Warcraft roleplaying! Yeeha!

[Nachtmahr]

Hello! :)

First of all i'd like to say that i hope that people will liek this idea, i dont need people who necesarily know the Warcraft lore, just the races and such ^^ I wanted to sstart something for a big group of people, maybe 6-7 or more, where people cna ahve multiple characters, within the Warcraft world. It could be awesome, funny, addictive and sexy.

Please post if you like the idea ^^

I'm not going to tell people what they can and cant do in this, i wont stop you in anything, you can do anything from urine or ogres raping gnomes, to beasty, as long as you have fun.

[Ace Flyer]

I wouldn't mind giving this a shot ^^

[Primarch]

I could be interested, depending on the story or general groupings. Would you want the game to be a party that gets a bit overly decadent after a successful day's adventuring? Or more so just sex in a WoW setting?

[Wolfy]

I'm interested. :D

[Xanatos]

I am interested. I would prefer alliance side. Alliance has all of the sexy babes; Night Elf, Draenei, and of course good ol humans. Not much for the short folk though... Oh yeah... Alliance has werewolves now. Forget what they are called exactly at the moment.

[Wolfy]

Worgen.

And Horde has Blood elves! That's something! D:

[Xanatos]

-laughs- Yes Blood elves aren't bad, but they look mostly anorexic. I prefer more meat on the gals and for them to look less like a twig...

[Wolfy]

Psh...Blood Elves and Draenei are the sexiest race. :P

[Xanatos]

I can agree with the Draenei part. The funny thing, despite the Draenei's obvious physical differences, their avatar model is more voluptuous and anatomically correct than any other racial avatar on WoW. The Belfs are way to thin, Humans are just shaped wrong, and the Night Elves just have a bent and malformed waist... >.<

Yes the Draenei are hot, and for good reason; besides their delicious tails and sexy horns mmm... and I like their digitigrade legs. -smirks-

[Nachtmahr]

Oh, nice to see so many people interested! ^^ Well, the idea is basicly a WoW setting, Wow races of your own choice, though the idea of an alliance party isnt bad, and then a lovely mixture of fantasy, adventure, emotions and sex really ^^

[SirHakado]

This sounds like fun, I’d be interested in joining.

Alliance is probably better since Horde has mostly fugly races :P

[Primarch]

I too would prefer to play Alliance

[Kanrya]

ill join in and ill play on the Alliance side also ^_^

[Xanatos]

Cool. Just to make it clear, although I doubt anyone is overly worried, I am not against the Horde but since I am partial to hot races the Horde is left out in the cold on that one save for Belfs. -laughs-


So it looks like we have a bunch of interest. Shall we begin talking plot?

[Nachtmahr]

UHm okay ^^ So, now is to decide who will play what roles i guess? And what has happened and such?

Personally i would like to go for.. uhm.. Maybe a dreanei male ^^

[SirHakado]

I'd like to play a Draenai female myself (Dont judge me :P)

If we're talking class-like roles too, then Mage or Priest preferably.

[Xanatos]

Draenei female paladin for me!! That was basically the only race I played, and the class I have the most experience with. Tankadin/Healadin for the win!

[Nachtmahr]

As being a dreanei male i think i like this already! lol :P

Well i might change my role actaully, i think im going for a simple humal male i think, because like.. All the girls will be tall'er than him xD And im a male because else we'll end up having a lesbo party :P Think i will make him a warrior.

[Rachubka]

Well, you could always have some sort of joint thing, or at least a sort of weary alliance between the two sides to have a blood elf or two along. Guess that really depends on the plot, but still.

[Xanatos]

-shrugs- I could be up for it. The humans would be the most accepting, since they are the ones who dealt with High Elves on friendly terms for generations. Night Elves, and the Draenei would be the least accepting because of their past histories with the Blood Elves/High Elves.

It could be interesting, but remember Blizzard seems to have it out for the Horde and Alliance to forever hate one another. Point in case, the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. The two sides are fighting each other yet again in a full scale war.

Despite what I have said, I am not against the idea if everyone agrees to it. It might prove interesting. 

[Nachtmahr]

Well, say that a worn out group of people, mixed horde and alliance, both having lost big time in some battle against a common enemy. They decide to join forces for the time being, and people suddnely start developing relationships croos-faction ^^

[SirHakado]

I'm... somewhat iffy on that, to be honest.

I mean, Horde and Alliance would sometimes rather die then work together.

Especially some race combinations like Dark mentioned before.

[Rachubka]

Yeah, anything like that can make them come together. Even though as a whole, the races might be fighting each other, that doesn't always mean that the people who are a part of each race feel the same. So anything like a common enemy, a common goal (promises of wealth, adventure, vacation, la de da), a general lack of interest in politics. You know.

