Yeah, but I’m talking about the 5 senses we usually think of when saying “regular senses.” I meant to prove the same thing: this ability qualifies for extra senses (Enhanced Senses), even though it’s not smell, sight, touch, taste, or hearing. Also, the profile looks gud

Need to double check if Extra Senses are considered an ability in VSBW (akin to, say, Spider-Man's Spider-Sense or Izuku's Danger Sense, the latter of which is inspired by the former, and both of which are inspired by the detection of vibrations in air and on spider webs by setae on spider legs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider_anatomy#Appendages), of which some spiders also have setae that can be used as weapons to inflict urticaria/hives and irritation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urticating_hair), which could be included in any spider pages regarding the vibration sensing and New World tarantulas and caterpillars and nettle plants in the Real World if not already included)

No problem 
Extra Senses is an type of ability in the Enhanced Senses page
Said page reads:
"Extra Senses: Some characters have completely new senses not possessed by humans, an example of this in real life is the ability of some animal species to sense magnetic fields. Other extra senses can include the ability to sense things in different dimensions, distortions in time and space, the thoughts of other beings, the future, the past, quantum activity, magical energies, forms of life energy like ki, computer data, etc.

- Note - This is not to be confused with Extrasensory Perception, as this ability must involve the use of one of the standard five senses, or any other sensory organs, in order to qualify."

Thought I'd repost the suggestion from my other thread about modifying the page entry arrangements:
I'm not sure if it's necessary or useful, but just wondering whether armour (like bulletproof vests, bombsuits, spacesuits, etc) should be included (in which case the Weapons section should be renamed to Armour And Weapons), but even if that's not the case, I feel shields should be added since they've been both used as defensive blocking weapons and offensive parrying and ramming weapons (even if not the primary purpose regarding the latter) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_shield in modern times, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nguni_shield and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutum in more historical times), and then there's dueling shields that have been around quite a while as well from Talhoffer and other manuals:

We should probably somehow add transmissible spongiform encephalopathies/TSEs (prions) and other diseases like African trypanosomiasis (parasite), visceral leishmaniasis (parasite), etc that have 99-100% case fatality rate along with vectors and causes, Clostridium botulinum (bacteria, botulinum toxin/botulism disease), Yersinia pestis (bacteria, plague), and galaxy cluster mergers (natural events) to the Real World page

^ could you help me add the stuff I suggested in the previous message somehow? (not sure how they'd be tiered or described in VSBW format but worth a shot) (also not sure how to mention/notify people without replies welp)
Also:
Real World Page Entry Addition And Arrangement Modification Discussion Thread (ie/tldr Real World Discussion Thread)
So... this is gonna be a bit daunting and probably insane coming from me due to being a relative newcomer, but I have some ideas I would like to pose regarding the arrangement and status of the Real World Entries (I'm probably gonna spend most of my time either in Content Revision regarding the...
"1) I personally do not mind slightly improving the organisation in our real world page, but it would have to be evaluated and handled by highly experienced members, preferably staff."
Ant agreed to allow us to change the format of the Real World page according to the proposal if necessary, provided we do it properly
Also, despite the 3rd point he made, I think we can add armour (or at least shields under Melee Weapons) to the Real World page.

Time Zones
Was curious as to how different the time zones are for everyone in this community, I know Ant's Swedish (he mentioned it in his Fandom profile page), I'm Singaporean/Indian (I live mostly in Singapore but every end of year I go back to India to visit extended family), but not sure about everyone...

To my knowledge, the research, profile making and logic-checking are the 3 steps to making a profile. You should try to find 1-2 people and divide labor equally to save time.

So apparently, we found evidence that not all insects are stupid: https://www.livescience.com/animals...-only-animal-other-than-humans-known-to-do-so

Most eusocial insects are a lot smarter than we give then credit for, especially ants.

I mean, sure, but any non-human creature, let alone Florida carpenter ants, practicing advanced medicine is wild.

So only AP related feats?

Quick question, do we have more evidence of 9-B IRL animal raw strength at the weights of 200-400 kg? I'm saying this because I managed to calc a tiger paw swipe 9-C to 9-B at even playful, lower forces.

It was copy pasted from my sandbox on my plans to revise IRL animals. The point of the post is to see and prioritized the most cultural significant ones. Lots of text have been edited out for the purposes of this post.

Decided to add this part into the post and edited the rule just to let everyone know what animals can be on the list.

On an unrelated note, DarlingAurora (a major supporter in IRL animals) is injured and should be inactive for several weeks.

Not necessarily advanced medicine by human standards perhaps, but capability to heal severe injuries indeed which is still impressive, and also I think quite a few species of ants are also capable of similar healing feats (essentially sealing wounds, even severed limbs, to allow injured fellow ants to continue to work and fight).

I know Aurora's profile message wall area has a whole discussion on Orcas vs Sperm Whales and I posted my belief that bull sperm whales are stronger than orcas, but I still think orcas deserve a spot in this list (if they're not already added and well documented in terms of powers/stats) (particularly cause despite being much smaller than bull sperm whales, orcas can still kill both most predatory marine organisms and most prey marine organisms (I hesitate to say all since there's organisms with defenses tough enough to repel orcas, particularly poisonous and venomous ones), especially when orcas team up in pods, and they're considered a cosmopolitan species as well)
Speaking of cosmopolitan species, here's a clarification on what it means:
Cosmopolitan distribution - Wikipedia
Cosmopolitan distribution - Wikipedia
We should also add the cape buffalo as well (again, if they're not added and well documented in terms of powers/stats already), since alongside the hippo, rhino and elephant the buffalo is one of the most dangerous African animals and they are in the Big 5 list:
Big five game - Wikipedia
As for dinosaurs, I know other extinct creatures deserve a spot as well, and I know quite a few are already inside, but I'd still like to make sure both dinosaurs and other extinct creatures receive the love they deserve so I'm sending articles for the largest, longest living and most numerous of either/both extinct and/or extant organisms (oddly there's no prehistoric largest plants, though probably cause at least a few plants or other photosynthetic organisms have survived since even the periods just after the birth of life, also not sure why largest prehistoric animals article is not embedding):

Your time zone
Since when some users are available, but users from the other side of the Earth at this time are asleep, I decided to create a thread where everyone can specify their UTC. This can be useful: we will know time to contact each other. UTC-11: UTC-10: UTC-9: UTC-8: Jeremihe...
