I disagree. What about all the references in The Book of Ti'ana to 'The Five' and 'The Eighteen' when referring to the Grand Masters? Wasn't Veovis' father one of the Five?

Something to look for in the cavern, I suppose. I just bough my GameTap subscription yesterday...I can hardly wait! I really liked the tiny bit of Uru Live we got when the game first came out...except the servers were pretty slow. (overloaded, maybe?)

Five was an important number but not a fundamental one. The basic colours are six; in Ahyoheek you win by getting 3 of a kind; there are 29 'days' in a D'ni 'month'; and so on.

Gehn thought that everything D'ni had to have its base in 5, or be reconducted to 5. That is simply not the case.

* just smiles and nods politely at the "5" talk. *

Anyways, I think we should have D'ni Culture games, if anything, in the hoods. I want to see how the D'ni occupied themselves when they were bored.

Wink I know from previous discussion that most don't want to see surface games down in the cavern - but it has been suggested - and I have to agree - that a deck of cards would not be out of place. After all we are surface dwellers who are exploring - like archeologists - a "relatively" dead culture. Why wouldn't we bring our card decks with us to entertain ourselves? True, as we learn more about the D'ni culture we may adopt some of their "games", but this doesn't mean that we have to ignore our own. Oh for a few rounds of cribbage or pinochle with friends - or maybe a round of Texas holdem. Laughing