Then again, I'm not really a fan of WoW, and only have the basic of basic knowledge of the world. But this is RP, right? We can bend the rules.

[Xanatos]

Agreed. Bend the rules we can. So we basically can accept any Horde race into a group. I am not against my Draenei having a relationship with a Troll or Tauren, not hot on the idea of an Orc though... heh. Oh and only Male Tauren/Troll if it comes to that, no females... icky. lol. I am cool for Female alliances races, just as long as its no small folk, and I am cool with female/male blood elves.

So, if we get any interest for Horde what shall be the reason they got together? Do we want to use the latest expansion to work the solution? With that Black Dragon having arose, he is wreaking havoc now in the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor. He could be the perfect excuse.

[SirHakado]

I suppose so.

Catyaclysm works, I guess.

Deathwing messed the world up something good, it's basically the middle ground between normal Warcraft and Post-apocalyptic.

[Nachtmahr]

Hmm, well, i'm thinking something more simple like.. two war parites both attacking some enemy outpost in the barrens perhaps (A big desert like place with only very few lush places, and you have to be on a constant lookout for raptors and other not-very-nice creatues) And now they have to reach.. gadgetzan perhaps? (Small goblin capital in the middle of a real desert) And then they evnetually assist eachother rather tahn loose more allies. i mean the trip will be long and hard and there would be loads of time for them to develop as persons and develop relationships to eachother.

I think im oging for a male tauren or troll actually then xD

[Kanrya]

ill be a female night elf hunter!!

[Rachubka]

I don't really know a whole lot about WoW to really contribute in this sense. I've played it for a bit, know the general fantasy aspect of it. That's all! lol

[Nachtmahr]

But im open for ideas? I'll be a tauren male then, no doubt, atleast he will have a hard time scoring, but Taurens are either bloodthirsty or very gentle and caring, and they have a sort of alliance with the night elf's druids, making him a decent connection between the two groups.

[Primarch]

I'll make a Night Elf Death knight

[Xanatos]

Maybe... the Tauren could score with my Draenei! lol... maybe.

Anyways, no offense Elyza but your idea is not solid enough in my opinion. To bring the alliance and horde members together, we will need a more dark enemy or situation which forces them together first off against their will, and then the threat will need to remain for awhile to get the bonding going.

Well that us unless we all want to be individuals who do not hold outright hatred like the majority do. I am fine with that to, but it might feel like a cop out. -shrugs-

Were on to something, but please don't take me as trying to dismiss your ideas. Not that, just I would prefer it if the idea felt a bit more realistic. For me at least, I don't know about the others, but I can RP it better if it feels better. If the idea is to weak I am sure my RP would not be very good.

Does anyone else have any ideas to consider? Its just been me and Elyza mostly up until now. The more ideas we get, the more we can meld or get new ideas growing.

[SirHakado]

I agree with you Xanatos.
Maybe it's because I know more about the lore (and I'm Horde in WoW and I want to kill those %^%%ing Alliance gankers, but that doesnt matter for this Rp ofcourse *Cough*)

The one idea I have is that our groups were in Sillithus, in different outposts, when the Sillithids suddenly rushed and took over the towns.

With the towns in ruins and and little survivors, even Hordes would have to work together with Alliance just for a shot at survival.
This also gives us a couple directions to go with the Rp, either find out the cause, or get the hell out and find help before even more places are over-run.

[Xanatos]

Hmm. That might work. Although that idea is faaarr tooo soon. The Blood Elves and Draenei were not added in then. They came in at the Burning Legion expansion. So basically anyone who had already declared Draenei (like me) and Blood Elf is out.

[SirHakado]

Hmm. That might work. Although that idea is faaarr tooo soon. The Blood Elves and Draenei were not added in then. They came in at the Burning Legion expansion. So basically anyone who had already declared Draenei (like me) and Blood Elf is out.

Actually, not necesarilly.

Bend the rules, remember?
Maybe the Sillithid recently (as in post-BC) became more active, and we were sent in to find the cause.
That's then the shit hits the fan.

I think if we're going to make this work, then we need to bend the lore, otherwise it... well, wont.
The only real unifying threat is the Lich King... and look at what happened in WotL... all-out war again.

[Xanatos]

Well that means were ignoring Deathwing. The Alliance and the Horde realistically should not even be able to split their attentions between themselves and the Lich King in the first place... um undead don't need to eat, can be made from any dead corpse, and the magic he wields is insane. He alone is enough to consume all their focus...

