Let's play a game: Save the Ancients!

[Lunaxia]

but honestly, I don't think the people arguing for saving the Ancients really needed it, they'd already decided they were letting the modern world die in favor of the perfect pretty people.

When you actually find any evidence demonstrating the existence of these people who have supposedly claimed they want the mortals to die in favour of the Ancients, or literally anywhere their appearance or, uh, "perfection" (I mean, really?) has been shown to play into these arguments, let me know. In the mean time, I'll send you over some straw, you must be running low by now.

On a brighter note, using the 8UC as a basis as to how one might conceivably save the Ancients could actually make for an interesting discussion. The point about how aware the Scions are regarding the ramifications of G'raha's time travel is a good one too. How might they ascertain the existence of the alternate timeline? Could what happened there, combined with Elpis, give them pause to consider time travel as a tool in certain scenarios? Should it, even? And would they be prompted to use it to save the Ancients somewhere down the line? And how? Thinking about it, if they truly wanted to go down that route at some point, that seems like the most viable way to do so.

...though on appraisal, perhaps a discussion for an altogether different thread, where good faith has a chance of being slightly more tangible than the mythical unicorn and the responses somewhat more coherent for not staggering under the attempt to bear the weight of their own perceived self-importance. Still, a fascinating subject, nonetheless.
