Yea yea sure but if you look at how the city is built, it’s had
I mean it’s pretty obvious it’s been the center of the Alliance for a while now, just like how Orgrimmar had districts for the other Horde races
Wow.
I did not expect this many posts. Huh…
Should I be scared or heart-warmed?
Ye-es? That isn’t the same thing. If Moira was Empress of the Alliance would that make Stormwind still the Capital? If you mean is it the -current- political hub of the Alliance, then obviously yes it is. If you are saying that Stormwind is the -Capital- of the Alliance, then you’d be wrong. By definition it is an Alliance, the Other Alliance races are not Client Kingdoms of Stormwind. The Capital is wherever the current ruler decides it is…
The Whole Lord being able to press his suite on the females in their retinue being a ‘thing’. That was never a thing. Prima Noctae was never a thing, Droit de Seigneur was a phrase but never a thing. Nobles actually were de-spurred and had their swords broken over their heads and made commoners if they tried that stuff. Stuff like Lord Bayerlein thinking women shouldn’t wear hats is just a foible, harmless, and whilst strange and unenforceable by law, is just a quirk, thinking he has a right to sexual congress with female members of his retinue including the underage is not a quirk, that is a misdemeanour. Sorry if people disagree with that, but that is what I think, and the law in most countries think, and did think, even back then. Want to be ‘authentic’? Marry them. Then it was acceptable (to their standards of acceptable). I would have thought it was pretty clear what I meant, and the very, very, very rare examples in lore that we do see of such behaviour, are irredeemable bad guys, who were punished by karma, usually. Not a road map as to how a Noble in WoW works…
I imagine unless you were working under some government grant it would be extremely unrewarding, but that is my opinion, happily for all concerned I use words in English, so no deciphering is necessary, unless you are foreign, in which case, I apologise, I am naturally verbose and loquacious by nature and any deciphering or translating necessary is both understandable and entirely reasonable. I am certain I would have the same confusion in your language, unless it was French, German or Russian.
That’s just bad rp in general, not the sole province of human RP, although, in fairness, it is most prominent there. “I do Dodgy thing publically and laugh like a maniac!” Yeah, the High King is going to execute your backside. "No, I will have a trial where inexplicably everyone gets bored and I am allowed to go and commit more War Crimes, without taking any consequences! Humans are racist! All of them, how do we know? Garithos!. "He was one dude, and, a bad dude, and nobody really liked him, and he…in fact atwhat point did you regard that character as a good role model? I mean his only defining feature is that he was racist, They even -said-that he did not get the role by merit, That -was- his defining feature, He was a Racist. There is no…‘anything else’. You like him because he was a racist. We’re getting a pretty clear picture of what is wrong here…
Swearing! Now this is a good one. There is nothing wrong with Swearing. People who say that Swearing is a sign of a limited vocabulary are morons, and clearly have never read Shakespeare. I mean he was the Tarantino of his day. His language was absolutely disgusting at the time. I still use it as Brigante, because whilst it gets the point across, it isn’t the F-Bomb or the C-Bomb. I mean why swear using modern day words that wouldn’t have that resonance? Swearing is a vital and I would say, important part of language. It exists in every language and culture, and the focus of those swear words are always the same. Excrement, carnal congress, and the regenerative organs of both male and females. That’s universal. Swearing is natural, and part of vocabulary. Using it as punctuation, in place of actual words, now -that- is lazy. That is cheapening the emphasis that swear words have! If I drop the F-Bomb in conversation it is pretty apparent to everyone around me that I am supremely annoyed. If I use it every few words then it just loses its currency.
Humans aren’t racist, get over yourselves, you are not being cool playing Garithos, you are doing the same as hundreds of other people.
Sexism: This is great: it may have happened a while back, I mean I play a character who is 40+ years old who pretended to be a Boy when she enlisted in the army aged 15. Now? Not a thing. Nope, Sorry, for no Species. Not -a- thing. You can play a Sexist character, however you are not normal, you will be laughed out of polite society, and certainly not regarded as someone of power.
