Flavor Text

This will probably only be relevant to those who are here through Cardsmith; I am toying with the idea of changing the flavor text to an actual flavor text rather than the definition. Please email your thoughts on the matter to me. Thank you!

    I think it's more fun. We can tell the definition if we see the mechanic of the card if it is designed well.

      Thank you very much for that opinion. Just some thoughts were that with some of the phobias I have to come up with a bit of a stretch in order for it to work and with others, I cant think of anything. Then again I do always mention the meaning in the first bit of each post.
      Thank you :)
      Sorry for rambling

Xenophobia

Xenophobia is rather common, which to be honest is kinda sad. Xenophobia is one of the most common fears in the world. I do understand why Xenophobia is prevalent; the fear of strange or foreign concepts is hardwired into the brain and has been there before we fully evolved to be Homo Sapiens. It was a necessary fear and was crucial to our survival; if we weren’t dubious and afraid of things we didn’t know, we would’ve carelessly wandered into countless brutal deaths. This fear is no longer needed to survive each and every day, but it still exists. This hardwired fear is still more or less ubiquitous, because it hasn’t been that long since the point when this was survival necessary, at least on the scale of evolution. The human brain hasn’t had enough time to realize that this is no long relevant and that you don’t need this. A weaker form of xenophobia is hardwired into every human brain and has been since prehistoric times, but those with a fully fledged xenophobia are so overtaken ...

(Sorry that I put in all of the basic forms. I take Latin as a World Language and I know that one of the top of my head...) It is also derived from the Greek god of fear, Phobos. (Obviously.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCIENCE: Ambulophobia typically doesn't manifest in early life, rather the older a person gets, the more likely they are to develop it and its symptoms. Sufferers typically will feel unsafe while walking and sometimes while standing up and will usually use a walking cane and sometimes confine themselves to a wheelchair. Ambulophobia is also closely related to Basophobia/Basiphobia & Statibasophobia/Stasiphobia, all of which pertain to the action of walking or standing. It also is ...
