I still vote for lesser manna oceans

[GiglameshDespair]

Following on from the link Sinless posted, why don't we have hydrocarbon seas?

Why not a mix? The seas don't have to be all one thing.

I would be fine with this.

Wouldn't that be expensive and not be terribly useful, except to encourage a world that runs on phlebotinum?

Well what if we just imbued the hydrocarbon seas with manna so it's diluted?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Which brings up the question of why.

[Gamerlord]

Why don't you want creatures that drink and piss mana?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Because it would be extremely costly to put pure mana in the seas, and would not have any point?

[The Froggy Ninja]

Well who knows maybe it will make them the best spell casters in the multiverse.

[GreatWyrmGold]

If they cast spells, they will be the best spellcasters in the multiverse, because nothing else exists.

Besides, why do we want grand spellcasters?

You see, the problem is currently we are on a path to create an exact replica of Earth. This place has to have SOME quirks, or some oddity so we aren't playing God that just felt like creating the planet we live on currently.

I'm agreeing with GreatWyrmGold (and thus, acually, with myself) but hydrocarbon seas are good.

We already have main differences: silicon based life and seas of hydrocarbons help make it a bit different. We can make more advanced living things with mana, but the idea of making the basic bits need mana does feel wasteful and little gain for the cost.

That's all well and good but the silicon based life could easily evolve to be humanoids which dominate the planet through their ingenuity and intelligence.

Yeah multiple races is funnier, more politics that make some sense as people are going against actual races instead of themselves.

I'm not even interested in amusement, I'm just looking to expend my creativity on something, so we can build something unusual, creative, unnatural. And by that, I mean it should not have to be governed by the laws that govern the organics we know today.
