So evil-looking it's gotta be a crime...

There are days when I wish guard guilds were actually respected in the RP community.  (Yes, I know, it'd be nice if they were respectable, too.)  But for guard guilds to be allowed any kind of welcome, people like this would have to acknowledge the IC consequences of their choices--and we can't have their delicate feelings being hurt:

Well. That description's about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the ballsack.

I'm a bit confused about how her face could be pointed up, while she's staring at the ground. And I'm with you, Lurky. I think there's a bit of a flaw in her logic there, too. If you don't want to give away your position by using your excess energy, venting it directly into your surroundings is NOT the way to go.

Also, did you happen to visit that tumblr thingie?

[lurkythespork]

I haven't. Should I? I'm kind of afraid.

[lurkythespork]

I just did.

I think I hate you now, but...I hate her more. MY GOD, MY EYES!

I'm... not entirely sure why anyone would want to read a player's random bitching and moaning, or why the first post claims that their friends goaded them into making the journal. I... I don't -think- any of it is IC, but it's a little hard to tell.

And that screen shot manip. Why? Have my traumatized icon, good show.

Is this gal trying to play a blood elf or a night elf? A blood elf is most definitely not welcome in the Alliance cities, and other night elves would sooner murder a night elven warlock than tolerate one.

Either way, the minute she strides into town, a gross-looking skull tied to her belt, smelling like demons, wafting evil energy everywhere and followed by a bloodthirsty little uncontrollable robot, she should get pounced on by the guards.

Sigh. I find these characters frustrating not because of what they look like, but what you said- they completely disregard the concepts of common sense and law. I've seen people actually mention in their emotes how the NPC guards just walk by them as they cackle manically with their demon at their side. I also got accused of godmoding and ignored by one of these people once for emoting my paladin shooting a bolt of holy energy at someone's felhound. Not that it hit the felhound, just that he attacked it

And then people wonder why I'm so skeptical when people start jumping up and down and cheering, "You should totes transfer to WRA because it's sooooo much better!" If it's the same culture, it's going to have the same problems.

I think they only thing WrA really has over any other server is that people aren't rubbing their sexual fetishes in your face all the time. The worst our ERP flags get is usually a description of the character's bust or how big its package is, or that they're wearing a leather collar or something. Actual 18+ wall-of-text porn flags are very rare. They exist, but you can go quite a while without seeing one

I have a Troll warrior on WrA. I stopped RPing her (after I got to 85) because of behavior like this. My troll doesn't like/trust anyone that she doesn't know already. I got yelled at for questioning why my Darkspear RP guild was accepting applicants who RPed as Amani and flamed as an elitist who "hod no concept of Troll lore". I give up. I don't think I'm ever going to find an RP community that is highly horde active. I've since gone to a normal server.
