Yes, they can.  They just have to grow up first.

That isn't the children being fertile.  It's adults being fertile.

An Eve's children are ALWAYS her children, Spoon.

You don't stop being someone's kid just because you grow up and have kids of your own.

The relationship between parent and offspring doesn't change.

But the individual's maturity status does change.

Also, from Merriam-Webster's:

He was using the word children as in the second definition Merriam-Webster gives

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary wrote:

Do you have any children?

How hard is that to understand?
Is your mother not still the child of your grandmother?

Re: Where roleplaying has gone in OHOL? :(

Child or not child that is here the question!

Can a child be fertile? Can fertile be wood? Can wood be a tree?

Sorry, for the outcome my neural network happen to generate after processing this topic.

Or how my most loved AI from Jasons arsenal would say: How does this help to ... humanity?

Huh?  I *had* more than one grandmother.  My mother is not, and never was, the child of one of my grandmothers.

Also, wondible's comment was:

You want to claim that some people are children, being offspring of their mothers in OHOL, while adults also, and can be fertile then?

But that differs from *any* children being fertile without a homeland.  And it's simply not the case that *any* child, even *any female* child can be fertile in OHOL.  Why?  Because when a player is a child in the sense of definition 1a of Merriam-Webster's in OHOL, they cannot be fertile... with or without a homeland.

Re: Where roleplaying has gone in OHOL? :(

Can anyone truly be fertile in OHOL? 

According to the dictionary:

fer·tile
/ˈfərdl/

1. "producing or capable of producing abundant vegetation or crops"

1. I'm talking about your mothers mother obviously not the other one. "Oh he must mean my fathers mother" - Spoonwood.
2. Any children CAN BE (Has the capability of being) fertile without a homeland. No one thinks five year olds can give birth, we all know how the game & the real world works Spoonwood.
3. The issue we have is when you refuse to acknowledge that Wondible and Destiny used the word children as the second definition.

Male children can't be fertile.  Children under the age of maturity can't be fertile.  Thus, it's not the case that an arbitrarily selected child can be fertile without a homeland.

Any female child is capable of being fertile. Female children under the age of maturity are capable of being fertile.

I'm not so sure that they are all capable under all circumstances of living until adulthood.

Capable. Not every female will be fertile. Every female has the potential to be fertile. If she dies that's on her.
Also, infertility is irrelevant because Jason didn't add it to the game. In case that was your next argument

Re: Where roleplaying has gone in OHOL? :(

Why are you even fighting this fight, Spoonwood?    It is completely pointless.    Wondible was not claiming that characters under 14 are fertile without a homeland. 

wondible wrote:

Note that only eve has free reign. Any children can be fertile without a homeland, but as soon as they stumble into somebody else's, they are are stuck until they get a true homeland.

He was saying that the children of an Eve do not share her ability to have "free reign".   If her children go into someone else's homeland, they will lose the ability to have children of their own until they have established a homeland themselves.

You really need to improve your reading comprehension so you don't keep shadowboxing with non-existent opponents.   Attention to detail is a useless ability if you can't distinguish context.

Okay so I just have a few questions.

1. Is English your first language? (ie, are you fluent in English?)
2. Are you a Moral Theorist?
3. What kind of drugs are you on? (I'm asking for a friend.)
4. If I called you a contrarian, would you immediately say your not a contrarian.
5. Can you teach me to high-jack a conversation? (again, asking for a friend)
6. Less of a question, more of a comment. Love your Troll game dude. #FathersMatter #OHOLmarriage


I am a dirty, dirty roleplayer. I roleplay in the game, sometimes on the forum and if I'm being honest, a bit in real life. I can't help myself. I'm a dirty, dirty roleplayer. Don't hate the player, hate the game. smile

Re: Where roleplaying has gone in OHOL? :(

Again spoonwood, the POTENTIAL to be fertile. Whether or not they end up becoming fertile depends on them and their families
