Tsk tsk, writes for half an hour, fails to respond to my masterfully constructed argument.
On the subject of Warlock Licences, i know of an easy solution. Don’t have your demons out, and don’t wear glowing green armor. No one except the odd Demon Hunter would know. If they decide to reveal your secret, just say “You listen to the ELF with a literal demon in their head?”
Oh I know its headcanon and not really something that probably fit the lore, like I said, I personally find it a bit dumb.
But my point was, that it can still generate rp by responding in character to it rather than ooc arguments in whisper or outright ignoring the person ![:slight_smile:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
Having demons out in cities was already said by metzen years ago to be a bad thing/not accepted, so doing that is just flat out dumb and begging for trouble.
I mean, it happens anyways.
True, but what I meant was that people shouldn’t act surprised/shocked for others to question them IC or go “Uhm hey, can you not do that?” when they patrol their succubus and or Fel Guard through the streets of Stormwind.
Or Voidwalker.
Or Felhunter. It is just an oversized dog with horns. Devours magic. Among many other things.
Nothing special. Right?
I don’t know what you were doing, but in our group our mages sensed something big was about to happen (cause mana weapon charging up) & promptly emoted shielding us all from it.
We then carried on winning our area.
No one forced you to take an injury, you chose to.
Wow, no need to brag about it.
Or… kill your char.
honestly i agree with loads of people here trying to type in /y overall is an annoyance to people around a person since its the biggest spatial ic channel so obviously it needs to be used sparingly like tbh why format your message in such an annoying channel to others
I think you misinterpreted the point I was trying to make.
That point being that guard RP’ers don’t have a better bet on what is the correct procedure for any given situation in the city that they operate within, and it doesn’t immediately solve the issue of conflicting headcanons.
Rather, we all play on an equal field, and because of that we’ll have to work out things and compromise on what works out and is the most logical. That could be things such as, would a guard look at a mugging or attack and interfere? Most likely. Even for a crooked guard, I think it is in their best interest to maintain control of their turf.
So, of course RP guards can work, and I don’t think you should disregard their status as such out of spite. But likewise, if they make demands or do actions that are unreasonable from an OOC perspective, of course you shouldn’t simply take it and “play your role”.
This is again a matter of trying to accept what the other is doing, and not stepping on each other’s toes needlessly, and that is generally what we automatically do out in the open. The difference is, however, that I think vastly less people are going to question/be defensive about someone’s legitimacy as a shaman than that of a guard, who after all asks for some degree of influence over the other character. It’s also difficult to be offended by a character’s physical size - as much as some people go on about Growth Potions. A character’s strength and what is acceptable in order not to be an absolute GOD is of course a reasonable debate, but a whole other can of worms.
I’ll stress again that I don’t condemn guard RP outright, I just expect some reasonability if I am to take it seriously. That said, I don’t recall an incident where I have personally argued with a guard RP’er over some disagreement in the RP we just had. But then again, most of the time I do avoid that sort of attention, because I know it can lead to a mother of a headache.
Hang on i got my warlock license right here
shows papers
On the subject of Guard RP
I find it disappointing no guard RP’er tried to arrest me when I stayed for a week in Stormwind even after I tried robbing someone.
No I wasn’t
stop right there you criminal scum!
But for real, it can be hard to do follow up rp on criminal activities if you don’t catch the person in the act.
While that may be the case in the past, these days the calibre of “law enforcement” rp both on Horde and Alliance is such that they’re simply looking for a way to weirdly flex on you to cover for their real life inadequacies.
“Ah where’s your loisence m8 for standing here” and then of course you reply to such an absurd request in the appropriate manner
“well m4+4 im gonna have to execute u on the spot noW!!!” /w ((btw if you resist this ur now bad rp 
))
Replace your loitering license for any unsubstantiated or otherwise head canonical concept intended to assert a modicum of “authority” over another player at your pleasure.
Well no, they don’t do that. They spend most of their time trying to harass other players with mounts and toys when they know they aren’t going to get their own way. 
The Bad Breath 
confederacy strikes again…
Well I guess our bad for taking damage from a magical effect that placed us at ground zero, given that it was centred on the tower we were occupying. That is how it was described to us in raid chat, and we were like “WTF? Can the alliance even do that?” “No, they can’t” "So do we take it? " “Guess we have to, that’s…unfortunate, there wasn’t any warning, so our characters couldn’t have avoided it, and weirdly it did strike our tower, not the battle going on, but hey ho”
The Charging up of a Mana Weapon was not conveyed to us, or we would have moved. And people give -us- grief for bombing NPC’s…Jaysis, the Hypocrisy is getting weird, like a cult or something. We took the Hit IC, but our retaliation affected -zero- That’s as in -none- Alliance characters. Imagine the fury if we had!
Can I just clarify here, are we saying that player character injury or death (Because they are playing in the setting ) is acceptable by an emote, but wiping out a column of guards with eight tactical Mana Bombs is not?
Just want to be absolutely clear on this. So what is the policy on explosives? Are they too much, How about Dragonhawk flame, which, you were…pretty cool with , Should we restrict ourselves to /Yell Twang.? Utterly ridiculous, and brings the whole thing to the level of ‘Cops and robbers’ “I shot you!” “No you Didn’t, I shot you!” or there is the grown up response of “I Shot at you” “I am unharmed, my Dragonhawk however takes the hit and I feel its pain through my harness” or is the preferred reaction "We handwave it away, no one took injuries from that campaign We’re all OK! Come on, you know better than that…
I’ve no problem with you using mana bombs. I was there at Krasarang remember.
The only reason yours turned into a meme is because people didn’t have an option of RPing with you.
Do we have to take it = no
RP is collaborative, if you don’t want to take the injury, just don’t. If you want to evacuate the tower before it hits, even if the emote says it is hitting NOW, do it.
Back on the actual topic. The main reason I dislike /y gunshot is because it puts an emote in a speech channel, and you don’t know where it comes from.
The way the zones work and your ability to see emotes just makes things like this awkward. So I understand why people do it. I just ignore it.
You need some CHEESE
