I'm a human. In my world we've never found evidence of sapient life other than humans, and we've been looking for several centuries.
If you're comfortable sharing, what species are you? What other sapients exist in your world?

Wow! In my world humans are a fantasy creature! It must be SO COOL to be in a society that is filled with a race that can shift through time and the pocket dimensions must be really convenient!
Anyway, I'm an elf. I feel kinda boring, actually. It's mostly elves, here, but sometimes if you're a member of the elite you can ascend to MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR SECURITY REASONS. Pretty cool. Don't think it'll happen with me, though, I'm not that smart!

Humans in my world only move through time the same way anything else does, i.e. forwards at a constant rate. We also don't have pocket dimensions, at least not that I know of.
There's a "MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR SECURITY REASONS" in there. Do you have any idea why that might be?

I am a human. Humans are the only intelligent life in my world.
(There are, of course, various mythological beasts to whom the label would apply, but, as implied, they only exist in the realm of fiction).

Oh. That's kind of a letdown. I'm sure you guys are still cool, though! I've seen a ton of movies about humans, I think you guys are awesome!
There's a what? Um, no there isn't?

If you're a member of the elite you can ascend to "MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR SECURITY REASONS", apparently.

To Dispersiveprism:
It appears that you have been misinformed regarding the inherent magical powers of humans. While it is possible for some of us to manipulate Time in order to gather information (the most notable example, of course, being prophecies), it is unheard of (and almost certainly impossible) for any human to, as you say, "shift through time." I do not know what you mean by "pocket dimensions", but I highly doubt that their creation is among the standard human powerset.
If you would like more accurate information about human powers, I will happily supply it at a later date.
Can I ask where your information comes from?

I think it might be my network, actually, security is rather tight around here. Oh! That makes sense. Okay, then um, it's on your end, not mine. I don't really know how to fix it? And I'm a little leery of trying to go around security, but I can try to explain some more if you'd like? Well, there's a MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR SECURITY REASONS involved with becoming a MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR SECURITY REASONS, but I'm told there's a lot of benefits to it! Not that I have any MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR SECURITY REASONS friends, but from what I have seen of them on the news they seem like very nice people. We're lucky to have them, too, because otherwise MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR BOTANICAL-POLITICAL REASONS might become more of a problem! MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR SECURITY REASONS. MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR SECURITY REASONS. So really, when you get down to it MESSAGE HAS BEEN SCRUBBED FOR SECURITY REASONS. I hope that helped! If not, or the problem happened again, check your network? I don't really know what to say, not a crystal expert, or a super complicated clockwork expert, so.

I admit I'm a little annoyed now. The forum description mentioned that material might be redacted to comply with local ordinances, but nothing was said about material being altered, and I'm uncomfortable with the thought that someone out there is seeing words I never wrote being posted under my name. Still, I guess there's nothing I can do.
Thank you for the explanation, dispersiveprism, although it isn't really what I was after.

I admit I'm a little annoyed now. It's sad that I can't be as great and awesome as the ascended, but from what you've said of them they seem like upstanding rulers, and I can only hope that their reign is eternal so your world can live in a forever golden age. Thank you for the explanation, dispersiveprism. Yep! That's what we all hope for. No problem, happy to help.

"A forever golden age". Not only are my messages being censored, they're being censored with substandard grammar.

It's okay, I won't hold grammar mistakes against you, I know not everyone is as lucky as I've been to grow up in the Sunrise Empire. Education's really great here. Mistakes happen, and there's an edit button right at the top right hand corner of your previous posts if it bothers you. <3

The Sunrise Empire sounds like a hellhole.

It's pretty nice, yeah! I think homeless numbers are at a new record low, and literacy's high as ever. But this isn't really about local intelligent life, so we should probably move this to another topic.

I agree that we've gotten off-topic.
Who else wants to talk about their world's intelligent life?
