After Seeing All The Angry Discourse On The Cultural Meaning Behind Cin Vhetin, I Sheepishly Admit I

After seeing all the angry discourse on the cultural meaning behind cin vhetin, i sheepishly admit I assumed it was because white was easiest to paint over, allowing the individual a chance to determine what they value enough to broadcast to everyone.

@north-peach It fits with the practical and surprisingly poetic nature of Mandalorians, yes?

Need to make these without using rancid flour this time…

i think he’s eating the cucumbers? Still. Urban bunny survival life?

Oh, absolutely! And allows for a Mandalorian, after major upheavals in their lives, the option of making that statement. It’s not done very often, because Mandalorians as a whole tend to know their own minds pretty damn well.

For example I’d say anyone fished out of Kry’stad would, after a certain point in the deprogramming process, start wearing white.

Don’t forget when they talk about how dark the woods are, when they’ve explicitly called out the full moon. Like, my friend, that’s incredibly bright light. Even star light is bright some nights.

It's fun reading writers who clearly grew up in suburban/urban environments as someone who grew up on a farm because they're always like "oh it was so creepy, woods at night, eerily breathtaking, something was living in there..." and it's like yeah that'll be the deer.

That’s why you had raid groups in WoW, about forty people, and the big raids sent in multiple raid groups. Sheer, unadulterated chaos is two forty man raid groups going to town in the same raid. It was bad enough in a regular raid, juggling forty people, raid healers were Amazing, a multi group raid? Awful.

TIL prehistoric hunter-gatherer tribes had an average group limit of 50 people. Incidentally, modern research shows that in the video game World of Warcraft, maximum group player cohesiveness occurs at a limit of 50 players.
