The flood of Noah?

Surely you should just stick to events that are physically possible...

Also the Circassian genocide / mass deportations

With regards to the "Great flood", while it is one thing to consider it physically impossible, one must look at such a view with a grain of salt.

Nearly every old culture has a story or cultural adherence to some "great flood" not just Christianity/Judaism/Islam.

There was a separate thread if you want to discuss that.

Wow. This thread derailed the first time because of the religon/Noah's flood thing. Then it was split to preserve the topic.


Then it happened a second time... in the exact same way. Crazy!

Don't even JOKE. I've been stuck at home with no food all day waiting for my house-mate to come home so I could use his charger to charge my phone and order food. 1:44 AM and NADA. !@#$er had a show to play with his band most likely. SO, I'm phoneless so I have no alarm to wake me up in the morning for work and no food, so I went and bought a sub, some candy, a slim-jim, and vitamin water at the local 24/7 store across town and now am bunkering down to stay up ALL NIGHT so I can actually go to work in the morning.

Quick! Lets do some epic RPs in Dwilight >_> Keep me awake... My leg is !@#$ing killing me from walking to the store, I keep forgetting to get more meds for the pain, heh.

The bubonic plague, Irish potato famine, and 1918 flu outbreak are the ones I would have mentioned.

But, I think this does show that it was quite a significant event for Dwilight to have occurred. It has literally changed the history of the continent. It shut down the war between Kabrinskia and Asylon on its own.

It should definitely have some awesome historical stuff written up for it on the Wiki.

Genghis Khan wins, if you count by percentage of the World population.

I was looking to make a Nomadic Genghis Khan styled realm on dwilight :)

Nah... It wasn't so bad. It was over 250 years... It's like accounting the deaths over all the Roman expansion.

Although I would like to see a Mongol invasion in dwilight!!!  ;D

That's true, in terms of a single-year continent-wide event, I think only the Spanish flu comes close.
