[QUOTE="gizmo33, post: 3574483, member: 30001"] His example is sufficient to demonstrate the point about economic conditions. Your comment appears by proximity to object to them but really changes the subject by raising the question of what the environmental conditions are like. As we've already discussed, there's no reason to have an opinion on the geology of every single possible fantasy world in this area - which is relevant to just how the diamonds are gathered and the environmental impact. There's also no reason to think that the environmental disruption is equivalent, given that the populations/numbers involved don't have to equate - there are millions of people in that part of Africa - I would seriously doubt most people conceive of an elf kingdom in terms of millions. It's a fantasy world - a sharp-eyed elf can spot diamonds in the river-bank that wash down periodically from the mountains - it can be as simple as that. [/QUOTE]