Anyways, I am more than willing to accept that one. But you add in Deathwing, the Lich King, the and if you add in Sillithis, the Alliance and Horde would crumble in days or weeks. I am sorry, but thats just simply to much. I know of no nation in real life which has survived fighting three enemies who count as the calibre of the three just mentioned. If the enemies were much weaker, yeah it wouldn't be a stretch.

[SirHakado]

Ah, sorry, I thought we werent going Cataclysm.

And yeah, the war is stupid... you'd think atleast Thrall would be smarter then that.

Sillithis would be without the Lich King (who has yet to extend his grasp outside Northrend, unless I'm sorely mistaken) and Deathwing hasnt ruined the world yet.
That was the assumption I was working under.

I agree with only having one of these be the threat though, else it'd be... far too overwhelming.

[Xanatos]

Well even without the Lich King, your forgetting the Burning Legion itself. They occupied much of the Alliance and Horde armies in Outland. The Alliance would be splitting their focus from an even more deadly enemy than the Lich King. Even the Lich King fears the Burning Legion.

Bending is fine, and something we will need to do a bit of, but unless we completely rewrite WoW lore which would be quite the undertaking, we simply will have to pick a period of time and deal with what is happening at that time and or rewrite it a bit, but we cannot logically ignore so many enemies unless we just write them out.

[SirHakado]

Hmm, I suppose Outlands would be the best compromise in time and place then.

We have Draenai and Blood Elves (but no DK's... which Primarch picked), and then it'd take place in the Outlands.
That way we have one mayor foe, and one that poses a serious threat, one possible of uniting the factions (like at the gateway to Outlands, there's Horde and Alliance holding back the enemies)

And yeah, BC was the time I was least involved in WoW, I tend to forget it's power lore-wise.

[Xanatos]

Ah I see. I came in during BC. I had to learn about all pre-BC from other people or just by doing the quests myself. I also played most of Wrath of the Lich King, minus the raids.

Well lets see what the others think. Maybe Primarch is not dead set on the death knight?

[Wolfy]

o3o Lich king has a lot of power lore-wise too, ya know..o3o

Or we could set this in the future, during Cataclysm. xD

[Rachubka]

Don't forget that this is a little group, and not an entire army. The Alliance and the Horde maybe be splitting their focus, but our group does not. You know what I mean?

Well, again, I don't really know the lore to be really insightful, but I'm just saying it's not necessary to look at the BIG picture.

[SirHakado]

My main reason for picking BC over WotLK is that BC has one really big enemy.

WotLK has both the Burning Legion AND the Lich King, which makes is a double-pronged problem if any foe becomes too powerfull.

[Saerrael]

Tempted tempted tempted. I should pass on it, though >.<

I adore the lore behind warcraft, personally. But it all depends on how deep you wish to dive in the whole lore thing.
There is a lot there..
And both Alliance and Horde have been battling more then one foe at the same time multiple times. Just not Ildarin, the Flights and Arthas all at the same time.

Why not set this in 'current' time? As of yet, we have not seen Arthas and all we really had to battle was more or less what his presence in Northrend has corrupted. (Not to mention the former Lich King, of course.)

I'd propose storming Naxx. It's huge, there are a lot of different enemy characters and a variety of problems one can encounter.

...Still tempted >.>

[Xanatos]

Wolfy, yeah the Lich King has lots of power. But remember, in Frozen Throne Warcraft III, Illidan was charged with killing the Lich King by the Burning Legion, Kil'Jaeden I believe actually gave the order. The Lich King before it merged with Arthas greatly feared the Burning Legion and still does. He is powerful but nothing compared to the Legion.

Anyways, nothing is set in stone as of now. We still have yet to settle on anything. I do agree some plot twisting likely will be needed and BC is fine. Most of us mentioned Draenei or Blood Elves so I think its safe to say anything pre-BC is out. So that leaves BC up to Cataclysm.

[Aiden]

-Adds his wow geek 2 cents-

You guys can't base your story off the game's expansions, since they do not properly line up with the events of the "story (lore)". The reason BC started was because Illidian got bitch slapped by arthas and retreated into outland to reorganize. Arthas is currently in Northrend plotting his next move, amassing his army. Because of him, the old gods have begun to stir awake, so all those threats in the world exist. All that matters is what part your game wants to focus on.

Honestly you guys can have more fun playing a side story in the old world, a small party of adventures who bite more than they can chew. Some of the smaller factions of the game can be just as brutal, the defias, the steamweddle cartel and other goblin cities.

-tucks away his wow rp side-

I'll def keep an eye on this thread and might join, but not as a lame wow shaman, as a warcraft, "I speak to the elements" shaman or as a panderan monk, traveling the world in search for drunken nirvana. Ohh and you will need a Gm to keep the story in mind, once you guys think up of one.

