Speak your mind: Yap, yap!

[Morgeth]

I get emotional over characters too. You don't even want to know what happens when one of my more loved PnP characters die ;_;

[Krekmar]

I am looking for an excuse to create moar Orcsies, and I am wondering if anyone needs a character connected to their own lore? Like family ties and such? Would love to do something silly like that (yes, I know you haven't heard even the smallest squeek from me in... months(?) but since I failed to get into raiding in the beginning (palaladins are a boar... err, bore) and WotLK wasn't very alt-friendly like Cata will be, so I kinda dropped out temporarily. However, I would like to make a comeback within a... reachable future, at the least, and would like to commit myself to more personal RP, compared to the 'lone-wolf' I've been doing for 4 years now. Just curious 'bout if anyone's been needing anything like't, 'tis all.

[Greggar]

Well, Grimwolf is IC'ly Greg's biological father and once of greg's brothers was Tahachi. Truth is Grimwolf ic'ly was a very bussy orc in his glorious youngher years as scout and saw many female orcs : x

So in truth greg could have so many unknown brothers and sisters from different mothers. Always a spot open o,X

Or you could be one of the bad orc bullies in greg's youngher times on Draenor.

No need to actually do what I just wrote, all up to you really. perhaps someone else has something for you too?

[Mazguul]

Mazguul's only living relative is her father, whom she only remembers as an overly protective, proud git (he never talked of his life before Maz was born (she isn't too sure where though as all she remebers were the internments camps from her child hood)) whom thought his youngest daughter, Mazguul, a bit of a nutter (she hears voices in her head for Grom's sake).

Maz went out hunting and returned a week later to find their village in the Northern Barrens was burned to the ground and all the inhabitants slaughtered. Night-elf bodies were there too, also rotting in the sun with orc corpses (her mother, her sister, her three pups, her mate, her life). Having never found her father's corpse to bury with the others she assumes he is still alive... somewhere... maybe.

That's the short version of it. Um... just a silly idea *nod nod* Aside from that I have no idea - personally I like Greg's idea as it leaves it so open for you Plus, I have no 'need' either, twas just another idea

[Morgeth]

Morgeth has no family, really. I always had the option open that somewhere her father is alive. I'm pretty certain her mother is stone-cold dead but there's a number of other relatives could-be's out there. But mluh, might want to go for something more structured, I suppose.

[Burgorg]

Oh dear god.. Burgorg having a brother... it it would be.... <.< Would he be all the braincells what Burgie is missing or.. Even more.. "Unique" way of thinking..

I am scared of thinking that!... -Shudder-...

"Rockeater"
"Wat?"
"Not you Burgorg the smarter one!"
"Oh yes your Migthy Chieftainess, whos strong words reach my ears like arrows from darkness."
"..What ever you said did not make any sense but, go and patrol"
"I shall run like a lynx and stalk like a panther"
".. Jus- argh GO!"
"I dun' gut wut 'e saus.."
"Me either Burgorg.."

^

That would be scary.

[Krekmar]

Hehe. All of that sounds fun to RP - but just a nod for you all: Thou shalt naught leave it open to Me. That's what I think is the charm, that I'll be taking part of your lore; a character you created. However, knowing myself, I'll probably not be able to find the courage (motivation) to level more than two Orcs until the Cataclysm (with one being a Death Knight), and undoubtably I'd level one during the X-Pack, but that's only three o' 'em. What I'm getting at is that I'd love to take part of several of your suggestions, since I really fancy playing as "someone else's character". So, anyone feel struck with their relative being a Death Knight? Or any of the normal classes (including the post-Cata class Mage, ofc)?

[Krekmar]

Just read through WoW.com's latest [1.Local], and just wanted to share two neat pieces of it that I found enjoyable.

We'll start off with some humour:

"We interrupt this edition of [1.Local] for this declaration on the state of the world post-Icecrown, just in from reader "Garrosh" (whom we suspect may be the Orc himself, given the abrasive use of capslock):

IN CELEBRATION AND HONOR OF THE GREAT VICTORIES THE HORDE HAS AND WILL SECURE UNDER MY LEADERSHIP, WE ARE GOING TO BE RENAMING MANY OF OUR FINE CITIES AND TOWNS:

ORGRIMMAR SHALL NOW BE CALLED GARROMAR
HAMMERFALL IS NOW CALLED GARROSHIRE
THE CROSSROADS SHALL FOREVER BE KNOWN AS THE GARROSHROADS

ALL COMMON OBJECTS SHALL REFLECT THE SUPERIORITY OF THE HORDE. NO MORE REFERENCES TO THE ALLIANCE:

WESTFALL STEW SHALL HENCEFORTH BE KNOWN AS GARROSH GOULASH
STORMWIND BRIE IS NOW CALLED GARROSH GOUDA
DWARVEN SNOW BOOTS SHALL BE KNOWN AS GARROSHES

BLOOD AND THUNDER! LOK'TAR OGAR!

