661 Views
