Apparently cream cheese is rather nice on brownies.

If they say they are a wood elf looking for a home, they're let in. It's pretty simple, really. The same goes for the high elf and dark elf cities.

In that case it's obvious we're looking at this from completely different perspectives. It makes utterly no sense for the characters who live there not to do what they can to keep murderers and thieves away from themselves, and walls are the most obvious and logical solution. Rampant crime was the biggest reason Malinor no longer exists. If the new elven nation is going to thrive, it's going to have to work very differently. I know it can suck to be blocked out of certain groups or areas, but it's the price you pay when you play a villain. (I can talk, I play a cannibal...) Neither of these solutions would work. Most of the orcs that attacked us claimed to be independent of the orc nation, so diplomacy won't keep them from waltzing in through an open gate and attacking people. And blocking someone from RP through OOC means (telling them to go away in l-ooc) is far worse than blocking them out with an RP wall, not to mention against the rules. Yep. Can't win 'em all, I guess.

By 'unwanted RP' I'm pretty sure most people simply mean RP that our characters would naturally want to avoid, like excessive villainy. We did leave the Lin'ame gates up during the early building process, but were frequently attacked by orcs, mages, golems, and bandits, so now they stay closed to keep them out. Constantly having to drop what we're doing to remove threats halts any progress we were making in either building the town or RPing with its prospective residents, and as many people have pointed out many, many times - if you don't like villainy or raids, learn to defend yourself. Walls work. So long as there is someone manning the gate new wood elves looking for a home are let in. People who look like they'll cause trouble, or have proven they'll cause trouble by their actions, won't be. Also, please keep in mind that right now wood elven RP is 'fragile' in a way. We're still a very new settlement. Though things have been going fantastically so far, I think it's understandable we'd want to shelter this RP style as it continues to develop.

For all its gritty medeival realism, there seems to be a lot of religious tolerance in Game of Thrones.

As others have said, the elves are doing quite well for themselves. While at a passing glance they might not seem like a unified 'nation', we are, in fact, united and have a working system. I would even dare to say we're better off than we have been in a year or more, and are still improving even now.

Wood elves are both less racist than high elves, and led by a woman. Welfs > Helfs > Everything else.

The Lack Of Sophistication In Wood Elves
Birdwhisperer replied to thenutcase84's topic in Denied Lore
If you were in the right place, I'd also like to note that the city is not done yet. When more of the actual buildings are constructed, there will be a lot more trees and plants around. And I have no idea who lives there that talks like that. Do you remember their RP names? -

Prebuilding in 4.0 seems to have messed up all the current political RP, because people already know where they'll end up and won't deviate from it even if it would make sense in the present...
-
-
To be fair, the prebuild kingdoms in 4.0 are always subject to change and some of the nations have already had their leadership changed and/or forfeit their land completely.
It is definitely an unfortunate side-effect though - that people are metagaming.
Our only other option would be to kick everyone off who's working on nation territories until the last few weeks of the fringe - what would you have us do?
