Tarren glances at the application, letting out a long sigh as he turns to read it. "I'm afraid to inform you that Golem Industries has been disbanded in accordance with the new laws passed within the Grand Kingdom. I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. - Former El Presidente Tarren Starreaker. ((I completely forgot about this, terribly sorry! This guild is no longer active with the recent changes to runesmithing, and the Grand Kingdom policies. Again sorry for any inconveniences. Can a FM please archive this?))

I think Lago summed it up pretty nicely. At the end of the day if you guys want ditch the snow elves that's your right. If people want to continue it, then that's fine. I'm afraid I don't really see the point in this post, excuse me for being blunt here. If you and your group wants to stop doing something because it's no longer fun, go for it. I just do not see the need for a forum post over this. Ultimately to contradict myself a tad here it doesn't matter what myself and the rest of the playerbase think. Since this is obviously something important to your group (considering you made a post about it), just decide amongst yourselves/decide for yourself. Instead of letting the majority choose for you, since down the road it'll only make you resent people. To cut this short, just ignore the poll and make your own decision if you want to quit playing a Snow Elf.

I think the video below illustrates what happens when you give people too much freedom. People get "creative". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C_HReR_McQ

Problem is, that normally it isn't so clear cut. There are many grey areas, such as actions of individuals or a small group within a nation. The nation could deny responsibility for that group, for example a group of bandits. But the other nation doesn't have to accept this, because it's down to perspective. Eventually leading to the old arguments of : "But X did this! And Y did that!" Another problem is bans, why do we even bother threatening people with them anymore? They mean absolutely nothing these days. Since people can easily just get an alternate account or simply wait the short period that normally is a ban. So it anything seems more like a reward, a week break rather than a punishment. It would be more effective to take more in game solutions, such as restricting access to plugins or turning them into wandering souls. But again these issues might be for another thread. For now how about the duration of the raids being 1-1 1/2 hours long? I mean to be honest, it's not like the citizens have to be in the city during the raid. The map is huge, there is always some place to roplelaying in it. In regards to time, how about also once every 3 days? A week sounds long, I mean I agree we need rules for when nations can't agree to make their own. But a week waiting, doesn't make people realise they're at war and war is a bad thing. Not fun wise, but morally. The whole forced warclaim thing, nah... I don't say this because I belong to X, Y or Z. Forced warclaims always make people rage, causing more drama than is needed. Nation leaders need to sit down and agree on things before going to war, if they can't handle that then they don't deserve to be able to go to war. Sounds harsh, I admit. But if you can't handle going into a single battle without being at each others throats. Doesn't that show you're not mature enough to handle such a simple mechanic?

Tarren scowls at Ellsia and Dwain, as he mutters to Dared. "This is for science! How can they be so conceited and to think that only runesmithing and golemancy on it's own is enough? It is important to think of the possibilities we can do with our abilities, rather than focus alone on the prestige that comes from our abilities. ((Updating post now, I'm currently writing the first major event up which will be "Test Subject Alpha". Please look forwards to it! Any questions you may have, feel free to message me or nalatac. In game, forums or skype.))

As Hiebe stated, no more sons of Urguan. It helps keep stability, not to mention saves us a lot of issues with people claiming they have things from Urguan because they're a son, ect. I would be more of a lost clan with it's founders father not known. Like most clans are these days. The way it works there are eight sons of Urguan. But Dwarves in rp state seven, calling the eight (the Ironborn) the "Forbidden son." Saves us a lot of issues that way, rather than everyone claiming they are Urguans sons. Changing things to suit their clan, such as making out they were favoured with gifts or abilities, ect. Cliff Dwarves, can just be the characteristics of the founder dwarf. Doesn't need to be a son of Urguan. Personally I'm against this, seeing I don't really see the point in another subrace. It just further divides the playerbase, which to be honest isn't as big as people think. But go for making a clan with this culture. I just feel that the forest dwarves tried the whole, "we're isolated." It doesn't work, the Dwarves have shown that they want the subraces/clans to interact to mesh in their cities. Not for one of them to kinda go off on their own. Edit: Just a note with subraces, take the recent Doomforge or the Thunderfirst wierd mutation. You don't have to be a son of Urguan to have "unique traits". Could come from simple evolution, or mutation.
