Race Approval

Not too long ago me and PoJo skipped over to Valikorlia as two Zorbies. The community spent the entire time just trying to tell us why Zorbies aren't real creatures, but something like a Vampire, or a 'water nymph' is. I'd like to know what a race needs to have in order to be acceptable to the Valikorlian public.

Honestly. Someone go search 'confused with love graal' on Youtube. Me and Rogpog RP'd on Valikorlia and made a video. He was a cat. But that's an okay race.

Zorbi's should be a universal Graal race. I am not sure, but I think if you go to the Val site you can petition to have them added.

Petition, sweet.
We explained to them that removing Zorbies was removing a piece of Graal itself from Valikorlia, but they consider themselves separate. They just wanna stay under their rock.

They don't care about "removing a piece of Graal" and I wouldn't either if it was on Valikorlia.

An autonomous robot and an anthropomorphic cat told me my swim bladder concept, which exists in real world fish, would not allow oceanic creatures to exist on land. Meanwhile "hey man you can be a giant frog, but you'd have to 'get in the water every few minutes' to stay alive".

I don't understand how that would prevent fish from existing on land.

To get a race approved, you must write an approval request. An example page is provided on the official Valikorlia wiki (which I hope I'm allowed to link to; I monitor the wiki pretty regularly, so nothing inappropriate should be found): http://www.valikorlia.com/wiki/Race_Example_Page

This is a category of all the approved races on Valikorlia, though most of them aren't played. Bear in mind that express approval by Roleplaying Administrators may be required to roleplay a certain race: http://www.valikorlia.com/wiki/Category:Races

You can be any color of human you want. 'Black' skin is usually attributed to Meridiem (a southern continent on Val), or various southern port-towns. 'Mexican' is usually attributed to Tower Town, I guess -- that's our southwest-style desert area. Brown skin, though, can come from any number of desert places on Val.

I don't know what "Zorbies" or "Woopers" are, but Val has like 50 races, so I'm sure we have the equivalents.

Evidently not, as the entire concept of "fish on land" seemed alien to Val. Even when it was possible in real life.

Valikorlia is split in to two groups: the realists and the fantasy players. It depends on when a race is proposed... if it's during a time when most people want the server to be more 'real' or when most people are fine with crazy fantasy races. "Fish on land" would have to be proposed during the latter.

I'm no biologist, but I am pretty sure Zorbi are more realistic than an elf. This is all based off of certain fish who do live on land though. They can't really walk though.

"Fish on land" sounds much more unrealistic than "humanoid with pointy ears". Not to mention that elves are a fantasy staple. I've never heard of Zorbies outside of Graal.

If any of you are actually interested in playing Valikorlia (which I don't think you are), then we have plenty of races to choose from. We don't really want to establish more, especially if they're pretty over-the-top for a 'medieval' fantasy roleplaying server.

Don't assume things, me and Pat very much so wanted to play Val, but between being met with hypocrisy and people being difficult, we, or at least I, had to leave.

And I've seen a lot more fish move around on land than steam punk robots.


I think Val's just not interested in new players

Val was great when Jesse ran it, but since it went to clash (who killed it) the server has been in a downward spiral.

Why exactly did you want to play Valikorlia? Did you have an interest in text-based roleplaying, or did you log on just to log on? Without an interest in writing and text-based roleplaying, you aren't going to enjoy, understand, nor fit in on Valikorlia.

Warforged are not steam-punk robots? They're not even robots. They're sentient constructs, similar to golems.

The simple answer is that fish-people, or whatever it is you're talking about, are too extreme for Valikorlia.

There are about 3 years and 3 managers between Clash and now...

The simple answer is that fish-people, or whatever it is you're talking about, are too extreme for Valikorlia.
Yeah, that's why I left, how is something is quite capable of existing more extreme than a golem?

Why exactly did you want to play Valikorlia? Did you have an interest in text-based roleplaying, or did you log on just to log on? Without an interest in writing and text-based roleplaying, you aren't going to enjoy, understand, nor fit in on Valikorlia.
We logged on because it was impossible to RP on GK at the time. We're very open to text based RP, we're the kind of chumps who RP on Morrowind and actually stick to our own personal character's motives. It's not like we were hanging around trolling, we were really minding our own business, I think Pat tried to have an IC conversation, when we got called out for not making sense.

Imbued with a spark of the divine, warforged have souls and require certain needs just like any other living creature, though their needs are wildly different than that of normal humanoids. Originally crafted by the Legacy as construct shells to house human souls, the little understood processes of their creation mistakenly imbued the Warforged with sentience and life. The first order scrapped, the new designation would have them adapted for war. Later, freed from their creators, the Warforged set out to prove themselves as acceptable members of mortal society.
You're telling me that's not fantasy? Let me put it this way, all of your approved races are fantasy. Most don't even have a plausible explanation to their existence, unless you incorporate the fantasy element. Zorbi, on the other hand, are simply fish that evolved the ability to walk and talk like any other sentient being.

Valikorlia, like any tight-knit, relatively small, 10-year-old roleplaying community, is filled with trolls. You ignore them. If they persist, you report them. If the GP, or whoever you reported it to, doesn't do anything, report them to another staff member and report that staff member, too. Sooner or later it will be dealt with. In the mean time, why not just find a secluded area? Most people do that when they want to roleplay with just a friend or two. It not only prevents OOC commentators (which is actually a jail-able offense), but it prevents unwelcome characters from butting in.

Hm. Let me put it this way. A year and half ago, or maybe a bit longer, we had an RPA (Roleplaying Administrator; in charge of managing the server's IC world) that wanted to do an event with sentient fruit beings. That was silly. Walking sentient fish is are just as silly.

We have elves, Drow, weird raptor/bird people (not my cup of tea, obviously), Orcs, high elves, Warforged, vampires, angels, demons, tieflings, devils, psionic things with tentacles on their face, Kender, imps, Gloomkin (imps born out of garbage), lizardmen, satyrs, ogres, dwarfs, and some other races. Why are fish-people the sicking point?

I should mention that while a lot of the races we have might be just as odd as fish-people, they were created during a less 'realistic' time. New anthro races are pretty taboo nowadays, which is why I say that fish-people are "too extreme" for Valikorlia.
