Say hello to one of the oldest Shartak's researchers, Schloss Ritter. He declared support for the cause. Scientastic!
We have a new member, DarkFerret. As he said - Anything in the name of science. According to his words he is particulary interested in ghost parrots. --Lama 03:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Parrotologists' Society is now open to all people, interested in natural sciences. Today we welcome Dr. Livingstone, who is a well known botanist and his experiments with plants' watering gained him fame and a position in a Shartak's Science Hall of Fame. --Lama 00:29, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Parrotology
2007-06-06 10:44 spotted a parrot. Starting observations. Parrot looks much like a parrot, it has two wings, a beak and some legs too. And many colors.
Shartak parrots - their HP and AP
Wandering around you will probably meet some parrots. They are known to have low health and their beaks aren't the most efficient weapon in the world. Really? Read below for some less known truth about different kinds of parrots.
- a parrot - 1 DMG, 5 HP. Your daily parrot. Yawn...
- a vicious parrot - 2 DMG, 6 HP / 3 DMG, 7 HP - who would've expect? These little birds can be annoying, so you better watch your sleep when a vicious parrot is near.
- a man-eating parrot - 4 DMG, 8 HP - a little threat during a daytime it can make you visit your home-camp shaman in the night. Man-eating parrots were never spotted in their natural habitat, but lab tests prove that there is a possibility such a monster appears one day and terrorizes our dwellings.
Below you can see photos of the parrots:
Parrots and tracking skills
Even if you learned Tracking Mastery skill, you will not be able to track a bird. Now that I thought of this it seems obvious...
Ectoparrotology
In my observations of ghosts and ectoforms I noticed a distinct lack of nonhuman willtrace. I hypothesized that most animals don't have the intelligence to produce them. Then a parrot repeated a native, in perfect English (except 'paleface die') instead of the native's nonsense.
Field tests have yet to yield observations of parrot ghosts and the translating behavior has not been replicated in the lab. The project may need to be suspended to raise rapidly dwindling research funding. Those parrots eat so many mangoes.
Botany
There were rumors that liquids could affect the growth rate of the jungle, altough these were never confirmed.
To find out if plants would really grow at different rates when submitted to liquids, I conducted an experiment.
For this investigation I cleared several squares of jungle, poured all kinds of different substances on them, and kept track of each of their growth rates.
The results were suprising: pouring fresh water on a square will make it grow one density in just one day; salt water slows groth down only slightly, so daily watering is needed to observe any effect; and all other liquids have no apparent effect.
