[A / 8.3 themed Riot RP] Hysteria 👁 - 6th of Feb

[Desartin-argent-dawn (Desartin)]

Hmm, to attend either as Des to try and hold down the rioters… or make a throw-away and join the riots myself… so many possibilities…

[Diamantia-argent-dawn]

And the town crier has returned once again! Into the streets, we roused the statues from their still lifeless forms and life flooded into the stagnate, static locations.

And we have plenty of OOC laced comments tossed around. And a lot of needless swearing because ‘swearing is edgy’.
And of course, we had one individual who jumped onto various alts to attack people for no reason. Sad individual.

Stay tuned!

Saw you yelling earlier!

But I was getting my KT’s heritage then logging for dinner so couldn’t stop.

‘swearing is edgy’.

BUT! Were they noble Rpers?

The rest of it was a lot of fun though!

[Wilcöx-argent-dawn (Wilcöx)]

This will be a load of fun. Will probably attend on an alt, since John is currently busy elsewhere.

[Belok-argent-dawn (Belok)]

Looks cool. Can’t attend, but i hope u have lots of fun

(riots have been the best part of stormwind’s rp for the last five years)

[Lawson-argent-dawn (Lawson)]

my character is ready to go!

can’t wait for the 6th

[Zeepkist-argent-dawn (Zeepkist)]

Sadly I will not be able to make it on Thursday, so did a bit of void whisper madness RP yesterday next to our lovely town crier.

Rest in peace, Bob Yard. Victim of the war and the whispers…

Will Stormwind compensate his wife to maintain the Yard farmstead in Westfall? Who knows…

[Diamantia-argent-dawn]

A quiet night of shouts. No killings. No fights. Just good, wholesome role-play!

Only a small number of OOCers as well. Zero would be preferable.

[Xiuchii-argent-dawn]

Mh, interesting idea, might actually have a look!

I do have a question.

Given that every time some Stormwind Riot event has propped up there are threads about people taking absolutely no consequences for their actions, and seemingly simply doing it to just be a jackass, on both sides. And there being the usual “But there were no Guard RPers!” kind of response. How do you intend to enforce consequences for rioters, especially those that get completely out of line? Especially if it IS a case that Guard RPers won’t be present at this event.

[Kyandrial-argent-dawn (Kyandrial)]

I think one of the ideas of this is that if we’re rioters, most of us will make NPCs that will take consequences. People playing things like farmers and miners and some lesser nobles - so we won’t have to worry about losing a long lived and loved character.

The majority of the people that I have organised to attend will be attending on the rioting side are playing expendable NPCs that will end up dead / detained / scattered and are fairly weak in individual power (commoners / low fantasy soldiers / craftsmen make up much of the riot). The riot will 100% be broken and the forces of law / order will win out

I’m not responsible for enforcing consequences on anyone attending beyond that. I guess you can ask those people individually if you’re interested

[Xiuchii-argent-dawn]

Right, thanks for the response! Was a bit worried about that, we all know how those Riots tend to turn out. I’ve attended a few of them, and I simply am worried it’ll just turn out like those usually do.

[Diamantia-argent-dawn]

The idea is that the ‘rioters’ are little more than people who are armed with bare basic weapons. Planks of wood, pitchforks, makeshift torches. Common tools. These are not trained people. They are people who are panicking and reacting, pushed by the subtle influence of the old god.

If you are worried about how the ‘super soldier’ types who would join in, they do not join in the spirit of the roleplay. They join in to power-play, to cause trouble. It may be best to ignore them if they just want to murder consequence free.

No bother and I agree

@Xiuchii-argent-dawn

The people that are under my control (ie. the big mob of NPCs played by the PCU) won’t do anything crazy (or I will become crazy instead). People who join in on the fly on the riot’s side on their mains or other non-expendable characters - which they’re welcome and encouraged to - aren’t something I can personally micromanage but the hope is that 99% of people who jump in will be fantastic roleplayers that will enrich your RP experience

[Diamantia-argent-dawn]

If people choose to jump into the event of their own accord, that is on them. No one forced them to join.
The question will be if they want to accept consequences and engage in the role-play as it comes. Or if they just want to god emote.

[Willstone-argent-dawn]

Same difference as between the Police and the Military.

[Tehya-wildhammer]

That difference exists in WoW…?

not in Warcraft it doesn’t
