Title: hands across layonara
Post by: teefal on July 16, 2005, 08:21:00 AM
just kidding with the topic title :)

Seems we got some real passion going with this Drow and other stranger business:

topic: Drow (http://'http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=15458&start=1')

topic: amazement (http://'http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=15433&start=1')

topic: racial profiling (http://'http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=15492&start=1')

topic: hatred (http://'http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=15566&start=1')

Sounds like it's time for a town meeting in-game ... a messy one, with possible real outcomes, like banning Drow from town, or more tolerant outcomes, like punishment for discrimination.  Might even be some faction way to prevent strangers from getting into Hlint .. closing its borders, with NPCs saying "Go away" until they change their faction.

Faction: "Unknown Drow"

Faction: "Accepted Drow"

(I don't really know how factions work, but it's a thought.)

My character Teefal would jump right in, working on behalf of the Drows he's gotten to know, helping them organize .. going in and out of town for them ... sorta like an Underground Railroad or Shindler's List thing.

Either way, there's a great deal of interest here ... let's RP it!   Convene the High Council :)

I think, before you do this, we get all of the people playing Drow and ask them what they want OOC.

Then, I think we would need a GM to be there considering that the majority of Hlint's population are not our player characters.

Ooooh! Sounds fun, the only bad thing is that if the Drows would get banned is that I wont get to play Creature at the inn *cries a little* But it would be fun!

Well, if Drow were officially banned, they would just have to wear better disguses.

And I figured one of the GMs would do that.

Taking out the bank might make some people mad.

*snickers* given the responses on the posts about Drow, it doesn't sound like the Drow have to do anything but just show up!  ;)

However, poisoning the well or otherwise destroying it would make many annoyed (or has that been done?)....

I believe that people should gather angry mobs and march against Blood's armies to let off some steam, how does that sound? ;)

Bank robbery... definitely.  All accounts reset to zero, we'd have a score of them strung up before breakfast.

We need the Layo equivillant to UN, except for the various factions instead of countries.lol.

Cole fought and killed Drow when they took out Spellgard as well as when he was in the military at Blackford, but he's never gotten the chance to put together a Drow-tooth necklace (he's got an ogre, several giant, and, of course, a goblin-tooth necklace).  Maybe this'll finally provide the opportunity.   ;)

two more to add to the list at the top of this topic:

topic: in game racism and real life racism (http://'http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=15714&posts=19')

and

topic: Spitting on a drow (http://'http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=15697&posts=21')

and a good one that seems an answer to this topic:

A near race riot in Hlint (http://'http://www.layonaraonline.com/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=15718&posts=3')

I play a goblin, and would not mind having to work up faction to be accepted to certain towns!

Would be great if Drow were banned from a couple or
several towns/cities. Though the towns/cities don't
need to be ones that are frequently visited by players
Like Hlint, Port Hampshire etc. Not just drow, add other
mistrusted races to that, such as Duergar, orcs etc.