[Saerrael]

I'll keep an eye on this as well, curious to see how it will evolve.

[Aiden]

I also have a original character I Rp'd on the actual wow rp boards.

Gor'ja (Gorejaw) Godhand- Orc rogue, I had lots of fun with him in the past.
-must fight urge...to make "rogues do it from behind" joke!

[Xanatos]

-laughs and facepalms-

TheDevil, just a note Blizzard is putting the expansions out and thus they are in order because thats how they are released. They are knowingly messing with their own lore for money. So only Blizzard can say what is wrong or right. Its an unfortunate reality that a business would willingly ignore their own story for money, but thats the way it goes.

I am fine not using the main plot and doing some side plot but if we do not use something major to galvanize some horde and alliance together, then we are back to the story/reasoning feeling very lackluster. Thats my feeling at least, am I alone in that? I think we all know how great the hatred between the factions is.

I don't think anyone has said outright, including me, whether we will be okay playing characters who do not really hold to the faction hatred. I noted, for me at least, it would feel more like a cop out but I am willing to go that route so people can play horde races if they wish. An all alliance would be much easier to deal with but then some people might not be happy.

One guy wants to be a death knight, so do we want to have this after Lich King or no? He hasn't gotten back if he set on his idea, though, so perhaps we won't need to worry about this or not. -shrugs-

[Nachtmahr]

Outland, BC, thats not a bad idea. We could actually say that our group was combined forces of alliance and horde, sent out by the Aldor or the Scryers, or even the Shattered Sun. Then they would fight a common enemy and work for the same master? Or, since im the only one wanting to play horde, we could just go all out alliance again?

[Xanatos]

Well both are fine. I forgot about the Shattered Sun actually, that would be perfect for getting horde and alliance races into one party.

If we don't end up getting anymore than you for horde, we could just go straight alliance. I am not against either though. Whichever works, just so long as I get to have my tail and horns. -smirks-

[SirHakado]

Shattered Sun always makes me look at the Draenai weerily ;>_>
Them and the Scryers are truly a match made in hell.

To be honest, I think it’d be easiest to just go straight alliance, though for a Tauren Druid… it could be feasible.

Tauren are known for their gentleness (well, SOME of them), and Druids especially have contact with the alliance through the Cenarion Circle (did I spell that right? I may have gotten the name wrong).

[Wolfy]

o3o Hmm...Well if we're going to include horde into this party, I may play a Blood Elf Paladin. :P

Or a Draenei Paladin...yes.."How do my tentacles feel here?" xD

[Brittany]

I hope I'm not out of place here but I was just viewing the thread, as I used to play WoW and I think you maybe need an outsiders opinion.

I think the original poster had something in mind along the lines of playing in the warcraft universe with the races and classes.  A small party, not neccessarily going for Illidan or Arthas or Deathwing.  Not necessarily even all fighters.  Perhaps a group of low level adventurers trying to get from point A to point B, and the character interactions between them.

But then, what always happens when something like Warcraft, LOTR, Star Wars is roleplayed, someone says "lets go upscale, and go after deathwing, KJ, Illidan" etc.

Then you get the "We cannot do that because there were no DK's in vanilla" people.  And eventually the whole thing just doesn't ever get off the ground.

My suggestion is that you simplify it.  Be it a group meeting in a town, or a travelling party through Barrens/Elwynn.  I also suggest you let a little go in terms of horde and alliance being together.  I understand it is hard for some to cope with only a flimsy premise, but in that case perhaps limit it to one faction.

It is just a suggestion though, but I think the original posters idea was very far from roleplaying a raid on Arthas.  Not that that would not also be a good roleplay but you would need to exclude people who were not fully updated on the lore in that case.

Have fun! x

[Chuukun]

Although I'm interested in it, I'm not going to join, still I'll throw my five cents in here:

I gathered that the general consensus is that the Alliance has the sexier women. Well, your mileage may vary, but there is a lot of hot female troll-pron on the net to be found and yup, they can be rather appealing. Same for the orcs. You know, both races have generally hideous faces, save for that one, that single one face that every player seems to have chosen for his/her female orc/troll. One could also make an argument for the Forsaken (see Sylvanas new model), but there's the squicky factor of necrophilia thrown into that...

Then you could also count the semi-races into the mix, like the felblood elves or the fel-orcs, maybe some naga (for people who are into that), the dryads (both normal ones and of the frost variety), vrykul (in case you're into giants), val'kyr and heck, I've even seen people who have expressed an interest in getting it on with the harpies.

Then you have the dragons who can shapeshift in whatever form they want, mostly you'd have Alexstrasza, the MILF of Warcraft, if you consider she has given life to Azeroth.