Join us after the break for less caps lock and more reader comments from the past week at WoW.com."


And then a very clearsighted run-down of just WHY Varian Wrynn has valid reasons to be royally pissed on the Horde:

"The lessons of Wrathgate
'This comment gets it,' notes blogger Matt Rossi, 'and should be in [1. Local].' Simply put: we agree.


DragonFireKai: The thing people need to remember about Varian when they say that he should look beyond the past and give peace a chance is that he did look beyond his past and gave peace a chance -- not once, not twice, but thrice. The whole kidnapped-and-turned-into-a-gladiator-by-bloodthirsty-orcs thing? He was on his way to a peace summit with the Horde when it happened. Jaina convinced him to attempt to set up another conference with the Horde. Thrall showed up, brought Garrosh (who was his usual rabid self), and Thrall also brought Rehgar Earthfury, the bloodthirsty orc who had kidnapped Wrynn and forced him fight in Dire Maul. Real smart, Thrall, real smart. Why didn't Wrynn remember to have a necromancer raise Blackmoore so Thrall could get the same feeling?

And to make things worse, the Twilight's Hammer cult decided to use that opportunity to attempt to kill Wrynn, using a mind-controlled orc. That orc was Garona Halforcen, the same orc who stabbed Wrynn's father through the heart before his eyes as a child. That looks real bad for the Horde there. But Wrynn decides to take the high road, and rather than declare war on the horde, he focuses the Alliance's efforts against the Scourge, forsaking true peace in favor of detente. But the Forsaken strike, dealing a crushing blow to the war effort, killing thousands of Alliance soldiers in Howling Fjord, and thousands more at the Wrathgate, including Bolvar Fordragon.

Even so, Wrynn decides to make a surgical strike on the Undercity. In the Undercity, he's presented with the full extent of the machinations of the Horde, and who does he find standing in the Undercity's throne room, fresh after this discovery? Thrall, with a small army behind him. Yeah, that looks real good for the Horde. Especially since dreadlords don't leave corpses, so he can't know that they just finished off Varimathras.

The true irony of the situation is that Varian Wrynn was long the most moderate of the Alliance leaders. After the defeat of the Horde in the second war, the accepted plan was to execute every last orc on Azeroth. No survivors. Wrynn convinced the alliance leadership to simply contain the orc in internment camps. King Terenas wanted to kill them all, King Greymane wanted to kill them all, Lord Proudmoore never stopped wanting to kill them all, Magni agreed after the siege of Ironforge, King Sunstrider wanted to kill them all.

The lone dissenting voice was that of King Wrynn, the man who had lost more to the orcs than any other, convinced the Alliance to let the orc live. And yet, the actions and inactions of the Horde since then has been enough to convince the most tolerant of the lords of the Alliance that they are a threat to the survival of the Alliance greater than Yogg-Saron. Not all of it is the Horde's fault directly -- but a large amount of it is."

[Morgeth]

"GARROSH GOULASH" Gihihi. *snicker*

Aaand I have a home exam, for a week! Whoop!

[Vargosh]

Ah oh boohoo poor Wrynn. <.<

I reckon Terenas did not mind having them captived. Blackmoore enjoyed it real good.

And as it said, HE CAN'T KNOW they killed Varimathras. He bases eveyrthing on false fact, that Varian. :<

I'll never give him any sympathy. D:

[Morgeth]

A big thank you to this guild and its members for providing me with such good RP for more than a year.

[Burgorg]

No..
Thank you!

[Kozgugore]

And a big thank you for being there for the poking as a cheeky thief, too! *Pokes violently*

[Mazguul]

Yes! Thankies, Morgeth! And to everyone else too

On another topic... this piccie just makes me wanna level my shammy asap! Meet the possible new Mazguul

http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/2318/shammymazzy.jpg

Curses for levelling taking so long! *cries*

[Vargosh]

It hurts, doesn't it?

A certain class can look so hot, if they have high level.

If leveling was easy I'd have a human paladin and an orc shaman and undead rogue and.. yeah I can keep going. ;p

BUT! I'll help you if you need it Maz!
