[A-RP] The Crown Confederacy — A Stormwind Project

@Aerilen-argent-dawn

The ghosts of yesteryear insisting they are still living…

we live! we live!!! i shriek loudly as i rot in my crypt

@Rover-argent-dawn

Albeit I won’t be in SW to experience it.

Do drop in to say hi sometime!

[Krewe-argent-dawn]

Nice, some cool city themes finally. So much RP potential in the city with actual, consistent storylines that’s missed in the randomness of it all.

@Sallien-argent-dawn

I’ll certainly be looking to say hi when possible. More likely during any campaigns however.

enforced

Again, it is never ever enforced because it is impossible to enforce, I mean, surely you understand that the police is not going to take you to jail and neither will a judge sentence you to prison for role playing something different

@Obilot-argent-dawn

headcanon and bubbles

You’re not entitled to have a role play narrative cater to you individually, this is not bubble role play in the same way that the Grim Gest is not a bubble when I design events only for my members

[Vervaina-argent-dawn]

@Perroy-argent-dawn

Not much of an argument

Certainly wasn’t. It was a question, simple as.

[Gobbert-argent-dawn (Gobbert)]

I can’t wait to see this initiative around the time of 8.2

Hopefully this item will ENHANCE the RP when the races of Stormwind band together once again in their RP.

there’s also an unmounted version

For reals though when are we gonna see alt-universe DK Sallien.

@Obilot-argent-dawn

The watch is remembered with fondness because they respected people, and existed solely to create RP, and they were not spasmodically trying to boss people around. The latter thing is the issue with many guard guilds and player ran governments.

Yes, but again I don’t believe that’s OP’s intention at all. There has to be some element of “rules” and “agreements” - but nobody is bound by them, and I’m sure if 10 guards come up to your character and say you’re violating the sitting-on-the-grass rule and have to move, you can use any IC or OOC objection (IC preferred) to denote that you don’t follow those laws. Exactly the same as people did with the Watch.

I think it’s the very opposite of harmful for SW to be united under a bigger, solitary narrative though.

I’d be tempted by a stint on the dark side if it wasn’t so final.

Alt-universe! It’s totally legit these days, ish… Or I guess it’d make a hallow’s end costume.

This should be the first place your mind goes anyway. No one (I hope) RPs these concepts to limit fun. Make a silly excuse, run away, take up so much of their time they just leave you alone anyway. There’s plenty of ways to acknowledge RP but not have it vastly effect yours. Just as you would for any IC ‘authority’

For the purpose of storytelling, slowly building up this community will be vital. Membership will not be open — I see it as very important to keep this to guilds who can have meaningful interactions with each other, and who we feel fit the mould. That isn’t to say that it’s a closed group — we’re trying to create a shared narrative, and anyone is welcome to join the public section of our discord, read the rumours & gossip posts, and generally chat about what’s going on.

While I will be putting up a guild thread for it later on, the coordination for this will be furnished through my own guild, Servant of the Crown — there are any number of character types/roles that would fit this guild, and I will start actively recruiting for it shortly, so feel free to get in touch if you’d like to join.

Thanks, but no thanks.

We don’t need one guy up top gatekeeping a massive roleplaying project.

It saddens me to see how excited people are to have one person try to run how they play, or are able to play, with the rest of the faction, and it’s even more sad how many people are immediately ragging on folks that dissent.

Super gross, AD. Less of this.

“You’re able to tag along if you seek roleplay, or welcome to ignore it, it’s your choice” dont see what constructive point you’re trying to make here. Nobody’s seeking to enforce anything but instead the community is getting together to create some interesting, diverse and captivating roleplay.

[Krewe-argent-dawn]

It’s less of a gatekeep as it is a community forming in Stormwind, it seems very public. You yourself can just join it and influence it by taking part.

We don’t need one guy up top gatekeeping a tiny assassin project either

We don’t " need " anything specifically

Is it only OK if it’s a project you run or what

[A-RP] Assassination contracts, open to all! CONTRACT PENDING

It wasn’t the first time Swan had had an offer like it – one job, one payment that could turn his life around. They tended to be too good to be true. He took a look at another ne’er-do-well patronising the Salty Sailor as they went by, a very lank man with thickly matted hair, watered down rum sloshing out of his glass. Fenryr’s teeth, he had to get out of this dump. Back to Stormwind – No, back to the sea, with a new ship. Triple masts! Do it right this time. Set sail and never look back. Find…

I don’t see a significant difference - both are trying to provide some infrastructure/sytory to one group or another

Did you read the OP?

This is infrastructure for an elitist system with one guy choosing who is and isn’t in the inner circle.

This “nobody is forcing you do xyz” nonsense is willingly ignorant – complaints about Stormwind’s roleplay tend to focus on how cliquey and “bubble”-like it is. How do you think that will evolve when a huge chunk of the community has made a decision to be a part of something like this, and others abstain?

If you’re concerned about a community, dividing it under the guise of uniting it is a horrible idea.

[Galford-argent-dawn]

By forming some discord group dedicated to destroying this project and freeing AD!!!

See what I mean?

Look at how vitriolic this response is for what I posted. An attack on something small I do to make a little roleplay happen. This is an objection to forming an elitist community – it doesn’t even exist yet, and already the responses to dissent are this petty and vile.

This is all going to go well, I’m sure.

[Krewe-argent-dawn]

I think it’s because the dissent isn’t very well founded. It is a public project that the public, I.E -you- can join to influence. It seems you believe it’s going to be a gated guild community, when in reality it seems to just be an open discord of people agreeing upon a storyline in the city, as opposed to somebody getting robbed in old town and then tomorrow it didnt even happen.

[Tellingworth-argent-dawn]

I have known Perroy for a decade and that is one of the tamest nose-tweaks I’ve ever seen him give someone. If your bar for vitriol is this low you are not going to do well in life.

Then you haven’t read the OP. My dissent is founded on what is promised up top: one guy running things through his guild, and choosing who is or isn’t a part of what they will decide is The Story.

My dissent is perfectly well founded, and frankly the nature of the responses I’m getting only serve to demonstrate my point.[quote=“Tellingworth-argent-dawn, post:60, topic:54607, full:true”]

For what I posted. As in, out of proportion. All this really means is that you’re used to The Rotgarde goofing up all over the forum and treating people like garbage.