[Xanatos]

Well from what I have seen, none of us are trying to do a raid against any of the big bads. I haven't gotten that feeling, so I personally do not think its an issue. What I have been doing, can't speak for the others, is just been using the big names to make it easier to talk time period this will be set in. Most people know bad guy/good guy names even if they don't know land/time period names. I was that way myself until I started playing WoW, then I got to know the names of everything pretty well.

As for who wants what and what we go for, so far I don't see much of a majority or consensus on much of anything. So far I think BC stands out as the most agreed upon but then again its only been me and SirHakado who have been talking about BC.

I will do this. I will make a listing of BC and forward periods since most of us want Draenei, that race is a clear majority from the people who have mentioned interest. So to keep all of us happy it has to be BC or later, no earlier. I will make the list in another post to keep it easy to see and not get cluttered up with this chatter.

Now, going back to the raiding slash bosses thing, I agree that we should not be trying to fry the big dogs. That just leads to complaints and general unhappiness. We can easily create some minor villain or use some pre-existing faction or w/e. This is where we will do our own thing, and we don't necessarily have to mess with lore either, we can just ignore it if we really want to.

[Xanatos]

Okay the info below is brief, short and sweet. Its just meant as a very basic idea of what each period brought. If we don't want to get bogged down in the major events thats fine. We can just use this information to add flavor and show that our characters are interacting in a world affected by this even if our party does not take first hand part in it.



Burning Crusade: Introduced Outlands, Draenei and Blood Elves. This can focus on Outlands or on either the Eastern Kingdoms or Kalimdor. Brought us major demon contact, with the Burning Legion being the big bad. Outlands offers more demons and other 'exotic' factions. The two lands of Azeroth offer more traditional things. Anything else I am not mentioning as well.

-Shattered Sun perhaps?

Wrath of the Lich King: Introduces Arthas as the Lich King (yeah I know, not really truly introduces). Brought us into Northrend and introduced the Vyrkul with some one or two other races. Brought us Death Knights.

-Ebon Hand perhaps? These are the good Death Knights.

Cataclysm: Introduces Deathwing as now a boss to fought. Brings in Goblins as playable as well as Worgens. Honestly don't know much more than this, other than that the land has been sundered.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Now, we need to address the faction type. Most of us want alliance. I think at least some of us are okay with having horde mixed with alliance. So what are we going to do? I can swing either way, just as long as its not pure horde.

Alliance only?
Alliance/Horde mixed?

The tauren druid idea could work for getting that race into the mix. If we are going to allow a tauren though, I think any horde race should be allowed though. -shrugs-

[Biles]

Question, is this RP going to be based on some complicated game system? Cause I could never get a knack of it really. Also, anyone saying Orcs, especially females, are fugly, I beg to differ, I just don't like how Blizzard does justice to their character designs. I'm sure female (or futa for that matter) can be made to look like total babes, but without compromising their athletic body structure.

[Xanatos]

That may be true but it would fly against popular fantasy depiction of any orc. Orc's are not meant to look good, they are meant to look brutish. The same goes for Trolls. Blizzard's depiction of Troll's already flies in the face of established looks for Trolls.

I am not saying Blizz is wrong. Just in the case of Orc's I have yet to see any game or w/e else make Orc's look good. I think for most people it would likely be hard to imagine a good looking Orc. It would defeat the point of them being brutish and all warrior like and the other things which define then.

And to your first question, no I believe this is free form, meaning no system. We have yet to even decide which period to put this in. Once we get that, then the rest should fall in line hopefully.

[Chuukun]

Blizzards Orcs are different. They started out as evil, but they are just complicated. They are NOT typical Orcs. It is essentially the same argument with the Twilight-Vampires. People may dislike them, but it is up to the author how to interpret them.

And again, DarkXanatos, this is not your game so quit dictating what other peoples impressions should be like!

[Biles]

[Xanatos]

-chuckles- I am doing no such thing. I simply am making very pointed remarks. I am at this point just trying to get a majority of consensus reached concerning what will be done. Elyza's original idea was to let us, the interested people, decide what he want to do.

-So far Draenei are the majority race chosen thus far, which means it should be BC or later period wise. 

Other than that, nothing really solid has been decided. I am not dictating anything. Just because I have been the most vocal does not make me the dictator. We do need, however, someone who will at least try to form an opinion from everyone, and so far I am one the putting out the effort to try and make this happen.


On that note, is everyone still interested? This has been a bit dead of late. Elyza did want all of us to contribute. That was her original idea. Lets keep this going, I think we can make this a good game. We had a lot of good ideas and we can still use many of them.

