:For Soludra: I think that if you really wanted to take a serious crack at the current definition, you'd have to first discuss the matter of sentience before determining the Achaean connotations of "animal" with regards to sentience. I still don't quite see how the -possibility- of animals being sentient, when we know that not all animals are sentient, warrants categorizing all creatures as sentient, i.e. denizens. Under the current understanding, if you wanted to categorize denizens under creatures instead, humgii would still be categorized as denizens according to the "Lowest Common Denominator" category rule.

:For Delphinus: What of Maya's acknowledgment of humgii sentience? Also, if some unicorns are flagged as sentient, then that should be reflected by categorizing the unicorns article under denizens as well as creatures with our current policy. Unfortunately you'll also note that the working definition for the Denizen races category is differentiated from others via being "humanoid", so dolphins and unicorns would not be (and are not) classified under such already.

::I had hoped to squeeze this in before a reply. If humgiis are sentient, the implication here is that nearly every player-run organisation (including Shallam) engages in slavery. And that's... really just silly, and a bad outcome overall in a lot of ways. Again - "Sentient creatures," which would fit the definition presented in HELP DENIZENS a whole lot better as well and would thus be fitting for the groups to which they belong. -{{User:Delphinus/sig1}} 00:28, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
