- no metaphors, allegories or representations - no fantasy images Is atlantis fantasy, I ask you? It's not science-fiction, and it's not fantasy because it hasn't been dreamed up by anyone, it exists as a historical record written by Plato from the conversations of Critias. Plato's republic is taught in schools and universities, for Pete's sakes. Pete's pretty annoyed right now, I gotta tell you. What Pete understands from the damned challenge is that there should be no allegories. As in I can't make 2 shapes in xfrog, put them over the bloody water, and call it existentialist ennuy. By no fantasy I understand that there should be no unicorns... But Atlantis... COME ON... It might not be the strongest of historic facts, but it exists. So yeah, anyway, just wanted to unload my mind on you all and ask Zhann if I'm allowed to do it. Zhann? Drac