-Small adventuring party that does not deal with the big bads.
-Horde/Alliance combined group (this may not work, but if we all still want it, we can make it work)
-We can re-write some things to make it work.
-Any other idea I am forgetting at the moment.

[Biles]

I'm still game, if I get to play a futa orc :D

[SirHakado]

To be honest, I think Horde/Alliance wont really end well.

I mean, handwaving it with 'we're all accepting/different here' seems... too lame a cop-out.
If we really want too, ofcourse, this would be the easiest way.

And it wont be a healthy party dynamic if we're all distrusting, and we'd need a reason we're forced to stick together.
And even then it'd be the Pally with CE Rogue scenario... can work, might end horribly.

But mayority rules... so I'll follow the mayority, ofcourse.

[Nachtmahr]

Okay.. its been a week since i came up with this idea and we've gone NOWHERE.. None of us agree, Dark-jedi-thingie wont allow other people ot have different idea and bla bla bla..Now, i will leave it up ot you, i'm giving up on this thing, if anyone would like to do warcraft RP with me i can be found under the solo section, i just have too much on my mind to focus on organizing this. Sorry.

So, if anyone wnat to do some one-on-one or perhaps 3 people Warcraft RP please, message me or reply in my One on one thread under solo's.

[Primarch]

Considering the fact that outside WoW itself, in the general WoW Mythos, the various races work together a lot, its really not extremely unlikely that our group could get along, especially if its to ward off a bigger threat. It doesn't have to be Arthas level crazy stuff, but lesser undead could suffice. And this is a game, if they can put aside racial differences for a few days, it might be all we need.

I mean really, would it kill us to let people play the characters they want to play for a forum RP? Really? If people want to play Orc's and Night Elves working together (and screwing together XD) would it kill us to provide a plot that would facilitate that?

Horde Group and Alliance Group were on the brink of war with each other, Undead arrive and threaten to wipe them all out, so they put aside their differences for the purpose of saving everyone. Its basic, not very original, but it would let people play the characters they want to play.

[SirHakado]

The only reason the races worked together is against a unifying threat.
Aside from that… there’s still a ton of racism on both sides.
They don’t get along.
Setting it in the WoW mythos is easiest, because likely we know the most about it.

But it could work… theoretically.
But I think interest was kind of killed by the arguments, atleast the silence seems to indicate so.

It wouldn’t kill us, but you’ve stumbled upon the biggest problem using a fully-established setting brings.
Things don’t work together.
We’d have to have a fairly large cop-out for Horde and Alliance to work together.

And if it’s two groups versus Undead, there wouldn’t be much intermingling between Horde and Alliance… because if you have a choice between the people you trust, and the people you have to work together with, who do you stick to?

I’m all in favor of Futa orc x girl Draenai action (Yummy :P), but it’s basically only possible if our characters are either way more open to other races then the standard, or they HAVE to rely on eachother completely.

It\'s basically a handwave.
Could work, might not.

But if there\'s still interest, let\'s put together a group and work out the basics.

[Chuukun]

Umm... guys? The Argent Crusade? You know, that unified front against the Lich King that does not discriminate in terms of race, gender or even class? Wouldn't that be the best vehicle to have all sorts of characters in one place without worrying too much about racism?

[SirHakado]

Any of the \"normal\" neutral factions would work, actually.

Kirin Tor, The Shattered Sun Offensive, etc.
(Wyrmcrest Accord and Kirin Tor might be a little odd, but even they\'d work.)

The main question is where do we want to put the power level, so to speak.
Pre-BC (but with BC races), BC, or Wrath?

Then we can decide on a faction, which would work better then almost anything else.

[Eclipsed Northern Star]

Ooooh Belf DK FTW ^^

[Chuukun]

Okay, the problem is: Anyone wants to play a different race. I've seen draenei, Night Elves, Blood Elves, futa orcs... and death knights. So the only sensible place I'd say we can pick is the Argent Tournament in Icecrown.

The rp would probably start out with everyone getting ready, getting to know each other, maybe really get to know each other at first because there is nothing to do yet (rp starts when the Arena is still being built), then we can arch over to characters meeting in battle which could entail the encounters from the 5-man instance and the raids and then segue into the raid on the Icecrown Citadel.

How does that sound, everybody?

[SirHakado]

While I dont mind the Argent Tournament, it\'s especially made to be Horde vs. Alliance, even if they dont actually kill eachother (See Trial of the Crusader for a good example).

Wouldnt that be somewhat counter-productive to the idea of working together?

[Chuukun]

Actually, no, it isn't. The Trial of the Champion is for merely tjosting and as such is more like a playground. Besides, it is meant also as a way to get those aggressive tendencies out of both parties.

