Ooc: Orcish Roleplay Ideas, Brainstorming And Q&a

[Urahra 5781]

Just trying to come up with ideas here.

We could always have some sort of event to draw a crowd, like the festival of Krug.

Conflict = RP. Shove a bunch of pinkies together with orcs and something's bound to happen. Probably violence.

We could also always rig the Rex Klomp and put someone stupid or corrupt in charge. Have that person declare war on all nations at once. Embezzle, waste resources, harass people. But that would sort of be meta gaming. There would need to be a few orcs dishonorable enough to cheat and who would support a guy that corrupt. Maybe he promised them power. He could also overturn the new system and make himself Rex for life. Some orcs might revolt. That would create RP.

Of course, I've heard a lot of orcs say they hate political stuff like that. So, I don't know.

Have Festival of Krug--->Invite pinkies--->Inform the Pinkies that the Festival is a celebration of all the Pinkies Krug slew--->???--->Profit.

"Oh, this punch is so delicious! What is it made of?"

"Halflin' bluud."

*spit take*

I also recall when Bog and people got possessed. I was with Vuugush below the Rex Palace the other day, near that creepy tomb thing, and he started shaking and vomiting like he was possessed.

I also have an "Evil Urara" skin. Could get possessed by an evil spirit. Start messing up Strigzgoi. Or it might be fun to interrupt the aforementioned festival with evil spirit shenanigans.

Remember that Corruption thingy where Bog turned red? Maybe we could bring that back for a week ;3!~

I LOVED the corruption thing. :D I think it'd be great to revive.

Honestly, what we need to do is to actually RP with each other. Hell, most of us have perms so we can RP burning down a home with plenty of orcs to see and help. You have to create your own RP. I was walking down and I saw people building the Rex Palace, I said something they didn't response. It's more or less we're the problem and we should be able to create RP ourselves. We can honestly do anything. Most of us Play to Win, we don't like loosing. I.E, the plague. We had suits in an instant, why would we use these suits in the first place? Meh. We should begin doing RP and cut down on a lot of the OOC, it's much funner that way. We can still do things in TS, although that shouldn't stop us from RPing with each other.

[Aislin 4354]

Try catapulting yourself into a house. Do random ****. That's what orcs do, and that's why we're fun.

[Noahjam325 53]

I have to agree with the OOC. Urara, Blawharag, and I were doing a search across Strigzgoi for the "missing" Shurr'dru intestines. A lot of orcs just walked by without even saying anything. I remember even saying "Ug" to a few of them and just getting ignored. I agree that I notice that Teamspeak will be bustling with activity, but people are either just offline or idling.

Blawharag and I are currently working on a fun idea that hopefully other players will come and partake in.

[Urahra 5781]

All right.

I was saving this idea for when I was Rex, but that may never happen, so I might as well share it. I'll do anything to help the orcs at this point. I want to get us back up off the ground.

I had the idea of meeting with the leaders of each friendly nation and asking them to give us land for a camp near their capitol in exchange for an embassy in Strigzgoi. Then, we can connect all the camps with Fast Travel. Thus, orcs will be able to interact with non-orcs and we'll be able to get quickly around the world. We'll need a "Fast Travel" hub in Strigzgoi, but I think that's doable.

We can also become semi-nomadic, if we want, and go from camp to camp while storing our things in Strigzgoi. I think this would encourage RP via forced proximity with other nations and forced proximity with each other. If you stuff enough people into one space, they HAVE to RP. That's why Aegis worked.

It'll take work and time to set up, but if we can get it done, we'll have easy interaction with other nations, plus more concentrated orc RP.

I say we have one at cloud temple, one at Renatus and one at Mount Ire if they allow it. This will give us access to most areas of the map, and too many camps will hurt us more than it will help. Hell, maybe even cut Renatus.

[Blawharag 277]

Actually, I have the opposite feeling Aislin. More camps the better. The problem is, even from Renatus you are still virtual lightyears from the closest other nations. The problem is, we are just too spread out. Sure we could walk to the elvish nations, they are the closest of all of the nations. That being said, I do not walk to the Elvish nations. Why? Because after I blow all that food just to get over there as well as a 20-30min walk, I might get 10 mins of RP out of it. Sure, I would rather have 10 mins over 0, but I don't want a half hour walk to get that. The more fast travel we can have the better. The less we have to walk to get to our RP, the more time we will have for RP and the less wait we have to do for it.

[Urahra 5781]

I don't know which nations are friendly to us or not, but I'm sure our allies would give us camp space. And connecting them all to Strigzgoi should be all right. We'd be the first nation with a Fast Travel hub! That might even attract others to Strigzgoi because we have instant travel all over. We'd have a train station! Except with giant scorpions!

Blaw and Gragarn and I all talked about it yesterday. The world is too big, so we have to shrink it with fast travel. We have a chance to make Strigzgoi a transportation hub for our allies, instead of a ghost town.

[Austin 697]

I agree with Mylas on his point, we have to create RP not expect it to be served to us on a silver platter. For example the other day I took Mogroka's grandcub and said that a prophecy written by Krink stated that he would be a fantastic Shaman, blah blah blah. Since it's a prophecy it doesn't have to come true or even happen but it certaintly created some great RP.

[Noahjam325 53]

Like the others have already said. The world is too big, and is one of the reasons I feel the RP is lackluster. You have to expend your entire supply of food and over half of your free time just on traveling. That is a major problem for me, and I think a lot of other players. The world is so big that by the time you've expended all your food and reached your destination you have to log off and take care of responsibilities in real life. Fast travel is the only way we can currently fix this problem.

[bungo 3965]

I can see Pros & Cons to Fast Travel, do we want random humans traveling into our city? Would it be outside of the city like the one that come from spawn? If anything, we can have a camp outside of Stritzgoi where we breed all of these Jabbernaks and where we can have a trade-hub. A small trading village.
