BM General Discussion / Re: "Elves"?

« on: August 09, 2012, 11:35:39 PM »

My personal take is being elven are a culture, not a race of pointy ears. People have an ingrained impression stereotype of what it is to be an elf. As soon as that changes there won't be an issue.

Can't you just go and take Moreks food? Wars are fun?

That's really a very stupid and not even vaguely helpful thing to suggest. Aside from the fact that appointing dukes has nothing to do with me, obviously this person wouldn't have been appointed if we'd known they'd just disappear. They were a respected and previously active former ruler with no history of this type of thing. But hey. If you feel like lending me that crystal ball you apparently have, feel free.

Theres also a thing called a steward for this very occasion.

Or, you know, from a "the city is starving and losing thousands of people and there's !@#$ all we can do about it" perspective.

You could plan ahead better and appoint lords that will move their food around.

Though I wish we could loot our own regions for food. If a lord won't sell his food, just send in the army and take it.

Who's brilliant idea was that? Sartan already has a realm, its called Sorraine. We need that infiltrator realm to serve the Arcaean empire.

The turning point was when the daimons shifted the focus to Thalmarkin. If Thalmarkin fell the island would have fallen with it. None of the other realms would have managed to put up as much of a fight as Thalmarkin did, except may Riombara but they were alone in the south. Turning Thalmarkin into the focus allowed all the human realms to gather in one place to combine their strength.

Pretty sure the hero thing is just a rumour and never confirmed. People assumed that if the hero is fighting in the front lines that it is more prestigious and honourable.

Love. Random death generator for people who don't want to just kill off their characters.

Do guns kill people? Or do people kill people?

A symbols meaning only has as much meaning as you choose to give it.

You are right in that the meaning of a symbol is subjective, which means if people find it offensive, then it IS offensive to them, you can not tell them otherwise.

We all know the historical meaning behind it, no one is challenging that, this is not the issue I see here.

I think its beautiful.

And other people do not. You are playing with other people, you do not get to do whatever you like.

I will try to put warnings on RP around sensitive topics so people can choose to read or not read as they wish.

H/P is still gained as it used to be, in fact it is gained quicker than it used to be at lower levels. It is only after you reach most of the thresholds required for classes and positions that the rate of gain starts to slow.

Battlemaster is a game that really opens up and has tons of depth as you play it. However the idea is that things open up slowly and gradually a bit at a time. The priest and the diplomat game are not what battlemaster is about, they are add-ons to increase depth of the main game. It is not something you jump into because the game is different and frankly much more boring. This is why those H/P requirements are in place. Discovering new things and more areas of the game is what keeps me playing.

The real issue here is that realms aren't going to war as much as they used to.