The bossfight against the faction champions in the raid is only there because Garrosh/Thrall insists on it, Tirion originally planned for it to be against "the finest Argent Knights".

And it is meant to weed out all the weaker combatants so that Tirion can lead an elite strike team into the Icecrown citadel, composed of both Alliance and Horde.

[SirHakado]

They beat the everloving shit out of eachother with lances... Merely jousing doesnt seem to do it justice, but perhaps youre right.

In the end ToC does provide its own, seperate reason for cooperation.
The Death Knight prancing in, coming to kick your lilly ass and killing the announcer guy (over and over and over again...) showing how much the Ling King can mess things up for the Horde AND Alliance.

[Chuukun]

Yup. So, what are everyones thoughts on this? Can we agree on the setting being Icecrown, the Argent Tournament and the length of this rp starting at the introduction of patch 3.1. (the construction of the tournament begins), including patch 3.2. (the battle begins in the arena) up to patch 3.3. (raid on Icecrown Citadel)?

[Primarch]

I can run with that.

[Eclipsed Northern Star]

sounds nice but ive seen a whole lot allies but very few Horde side are we going to even out or just run with it?

[Chuukun]

Well, I'd say forcing people to take something other than they want just to even out the numbers would harm the rp more than it would benefit from it. After all, the Argent Crusade is a united front so it shouldn't really matter.

[Primarch]

I could play a Night Elf or a Blood Elf, I'd be happy with either.

[Chuukun]

Alright, I'm trying to put up a character-thread soon. I'm tempted to put it in "NC-Exotic" because some people have expressed interest in playing a hermaphroditic character.

Does anyone want to include something that would require this rp to be categorized as "Extreme"? (i.e. Gore, Vore, Scatplay, Tentacles, Bestiality)

[Primarch]

Would it even be NC? I can't imagine it is, unless people are putting their bodies on the line in a wager, or something to that effect.

[Biles]

Hmm, I'm not so familiar with many expansions sets of WoW even though I have a loose general knowledge about the Warcraft universe as I've only played the main trilogy RTS games. I was hoping this RP would accommodate to newcomers who aren't as versed in WoW, also I was kinda hoping we'd be able to forge out a new entire different scenario all completely.

[Chuukun]

Would it even be NC? I can't imagine it is, unless people are putting their bodies on the line in a wager, or something to that effect.

Well, there is no "Non-non-consensual exotic", is there? ^^ Seriously, a lot of stuff in the NC-categories tends to grow consensual pretty quickly anyway.

And yes, the plot may not cater to everyone entirely new to the WoW-Universe, but I assure you, I will try to make the introduction as easy to grasp as possible. Still, there will be fighting involved and even further stuff, but since this is based on WoW, there should be some knowledge already present.

And yes, we could try to make up a new scenario, but then we would lose ourselves in endless discussions again about how it should be and whether Alliance and Horde should work together. I am willing to take care of this idea, and I consider the Argent Tournament to be a fair compromise to give anyone a way to start off.

For anyone who needs to read up on whatever is referenced, there is this site where you can learn a lot about the WoW-Lore and the classes and the general plot in general. Anyone who is not familiar with it WILL need to read up on it. This is what I deem to be somewhat necessary if one wishes to join a game and knows nothing about, informations should be provided by the GM, but if there are sources for players to learn it themselves, they owe it to everyone involved to do so.

True, although there is the Light Exotic board if memory serves....then again putting one's body on the line in a wager would be amusing, of course, celebrating each night as if its one's last (which is certainly may be, with the whole constant war thing) is amusing.

[SirHakado]

NC would probably be wiser.

I mean, it gives us more options, and what better wager then your own body.
(I mean, all gear is Soulbound anyways, and money is boring :P)

In this case, more options is better, IMO.

And we can let Horde in too.
I'll still stick with my Draenai, probably Mage.

[Treena]

iwould like to play as well eclipse and i can be belf that were taken hostage. preferably i would like to play a belf lock.

[Chuukun]

Alright everybody, I will attempt to set up a general thread with the introduction to the scenario and anohter one including character profile so that we can can start the roleplay soon.

Coincidentally, my guild is raiding now, so if you'll excuse me, I'm busy for three hours now =D So for now, try working over your characters in your head and possible plots.

[SirHakado]

Haha, go Raids!

*Runs Heroic Daily*

[Eclipsed Northern Star]

lol yes and YAY TREENA we could totally have been captured by LK or BK XD or for those who dunno what im saying Lich king and Black Knight XD tis so much fun to be had XD ok ok ok ill calmdown ^^ and scribble down ideas and Character sheet for DKs though there probably won't be to many XD

[SirHakado]

The Argent Tournament already gives us a oppertunity to mingle and party like there's no tomorrow (there might not be, after all :P) so maybe capture isnt the best idea?

