Orc Speech Reformation (Proposal for Trial)

[_Jandy_ 3519]

It's fine how it is and if it changes I'll keep speaking the old way.

I thought Uruks were diminished to this ignorance and sense of bloodlust that has eroded rationalization as well as competence for things like speech though because of being the one to see through Iblees persona originally? I thought this was a consequence of the curse they face... am I wrong or not? Wouldn't it kinda defeat the purpose of this key element of lore explaining for the anatomy of this descendant? If I'm wrong just tell me I tried.

Orcs are not ignorant of anything. They have a curse of blood lust and a blessing of Honor. Krug was not a fool nor any of the Children born by him, its a common misinterpretation in roleplay. Ologs have me dead though lol

I would prefer if this was encouraged for new orcs as I have been playing orcs for a while now like some others and prefer the blah way of talking and are overal accustomed to it. Due to the recent seperation of orcs, I would not be surprised if some orcs adapted towards common but I think it should just be a suggestion for some orcs. For example, RinRaguk, Slothtastic, and I have been playing orcs for a long time. Eight months for me. We all can understand and speak Blah fluently. So, this should be a SUGGESTION for NEWER orcs to use if they wish.

Personally, I think the barrier to entry is very easy to get past. Everyone saying that blah is stopping them from playing an Orc... just give it a shot! It's been quite some time since I've actually roleplayed as an Orc, but all the players then were incredibly welcoming. Trying to learn and incorporate a language into your speech is a bit difficult at first but it grows much, much easier in time. Really, all you need to know is like 10 basic words and you're good to go, the rest is just spelling words as they sound rather than how they're spelled, or at least that's how I've always done it. That's the great thing with accents, you can go as soft or hard as you want. I've played with Dwarves that have just the slightest bit of accent, while other sounds like they have a mouth full of marshmallows. No one is going to rag on you for not speaking 100% perfect blah or Orcish accent.

This also might come in handy in raids when we're meant to come off as scary, but we come off as mongs

While Bloodlust can and has caused many areas of educated society to erode, their base intelligence has not been influenced by the curse. It's purely one of uncontained rage, since Iblees knew that coupled with their natural strength, it would cause devastation.

I think it's time for a strawpoll

It's really not about the orc players, or the blah being hard to learn and talk. It's an extremely easy language, just some messing up of the language and like 10 key words to remember. If I understood correctly (I rarely do), It's more about what it makes newbies think of orcs. A frightening bulk of dumbness? Heck no, let's be a normal human. Orc rp can look intimidating at  first, which causes the massive number difference between some races.