I kind of wish I didn’t get the reference, but ….I do…
“I Need Anduin! I need Anduin till the end of the Night! He’s got to be strong, he’s got to be brave and do some crazy stuff with the Light!”
Stormwind Noble rp:
*If Male, be dressed in bulky plate armour, often with some kind of red-colouring. Have title/nickname like “The Bull, The Steed, The ox”. Curse like a sailor and /e kills, on any oposers. Also refer to magic as witchcraft and own property the size of two times Kalimdor.
*If female, black haired or redhead, overly curvy figure(Hourglass). Use cleavage robe/transmog. Titles/nickname such as “The vixen, the raven etc”. Also curse like a sailor. Own property the size of nearly double Azeroth and immense wealth to outrival the goblin trade princes.
My title -
The Blackadder.
Ok, so you said we were using a medieval tradition that never happened? Then you reply with the fact the Lord is a man that likes bedding his female, human retinue members. Where did we ever say that is a tradition from history that we follow? Just admit it Brigante, you don’t like us so you chose to try and say our one small guild is responsible for what is bad in Alliance RP. Try being honest for once eh?
And don’t try and bait me with underage/forced realtionships, because you know that hasn’t actually happened and was merely blown out of proportion by you and certain other members of AD.
We don’t rp with you, you don’t rp with us, get on with your game and we’ll get on with ours.
:cmonbruh:
also disregard the wight and power of your noble title.
count and baron are two very different things and a duke flex on both
a guy in my DnD group gave me a lecture on this and how high each one is on the noble ranking list.
but noble rp’ers just seem to throw baron or count in or whatever else sounds noble around.
Actually never mind.
If I do Blackadder then someone is going to do Lord Flashheart.
ERP will then quadruple.
In all honestly, if you step aside from all the memes & things thats been spread around with the Bayerleyn and Shonn by a couple of people over the years here and there, I’ve actually personally never had any unpleasant encounters with the greencoats in my…now 9 years on AD on diffrent little characters.
I’ve run into the Bayerelyn a couple of times IC on characters, mostly around cataclysm/Mop era, and a bit now later too, and its always been either a pleasant or fun experience with some nice roleplay, no matter how brief or lengthy.
Looking at everything the Alliance has, to me “House RP” is by far the most dull, like of everything you could be you join a guild to be a typical Peasant Levy, or somehow a Retinue based on Knights or some dungheel. Instead of looking around.
Like come on, Alliance RP is mostly made up of Guards, Army Unit, Naval Unit, Crime, House and or Knight Guild. The rare exceptions, which I feel more like that is needed is stuff like what the Lordamere Rangers pull off. Something that actually takes you outside of the regions near Stormwind instead of having “War Campaign” as an excuse. Like hell Naval Guilds can be an extreme exception, they arnt common, but at the same time allows the guild to go anywhere they do so like in concept. Meanwhile with stuff like House RP… Well, you’re stuck in the same city with the same people never seeing anything else but the same banner in the same corner of the same district next to the same cathedral. And only go furthest being that of Redridge and Duskwood. Since going anywhere else actually requires more effort… That and House guilds in War… defeats the point of retinues when they are treated like normal Soldiers…
I am Lady Grey
Baron of Pandaria
Countess of Gilneas
And Marquis of Azeroth.
My name is Thuzar, The Black Wolf.
And I am Duke of Outland, Baron of kalimdor and Count of Stormwind.
Sesquipedalianism is purple prose by a prettier name, Brigante.
We’re together on the sexism, though. The IC stuff doesn’t matter; real sexual harassment of minors on a video game does. Pretty grim.
Go read their last guild thread. It has first-hand accounts.
The way I see it? The Alliance players are regularly at war with each other due to entirely trivial matters or egos. Eventually that does seep into the role playing.
You, are one of the server’s problems.
People like you take a screenshot from years ago and keep parading it around and around, long after it it was dealt with. We made mistakes, we rectified them, if you can’t see that then it isn’t really my problem, nor has it got anything to do with Alliance rp as a whole.
Never done that. Just referring to my schoolfriend who your Guild Master harassed as a minor. That’s not a mistake—it’s a crime.
Big accusations there. Need me to remind you you should be a little more careful what you say?