Not trying to discourage you, but if you're caught at first you might not be able to do much in the beginning.

[Chuukun]

Little raid-break, so a word from me about that:

The Argent Tournament so far is only the backdrop and its arc (Construction, battles inside and then raid on Icecrown) is only a rough guideline for the overall story. If people want to have their own, somewhat seperate plots, you're welcome to. Although please keep in mind that it might put you at a disadvantage in terms of freedom to roleplay to begin with.

So far, nothing is set in stone though, so scheme all you want and we'll see what we can do about it later on...

[Primarch]

Would anyone have an issue with people RPing use of equipment being on par with gear it wouldn't be in game? Like, some lower level gear looks awesome, while the higher level stuff starts looking ridiculous. As its an RP game, I don't see the harm in using lower level equipment as if it were "a higher level." 

[Rachubka]

I have zero complaints! I just hope to be able to keep up with the WoW mumbo jumbo. I played for a month or so, more or less to ween myself off of FFXI. So that's the extent of my Warcraft knowledge. I'm pretty much only interested in having an Blood Elf / Night Elf hunter. lol

Aaaaaand, I think Primarch forgot about me in the masquerade thread. :( Heeee, just kidding.

[Chuukun]

No. Considering it was often discussed to implement a feature in WoW to transfer the stats of a high-level item to the skin of a lower-level one, I have no objections. Whatever you think looks cool on your character is what he/she should wear.

Btw, I'm about to set up a tentative first Character-Thread, so keep an eye out for it.

[Primarch]

Excellent

Aaaaaand, I think Primarch forgot about me in the masquerade thread. :( Heeee, just kidding.

I forgot no such thing, and I shall post to it before I go to bed, of that I promise.

[Chuukun]

And the Profile thread is up! Please note that I will npc all important story characters that drive the plot, such as Tirion, Jaina, Varian, Thrall, Sylvanas and Garrosh! So those characters are not up for grabs. Anything else is legit though!

Check it out HERE!

[Treena]

lol eclipse. i will talk with you about our characters tommorrow.

[Biles]

Ah great, it'll be awhile for those of us who haven't actually played WoW to ruminate on what is offered in that thread. :D

[Primarch]

*pokes everyone who hasn't put up an app* Waiting on you guys! ;D

[Chuukun]

Indeed. If anyone still wants to join this rp, better do it soon.

[Treena]

sadly ~looks at eclipse with a sad look~ I am not going to rp this time around for a warcraft game.

[Rand]

I'll come up with something tomorrow (I mean Sunday) afternoon or Monday afternoon, Tuesday at the latest, if you're still accepting people.

[Primarch]

Only 2 characters have been submitted, so anything more would be welcome and appreciated as far as I'm concerned.

[Biles]

I still haven't made up my mind as of yet to post a character sheet of my own given that even after reading up on some info on WoW I felt relevant to this RP thread, I've yet to make a decision as of yet. However, I will be gone for a few days, read up on my absence thread located in my sig.

[Kyoudai]

I posted a character sheet in the character thread if you don't mind me joining.  I happen to be a WoW fan, myself, and a fan of the female Draenei. 

[Chuukun]

I don't mind anyone joining, I'd like to have at least two more people joining before I will consider starting this rp. I myself will soon write up my own character sheet and then there'll be one more character to interact with.

[Biles]

But assuming you do get at least two people, you're still accepting applications, right?

[Chuukun]

Of course. It's likey they say, "The more, the merrier.". Plus, the format is built so that players can jump in there at any time, no matter how far the story has progressed already.

[Chuukun]

Little update: In order to reach the number of characters I consider sufficient to start this story, I'll allow two characters per player.

Now, I don't care if they're both Alliance or both Horde or both in the Argent Crusade since there'll be plenty of interaction in between those faction that it hardly matters. The only restriction I'll place on that rule is that those two characters MUST NOT be directly linked to one another, i.e. no siblings, no master and his pet as a character, no lovers, no siamese twins, etc. Else it would be like you'd be playing with your dolls like that...

[Shandragontear]

I'm a World of Warcrack junkie, where do I sign up for this?

[Chuukun]

The profile thread is located HERE!

[Shandragontear]

Awsome thanks a tone!

[Biles]

I"m back guys, can someone speed me up to what I missed so far? I had internet problems the moment I came back from my trip.

[Chuukun]

Nothing, really... still waiting on just one or two more profiles, that ought to be enough. Given that those who had posted them are still interested.

[Biles]

I can't post unless Kate does :(

[BluDragonX]

singe me up I want in as a BE rouge

[Chuukun]

By all means, do sign yourself up.
