Weeblie - 11/23/2006 8:36 AMThe link was indeed about the drow, but most of the comments can be generalised to all the "racial dislike".
Pseudonym - 11/21/2006 7:48 PMBut Vyris, if you take away the endless rehashing of old threads what am I going to do at work? (Other than work that is)*goes off to contemplate starting a thread complaining about meta-gamers and power-levellers . . . or maybe one thanking the GM team . . . maybe a count to some arbitrary number . . . *
Witch Hunter - 2/7/2007 5:48 PMFollowing your idea of a Toranite then.. he should let a drow war party in town as long as they don't attack anyone?There's bliss in ignorance, and that leads to deaths. if he lets them in town just because they didn't do anything wrong he will be lowering his guard and letting them attack from within.Drows are a backstabbing race, everyone knows that - I believe people grant them trust WAY too fast.It's just like saying "Hey that Balor hasn't killed anyone... yet, let's be his friends"
Lilswanwillow - 2/7/2007 4:26 PMyou know, I'm trying.. hard.. to RP hatred.but every time I do, I have 10 people jumping on me telling me that I need to accept them. some say that they have also helped stop the attacks on HlintI am very frustrated
15) When the first phase of V3 rolls out the following races must start out as CN, TN, NE, or LE: Dark Elf, Half-Orc, Half-Giant, Half-Ogre, Orc, Goblin, and Duergar. a) These races will start in their own location that is separate from the other races. b) Hlint will no longer be the starting location and we will have two starting locations, by race & alignment one for the races and alignments listed above and the other location for all other races and alignments. c) However both starting locations will be somewhat close to each other in order to allow the community interaction. d) The only Dark Elves that will be allowed to start off as good-aligned are Clerics of Az’atta and this character will likely be able to choose their starting location. We might allow that in more cases, time will tell as this is not yet implemented.
Witch Hunter - 2/7/2007 6:29 PMThe NPC guards should react hostile to a new Drow in town, but they don't - because they're computer controlled, if the local guard was actually people I'm sure the reactions towards a new drow would be VERY hostile.Drows are a tricky race, sending a spy to infintrate the city is something possible by them.If we're talking about good Drow who want an opportunity - lets look at the cheesiest, and first case of them all: Drizzt.The father of Drow PC's never had that chance, he proved himself without marching into a town on his first day on the surface did he? but it's an example I hate to give as everyone dislikes Drizzt in reality Regardless, a good drow is 1 in a million (although we have quite a few) and I see no reaosn to trust any drow that enters town.Let me sum up what I have to say: a Toranite shouldn't be suspiscious, he should be hostile - he should think about all the children that might die incase his judgement proves wrong, and everyone knows a good drow is as rare as...well, a good drow.Taken from the race page of the drow:"they are feared and hated by all the races of Layonara. They are masters of magic and treachery, trusted by none, not even each other."QuoteLilswanwillow - 2/7/2007 4:26 PMyou know, I'm trying.. hard.. to RP hatred.but every time I do, I have 10 people jumping on me telling me that I need to accept them. some say that they have also helped stop the attacks on HlintI am very frustratedEXACTLY the point im trying to make.
